Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

"It's very simple. On the one hand, I need to make money to build the manor, for my retirement, and for their wages, so I need to train some dogs that can help me when I retire."

"On the other hand, there are always some mentally unstable people who want to stop my dream."

"So I have to kill them all, kill them until there is world peace, kill them until no one wants to destroy the world anymore, then I can go back to the manor and live the life I dream of. It's that simple."

"As for whether I will destroy Mondstadt?"

"Don't worry, even if I'm not as good as those nobles before, I won't be worse than them. After all, I still need to make money off you sustainably."

Chapter Thirty-Eight Barbara: My mother actually...

More than half a month later.

After watching Rosalia leave with her report, Lin Jiu'an looked at the news about "Doctor" on the table.

He has two pieces of good news.

The first piece of good news is that "Doctor" has entered Mondstadt territory and is estimated to arrive in Mondstadt in another two or three days.

The second piece of good news is that Rosalind's promised evil eye hasn't arrived yet.

Lin Jiu'an was speechless at the stingy woman, but he didn't urge Rosalin. Anyway, if she turned against him, he could just run away. The worst that could happen was that he would die.

So what if someone dies? It's like nobody's ever died before.

Lin Jiu'an poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then continued working with his head down.

'Tattoo.'

"Come in."

Footsteps approached the table, followed by Frederica's voice.

"Here are the documents you requested."

Lin Jiu'an gave a faint "hmm," and after working for a while, he was about to take another sip of wine when he saw Frederica still standing there.

"Any thing else?"

“You look a little tired,” Frederica asked cautiously. “I just learned massage these past few days, would you like me to help you relax?”

"massage?"

Seeing that Lin Jiu'an seemed somewhat interested, Frederica was pleased and eagerly went behind the table.

"You don't need to move, just lean back in your chair and relax."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu'an leaned back in the sofa chair and soon felt his head resting on something soft.

Lin Jiu'an was somewhat taken aback.

What is this woman up to?

However, Frederica truly lives up to her reputation as one of Mondstadt's premier noble families. Even though her children are adults, her face is as well-maintained as that of a woman in her late twenties, and her hands are as soft and delicate as a young girl's.

Lin Jiu'an hadn't experienced the sensation of being massaged by a woman's cool, soft hands in a long time, and coupled with that special 'pillow,' it was indeed very relaxing...

······

at the same time.

A slender, petite figure was standing not far from the Knights of Favonius.

Barbara hid under her oversized coat, looking hesitantly at the Knights of Favonius.

She couldn't sleep again.

To be precise, she hasn't had a proper rest since Lin Jiu'an came to the church and took Rosalia away.

That day at church, Lin Jiu'an's behavior made her feel like a stranger, and she tossed and turned, unable to sleep no matter what.

He clearly treated her like a younger sister in their past life, showing her meticulous care...

She finds it hard to accept the unfamiliar attitude she now receives.

However, she didn't dare to come to Lin Jiu'an. She just wanted to go out for a walk to get some fresh air and relax so she wouldn't have to think about those troublesome things. Who knew that as she walked, she would suddenly find herself in the Knights Order.

"Why don't we go see him?"

Barbara was startled by her own audacity as soon as the idea came to her, but the thought lingered in her mind like a devil's whisper.

And then I think about my insomnia these past few days.

Lin Jiu'an and Rosalia might be doing something shameless at this moment.

Barbara was suddenly filled with courage.

"Barbara, you can do it!"

Trying to bolster her courage, Barbara decided to ask him why he was ignoring her.

Then she walked towards the window of Lin Jiu'an's house.

It wasn't that Barbara was afraid to confront him directly; she just felt she should check if he was in the house or doing something important first, as it wouldn't be good to disturb him.

With this in mind, Barbara came to the window of Lin Jiu'an's office.

Looking through the huge floor-to-ceiling window at the scene inside, Barbara's eyes widened in surprise.

"Mom...Mom?!"

Inside the office.

Barbara watched as Lin Jiu'an leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

And her own mother and Qin's mother.

Frederica.

She stood behind him, letting his head rest on her chest, her two small hands encircling his chest, using it as a cushion, with a gentle smile on her face that she had never seen before.

Barbara felt a 'boom' in her head, and her mind went completely blank.

So that's why Lin Jiu'an ignored him?

Did he get together with his mother?

But, but my father and mother only divorced, my father is not dead yet!

