The retired man went into the wrong book, and his beautiful husband loved him

"Rumors are indeed misleading." Lin Qiqi couldn't help but sigh.

Yun Qing paused as he was about to lower the bed curtains: "Hmm? What's the rumor?"

"Rumor has it that the eldest son of the Yun family is a sickly person who is unskilled in both civil and military matters, with a perverse personality, gloomy and irritable." Lin Qiqi lifted Yun Qing's chin and took a closer look. "This is completely inconsistent with my husband."

Yun Qing chuckled softly and reached out to stroke Lin Qiqi's face: "If it wasn't you who married me, the rumors would probably be true."

Lin Qiqi was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled. She remembered that apart from the time at the Cold Pond, the two of them had no previous interactions. But looking at Young Master Yun's expression, it seemed as if he was deeply in love with Miss Lin.

If so, how would he feel if he knew that the real Miss Lin had passed away?

It’s my fault that I was seduced by her beauty and had no idea about the past between the two of us.

Lin Qiqi lowered her eyes, her expression gloomy, and she felt vaguely uncomfortable in her heart.

Yun Qing noticed that her mood suddenly dropped. As smart as he was, he immediately figured out the crux of the matter: did she think that the person she loved was the former Miss Lin?

For so many years, he had been watching Lin Qiqi's every move. He was very sure that the Lin Qiqi of the past three years was not the Lin Qiqi he knew. He didn't know what the problem was, nor did he know how such a bizarre thing could happen.

Back then, by the cold pond, he had rescued Lin Qiqi. The little girl had said she came for him, but her soul was unstable and she might be expelled from the heavens at any moment. As expected, Miss Lin seemed to have lost her mind, her condition fluctuating, and her temper had become frightening.

Later, Lin Qiqi would visit him intermittently, confessing many things and telling him many strange stories from otherworldly realms. However, the person would suddenly change. Sometimes, while they were secretly meeting in the mountains, the person around them would change, becoming Miss Lin, who stared at him coldly and irritably. Fortunately, Lin Qiqi had made many meticulous arrangements. Even without her true spirit, her subordinates managed her various businesses in an orderly manner.

Three years ago, Lin Qiqi came back again and only told him to wait for her, saying that this time the problem could be completely solved, and then she never showed up again.

In his previous life, Yun Qing never saw his Lin Qiqi until his death.

Master Jiuyun once told him to wait patiently. When the time is right, the person he is waiting for will come back. Before that, he just needs to protect Miss Lin.

The unintentional little gesture of the person in front of him made him sure that the person he was waiting for had returned, but she seemed to have forgotten.

Yun Qing is not the kind of person who dwells on things. If there is a problem, it must be solved.

He reached out his arm around Lin Qiqi, his right hand reaching for her earlobe, rubbing it like her: "When you're upset, you tend to rub your ears unconsciously." He leaned over and whispered in Lin Qiqi's ear: "Miss Lin doesn't have this habit."

Lin Qiqi's eyes widened in shock. Did he know? Did he know that she wasn't the real Miss Lin?

Yun Qing looked at Lin Qiqi with a smile, turned around, took out a sandalwood box from the secret compartment at the head of the bed and handed it to Lin Qiqi, motioning her to open it and take a look.

Lin Qiqi opened the box, and inside was... a pair of rings! A pair of jade rings polished with red jade.

Yun Qing took out the smaller ring and put it on Lin Qiqi's ring finger. "I didn't find the diamond thing you mentioned. I also tried the ring setting you drew, but it wasn't hard enough. I polished this pair of rings myself. Qiqi, do you like them?"

Lin Qiqi's mind was in a state of confusion. She had no recollection of it. It could be said that she had been on the road doing various tasks and had lost a lot of her memories.

However, the unconscious ear-rubbing habit is indeed a sign of her being irritated. But how can we be sure that others don't have this habit?

"Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?" Lin Qiqi looked at Yun Qing suspiciously. Had she really been here before and bumped into Yun Qing? Otherwise, how would he know about the diamond and wedding ring? Or had another time traveler appeared here before?

