289: Chapter 289 Long Lingyin, too immersed in her role

Qin Ge suppressed the urge to ask to see the 'Leizi' as much as possible. He deliberately clenched his fist and coughed lightly against his lips, saying, "I'm only doing this for the sake of your Junior Sister's friendship; it has nothing to do with you!"

The capture strategy targeting Jiang Ling had already been formulated.

At the moment, he couldn't show too strong an interest.

The more indifferent he was, the more Jiang Ling—who cared most about her youthful appearance—would be unable to remain calm.

In any case, six of the Seven Martial Sisters already had inseparable relationships with him.

He wasn't afraid of not seeing Jiang Ling in the future!

By rubbing salt in Jiang Ling's wounds all day long, and with several Junior Sisters dropping hints, he wasn't worried that a psychologically normal Jiang Ling wouldn't be led astray.

"This matter has nothing to do with my Junior Sisters!"

"This favor is something I, Jiang Ling, owe you!"

"I will repay you myself!"

Jiang Ling glanced at the cold, mature-styled Cui Yunxuan, gritted her teeth, and said indignantly, "I'm going to hunt down Lin Yu and those Sakura devils!"

Jiang Ling, dressed in a ruqun, clenched her small fists resentfully. Cursing Qin Ge in her heart for not recognizing quality, she left in a huff.

Xiao Ju looked at Qin Ge and warmly invited him, "Mr. Qin, no matter what, you've saved my life and the lives of the two Presidents again!"

"Why not come to the villa so Madam can properly show her gratitude?"

"Xiao Ju!" Cui Yunxuan rolled her eyes charmingly, looked at Qin Ge, and explained, "You know my mom's cooking skills."

Qin Ge shook his head. "Next time. I still have matters to handle."

After all, killing Chen Yuan next would involve that terrifying existence, Dantai Qingyue.

He needed to think it through carefully!

...

After leaving the destroyed Yue Family, Qin Ge summoned Qiao Yingzi and returned directly to the hotel.

Coincidentally, he saw a door open two rooms down. It was Long Lingyin, her face haggard, yet her beauty still hard to conceal.

The moment Long Lingyin stepped out and saw Qin Ge, her legs almost went weak subconsciously.

She hurriedly retreated into the room, trying to close the door.

"Why are you in such a hurry to close the door?"

Qin Ge reached out and grabbed the door handle.

With a slight push, he forced his way into the guest room where Long Lingyin was staying. As if entering his own residence, he strolled casually toward the large bed that was filled with a lingering fragrance.

He sat with his legs crossed, looking at Long Lingyin who was still standing by the door. With a playful smile on his lips, he teased, "What are you standing there for? You can close the door now!"

Bang—

Long Lingyin closed the door with a guilty conscience.

"Come here!"

Qin Ge extended a finger and beckoned.

Long Lingyin walked toward Qin Ge with heavy steps, her long and shapely legs feeling like lead.

She didn't dare show any dissatisfaction, only managing to squeeze out a forced, flattering smile. "Qin..."

"Stop!" Qin Ge raised his hand to interrupt her, getting straight to the point. "I don't want to hear what you have to say. I just want to know why you did it!"

"You were the one who let Chen Yuan go, right?"

"You knew Chen Yuan and I were at odds, yet you deliberately let him leave. What does that mean? Have you chosen to betray me?"

Long Lingyin opened her mouth. "I..."

Qin Ge's face hardened as he shouted angrily, "Kneel! I'm very fired up right now!"

Creak—

Long Lingyin clenched her small fists in frustration, yet she didn't dare show her anger.

She began to wonder if this guy Qin Ge had kidneys made of iron.

How long had it been?

How many times had he bullied her?

Was he going to bully her again this time?!

Doesn't this guy Qin Ge ever get tired?

However, no matter how much resentment and dissatisfaction she felt, she didn't dare disobey Qin Ge's orders.

There was no other way. Just as he said, she really was the one who let Chen Yuan go.

