Miss, you really caught the wrong fish!

……

No! Ning Muxuan must not know about this! Not even if you kill me!!!

Qin Heng knew Ning Muxuan's personality best. He was scared to death when Bingshe got angry on weekdays and couldn't stand it at all. Not to mention the current incident -

This big salted fish of his is really going to die!!!!

……

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Heng quickly grabbed Xia Lin's phone, his face had already turned pale with fear. He stammered and begged for mercy.

"No, no, no!!! Sister Xia Lin, please don't tell my sister about this matter!! Otherwise, Xia Lin, you will never see me again!!"

Seeing the panicked expression of the big salted fish in front of him, Xia Lin was even more furious and directly shook off Qin Heng's hand. He snorted angrily, and then mocked with a playful face.

"Are you scared now? If I didn't want to care about you, I would have sent this photo to your sister! I wonder how long you, a big salted fish, can survive by then!!"

"I didn't tell you about your previous lie to Sister Xia Lin, but now you dare to be so smooth-talking in front of me and refuse to tell me the truth! I think you have become too stubborn, right?!"

After saying that, he hit the big salted fish on the head with a hammer. The force was not small. He wanted to teach him a lesson and let him know the consequences of deceiving himself.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's my fault! My fault!! I won't dare to do it again next time! Sister Xia Lin, I will listen to whatever you say in the future and I won't hesitate anymore!"

Seeing Xia Lin's angry look, Qin Heng ignored the pain in his head and quickly smiled bitterly and continued to admit his mistake.

He also understood that Sister Xia Lin was doing this for his own good. If she had sent the photo to Ning Muxuan from the beginning, he would have died several times!

"I know you love me the most, you will never make it difficult for me, right? Please don't get excited!!"

Da Xianyu continued to try to please the other party, and hurried forward to give Xia Lin a shoulder massage...

Now what Qin Heng has to do is to calm Xia Lin down as soon as possible. He has to stabilize things first before he can think of a better way to solve the problem.

Seeing that Qin Heng was finally willing to lower his head and correct his status, Xia Lin's anger subsided a little. However, he still turned away and coldly warned Qin Heng:

"You'd better tell me everything honestly, otherwise I can't save you! Just wait to fend for yourself."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Lin's eyes darkened instantly, then he looked somewhere and continued in a low voice.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, your sister and I came out together, and she's nearby now!"

"!?"

"Varied--!!!!"

When Qin Heng heard Xia Lin say that Ning Muxuan was also nearby, he was almost scared to death!

Qin Heng's face turned pale, his legs began to tremble violently, and his whole body was instantly weak. He looked at Xia Lin in front of him with horror, his teeth trembling constantly, and he stammered for a long time before uttering a word.

"Xia, Xia Lin...why didn't you tell me earlier!!!"

Hearing Da Xianyu's complaint, Xia Lin rolled his eyes at him and continued to reply:

"Are you scared now? It's too late!! Tell me the truth quickly. If I can't solve it, I will personally take you to your elder sister!!"

Hearing this, Da Xianyu dared not continue to conceal it. Whether Xia Lin believed it or not, he had to quickly explain it to the other party.

……

------

Qin Heng has tried to keep his story short and to simplify the content. Because Da Xianyu also knows that he doesn't have much time left.

But even so, Xia Lin, who was listening on the side, was also confused. He couldn't believe it and looked at Qin Heng with a look of looking at a fool.

Big Salted Fish is really speechless

"Sister Xia Lin, don't look at me like that. What I'm saying now is absolutely the truth!"

Xia Lin shook his head and asked with a gloomy face.

"You mean... you and your friends went to a high-end exchange party, and then you met your so-called "senior sister" -"

"And she is now the daughter of Minghua Group? You two just glanced at each other at the dinner, and she inexplicably had a good impression of you and even invited you to a tryst in the woods?"

Da Xianyu was speechless after hearing Xia Lin's strange interpretation, but he still nodded without hesitation.

"Well... that's about it, but what happened later wasn't as outrageous as what you said, Sister Xia Lin... what little forest——"

"Do you take me for a fool? Even a ghost wouldn't believe your words!!"

Before Da Xianyu finished speaking, Xia Lin started to refute him harshly. Qin Heng also became excited when he heard it.

"I've told you the truth. What can I do if you don't believe me? I told you this from the beginning! Even I find it outrageous!!"

Xia Lin angrily said

"What are you dreaming of, you little salted fish? You want a rich lady to throw herself at you? - Do you really think you are the protagonist of some novel? Don't you?!"

"..."

Da Xianyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then tilted his head in confusion and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"maybe?"

“Get lost!!!!”

Seeing that Xia Lin still didn't believe it, Qin Heng had no choice but to sigh helplessly. In his current situation, he could only produce evidence to prove his point.

Qin Heng pointed at the photo on Xia Lin's phone and continued to speak.

"Sister Xia Lin, if you don't believe me, here are the photos. You can check them online to see who is the successor to the current chairman of Minghua Group. If it's just the name and photo, you should be able to find it, right?"

Hearing Da Xianyu's affirmative words, Xia Lin really didn't believe it. He took back his phone and immediately started searching.

But it was only for a moment. Xia Lin was in disbelief, his eyes widened. He raised his head tremblingly and looked at Qin Heng...

"Are you serious?!!!"

……

145. What are you doing here?

Xia Lin looked at Qin Heng in disbelief and almost dropped his phone on the ground.

"Ah!? Are you kidding me?? Are you serious?!!"

Facing Xia Lin's out-of-control appearance, Da Xianyu also expressed his understanding. Even he himself thought it was outrageous, so it must be even more so in the eyes of others.

