CHAPTER 106
"Alright, coincidentally, my aircraft was also destroyed in the explosion, so I can't fly it anymore." Qin Zhaoci said, having developed a psychological shadow from the accident. She made up her mind not to touch an aircraft again.
"Oh, by the way, do you remember how the aircraft exploded? Was there any warning?" Ye Lianyin suddenly thought of this.
"According to the current Imperial aircraft construction technology and the daily maintenance checks on the aircraft, such a situation shouldn't have occurred." Qin Zhaoci nodded. "Yes, the aircraft exploded instantly. Before I could react, I felt a sharp pain in my body, and then I lost consciousness."
"Instant explosion?" Ye Lianyin had a bad feeling deep inside. "Could someone have planted a bomb in your aircraft?"
"Indeed, my sister is sharp-minded. She quickly figured it out after regaining her clarity." Ye Yici suddenly walked in and joined the conversation.
"How did you come here?" Ye Lianyin frowned in confusion. "And what do you mean by your earlier words?"
Ye Yici nodded and explained, "Princess Yue Lisi just called me and asked me to come and check on Qin Zhaoci. She also wanted to inform you about the results of her recent investigation."
"Investigation results? What results?" Qin Zhaoci furrowed her brow. "Are you suggesting that the explosion I experienced wasn't an accident?"
"Indeed, it was not an accident." Ye Yici nodded. "After the explosion that you experienced, Princess Yue Lisi's regular vehicle also exploded. Fortunately, the princess was delayed due to a small matter and didn't board the vehicle on time. Additionally, the construction materials used in the princess's residence were sturdy; otherwise, she could have been injured."
"Upon realizing that Qin Zhaoci also encountered an incident, the princess understood that it wasn't a coincidence. She dispatched people to search for Qin Zhaoci while ordering an investigation."
"The person behind this act was quite audacious, probably thinking they had executed it cleanly. However, during the month-long detailed investigation by the royal family, crucial clues were discovered."
Qin Zhaoci furrowed her brow, recalling her past grievances, and hesitated before asking, "Could it be An family?"
"Correct." Ye Yici clapped her hands, her expression instantly becoming serious. "An Shujue was behind the explosion that targeted Princess Yue Lisi, while An Rixi orchestrated the explosion involving you. And it's highly likely that Yue Guangli and Yue Lituan were involved in the planning as well."
"Yue Guangli and Yue Lituan happened to commit similar types of serious crimes and were imprisoned in the same facility. After losing their status, they may have had conversations and realized they were being manipulated, which made them furious and resort to extreme measures."
"But An Rixi, the mastermind behind the explosion targeting you, is truly vicious. If she can't obtain something, she destroys it. Her heart is truly venomous."
After listening, Ye Lianyin furrowed her brow, her face turning cold. "I should never have shown mercy. I should have left her on the street the last time."
Qin Zhaoci's expression was equally grim. The original host had really provoked someone formidable.
"Did the princess send people to apprehend them?" Ye Lianyin continued to inquire.
Ye Yici nodded. "They've already been placed under surveillance. We should have results soon."
"If they're caught, remember to let us know. We must make them pay!" Qin Zhaoci gritted her teeth responded with resentment.
"Sure." Ye Yici finished discussing the princess's instructions and then patted Qin Zhaoci's shoulder. "How are you recovering?"
"I'm doing fine." Qin Zhaoci nodded. "I'll know for sure after the examination. If everything looks good, I can be discharged and go home."
Ye Yici breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great to hear. Ever since you had the accident, my sister has been visibly thinner. She hasn't been responding to messages or answering calls. She's been waiting anxiously and refuses to see anyone. She's been like a lost soul, and even our mom can't reach her."
After hearing this, Ye Lianyin stood up with a sense of guilt. "I'll call Mom right away."
"I'll go with you." Qin Zhaoci said as she tried to stand up.
"No, no." Ye Lianyin shook her head. "I have something else to discuss, and it's not convenient for you to hear it right now."
"Huh?" Qin Zhaoci blinked her eyes. "What could you possibly say that I can't hear, Yinyin! You actually have a secret from me!"
Watching Qin Zhaoci pretend to be angry, Ye Lianyin reached up and pinched her cheek before pulling Ye Yici along and leaving.
Once outside, instead of immediately calling Song Xinchu, Ye Lianyin dragged Ye Yici to a corner.
Crossing her arms in front of her chest, she scrutinized Ye Yici with a discerning gaze. "When did you become so close to the princess?"
"Cough," Ye Yici pretended not to understand, choking on her own saliva. "What do you mean by close? The princess only saw that I am your sister, so she found it convenient to let me inform you."
"Heh," Ye Lianyin snorted coldly, not giving her any face. "Do you think I'll believe that?"
"Come to think of it, I don't recall you ever mentioning having a romantic interest in all these years. But last year, on my birthday, I think I smelled the scent of Omega pheromones on you."
"And this scent, it was exactly the same as what I smelled on Princess Yue Lisi. It was uncanny."
Ye Yici's face instantly changed, and she quickly covered Ye Lianyin's mouth with her hand, blinking rapidly. "Th-this, I, I sprayed blocker at that time! Ye Lianyin, are you a dog? How could you smell it?"
