On the third day after Su Yecheng was kidnapped, she brought two jars of brightly colored and dripping flowers and placed them under the windowsill of Su Yelin's house.

Yin Lian thought about Lin'er's usual simple and elegant dressing, so she picked out the best and most suitable rouge and powder and placed them on the dressing table. She also arranged some snacks on the table, but she couldn't think of anything else she could do.

After Su Yelin finished his busy work at Zhengxin Hall, he entered his own room and saw Yinlian. Surprised that she had barged into his private chamber, he immediately became angry and scolded, "..."

"What are you doing, rascal?"

Yin Lian scratched her head and said,

"I'll give you some flowers."

Su Yelian questioned coldly:

"Who gave you the permission to barge into my room?"

Yin Lian suddenly realized that she had yet to obtain the consent of the owner of the house. She chuckled and said, "I thought Uncle Su had already agreed on your behalf."

"When did my father agree on my behalf?"

"He previously promised to let me protect you forever, which means your father agrees for me to be with you for the rest of my life. Since it's a lifetime commitment, our relationship definitely won't be defined by whether it's your house or my house..."

Su Yelin's face turned cold, saying, "You're twisting the facts. I'll go and have my father kick you out right away!"

Yin Lian immediately grabbed Su Ye Lin's hand and hurriedly said:

"Sister, please don't chase me away, alright? In the future, wherever sister is unhappy, I will do my best to make sister happy."

"I feel unhappy whenever I see you." Su Ye Lin deliberately taunted him.

Yin Lian fell silent and lowered her head, about to leave.

Su Yelin saw the flowers below the window and called out,

"Come back."

"What instructions does Sister have?" Yin Lian happily ran back.

"Move the flowers away from me."

"Big sister..." Yin Lian hesitated to move.

Su Yelin looked at the snacks on the table and said,

"Take away these pastries as well."

"Sister...please don't." Yin Lian pouted resentfully. "Flowers are so beautiful! Treats are meant as a gesture of goodwill, to be enjoyed when sister is resting..."

Su Yelin frowned when she saw Yin Lian act like a helpless little bird, but for some reason, she couldn't get angry. However, she had to teach him a lesson:

"I don't need you to take the liberty of spending money on things I don't need!"

"Where is there no need? Sister, you're being too polite!" Yin Lian laughed.

"I've already said it before, we have no relationship whatsoever. You're just shameless!" Su Yelin stamped her foot and said.

Yin Lian could only make a face and run away as fast as she could, disappearing in an instant.

Su Ye Lin sat down helplessly, holding a plate of refreshments in his hand. Lost in thought, he realized that the scoundrel was clearly attempting to invade his life!

After escaping, Yin Lian turned left and right in the backyard of the Zhengxin Hall. Suddenly, a head emerged from beside the jujube tree in the courtyard, grinning at him. He joyfully ran over and pulled out the grinning person - it turned out to be Su Yelin's junior sister, Chanyi.

"Shanyi, how did things go with my request?" Yin Lian asked eagerly.

"Don't drag on, or I'll kick you!" Shaniya forcefully released Yin Lian's hand and spun around twice. Her eyes rolled around before she said, "Give me my gratitude first, and then I'll tell you."

Yin Lian couldn't wait to take out an exquisite box from her pocket. Inside was the hairpin that Chan Yi had wanted. She held it up in her hand and shook it, saying,

"You go first, and then I'll give you the rest."

"No, give it to me first and then we'll talk," Chanyi insisted obstinately.

"No, tell me half of it first, then I will give it to you," Yan Lian insisted.

"There's no such thing as doing things halfway. If you won't pay, then forget it, I'm leaving!" Chan Yi pinched the two little braids on her shoulders and made a move to leave.

Yin Lian stopped her and handed her the box.

Shanyi took the box and opened it. Inside was a shiny butterfly hairpin. She joyfully tucked it into her bosom and as she walked, she exclaimed,

"Ling Er sister doesn't like you at all. You can go home and do whatever you like."

Yin Lian's mouth hung open, unable to close for a long time. First, there was a moment of bewilderment, followed by a sense of loss, and then anger. She rushed forward and grabbed Chanyi's clothes, hatingly saying,

"You didn't even speak up for me at all! You swindler! Give me back my things!" As he spoke, he tried to snatch the box from Chanyi's embrace.