Looking at the two people in the window, their posture ambiguous, Barbara felt like her head was about to explode, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

She really wanted to go in and tell them, 'This is not allowed!', but she didn't dare to speak loudly to either of them.

"Oh, right, sister!"

Barbara's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned around and ran to find her sister, believing that her sister would make the same decision as her after learning about this.

"We must stop them!"

······

Is the "Doctor" arriving soon?

"Yes, Madam, the Doctor will arrive in Mondstadt in two days."

Rosalyn lay languidly on the luxurious purplish-red bed, a smile playing on her mature and beautiful face.

She didn't have a good impression of "Doctor" at first, but the thought of making that arrogant and damned guy suffer made Rosalyn look forward to "Doctor's" arrival.

Where is Lin Jiu'an?

"He's been going back and forth between his workplace and 'Cat's Tail Tavern' these days."

The female fools paused, glanced at the evil eye on the bedside table, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, should we give that thing to him?"

Rosalyn's smile faded slightly, and she let out a cold snort.

"Why give it to him? It would be better if he died."

The Fools suddenly realized, "Sir, you deliberately agreed to lull him into a false sense of security, letting him stay in Mondstadt. Once he falls into the hands of the 'Doctor,' he'll have to spill everything?"

"Your Excellency is wise."

Rosalyn's face darkened.

What on earth are you making up?

However, seeing her subordinates' flattering expressions, Rosalind also felt a bit bored.

What exactly am I dragging on?

Are you angry with him because of the time he choked you and poured wine all over your head?

childish!

It's nothing more than a negotiation tactic.

Given his status, would he dare to do that to her a second time in his life? You're kidding! She's a "lady," the eighth executive officer of the Fools!

"Alright, I need to rest now. You may leave."

After her subordinates left, Rosalind picked up the Evil Eye from the table, got out of bed, dressed, and left the room, heading towards the Knights of Favonius.

As always, he went straight into the Knights Order.

As Rosalina approached Lin Jiu'an's office, she saw Qin and Barbara walking towards her in a hurry.

Rosalyn paid no attention to the woman who was no longer the acting leader. She reached out to grab the doorknob and open the door, but bumped into her other hand.

The hands that play the zither.

Rosalind, Jean, and Barbara: "?"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Do you think I wouldn't dare kill you, Rosalyn?

office.

Lin Jiu'an opened his eyes and slightly raised his head from the 'pillow'.

Looking at the doorway and feeling the active ice and wind elements outside, a murderous glint flashed in Lin Jiu'an's eyes as he was woken up. He hated nothing more than someone shouting and yelling outside while he was sleeping.

"Everyone, come in!"

Lin Jiu'an's angry voice echoed out of the office.

The elemental fluctuations outside the door stopped abruptly. A few seconds later, the door opened, and Rosalyn and Jean walked in.

Rosalyn was alright, except her hair was a little messy.

Qin, on the other hand, looked much more disheveled, with some bloody scratches left by ice crystals on her face, hands, and clothes.

"what happened?"

Rosalyn said, "I came to see you, but she wouldn't let me in."

Seeing Lin Jiu'an staring at her with a gloomy expression, Qin, knowing she was in the wrong, lowered her head in fear.

"I came to see you, and I happened to see that she came in without announcing herself."

"what's up?"

Qin pursed her lips, glanced at her mother standing beside her, and said nothing.

"So you just came to me because you had nothing better to do, and then you got into a fight with her?"

Seeing Qin's silent reaction, Lin Jiu'an smiled.

"I'm your boss, not your father."

"If you have nothing better to do, just tell me, and I'll send you to guard the border in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. Don't go looking for trouble for me all the time, understand?"

Qin felt as if she heard a sound like glass shattering.

After the trial of Lin Jiu'an that day, and after hearing about the crimes and true colors of those nobles.

She then realized that she had misunderstood him.

Perhaps he is right.

Not long after that, she was suddenly released from confinement by her mother. The reason was that Lin Jiu'an gave her an important position in the new 'Knight Order'. Heaven knows how happy she was at that time.

Perhaps Lin Jiu'an is at least not so angry with her anymore?

There's still a chance to start over.

Although Lin Jiu'an hadn't contacted her these past few days, she assumed it was because he was too busy with work, or perhaps because there was still some distance between them. Qin planned to wait until he finished his work and she finished hers before taking the initiative to ask him out for a drink and apologize.

Marriage, children, and the revival of Mondstadt together...
