Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

The original owner's manor remains the same as when he left, without any change.

The surrounding flowers, plants and trees are lush and green, and the colorful flowers sway gently in the breeze.

The emerald green lawn is like a soft green velvet carpet, without a trace of clutter.

Quan Jiuxi sat elegantly on the horsehide sofa, her eyes slightly closed, and her beautiful face looked particularly charming in the soft light.

Her creamy skin exuded a faint luster, and her slender fingers rested on the armrest, tapping rhythmically, as if she was thinking about something.

Yin is trimming flowers and plants in the garden.

A tall and upright figure shuttles among the flowers, holding scissors, with a focused and serious expression and skillful movements. Every time of trimming seems to be giving new life to the flowers and plants.

[Sir, the male protagonist is here.]

Quan Jiuxi hummed softly and slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes are like a deep lake, clear and mysterious, and once you fall into them, it is difficult to extricate yourself.

She raised her chin slightly and looked at the person who came.

"Doctor, you are finally back. You don't know how worried I am about your safety. Thank God."

As Owen spoke, he crossed his arms over his chest in the country's unique prayer gesture.

His face was filled with a flattering smile, but his eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look Quan Jiuxi in the eye.

Quan Jiuxi looked at him with a half-smile, "Really? I heard that the research institute is going to be yours."

The voice was as calm as water, yet it carried an invisible pressure.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, as if he could see directly into Owen's heart.

Owen smiled unnaturally, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.

"How is that possible? I'm your assistant, just helping you manage the business for a while. Now that you're back, of course..."

His eyes were evasive and his hands were rubbing unconsciously.

"Owen."

Quan Jiuxi whispered his name in a low voice, and looked at the figure of Yin in the distance with indifferent eyes.

"Doctor, you trust me."

Owen said anxiously, following Quan Jiuxi's sight to see Yin busy, he took a step back instantly, fear all over his face,

"It! It! Shit! It's too dangerous! Why is it here? Doctor, be careful!"

Owen spoke incoherently, his body trembling slightly, and his teeth chattering.

But the excitement in his eyes could not escape Quan Jiuxi's eyes.

Really...

He doesn't know whether to live or die.

A mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth as she quietly examined the man in front of her who seemed loyal but actually had ulterior motives.

“Has anyone ever said that people here are really bad at pretending?”

Quan Jiuxi opened his red lips slightly, and his words were like a sharp blade, instantly cutting off Owen's endless stream of words.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of amusement and disdain.

Owen looked over in confusion, his face full of bewilderment, obviously not understanding the deep meaning of Quan Jiuxi's words at all.

What do you mean by people here?

Quan Jiuxi laughed out loud, his laughter was crisp and pleasant, but also contained a chilling mockery, "Idiot."

She raised her delicate chin slightly, and her fair face looked even more beautiful under the interweaving of light and shadow. Her eyes were full of contempt, as if she was looking down on an insignificant ant.

Such stupid humans can only deceive even stupider mermaids.

"The way you look at Yin is really the same as Vivian's." Quan Jiuxi said lightly, his eyes as calm as water.

Owen's brain seemed to reconnect, and he struggled to come back to his senses from the extreme excitement of seeing Yin.

When he met Quan Jiuxi's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate his soul, he simply stopped pretending, and his originally flattering face instantly became hideous and distorted.

"Doctor, it seems you know everything. In that case, give me number 001 immediately."

Owen took a step forward, stretched out his hand and asked eagerly, his arms trembling slightly with nervousness, the muscles on his face tense, and his eyes full of greed and eagerness.

"I do know a lot, for example, a few days ago at Vivian's villa, I remember I didn't kill her, but she disappeared. Where did she go?

Also, there was a mermaid in the research institute who died mysteriously. The blood I drew couldn’t have caused it. What did you say then?

They escape…"

Quan Jiuxi spoke slowly, and every word hit Owen's heart like a hammer.

There was a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth, and her posture was calm yet full of oppression.

“You! How do you know?”

Owen widened his eyes in disbelief, his eyeballs almost popping out of his sockets, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, his body took a step back uncontrollably, he staggered and almost fell.

Quan Jiuxi looked at his face, a hint of cold sneer on his lips, "Your expression at this moment is much more real."

"Hmph, now that you know, then hand it over to me immediately. Otherwise, tomorrow the news that you're keeping a mermaid in captivity will spread throughout Lannains. Then... hmph."

Owen Xie spoke sinisterly, his eyes revealing madness and determination, as if he was about to attack Quan Jiuxi in the next second.

"Tomorrow? It'll probably be a nice day tomorrow."

Quan Jiuxi looked calm, without any emotion on his face. His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, looked at Owen calmly and firmly.

There was not a ripple in his eyes, as if he was just casually describing a very common natural phenomenon.

"what do you mean?"

Owen's brows were tightly knitted together, and the wrinkles were so deep that they looked like they could kill a fly.

His eyes were full of doubts, and he was eagerly searching for answers on Quan Jiuxi's face.

"But... maybe... there's no tomorrow for you."

Quan Jiuxi spoke slowly, her voice as soft as the breeze. As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly took out a laser gun emitting a cold light from somewhere, aimed at Owen without hesitation, and shot directly at his chest.
