The hairpin seemed so familiar to Luo Li.
‘Ah… it looks like Xiao Qing’s hairpin.’
Luo Li suddenly recalled Feng Ruqing telling her that she had a pair of hairpins that were capable of condensing spiritual qi. Hence, Feng Ruqing always wore it wherever she went. It was a pity that someone had stolen one of them. Hence, she only had one of them left.
Seeing the hairpin in Qin Chen’s hand, Luo Li’s eyes lit up with joy. She quickly rushed over to stop Qin Chen.
“I’ve seen this before…” Luo Li’s eyes lit up as she pointed at the hairpin in Qin Chen’s hand.
Qin Chen paused and tightened his grip on the hairpin. He stared at Luo Li.
“Come with me, or you will regret it!” Luo Li said earnestly as she stared solemnly at Qin Chen.
“Alright,” Qin Chen answered after pondering for a while.
Hearing Qin Chen’s answer, Luo Li was thrilled. She could finally do something for Feng Ruqing.

As soon as Qin Fei’er and her servant, Liu Xia, stepped out of the garden, they bumped into Qin Chen who was walking toward the manor’s gate with Luo Li.
As the people in the Qin family cared about their reputation so much, they had never restricted Qin Chen to do anything he wished. Hence, if Qin Chen wanted to leave the Qin family, simply no one would stop him.
“Young Lady Qin, it is no wonder that he dares to ignore you. He’s actually in touch with the manor lady of the Luo family. Young Lady Qin, don’t worry about him anymore. The Qin family has always been treating him so well and has never failed to provide him with food and drink. However, he has never appreciated it.” Liu Xia sneered.
‘How long Qin’er and Luo Li have been together?’ Qin Fei’er was lost in thought. As she did not pay attention to Liu Xia’s words, she did not stop her.
Just as Qin Fei’er regained her focus, she could clearly see an unprecedented emotion creeping into Qin Chen’s cold eyes, but she could not tell whether it was agitation or… excitement.
“Did you see… the emotion on Qin’er’s face just now?” Qin Fei’er clenched her fists, tightly. An oppressive feeling grew in her heart.
Qin Chen had always been cold and had never really shown any emotions on his face, let alone smile. Hence, Qin Fei’er did not care how Qin Yue treated her as she knew that Qin Chen had been treating everyone the same way. But now, Qin Chen had proved her wrong.
“Young Lady Qin…” Startled, Liu Xia turned to look at Qin Chen.
“It’s not something bad for Qin’er to have feelings and desires. At least, he won’t treat me coldly anymore. However, why… since he actually has other emotions, why is he treating me so coldly all this while?’ Qin Fei’er lowered her eyes, the corner of her lips curved into a bitter smile.
“I’m his sister. As Father and Mother don’t like him, I’m his dearest person in the world! Why does Qin Chen treat me like this…” Qin Fei’er could hardly stand upright. Her lips were trembling and tears streamed down her face.
Qin Fei’er was Qin Chen’s dearest person in the world, yet he was so close to Luo Li and did not even allow Qin Fei’er to walk near him.
Qin Fei’er had never seen Qin Chen get so close to Luo Li before. Although Qin Fei’er knew that both Qin Chen and she would marry someone else, she could not accept the fact that Qin Chen was treating another lady better than his own sister.
