Just moments ago when he went in to take a shower,
Auntie Qimeng wasn’t dressed like this!
How come the moment he stepped out…
Had she made up her mind?
They weren’t at home, and there were no outsiders around.
Had she completely let go of her reservations?
Chen Qimeng sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, not daring to move a muscle.
Even the slightest shift might change the atmosphere of the moment.
Why wasn’t Xiao Yu saying anything?
Was he waiting for her to speak first?
But she had no experience—how would she know what to say at a time like this?
From what she’d seen on TV, usually… wasn’t it the man who took the initiative?
She…
No!
There was still something important she hadn’t done yet!
She’d almost forgotten the real matter at hand because of how nervous she was.
"Xiao Yu, could you come here for a moment…?"
Chen Qimeng lowered her head immediately after speaking, her face burning.
How stupid of her!
Saying something like this now only made things even more awkward!
Lin Yu: "!!!"
At this point, forget just asking him to come over.
She could’ve told him to lie down right then and there, and he wouldn’t have hesitated!
Whether in his past life or this one,
Lin Yu was a man who had seen all kinds of "grand scenes."
Yet here he was—
Feeling nervous over something that should’ve been effortless!
He knew the reason all too well…
Because the person before him was the biggest regret of his previous life!
Today,
He finally had the chance to mend that regret—how could he not be tense?
No!
Not just mend—he was going to fill it completely!
"Okay."
Lin Yu responded, quickly hanging up the towel in his hand.
Keeping his posture straight under the bath towel, he walked over to Auntie Qimeng.
When she’d made that "bold" request for him to come closer, Chen Qimeng hadn’t been observant enough.
But now, as Xiao Yu stood right in front of her, she looked up—and immediately noticed something… unusual.
Her face flushed crimson, and she quickly averted her gaze, pretending she hadn’t seen anything.
But pretending was useless.
Lin Yu heard it loud and clear—
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! The Saint’s natural enthusiasm has sent his Dao Companion’s heart racing, her mind overflowing with wild thoughts!]
[Reward: 100 Spirit Stones.]
Chen Qimeng: "!!!"
Stay calm, she had to stay calm.
Not yet.
There was still unfinished business.
If she couldn’t get past this last hurdle, she wouldn’t be able to fulfill what she’d entrusted to him.
Avoiding Lin Yu’s scorching gaze,
Chen Qimeng took a deep breath, steadying herself as she stood up and reached for the bag on the nightstand.
This was the bag she’d specifically asked Lin Yu to bring for her.
Lin Yu followed her movements, finally realizing—
So, asking him to come over wasn’t because Auntie had grown bolder after all!
Seemed like he’d have to uncover the "mystery" inside that bag before things could progress further.
But with time, place, and person all aligned,
Lin Yu wasn’t worried that Auntie Qimeng would run.
She probably knew it too—there was no escaping now!
The bag didn’t hold much—just one item.
When Chen Qimeng pulled it out,
Lin Yu’s earlier suspicions were confirmed.
It was a thin booklet.
A red booklet!
On it was written…
[Property Ownership Certificate of the People’s Republic of China]!
(After 2015, the cover was changed to "Real Estate Ownership Certificate.")
In other words—the deed to a house!
The reason he’d guessed it earlier was simple.
When he first saw Auntie’s [Twin Vows of Dao Union: Sect Entrustment] quest,
He’d already considered what it might represent.
Their "sect," of course, referred to the shared apartment they lived in now.
"Entrustment" meant handing over the "sect" to Lin Yu.
Before claiming her person, he had to claim her property first!
Only a quest as shrewd as this
Could appear on someone like Auntie Qimeng.
Playing along, Lin Yu feigned confusion as he eyed the deed and asked:
"Qimeng, is this the deed to the apartment?"
"You brought this with you today?"
"What… are you planning to do with it?"
Chen Qimeng took another deep breath, mustering her courage:
"Xiao Yu, I want… to transfer the apartment to your name!"
As someone who’d take the advantage and still play innocent,
Lin Yu couldn’t act too composed.
He widened his eyes, pretending to be stunned:
"Huh? Why?"
"What would I do with the apartment?"
"Transferring it back and forth would just be a hassle!"
That last part was actually sincere.
Even as a voluntary gift, the process would be tedious.
They’d have to visit multiple offices, make multiple trips, and waste a lot of time to finalize everything.
If this weren’t part of a quest, Lin Yu would’ve refused outright.
There was no reason to take from her while already having her.
But right now…
Without completing the Twin Vows quest, they couldn’t move forward.
Auntie Qimeng wasn’t like the two girls from the Shen family.
Her quest came with a warning:
[If the host takes no action, the opportunity will vanish automatically.]
He didn’t dare test whether that was true.
For many days now,
Chen Qimeng had been rehearsing for this moment.
She’d prepared answers for every question Xiao Yu might ask.
But reality was—
Her mind could only hold so much.
With anxiety flooding her thoughts, all her prepared words vanished!
Struggling to recall fragments of her script, she stammered:
"Xiao Yu, ever since my divorce, I never planned to remarry."
"I don’t have any other family… only you."
"This apartment was always meant for you—I’m just… just giving it to you a little earlier."
"And then… and then…"
"Lately, something’s been off between us, and I don’t even know what’s wrong…"
Lin Yu nearly laughed out loud at her rambling explanation.
How did a simple explanation turn into a ballad?
As she spoke, Chen Qimeng grew increasingly flustered, her words losing all coherence.
She stood there clutching the deed, at a loss for how to continue.
Lin Yu placed his hands on her cool shoulders, taking over the conversation.
If he waited for her to finish, who knew how long it’d take?
"Qimeng, I understand. I get it."
"You’re trying to tell me…"
"That you don’t plan to marry me, but you can’t refuse my feelings either."
"So now, you’re entrusting both the apartment… and yourself to me."
"Using the most valuable thing you own to make sure I know, understand, and… accept your feelings."
Chen Qimeng’s eyes glistened, still avoiding his gaze.
Then,
She nodded faintly and whispered:
"Xiao Yu, you deserve a better future. I…"
"Am just a divorced woman. I can’t… I know that…"
"But lately, whenever I’m with you, I… I don’t even understand what’s happening in my heart."
"Even now, I’m still afraid of making the wrong choice…"
Her hands clenched tightly around the deed, her voice trembling the entire time.
She wasn’t some young girl.
She lacked the wisdom of rational thought and the luxury of youth.
All she had was clumsy sincerity… and a heart that refused to stay still.
Lin Yu glanced at the deed in her hands and asked:
"Qimeng, if I don’t accept this… does that mean you won’t accept me?"
Chen Qimeng nodded again—this time, more firmly.
Lin Yu promptly took the property deed from Chen Qimeng’s hand, holding it firmly.
“Understood…”
“Now, both you and it belong to me.”
