1780 Walked Right Into You Having An Affair
Hexin was reminded of her trip with Long Yin the next day and instantly felt unhappy.

If she was not able to change anything, she would…

She gave this some thought and turned around to say, “By the way, Mother, you should inform Uncle and Aunt about this and ask them to let Youyou come with me. It’s more fun with more people around.”

Yuan Xin did not even give this a second thought and nodded in agreement. “I’ll inform them about it shortly.”
Hexin was secretly relieved. With more people around, she did not need to be alone with Long Yin.

She returned to her courtyard, planning to have a rest before packing up for the trip. However, she had just stepped into her room when she saw that rascal, He’an, lying blatantly on her bed, fast asleep.

Hexin clenched her teeth at the memory of what that rascal had done earlier in the day. She tip-toed toward him, but before she could pull his ear, he suddenly sat up without warning.

“Aren’t you asleep?” Hexin was taken aback.

“I was just resting my eyes. Who said I was asleep?” He’an sat cross-legged on the bed and snuck her a glance from the side of his eye. “Lucky for me that I wasn’t asleep, or I would have to endure a sneak attack from you.”

Hexin said with slight embarrassment, “Did you do anything bad? Why would you be worried about a sneak attack otherwise?”

He’an leaned his chin on his palm and said with a sigh, “Well, I walked into you and Big Bro Long Yin having an affair. It’s only normal that you would want me silenced.”

Hexin, “…”

When she realized what he just said, Hexin blushed. “Beitang He’an, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“I’m telling the truth. Something is going on between you and Big Bro Long Yin,” He’an said nonchalantly. “Even so, I’m willing to give you a chance to buy my silence.” He put out his hand while he spoke and the blunt way he was acting made Hexin so mad that her face turned pale.

“Are you trying to extort money from me?” She sneered.

“It’s a silence fee.” He’an corrected her. “I’m not asking for much. Just give me a token. That way, I’ll make sure to keep my mouth shut after accepting your money. Otherwise, I fear I might accidentally say something and you’ll get into trouble if Father and Mother heard about it.” He pretended to look concerned for her.

Hexin sat down on a chair. “I don’t have any money. Just go ahead and tell them everything if you want to. I’m fine with it. There is nothing between me and Big Bro Long Yin, anyway. Let’s see if Father and Mother would believe you or me.”

He’an immediately lost interest when he heard this.

When did his older sister suddenly learn to be so calm?

She was not that way when facing Big Bro Long Yin before.

When He’an saw that she was not budging and looked unbothered, he finally stood up and made a show of walking out. “You’re right. I’ll tell Father and Mother about it right now and see who would they believe.”

As she watched him about to leave the room, Hexin finally caved. “Come back.”

He’an immediately turned back and reached out his hand to her with a wide smile.

Hexin flung a bag of money into his hand. “If Father and Mother even hear a whiff of this, I’ll hold you responsible.”

“Not to worry. This money is meant to clear all sorts of trouble. I’ll keep my mouth tightly shut.” He’an promised.

Hexin felt a headache coming on as she watched her younger brother slip off. How did she end up with a brother who had such unorthodox methods?

What she did not know was that He’an was currently holding a painting she had drawn and was secretly heading to the coaching inn to see Long Yin.

“Big Bro Long Yin, come and see what I’ve brought to you.” He ran excitedly toward Long Yin.

Long Yin looked at him in slight surprise. “What are you doing here?”

He’an took the painting out from his pocket and said with a chuckle, “I’m here to deliver a painting to you to prove that I wasn’t lying. My sister drew this. Have a look.”
