The Schoolgirl Secret Agent

It was embarrassing to say something like that but Yun Jian pushed through because she knew that Qin Yirou’s misunderstanding toward Si Yi would only snowball if she said nothing.

“Huh?” Qin Yirou was frozen in stupor after she heard Yun Jian and stared at her in bafflement. She was stunned.

From the beginning, she had thought that Si Yi forced himself on Yun Jian. That was why she said what she did. Now, she was suddenly told that she had been wrong and her Xiao Jian was willing? Say what?

Qin Yirou gulped and stared at Yun Jian in disbelief. Her gaze was struck with both realization and shock.

“Xiao Jian, what did you say? You consented? You’re willing?” So she was accusing Si Yi by mistake? Qin Yirou blurted.

“Mn, mom, I didn’t tell you earlier. He didn’t force me to, you’ve misunderstood.” Yun Jian made the situation clear since she had already begun explaining.

“Uh… This… Huh?” Qin Yirou’s eyes widened at Yun Jian’s words.

Her daughter had gotten together with Si Yi for so long right under her nose?

“Uh, it seems like I got out at the wrong time?” Ge Junjian’s voice came from the end of the staircase of the second floor while Qin Yirou was still gaping.

She was rather embarrassed as she had misunderstood Si Yi. Ge Junjian’s appearance actually took some of that awkwardness away.

“Has Xiao Zhu slept?” Qin Yirou diverted the topic right away.

“Yeah, he’s sleeping. He’s a pretty good boy,” Ge Junjian said and walked down the stairs.

Taking in the current atmosphere, he asked again with a hint of a smile, “How are things going along?”

If Ge Junjian was asked about what he felt about Si Yi, he had a pretty good impression of him.

The topic came back to the situation at hand with Ge Junjian’s question. Qin Yirou coughed awkwardly before looking at Si Yi and Yun Jian. She did not even notice that she was holding something in her hand—Si Yi’s silver pistol.

Ge Junjian was startled when he spotted the gun and slid the firearm off Qin Yirou’s grip in silence as well. Then, he slung an arm around Qin Yirou’s shoulders.

Qin Yirou’s gaze traveled between Si Yi and Yun Jian before she told Si Yi, “A-Yi, to be honest, I quite like you… I won’t stop you from being together with my Xiao Jian, but Xiao Jian’s still young. There are certain things best left not done if you could, hmm…”

She was embarrassed about it as she spoke till the end. Oh well, as long as everyone understood what she meant.

Si Yi grabbed Yun Jian’s hand and vowed in front of Qin Yirou, “I’ll protect Xiao Jian with my life. She’s my everything now and she’s my future from now on.”

Si Yi did not make flabbergasting promises to Qin Yirou, but what he said was warm and assuring, like a quiet little stream that coursed through and brought a sense of tender credibility.

“Alright, alright. We’re old now. You both take care of yourselves. I’m done.” Not a pedant, Qin Yirou left them alone.

She and Ge Junjian had planned to go downstairs and continue watching the television but she turned back to tell Yun Jian seriously after two steps down, “Xiao Jian, I listened to my family and married your father when I was young. I regret it now, so you have my support, as long as you don’t hurt yourself! Explore the world. Even if you both got pregnant early, don’t be scared, I’ll take care of your child for you!”
