After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Qin Yi's disciple?

Who dares to say that? Could it be that beloved disciple?

Seeing Qin Yi pause at the door, Qin Zhao and Qin Rong exchanged frantic glances.

Meanwhile, Ji Fei had already started her commentary. [What on earth? This kind of bully is the one who confessed to Qin Yi? Looks like my cousin's judgment in choosing disciples isn't great either. But thankfully, he only sees her as a disciple. He probably never saw this side of her before. His face has turned dark.]

Inside, Wan Sitong continued to mock Zhou Rushi. "Most of the audience here came because of Qin Yi and me. They're looking forward to my performance as a prodigy. Do you really think anyone will stay patiently to watch your performance after I'm done? I'm doing you a favor by letting you switch the order. You'd better be smart about this. I'm not in a good mood today. If you mess up my performance and disappoint Qin Yi, you'll regret it!"

[Her tone is truly awful. Is this her natural disposition, or is she deliberately bullying someone to vent her anger?]

Qin Zhao and Qin Rong also felt uncomfortable listening to this, silently criticizing Qin Yi's poor judgment.

Wan Sitong continued, "Speak up! Cat got your tongue? Still not convinced? Zhou Rushi, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I could expose everything, and then you'd really—"

Before long, a hoarse female voice responded, "I... I understand."

"Hmph, you'd better."

[What? She gave in? Was she being blackmailed, or is she just scared of Qin Yi's influence? If that's the case, this disciple must have bullied many students under Qin Yi's name.]

Qin Zhao and Qin Rong also found the situation rather uninteresting.

Qin Yi couldn't take it anymore and pushed the door open, interrupting the conversation.

"Ah, Qin... Teacher."

"Teacher Qin?"

Ji Fei peeked inside and saw two girls—one standing and one sitting. The standing girl wore glasses, looking delicate and refined, though she was trembling and her eyes were red, clearly upset. The sitting girl, on the other hand, had an air of superiority. She was strikingly beautiful, but her expression was one of shock, her face gradually reddening as she realized her arrogant behavior had been caught in the act.

Qin Yi frowned at Wan Sitong. "The order was decided by drawing lots to ensure fairness for all students. What are you doing? Do you usually bully your classmates like this?"

Qin Yi was deeply disappointed. He knew Wan Sitong was somewhat arrogant—after all, she was a prodigy—but he never imagined her behavior could be so malicious.

"N-no, it's not like that..." Wan Sitong clearly didn't want to show her true self in front of Qin Yi and desperately tried to explain. "I just wanted to perform last. It doesn't make much difference to her anyway, given her level..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Wan Sitong!" Qin Yi cut her off sharply.

Wan Sitong immediately looked at Qin Yi with a pitiful expression, her gaze anything but that of a student looking at a teacher.

"I was just afraid you wouldn't come, afraid you'd be late. That's why I tried to delay the performance. I just wanted to perform for you." As she spoke, Wan Sitong began to cry.

This caught Qin Yi off guard, and he looked visibly uncomfortable.

Qin Zhao and Qin Rong exchanged suspicious glances, then turned to Ji Fei.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?" Qin Rong asked.

Ji Fei raised an eyebrow and said, "She doesn't seem to be lying."

[Indeed, she's not lying. Wan Sitong really did delay the performance for Qin Yi. This girl is utterly infatuated with him.]

After observing Wan Sitong, Ji Fei curiously turned her attention to Zhou Rushi, the girl who had been bullied and was now fading into the background.

At first glance, it was startling.

[Wow, our cousin's charm is truly something else.]

Qin Zhao and Qin Rong, noticing Ji Fei's interest in the other girl, immediately grew curious. Could it be...

[No wonder she seemed threatened earlier. Turns out Zhou Rushi also has feelings for Qin Yi, but she's the type to secretly admire him from afar, feeling unworthy and believing there's no chance between them. She never dares to hope, but Wan Sitong saw through her. That's why she was threatening to expose Zhou Rushi's feelings to Qin Yi. Zhou Rushi was afraid that if Qin Yi found out, he'd avoid her, and she'd lose even the chance to occasionally seek his guidance. That's why she gave in.]

Qin Zhao and Qin Rong couldn't help but sigh. Being a teacher like Qin Yi isn't easy—accidentally getting liked by students is a constant risk. While university relationships aren't strictly forbidden, this is still quite extreme. It must be the Qin family's exceptional genes at work.

Meanwhile, Wan Sitong was busy spinning her story to Qin Yi, as if her earlier bullying had never happened and she had only been misunderstood.

Qin Yi, not wanting to delve deeper at the moment, simply said, "Alright, apologize to Zhou Rushi. The performance will proceed as scheduled. Both of you, get ready."

Though Wan Sitong was internally furious, she reluctantly apologized to Zhou Rushi.

Zhou Rushi, too afraid to even look at Qin Yi, simply nodded in acknowledgment.

Wan Sitong, however, sneered inwardly, then turned to Qin Yi with a coquettish tone. "Teacher, after my performance, can you come back here to see me?"

Qin Yi immediately raised his guard. "I brought some relatives to watch the performance today, so I might not have time for post-performance guidance. We'll discuss it back at school."

Wan Sitong seemed to notice the others at the door for the first time and frowned, as if she should be the most important person in Qin Yi's life. "Just for a little while, Teacher, please?"

She pleaded so desperately that it seemed she wouldn't let Qin Yi leave unless he agreed.

Qin Yi was sweating bullets, afraid that someone might notice something amiss. In the end, he reluctantly agreed, planning to clarify things with Wan Sitong after the performance. If she still couldn't let go of her feelings, he might have to assign her to another mentor.

Wan Sitong, however, was already plotting to confess her feelings again after the performance. She refused to believe that Qin Yi, who had always been so kind to her, didn't feel the same way. After all, they were a perfect match.

Soon, Wan Sitong was led away by the staff to prepare.

Qin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhou Rushi some last-minute advice before the performance.

Zhou Rushi listened attentively, though her expression couldn't hide her sadness. Qin Yi, thinking she was still upset about Wan Sitong's words, reassured her, "Your singing skills aren't inferior to hers. You have your own unique talent."

He meant it. Zhou Rushi was diligent and had excellent vocal skills, though her natural voice wasn't as outstanding. Initially, Qin Yi had hesitated between the two, but Wan Sitong's prodigious talent had ultimately won him over.

Zhou Rushi nodded obediently.

[Ah, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‍the poor girl is heartbroken after seeing how close the teacher and disciple are. My clueless cousin has no idea she likes him too.]

Qin Zhao and Qin Rong could only watch sympathetically.

After giving his instructions, Qin Yi led the others back to the private box to watch the performance.

Lost in thought, Qin Yi didn't notice the expressions of his companions until he overheard their whispers.

"No way! If he could like her, he'd have to be blind," Qin Zhao said.

Qin Yi: "..."

"What are you talking about?" Qin Yi's face turned red.

"We're talking about you and Wan Sitong. It's so obvious, anyone can see it," Ji Fei said bluntly, eager to keep the gossip going.
