Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Qin Jingcen’s Confession, Ruanruan Learns the Truth

Seeing Qin Ruan approaching, dressed in a casual suit and already disguised, Hu Yixian’s body shrank, instinctively hiding behind Qin Jingcen.

Qin Jingcen’s emotions also wavered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, a gentle expression appearing on his face.

He lowered his voice and said to Hu Yixian, "Don’t be nervous, nothing will happen."

Hu Yixian complained in a low voice, "I shouldn’t have gone out today, no wonder my eyelid kept twitching earlier, this is really running into an enemy on a narrow road!"

Her voice was charming, and although the tone was one of anger, it was inexplicably seductive.

Qin Jingcen’s eyes darkened slightly as he warned in a low voice, "They’re coming over, don’t speak."

Qin Mei approached with a smile and greeted, "Big brother, why are you here? Weren’t you attending a class reunion?"

On his way here, he had managed to sort out his emotions, smiling as roguishly as ever.

Qin, the second young master, exuded a frivolous air, giving off the first impression of an unruly and unlearned wastrel.

Qin Jingcen adopted the pose of an older brother, asking with a mix of kindness and authority, "I haven’t asked you yet, what are you doing here?"

Thinking of the phone call he had received earlier, he knew he had been tricked into speaking.

If Hu Yixian had not transformed, everything would have been fine, but the timing was just unfortunate.

Qin Mei pointed at Qin Ruan standing beside him and, going with the flow, said, "Isn’t this Ruanruan here? She said she missed you, so we came over to join in the fun."

Qin Ruan’s calm gaze was fixed on the person hiding behind Qin Jingcen.

Hu Yixian felt her stare and shivered uncontrollably, wishing she could vanish on the spot.

Hearing what Qin Mei had said, Qin Ruan’s face broke into a warm smile, "It just so happens that I ran into my second brother while out, and came to find our big brother since I had nothing better to do."

Qin Jingcen, knowing his sister missed him, was about to walk towards Qin Ruan.

Before he could take a step, Hu Yixian pulled at the back of his shirt, and Qin Jingcen’s facial expression slightly changed.

He paused where he was, and with a smile said to Qin Ruan, "It’s getting late, go home and spend some time with Grandfather and the child."

Qin Ruan looked at him with feigned annoyance, "Is big brother trying to send me away?"

Her tone sounded aggrieved, and Qin Jingcen quickly smiled apologetically, "How dare I."

Qin Ruan eyed the person standing behind her big brother, who had long hair cascading past the waist but was dressed in a man’s casual suit, her gaze sharp.

She stared intently at the individual and joked, "Could it be that big brother, behind his wife’s back, is with another woman? There’s no need to hide, I’ve seen everything."

Hu Yixian’s body trembled, and even Qin Jingcen noticed it.

Still without moving aside, he gently explained to his sister, "Ruanruan, you’ve misunderstood, this is a good friend of mine."

Qin Mei chimed in with a laugh, "A good friend? It’s not Sister Liao Yu, is it?"

"Amei!" Qin Jingcen’s face darkened immediately, his expression stern.

His rebuke erased the smile on Qin Mei’s face, leaving him looking confused, "Ah?"

Qin Jingcen said gravely, "Sister Liao Yu passed away two days ago."

"What?!"

Qin Mei was struck dumb, thinking of the beautiful, capable woman who had once been rumored to be involved with his big brother, now dead.

Just a week ago, when he had visited the company to see his big brother, he had still seen her—how could someone just vanish like that.

"Big brother, you must be joking, right? Sister Liao Yu bought me cake just last week, she really liked Xueqiu, couldn’t stop holding it and said she wanted to get a cat as cute as Xueqiu in the future."

Qin Mei’s eyes reddened, his face showing grief.

Qin Jingcen was no less sad; the class reunion he was attending had many of Liao Yu’s old friends, all of whom had gathered because of her.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice low and heavy, "Three days ago, Sister Liao Yu jumped off a building and committed suicide."

Qin Mei rubbed his eyes and stared wide-eyed at him: "Why would she suddenly jump off a building when she was fine?"

"The details of the incident are still unclear, and the police are still investigating,"

As the two brothers were talking, Qin Ruan silently moved behind Qin Jingcen.

