Mother, is everything arranged?

Yukino held the teacup in both hands, her eyes filled with concern.

Snow Mother nodded.

The basic deal is done. This person from the Shinomiya family is much more reliable than I imagined.

Yang interrupted with a grin.

Because Ling Qingjun is the guarantor!

correct…

She suddenly turned to Ling Qing: "You and Yukino shouldn't go back tonight, it's so late."

Yukino frowned slightly: Haruno-neechan, we…

Ok, deal!

Yang clapped his hands, leaving no room for refusal: "Wouldn't Mother agree too?"

Xue Mu took a sip of black tea to hide her momentary panic.

Of course.

It's getting late, you should stay here, otherwise it wouldn't be in accordance with the Yukinoshita family's hospitality.

Ling Qing keenly noticed a hint of unease in Xue Mu's eyes, but he simply smiled and nodded.

Then I'll have to bother you.

……

It's quiet at night.

The mansion beneath the snow fell into a slumbering tranquility.

Snow Mother stood in front of the bathroom mirror, drying her wet hair with a towel.

The hot water gave her fair skin a faint pinkish hue.

The neckline of the bathrobe was slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone.

Hopefully the soundproofing is good enough…

she said to herself.

The sounds that might have come out at night involuntarily surfaced in my mind, and my cheeks immediately burned.

As a mother, she shouldn't be thinking about these things, but as a woman…

What are you thinking? You have no shame!

Snow Mother gently scolded herself in the mirror, trying to suppress the inappropriate images in her mind.

She straightened her bathrobe.

Ensure that every inch of skin is properly covered.

Then take a deep breath and push open the bathroom door.

The corridor was pitch black, with only moonlight streaming through the windows onto the floor.

Snow Mother tiptoed toward her bedroom.

As she passed by Yukino and Haruno's room, she deliberately slowed her pace.

They should be asleep by now, right?

She silently recited the words in her heart, but then she heard faint voices coming from the room.

Snow Mother shook her head and quickened her pace.

Pushing open the door to her bedroom, Xue's mother froze on the spot after taking just one step.

Ling Qing was standing in the center of her room.

His black, tousled hair shimmered with a bluish luster in the moonlight, and his iridescent eyes stared directly at her.

Eh? !

Snow Mother let out a short, startled cry and instinctively gripped the collar of her bathrobe.

Ling... Ling Qingjun? How could you...

Ling Qing helplessly spread her hands.

I'm sorry, madam, I was kicked out by Yukino and Haruno.

Drive them out?

Snow Mother's mind went blank.

What do you mean?

literal meaning.

Ling Qing pointed to the tightly closed door behind her.

They locked the door and said they wanted me to come see you tonight.

???

Snow Mother felt a wave of dizziness.

She took a half step back and leaned against the door, her legs trembling slightly beneath her bathrobe.

This...this is ridiculous, how could they have such a poor count?

She has no recollection of educating her daughter in this way.

……

At the same time, in the next room.

Sister, what are you doing?

Yukino lowered her voice, trying to pull her older sister, who was eavesdropping on the wall, back to her senses.

Yang raised a finger and placed it against his lips.

Hush

Yukino was speechless.

What we're doing is wrong. Letting Ling Qing go and do the planning is simply outrageous!

Yang turned his head and winked mysteriously.

Actually, I have a secret I discovered to tell you, Yukino.

secret?

She walked gracefully up to Yukino and whispered in her ear.

We are not actually our mother's biological daughters.

What? Yukino's eyes widened.

To be precise, my mother was still... pure.

Yang Nai grinned mischievously: "How about that? Were you surprised? When I first discovered this secret, I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth for a long time."

……

Yukino's worldview seemed to have been turned upside down.

How...how is this possible? Why are you only telling me now?

It's only fun now!

Yang Nai's ears twitched; she seemed to have heard something. Her eyes lit up, and she pressed herself against the wall again.

Listen, there's a sound!

???

Yukino looked completely bewildered.

She hadn't yet recovered from the shocking words she'd just heard.

……

P.S.: The picture is Yukino Yukinoshita!

Next room.

The snow beneath the snow still lingers in a state of shock.

Ling Qing remained unusually calm.

He walked slowly closer and stopped a step or two away.

In fact, Yukino and Haruno asked me to come here today not only to help you solve the crisis of the Yukinoshita family, but most importantly, for your sake.

For...me?

Yukinoshita Miyuki blinked her bewildered eyes, completely unaware that she and Rei were already within arm's reach.

They love you very much.

Ling Qing interrupted, saying, "That's precisely why they hope you can truly be happy."

So they asked me to... win you over.

???

Yukinoshita Miyuki's beautiful eyes widened, her mind trembling.

Ling Qingjun, please, please don't joke around.

With a forced, awkward smile, the lady slowly backed away until she touched the wall.

Ling Qing slowly approached once again.

He said frankly: I'm not joking, and I think you can feel my sincerity, madam.

The lady's hand fell limply to her side.

This is ridiculous... I'm already...

Forty-three years old is the age when a woman is most charming.

Ling Qing smiled and said, "Madam, do you know? I was attracted to you the first time I saw you."

The intense gaze made the lady's cheeks burn.

Ling Qingjun, please say these kinds of things...

Why can't you say it?

Ling Qing took another half step forward, and now they could almost hear each other's breaths.

You are beautiful, intelligent, and strong, yet you have confined yourself to the title of head of the Yukinoshita family for several years.

Now that the shackles have been removed, why continue to suppress yourself?

The lady wanted to refute, but found herself speechless.

Ling Qing's words were like a key, gently prying open the locked door deep within her heart.

Are you lonely?

Ling Qing's voice was deep and gentle.

Every night I lie alone on this big bed, listening to the ticking of the clock, counting the patterns on the ceiling, all by myself.

……

The lady's breathing became unusually disordered because of his words.
