Chapter 9

Translated by Neirith

Ling Qing set down his coffee cup and stood up. "I will explain to the Young Master. Don't worry, it's not what you think."

"That would be for the best."

"I don't mind if you tell him about our conversation today to him, but don't tell anyone else, okay?"

"Rest assured, Madam. I am not that type of person."

"I believe you." Ling Qing smiled. "I'm going back to my room. I'd like to eat curry tonight, thanks."

"Alright," the steward responded respectfully.

When Yu Chen returned home from work, he noticed the house smelled strongly of curry. The steward had mentioned to him that Ling Bai had come over to see Ling Qing earlier this afternoon. Frowning, Yu Chen returned to his room to change his clothes.

When he returned downstairs and entered the kitchen, he found that Ling Qing was already seated in a dining room chair.

"Come sit," Ling Qing motioned with his chin.

Yu Chen sat down across from him and asked, "I heard Ling Bai came this afternoon?"

"Yep."

"What did you talk about?"

Ling Qing looked at him calmly, "Oh, he said that you were deeply in love with him, that he didn't mean to have you fall for him, and that he wanted to have dinner with me."

Yu Chen: ...

Yu Chen had a headache.

"And what did you say?"

"What I said was more intense than him." Ling Qing said with a face full of tranquility, "Wanna know? If you want to, come over here."

"Just spit it out."

"No, it was too shocking, the walls might have ears."

Yu Chen looked at him doubtfully, "What in the world did you say?"

Ling Qing beckoned him, "Come here, I'll tell you."

Yu Chen didn't move.

Seeing that he didn't move, Ling Qing also made no effort to move and looked at him collectedly. Unable to bear it any longer, Yu Chen walked over and bent down to approach him.

"Speak."

Reaching out, Ling Qing hooked an arm around his neck, pulling them close together as he whispered softly, "I said that I liked him. Then I told him a big secret."

"What secret?"

"Xiao Bai isn't the child of the Ling family."

Yu Chen was shocked and looked at him in disbelief. "Ling Qing, you can't just speak utter nonsense."

"If I didn't have proof, would I say this kind of thing?"

Yu Chen was unconvinced, "How did you know?"

Ling Qing had long since known. "When I was young, my mother once lost me. I was brought back, but I was very young and at that age, many children seemed alike. My mother believed my father had picked up a random child and that I was not her son."

"Later, I learned of her suspicions and took a paternity test with everyone in the family. The results indicated that I was related to my parents but not Xiao Bai, so it was at that point that I knew."

Yu Chen remained silent for a bit. "Do you still have a copy of the report?"

"Of course I didn't keep it. What did I do with it? I burned it."
