[Summary of Yue Xin's day.]

[Yue Jie thought about you about 5 times today.]

[She thought more about Yue Jie than you.]

[Her worries about Yue Jie's future were still pertinent.]

[Even though they were settled in and managing other servants, it was not the same for Yue Xin.]

[Having been a young mistress once before, she knew that there were still differences between one and a Senior Servant that couldn't be bridged.]

[The best bet for Yue Jie was to let you be married to her.]

[Even being a tong fang servant girl would be of higher status than where they were now.]

[She will put in drastic actions now to make it a reality.]

[And when Yue Jie is married to you, she thinks that she would then be able to try and avenge her father.]

[Loyalty: 99]

[Affection: 80]

[Respect: 95]

[Gratitude: 100]

Lin Xuan Qi was flattered that Yue Xin thought of him as worthy of being her brother-in-law.

But what's the deal with putting in 'drastic actions' to make him and Yue Jie be together?

He shook his head and reminded himself that he should let Lee He Song talk Yue Xin into giving up on the idea of avenging her father.

The clan was now in its initial stage of growth; he certainly didn't want to be distracted.

Knock.

The knock on his door made him sit up in his bathtub.

He hoped that it wasn't that mysterious woman who had intruded into his room before.

Fortunately, a familiar voice sounded from behind the doors.

"Master Lin, it's me," Yue Jie said.

"Wait, hold on first, don't come in," he said and stood up from the bathtub, grabbed onto his long jacket.

Meanwhile, Yue Xin, who was standing beside Yue Jie, had ideas of her own when she heard Lin Xuan Qi.

She opened the door, used her hands to push Yue Jie from the back, and shoved Yue Jie into the room.

"Yue Xin, what are you doing!" Yue Jie shouted while she stumbled into the room.

It was too late when she finally steadied herself.

She was already in the room, and Yue Xin had shut the doors.

Yue Jie turned around facing the door with her hands on her hips.

She simmered in anger with puffed cheeks.

"Wait till I get a hold of you!" She stood there, grumbling silently at the door.

Yue Xin, however, didn't leave and was still outside the door trying to eavesdrop and be updated on their progress.

"Yue Jie?!" Lin Xuan Qi didn't expect her to enter the room.

He quickly tried to put on the long jacket he had in his hands.

It was around this moment when Yue Jie turned her body around.

His hands froze in the air when he saw her glance at him.

Yue Jie's body also froze where she was standing.

She had heard stories from her sisters when she was still a young mistress.

They had told her what it was like, and how it was done.

She could only use her imagination to try and visualize it.

"First, you wouldn't like it, there would only be pain.

"But then, you will grow to long for it.

"The pleasure and senses are the most wonderful thing a woman could ever experience."

Words spoken by them came into her mind again.

And imageries from booklets that mothers passed down to their daughters on how to do the deed appeared at the same time.

Her face flustered and her ears red hot from the rush of blood all over her body.

"I'm sorry, Master Lin... It was Yue Xin. She shoved me into the room."

Yue Jie used the last bit of self-discipline to look away from Lin Xuan Qi.

Having been practicing his martial arts constantly had chiseled his body to a perfect shape.

His shoulders were broad and his arms were buffed.

The abdomen was perfect with a six pack.

His body was now burnt into her mind.

"I know," Lin Xuan Qi replied.

So that's the drastic actions she had in mind, huh? He thought silently to himself while he tightened the belt for the long jacket.

"I came here to give you this..." Yue Jie stretched out her hand and showed him the golden lock that was on her palm.

"A gift?" He came closer to her, with every step leaving a wet footprint on the ground.

Lin Xuan Qi inspected the golden lock and saw the inscription 'Prosperous Family' on it.

He figured it wasn't an item for this occasion.

Most likely it was for her wedding or childbirth.

"Why are you giving me this? Shouldn't it be for your wedding or something?" He picked up the golden lock and asked.

Even though he was dressed in his long jacket, Yue Jie's face was still turned away, and she glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.

Her shy and timid look at that moment was somehow arousing to him.

As she breathed heavily, Lin Xuan Qi could see her bosoms rise and fall accordingly.

It was an expression he had never seen before from her.

She had always been the stable and calm presence among Xue Cong, Yue Xin, and Liu Shi Shi.

"It's a gift to thank you for allowing us to visit our father," Yue Jie said with her hand still stretched out at him.

She was so nervous that she had forgotten to draw it back.

"Don't you feel tired?"

Lin Xuan Qi held his hand onto her wrist and pushed it down.

Luckily for her, his hand let go immediately.

Her tense body relaxed for a moment.

Before she could say anything, she felt his hand on her neck.

Which made her body tense up again.

Lin Xuan Qi's laughter could be heard.

He didn't want to give up on this chance to tease her.

"Master Lin, you..." She protested softly with her sweet voice.

"Thanks. I'll safekeep this golden lock for you in the meantime.

"Better go back and rest, it might be a long day for you."

Lin Xuan said and turned around.

She quickly took the opportunity and got out of his room.
