CHAPTER 70

"Hmm, I did hear about that a little bit." Shan Pan nodded, " So Qin Zhaoci didn't remember anything about An Rishi in the past, right?"

"Yeah." Wan Baiyun frowned and nodded, "And today Qin Zhaoci also said that her past was not that important and that she didn't really want to remember anything from her past."

"Maybe it's because she had heard about how bad she used to be on the internet and from other people's mouths, and she's quite resistant to recalling her past memories."　

"Isn't that good? Everyone loves her now." Shan Pan shrugged, "She's more than a step up from what she used to be."

"You're right." Wan Baiyun nodded, "she used to be too much of a bastard, and it's good that she's like this now. It's good that she can't remember, at least she won't go back to her old state."　

After asking Wan Baiyun, Shan Pan urged her to go to wash up, and took out her optical brain to report the news she found out to Ye Lianyin.　

At this moment, Ye Lianyin had already returned to her room. After receiving the call from Shan Pan, she quickly sat on the bed and swiped to answer it.

Just after she answered the call, Shan Pan told Ye Lianyin everything she had heard from Wan Baiyun.

After telling her about it, Shan Pan's mouth became dry, she picked up a cup of water and drank it and exhaled, "Now you can rest assured that Qin Zhaoci doesn't like that An Rixi anymore."　　

After hearing this, Ye Lianyin's expression didn't change for the better, but instead became even more silent. It was only after a while that Shan Pan heard her open her mouth in a lost voice: "In case Qin Zhaoci remembers the past, will she like An Rixi again?"　

Shan Pan froze, seriously thought about Ye Lianyin's words for a while, before seriously answering, "Thinking of Qin Zhaoci in the past, she might like An Rixi, but Qin Zhaoci in the past is not someone you would like."

Ye Lianyin suddenly brightened up and nodded, "Yeah, if Qin Zhaoci was the same person she used to be from the beginning, I really wouldn't like her."

"That's right." Shan Pan clapped her hands, "Just like how the new Qin Zhaoci won't like An Rixi, you don't have to worry."

Ye Lianyin, who was comforted by Shan Pan, nodded: "Yeah, you're right."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Lianyin's heart of stone temporarily put down, pick up her clothes, get up into the bathroom to wash up.

At this moment, Qin Zhaoci, who had already done washing, was lying on the bed, and began to toss and turn, unable to sleep.

After turning over and over again, Qin Zhaoci seemed to give up tossing, lying flat on the bed, staring straight at the ceiling of her room.

After staring at it for a while, Qin Zhaoci raised her arm and made a voice call to Sun Sui.

Sun Sui was already at home at the moment, ready to turn off the lights and go to sleep, but when she saw the call from Qin Zhaoci, she had no choice but to answer it.

"Hello, Ms. Xiao Qin, why are you calling me so late? Is there something wrong?" 

Qin Zhaoci immediately got to the point: "Secretary Sun, how long will it take to finish the house I designed for the Pastoral Planet?"

"Um, this, according to the current construction speed of the robot, it will take about a month." Sun Sui roughly estimated.

"That long?" Qin Zhaoci bit her lower lip, "Can it be expedited? I am willing to pay more."

"This..., Ms. Xiao Qin, are you in a hurry? How long is your minimum deadline?" Sun Sui didn't expect Qin Zhaoci to suddenly start to worry about this matter. Obviously, Qin Zhaoci told herself not to worry about it too much before, but what happened to this sudden change?

Qin Zhaoci also understood that her hasty change was too sudden. She sighed, pursed her lips and said, "It's a bit too complicated to say, but I want to go to Pastoral Planet as soon as possible. Try to see if they can do it in half a month, and then let the transportation company deliver it to Pastoral Planet immediately."

"Oh, and also, please help me to customize a batch of robots. I need these robots to cultivate, water, bury, fertilize, and plant. There should be companies that can develop them, right?" 

Sun Sui frowned: "Yes, the Ye company undertakes such a business. Ms. Xiao Qin, how many robots do you need?"

Qin Zhaoci thought for a while: "About fifty, and there should be also smart housekeepers, housekeeping robots, and living facilities such as electricity, drinking water, internet, etc. for Pastoral Planet's house. You can arrange for people to build related facilities in advance."

"Will it also be completed within half a month?" Sun Sui frowned, "The robot wouldn't be able to build so much so quickly. After all, Ye's R&D department still needs to spend time on research."　

"Then solve the living facilities and houses first, and it doesn't matter if the robot will be a bit late." Qin Zhaoci shook her head, "Let them finish the research institute as soon as possible." 

"Okay, I understand, "Sun Sui nodded, "Apart from these, is there anything else that you still need Ms. Xiao Qin?"

"Hmm..." Qin Zhaoci pondered for a while, "You should continue to investigate Duke Celia, and tell me immediately if you find something wrong about her."

"Understood, goodbye then, Ms. Xiao Qin." After hearing Qin Zhaoci's hmm sound from the other end of the optical brain, Sun Sui let out a sigh of relief and hung up. 

