"I am Lu Feng. Miss Yu asked me to help you," the man replied respectfully.

"Yu Yuetong?!" Qin Reng looked at Yu Yuetong in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief. "What exactly happened?"

Yu Yuetong felt uneasy under his gaze, her eyes darting around, and she stammered, "I...I..."

How could she explain? She didn't know why she knew Lu Feng, let alone how she got in touch with him. All she knew was that when she saw Qin Reng resolutely leave the office, a strong premonition suddenly welled up inside her. She couldn't let him take such a risk alone!

Then, as if possessed, she dialed an unfamiliar number, and the person on the other end of the line was indeed Lu Feng!

It was all so incredible, yet it actually happened!

Yu Yuetong was so frightened by Lu Feng's words that she almost bit her tongue. Her eyes widened in terror, and she stammered, "No, it's not what you think! I... I just happened to..."

"You just happened to know Lu Feng, just happened to know I was in trouble, and just happened to have him bring people to rescue me?" Qin Reng raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile, his tone carrying a hint of teasing and a subtle suspicion.

Yu Yuetong felt uneasy under his gaze and could only guiltily avoid his eyes, muttering softly, "Anyway, I just know..."

"Heh." Qin Reng chuckled lightly, not pressing the matter further, but his gaze toward Lu Feng held a newfound scrutiny and probing.

Lu Feng felt a chill run down his spine from Qin's gaze and quickly lowered his head, saying respectfully, "Mr. Qin, Madam, it's dangerous here. Please get in the car first. I will handle the rest."

Qin Reng didn't say anything, but simply put his arm around Yu Yuetong's waist and led her into the car.

Han Shuang was also rescued. She anxiously grabbed Yu Yuetong's hand, looked her up and down, and asked with concern, "Tongtong, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry," Yu Yuetong said, squeezing Han Shuang's hand in return.

She knew Han Shuang was worried that Qin Reng would discover something about her, after all, her current identity was "Qin Reng"!

"It's alright, it's alright..." Han Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes were still full of worry and complicated emotions as she looked at Yu Yuetong.

Yu Yuetong knew what she was thinking, but didn't know how to explain it, so she could only pretend not to see it.

Qin Reng sat to the side, taking in their interaction. His eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing.

On the way back to the villa, the atmosphere in the car was somewhat silent.

Han Shuang was worried that Qin Reng would discover Yu Yuetong's true identity, while Yu Yuetong was racking her brains to figure out how to explain everything. Only Qin Reng appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Lu Feng's appearance, Yu Yuetong's unusual behavior, and her statement "Anyway, I just know" all made him suspicious of Yu Yuetong's identity.

Could it be that she really isn't Yu Yuetong?

Once the thought popped into his head, it grew wildly in his heart like weeds, making it impossible for him to ignore.

He couldn't help but steal a glance at Yu Yuetong sitting next to him, only to find her with her head down, seemingly lost in thought, her brows slightly furrowed, her delicate face filled with worry and unease.

Seeing her like this, Qin Reng's heart softened inexplicably, and his original suspicions and distrust dissipated somewhat.

Forget it, whoever she is, at least for now, she is his wife, the only person he can trust.

Thinking of this, Qin Reng grasped Yu Yuetong's hand, squeezed it gently, and said in a warm tone, "Don't worry, I've got everything under control."

Yu Yuetong looked up and met his deep eyes. She felt inexplicably at ease. She grasped his hand in return, and a relaxed smile appeared on her lips. "Mm."

Seeing the smile on her face, Qin Reng felt as if something had gently struck his heart, and a strange feeling spread through him.

This feeling was warm and reassuring, making him want to get closer to her, protect her, and... possess her.

"Um, I have something to do, I'll be going now." Lu Feng, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly spoke, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the car.

Qin Reng glanced at him coldly and said in an unfriendly tone, "If something like this happens again, I can't guarantee you'll be alive to see the sun rise tomorrow."

Lu Feng trembled at his cold gaze and quickly said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, Mr. Qin, don't worry, this will never happen again!"

After saying that, he got out of the car as if he were fleeing, afraid that Qin Reng would change his mind.

Watching Lu Feng's retreating figure, Yu Yuetong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Reng turned to look at her, his tone a mixture of confusion and doting.

"It's nothing, I just think he's funny," Yu Yuetong said with a smile, but she felt relieved.

It seems that Qin Reng did not doubt her identity.

"Fun?" Qin Reng raised an eyebrow and said in a dangerous tone, "If you like, I'll catch him and let you play with him to your heart's content?"

"No, no, no! I was just kidding!" Yu Yuetong quickly waved her hand, not wanting Lu Feng to suffer because of her joke.

"That would be best." Qin Reng then looked away with satisfaction, started the car, and drove towards the villa.

However, they were unaware that the danger had only just begun...

Back at the villa, Han Shuang was still restless, holding Yu Yuetong's hand and showering her with concern. Her caring expression made it seem as if Yu Yuetong was her biological daughter. Qin Reng watched from the side, that strange feeling resurfacing in his heart.

"Mom, if you keep doing this, I'm really going to get jealous," Qin Reng said, deliberately keeping a straight face, but her tone carried a hint of coquettishness.

Han Shuang rolled her eyes at him, "You brat, all you do is talk nonsense! I was just worried about Tongtong, and you, on the other hand, had a long face the whole way, like someone owed you millions!"

Yu Yuetong was amused by the mother and son, and smiled as she tried to smooth things over, "Auntie, I'm fine. Qin Reng is just cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Please don't take it to heart."

"Tongtong is so sensible." Han Shuang patted Yu Yuetong's hand with satisfaction, then turned and glared at Qin Reng. "Look at Tongtong, and then look at you, really..."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, alright?" Qin Reng helplessly raised his hands in surrender, but in his heart he thought to himself: We're not even married yet, and he's already siding with outsiders. If I were to actually marry him, what would happen?

Thinking of this, Qin Reng's gaze towards Yu Yuetong became somewhat scrutinizing. No, he had to find an opportunity to properly test this woman!

After dinner, Yu Yuetong used a headache as an excuse and went back to her room early. Qin Reng, naturally worried about leaving her alone, followed her upstairs.

"Does your head still hurt? Should we call the family doctor to come and take a look?" Qin Reng sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched Yu Yuetong's forehead, his tone unusually gentle.

"No need, it's an old problem, I'll be fine after a rest." Yu Yuetong shook her head, subtly avoiding his touch.