Qin Heng waved his hands helplessly and continued

"You saw all this with your own eyes, Sister Xia Lin. How could I lie to you? Do you have to push Qing Nian in front of you, Sister Xia Lin, and then take out her ID card before you believe me?"

After hearing Qin Heng's affirmative words and thinking about what she had just seen with her own eyes - now she didn't even want to believe it.

"call--"

Xia Lin took a deep breath and slowly calmed down his extremely excited emotions. He spoke again after a while. However, his tone was obviously much calmer...

"Okay... I believe what you said now, but what about the rest? What happened to you later? Why did it develop into what it is today?"

Qin Heng paused, thought for a while and then answered

"After that..., after returning from that dinner, we went to a dance, until..."

……

Qin Heng continued to tell Xia Lin everything that happened afterwards, including the dance and Qing Nianyi's condition. This also included today's farce...

Xia Lin, who was listening to the lecture, had a funny expression on his face. He was stunned. Well, he was listening to the legend.

It was not until Da Xianyu had finished talking for a long time that she came to her senses. She shook her head stiffly like a puppet with its strings cut, and stammered.

"You, you mean... Qing Nianyi was traumatized by her childhood past, and her whole state was very abnormal. And you, inexplicably appeared in front of her, and because she needed some spiritual sustenance, she regarded you as her 'brother'?"

Qin Heng heard this and nodded again without hesitation.

"That's about it... I also promised others that the housekeeper would take good care of Qing Nianyi."

"So - Sister Xia Lin, you really misunderstood. Qing Nianyi and I are not in that kind of relationship. I just treat her as...sister, sister..."

Qin Heng's voice became quieter and quieter, and he seemed to feel guilty. His eyes inadvertently turned to the side.

But Xia Lin was still keenly aware of this small movement, and she immediately put aside the shock and doubt in her heart.

He walked quickly to Qin Heng, pointed his finger at Da Xianyu's nose, and asked coldly with a gloomy look.

"Do you really just think of her as a sister? Don't you have any other thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Heng suddenly felt his body stiffen. He smiled awkwardly, scratching his head in confusion, and his voice was no longer confident.

"I treat Qing Nianyi as...my sister..."

The hesitant words obviously had no persuasive power in front of Xia Lin.

Xia Lin had no intention of letting Qin Heng go, and continued to ask questions.

"Don't play word games with me, kid! In one sentence - do you like that girl or not!?"

"Like...?"

These two simple words instantly exploded in Qin Heng's mind, and he only felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more scattered...

Does he... like Qing Nianyi?

He didn't know if that feeling could be considered love... To be honest, whether in terms of appearance, figure or personality, Qing Nianyi was undoubtedly the virtuous wife that every man in the world dreamed of marrying.

Of course it would be a lie for Qin Heng to say he wasn't moved...

Although he and Qing Nianyi had not known each other for a long time, and even their first meeting was only a few days ago... But it was precisely because of these few days of getting along that he gradually developed a sense of closeness to Qing Nianyi that was not proportional to the time...

It seemed that when he was with her, he always felt very relaxed and natural, and he really wanted to get close to her.

Even now, her eyes and smile seem to appear in my mind all the time. That smile that is gentle to the bone is always lingering...

In a trance, I even really thought of her as a caring sister who had taken care of me since I was a child...

I want to talk to her all the time, hear her voice all the time, feel her warmth... When she blushes, I can't help but want to bully her...

……

Are these feelings...love?

Yes...

But even he himself didn't know whether this liking came from liking his "sister" or seeing her as a woman...

After a long period of thinking and struggling, Qin Heng still could not find a definite answer. He was constantly examining his position in his heart.

Finally, Qin Heng seemed to have lost all his strength, and he slowly shrugged his shoulders, his eyes dimmed as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally uttered a word.

"I, I don't know either... I can't even see clearly my feelings for Qing Nianyi... I can't explain why... It's like--"

Qin Heng lowered his eyes, looked somewhere involuntarily, and smiled helplessly without knowing why...

"Just like when she stood under the red carpet lights admired by thousands of people, looking at the dim and noisy crowd - she fell in love with me, a useless person with no shining points, at first sight..."

Seeing Qin Heng's distraught and confused look, Xia Lin felt a little distressed, and the feeling of annoyance in his heart became stronger...

It seemed that she couldn't stand Qin Heng's always weak appearance, and seemed to be angry at the other party's indecision, and even the cowardice of not being sure of his own feelings -

Dissatisfaction is rising, almost taking over the high ground of reason...

But Xia Lin seemed to have thought of something, and finally loosened his clenched fist helplessly.

She also slowly lowered her head, with a lot of thoughts in her mind

——Perhaps... Qin Heng can’t be blamed entirely for this...

He had lived almost entirely alone in his childhood. After meeting Ning Muxuan, he became like a flower protected in a greenhouse, living in harmony with the world. Afterwards, he was even deprived of many opportunities to interact with the outside world...

At this point, Qin Heng's perception of the outside world was very limited. His cognition of emotions might have been numb... not to mention the emotion of "liking" or even "loving" a woman...

Whether in the past or now, in Qin Heng's eyes, in his eyes, it seems that there has always been only Ning Muxuan's figure...

……

Ning Muxuan seemed to have given him everything, but also seemed to have forcibly taken away everything from him...

I have tried to persuade Ning Muxuan before, but every time I mention Qin Heng, Ning Muxuan always becomes extremely sensitive, even dangerous, making it difficult for her to speak...

At this point, Xia Lin finally decided not to continue to embarrass Qin Heng.

After slowly exhaling, he stepped forward and gently patted Qin Heng's shoulder.
