The Man Who Listens

When Qin Qinghan saw that Ye Fengwu had safely brought Jing Si home, Night Wind felt relieved. However, her tired and complex expression made Night Wind feel uneasy.

He hurried forward to help Qin Qinghan take off her coat and put her slippers at her feet.

His gentle actions gave off the feeling of a caring spouse.

Qin Qinghan felt somewhat embarrassed, but she didn't know how to refuse.

Meanwhile, Yang Shuxi watched this and felt a hint of jealousy. Brother-in-law is so gentle with cousin; it's hard to imagine he's the domineering man who killed dozens of people.

Facing Night Wind's sudden gentleness, a blush also appeared on Qin Qinghan's gorgeous face, but her heart was even more complicated.

She didn't dare imagine that if her guess was correct, He Village was a scam, and the one manipulating everything behind the scenes was him.

Then...he was most likely Jing Si's biological father, the man who had almost ruined her.

But Qin Qinghan couldn't be 100% certain. What if this was all just a coincidence?

Thinking of this, Qin Qinghan's mind was a tangled mess. No matter how much she agonized over it, she regretted going to He Village, because any outcome wasn't what she wanted to see.

She didn't want to look at Night Wind's expression. Instead, she said to Yang Shuxi: "Shuxi, when does school start?"

Only then did Yang Shuxi come back to her senses. She quickly said, "Wednesday next week. I'll be staying here with you these few days, cousin won't dislike me interrupting your family of three's life right."

Yang Shuxi's tone clearly had a joking element, but her eyes contained a faint bitterness.

Qin Qinghan helplessly shook her head. She knew this cousin liked joking around with her. So she gently said, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Yang Shuxi's eyes lit up as she laughed, "Anything is fine, cousin you know I love eating the food you make the most."

Only then did Qin Qinghan look towards Night Wind at the side. Her eyes contained a complicated expression as she said, "Thank you for taking Jing Si out to play."

Night Wind smiled, "Jing Si is my daughter, it's only right that I take her out to play."

Jing Si also came running to Qin Qinghan and said, "Mom, uncle fought with the tiger today!"

"What?" Qin Qinghan's expression changed. A complicated look flashed in her eyes as she involuntarily looked towards Night Wind.

Yang Shuxi quickly explained, "Brother-in-law did it to save me, so he had to jump into the tiger enclosure to fight the tiger. But brother-in-law is so awesome, he even beat the tiger away."

After that, Yang Shuxi told Qin Qinghan everything that happened today.

Qin Qinghan had a look of lingering fear in her eyes. She anxiously said to Night Wind, "You...how could you be so impulsive!"

Qin Qinghan's tone contained deep concern, but this concern was out of fear for Night Wind and Yang Shuxi's safety.

Night Wind awkwardly scratched his head and laughed, "I couldn't just let the tiger eat Shuxi right, otherwise you'd blame me for life."

Qin Qinghan was still somewhat afraid inside. She didn't even realize that she was so worried about Night Wind.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Qin Qinghan, which was the strange way her cousin looked at Night Wind.

Originally, she had been worried they wouldn't get along well. After all, her cousin had seen him kill someone and kidnap Luo Yihuaung on the train.

Everything today was so strange. Qin Qinghan felt more and more tired.

She went out to buy groceries and made an abundant dinner.

At 10pm, Qin Qinghan and Yang Shuxi took a bath one after another, then returned to the bedroom.

As for Night Wind, he entered the bathroom after the two women. The rich scent of soap floated out.

After changing into loose clothes, Night Wind pushed open Qin Qinghan's door. It was time to sleep.

At this time, Qin Qinghan and Yang Shuxi were lying on the bed chatting. Seeing Night Wind, Qin Qinghan awkwardly said, "Why don't...you sleep in my parents' room."

Hearing this, Night Wind's expression clearly fell. He glanced at Yang Shuxi and said, "Actually, your cousin could also sleep in your parents' room."

Night Wind's words left Qin Qinghan at a complete loss for words. She could only sigh inwardly that this man had such thick skin. Couldn't he tell that she didn't want him sleeping here?

Yang Shuxi also felt somewhat awkward. She laughed, "Cousin, I'll go sleep in auntie's room."

Qin Qinghan pursed her lips and lowered her head, "Us sisters have a lot to chat about, just bear with it for a few days."

Hearing this, Night Wind's expression immediately darkened. He was very unhappy that because of a little girl, he had lost the foldout bed he had willingly offered to sleep on.

So Night Wind developed quite a prejudice against Yang Shuxi. He gloomily turned and left.

But he was even more worried about Qin Qinghan's tone. She was clearly colder to him again. Could it be that she had noticed some problem at He Village? That shouldn't be. A meticulous person like Xiao Ying...

Watching Night Wind leave dejectedly, Yang Shuxi almost laughed out loud. She chuckled in Qin Qinghan's ear, "Cousin, brother-in-law is so obedient, how do you train him?"

Qin Qinghan felt bitter inside. How could she control him when she was so nervous every time she spoke to him.

Just then, Jing Si poked her little head out from under the quilt and laughed, "Actually, uncle is quite afraid of mom. He's worried about making mom angry."

Hearing this, Qin Qinghan's mood became even more complicated.

Yang Shuxi enviously said, "Usually, a man being afraid of his wife isn't because he's actually afraid, but because he cares about his woman."

"How many of those men who are always yelling at their wives have any decency."

Although young, Yang Shuxi's words made sense. If a man can't even respect his own woman, what moral baseline does he have that's worth examining.

From ancient times until now, beating and scolding one's wife has never been honorable, but is actually a show of incompetence.

...

The next morning, Qin Qinghan made breakfast very early.

When Night Wind, Yang Shuxi and Jing Si were getting washed up, she had already returned to the bedroom to make the beds.

As she was making Night Wind's bed, she suddenly noticed a strand of hair on the pillow.

She couldn't help picking up the hair and falling into contemplation.

She did have a fleeting thought to do a DNA test for Jing Si and Night Wind to determine if they were blood related.

But very quickly, she abandoned this idea. Hair can be used for DNA testing, but it needs to have the hair follicle, and at least 4-5 strands.

She couldn't very well ask him for some, much less pluck his hair herself.

"What exactly am I doing? Hasn't he already given me enough, why am I still being so distrustful of him?"

Qin Qinghan sat by the bedside, whispering to herself in self-mockery. Perhaps everything in He Village was just her being too sensitive.

After that, she threw the hair into the trash can before leaving the bedroom.

After breakfast, Qin Qinghan took Jing Si and Yang Shuxi shopping at the mall.

Night Wind directly drove the Ferrari given by Jiang Hao to the 5-star hotel where Lin Qiang and the other two were staying.

The one who opened the door was Liu Hui. Seeing Night Wind, he looked as if he had seen a savior. He sneakily glanced at the one closed bedroom door, before turning to Night Wind with a bitter expression, "Instructor, hurry and get rid of this madam."
