The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Only a Demon Could Look Like This

Ah Dai felt a weight on her head and looked up at the man beside her. He looked down at her and said,

“Aunt Xiao is asking you something.”

This meant she needed to introduce herself. Ah Dai’s small hand clung to his clothes, and she turned to look at the woman standing in front of them. Despite her nervousness, she answered earnestly,

“Hello, Aunt Xiao, my name is Su Qingdai.”

The girl’s voice was sweet and gentle, neither servile nor overbearing, just like the first impression she gave—clear and pretty. Xiao Yuyun had also heard some rumors about Qin Yu and her recently.

There were talks that Qin Yu had recently become infatuated with a woman, foolishly indulging in the practice of hiding her away like a cherished possession. Xiao Yuyun had not expected that, upon seeing her face and figure today, she indeed possessed the charm to captivate hearts.

“Hello, I’m Qin Yu’s aunt, Xiao Yuyun.”

Ah Dai’s fair little face lifted into a shallow smile, and her sweet voice was as refreshing as a honey orange, “Aunt Xiao.”

Xiao Yuyun wore a delicate makeup, with gentle and well-proportioned features. She smiled at Ah Dai, “Miss Su, I’d like to have a chat with Qin Yu about some matters. Would that be alright?”

Ah Dai glanced at Qin Yu and noticed he was still quietly watching her, seemingly allowing her to decide. She thought this aunt looked very nice, speaking in such a gentle tone.

Xiao Yuyun looked at Qin Yu after getting the girl’s nod, “May I have a word with you?”

She spoke and then walked towards the hallway in her high heels.

Ah Dai looked up at Qin Yu and said, “You go ahead, I’ll go find Little Pink Bottle and Jade Pot first.”

Without waiting for a response, she ran off herself, an eager anticipation in her steps. Qin Yu watched her cheerful and excited figure with a helpless smile and instructed Long Qi to follow her.

Familiar with the path, Ah Dai hurried to Little Pink Bottle and Jade Pot, only to find that they were both sound asleep, snoring so loudly she could hear it standing beside them. Thankfully, ordinary people couldn’t hear it; otherwise, the snoring of antiques would be terrifying.

It would certainly be a sensational story to hit the trending searches.

“You’re slacking off during work hours?”

Ah Dai leaned in and teased with a smile.

Little Pink Bottle, groggy and sleepy, heard the voice of the little incense burner and opened her eyes in surprise. Wasn’t she standing right beside her?

“You scared me, when did you get here?”

With Little Pink Bottle’s yell, Jade Pot also woke up, yawning and looking half-asleep.

Ah Dai whispered, “Of course, I came over because I missed you guys. Why are you sleeping? Did something happen?”

“Don’t mention it, if only something really did happen. We’re just sleeping because we’re bored, and today there are so few people here it makes us drowsy.”

Little Pink Bottle murmured in a grumbling tone.

Jade Pot said, “Don’t believe its nonsense. Actually, it’s because we chatted too long last night, and we’ve been feeling sleepy this morning. It’s also our own laziness; we haven’t been cultivating diligently for a long time. Now we lack spiritual energy, which makes us listless.”

Ah Dai expressed concern, “Can you cultivate here? Aren’t you unable to absorb spiritual energy?”

The more crowded a place is, the scarcer the spiritual energy gets. Spirits retreat into deep mountains to cultivate. Little Pink Bottle and Jade Pot were different from her; she could gradually draw strength from the incense burner, whereas they had to rely on natural spiritual energy like ordinary spirits.

“It’s alright, though a little less, it’s still sufficient,” Jade Pot said with a smile. “Don’t worry about us; we’re doing very well here. Did you come here for something specific this time?”

Ah Dai said, “Nothing much, I just came with Qin Yu this time.”

“Is it the man who let you out of the incense burner?”

Ah Da nodded.

Little Pink Bottle excitedly shouted, “Wow, wow, wow, is the true face of Lu Mountain finally going to be revealed? How did you think of bringing him here? Isn’t this just like the legendary meeting the parents? I said that you liked him too, and last time you wouldn’t admit it.”

Upon hearing this, Ah Da suddenly thought of Qin Yu and blushed without rebutting. Her relationship with Qin Yu had been growing closer and closer; there was nothing really to object to. Whether she was captivated by his looks or driven by other emotions, she truly enjoyed following him.

She wanted to stay with him, willing to accept his kisses.

Jade Pot looked at Ah Da and shook her head with a sigh, “When we said that man liked you, we didn’t expect you to fall for him too. Isn’t it too soon? Is he really that good?”

Ah Da hesitated for a long while and said in a low, embarrassed voice, “He’s really nice. I suppose it’s liking, but I don’t quite understand.”

Hearing this, Little Pink Bottle said to Jade Pot, “We’ve forgotten she’s clueless about emotions. We must vet this for her, otherwise, if she encounters a scumbag, who knows how much she’ll cry in the future.”

Jade Pot agreed, the little incense burner was naive and didn’t understand the wickedness of human hearts. Who knows what kind of grievances she might suffer in the future.

“Little incense burner, where’s your Qin Yu? Where is he? Since he’s here, we might as well help you check him out.”

Ah Da explained, “I just ran into his Aunt Xiao, who said she had something to discuss with him. He should be over soon.”

Jade Pot and Little Pink Bottle showed understanding, and Ah Da eagerly continued to chat with them, and about Bronze Sword’s recent situation.

Long Jiu and Long Qi stood not far away, looking at the little girl with braided pigtails talking to herself in front of two antiques. Long Qi was calm, but Long Jiu’s frown grew tighter, and his gaze became increasingly strange, as if he were witnessing some spectacle.

“What’s with that look? Be careful, or Third Young Master might see.”

Long Qi kindly reminded him.

Long Jiu’s expression became serious, “Don’t you think she’s too strange? Not just her speech and behavior, but her appearance is also eerily beautiful.”

Maybe only a demon could look like that. Long Jiu felt that he, an atheist, was also touched by the supernatural.

“Stop trembling, even if she’s a demon, so what? Demons can’t be good or bad? Even if Su Qingdai has some issues, it’s not your place to worry. Sometimes, I feel only someone like her is worthy of Third Young Master, after all, he’s not an ordinary person himself.”

From a little girl to a little demoness, Long Jiu took a deep breath, “I might need some time to accept this.”

Long Qi laughed and patted his shoulder, scoffing at his lack of exposure.

On the other side.

Xiao Yuyun walked to the back door of the museum, stood in front of the window, and looked at the intersecting roads outside and the endless stream of traffic.

Only when Qin Yu came to her side did she slowly start speaking, “I heard it was you who personally approved Qin Xiu to manage the Asia-Pacific Region. Have you forgotten what happened back then?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu’s eyes held a thin layer of shallow frost, “I am just going with the flow. If they want to go, let them. Does Aunt Xiao want to get involved with Qin too?”

Xiao Yuyun turned her head to look at him, sneering, “I have no interest in the Qin family, even less so in the Qin Family.”