Hidden inside the suit, Hu Yixian sensed someone approaching, tilted his head, and revealed a pair of seductive eyes from beneath the fabric scented with a cool-toned perfume.

Seeing her dressed oddly with a fearful and restless look in her eyes, Qin Ruan chuckled softly as she avoided his gaze, "So it’s my sister-in-law, huh? We all know each other, what’s there to hide? It’s not like I’m going to eat you."

She stepped forward and pulled down the suit jacket over Hu Yixian’s head, revealing that stunningly beautiful face.

Qin Jingcen, hearing the commotion behind him, turned and embraced Hu Yixian in his arms, explaining to Qin Ruan, "Ruanruan, your sister-in-law had a bit too much to drink today, she’s afraid of embarrassing herself in front of you guys. She’s shy, let’s not tease her anymore."

Qin Ruan smiled slightly, her gaze lowered, "They say once a brother gets a wife, he forgets his sister. It seems all too true now. Sister-in-law hasn’t even officially joined the family and I’m already jealous."

Her tone was half-serious, half-joking, seemingly complaining yet more in jest.

Qin Jingcen hurriedly voiced his reassurance, "I dote on you, I dote on you the most."

"I don’t believe you."

Qin Ruan leaned on one hand, her gaze amused as she sized up her brother and sister-in-law.

She suddenly thought of Hu Yixian, whose features weren’t particularly outstanding, but whose appearance was gentle and who possessed a sunny and cheerful disposition.

There was a faint hint of Demonic Energy about his sister-in-law, quite similar to what was on Hu Yixian. It was as if they came from the same lineage.

Feeling Qin Ruan’s intense gaze fixed on him without blinking, Hu Yixian knew he couldn’t avoid it today.

He rolled his eyes while nestled in Qin Jingcen’s embrace, his face showing a resigned expression.

Hu Yixian pushed away from Qin Jingcen’s embrace and pulled off the suit, shoving it into his arms.

Then he turned around brazenly, allowing Qin Ruan’s astonished eyes to measure him up.

At that moment, Hu Yixian had not fully transformed. Under the garage lights, one could vaguely make out familiar male contours.

A twitch of surprise crossed Qin Ruan’s lips, "It really is you, Hu Yixian!"

With his facade fallen, Hu Yixian’s expression was resigned as he sighed lowly, "Couldn’t you just pretend not to know, to save me some face?"

Qin Ruan’s eyes fell, lingering on those two things similar to hers, her worldview shaken to its core.

She pointed at Hu Yixian’s area, "Is that thing real or fake?"

Hu Yixian puffed out his chest, clearly feeling guilty yet trying to appear exceedingly proud, "All natural!"

Amidst his sorrow, Qin Mei witnessed his sister-in-law transform into brother Yiyan.

His mouth agape, his face twisted with a fierce and distorted expression, he scrutinized the other with a bizarre gaze.

Under the eerie scrutiny of Qin Ruan and Qin Mei, Hu Yixian felt thoroughly uncomfortable, as if he was some oddity being appraised for his worth.

Qin Jingcen stood there, his hand covering his complex eyes as he sighed helplessly within his heart, realizing that despite all precautions, he still hadn’t kept it hidden.

Qin Ruan, still staring at Hu Yixian, recalled how this individual became her brother’s girlfriend, deceived their father, and stole the jade bracelet their mother had left for her daughter-in-law.

Her eyes filled with accusation as she looked at Qin Jingcen, "Big brother, what exactly is going on?"

Knowing he couldn’t hide it anymore, the elder Qin disclosed everything to his brother and sister, not holding back any details.

When she learned that Hu Yixian was a Nine-tailed Fox, Qin Ruan felt a sense of inevitability settle in her heart as everything fell into place.

More perplexing to her than Hu Yixian’s identity was her big brother’s actions.

With a sharp gaze, Qin Ruan scrutinized Qin Jingcen, a hint of suspicion emerging, "Big brother, you came up with this idea just to avoid an arranged marriage?"

This didn’t align with her brother’s shrewdness. It seemed more like a deliberate calculation.

The fact that Hu Yixian was intersex made her think there was more to it.

However, observing the atmosphere between them, it didn’t seem to harbor any intimacy, but rather an indescribable understanding.

Feeling his sister’s suspicious gaze, the elder Qin touched the tip of his nose, feeling guilty.
