Chapter 689: Chapter 689: The True Purpose of Young Master’s Business Trip [Must Read]

The last weekend before the business trip.

Nalan Ye Jue was working overtime in the office handling documents.

Secretary Lu came in to present the itinerary: "Young Master, everything is ready. The medications, daily necessities, and emergency supplies have all been shipped over." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Nalan Ye Jue glanced at the itinerary: "Okay."

Lu Yi expressed his concern: "Young Master, is it really okay for you to go alone? What if... something happens?"

Nalan Ye Jue: "What could happen?"

Lu Yi was momentarily speechless.

This business trip was not an ordinary one for the Young Master.

It was the time for his biannual recurrence of old health issues.

As long as there were no women around the Young Master, he could get through this recurrence without any problems, and then smoothly pass another six months.

In previous years, the Young Master also avoided the Imperial City and got through it.

But half a year ago, due to some delays, he stayed in the Imperial City and ended up being caught by the young lady...

So, rationally, leaving the Imperial City to heal is the right choice.

Yet for some reason, Lu Yi still felt inexplicably worried: "Young Master, perhaps I could bring some brothers to escort you..."

Nalan Ye Jue waved off his suggestion: "Remember your duty. Stay in the Imperial City and protect her well."

He wasn’t worried about himself at all.

On the contrary, there was that little woman, full of mysteries, and he didn’t know how many people wanted to rip off her disguise and do her harm.

The last time the Imperial University’s teaching building collapsed, he didn’t want a second occurrence.

Of course, Lu Yi knew who the Young Master was referring to as "her."

Miss Qin, of course.

"Rest assured, Young Master, security at Xinghe Bay has been enhanced. The Royal Academy has also sent our people in. However... Miss Qin hasn’t been attending school in recent days; she’s only returned to Qin Group a few times for shareholder meetings."

Lu Yi reported in an orderly manner.

"Furthermore, the Qin Family has been quite docile lately, with no disturbances. Mrs. Qin was kicked out of the shareholders’ meetings and remains at home all day, shut in. Qin Wenrou, failing to maintain her facade, has become quite infamous for her terrible piano skills and hasn’t dared to act out. Little Master Xiao Shuang is comparatively worry-free; he’s doing well in his studies and guitar. Miss Qin doesn’t seem to have much to worry about recently. I’ve seen her at home occasionally drawing some incomprehensible diagrams..."

Nalan Ye Jue: "Mmm. Let her do as she pleases."

Lu Yi was in the middle of his report.

Suddenly, the receptionist called him through the intercom: "Secretary Lu, there’s a visitor in the lobby looking for Mr. Emperor..."

Lu Yi frowned: "Do they have an appointment?"

Receptionist: "They don’t have an appointment, that’s why..."

Lu Yi: "Tell them, no appointment, no meeting."

The receptionist hesitated: "But she claims to be the Young Master’s future mother-in-law."

Lu Yi: "Cough, cough, cough, what future mother-in-law, nonsense!"

Seeing Nalan Ye Jue’s slightly darkened expression, Lu Yi quickly spoke into the intercom: "Who exactly is daring enough to impersonate the Young Master’s mother-in-law?"

Receptionist: "This lady said her surname is Qin..."

At this moment, Lu Yi wished he could disappear: "..."

Nalan Ye Jue gave him a cold glance.

So, this is what you meant by the Qin Family being quite docile recently? Are you sure they’re really that docile?

＝＝

Mrs. Qin sat uneasily opposite Nalan Ye Jue.

Until today, she thought meeting someone like Jun Ruyi, a darling of the heavens, face-to-face was incredibly stressful.

Now she realized what it meant to be truly suppressed without showing a trace.

Nalan Ye Jue was very courteous, having the secretary serve her tea and snacks, even addressing her faintly as "Mrs. Qin."

But for some reason, she still felt as if she were surrounded by an icy chill, unable to stop her hands from wanting to tremble.

This man, appearing gentle and cultivated, nevertheless possessed such a powerful and intimidating aura that made one fear him inexplicably.
