Qin Xiuchen glanced at the students walking about and pulled his hat down. “There was none after the Old Master’s death.”

“No doubt she’s the Qin family’s bloodline. But Butler Qin doesn’t know, right…” The manager tutted.

If he knew, how could he be so calm?

Qin Xiuchen remained silent. He wasn’t in the direct line. He had been brought back from the jackal tiger’s den by the Old Master and had hence dodged a bullet. If it wasn’t because he had been dormant in the entertainment industry, the Fourth Master wouldn’t have let him go.

Without Old Master Qin, he might not have survived in his teens. It wasn’t until he formed wide connections that he helped Butler Qin find Qin Hanqiu.

Standing in silence, they saw Qin Ran coming out of the gate with a book and a backpack.

A black headphone cord hung around her neck.

The manager stopped talking.

“Sister!” Qin Ling took two steps forward and excitedly called her, his dark eyes brightening.

Walking through the crowd, Qin Ran approached them without rushing. Weaving among the crowd, she slightly squinted and looked obviously annoyed.

Qin Xiuchen pulled up his mask and lowered his voice. “Get in the car first.”

They walked forward, but not far away, three boys trotted over. “Qin Ran, the professor said that you’ve almost finished this exercise. Can you lend it to us?”

The boy wore an unzipped black jacket, looking tall and handsome.

She lowered her head to pull out a book and handed it to him. “I just finished writing it.”

The three boys were obviously familiar with her and weren’t very courteous to her.

After they left, Qin Xiuchen asked as she walked into the car, “Your classmates?”

“No.” Qin Ran held her book with another hand and lazily squinted. “My senior.”

“You’re a freshman?” The manager took the key and glanced at her in surprise.

Getting into the car, she took off her headphones and squinted. “Yeah.”

Sitting in the driver’s seat, the manager also wanted to ask why a senior was borrowing her exercise books. But seeing her cold and impatient face in the rearview mirror, he couldn’t help but hold back.

Qin Xiuchen and Qin Ling had set off the next afternoon. Since the kids were present, Qin Xiuchen didn’t drink and only ordered two juices for them.

After eating, Qin Ran didn’t ask anyone to pick her up and just asked the manager to bring her back to Beijing University’s intersection.

This was a good sign. At least she wasn’t being too courteous with him.

Wearing a big windbreaker, Qin Xiuchen sent her out of the car but didn’t dare to go beyond that.

He stood beside the car, waiting for her to be out of sight before he gathered his coat and walked into the car.

“Film Emperor Qin, your niece is a little interesting.” The manager took out a cigarette from his pocket, staring at Qin Ran’s back curiously.

Inside the Cheng family house.

Cheng Juan hadn’t planned on coming back for dinner at night, but since Qin Ran wasn’t around, he drove back to the old house.

Today wasn’t a monthly family dinner, but Cheng Wenru, Cheng Raohan, and a few other masters were sitting in the middle of the hall, discussing important matters.

Old Master Cheng sat at the front, wearing a Tang suit as always, his eyes strict.

“Beijing has experienced changes recently.” The main hall master stood up and reported. “Two branch offices in City C need to be transferred back. This year…”

City C was a mountainous area, where several forces of the Cheng family were housed. Other than Beijing, City C had a high population.

While holding a teacup, Old Master Cheng sternly glanced at Cheng Juan, who was slowly playing with his cigarette. “You can go this year.”

“Dad?!” Cheng Raohan immediately stood up upon hearing this with a drastically changed expression.

1

The phone in his hand was almost deformed by him.

Sure enough, the Old Master still pampered the little son as always. Even if he knew nothing, the piece of sweet pastry in City C would still be given to him.

1

Everyone knew that going to City C was beneficial.

The other hall masters exchanged glances.

The man sitting in the chair calmly lifted his delicate chin and said lazily and sloppily, “I refuse.”

2

Sitting next to him with her legs crossed prim and proper, Cheng Wenru glanced at him, but somehow maintained her ladylike demeanor without rolling her eyes.

2

Cheng Juan looked down at his watch. It was 8:30. She was probably returning home. He patted his sleeves and stood up. “Dad, everyone, I’ll head back first.”

Cheng Raohan’s heart relaxed, and he sneered—

As expected, he was still weak and inept.

2

Glancing at his back, Cheng Wenru stood up and greeted Old Master Cheng and the others, before hurriedly catching up with him.

