Chapter 45: Ran Into Each Other At The Auction

She raised her hand to knock twice on the door.

The woman and the dog in the house looked up at the same time.

“…Hello, who are you looking for?”

Gu Shinian stood up, feeling awkward.

She could not be blamed. Qin Yishen exuded a powerful aura. She could not match Qin Muchen.

“Hello.”

Qin Yishen said her greetings gently, “I am Qin Yishen.”

Oh, such a coincidence. She had the surname of Qin as well.

“Qin Muchen’s elder sister.”

True enough, there weren’t that many coincidences.

“Oh, hello.” Gu Shinian felt even more uncomfortable.

So she was Qin Muchen’s elder sister.

She was in her pajamas and she was in Qin Muchen’s bedroom. Everyone would let their imagination run wild at the sight of her.

Gu Shinian intended to be preemptive to blur the focus. “D-don’t misunderstand. Qin Muchen and I… no, Young Master Mu and I are not what you think we are. I- I am only a helper here!”

“My clothes are wet, therefore I changed into pajamas.”

Qin Yishen stared at her, at a loss for words.

How could she sound that sincere even when she came up with such lame excuses.

“My brother’s taste in women is… peculiar.” She muttered softly before she smiled widely, waving her hands. “It’s alright. It’s common for helpers to be involved with the young master. Don’t be ceremonious. You can do anything to my brother.”

Gu Shinian felt exasperated.

Was she his biological sister? Or was she picked up from somewhere else?

Qin Yishen grabbed her, behaving as if they were very close to each other. “Be good, let me bring you somewhere.”

“…W-where?”

Gu Shinian stiffened uncomfortably.

Qin Yishen blinked, acting naughty and bubbly. “There is this person that I couldn’t stand the sight of but I can’t do anything to her, therefore, you must help me to get back at her.”

“…Me?” Gu Shinian widened her eyes, pointing to herself before she shook her head vehemently. “No, I can’t go out.”

Qin Muchen had grounded her.
