Chapter 59

May 25, 2022 / / 1 Comment

       The Li family hadn’t seen Li Zhenran hold the cat on his lap for breakfast for a long time.

       When Li Zhentai came downstairs and saw it, he couldn’t help but sighed and said, “Finally your cat is found, otherwise you’ll be out of the mood for work.”

       Li Zhenran didn’t look up and focused on peeling the eggs for Li Zhenruo.

       Li Zhenruo glanced at him, and then glanced at Li Jianglin who was sitting in the main seat and thought that Li Zhentai was just trying to be witty again.

       He didn’t ask Li Zhenran, but according to the family’s tone, Li Zhentai should come back to sleep these days, and the relationship between him and Wen Chun seemed to have eased.

       However, Li Zhenzi still did not come back. It seems that it was impossible for Li Zhentai to forgive Li Zhenzi in a short time.

       No. Li Zhenruo thinks it won’t be in a short time, maybe Li Zhentai will never forgive Li Zhenzi in his whole life. Li Zhentai himself was useless. Furthermore, there were Li Zhenzi and Li Zhenran above him getting in his way.

       In order to make Li Zhenruo’s death to be in vain, Li Zhentai had to target Li Zhenzi in the next step. He hesitated to act, did he feel that if he did it now, it would be too obvious?

       After Li Zhenruo ate the egg yolk, he smelled the faint fragrance on Li Zhenran’s fingers, so he couldn’t help sticking out his tongue to lick his fingers. After licking for a while, he suddenly felt a burst of tooth itching, and couldn’t bear to bite him. He just lay down on Li Zhenran and licked his neck and chin.

       Li Zhentai was about to sit down, but he couldn’t help but slow down for a while, and asked hesitantly, “Zhenran, your cat did not get rabies outside, right?”

       Li Zhenran’s head was slightly tilted back, and his long fingers pinched the back of Li Zhenruo’s neck, but he didn’t pull him away in the end and let him lick him.

       After Li Zhenruo finished licking, he leaned on Li Zhenran’s shoulder and panted slightly, thinking I like you so much, don’t you know? Ghosts won’t believe it!

       After breakfast, Li Zhenran went to the bathroom to wash his face and neck with water.

       Li Zhenruo was lying on the dining room table, and squinting his eyes with an unhappy look in the direction of the bathroom, until Wang Ma drove him off the table.

       At that time, he really wanted to leave the Li family. However, now that he came back, Li Zhenruo didn’t want to be separated from Li Zhenran.

       Li Zhenran went to the company, Li Zhenruo jumped up before he closed the door, and sat down in the back seat.

       The driver saw him in the rearview mirror, smiled and said to Li Zhenran, “It’s back?”

       Li Zhenran replied, “Yeah, I found it.”

       Li Zhenruo rubbed against Li Zhenran’s leg and lay down, resting his head on his lap. He saw that Li Zhenran’s hand was still beside him, and he pulled his hand with his paws.

       When Li Zhenran raised his head and touched it, Li Zhenruo raised his eyes and looked at him with satisfaction.

       The driver accidentally encountered a problem while driving the car and stepped on the emergency brake. Li Zhenruo rolled off the seat in one go, and Li Zhenran reached out and tried to catch him before he had time.

       The driver quickly apologized, saying that the car in front suddenly changed lanes.

       Li Zhenran said, “It doesn’t matter.” Li Zhenran looked down and saw that Li Zhenruo had quickly climbed back to the seat. Li Zhenruo continued to rest his round chin on Li Zhenran’s leg as if nothing had happened.

       So Li Zhenran couldn’t help pinching Li Zhenruo’s face.

       As soon as he arrived at the company, Li Zhenran had a meeting waiting for him. He left the cat in the office and asked Hua Yibang to send him the meeting materials.

       Hua Yibang came into Li Zhenran’s office, looked at Li Zhenruo for a while, and asked, “Has the cat been found?”

       Li Zhenran responded lightly, asked some questions on the document, then got up and said, “Let’s go.”

       When he saw them go out to the office together, Li Zhenruo jumped onto the sofa in the office and sat down. He felt that Li Zhenran still didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

       He thought of what Li Zhenran said to him yesterday. He knew that Li Zhenran was worried about him running away from home, and those almost compromising words were doubting his feelings. But when he thought of Li Zhenran saying that he loved him, Li Zhenruo couldn’t help but feel happy, I know you love me, what are you pretending!

       He sat on the sofa, stretched out his front and back legs, and slowly transformed into a human posture. He tried hard to use the method taught by Xia Hongshen to mobilize the spiritual power stored in his dantian, wrapping it around his body and turning it into a human body. layers of clothing.

