Chapter 69: The Despicable Bad Woman

Alecino's tone was firm. She looked at Fernina with a sharp gaze and said slowly:

"Sorry, if you want to stay in the Hearth House, you must abide by my rules. Everyone here has their own responsibilities, whether it is Lin Anyi or you. There is no exception."

She continued to explain: "Lin Anyi's housekeeping work is enough for him to complete alone. As for you, I will arrange for you to study with Linnet for a period of time."

"What? Why is this?" Fernina's face sank, and a trace of disappointment and confusion flashed in her eyes. Her voice was obviously dissatisfied. Her original intention of coming here was to reunite with Lin Anyi. If she couldn't live with him, what was the point of her being here?

Alecino noticed Fernina's emotional fluctuations, and her tone softened slightly. She said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, I'm not a devil. Outside of working hours, I will naturally allow you two to reunite."

People like to compromise. Fernina, who thought she had no chance to reunite with Lin Anyi, couldn't help but feel much better after hearing this. She nodded helplessly, with a hint of weakness in her voice:

"Okay, that's it." Although it was reluctant, it also showed that Fernina accepted it.

"Fufu, you are so confused. How can you really agree to that woman's request?" Lin Anyi frowned, looking a little anxious and puzzled. He looked at Funina, his voice full of worry.

Funina leaned gently in Lin Anyi's arms, with a helpless and gentle look in her eyes. She said softly: "But, I just want to see you..."

Fufu's voice was soft and made people soften their hearts. Facing Funina's coquettish appearance, Lin Anyi couldn't get angry. He sighed, with a helpless tone:

"Alas, there is really no need to do this..."

Fernina noticed the despair in Lin Anyi's words, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help asking: "Anyi, why do you say that? Is it really dangerous to stay in the Hearth House?"

Lin Anyi was shocked when he heard this, worried that Fernina had noticed something. He quickly covered it up and said:

"No, no, I just think you are always afraid of Alechino. There is no need to force yourself to come here."

Fernina looked at Lin Anyi's eyes. She could feel his worry and fear, which made her more determined in her decision. She gently stroked Lin Anyi's face and said softly:

"I know you are worried about me, but I am more worried about you. Since we are already here, we have to face it together, right?"

"As for that bad woman Alechino... Humph, of course I am afraid, but I am more afraid that you will stay here alone and that bad woman will do something to you."

Fernina hugged tighter. The worry and determination revealed in Funina's words made Lin Anyi feel more guilty, and his face turned pale. Fortunately, Funina's face was buried in his chest at this time, so she didn't see his painful expression. Otherwise, even the silly Fufu would definitely find something strange.

After this long silence, Lin Anyi's throat moved slightly, and his voice was low and full of emotion:

"Fufu... I love you."

Every word was heavy with his emotions and self-blame. It was because of the ruthless manipulation of Alechino in the past few days, and even his own acquiescence. When Lin Anyi said "I love you" to Funina again, he felt hypocritical and dirty.

Funina felt Lin Anyi's trembling. She raised her head slightly, looked into his eyes, full of concern and confusion:

"Anyi, what's wrong with you? Is there something you can't say?"

Her voice was gentle and full of worry. Lin Anyi didn't dare to let Funina find out that he was guilty, so when she raised her head, Lin Anyi quickly sealed her doubts and anxiety with a kiss. He kissed her tightly, trying to hide his uneasiness and guilt in this way.

"Well... Anyi, I love you too~" Funina's voice was full of tenderness and sweetness. Her arms were wrapped around Lin Anyi's neck, and she couldn't help but respond to his deep affection.

In this brief breathing gap, Lin Anyi hugged Funina tightly again and whispered in her ear:

"Don't worry, Fufu, you will always be the most important one in my heart."

Although his words were full of love, he was complicated and struggling deep in his heart. At the moment when the couple embraced each other affectionately, Alecino was standing at the corner, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a meaningful smile.

"What a good relationship~" Her eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Today, maybe it was because of Fernina's arrival, but Alechino didn't take advantage of him too much during work. Such behavior undoubtedly made Lin Anyi feel relieved.

It seems that [Servant], as the executive of the Fatui, really kept his promise.

Time passed in a flash, and the busy day ended quietly. Dinner time came unknowingly. Just as Lin Anyi was about to relax in the dormitory, Alechino's voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Anyi, are you in the room?"

Lin Anyi didn't think too much and answered casually:

"The door is not locked, servant sister, come in."

With a "click," the door was gently pushed open. However, to Lin Anyi's surprise, the first person he saw was not Alechino, but his girlfriend Fernina.

"Why is Fernina here too?" Lin Anyi looked at the person in front of him in surprise, with ripples in his heart.

Fernina's brows were furrowed, and she was obviously displeased with the address just now:

"Anyi, what did you call Alechino just now?" There was a hint of blame and confusion in her voice.

Lin Anyi was speechless for a moment and felt even more guilty in his heart:

"Ah, this..." He forced a smile to try to ease the awkward atmosphere, but his eyes were nowhere to go, and he looked more and more cramped.

Alechino's voice rang again, breaking the stalemate in the room. She walked into Lin Anyi's dormitory with a smug smile:

"I asked him to call her that. After all, calling sister is much more intimate than calling employer, isn't it?"

Her tone was relaxed, as if she was enjoying the opportunity to make Fernina embarrassed.

When Fernina heard this, she was filled with dissatisfaction and helplessness, but she did not dare to confront Alechino directly. She could only mutter in her heart:

"What a despicable bad woman..."
