The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

Chapter 57

The next day,

Early in the morning.

Qin Yan knocked on Qin Hanyue's door, and was about to speak when Qin Hanyue raised his hand to stop him. Qin Yan did not understand.

The next moment, he saw a person walk out of the bedroom, passing by Third Young Master Qin in a leisurely manner as if no one else was there.

Qin Yan looked at Qiao Ying, who was yawning with slightly disheveled long hair, clearly having just gotten out of bed. He was shocked, his facial features distorted in disbelief.

Standing foolishly in place staring blankly at Qiao Ying, the latter glanced coldly at him, with an expression of displeasure and irritation at being woken up.

Qin Yan's body inexplicably shuddered.

Having followed his boss Qin Hanyue to all kinds of grand occasions, he had long cultivated the skill of maintaining composure even in the face of the collapse of Mount Tai. Moreover, he was naturally inclined to have rich inner thoughts with a calm exterior, so no matter how excited he was, he could remain calm on the surface.

Until this moment—

"She, she..." Qin Yan pointed at Qiao Ying behind Qin Hanyue, completely losing control.

Qin Hanyue ignored him, but looked at Qiao Ying who was sitting casually on the sofa, supporting her head with one hand and looking out the window, completely at ease as if this was her own home. He asked with concern, "Miss Qiao, how did you sleep last night?"

Leaving Qin Yan to be confused on his own.

Qiao Ying looked at the man, her gaze falling on the handsome and abstinent face. Having successfully raised her eyes, she felt happy and deigned to reveal a slight smile.

"Still okay. How about Mr. Qin? It must be very uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa. Were you able to turn over?"

Last night, Qin Hanyue had voluntarily given up the bed and slept on the sofa. Qiao Ying had been surprised. The prestigious Third Young Master Qin must have been pampered since childhood, how could he have suffered such grievance? But she had not expected him to be willing to lower himself like this.

Sleep on the sofa???!!!

Qin Yan's eyes widened in shock, and he almost cried out. He looked at his boss in disbelief, one hand clutching his heart.

He couldn't take so much stimulation this early in the morning.

Qin Hanyue frowned to himself. In his heart he thought, in front of his subordinates, this young lady really has no consideration for his reputation.

Could she be doing it on purpose?

Fortunately, Qin Yan was discreet.

"It was the first time, so it really was a bit uncomfortable," said Qin Hanyue.

"Mr. Qin has really suffered," said Qiao Ying.

"You overstate it. I am a grown man and not so delicate. As long as Miss Qiao slept well, that’s fine. However..." Qin Hanyue changed the subject, "Last night, when Miss Qiao suddenly got up in the middle of the night, it really startled me. I had thought Miss Qiao was joking about sleepwalking."

Qiao Ying's expression was unchanged as she followed along, "Did I startle Mr. Qin? I'm really sorry."

Qin Hanyue slightly shook his head to indicate it was nothing.

Qiao Ying asked, "I didn't do anything inappropriate, did I?"

Qin Hanyue's thoughts were pulled back to the previous night - after Qiao Ying had left the room, she soon returned, quietly and silently.

However, she did not get directly into bed, but came to the sofa and crouched down to look at him.

Lying on the sofa, Qin Hanyue could feel Qiao Ying's gaze on his face, smell the same shampoo scent on both their bodies, and her breathing right next to him.

Her breathing was steady and subtle, so subtle it was almost imperceptible, making Qin Hanyue unable to discern whether she really was sleepwalking and in a state of sleep, or had martial arts training and knew how to control herself.

He did not believe her claim of sleepwalking.

Qiao Ying just stared at him and did not do anything else. After a while, she returned to the bed.

After that, Qin Hanyue opened his eyes. His hearing was very good, but after Qiao Ying had left the bedroom, he could not hear whether she had left the room or just stayed in the living room for a while.

Qin Hanyue calmly retrieved his thoughts, "No."

Qiao Ying smiled, "That's good, otherwise it would have been awkward."

Qin Hanyue asked, "Does Miss Qiao want to dine in the room or go to the restaurant?"

"Either is fine with me."

"Then let's go take a look at the restaurant."

Qiao Ying looked at Qin Hanyue, a fleeting, indiscernible expression in her eyes. Then she stood up, "Let me go brush my teeth first."

