The way she's been looking at me these past few days seems off, not sure what kind of trick she's plotting.

Alright...

Alright my ass.

Su Qi hadn't even been happy for thirty seconds before she started up again.

[I Want to Sleep: But I have a younger sister, mentioned her before right?]

[I Want to Sleep: She keeps calling me "sister-in-law" nonstop, it's so awkward.]

[I Want to Sleep: Little Iris, don’t you think she’s being a bit ungrateful?]

Liu Yuan: ???

Was she the one calling you that nonstop?

Weren’t you the one clinging to "sister-in-law" this and "sister-in-law" that?

[Iris: Maybe... maybe she’s just not that bright?]

[I Want to Sleep: Lately, she’s been giving me weird looks too. Who knows what schemes she’s plotting.]

Liu Yuan: ???

[I Want to Sleep: And she keeps wearing all kinds of weird outfits around me...]

[I Want to Sleep: Don’t you think she’s being shameless? Doesn’t she know siblings should keep some distance?]

Liu Yuan: ...

[Iris: Maybe... maybe it’s a misunderstanding? She might just be trying on pretty dresses and forgot to be cautious.]

[I Want to Sleep: No misunderstanding here. I saw right through it.]

[I Want to Sleep: Whatever, I’ll just keep my distance. Wouldn’t want Little Iris to misunderstand.]

[Iris: No!]

[I Want to Sleep: Huh?]

[Iris: Uh... I mean... if you ignore her, what if she... uh... acts even more ungrateful?]

[I Want to Sleep: Good point. Then I’ll play along, pretend to be completely smitten while countering her moves. Trust me, Little Iris, even if I’m stuffing my face with ice cream, it’s just an act. Not like I actually want to.]

[I Want to Sleep: So, Little Iris, do you think I’m doing the right thing? If not, I’ll just stay away and not even look at her.]

[Iris: Yes!]

[I Want to Sleep: So you won’t get mad if I’m stuffing my face with ice cream?]

[Iris: Of course not!]

[I Want to Sleep: I’ll always love Little Iris.]

[Iris: I’ll always love you too, big brother.]

[Delight +9999]

...

Liu Yuan didn’t get it.

Why was Su Qi, this absolute jerk, allowed to attack her like this while she had to praise him for it?

But then again... he did say he’d always love her!

And he was willing to share his day with her—maybe he really didn’t have any weird thoughts about Yun Huang?

As for that "shameless little sister" he mentioned?

Wasn’t that just her?

No matter which option Su Qi picked, it’d still be her in the end.

Was there really a need to nitpick?

Lost in thought, she finally snapped out of her pouting state—only to hear Yun Huang’s icy voice cut through the air:

"Everyone, out of the car."

Su Qi immediately raised his head. "We here already?"

Liu Yuan also glanced around. "That fast?"

The two had been too busy bickering to notice the road.

Yun Huang clarified, "Not yet."

Su Qi frowned. "Then why get out?"

Yun Huang’s expression darkened as she stared ahead. "We might have a serious problem on our hands..."

Su Qi exchanged a look with Liu Yuan, and both saw wariness in each other’s eyes.

Cautiously, they stepped out of the car.

What kind of plot was this?

Rich young mistress ambushed during a drive?

How cliché could you get in this day and age?

Then Yun Huang got out too.

Finally, Su Qi saw the situation.

Oh, was that all?

Just a traffic officer blocking the road.

Su Qi’s face suddenly paled.

Traffic officer?

Now he remembered!

Last time they came here, he was the one driving.

Yun Huang had said, "I don’t have a license. You drive."

The officer reached out to Yun Huang. "You were speeding. License, please."

Su Qi tried to cut in—but he was too late.

Yun Huang answered bluntly, "I don’t have one."

The officer, who had looked bored and weary just moments ago, suddenly perked up.

"Fine of 2000. Seven days in detention."

In contrast, Yun Huang’s expression turned murderous.

Like she was about to draw her sword and slaughter someone right there.

Su Qi: ???

Are you kidding me?

This is how the plot unfolds?

You pull off a miracle teamfight while losing hard, only to find out a minion took your base?

How desperate are you for a promotion, buddy?

Let’s be real—most people wouldn’t even dare stop a sports car with this kind of plate.

You got a death wish?

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Su Qi quickly stepped between them, shielding Yun Huang from the officer.

He swore this was the hardest woman he’d ever had to talk down.

First, he soothed Yun Huang. "Let me handle this."

Yun Huang looked lost. "I was too... too excited today. I forgot..."

"Sorry..."

Well, last time it was just four hours, and they had surveillance.

Yun Huang could stay calm then.

But this time? No surveillance, a full seven days of freedom.

She probably stomped the gas pedal the second they left, too hyped to remember her own name.

Understandable.

Su Qi turned to the officer. "Come on, cut us some slack."

The officer wasn’t having it. "Who’s ‘us’? I’d love to, but the Great Xia Law won’t."

"No, no, we’ll follow the law. We’ll pay the maximum fine, and you can revoke the owner’s license. Just skip the detention for my friend."

Su Qi’s approach was flawless.

Detention depended on severity, and the car’s owner was Yun Ting.

Realistically, Yun Huang’s reflexes and coordination meant she could drive perfectly fine without a license.

Better than most drivers, honestly.

Fast and smooth.

Not exactly a serious offense.

But then the officer heard a voice whisper in his ear—some kind of covert transmission:

"Keep stalling Yun Huang. Big reward if you do. We’re almost set up."

His response?

"No. Seven days in detention. No exceptions."
