Qin Xiaoya's intuition was still quite sharp. Upon hearing Yang Yuxin's words, her first instinct was that Ryan was problematic.
Ceremony—such a formal and noble term, yet in certain contexts, the use of specific rituals carried an air of evil and terror.
“Yang Yuxin, please elaborate a bit more,” Qin Xiaoya said solemnly.
Although she was quite displeased with the relationship between Yang Yuxin and Ryan, she felt compelled to intervene in Yang Yuxin's affairs.
Yang Yuxin fell into her memories and recounted the events in detail. As Qin Xiaoya listened to Yang Yuxin's thorough description, her expression grew increasingly grave.
Qin Xiaoya had basically confirmed that Yang Yuxin's current situation was the result of Ryan's family meddling.
“Master, I suspect that Yang Yuxin's situation is related to Ryan's family,” Qin Xiaoya tentatively asked Jiang Chen.
“It is indeed related. From now on, she just needs to stay in Huaxia and avoid any entanglements with Ryan's family,” Jiang Chen replied casually, showing little concern.
Qin Xiaoya nodded; the Master was right. To avoid this issue was quite simple—Yang Yuxin just needed to refrain from contacting Ryan in the future.
“Yang Yuxin, did you hear what the Master said? If you want to live well, you must avoid any contact with Ryan and preferably not go to the United States again,” Qin Xiaoya warned.
“Really? Is it truly related to Ryan? I don’t believe he would harm me,” Yang Yuxin said incredulously.
“If he wanted to harm you, would he wear it on his face?” Qin Xiaoya scoffed.
“That’s certainly not the case, but he really isn’t that kind of person. I’ve known him for several years; I understand him well,” Yang Yuxin insisted.
“Ha! How well do you really know him? They say women in love have low IQs; now I see it firsthand. If you truly understood him, you wouldn’t be upset about his past infidelity. You don’t know him at all, Yang Yuxin. Let me advise you one last time: if you want to stay alive, avoid going to the United States and have no ties with Ryan,” Qin Xiaoya said coldly.
Qin Xiaoya was certain that if Yang Yuxin disobeyed and sought out Ryan again, she would be ensnared by his charm once more, and by then, the Master would no longer come to her rescue.
Seeing Qin Xiaoya’s displeased demeanor, Yang Yuxin dared not speak further, but she feared she could not resist meeting Ryan again.
Those in love often risk everything for each other; thus, Qin Xiaoya’s warnings could hardly deter Yang Yuxin.
“Qin Xiaoya, don’t worry; we will keep a close watch on Yang Yuxin and ensure she has no contact with Ryan,” Yang Yuxin’s parents quickly assured her.
Qin Xiaoya glanced at Yang Yuxin with a half-smile and said, “Uncle, Auntie, I’m just afraid you won’t be able to keep an eye on her.”
Though barely thirty years old, Qin Xiaoya had a keen insight into human nature; seeing Yang Yuxin’s expression made her aware of her thoughts.
“If we can’t keep an eye on her, I’ll lock her up at home,” Yang Yuxin’s father said sternly. Although they usually indulged their daughter, this matter was too disgraceful; if it got out, it could become a laughingstock among the elite families of the capital. When weighing family reputation against personal feelings, the choice was obvious.
If it were any other time, hearing her father say such things would have made Yang Yuxin jump up in protest; but today, aside from silently protesting in her heart and mumbling under her breath, she dared not speak out—after all, it was her trouble that had caused issues for her family and for Qin Xiaoya; she could only endure their words.
“Beep beep beep!”
Suddenly, Yang Yuxin's phone rang. She took it out and, upon seeing the caller ID, her expression changed. She quickly hung up the call.
But just a few seconds later, the phone rang again.
"Answer it; I want to see what Ryan is up to," Qin Xiaoya said, glancing at the screen and recognizing who was calling. Everyone held a prejudice against Ryan, and Yang Yuxin was reluctant to answer the call in this situation.
Just as she was about to turn off her phone, Qin Xiaoya snatched it away and put it on speakerphone.
"Hello, darling, why didn't you answer? Are you feeling better?" Ryan's voice came through the phone with a distinct American accent. Although his tone seemed to convey urgent concern, there was an underlying hint of probing.
A man who had heard about his girlfriend's illness and was on the brink of death didn't rush back from the United States to check on her; now he spoke with a tone that suggested he was testing the waters. The implications were clear.
However, Qin Xiaoya recognized Ryan's insincere tone, and even Yang Yuxin's parents sensed something off about it, but Yang Yuxin remained oblivious.
She quickly replied, "Ryan, someone just treated me, and I'm feeling much better now. There's no need for you to worry."
Qin Xiaoya listened with amusement; she figured Ryan had probably never truly cared about her friend. Yet she kept her thoughts to herself. Since Ryan had reached out, she wanted to see what he was really after.
On the other end of the line, Ryan fell silent for a few seconds before asking, "Who is so skilled that they managed to cure your illness so quickly? Wasn't your condition supposed to be dire?"
His question was even more inappropriate. Yet Yang Yuxin remained oblivious, focused solely on Ryan's concern.
"It was very serious; I almost died. But I was lucky—my best friend brought in a specialist who saved my life," Yang Yuxin explained.
"Ha, a specialist? Seems they really have some skills," Ryan replied with a cold smile.
Qin Xiaoya could no longer hold back and interjected loudly in English, "Ryan, I warn you not to have any ulterior motives towards Yang Yuxin. If I find out you're up to no good again, I won't let you off easily."
"Who are you?" Ryan's tone immediately turned sharp.
"My name is Qin Xiaoya; I'm a friend of Yang Yuxin's. I don't care who you or your family are, but if you act improperly, you'll bring ruin upon yourselves. Consider this your warning," Qin Xiaoya said firmly.
Qin Xiaoya was no longer the same as before; even when faced with mysterious and unbelievable situations, she wouldn't take them lightly because she now had the confidence to stand her ground.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Please give the phone back to Yang Yuxin; I want to speak with her," Ryan said after a long silence of ten seconds.