"No!" Yun Qing said firmly, taking out another box from the secret compartment. "You said that if you come back, you will still be Lin Qiqi."

Lin Qiqi opened another box and unfolded a piece of paper, revealing a picture of a diamond ring, a crown-like design common in later generations. There were also notes next to it, explaining the material and forging method.

This word... is indeed Lin Qiqi's.

Lin Qiqi was confused for a moment. She closed the drawing and looked at Yun Qing carefully, but still couldn't remember anything.

"I'm sorry, I really don't remember these, but this picture and the words on it seem to be mine." Lin Qiqi lowered her head, feeling guilty.

Yun Qing shook his head and took the person into his arms: "It doesn't matter, as long as you come back, everything will be fine."

After saying that, she stretched out her hand aggrievedly: "Qiqi won't let me put the ring on it?"

Lin Qiqi laughed, this devil! But she still reached out and picked up the ring, reverently putting it on Yun Qing's ring finger.

The size is just right.

Lin Qiqi looked down at the two rings, her heart surging with heat.

If what Yunqing said was true, she had forgotten their past and their promise, and Yunqing had been waiting for her all these years, still unsure if she would be able to come back. Just thinking about it made her devastated.

Lin Qiqi thought again of the gift Sister Qin had mentioned. Perhaps Sister Qin knew everything, hence the arrangement. It was just that something unexpected had happened, and that 7086's book-crossing had intersected and intruded, so the plot and the people were all messed up. It seemed like she had to find time to let that system out of the dark room and question it thoroughly.

Seeing Lin Qiqi in a daze again, Yun Qing pinched her nose and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Qiqi came back to her senses and changed the subject: "Are we going to have tea tomorrow? I don't know much about your family situation, so can you tell me about it?"

Yun Qing kissed Lin Qiqi and said, "Don't worry too much. The Yun family is currently small, and all the uncles and aunts are out of town. Tomorrow you'll only see your grandmother, father, stepmother, and my stepmother's two children."

"Besides, my stepmother has finally managed this big marriage exchange. She will definitely not act up tomorrow and will ensure that the tea ceremony goes smoothly, maintaining her image as a loving mother."

"What about your mother?" Lin Qiqi asked.

Yun Qing's eyes wandered for a moment: "Maybe he is no longer in this world."

"Maybe?" Lin Qiqi was puzzled. Rumors circulated that Lord Yun's first wife had died in an accident, leading him to marry his current wife. But judging by Yun Qing's tone, that didn't seem to be the case.

"My mother's whereabouts are unknown. She fell off a cliff and her body was never found. After she disappeared, I was sent to Nanping to be fostered at my maternal grandparents' home. I only came back once every two or three years. It wasn't until I was sixteen that I officially returned home."

"When I was young, I saw a letter of promise written by my father in my grandfather's study. It clearly stated that he would only marry my mother in this life and would never take a concubine. Even if my mother asked for a divorce in the future, my father would not marry another one."

"It shows how much effort my good father put into marrying my mother. I once thought he was truly in love, but what happened?"

"My second brother is only half a year younger than me, so Qiqi thinks, did my mother really have an accident?" Yun Qing said lightly.

Lin Qiqi pursed her lips. She didn't expect the truth to be like this.

If there really is a letter of commitment, and Lord Yun wants to marry her, he can only save face by losing his wife.

This is really worth pondering.

"Let's find our mother together." Lin Qiqi held Yun Qing's hand. "At least we should see her alive or her body, right?"

Yun Qing smiled and agreed: "Okay! That will be hard work for Qiqi."

"Where is grandma? Does she have a good temper?" Lin Qiqi continued to ask.

"I'm not close to her, nor am I familiar with her, but she is a very disciplined person, very methodical, and a bit stubborn."

"Qiqi, don't worry too much about this family. I am willing to treat them as my family, and they are the ones who deserve it." Yun Qing's eyes turned cold.

The Yun family insisted on taking him home because of his maternal family's support and the hidden power he held. However, Master Yun hadn't yet confirmed that Qiyun Pavilion was his. Unexpectedly, a mistake two years ago had caused Master Yun to doubt him. This was truly bad news.
