How About Becoming My Sister-in-Law?

Xue Qinghe nodded, a rare sight. "All right!"

"From now on, I won't interfere with your normal life again, and I'll also withdraw all surveillance on you. But before that, I want you to promise me one thing."

Without hesitation, Bofeng asked directly, "Please, go ahead. As long as it's something I can do."

A smile appeared at the corner of Xue Qinghe's lips. "It would be best if we met once a month from now on, just to keep in touch. What do you think?"

So that was all?

As long as Xue Qinghe stopped pestering Bofeng, he could accept this condition.

Meeting once a month was still better than receiving an invitation every day.

"No problem!"

"Then I'll take my leave."

With that, the two slowly went downstairs. After seeing Xue Qinghe off,

Xiao Bai stepped forward and asked, "What did that Crown Prince say to you? Whenever you two met before, it always took ages."

"Nothing." Bofeng shook his head. "He just nagged me a little and resolved some unnecessary trouble."

"I have to admit, she really isn't simple..."

After saying that, Bofeng returned to his room, preparing for Blue Tyrant Academy's test the next day.

The day passed in boredom just like that...

On the quiet night, many people in the city gradually entered their dreams.

Only one room in the imperial palace remained brightly lit.

"Young Mistress, are you really... going to do this?" Snake Lance asked as he watched her dress herself before the mirror.

At that moment, Xue Qinghe had completely shed her original disguise and returned to her female form.

Qian Renxue!

Looking at her elegant and beautiful reflection in the mirror, Qian Renxue smiled faintly. "Uncle She, how did the matter I instructed you to handle go?"

Snake Lance nodded, and then the door slowly opened.

"Xue Qinghe" entered the room. Qian Renxue glanced at "Xue Qinghe" and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad!"

With that, Qian Renxue continued dressing herself.

Snake Lance could not help asking, "Young Mistress, what exactly are you doing this for?"

"What for?"

Qian Renxue put down her comb and smiled calmly. "For him."

The "him" she referred to was naturally Bofeng.

"Young Mistress, could it be that you like..."

Qian Renxue did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Uncle She, don't misunderstand. How could I possibly fall for him?"

Then she snorted coldly. "I have no choice. I've already withdrawn all surveillance on Bofeng. That guy is far too clever; there's no way he'll obediently let himself be tamed by me."

"What do you intend to do?" Snake Lance asked.

"I intend to..."

"I intend to meet him myself. Tomorrow, I'll find an excuse to enter the Department Store. If I remember correctly, we have someone inside the store."

Snake Lance nodded. "Yes. We planted someone there long ago. They are currently doing routine cleaning work in the store."

At this point, the old man's expression abruptly changed.

"Young Mistress, surely you don't intend to use this to enter the store, approach Bofeng, and take the opportunity to investigate his true secrets?"

Qian Renxue nodded slightly. "This is my only chance. Over the past year, no matter how many people I sent, they were still unable to uncover Bofeng's true identity or intentions."

"The more mysterious he is, the more he piques my interest. I'm eager to completely conquer someone like him."

"Just wait. Sooner or later, I'll learn every one of your secrets."

(Bofeng: Be careful not to lose both the wife and the army!)

Early the next morning, the sun shone brightly.

At the Department Store, people streamed in and out, each carrying large and small bags.

Bofeng was still cultivating, while Xiao Bai busied herself with the store's affairs.

Unnoticed, a beautiful figure appeared in the store. Dressed in professional work clothes, she held a broom and diligently swept the floor.

Qian Renxue had successfully infiltrated the place...

"Sister Bai, I'm heading to Blue Tyrant Academy first!"

At that moment, Bofeng came down the stairs and spoke to Xiao Bai, who was carefully going over the accounts nearby.

Xiao Bai waved her hand. "Go on. Just come back early."

Just as Bofeng was about to leave, he happened to notice Qian Renxue diligently cleaning nearby.

?

"Hiss..."

"Sister Bai, who's that? Is she new?"

The store was huge, and they had hired quite a few workers over the past year. Bofeng knew most of them, but this one...

Xiao Bai glanced over and casually said, "She's Xiao Wang's younger sister, Wang Xue. Xiao Wang quit yesterday and went home, saying he was going back to get married. Then he recommended his younger sister to work here. I thought the girl seemed decent—quiet and refined, and quite pretty too—so I kept her on."

"Not that I'm criticizing you, but you're already so grown up, yet you're always wandering around outside. Since Xue Qinghe has stopped following you, you should focus on..."

Qian Renxue deliberately listened for a while. Sure enough...

Something important was about to be said...

Xiao Bai solemnly continued, "Finding yourself a wife! Before you left the island, your mother told you that the next time you returned, you had to bring a daughter-in-law back with you. Better yet, give her a big chubby grandson!"

Bofeng's face darkened, while Qian Renxue staggered...

"Now you have money, and you don't look bad either. And now that Xue Qinghe isn't watching you anymore, you can find..."

In an instant, Bofeng vanished...

Xiao Bai shook her head helplessly. "That brat always runs whenever this comes up. He's really giving me a headache."

"Forget it..."

Then Xiao Bai looked at Wang Xue and instructed, "Go clean the boss's bedroom. If there's any junk, just throw it out."

Qian Renxue nodded and slowly headed toward Bofeng's bedroom. She had finally found an opportunity. This time, she could not let it disappoint her.

Meanwhile, after leaving the store, Bofeng made his way to Blue Tyrant Academy, where Liu Erlong had already been waiting for a long time.

Finding a wife was a sore spot for Bofeng. It was not that he did not want one, but that he could not find someone truly compatible.

Yet Xiao Bai nagged him about it every other day, while his mother, Bo Saixi, occasionally sent letters urging him on as well. Both sides kept pressing and pressing...

"Boss Bofeng, you're here." Liu Erlong stepped forward.

Bofeng nodded. "Where are the students? I can hardly wait."

"The students have all gathered on the training grounds. They're just waiting for your arrival, Boss Bofeng."

As she spoke, Bofeng followed Liu Erlong into Blue Tyrant Academy.

Elsewhere, Qian Renxue arrived in Bofeng's room. Following Xiao Bai's instructions, she was supposed to clean the place.

Looking at the spotless room, she found it exceptionally clean. What was there to clean?

Just as Qian Renxue was preparing to look for something related to Bofeng...

Xiao Bai walked in...

"Boss Bai." Qian Renxue hurriedly greeted her.

"Mm." Xiao Bai nodded, then began looking Qian Renxue up and down.

Xiao Bai nodded in satisfaction from time to time, leaving Qian Renxue completely baffled.

It was Xiao Bai who had told her to clean the room, and now it was Xiao Bai who had come in. This brother and sister pair were each more mysterious than the other.

"How about becoming my sister-in-law?"

Qian Renxue: "?"
