Chapter 467

"I will do my best to help you find her as soon as possible. Just wait for my good news!"

This could also let Yukino leave Lin Ye sooner and return to her own life and studies sooner.

"The way you say that makes it sound like you weren't planning to look seriously before."

"How could that be!"

Haruno said with a brilliant smile, "One last question: is she pretty?"

"Prettier than you."

Haruno gritted her teeth.

"And compared to Yukino?"

"Both are prettier than you."

"I'll bite you to death."

Haruno lunged directly at him, opening her mouth to take a fierce bite on Lin Ye's shoulder.

Lin Ye raised his hand and gave Haruno's butt a heavy slap, which made a crisp 'smack' sound.

"Wuwu..."

But she still lunged onto Lin Ye and bit down. However, through his clothes, Lin Ye didn't feel anything at all.

"Your mother is here."

"Heh,"

Would she believe that?

How could she possibly believe that?

Haruno didn't move, and even entangled herself tighter.

"Haruno."

But the next second, a calm female voice traveled across the courtyard and reached her ears. Haruno trembled all over, jolted by a sudden shock.

Damn it,

She really did come!

Haruno's body stiffened as she slowly stood up. She glanced over and saw her mother's figure. The gloomy appearance, as if coming from an abyss, made her feel terrible.

'Tap, tap...'

Wooden clogs stepping on pebbles made a crisp sound.

Yukino's mother walked over.

Haruno was trembling with fear.

Her mother had seen such an intimate scene between her and Lin Ye in private; what was she supposed to do now!

Even Haruno, a social butterfly, didn't know how to handle this.

Facing Yukino's mother, she was inherently in a weak position.

"Excuse me, ma'am. I just made a bet and a joke with Miss Haruno. I didn't expect Miss Haruno to take it seriously and actually hug me."

Haruno was stunned. Lin Ye was actually explaining for her and taking the blame!

"..."

Yukino's mother glanced at her eldest daughter. Dressed in a kimono, she appeared full of authority at this moment. "Haruno, is that so?"

"Mother, I'm sorry. I lost my sense of propriety. It won't happen again."

Haruno immediately lowered her head and apologized.

She was certain her mother didn't believe it at all; this was just giving her a way out so the matter could pass.

"Haruno, you cannot lose your sense of propriety. You are a daughter of the Yukinoshita family and will inherit the Yukinoshita family in the future. Lin-kun will very likely become Yukino's husband in the future, which is to say, your brother-in-law. You need to be mindful of boundaries and distance."

This reminder was already very clear.

"I understand, Mother."

"I've let Lin-kun see something embarrassing,"

"You're too kind. It was my fault. The content of the bet shouldn't have involved physical contact. It was my fault."

Yukino's mother looked at her eldest daughter and continued, "Go back and rest early."

"Mm."

Yukino's mother greeted Lin Ye and then left.

After a long while, Haruno let out a long sigh of relief. "Lin-kun, you're so good! You actually helped me out of a tight spot."

"You're my collaborator. If I don't help you, who would I help?"

"I'm moved. Why don't you marry me? Don't be with Yukino anymore. I understand the human heart better than Yukino."

Lin Ye raised his hand and pointed, which made Haruno's face turn pale instantly. She looked over cautiously in fear, but saw nothing at all.

"A bird flew by."

"..."

This was definitely targeting her on purpose, wanting to see her scared and ugly side!

"Lin-kun, I want to bite you to death."

"If you aren't afraid of your mother coming back, feel free to bite."

Lin Ye even proactively extended his hand, signaling Haruno to bite as she pleased.

Haruno looked, raised her hand to hold Lin Ye's hand, and then she opened her mouth, bared her teeth, and finally... licked it.

That touch of softness made Lin Ye's heart tremble subconsciously.

This girl doesn't play by the rules either!

"Hahaha..."

Haruno laughed out loud. "I'm leaving. I'm going to sleep hugging Yukino tonight, making you envious."

"Goodnight!"

Seeming afraid that Lin Ye would give her butt another heavy slap, Haruno immediately dropped the sentence and ran away, her figure quickly disappearing around the corner of the backyard.

Only Lin Ye was left standing in place.

He looked up at the deep starry sky above. The evening breeze blew past, brushing against his skin, and he slowly let out a breath.

Being invited here, the only thing that exceeded his expectations was Yukinoshita Yukino's answer and choice.

"Go back, wash up, and sleep."

After looking around to confirm the direction, Lin Ye walked toward the guest bedroom.

A while later, just as he turned the corner of the corridor, he saw a servant of the Yukinoshita mansion waiting in front of his bedroom door.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

After noticing Lin Ye, she immediately greeted him respectfully. "Will you be taking a bath tonight? If so, I will lead the way for you."

"Sure."

"This way, please."

The maid led the way in front and soon brought Lin Ye to a private shower room.

"Mr. Lin, these are your clothes. Please place the clothes you take off here, and I will wash and dry them and place them at your door before you wake up tomorrow morning."

The maid reached out and pointed to the white laundry basket at the door.

"Sure, sorry for the trouble."

Lin Ye didn't refuse.

"You're too kind."

She respectfully left first.

Lin Ye took off his coat, long pants, and other clothes, placed them in the laundry basket, and began to bathe.

'Splash...'

Hot water kept flowing down, and the shower room was filled with white, hazy mist.

Soon, Lin Ye soaked into the bathtub. After the warm water wrapped around his whole body, he couldn't help but let out a breath.

"This feels really good."

Every cell in his body seemed to be cheering.

A sound came from outside; it was the sound of clothes being taken away.

"The service at the Yukinoshita house is thorough. If there were a massage too..."

"Mr. Lin, I wonder if you need a body scrub."
