After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family Chapter 439

Grandfather’s laughter rang out the loudest as Ji Fei and Qin Xian knelt to offer their formal respects.

Ji Fei privately surmised that his joy stemmed from the fact that, among all his grandchildren, they were the only genuine couple in attendance.

Upon receiving a substantial red envelope, Qin Xian immediately passed his own over to Ji Fei. Before the surrounding guests could engulf them, he swiftly guided her away, snatching up some refreshments as they retreated.

Noticing the absence of familiar faces, Ji Fei asked with curiosity, "Where are the others?"

"Ruan Jia, Chu Xinyue, and your colleagues from the studio had professional commitments, so they departed this morning. Qin Chao saw them off. The rest are still around—they can look after themselves. Don’t worry."

Once they reached the privacy of their room, Qin Xian leaned in to press a tender kiss against her brow, his eyes filled with affection.

"Get some rest. I will return to your side shortly."

"Aren’t you feeling the fatigue at all?" Ji Fei asked, already feeling a bit dizzy from exhaustion.

"I am capable of going twenty-four hours without any sleep."

Ji Fei thought to herself: I am aware of his physical training and superior endurance… but why does that statement feel so ominous?

Truly, Qin Xian appeared entirely revitalized and brimming with vitality—looking more spirited than she had ever seen him.

In contrast, she felt as though she might collapse at any moment.

With a flushed face, Ji Fei silently scolded him in her mind.

"Greedy bastard! You do nothing but bully me!"

She made a shooing gesture, urging him to depart.

However, Qin Xian caught her words.

He pulled her back into a firm embrace, claiming one more lingering kiss before finally stepping away.

"I am indeed greedy."

Ji Fei had reached her absolute limit.

Because she naturally required more sleep than the average person, she didn't even stop to change her clothes the moment she saw the bed.

Ignoring the food Qin Xian had provided to restore her energy, she collapsed face-first onto the mattress and drifted into a deep slumber instantly.

Meanwhile, at the Luncheon…

Qin Xian returned to the banquet hall to fulfill his duties as host. He moved through the crowd with practiced ease, handling toasts and social obligations while maintaining his usual composed and regal bearing.

Even his parents could sense a shift in his aura since the proposal took place.

But slowly…

An unsettling sensation began to take hold of him.

It felt as though a pair of eyes was fixed steadily upon him.

While many in the room were naturally watching him, this specific gaze felt malicious, sending a sudden chill down his spine.

As the minutes ticked by, the feeling intensified.

An intense, driving urge to return to Ji Fei’s side took hold of him.

The second he found a gap in the social requirements, he made a beeline for the exit, intent on leaving the hall.

"Second Brother? Are you heading out?"

"Yeah."

Qin Chao cocked an eyebrow. Was he really that impatient?

However, just as Qin Xian reached the base of the stairs, the faint, tinny sound of a distorted ringtone reached his ears from above.

It was the sound of an antiquated mobile phone.

In that heartbeat—

Qin Xian’s entire body went rigid.

He felt a bizarre sensation as if the strength was being siphoned from his muscles.

It was as though his very soul had been plucked away.

Moving with the stiff precision of a machine—

He began to ascend the stairs.

Ji Fei Wakes Up

Ji Fei lost all track of time while she slept.

Her rest had been plagued by a chaotic string of bad dreams.

Suddenly, a sharp sensation—like a bolt of electricity—jolted through her chest.

She bolted upright, her heart hammering against her ribs.

Yet, when she searched her mind for the details of the nightmare, they had already evaporated.

Checking her phone—

Damn. The afternoon was already fading.

She quickly tidied herself up and attempted to call Qin Xian, but the call went unanswered.

Left with no other choice, she posted a message to the family group chat.

Qin Dad: You’re finally up?

Qin Mom: Are you feeling hungry?

Big Sister: Take your time. Everything is under control.

Third Brother: Where is Second Brother? Didn't he go to check on you?

Youngest Sister: Sister-in-law, just go back to sleep!

This family was almost too supportive!

"I’m done sleeping. I’m heading over now."

She couldn't justify idling any longer.

As the wife of the Qin family's patriarch, she couldn't remain hidden away indefinitely.

Moreover… she felt a deep yearning for Qin Xian.

A sudden, powerful compulsion to see him gripped her.

Dressing in a hurry, she stepped out into the fresh air.

Guests were still mingling in the courtyard, and she received several warm greetings.

Ji Fei smiled back politely, but as she walked toward the main house, the sound of a vehicle arriving behind her caught her attention.

It appeared more visitors had arrived late.

"Wait… why are you by yourself? Where is my brother?"

Qin Chao approached her, looking bewildered.

Ji Fei blinked in confusion.

"He hasn't returned? I assumed he was still occupied with the guests."

Qin Chao’s brow furrowed.

"No… he left to find you over an hour ago. Was he intercepted by someone?"

"What?" A pang of anxiety struck Ji Fei’s heart.

Qin Chao tried to dial his brother’s number immediately, but—

There was no response.

"Never mind. Go find Rong Rong—I’ll track down Second Brother before you go running off."

With those words, Qin Chao dashed away.

Knowing she couldn't match his speed, Ji Fei didn't protest.

However, a sense of dread began to crawl up her spine as she surveyed the area.

Her thoughts turned immediately to Yu Lu.

After all—

That woman was obsessed with claiming Qin Xian for herself.

Could she have done something?

Just as Ji Fei prepared to use her special ability to locate Yu Lu, a person rushed past, nearly knocking her over.

The individual grunted a quick apology and kept running.

Ji Fei watched as the disheveled, travel-stained man ran straight toward Grandma Lü, speaking with great urgency.

Ji Fei’s eyes narrowed.

Could that be… Yu Hongxian?

She hesitated for a split second before deciding to investigate him.

The moment she activated her power—

A massive surge of data slammed into her consciousness.

The mental load was so heavy she felt as if her head might burst.

Her pupils contracted as she watched Yu Hongxian hurry away.

Without a second thought, she began to pursue him.

She couldn't explain the impulse—

She simply knew she could not let him out of her sight.

In that instant—

Her inner monologue thundered through the minds of everyone capable of hearing her thoughts.

[It’s him. It’s THEM! They are the ones who traumatized little Qin Xian!]

Her mental scream shattered the celebratory mood like a lightning strike.

The members of the Qin family froze in place, their faces clouding over with rage.

Abandoning their social duties, they ignored the guests and immediately converged, seeking one another out in a panic.

Qin Chao was the last to arrive.

"I was just speaking with Second Sister-in-law! But when I went to find Second Brother—she had vanished too!"

Qin Dad’s face turned to stone.

"Stay calm. Listen closely."

[It was hypnosis. Lü Meihe was placed under hypnosis. Her memories were suppressed and hidden—that is why I could never uncover the truth!]

The faces of the Qin family grew darker by the second.

That meant…

[Lü Meihe… Yu Hongxian… Both of you deserve a painful death!]

The Qin parents felt the blood drain from their faces.

For years, they had carried the weight of guilt, believing they had failed their son.

But finally, the truth was laid bare.
