Got it.

It’s confirmed.

It’s her senior brother.

Her senior brother was giving her man a hard time…

Tsk…

If she mediated between them, the cooperation between her senior brother and Qin Lu should go much more smoothly, right?

Nan Yan licked her lips and smiled, “Brother, I might know the person you’re looking for.”

“Hmm?”

“Later tonight, I’ll introduce you two.”

“Who is he?” Qin Lu, not being a fool, had already guessed some things from Nan Yan’s expression.

Nan Yan smiled again, “The man you’re talking about is probably my senior brother…”

Qin Lu:

After a moment, a layer of gloom settled over Qin Lu’s face.

So, had he unknowingly been tricked by Nan Yan’s senior brother?

Great…

“Young Master, Miss Nan, Miss Euphemia is here again!” Wu Yue reported to them in a low voice, as if facing a great enemy.

Nan Yan nudged Qin Lu, “I came here with my senior brother this time and don’t want to cause him any trouble. You handle that woman yourself.”

Qin Lu didn’t want Nan Yan to meet Euphemia either. He nodded and said, “You go inside.”

Nan Yan went into the room, and Qin Lu closed the door for her. Not three seconds later, Euphemia walked in, her high heels clicking.

Euphemia’s gaze swept around as if looking for someone.

Before she could ask, Qin Lu spoke coldly, “Get out.”

Euphemia was startled by his harsh tone, then reacted with a mix of shame and anger, completely forgetting that she was supposed to look for Nan Yan.

Earlier, Lady Carl had followed Duke Holtz’s instructions to find Euphemia, asking her to entertain Nan Yan. Two young women could easily find common topics.

However, Euphemia, following the guards’ directions, ended up in this courtyard, her nerves instantly on edge.

Of course, she wasn’t worried about Nan Yan discovering Qin Lu being held here.

She was worried that if Nan Yan knew nothing and came in, offending Qin Lu, he might get angry and kill her.

After all, Euphemia had felt the killing intent from Qin Lu more than once.

If she weren’t Duke Holtz’s daughter, and killing her wouldn’t have prevented his escape, she believed she would have already died at his hands.

But if it were someone else disturbing him, she felt he wouldn’t show any mercy.

If something happened to the person Mr. Bo brought to the First Duke’s mansion, her father’s efforts to build a good relationship with Mr. Bo would be ruined!

Just as she was about to ask, Qin Lu coldly told her to “get out,” which nearly made Euphemia explode with anger.

“Qin Lu, do you think you can just take advantage of my feelings, no matter how terrible you are to me, and I’ll forgive you? Is that why you’re so ruthless?”

Euphemia’s eyes were red, stubborn and aggrieved, refusing to cry.

It was the first time she had liked a man so much and wanted to be with him.

Why did he hate her so much?

Qin Lu coldly instructed, “Wu Yue, beat her up and throw her out.”

Wu Yue: “…”

Young Master, this is Duke Holtz’s favorite daughter!

He didn’t dare to hit her!

But throwing her out was something he could manage.

If anything happened, he had the Young Master and Miss Nan to back him up.

“Miss Euphemia, my young master is resting at this hour. Please leave.”

Wu Yue wanted to roll his eyes.

Knowing how much the young master disliked her, why did she keep pushing herself onto him? Did she have a masochistic streak?

Euphemia stomped her foot in frustration, then angrily stormed off.

Just before leaving, she remembered the reason she came and turned back, eyes red, saying, “Mr. Qin, if you see a young woman intruding, please don’t harm her. She’s a guest at our mansion and doesn’t mean any harm.”

Qin Lu replied coldly, “There’s no other woman here besides you.”

Euphemia thought that made sense.

The place was locked, and there were so many people watching. If Nan Yan had really come here, she would have been discovered already.

Since she wasn’t here, Euphemia decided not to annoy Qin Lu any further.

In just over a day, once they were engaged, no matter how unwilling he was, he would have no choice.

Euphemia took a few more heartfelt glances at Qin Lu’s face before rushing out.

She still had to find Nan Yan.

As a guest, Nan Yan was incredibly rude, wandering around someone else’s house.

If it weren’t for Mr. Bo, she wouldn’t even bother looking for her!
