Qin Qi listened to the mysterious woman's words hovering in his mind.

His entire being exuded an incredible shock, "What did you say? Are you sure?"

The mysterious woman's laughter was as melodious as an oriole, "Of course I'm sure. Do you think I would lie to you?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but on the surface, Han Siqi is like a queen bee, with a strong and aloof personality. No matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem anything like the kind of person you're talking about!" Qin Qi spoke thoughtfully.

The mysterious woman leisurely said, "Have you ever heard of the word 'contrast'? The more demure and quiet a woman appears, the more flamboyantly she might behave behind the scenes!"

"A woman's true nature, often, you might not discern it in your entire lifetime!"

Qin Qi rubbed his temples, "I still find it hard to believe. But how on earth do you deal with such a person? And how do you handle her?"

The mysterious woman still sounded listless, "That's your problem!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi pondered while entering the school.

All day long, he mused over the upcoming matters at school.

Although he had figured out Han Siqi's weakness, dealing with her still required a series of plans.

After all, it concerned Bai Ying'er's future safety. If one step went wrong, it would be utterly disastrous. Bai Ying'er's life would truly be ruined!

And so, it continued until school was over.

Qin Qi finally made up his mind.

He took out his phone and dialed Han Siqi's number!

"Hello!"

Soon, on the other end of the line, came Han Siqi's cool voice, "So, have you thought it through?"

"Yes, I have thought it through, but we also have conditions!" Qin Qi said with a stern tone.

Han Siqi chuckled, "What conditions?"

"Tomorrow, find a place where we can meet alone and talk!" Qin Qi suggested.

Han Siqi lazily yawned, not overthinking it, "Tomorrow, come to Yulin Hotel, and someone will take you to see me once you're there!"

With that, Han Siqi briskly hung up the call.

Qin Qi took a deep breath, calming his nerves.

He couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

The plan was far from perfect and even a bit risky, but it was his only chance at the moment.

Whether it would succeed or not depended entirely on tomorrow!

"By doing this, it's like throwing yourself into a lion's den. Have you thought about the consequences of failure?" The mysterious woman said leisurely.

Qin Qi walked step by step out of the school.

Soon, he saw Bai Ying'er.

Upon seeing him, Bai Ying'er immediately showed an eager expression, like a little rabbit springing forward, clutching his arm tightly.

Feeling the warmth from Bai Ying'er and seeing the admiration in her eyes, Qin Qi was no longer confused or hesitant.

Because he knew everything he did was worth it.

He responded to the mysterious woman, "If I can't even protect my own woman, what's the point of conquering more women and gaining more power?"

"If I have to risk it, then so be it. Lion's den or not, I must venture in!"

The mysterious woman chuckled softly, "Heh, kid, you really are something!"

Qin Qi didn't respond further, walking home with Bai Ying'er laughing and chatting.

Soon, they grabbed a bite to eat on the way and returned home.

Qin Qi found that Lin Jie had already arrived home early today!

Upon entering, he found Lin Jie tidying up the living room.

Bai Ying'er, still rebellious, barely acknowledged Lin Jie's return and went straight upstairs without saying much.

Only Qin Qi and Lin Jie were left in the living room.

Lin Jie got off work relatively early today and had changed into a clean, simple nightgown, which was quite conservative, revealing no extra flesh even in the height of summer.

Yet even such conservative nightwear couldn't conceal her stunning face and flawless figure.

The right places were well-defined, and a mere nightgown couldn't possibly hide it all.

Even knowing Qin Qi had come home, Lin Jie still didn't utter a word, nor did she look at him directly.

This instantly plunged the living room atmosphere to freezing point.

Qin Qi, embarrassed, hesitated to speak.

After a long while, he broke the awkward silence, "Godmother..."

Lin Jie still showed no intention of responding, continuing to clean the room by herself.

Not giving up, Qin Qi approached, "Godmother, about yesterday..."

Unexpectedly, after tossing the collected trash into the bin, Lin Jie walked straight past Qin Qi and went upstairs.

She closed the bedroom door quickly upon entering, leaned against the doorframe, biting her vibrant red lips, trying hard to calm her emotions.

It wasn't that she didn't want to acknowledge Qin Qi.

In fact, Qin Qi once saved her life and even Bai Ying'er's. His help to this household was evident.

But she was truly afraid, afraid that if she started talking to him, their relationship would take another step forward!

She mustn't go wrong any further.

Yet the more she restrained herself this way, the more magnified the emptiness inside her became. Even without being touched, she could feel an itch in that place.

Desperately, it needed something to fill it.

With these thoughts in mind, she could no longer restrain herself and lay down on the bed.

Her fingers gradually ventured in.

Amidst the flow of water, she couldn't help but let out soft murmurs. That feeling soon captivated her again.

However, it was far from enough compared to what Qin Qi gave her, far from enough...

Meanwhile, Qin Qi stood there in a daze, watching the direction Lin Jie departed for a long time.

Finally, he raised the corner of his lips into a smile, happily entering his room.

Because he knew, there was a turning point now.

"How much power do you have now? Enough to explore Godmother's deeper weaknesses?" Qin Qi eagerly asked.

He knew Lin Jie ignoring him wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

As long as she didn't make an issue of yesterday's events, it meant he still had a chance!

The mysterious woman solemnly replied, "About enough. After exploring Han Siqi's weaknesses, there's some power left, but using these residual forces to probe deeper weaknesses might be somewhat vague."

Qin Qi couldn't care less at this moment. He asked with a serious expression, "Then help me take a look!"

He now deeply understood that relying solely on his own strength to completely understand people's minds was not an easy task.

The mysterious woman pondered for a moment.

Eventually, her lazy voice sounded, "Her deeper weakness is actually her husband!"

"Her husband?" Qin Qi was bewildered, stroking his chin, contemplating as he said, "What kind of weakness is that? Could you explain it in more detail?"
