Shadow Brake Was Sweet-Talked into Cloud Nine by Shen Qingyi: "The Young Master's Family Has Already Approved of Us Being Together!"
Shadow Brake tilted her head, gave a soft huff, and turned away.
She still wore that expressionless face.
But her beautiful eyes had narrowed slightly, and she looked as though she were floating on air.
Watching Shadow Brake get so thoroughly dazzled by the grand promises his mother had painted for her, Lin An's mouth twitched.
Wasn't she supposed to "never betray" him?
Hadn't she just sold him out on the spot?
Still, he nodded repeatedly, humoring his mother.
"Alright, alright, fine, fine. Yes, yes, Mom, you're right about everything. I have things to do here—"
"You only know how to brush me off."
Shen Qingyi gave a snort, but she did not press the matter further.
"Fine, fine, go get busy. Remember to stay away from that woman. Shadow Brake, keep a close eye on him for me."
Shadow Brake's eyes lit up at once. "Understood, Madam."
Her voice remained as cool and detached as ever.
Yet Lin An could clearly hear the barely concealed delight in it.
The call ended.
Lin An leaned against a stone pillar and let out a long breath.
Then he turned and met Shadow Brake's gleaming crimson eyes.
He gave an expressionless snort. "Get the car. We're going to the hospital."
Shadow Brake nodded and turned to prepare the car.
Her steps were so light that she seemed less like she was walking and more like she was floating.
The young master's family had already approved of her being with him.
Did that mean she and the young master were practically engaged now?
Could they sleep together every day from now on?
Her thoughts were a mess, yet sweet as honey.
A blush flashed across her face.
Her eyes trembled wildly, and she was so excited she could barely breathe.
