After a long while, Lin Qing finally snapped out of her daze. She turned to look at Wen Xueqi, only to see that Wen Xueqi's gaze was fixated on her face, as though she was possessed by a devil.

Seeing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but be startled. She couldn't help but touch her own face, but she didn't find anything amiss. She couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.

Following Lin Qing's movements, Wen Xueqi seemed to have sobered up. Thinking of her expression just now, her face couldn't help but turn red. In order to cover up her embarrassment, Wen Xueqi couldn't help but lower her head.

She was just like a water lotus, coquettish as the cool breeze. She was beautiful yet moving, causing Lin Qing to feel a sense of palpitation in her heart.

With Wen Xueqi's expression, most people might think that she was interested in him, but if she did, it would be a grave mistake. One must know that Wen Xueqi was in charge of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang and had seen too many men's ugly side, so how could it be so simple to make her fall in love with someone?

Not to mention, Lin Qing's heart belonged to someone, while Wen Xueqi's beauty was beautiful, so she was not the target of Lin Qing.

Of course, Lin Qing had thought of this before, but human desires were infinite. If one was controlled by desire, one could no longer be called a human, but a beast.

Love is a magical thing, but it is also a selfish thing. Don't think about letting a woman who loves you know that you have other women outside, and then you will not feel resentment, but you will know how to live in harmony with them. That is not magnanimity, that is already a saint, do you believe that the woman who loves you is a saint?

This was true for women and even more so for men.

Remembering the vow he had made to Lin Xuexian under the Hibiscus Tree, he said, "If I ever achieve anything in the future, I will make you my bride. I am willing to give you my heart and I will not part with you."

Since he had already chosen Lin Xue Xian, the reality wouldn't allow any other women to be hidden in Lin Qing's heart. Love was sacred, it couldn't be tainted.

Before Lin Xuexian betrayed him, there was only one person in her heart who could hide this from her. This was also what Lin Qing had insisted on doing.

All these thoughts passed in an instant, but as Lin Qing did not speak, the atmosphere became more ambiguous. Wen Xueqi lowered her head while Lin Qing pondered. In this silent environment, one could even hear each other's breathing.

Lin Qing could even smell the delicate fragrance of a virgin. That was the natural scent that Wen Xueqi herself gave off, and it was definitely not something that could be evaporated by perfume.

As she came back to her senses, Lin Qing seemed to feel that something was off between them. Coughing, she said, "Deacon Wen, may I trouble you to lead the way? I would like to see what kind of person this old friend is."

Hearing Lin Qing's words, Wen Xueqi's heart relaxed. To be honest, when facing Lin Qing, Wen Xueqi couldn't help but discover that she was attracted to him. Although Wen Xueqi didn't think she was in love with Lin Qing, Wen Xueqi didn't deny that she had good feelings for her.

After all, Lin Qing was a rather outstanding man, and outstanding men would often attract the gazes of women. Just like beautiful women would always attract the gazes of men, it wasn't strange that Lin Qing had a favorable impression of her.

"Yes, Branch Lord." Wen Xueqi cupped her fist, and then gracefully strode forward.

Seeing this, Lin Qing followed closely. Perhaps because of the awkward atmosphere from before, the two of them did not say anything on the way.

With nothing else to do, Lin Qing's gaze couldn't help but fall on Wen Xueqi's back, her butt swaying. As Wen Xueqi moved along, it seemed to carry an indescribable charm.

Seeing this, Lin Qing's heart immediately tightened. She silently recited the Moral Scripture in her heart, not daring to look at Wen Xueqi's figure again.

After about half an hour, Lin Qing arrived in front of a luxurious manor along with Wen Xueqi. The signboard in front of the manor was inscribed with the words "Spring Embroidery Restaurant".

There was a row of beautiful women standing in front of the door. Their eyes were filled with hidden emotions, some of them were delicate and touching, and some of them looked like proud goddesses. They couldn't help but feel a sense of conquest.

Unlike most brothel ladies who wore revealing clothes that they would like to disguise, the women from the Red Embroidery Restaurant had covered their bodies tightly even though their clothes were missing something. From the outside, they didn't look like the Spring Pavilion.

When she saw Lin Qing's gaze on the women in front of the door, Wen Xueqi couldn't help but frown. She also didn't know why, but she suddenly felt angry in her heart as she thought to herself, "Men are really the same type of people. They look gentle, but secretly they have many dirty thoughts."

"Does Branch Lord Lin have any ideas about these women? If the Branch Lord needs them, Xueqi will arrange them for you." Although she had too many thoughts in her mind, Wen Xueqi still smiled sweetly and said.

"Deacon Wen has spoken too much. I only have some doubts." Lin Qing glanced at Wen Xueqi, seemingly seeing through her thoughts. She bitterly laughed and could not help but explain.

"Oh, I don't know what Branch Lord Lin is suspicious about, maybe this little girl can help you dispel your doubts." Hearing this, Wen Xue had a disdainful look in her eyes. A man really didn't mean what he said. He was clearly having a different mindset, but on the surface he seemed a different type of thoughts, so she couldn't help but ridicule him.

After giving Wen Xueqi a strange look, Lin Qing finally said, "I remember that this Red Embroidery Restaurant seems to be the property of the Tiger Gang. But from the looks of it, this place does not look like a brothel."

Looking at Lin Qing, she couldn't help but say with a charming smile, "If you want it, you might as well not ask it. Most men eat the pot while looking at the nefarious people in the bowl. Even though there is a beautiful wife in the family, they still come to this place to make a name for themselves.

This action made it so that the men who came to this place could not easily eat it. Using this man's mentality, he could naturally make them act like idiots and spend all their money.

Lin Qing embarrassedly touched her nose. As a fellow male, when she heard Wen Xueqi's words, she also did not know what to do. Although she knew that Wen Xueqi's words were not directed at her, she also felt her face turn red.

Looking at Lin Qing's expression, Wen Xueqi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her delicate body trembled, revealing her beautiful figure.

After a moment, Wen Xueqi finally reacted. She cupped her fist and said, "That man in black is in this Spring Embroidery Building. I wonder when will the Branch Lord meet him?"

"Right now, let's go in through the back door to avoid any disturbances." Lin Qing restrained her emotions for a moment before she spoke out her thoughts.

"Alright, then let's head this way," Wen Xueqi softly replied before she circled around the courtyard and arrived at the back door of the Red Embroidery Building.

The back door was short and couldn't be compared to the front door of the Red Embroidery Building. Lin Qing didn't care about this. She waited for Wen Xueqi to enter before following closely behind.
