Let's ignore him for now. I'll find some time to go to the Lower Three Realms and see exactly what kind of person he is. Right now, our own business is more important.
After saying that, Qin Hao picked up Shen Suning and returned to his courtyard.
...
The next day, Qin Hao was glowing with vitality. He looked in the mirror at his handsome face and couldn't help but sigh,
I've gotten a little more handsome again today.
After finishing his narcissistic moment, Qin Hao left his home and headed toward Qin Kexin's residence.
Qin Kexin's residence.
Inside her room, it was a complete mess.
The bed was piled high with all sorts of clothes, seven or eight pairs of shoes were scattered across the floor, and the dressing table was crammed full of various bottles and jars. There was hardly any room left to step in the entire room.
Qin Kexin stood in front of the mirror holding two dresses, her brows furrowed so tightly they could crush a fly.
This one... is too plain. Will it make me look lifeless?
She held up a light cyan long dress against herself, shook her head, and tossed it aside. Immediately after, she picked up another pink one.
Is this one... too childish? Will Qin Hao laugh at me?
Toss!
She picked up a bright red one.
This one is too flashy. It doesn't seem to suit my vibe...
Toss.
Qin Kexin frantically ruffled her hair.
Ahhh! Which one should I wear?!
Xiaolan stood to the side, looking at the mess in the room, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably. Miss, oh Miss, this is already the thirty-seventh time you've asked yourself that.
From the morning until now, you've changed into no less than twenty outfits. You haven't kept a single one on for more than fifteen minutes before taking it off and continuing to agonize over it.
Isn't it just Lord Qin Hao coming to see you today? Is there a need to be this serious? It's just a meeting, yet you're making such a huge fuss out of it.
Miss, with your beauty, you would look good even wearing the most ordinary sack. Stop stressing over it.
Qin Kexin pouted and continued rummaging through the pile of clothes.
That won't do. This is my first official date with Qin Hao, and I have to leave a good impression on him.
As she spoke, Qin Kexin's hand brushed against a soft piece of fabric. She pulled it out and saw it was an off-white long dress.
The style was simple and elegant, without any complicated decorations. The fabric was excellent, feeling soft and smooth to the touch, with a faint luster.
Qin Kexin took off the clothes she was wearing and changed into this off-white long dress.
The tailoring of the dress was just right, outlining her slender waist. The hem hung down to her ankles, swaying gently with her movements.
Qin Kexin stood in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection.
The off-white dress made her skin look even fairer. She looked gentle and pure, lacking her usual arrogance and instead gaining a bit of approachability.
She twirled lightly, and the hem of the skirt spread out like flower petals.
Xiaolan watched from the side, her eyes going wide.
Miss, you... you look too beautiful!
Qin Kexin blushed slightly.
Really?
Xiaolan nodded vigorously.
Of course! Although this dress is plain, it perfectly complements your aura. It's gentle and elegant, yet noble. It's much better than those flashy ones.
Hearing Xiaolan say this, Qin Kexin decisively chose this dress. But soon, she found herself troubled again over what accessories to wear.
Just as she was at a loss for what jewelry to pick, the door was pushed open. Qin Hao stood at the doorway, looking at her with a smiling face.
Seeing Qin Hao, Qin Kexin instantly panicked and hurriedly said,
Why are you here already?
Hearing this, Qin Hao raised an eyebrow.
Oh, are you complaining that I came too early? Fine, I'll leave right now.
After saying that, Qin Hao lifted his leg, pretending to leave.
Don't go!
Qin Kexin cried out almost subconsciously, her voice laced with panic and urgency.
She didn't even have time to think before rushing forward and grabbing Qin Hao's sleeve.
Qin Hao stopped, turned to look at her, and wore a wicked smirk on his lips.
Hmm? Didn't you think I came too early?
Qin Kexin lowered her head, her face as red as a cooked shrimp.
I, I didn't mean that. I'm just not ready yet.
Hearing this, Qin Hao grabbed Qin Kexin's small hand.
There's nothing to prepare. Even if you don't dress up at all, you still look incredibly beautiful.
Qin Kexin's face grew even redder. Hearing Qin Hao praise her beauty made her heart feel as sweet as honey.
She secretly glanced up at Qin Hao. The sunlight spilled across his profile, highlighting his handsome features. She found herself liking him more and more, especially that wicked smirk on his lips.
Do I look good? Noticing Qin Kexin's gaze, Qin Hao asked with a smile.
Qin Kexin quickly turned her face away and hurriedly said,
I-I wasn't peeking.
The smile on Qin Hao's face deepened. He tightened his grip on Qin Kexin's small hand. Hmm, so smooth and tender.
Let's go. For the rest of the day, I'll take you out to have some fun.
Qin Hao took Qin Kexin to the Qin family's ranch, where all kinds of spirit beasts were raised.
Qin Hao selected a tall Wind-Chasing Foal, lifted Qin Kexin onto it, and then vaulted up himself, wrapping his arms around her from behind.
The two rode the horse across the prairie. The whistling wind rushed past their ears, and green grass blurred beneath their feet.
Qin Hao rode with Qin Kexin, galloping deep into the prairie.
After riding for a while, a lake appeared before them.
The lake water was crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. It was so beautiful it seemed otherworldly. The lakeside was blooming with colorful wildflowers, and as the breeze blew, waves of floral fragrance filled the air.
This... this is too beautiful. I didn't even know the Qin family had a place like this.
Qin Hao chuckled, After all, you slumbered for so long and only recently woke up. So much time has passed, there are many things in the family you don't know about.
Qin Hao pulled Qin Kexin to sit down by the lake. Do you like it?
Qin Kexin nodded vigorously.
I like it!
Qin Hao looked at her, his gaze gentle.
I'm glad you like it.
The two sat by the lake like that, watching the sun slowly set in the west, dyeing the lake water a golden red.
Although the scenery was beautiful, in Qin Kexin's eyes, even the most beautiful scenery couldn't compare to a ten-thousandth of the person beside her.
Noticing Qin Kexin's gaze, Qin Hao leaned closer to her.
If you want to lean, just lean on me. My shoulder is yours to use.
Hearing this, Qin Kexin's small face flushed red, but she didn't refuse, gently resting her head on his shoulder.
Qin Hao, thank you.
Qin Hao turned his head to look at her. Thank me for what?
A happy smile graced the corners of Qin Kexin's mouth.
Thank you for bursting into my world and letting me know that life can be this beautiful.
Qin Hao reached out and wrapped his arm around Qin Kexin's shoulder.
It is beautiful, isn't it? Every day from now on will be just as beautiful.
At these words, Qin Kexin's eyes immediately lit up.
Really? Does that mean I can become your official partner in the future?
Qin Kexin now understood what the rented Dao companion arrangement was all about. Qin Hao approached her to obtain her luck based on her evaluation after the order ended, and then the relationship between them would be over.
But Qin Hao had just said that every day from now on would be this wonderful. Did this mean she actually had a chance to become his real girlfriend? Even after the order expired, she could still maintain her current relationship with him.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
