The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

F{h*F5)$LjChapter 292: In the Identity of Cang Xue@@novelbin@@

Ye Jinwen couldn’t help but think that if Qimo knew Little Mianmian was delivering food to someone else, he’d surely be drowning in jealousy, profoundly and utterly.

However, it was a bit odd for Little Mianmian to say something like that.

She was always fearless, usually leaving Qimo questioning his life choices after a confrontation, so why was she suddenly being so secretive?

Lu Mian tilted her head, her big eyes blinking earnestly with an intimidating sincerity as she said, “Just pretend I don’t want to write another self-criticism.” After all, she didn’t really want Xiao Qimo to find out.

Ye Jinwen: “…”

Your ‘self-criticism’ that consists of just three big characters dares to call itself a self-criticism?

“Ye brother, is that okay?” the girl asked again.

Every “Ye brother” called out by her mingled joy with sorrow in Ye Jinwen’s heart. He looked at Lu Mian’s exquisite features and her bottomless, cool gaze, where angels and demons seemed to play their parts at the same time.

Under the girl’s intense gaze, right in front of Lu Mian, he slowly deleted the text message he had edited, one character at a time.

For the sake of world peace, there was nothing he couldn’t do!

Lu Mian gave him a friendly and gentle smile, “Let’s go, let’s go back and eat some pomegranates.”

Yeah, you should really eat more pomegranates!

Ye Jinwen murmured inwardly and followed Lu Mian’s steps: “Little Mianmian, if you ever encounter medical difficulties again, like finding a bed in a hospital, consulting a chief physician, or someone has a complicated illness, you can come to me! There’s nothing your brother can’t solve!”

“Oh, actually there is something.” Lu Mian paused in her steps, turning her head to seriously consult him: “Ye brother, do you have a way to make a surgeon with psychological trauma pick up the scalpel again?”

“…”

Ye Jinwen’s playful and smiling baby face froze. His smile at the corners of his mouth couldn’t fade fast enough, and finally, after moving his lips mechanically, he spat out a sentence in a low voice.

“Girl, your words are really too harsh.”

“…”

Lu Mian narrowed her eyes, puzzled. What had she said that upset him?

Is this the level of psychological resilience a psychiatrist has?

——

When Lu Mian got home, there was an additional jar with a pomegranate in it at the door.

The transparent, pale pink pomegranate seeds lay quietly inside, and she remembered how sweet and juicy the pomegranate Qimo had peeled for her the first time was.

With a smile contained in the corners of her mouth, she happily picked up the jar and entered the house.

Just after she opened it and ate a few seeds, she received a call from Ya Ling.

This was something she expected; that lively sister Ya Ling would of course be on Weibo.

“Mian brother~~”

The vibrant and energetic voice of Ya Ling came through the receiver.

Lu Mian turned on the speakerphone, relaxed with her legs crossed, eating pomegranate seeds while chatting with Ya Ling on the phone.

“Mian brother, let me get straight to the point. First, the stock investor group has been entirely replaced and member information verified. This way, we won’t have to worry about reports or harassment by malicious individuals, and you can post messages again.”

“Okay.”

“Second, record an audio message in your spare time tonight, wishing the students a happy New Year and a prosperous new one, just a few casual words will do,” Ya Ling emphasized after giving the instructions, “as Cang Xue.”

“Oh.” Lu Mian nodded obediently, bursting a pomegranate seed between her teeth.

The sweet and refreshing juice spilled between her lips and teeth.

“Third, I’ve seen on Weibo that the Bai Family has already apologized, and the heat has died down. We don’t need to take any action anymore, right?”

“No need.”

Lu Mian was quite relieved.

Having Ya Ling beside her, was like having a sisterly butler. She managed some of Lu Mian’s affairs, which also included dealing with Yuanyuan’s publishing and cooperation negotiations on her behalf.

Her and Sui Yuan’s troubles were lessened, aside from those matters that required personal attention.

At that thought, a cold glint flashed through Lu Mian’s eyes.