As Qiao Ying entered the bedroom, the gentleness on Qin Hanyue's face instantly disappeared.

Qin Yan was still in a daze, his mind blank. He suddenly heard his master coldly ask, "What was the matter you knocked on the door for this morning?"

"Ah?" Qin Yan was clearly still in shock. After reacting, he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Third Young Master, I've confirmed the identities of those people. They are from the Hurricane Mercenary Group."

"Where are they now?" asked Qin Hanyue.

"Still in the hotel, they've checked in. Over twenty people, booked one room, stationed right below us. They probably didn't make a move last night because of us being here."

Qin Yan did not understand, "The Hurricane Mercenary Group is ranked among the top in the entire M Continent in strength. How could they be targeting an ordinary person like Miss Qiao? What enmity could she have incurred? Although M Continent is chaotic, with few women around, the men here can't help being thirsty and desperate. But with Miss Qiao's looks, it’s unlikely she would attract such a big reaction from Hurricane.

Moreover, if it was really over some male-female business, it would have been dangerous the moment Miss Qiao set foot in M Continent. How could she have strolled around the Colosseum and still be safe and sound?"

An ordinary person? Qin Hanyue did not think so at all.

Seeing Qin Hanyue lost in thought, Qin Yan couldn't restrain his gossiping heart and cautiously probed, "Third Young Master, she and you, you and her... last night... you two..."

Qin Yan was eager to know. Qiao Ying who should have been in the next room, how did she appear here?

And his Third Young Master who should have been sleeping comfortably in a big bed, how did he end up relegated to the sofa?

Qin Yan could not imagine Third Young Master Qin sleeping on the sofa.

Qin Hanyue: "Did you hear any movement last night?"

Qin Yan immediately put on a serious face, "No, nothing. The sound insulation in this hotel is very good, we didn't hear anything."

Qin Hanyue frowned and turned to look at Qin Yan, whose face was full of ulterior motives and whose expression was exceptionally lively. Suddenly, his tone sank and his face turned cold, "I'm asking about Hurricane Mercenary Group's people."

Qin Yan was startled, frightened into coughing, "No, nothing. They didn't dare make reckless moves."

Facing Qin Hanyue's vexing gaze, Qin Yan didn't dare breathe loudly, but his heart was secretly active.

Was the Third Young Master deliberately avoiding the topic?

Something was fishy!

A man and a woman alone together in a room, and the Third Young Master had been abstinent for so many years. Plus there was Miss Qiao sleepwalking that was just mentioned?

Qin Yan did not believe nothing had happened.

But weren't they too far apart in age?

When they arrived downstairs at the restaurant, Qiao Ying immediately sensed something wrong with the atmosphere.

Almost all of those staying here were mercenaries who had come to participate in the Colosseum fights. Those sitting in the restaurant did not look like ordinary people at all.

Among them were Hurricane Mercenary Group's people.

Qin Hanyue and the others, dressed in suits clearly different from the rest with their identities, naturally attracted attention as soon as they appeared, especially with a delicate girl in her late teens among them.

As soon as they showed up, they naturally became the focus of the room.

Especially the Hurricane Mercenary Group. Their eyes brimming with killing intent followed Qiao Ying closely, and their knives and forks cut up the food on their plates with stroke after stroke.

Qin Yan noticed Hurricane Mercenary Group's people and whispered a reminder to Qin Hanyue, "Third Young Master."

But Qin Hanyue paid them no heed and led Qiao Ying to a window seat.

"What would you like to eat, Miss Qiao?" Qin Hanyue handed the menu to Qiao Ying courteously.

Qiao Ying randomly ordered some dishes.

The food came up quickly.

Qin Hanyue said, "Please go ahead, Miss Qiao. Don't stand on ceremony."

"It's so fortunate to run into Mr. Qin here," said Qiao Ying as she readily ate.

Qin Hanyue smiled, "I'm also very fortunate to meet an acquaintance while traveling outside."

The two chatted while eating, looking quite happy.

Just then, Qin Hanyue suddenly said, "It seems they recognize you, Miss Qiao. Are they friends? Should we go say hello?"

Following Qin Hanyue's line of sight, Qiao Ying looked towards the Hurricane Mercenary Group.
