Chapter 49: Two Requests
Yun Qin couldn’t help but laugh after sensing some of Grandpa Song’s thoughts. Old Master Song wanted her to be his granddaughter-in-law, but he didn’t know that she already set her sights on his precious grandson, Song Yin. Moreover, she was pregnant with his great-grandson.
Although she was overjoyed, Yun Qin maintained a calm expression on her face and said, “I don’t ask for money or wealth. I only hope that Grandpa Song can satisfy two requests.”
“Okay, tell me. If I can do it, I will fulfill it.”
Hearing Yun Qin’s words, Grandpa Song’s eyes were filled with admiration.
“First, I hope that Grandpa Song won’t tell anyone about what happened today. You must keep it a secret.”
She did this to avoid any unnecessary complications. After all, she understood the principle that “it can be dangerous to hold onto treasures”. Then, she said, “Second, I hope that in the future, when I am in the Song family, Grandpa Song can protect me a little.”
“Oh? What does that mean?”
Grandpa Song was a little confused. What did she mean by “when I am in the Song family”?
Hearing the old man’s question, Yun Qin only smiled and looked at Grandpa Song with her crescent moon-shaped eyes.
“Okay, everyone in the old mansion is trustworthy. I won’t tell anyone, including the rest of the Song family. Don’t worry, young lady. I will treat you as my granddaughter in the future.”
Yun Qin nodded. She realized that Grandpa Song still had a lot of things to deal with and could not stay for long, so she took the opportunity to leave.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would faint at the Song family mansion.
Butler Shen escorted Yun Qin to her car. When Yun Qin was about to open the car door and say goodbye, butler Shen took a step back and bowed to Yun Qin. “Miss Yun, I am grateful to you.”
Yun Qin quickly helped him up and said humbly, “Mister Shen, I can’t accept your courtesy. This is what I do.”
Butler Shen did not say anything else. He smiled at her in a friendly manner and watched Yun Qin leave.
When Yun Qin returned home, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on her bed.
When she woke up, she felt that all the fatigue in her body disappeared. She felt comfortable all over, but her body was smelly. She smelled as if she rolled in a garbage heap.
Yun Qin picked up her phone and was surprised to find that it was already the following morning.
In other words, she slept for more than 20 hours?
Ignoring the countless missed calls and messages, Yun Qin got out of bed and rushed to take a shower.
When Yun Qin came downstairs with her wet hair, she saw Yun Zhao eating breakfast and reading the newspaper.
Seeing Yun Qin, Yun Zhao was still a little surprised. He asked curiously, “Xiao Qin, where did you go yesterday? You slept all day!”
Yun Qin sat beside him and picked up a piece of bread. She stuck out her tongue and said, “Even if I told you, I don’t think dad would believe me.”
Now that she had so many pending ghost-hunting missions, she could not hide her abilities from her family. She might as well just confess to them.
“Tell me. I’m very curious.”
“I went ghost hunting.”
Hearing Yun Qin say such ridiculous words in a serious tone, Yun Zhao could not help but laugh. He thought that his daughter was joking, so he replied very cooperatively, “Then may I ask what kind of ghosts did Master Yun catch?”
“There are a lot of them. Most of them are small weak ghosts. It’s not easy to describe their types. There were some hanging ghosts, fire ghosts…”
Yun Qin was recalling the incident from last night when she turned her head and saw Yun Zhao trying to suppress his laughter. Her “Insight” ability immediately told her what Yun Zhao was thinking, and Yun Qin immediately felt helpless.
“It’s true, Dad. I’m not joking.”
“Of course not.”
Seeing that Yun Zhao’s inner thoughts turned into praising her daughter’s cute playfulness, Yun Qin was completely helpless.
Alright, next time I’ll show Yun Zhao the greedy ghost and maybe then he will believe me.
Fortunately, Yun Zhao was a very open-minded parent. Even if he thought that Yun Qin’s explanation was a joke, he did not continue to ask about Yun Qin’s whereabouts over the past few days. Instead, he retained his full trust and respect for Yun Qin.
After eating breakfast, Yun Zhao stood up with the newspaper in his hands and said to Yun Qin, “There are still some things in the company that I need to take care of. I’m heading to work. Xiao Qin, if you encounter anything, you must tell daddy.”
Looking at her father, whose hair was already turning white, Yun Qin felt a little sad. She nodded obediently and said, “I will.”
After Yun Zhao left, Yun Qin looked at her palm and could not help but laugh when she saw that she had less than a week to live.
She was not an emissary who was responsible for eliminating evil energy in the world, but a brat who worked for Hades, right?
At the breakfast table, Yun Qin was looking through all her unread messages.
Some were just gossips, some were from her classmates asking why she wasn’t in class, some were from Yun Qin’s admirers who were inquiring about her well-being.