“Why don’t you grab such a good opportunity? You’re going to piss Dad off!” She fiercely folded her arms, her tone aggressive.

Biting his cigarette with clear eyebrows, Cheng Juan replied, “What’s so fun about City C? I’m not going. Let’s go.”

He lazily waved to Cheng Wenru, then pressed a button. The car door opened, and he drove away.

In the afternoon the next day.

Qin Xiuchen and Qin Ling arrived at the airport in City C. They went up the half-developed mountainous ancient town scenic area with the crew’s car.

After they arrived in City C, he took Qin Ling to look around the ancient town under the mountain instead of immediately starting work. After asking about Qin Ran’s preferences, he bought many local specialties.

Then, he packed the things neatly into three parts.

Glancing at the three gifts, the manager asked someone to keep them. “Are these for Butler Qin, your niece, and Second Master Qin?”

It wasn’t the first time Qin Xiuchen had done this kind of thing. Whenever he went somewhere, he would buy some local specialties and send it back.

This time, the three divided gifts should be for the three people.

Staring at the three gifts for a long while, Qin Xiuchen’s eyebrows drooped, and he replied after a pause, “No, they’re all for Butler Qin.”

“All for Butler Qin?” Taken aback, the manager didn’t understand his intentions. But since he was ordered to send them to Butler Qin, he didn’t ask much and immediately turned around to arrange for someone to handle it.

Qin Xiuchen returned to his room after the manager left.

Since they weren’t familiar with this place, he was too worried about Qin Ling and had him stay in a room together.

Qin Ling was playing games on the computer when he entered.

Sitting next to him, he asked, “Xiao Ling, I’ll ask Butler Qin to send some gifts to your sister. Do you think she’ll want it?”

After getting along for so long, Qin Xiuchen already knew that the older sister Qin Ling always talked about was Qin Ran.

Hearing this, Qin Ling raised his head from the computer.

Instead of immediately answering, he opened WeChat and clicked on the first blank profile picture that had been pinned on top—

[Sister, Uncle wants to give you something.]

1

After a long while, he slowly received a reply—

[Ok.]

Just one answer. Staring at the word for a long while, Qin Ling still couldn’t figure out the meaning. He looked through the address book for a long time and clicked on a completely black portrait—

He quickly typed a string of words and sent it.

In Ting Lan, Cheng Juan received the message from Qin Ling. He leaned on the sofa and glanced at the string of words expressionlessly.

Qin Ran’s intention was clearly stated inside.

After a long while, he replied—

[Remember to send it to school.]

He naturally could tell that Qin Ran adored her younger brother.

Cheng Juan replied faster than Qin Ran, within two minutes.

Qin Ling glanced at his reply and casually sent a smiley face.

Qin Xiuchen never turned to look when Qin Ling was typing. He respected his privacy. Otherwise, he would definitely have recognized the profile picture.

Satisfied with the answer, Qin Ling kept his phone. “My sister doesn’t like noisy people.”

“Okay.” Qin Xiuchen waited for a long time patiently and noted it down one by one. “I’ll tell Butler Qin to stop talking. Forget it, I’ll write another note.”

1

“Oh, there’s nothing else.” Qin Ling retracted his gaze and continued playing games.

Qin Xiuchen nodded and asked, “Does your sister have any other preferences?”

He had already bought Qin Ling all the novelties in City C.

He rarely felt a sense of belonging after the Old Master’s death, but he was very considerate towards the two siblings.

One day later, at 8 pm, Butler Qin received the things Qin Xiuchen sent to Beijing.

Butler Qin was now studying the project with the three programmers and Ah Hai.

This was the first time they had come in contact with a project of the headquarters in recent years, so they were in a tense moment. Hence, Butler Qin and the others were very concerned.

Ah Wen came back inside. “Butler Qin, the Sixth Master has sent something back.”

“Send it to the old house.” Butler Qin didn’t even look up.

Before Ah Wen left, he frowned. “The person who sent it said one of the packages has to be delivered personally to the recipient.”

“I’m very busy here.” Butler Qin put down the documents and stood up, massaging his eyebrows wearily. “What important thing do you want me to send?”

“It’s an address in Beijing University,” Ah Wen glanced down at the memo and replied.

Staring up at the sky, Butler Qin reluctantly said, “It’s too late now. I’ll send it tomorrow.”

If it weren’t for Qin Xiuchen, Butler Qin would never leave his home to hand something privately in such an emergency.
