The Female Villain Lost Her Memory After Rebirth - Chapter 241
Liu Lingxiao bit the rim of her wine glass and casually teased, “Come to think of it, shouldn’t you know more about this than me?”Expplôre 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el//bin(.)c𝒐m
Gu Qinghuai was taken aback, his face full of confusion. “Know more about what? Do you realize you’re damaging my reputation?”
Liu Lingxiao shook her head and clicked her tongue. “I’m just stating facts, aren’t I? I’ve seen you at the brothel before when I used to frequent them.”
Gu Qinghuai was even more bewildered. He gathered his thoughts and said through gritted teeth, “Think carefully, what was the reason I went to the brothel that time?”
Liu Lingxiao fell into deep thought. She vaguely remembered that Gu Qinghuai’s visit to the brothel that time was because someone was trying to capture her!
She awkwardly rubbed her nose and said, “So, don’t tell me that was the only time you’ve ever been to a brothel?”
Gu Qinghuai coldly replied, “What else did you expect? Did you think I was like you, going to brothels every other day to flirt with the girls?”
Liu Lingxiao feigned innocence. “I go to brothels to support their business, okay? It’s not like I could actually do anything with them, could I?”
Gu Qinghuai let out a cold snort but didn’t say anything more.
Liu Lingxiao, knowing she was in the wrong, naturally didn’t speak further either.
Meanwhile, the newly married couple didn’t come downstairs together until nearly noon the next day.
Xu Yan was leaning most of her weight on Ye Jin as she walked slowly, looking a bit pouty.
Ye Jin coaxed her in a low voice, “Yan Yan, is there anything else you’d like to eat?”
Xu Yan asked in a tiny voice, “Can we not do that anymore in the future?”
Ye Jin thought for a moment and gently shook his head. “No, we can’t.”
Xu Yan knew she was being unreasonable, but she really couldn’t control her temper at the moment.
Ye Jin leaned close to her ear and whispered, “How about I be gentler next time?”
Xu Yan’s eyes welled up with tears. “It still hurts!”
Ye Jin sighed, his voice softening, “Yan Yan.”
Xu Yan was most susceptible to Ye Jin’s slightly aggrieved tone. She bit her lip and said, “O-okay then.”
Although Ye Jin had always known that his Yan Yan was most compliant with him, hearing her agree still made him incredibly happy.
“You haven’t left yet? I thought you’d set off early,” Xu Mo said. He was sitting at a table with Gu Qinghuai, drinking together, when he suddenly saw the couple coming down from upstairs.
In front of Xu Mo, Xu Yan suddenly wrapped her arms around Ye Jin’s waist, clinging to him entirely. “Ye Jin, I’m so hungry!”
Ye Jin’s lips curved into a smile. He first addressed Xu Mo, “We’re leaving for our honeymoon this afternoon. Yan Yan couldn’t get up that early.” Then he lowered his head to pat Xu Yan’s head, “Don’t worry, don’t worry. There’s always food in the kitchen.”
Xu Mo watched pensively as the couple walked into the kitchen, all lovey-dovey. Suddenly, he realized, “Are they deliberately showing off their affection?”
Gu Qinghuai calmly took a sip of wine. “You haven’t noticed? Whenever you’re around, your sister becomes very proactive in cuddling up to Ye Jin. She might be trying to stimulate you into finding a sister-in-law for her.”
Xu Mo: “…This little fool, why is she worrying about such things?”
Gu Qinghuai said with a straight face, “In fact, everyone can pretty much see it.”
Xu Mo raised an eyebrow. “See what?”
Gu Qinghuai smiled. “Your sister’s concern isn’t misplaced. We all think her worry is quite necessary.”
Xu Mo: “…”
He fell silent for a moment, then suddenly counterattacked, “What about you? How many hundreds of years have you been chasing Miss Liu?”
Now it was Gu Qinghuai’s turn to fall silent. He and Xu Mo exchanged a glance, and they simultaneously raised their wine glasses to clink them together.
Everything was understood without a word.
When Liu Lingxiao came downstairs yawning, Ye Jin was just about to go down with a suitcase.
She waved lazily, “Ready to take Yan Yan on your honeymoon?”
Ye Jin spared her a glance. “Yes, there’s plenty of food in the kitchen. If you’re staying here, help yourself. Don’t starve yourself to death.”
Liu Lingxiao remained languid. “Got it.”
As Ye Jin carried the suitcase downstairs, he turned back to add, “Also, don’t eat those two parrots. Yan Yan loves playing with them.”
Liu Lingxiao slowly made her way downstairs. “Who wants to eat parrots? There’s hardly any meat on them, what’s there to eat?”
Ye Jin didn’t bother to respond. However, Xu Yan, who had been sitting quietly waiting, saw Liu Lingxiao and cheerfully waved, “Sister! You’re up!”
Liu Lingxiao walked over to Xu Yan and examined her complexion. “Little one, are you alright?”
Xu Yan made a pained face. “I’m about to not be okay.”
Liu Lingxiao rubbed her face and took hold of her wrist. She appeared to be taking Xu Yan’s pulse, but a gentle force flowed from her fingertips, gradually spreading throughout Xu Yan’s body.
Xu Yan clearly felt her body filling with strength. She looked at Liu Lingxiao in shock. “Sister!”
Liu Lingxiao released Xu Yan’s hand after a while and stretched lazily. “Have a good time these days. Next time, come visit me.”
Xu Yan couldn’t help but hug Liu Lingxiao tightly, planting a kiss on her cheek. “Sister, you’re the absolute best!”
Ye Jin, who had just finished packing and was about to call for his Yan Yan: “…”
He walked over with a puzzled expression. “What are you two doing?”
Liu Lingxiao smiled, wrapping an arm around Xu Yan’s waist and skillfully tilting up her chin with her slender fingers. “Yan Yan, give sister a smile.”
Xu Yan smiled innocently. “Sister~”
Ye Jin: “…?”
He came over and pulled the two apart. “What are you doing? Yan Yan, stay away from Liu Lingxiao, she’s corrupting you.”
Xu Yan puffed out her cheeks. “I just want to play with sister for a bit! Who knows when I’ll see her again!”
Ye Jin glanced at Liu Lingxiao and openly “slandered” her. “Your sister used to frequent brothels every day, flirting with young girls on the streets. She doesn’t treat only you this way!”
Xu Yan looked at Liu Lingxiao in shock, her gaze gradually turning pitiful. “Sister, so I’m not your most beloved person?”
Liu Lingxiao played along. “Yan Yan, if you want, I can cut ties with all my previous bosom friends.”
Ye Jin interrupted their melodrama. “Come off it, is there even half a word of truth in what you say?”
With one hand carrying a suitcase and the other arm around Xu Yan, he walked towards the exit. “Yan Yan, we need to hurry and catch our flight.”
Xu Yan struggled a bit, “Wait a moment, let me finish that scene I was just doing. I think I can still…”
Ye Jin suddenly lowered his head and kissed her, “No, you can’t. You can only do that for me.”
Xu Yan, overwhelmed by his charm, conceded, “Alright then!”
Xu Mo and Gu Qinghuai, who had been watching the scene unfold, exchanged glances before shaking their heads helplessly and averting their eyes.
Liu Lingxiao casually sat down, picked up a wine glass, and took a sip. “How adorable. I hope Yan Yan has a child as cute as she is.”
