"Hello, Sister Su!"
"Why is it just you and Qin Luo?"
Su Bailian quickly snapped out of her daze and immediately spoke in a sweet, syrupy voice.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she glanced at Su Muwan and Qin Luo.
Aha! What did I tell you!
I caught you red-handed!
Though I really didn’t want to run into that little troublemaker Su Muwan!
But!!
Watching their forbidden love is so entertaining, isn’t it?
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Muwan felt a bit awkward. Why was it just her and Qin Luo?
Wasn’t that basically a date?
She cleared her throat and said, "This lady is very busy. Qin Luo and I are on a secret mission."
Secret mission...
Su Bailian glanced at the cotton candy in Su Muwan’s hand.
You call *that* a secret mission?
She let out an "Oh," patted her chest, and said, "You scared me! I thought you and Qin Luo were on a date!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately observed Su Muwan’s expression.
Based on her understanding of Su Muwan, the other girl would definitely blush, become flustered, and vehemently deny it!!
And that!
Was exactly the reaction she wanted to see!
The more you try to hide and explain, the more I get to enjoy the show!
However...
"A date... hmm..."
Upon hearing this, Su Muwan only blushed slightly. She glanced at Qin Luo.
Then.
*Thump!*
She lightly punched Qin Luo’s chest and hid her smiling lips behind the cotton candy. "Hehehe..."
Su Bailian: ???
Wait, what?!
Su Bailian was stunned.
She looked at Su Muwan, who was hiding behind the cotton candy, and then at Qin Luo, who was trying not to laugh.
Though she had known for a while that these two were together.
But...
So you guys don’t care about keeping it a secret anymore?
This wasn’t supposed to be a clandestine relationship, was it?!
This! This! This!
Ah!
This is so sweet!
Su Bailian cleared her throat. "Got it, got it. I’ll leave you two alone then..."
As she was about to make a quick exit to give them some space, Qin Luo suddenly spoke up in a meaningful tone.
"Do you know who your target just was?"
"??"
Su Bailian looked innocent. "I’m just a pure little girl..."
"That guy is from the Alliance headquarters."
"......?"
"He has a teammate. You’ve probably seen him at the coffee shop."
"?"
"Guess why they’re here in Jiang City?"
"!!!"
As soon as Su Bailian heard this, her pitiful expression vanished in an instant.
Her pupils trembled with shock.
She quickly turned her head to look at the elevator, recalling the appearance of that wealthy man.
No way!
Even the Alliance headquarters has simps?!
And... their purpose for coming to Jiang City...
Su Bailian nervously glanced at Su Muwan.
Who else could it be but her?!
Su Muwan, who had put down her cotton candy, looked confused, her gaze shifting between Qin Luo and Su Bailian.
What are these two talking about...
"We’re doomed!"
Su Bailian clutched her head, panic written all over her face. "They’ll definitely find out I’m Su Muwan’s sister soon. Will they arrest me and throw me in jail?!"
Of all people to mess with, I had to mess with someone from the Alliance! And not just anyone, but someone from headquarters!
This! This! This!
I’m so screwed!
Though Su Muwan didn’t fully understand the context, she could at least grasp the basics. She glared at Su Bailian and said, "Hey?? What does you going to jail have to do with being my sister?"
Upon hearing this, Su Bailian burst into tears. "Waaah! It’s all your fault!"
"Su Muwan, you’re always causing trouble, and now I’m going to get dragged into it too!"
"Why am I so unlucky?!"
"Boqi! My Boqi is going to starve again!"
Su Muwan’s eye twitched.
Sure, she had caused a lot of trouble in her past life.
But!
In this life!
"Hey! It’s Qin Luo who’s causing trouble, not me!"
Qin Luo tilted his head.
"Qin Luo is your boyfriend. So, of course, it’s related to you."
"Huh? You already know?"
Su Muwan was taken aback. Was she that obvious?
"Duh! Only a blind person wouldn’t notice!"
"By the way, if you’re looking for a partner, try..."
"Wait, this isn’t the time for ads!"
The two sisters bickered for a while before finally catching their breath and glaring at each other.
Then, in unison, they turned to Qin Luo.
Out of everyone present, the most reliable person was undoubtedly Qin Luo.
Su Muwan took a deep breath and asked seriously, "So... two people from headquarters are here?"
"What’s their purpose?"
Qin Luo gestured with his hands. "It’s that bronze cauldron you love dreaming about at night, Miss."
"Ahem..."
Su Muwan coughed lightly. "If we give it to them, will we be in the clear?"
Qin Luo thought for a moment, then inexplicably chuckled. "For others, maybe. But for you, Miss..."
"??"
"What do you mean, Qin Luo?!"
Su Muwan stomped her foot in frustration.
Fine.
Qin Luo had a point. Even if she handed over the bronze cauldron, things probably wouldn’t be resolved.
In that case...
Su Muwan looked at Qin Luo and said, "Then we won’t give it to them!"
"Not give it? Won’t that make things worse?"
Su Bailian timidly chimed in.
Su Muwan raised an eyebrow and snorted. "Let it escalate! I don’t believe they’d dare cause trouble on my turf!"
Waaah!
Can you not be so overconfident?
Su Bailian looked on the verge of tears and turned to Qin Luo. "Qin Luo, say something."
Qin Luo shrugged and said, "The two who came are easy to deal with. One of them is already halfway taken care of."
"?? Halfway taken care of?"
Su Muwan was puzzled.
Then, she looked at Su Bailian.
The latter was equally confused. "Are you talking about that guy named Wang Yun?"
"Yep, that’s the one."
"But he’s from headquarters..."
"Setting aside his position at headquarters, he’s just a simp. You’re perfect for dealing with him."
As Qin Luo spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked at Su Bailian with a playful glint in his eyes. "Besides, since you’ve already laid the groundwork, we might as well fan the flames."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
Su Bailian shrank back, feeling like anything involving Qin Luo and Su Muwan was bound to end badly.
"What I mean is..."
Qin Luo raised a finger and smiled. "How about you replace someone and join headquarters, little Bailian?"
Su Bailian: "??!"
Su Muwan: "?!!"
"Me? Join headquarters?!"
"Replace someone?"
So!
"I’m going undercover again?!"
Su Bailian was completely baffled.
The last time she went undercover was at the Song Family, right?
But... the Alliance isn’t a family. How am I supposed to get in?
Most importantly...
"What’s the pay like?"
Qin Luo thought for a moment and said, "You’ve seen how well that simp Wang Yun is doing, right?"
"He’s loaded!"
"So, how do you think you’d compare to him?"
"Ah!"
Su Bailian understood. Her eyes immediately lit up with excitement. "What’s the plan? What’s the plan?"
"It’s simple."
Qin Luo pulled the still-confused Su Muwan over and said, "Miss just needs to deal with Su Bailian as usual."
"As for the rest, little Bailian, you can improvise."
Su Muwan: ??
She was still reeling from the shock of Su Bailian joining the Alliance.
Are you kidding me? The plot in this life is so different from the last one!
Now even Su Bailian can join headquarters?!
But...
"If Qin Luo says so... then let’s do it!"
Su Muwan couldn’t help but smile, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "For some reason, I feel really pumped about this."
"Su Bailian joining will definitely turn headquarters upside down!"
Su Bailian protested, "Waaah, I wouldn’t do that..."
"But..."
She asked curiously, "Who am I replacing?"
"Heh... someone with a similar vibe to you..."
Qin Luo’s eyes revealed a hint of mystery.
The Divine Charm System...
Let’s see how good you really are.