She couldn't let this matter alarm her Revered Master, nor could she let Qin Ge help her Bright Moon Sect clean house.

Otherwise, with her Revered Master's personality of clearly distinguishing between gratitude and grudges, even if she found out Qin Ge had humiliated her, she probably wouldn't kill him. At most, she would cripple him.

In that case, Qin Ge would surely seek the protection of his Family.

If that happened, she would completely lose the chance to kill Qin Ge.

Wu—

"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Long Lingyin feels ashamed and resentful. Reward: Host receives +666 villain points!"

A long time later,

Qin Ge tilted up Long Lingyin's flower-like face, staring at her beauty which was enough to rank alongside Xu Shiyin as one of the two national goddesses.

He marveled in his heart, thinking that she truly lived up to being a Best Actress!

This acting skill was truly extraordinary!

No wonder Long Lingyin never acted in romance films or did 'CP' marketing, but instead focused solely on her career on screen.

Xu Shiyin played the female lead because the Xu Family didn't allow her to do CP marketing, let alone have a 'fake boyfriend' on screen. On one hand, it was to protect Xu Shiyin; on the other, it was to protect other actors.

After all, any slight mistake could lead to retaliation from the children of prestigious families.

But Long Lingyin was different.

Her acting was too good and too professional.

Once she got into character, it was hard for her to pull herself out.

For instance, right now, Long Lingyin still thought she was playing the role of Qiao Yingzi!

She was too deep in character; without someone to wake her up, she couldn't extricate herself!

"Tell me, why did you choose to defy my orders?"

Qin Ge pinched Long Lingyin's delicate chin and questioned her with a cold expression.

Long Lingyin subconsciously swallowed hard in fear. "President Qin, I..."

Qin Ge snorted coldly. He pulled Long Lingyin up and pinned her down on the Simmons mattress. He gripped her long, snow-white neck roughly and questioned her further with a cold face and an icy voice, "Speak! Do you like Chen Yuan!!?"

Long Lingyin hurriedly shook her head vigorously. "President Qin, how could I possibly like Chen Yuan? This is actually a misunderstanding!"

"Mis! Under! Standing!? I'll! Give! You! A! Misunderstanding!"

Qin Ge's eyes were filled with fury. He spat out every word with gritted teeth.

Long Lingyin turned her beautiful face away with a look of humiliation.

She no longer bothered to explain.

This guy Qin Ge was asking just fine a moment ago.

Why did he suddenly become crazy again?

Does explaining even matter now?

She was already being bullied.

If she spoke more, it would only make things worse and make Qin Ge angrier.

"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Long Lingyin is filled with grief and indignation. Reward: Host receives +666*2 villain points!"

"..."

"Ding! Daughter of Destiny Long Lingyin has lost emotional control. Reward: Host receives +666*10 villain points!"

The night passed quietly.

Long Lingyin lay limp and weak in Qin Ge's arms.

She felt both ashamed and secretly relieved.

She was ashamed because she had been humiliated by Qin Ge yet again.

She was relieved because she hadn't expected that after she let Chen Yuan go, Qin Ge would actually come to question her instead of suspecting her identity.

After all, Qiao Yingzi was Qin Ge's confidante and was always by his side.

After she left mysteriously last time, she thought Qiao Yingzi would definitely return to Qin Ge's side these past few days, which led her to destroy Qiao Yingzi's human skin mask.

No... wait!

Long Lingyin realized something. She reached out and touched her face.

Feeling the familiar skin of her own face, Long Lingyin's beautiful eyes widened, her pupils shaking violently.

She had destroyed Qiao Yingzi's human skin mask.

She hadn't disguised herself as Junior Sister Ruan or the other Junior Sister again either.

Was she facing him with her true appearance right now?

"Qin! Ge!!!!"

Looking at the handsome face of the napping Qin Ge, Long Lingyin's mental state crumbled as she let out a hysterical roar.