The cicada robe turned around, with its back facing him, and said:

"How could I not have helped you? I've said that you're a rare and exceptional hero in the world, upright and full of integrity... with a... with a respected father admired by countless people..."

"Chanyi, are you praising me? Are you actually helping someone else? Except for the last sentence you said, I am not that kind of person!" Yin Lian huffed angrily.

"Oh, so you admit that you're unscrupulous and have no integrity!" Chenyi retorted, "Otherwise, I can't think of anything good to say to help you. What do you have that I can praise?"

"You... You..." Yin Lian couldn't find any other words, so she could only say, "Give me back my things!"

"What you've given me is already mine, why should I return it?" Chan Yi stuck out her tongue.

Yin Lian and Chan Yi were arguing intensely on the spot, their faces turned red and their tempers flaring, unable to resolve their conflict. Su Ye Lin, who had taken Yin Lian's folding fan, quietly stood on the sideline, watching the two spar like pecking birds.

When Yin Lian caught sight of Su Ye Lin, she whispered to Ah Ren and Ah Zhong who were sweeping the floor, saying,

After little Lin'er appeared, there's no more show to watch.

Yin Lian immediately asked them, "I just saw you in the pharmacy earlier, how did you come here now?"

"We want to clean up the backyard," Ah Ren and Ah Zhong chuckled at each other.

At this moment, Su Yelin only gave Chanyi an instruction:

"Xian'er, give the thing back to others."

Unwillingly, Chanyi prepared to hand it over to Yin Lian.

Yin Lian smiled and pushed it back, saying,

"I was just playing around with Chan Yi (Sister Cicada), so how could I expect her to return the things I gave her?"

Su Yelian cast a sharp glance at Chanyi, who hastily shoved the box into Yinlian's hands.

"There's more," Su Yelin reminded seriously.

Chan Yi was extremely unwilling to take off the bracelet from her wrist and return it to Yin Lian.

Yin Lian panicked and said to Su Ye Lin, "Sister, don't be like this…" Then she pushed away Chanyi and said, "Sister, this is not good. How can you behave like this? You're really disregarding my face!" After that, she fell to her knees and prepared to act spoiled.

Suye Lin and Chen Yi both showed embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Ah Ren and Ah Zhong laughed at each other.

"It's just an accessory. If the junior sisters don't want it, the two of us can take it!"

Su Yelin said coldly, "Mind your own business! Go back to the pharmacy and do your work!" As Ah Ren and Ah Zhong left, supporting each other, Su Yelin lightly tucked her beautiful hair behind her ear and said to Yin Lian, "Get up quickly." She then returned the folding fan to Yin Lian.

"If you insist on doing this, I will express my gratitude on behalf of my junior sister. I will repay the favor when the opportunity arises in the future."

This is the fan you left behind at Zhengxin Hall last time. I thought you wouldn't leave until it got dark, so I brought it back for you. I've been forgetting about it all this time. I apologize for my rudeness.

"Sister, why would you say such a thing? It's not at all impolite, and there's no need for you to repay me anything. It's willingly given from my heart." Yin Lian hastily waved her hand, "I have never given anything to sister before. Can sister please accept this fan?"

Su Yelin politely declined, saying,

"I can't accept something so precious..."

"Not precious, not precious..." Yin Lian suddenly remembered something and said, "Sister, wait for me to come back!" Then she hurriedly ran out.

Su Yelin was used to Yin Lian's antics, so he casually said to Chanyi:

Later, I will tell Master about this and have him punish you severely!" (Su Ye Lin has always referred to Su Qing Shui as "Master" in front of his fellow disciples).

Cicada Yi immediately pulled Su Yelin's sleeve and pitifully pleaded with a helpless and sorrowful look:

"Liner sister, spare me this time. I won't dare next time."

"Stinky brat!" Su Yelin tapped the forehead of Chengyi, scolding, "And there will be a next time. I'll tell Master about this incident along with the previous one!"

"Okay, sister." Chan Yi knew that Su Ye Lin wouldn't really report her, so she immediately ran off cheerfully.
