I'm so close to success!

"Stop making a fuss, your brother-in-law is here."

"Ok?"

Qin Dan, who wanted to continue, was pulled back by Qin Xuan, and looked at Lin Qiu and the others in the distance with some confusion.

Brother Lin Qiu recognized them, and so did the eldest sister. But who were all those other women stealing fish nearby?!

"They're coming soon, stay hidden!"

Chie called out and quickly scurried behind the claw machine, shrinking back as if afraid Lin Qiu would discover her presence.

Even Qin Xuan and Qin Dan, who were standing nearby, darted to another dark spot and furtively stared at the group of people in the distance.

"Those two next to me look like the people in the photos my older sister posted before, right? I remember the one with the big breasts the most!"

"Who are those people over there? Is that little girl's silver hair dyed? She looks so pretty. Wait, this guy is our enemy!"

Looking at Qi Xi, who was only slightly taller than herself, Qin Dan immediately straightened up.

Damn it, besides Qianhui, Lin Qiu only needs himself to take care of little girls like her; everyone else is just fighting over food!

"Hmm - it's quite a threat, we need to be careful."

Qin Xuan nodded, and was about to call out to Qian Hui when he noticed that Qian Hui's gaze was somewhat lost in thought.

She kept her eyes fixed on Chen Xiao, who was confronting Qin Yunmo, and her expression became dazed.

This woman looks like someone I've seen in Lin Qiu's photo album before.

"What's wrong, Chie?"

"Did you see the girl with the ponytail next to Sister Yunmo? I feel like I've seen her in Brother Linqiu's photo album before."

"In the photo album?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan and Qin Dan frowned immediately. The phrase "childhood sweethearts" flashed through their minds, and alarm bells rang in their hearts.

Something is not right!

"Ok?"

Chen Xiao seemed to sense the gaze directed at him and subconsciously looked in the direction where something seemed amiss.

Looking at the rows of claw machines, nothing seemed amiss, so she didn't think much of it and casually asked a question after looking away.

What should we play first?

"Wow! This motorcycle looks so cool! President, let's ride this one!"

Before Lin Qiu and the others could even speak, Wei Ran's excited voice came almost immediately as they looked over.

She eagerly clung to the other side of the simulator, seemingly unwilling to move.

As for Zezhi, she also rode the other motorcycle without hesitation, clearly wanting to completely prove herself superior to her.

"Let's go fishing for dolls. I remember Chie really likes dolls, so we can get her a few."

Qin Yunmo suggested that, besides his own side, Qian Hui was also a crucial point.

She knew very well that Chie was quite attached to her. With her help to increase her favorability, Chen Xiao had no chance against her!

When Chen Xiao heard the name Qian Hui, he blinked in confusion.

Who is Chie?

"Lin Qiu's younger sister is a very well-behaved and adorable little girl."

Qin Yunmo introduced the story casually, but the hint of smugness in his tone made Chen Xiao's eyelids twitch.

So what if he's met her sister? What's there to be so arrogant about! He's already betrothed to her as a child, and he's even met her parents!

"Sister?"

"Yes, I've met her several times. She gets along quite well with my two younger sisters."

Wow!! As expected of the eldest sister, her counterattack was quite sharp, instantly bringing the relationship between our Qin family and the Lin family to the extreme!

Seeing their eldest sister's performance, Qin Xuan and Qin Dan, who were secretly watching from the other side, became excited and clenched their fists with great anticipation.

As expected, the eldest sister needs a sense of pressure, otherwise she really can't reach her full potential!

"Wow—I've seen this many times already."

Chen Xiao glanced at Lin Qiu thoughtfully. When did this guy get a younger sister?

Did it appear after I moved? It seems I need to investigate further and maybe even make contact with Chie!

172 - With my three top assistants present, how could I, Qin Yunmo, possibly lose?

"Lin Qiu, what does your sister like...?"

"Chie likes cute white plush toys, preferably ones that she can hug tightly."

"..."

Hearing Qin Yunmo's quick answer, Chen Xiao's lips twitched slightly.

We already know you've pulled strings with the Lin Qiu family, is it really necessary to emphasize this so much? What's there to be so arrogant about?

"Oh!! Got it, got it—don't go soft!"

Just as the two were locked in a fierce standoff, Shang Yan on the other side had already started playing the claw machine with the others, looking at the claw that had suddenly gone limp with a look of frustration.

It was so hard when it first came out, how come it went soft after that!

"A gamble?"

Chen Xiao glanced at these guys' battle records and asked Qin Yunmo a question with a hint of provocation.

"Fifty coins, let's see who catches the most?"

"bet?"

"It's good as long as you understand it in your heart."

"..."

Watching the two people seemingly exchanging barbs as if they were talking riddles, Lin Qiu felt a chill run down his spine.

