"What are you guys talking about?"

Nalan Ye Jue coughed and gave Lu Yi an annoyed glare.

Lu Yi, lost in excitement, failed to catch Mr. Emperor’s warning look for the first time. He was still happily asking Qin Xin about the plot of "Starry River and You": "Is the main female character really not their biological child? Earlier when the interstellar fleet checked the DNA records, both her parents were supposed to be her real parents, so how could this happen, like a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs..."

Qin Xin was silent for a moment.

Indeed, a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs.

When she wrote this part of the plot, her feelings were indescribably complex.

Since the collapse of the Imperial University building, Mrs. Qin hadn’t called once.

At this moment, if Mrs. Qin had shown her a bit of concern, she would have been willing to believe that her previous actions were just because she was too doting on Qin Wenrou.

But no.

Mrs. Qin was nowhere to be found.

Maybe the Qin Family sold a few small companies again, raised some money, and didn’t need to ask for her help anymore, haha.

Qin Xin took a deep breath and calmly said to Lu Yi, "Real life is much more exciting than novels, it’s just that you haven’t experienced it."

Lu Yi nodded, "Exactly, I’ve never encountered something like that even after all these years of working. My mom still calls me every week to check if I’ve lost any weight or if I’ve worn too little clothing, and every month she sends me homemade sesame sugar balls saying they’ll help my hair grow..."

Lu Yi touched his non-balding head, feeling rather melancholic—his mom really didn’t trust his kidney function.

Qin Xin: "..."

Could you stop showing off your family love and stabbing my heart?

Nalan Ye Jue saw the two getting more enthusiastic, almost treating him as if he were invisible.

Did they think he hadn’t read the novel "Starry River"?

Ever since he learned that Xinghe was Qin Xin’s pen name, he had read her book over three times.

How come he wasn’t aware of the content they were discussing?

"Does the female protagonist have a father?"

He casually interjected.

Qin Xin: "..."

Lu Yi quickly replied, "Of course she has."

Nalan Ye Jue: "Isn’t her mother a widow?"

Lu Yi: "That was in the second season. Now the third season is being serialized online, and this is a new character in the third season."

Lu Yi offhandedly explained before eagerly pestering Qin Xin again, "Miss Qin, according to what you just said, in the new Chapter, the suspense is that the heroine’s father is the villain’s big BOSS. What do you think his next move will be..."

Qin Xin: "All sorts of ultimate moves, destructive ones."

Lu Yi excitedly said, "I think Xinghe must think the same. His setups are always so bold, he definitely won’t resort to trivial skirmishes. No, to be precise, he likes to suddenly hit us with something big in seemingly mundane narratives! Just to shock us! Oh, I just love this style of his..."

Lu Yi’s image of a devoted fan was vivid.

His expression was indeed hard to conceal.

Nalan Ye Jue’s face darkened: "..."

It was bad enough they were ignoring him, but now they dared to love his woman?

And the key point was, he didn’t even know Xinghe had started publishing the third season online, despite sleeping in the same bed with her every day.

Nalan Ye Jue could no longer bear it.

He calmly said, "Lu Yi, make sure you’re not late for your shift today."

Lu Yi was startled, "Young Master, I... I’m not on duty today, I’ll take Miss Qin to school first, then take you back to the company..."

Nalan Ye Jue: "You might have forgotten, you’re on inspection duty at the factory today."