Ye Yici's words directly confirmed Ye Lianyin's thoughts. After a moment of silence, Ye Lianyin furrowed her brow and asked, "How long have you been together?"
Ye Yici scratched her head somewhat shyly. "We've been together since university, for about three or four years. I secretly pursued her."
"You hid it well enough." Ye Lianyin observed her. "What are you planning to do?"
"She said we'll announce it once she successfully ascends to the throne. Our relationship is quite stable." Ye Yici happily replied, thinking that Ye Lianyin was referring to that.
But Ye Lianyin shook her head. "I mean, how are you going to tell our family? Princess Yue Lisi is going to become the queen, and your future children will definitely have the surname 'Yue.' How do you think our traditional-minded family will react? Do you think those old-fashioned folks will approve?"
Ye Yici squinted her eyes slightly. "I don't care whether they approve or not. Besides, we still have you. You and Qin Zhaoci can have more children."
"Heh," Ye Lianyin snorted and instinctively covered her lower abdomen, shaking her head. "No, I want the child in my stomach to have Qin Zhaoci's surname. I won't let her have the Ye surname."
Ye Yici's eyes widened instantly. "The child in your stomach? Ye Lianyin, you... mmm!"
As Ye Yici's voice rose, Ye Lianyin quickly raised her hand and covered her mouth, lowering her voice. "Don't shout! I haven't told Qin Zhaoci yet!"
Ye Yici blinked her eyes and nodded earnestly, indicating that she understood.
Ye Lianyin finally let go of her hand, and just as she did, she heard Ye Yici's intentionally lowered excited voice, "Wow, am I going to be an aunt? I never thought I'd become an aunt at such a young age! Hahaha! How old is my little niece? Does she look more like you or Qin Zhaoci? Well, no matter who she resembles, she'll definitely be beautiful."
"She's only 10 weeks old. Who knows who she'll take after? We'll find out when she gets older. And, don't go around telling everyone, I don't want others to know." Ye Lianyin couldn't help but remind her.
Ye Yici chuckled and teased, "Why not let others know? You haven't even told Qin Zhaoci yet? Is the child not hers?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Lianyin raised her foot and gave her a kick. "I just haven't figured out how to bring it up."
"Alright, alright, calm down. Don't be so fierce," Ye Yici raised her foot that was hurt from the kick. "I won't tell anyone, but you have to tell Mother, right? It's been 10 weeks and you haven't mentioned it. Your plan is quite terrifying."
After Ye Yici's excitement faded, she immediately understood that Ye Lianyin must have been desperate to keep this child. Her expression turned somewhat grim.
Ye Lianyin pursed her lips and nodded. "Hmm, I'll organize my thoughts and call Mom."
"Mom will definitely have something to say to you." Ye Yici poked Ye Lianyin's head. "You're such a fool."
Ye Lianyin rolled her eyes and gave her a push on the waist. "Alright, you better go now. By the way, Princess Yue Lisi has never revealed any Omega pheromone scent in front of me."
After speaking, Ye Lianyin raised her eyebrows triumphantly and turned away in a graceful manner.
Ye Yici stood there, petrified, watching Ye Lianyin's figure. She realized that she had been tricked by Ye Lianyin and immediately regretted it, stomping her foot in frustration.
After stomping her foot, she didn't forget to remind Ye Lianyin through the optical brain to keep it a secret, not even allowing Qin Zhaoci to know.
Ye Lianyin also understood the importance of this matter and quickly replied that she knew.
Back in the hospital room, when Ye Lianyin saw Qin Zhaoci looking at her, she immediately pretended to be angry. She couldn't help but laugh inwardly. She suddenly started to worry that the little one in her stomach might also be a little performer.
"Alright, alright, stop pretending." Ye Lianyin walked over and pinched Qin Zhaoci's face. "I saw you change your expression just now."
Qin Zhaoci couldn't keep up the act either, and she grinned, reaching out to pull Ye Lianyin into her embrace. She rubbed her face against Ye Lianyin's and said, "Ms. Yinyin has secrets from me now. What can't you tell me?"
"Well, you still have secrets that you haven't told me." Ye Lianyin poked at Qin Zhaoci's heart, hinting at something.
Qin Zhaoci blinked guiltily and pursed her lips. "Then, when we go back tonight, I'll tell you my biggest secret. In exchange. You have to tell me one of your secrets too."
"Sure." Ye Lianyin raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Your secret better be big enough."
"It will absolutely leave you speechless." Qin Zhaoci pinched Ye Lianyin's chin, closed her eyes, and after concealing her inner unease, she kissed her lips.
"Xiaoci, the test results are fine. You can be discharged from the hospital now." At that moment, Rao Antong and Qin Zhongying suddenly walked into the room.
Ye Lianyin was taken aback, pushed Qin Zhaoci's face away, quickly bounced off her, and with slightly flushed ears, she touched her nose.
Rao Antong and Qin Zhongying exchanged awkward glances, realizing that they had interrupted the couple. They felt somewhat embarrassed.
After a brief silence in the air, Qin Zhongying was the first to break the awkwardness, giving Ye Lianyin a meaningful glance. "Although we know that you two have reunited after a long time apart and have a lot of pent-up passion, please exercise some self-restraint."