He had only taken a few steps back when a small hand suddenly grabbed his clothes, drawing his attention to him.

"Lin Qiu, can you fish one for me too? Ze Zhi and the others say you're incredibly lucky. You should be able to catch something from that claw machine, right?"

Qi Xi asked eagerly. Although she was more interested in heavy-duty robots than dolls, she figured since she was already there, she might as well give it a try.

"Claw machines? They're not that hard to find. Which one do you want? I can help you get the stock... and I'll help you try to catch one."

Lin Qiu casually remarked that, generally speaking, this kind of situation could be left to Qian Hui.

Since Chie isn't here, I'll just fish a little bit for her. If I don't need any more, I can sell it online.

"I want this robot!"

"Row."

Lin Qiu nodded, walked to the claw machine that Qi Xi pointed to, and put the game coins in.

On the other side, Qin Dan watched this scene with her teeth clenched so tightly that they were practically grinding together, wishing she could pounce on the thief and kick him away.

This girl is clearly here to compete for favor! If she gains power, I, as her sister-in-law, will no longer have an advantage!

"Ah Xuan, we can't just sit here and wait to die! Should we rush up and take her down on the spot?"

Qin Dan's inquiry received no response.

Somewhat dazed, she turned her head and saw that Qin Xuan, who had been hiding beside her, had vanished without a trace, leaving her stunned.

Where is he? Such a big person!

Meanwhile, Qin Xuan, who had already hidden elsewhere, silently edited a message and sent it to Qin Yunmo—

"Big sister, the hidden assistant is ready. Do you need support?"

"..."

Silently staring at the unexpected text message, Qin Yunmo's eyelids twitched, and he glanced around blankly.

Xiao Xuan and the others are here too?!

Out of the corner of her eye, Qin Yunmo glanced at Chen Xiao, who was gradually moving closer to Lin Qiu. Originally, she wanted to refuse, but she hesitated instead.

Although things were going in the exact opposite direction of what I expected, now that this extremely dangerous thief had appeared, I couldn't care less about anything else!

"You guys just need to keep Lin Qiu occupied and prevent anyone else from taking him away."

"learn!"

Upon seeing his elder sister's message, Qin Xuan's lips curled into a pleased smile.

My older sister is still so hypocritical; if she had done this earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble!

After putting away his phone, Qin Xuan glanced at Lin Qiu and the others, and after confirming that they hadn't noticed him, he decisively performed a few tactical rolls and returned to Qin Dan's side.

"Xiao Dan, Big Sister says we can go now."

"Should we kill that silver-haired guy?!"

"It's about sticking close to Brother Lin Qiu and preventing other philanderers from getting near him."

"okay!"

Now that her eldest sister had given her permission, Qin Dan no longer hesitated and happily strolled out of her hiding place, heading straight for Lin Qiu.

"Brother Lin Qiu!"

"Ok?"

Lin Qiu casually controlled the claw to hook onto the doll's tag while turning her head back somewhat blankly.

Was it just my imagination? How could I hear Xiao Dan's voice?

However, to his bewildered gaze, Qin Dan came running over and immediately took his arm.

Seeing the two being so intimate, Qi Xi's eyes suddenly narrowed.

What does this mean? What does this mean? They're trying to steal someone right in front of me?!

"What are you doing here? Where are Xiaoxuan and Qianhui?"

"I'm here."

Lin Qiu had just finished asking when Xiao Xuan appeared beside him as if in a flash, and then tightly took his other arm.

"You... are Qin Yunmo's sisters?"

Qi Xi was stunned when she saw the two adorable faces that looked almost identical.

Yunmo, did you feel Chen Xiao was too much of a threat, so you called your sister to come and snatch him away?!

But it's one thing for you to yell, but why did you hug me? And right in front of me, that's a provocation!!

"That's right, she'll be Brother Lin Qiu's sister from now on!"

Qin Dan gave a definite reminder, holding Lin Qiu's arm tightly, as if afraid that Qi Xi would try to take him away from her.

Sensing the two little ones' wariness, Qi Xi clicked her tongue, completely unconcerned.

Two mere little girls, trying to compete with me? They're too green!

"Where is Chie?"

"Chie, she..."

Before Qin Dan could finish speaking, she spotted Qian Hui standing beside Chen Xiao, looking up at the familiar face with a dazed expression.

Staring at him by a little girl who bore a resemblance to Lin Qiu, Chen Xiao immediately recognized her as Lin Qiu's younger sister, and a gentle smile finally appeared on his usually stern face.

"Is there anything I can help you with, little sister?"

"Sister, did you take a picture with Brother Lin Qiu when you were little?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Qianhui's question, Qin Yunmo's gaze immediately turned to her.
