The little tortoise blinked innocently and continued to play cute, oblivious to the jealousy its female master felt towards it.
“Alright, alright. It’s stupidly cute,” Qin Jiran immediately gave in.
The 'stupidly cute” tortoise: The male master is unreliable!
“Hmph!”
The 'stupid cute” tortoise, again: The female master is tsundere!

The next day, Su Yanyi was woken by a phonecall. The sky was still dark.
The caller was Mother Su, who surprised Su Yanyi by saying, “Yanyi, I received news that Qin Jiran is the illegitimate son of the Qin family’s second eldest.”
Mother Su’s voice contained obvious anger.
All traces of drowsiness immediately vanished as the gears in Su Yanyi’s mind started to turn. She tried to remember if she had heard anything about this in her previous life, but all she could remember was meeting people from the Qin family once or twice in her vegetative state. The details were unclear.
“Who found out about it?” Su Yanyi asked coldly. She didn’t ask if the information was real; since her mother was telling her about it, then clearly it had already been confirmed.
“It’s currently on the headlines of the two media companies controlled by the Wang family. The mastermind is obviously the Wang family, I’m just not sure if the Qin family plays a part or not. Should we prevent this from spreading?” Mother Su asked, giving the right of decision to Su Yanyi.
Although the two media companies were mainly controlled by the Wang family, there were other shareholders in the company. If Mother Su tried her best and made use of the Su family’s connections, temporarily stopping the news from spreading wouldn’t be difficult.
Su Yanyi thought of a moment before responding, “We can block it now, but we can’t block it forever. Mom, get Dragon’s Emissary ready while I talk to Qin Jiran about this. If he doesn’t object, we’ll aim to blow up the news before the Wang family does—the public opinion must be in our favor!”