After hanging up, Sun Sui pursed her lips in resignation and began to work overtime to notify the relevant companies.

After calling Sun Sui, Qin Zhaoci seemed to have made up her mind, turned off the light in her room, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

.....

In the next few days, Qin Zhaoci and Ye Lianyin had a very tacit understanding and didn't mention the kiss again.

The wound on Ye Lianyin's lip also gradually healed over time, and finally disappeared.

The wound disappeared, but the kiss that remained in the minds and hearts of the two had not disappeared. Ye Lianyin vaguely felt that something seemed to have changed between herself and Qin Zhaoci, but she couldn't tell what had changed.

Qin Zhaoci still prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner every day as before, and returns from school with her in the afternoon.

However, if one must say what had really changed, it's probably because Qin Zhaoci didn't hold hands with her anymore like before, rarely patted her on the shoulder, chatted with her less, and the smiles that come along with it seem to have become less frequent.

Ye Lianyin, who noticed such a change, was a little apprehensive in her heart, and often wondered if her acting skills were not good, and that Qin Zhaoci must have noticed that she liked her that's why she kept her distance in this way.

But this kind of panic didn't last long. When she got up that day, Ye Lianyin felt that something was wrong with her body. After looking at the time, she found that her estrus period this month had come again.

After perceiving the time, Ye Lianyin immediately asked for leave from the school, preparing to spend this week's estrus period at home.

After breakfast, Qin Zhaoci, who found that Ye Lianyin did not plan to go to school, was a little puzzled: "Aren't you going to school today?"

Ye Lianyin shook his head: "No, I'm in estrus, and I'll stay home this week. Just like last month, don't come to the room to look for me."　

"Hmm, I understand." Qin Zhaoci clenched her fists, "I will leave the food at the door of your room at the right time."

"Mm, okay." Ye Lianyin frowned slightly, responding to Qin Zhaoci's words, but she really couldn't understand Qin Zhaoci even now.

If Qin Zhaoci knew that she likes her, then if she doesn't like herself, she should have keep her distance, but why is she still being nice to herself?

And If Qin Zhaoci really doesn't like her, then why has she kept a vague distance from her recently?

Ye Lianyin couldn't really understand what Qin Zhaoci was thinking right now, but she also didn't want to reject Qin Zhaoci's offer, so she agreed.

After breakfast, Ye Lianyin went back to her room, injected herself with inhibitors as she did last month, and tried her best to get through of her estrus period.

Qin Zhaoci looked worriedly at the location of her room, raised her hand to look at the time she had agreed with Sun Sui, and after thinking for a while, she still drove off to manage her work.　

"How's it going?" When she arrived at the construction site, Qin Zhaoci put on the helmet that Sun Sui had handed her.

Sun Sui took Qin Zhaoci to a three-story building, and said, "Ms. Xiao Qin, the real estate company has completed the prototype according to your requirements. In the following week, they will quickly decorate the house into shape, and it should be able to be complete within the agreed time."

"I have checked it just now, although the time is very urgent, they are all built according to the Imperial standard. There are no quality problems and the workmanship is fine. You can take a look to see if there are any changes that still need to be change and to avoid waiting for the renovation If you still have dissatisfaction."

Qin Zhaoci nodded, walked into the house, and began to inspect. After wandering from the first floor to the third floor, she nodded with satisfaction: "There's no problem, everything is in accordance with my design drawings, and the next step is to look at the decoration design." 

"Have you selected the relevant furniture?" Qin Zhaoci continued to ask.

Sun Sui nodded: "Yes, the real estate company will choose a suitable home according to the style you need."

Qin Zhaoci thought for a while and continued to ask: "Will there be formaldehyde in the new house after it is built? Can I move in immediately?"　

Sun Sui laughed and shook her head: "The materials that produce formaldehyde were only used by the Empire hundreds of years ago, The building materials used now are all safe and secure. You can move in immediately after the construction is completed, so you don't have to worry."

"Okay, that's good." Qin Zhaoci nodded, feeling relieved.

After leaving the construction site, she drove home again to prepare lunch at noon.

Because it was the first day of her estrus, Ye Lianyin didn't hide in her room all day like she did before.

Soon after Qin Zhaoci returned home, she came out of her room, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV.

"Is it all right for you to come out?" Qin Zhaoci came out wearing an apron to get vegetables, and was a little surprised when she saw Ye Lianyin sitting on the sofa.

Ye Lianyin turned to look at her, and shook her head: "I've already been injected with inhibitors, it won't be this frequent on the first day, and it's not like you're going to do anything to me, right?"

Qin Zhaoci froze when she heard this, and a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes. In the past, she might have nodded and patted her chest to assure Ye Lianyin.

But now she has loss her confidence regarding this, after all, even the last time Ye Lianyin drunkenly didn't release her pheromones, she still almost couldn't control herself.

But in front of Ye Lianyin, she couldn't show any abnormality either. She smiled and half-jokingly said: "It's hard to say. After all, I'm an Alpha, as mentioned in the physiology class, facing Omega pheromones, there is basically no Alpha that can control herself, so I don't have that much confidence in me."
