"Alright." Su Qingwen nodded quickly, feeling extremely irritated.
She wondered what Shen Lingyun was up to.
Then, she closed her eyes and leaned against the side helplessly.
"Sister - in - law." Hua Xue'er came running in again, staring at her with an "innocent and naive" look.
Su Qingwen was taken aback. She felt her hair stand on end. She swallowed with some difficulty and asked, "Honey, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just suddenly thought my attitude was so bad before. I came back to apologize to you. Good sister - in - law, I was just out of my mind. Please don't be angry with me." As she said, Hua Xue'er moved a bit closer to Su Qingwen.
Su Qingwen widened her eyes. She didn't expect this bratty girl to be so sensible and know how to apologize. Then she cleared her throat and waved her hand: "Forget it. For the sake of your elder brother, I won't argue with you anymore. But you must remember to see your own heart clearly and don't associate with those riff - raff."
Riff - raff? She was clearly referring to Shen Lingyun!
Hua Xue'er frowned tightly. Her face didn't look good. She bit her lips tightly and retorted, "Sister - in - law, you don't understand anything. Don't judge my feelings, okay?"
"Fine." Su Qingwen felt that she was being a bit nagging. She didn't want to be a complete villain in front of Hua Xue'er. Then she snorted: "I've said what I need to say. You can do as you like."
Suddenly, a fragrance wafted into her nostrils. Su Qingwen was stunned. She didn't know what was going on. She lowered her head and suddenly felt dizzy.
"Sister - in - law, what's wrong with you?" Although Hua Xue'er was angry, she still cared about her. Seeing that Su Qingwen was not right, she immediately went to support her.
"I'm okay." Su Qingwen took a deep breath and found that the smell seemed to be coming from Hua Xue'er. She squinted her eyes, looked back at Hua Xue'er, and asked curiously, "What's that smell on you? It's so strange. It makes me dizzy."
"The smell on me?" Hua Xue'er sniffed and suddenly said in realization, "Is it my jade pendant? Didn't Shen Lingyun give it to me? He said this jade pendant has spiritual energy and will emit different scents according to the people it meets. That's what you smelled just now, sister - in - law."
"I see." Su Qingwen covered her nose and moved a bit further away. She felt that this thing was a bit strange. She reached out her hand and said, "Xue'er, this jade pendant is so strange. Can you lend it to sister - in - law for one night?"
"Ah?" Hua Xue'er was slightly stunned. She was a bit reluctant to hold the jade pendant and stood there, not knowing how to answer.
"Don't worry. I will definitely take good care of it. I won't let it get scratched or damaged at all. How about it?" Seeing her nervous look, Su Qingwen shook her head and sighed, making a promise.
"Alright. You said so, sister - in - law. Don't lie or break it. Otherwise, I'll be heart - broken." Hua Xue'er covered her chest with her hand, looking "heart - stricken".
Seeing this, the veins on Su Qingwen's temple throbbed: "Don't worry. I won't."
Then, the two chatted casually for a while. After Hua Xue'er left the jade pendant with Su Qingwen, she left.
"System, quickly analyze what mysterious thing is in this jade pendant. I felt so uncomfortable when I smelled that fragrance just now, but Xue'er seems okay." Su Qingwen blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
[System: Sorry, this is a technical issue. I can't reply now because you can't use any skills. If I help you, it will be considered a foul.]
"What?" Su Qingwen was so angry that she was about to explode. She forced a smile and slapped the table hard: "Come on, what kind of crazy rule is this? I've never heard of it!"
[System: Honey, calm down. I've given you too many reminders recently. I can't go on like this. Otherwise, my operation will be restricted. You surely don't want to see that, do you?]
Su Qingwen snorted. She thought the system's functions were extremely poor. Last time when she was almost dead, the system didn't offer any constructive suggestions.
Forget it. She'd better rely on herself.
She reached out and picked up the jade pendant, then quickly walked outside.
Unexpectedly, the moment she touched the jade pendant, she felt a strange energy surging in her body. She couldn't help but squint her eyes. Her consciousness began to blur. Su Qingwen covered her chest and collapsed on the ground.
The night gradually enveloped the earth. The moon was shining brightly. Su Qingwen's eyes suddenly opened. She stared blankly ahead and slowly walked out. This time, she was heading towards the Shen family.
Shen Lingyun was playing the zither under the moonlight. His fingers were dancing nimbly. The beautiful melody flowed from the zither, seemingly full of refreshing beauty. But in an instant, the melody became rapid, like big and small pearls falling on a jade plate.
Su Qingwen appeared in this situation. Her body was like a fluttering butterfly. Although her eyebrows were blank, her face was extremely beautiful under the moonlight.
"You're here." Seeing the woman he had been longing for coming, Shen Lingyun stopped what he was doing and quickly walked to her side.
Su Qingwen seemed even more charming today. Her eyes were truly full of autumn water.
Just looking at her like this, Shen Lingyun couldn't help but reach out his hand to caress her cheek: "Qingwen, do you know how much I've missed you?"
As he said, he lowered his head, trying to kiss her crystal - clear and beautiful lips.
"Don't." A glimmer of clarity seemed to return to Su Qingwen's eyes. As if she had been greatly stimulated, she suddenly widened her eyes and quickly stepped back a bit.
Why did she regain consciousness at this moment?
Surprise filled Shen Lingyun's eyes. Then he frowned tightly, grabbed her arm, and held the jade pendant in front of Su Qingwen, saying in a bewitching tone, "Qingwen, be a good girl. Don't resist me, okay?"
Su Qingwen only had a little bit of consciousness left. After his agitation, she suddenly fell down.
