Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 871 872: So Unfulfilling

Chapter 871

Lan Jiaojiao's eyes widened in shock because she was all too familiar with this voice.
But the old man in front of her made her unsure for a moment if she was hallucinating.
"Who are you?"
Jiaojiao opened her mouth, with a mix of surprise and caution.
Qin Yi's lips curled up slightly, "That's right, it's me."
"Old Qin." Lan Jiaojiao's face was full of joy.
Qin Yi nodded slightly.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Lan Jiaojiao was exhilarated and hadn't expected Qin Yi to suddenly show up.
But soon, her expression turned worried, "Old Qin, you shouldn't have come. The Fang Family set a trap waiting for you. You should leave quickly while there's still time."
"Oh, really? Then I'll leave now." Qin Yi turned to go.
Lan Jiaojiao was dumbfounded, just like that?
Qin Yi took a few steps, stopped, and turned back, "Are you really that witless? I've come all this way; how could I leave without helping you?"
Lan Jiaojiao was startled, then suddenly cried tears of joy.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry, it's like I'm bullying you."
Lan Jiaojiao wiped away her tears at the corners of her eyes, "You are bullying me, always making people worry."
Qin Yi looked apologetic, "I'm sorry for getting you involved."
"I'm not blaming you for involving me, it's just that you're too restless."
Qin Yi smiled wryly, "I also want to settle down, but the tree wants to rest yet the wind won't stop, I'm helpless too.
Alright, let's not talk about this, let me get you out first."
Lan Jiaojiao worriedly said, "I heard them say the Fang Family set a trap for you."
"Trust me, since I've dared to come, I'm not afraid of any trap. It's said that the evil advances one foot but righteousness advances ten."
"You're even doing math now." Lan Jiaojiao laughed.
"With the intelligence of those idiots from the Fang Family, there's no way they could set a trap. Besides, even if they did, I would tear it apart."
Lan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "Look at you, so capable."
"Hey, I'm here to rescue you, can't you say something nice?"
"No! Seeing you like this makes me want to punch you."
Qin Yi: "..."
His current appearance was Fang Zan's.
"Alright, actually I want to punch this face too. But first, we need to ensure your safety."
Lan Jiaojiao's expression changed, "Old Qin, Qingyi and Yin Chen are still in their hands."
"Don't worry, I've already rescued them. They're safe now."
Lan Jiaojiao was full of joy. But then her cute face sunk, "Why was I the last to be rescued? Am I not important to you?"
Qin Yi: "..."
"Maybe I walked into the wrong room, Miss, please continue staying here."
Qin Yi said as he turned to leave.
Lan Jiaojiao grabbed Qin Yi's arm, "If you dare leave, I'll call for help."
Qin Yi: "..."
Lan Jiaojiao laughed, "See, you know how formidable I am now?"
Qin Yi nodded, "Your shamelessness is getting stronger."
"I learned it from you."
"I'm not as shameless as you."
Lan Jiaojiao pouted, "Are we leaving now?"
"Not yet, we'll leave tomorrow."
"Why?"
"Because you still have to marry Fang Zhiyi."
Lan Jiaojiao's cute face turned dark for a moment, "Stop talking nonsense and get me out of here, I don't want to stay in this hellhole a minute longer."
"I'm serious, we can't leave just yet; I need to prepare a big gift for the Fang Family."
Lan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yi suspiciously, "What scheme are you plotting now? I'm telling you, I'd rather die than marry Fang Zhiyi."
"Don't worry, no way will I let you really marry Fang Zhiyi..."
Qin Yi explained his plan.
Lan Jiaojiao stared blankly for a while, then looked at Qin Yi and said seriously, "You're getting more and more insidious."
Qin Yi: "..."
"I usually call this intelligence and strategy."
Lan Jiaojiao pouted, "You're useless at everything except being devious."
Qin Yi: "..."
"I'm here to save you, can't you say something nice?"
"But I was implicated by you."
Qin Yi looked speechless.
Lan Jiaojiao giggled.
Qin Yi shook his head helplessly, "Take off the bandage on your head, let me see your injury."
Lan Jiaojiao hesitated not at all, she removed the bandage, revealing a scar the size of a Copper Coin on her forehead.
Because her cultivation had been sealed, she could only use external medicine, so the wound healed slowly, and even now there was still a trace of blood.
"It's over, it's untreatable." Qin Yi shook his head.
Lan Jiaojiao was startled, "Really?"
"This medicine must have been given by the Fang Family, right? This kind of medicine, once used, seeps into the skin, leaving a permanent mark. You already have the flame mark left by the Inheriting Heaven Pearl on your forehead, and now there's another scar, you're completely disfigured."
"Oh." Lan Jiaojiao shrugged indifferently.
Qin Yi was stunned. Normally, a disfigured girl would at least be upset if not break down, right? Jiaojiao used to have a stunning appearance, and now she's disfigured, yet all she says is "Oh"? This reaction is way too cool!
"Aren't you worried?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
"I'm not worried." Lan Jiaojiao said.
"Why not?"
"Because you're the all-capable Old Qin, I know you'll definitely heal it."
Qin Yi: "..."
"You're really overestimating me, I'm truly at a loss this time."
Lan Jiaojiao said carelessly, "It's okay! This scar was left because of you, so you'll feel guilty every time you see me, and that's kind of fun."
Qin Yi: "..."
Gosh, this woman is willing to sacrifice her looks just to make him feel guilty? He glanced a couple of times at Lan Jiaojiao's chest, wondering if she had suddenly turned into a man.
What woman doesn't care about her looks?
Lan Jiaojiao picked up a mirror and looked at herself, "I'm truly a beauty of the highest order, still pretty even after being disfigured. It's so unfair to those women who went to all that trouble trying to enhance their beauty. But fate is just that unfair, I'm so sorry."
Qin Yi: "..."
"Not seeing you for a while, your face has thickened. Does the Inheriting Heaven Pearl also enhance skin toughness?"
Lan Jiaojiao laughed, "This is called being influenced by close friends; with a friend like you, I can't stay thin-skinned."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Get ready, I'll heal your wounds."
Lan Jiaojiao sat down, raised her head, "Go ahead."
"You're not surprised at all?"
"Why should I be surprised? Didn't I say, you're the all-capable Old Qin. Healing this minor wound is a breeze. I knew you were just trying to scare me." Lan Jiaojiao said smugly.
Qin Yi: "..."
"Don't you know it makes me feel unaccomplished?"
Lan Jiaojiao nodded, "I know! Your lack of accomplishment gives me a great sense of achievement."
Qin Yi said helplessly, "You've really become craftier after spending time with the Nine-tailed Fox Clan."
"Wrong, it's because of you, I've been influenced by you. You're much more cunning and sly than the Fox Clan."