       Li Zhenruo closed his eyes and felt the flow of spiritual power in his heart. When he opened his eyes, he found that there was only one pair of underwear on his body… fvck, it was a black lace thong, what the hell?! Li Zhenruo was a little broken, how could he control this? He was just in the process of changing and occasionally thought about some pictures.

       Afraid that Li Zhenran would be stimulated, Li Zhenruo quickly changed back to his cat appearance.

       He thought Li Zhenran, that pervert should still prefer the cat.

       When he thought of this, Li Zhenruo jumped up from the sofa and jumped onto Li Zhenran’s large desk, trying to put on a charming pose.

       He was lying on his stomach at first, and then he found that he couldn’t lift his legs. He probably looked a little stupid, so he changed to lying on his side again, exposing his white and soft belly, and his tail was gently flapping on the table.

       After a while, he heard footsteps coming, and Li Zhenran opened the door from the outside.

       Li Zhenruo hurriedly flexed a leg to make himself look more attractive.

       As a result, Li Zhenran just walked in and stopped when he saw him.

       Li Zhenzi stuck his head out from behind Li Zhenran and said with a “wow”, “Second brother, your taste is really heavy.”

       Li Zhenruo suddenly jumped up, closed his tightly and sat on the big desk. He looked up at the window with a focused expression, the early morning sunlight shining in, giving his whole body furry coated with a layer of soft glow, and it looked like a beautiful picture.

       Li Zhenran pretended not to see it, walked to the back of the desk and sat down, and let Li Zhenzi also sit.

       After Li Zhenzi sat down, he wanted to reach out and touch Li Zhenruo, but Li Zhenruo slapped his hand with his tail.

       Then Li Zhenruo got up, walked to the edge of the desk, and continued to sit down and pretend to look out the window.

       Li Zhenran and Li Zhenzi talked to themselves about the engineering issues of the project in the western part. It concerned one of the contracts, and the two of them discussed it carefully for a long time.

       Li Zhenruo was tired from posing, he changed his posture and lay on the table, staring at Li Zhenran with some resentment.

       Li Zhenran probably received Li Zhenruo’s gaze and said to Li Zhenzi, “That’s it, there are still some things to do here, I will talk about it next time.”

       Li Zhen couldn’t help but glance at the cat lying on the table, stood up and said, “Then I’ll go first.”

       “Third child,” Li Zhenran suddenly stopped him when he saw that Li Zhenzi was about to leave his office.

       Li Zhenzi turned around, a little strange, “Huh?”

       Li Zhenran said, “Tighten up a bit these days.”

       Li Zhenzi was stunned for a moment, “Why do you say that?”

       Li Zhenran leaned back on the back of the chair and raised one leg, “You don’t think the grudge with eldest brother will simply go away, right?”

       Li Zhen was silent for a moment after hearing the words, and replied, “I know.” After he said that, he opened the door of the office and walked out.

       Li Zhenruo looked in the direction of the office door thoughtfully.

       Li Zhenran looked at him for a while, saw that he was still in a daze, and asked, “What?”

       Li Zhenruo immediately transformed into a human form, and regardless of his nakedness, he sat on the edge of the desk and said to Li Zhenran, “Do you think Li Zhentai wants to touch the third child?”

       “I don’t know,” Li Zhenran said as he picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette slowly, and bit it into his mouth, “Since he has played such a heavy hand on you, there is no reason to let go of those who contradict him. The third child? Maybe—” Having said that, Li Zhenran reached out and picked up the lighter on the table.

       “Stop smoking,” Li Zhenruo leaned over and snatched his lighter. He looked at Li Zhenran and said again, “Don’t smoke so much.”

       Li Zhenran leaned on the large office chair and hooked his fingers to Li Zhenruo.

       Li Zhenruo then bent down and approached him, bit his face with his teeth and took out the cigarette that was shouting in his mouth, then took it with his hand and put it aside, “What do you want to say?”

       Li Zhenran smiled, “Maybe I’ll be the next one after he dealt with the third child.”

       Li Zhenruo thought about it seriously, “Why does he have to follow an order? If I were him, I would deal with you first. Now that the third child has a conflict with him, he must be the first person that comes to mind if something happens.”

       Li Zhenran still smiled flatly after hearing the words, and stretched out his hand to him, “Come here.”

       Li Zhenruo held Li Zhenran’s hand, was pulled from the desk by him, and then sat on his lap.

       Li Zhenran rubbed Li Zhenruo’s neck with his fingers, turned his head and kissed him, saying, “If you were Li Zhentai, what would you do with me?”

       Li Zhenruo raised his head and thought.

       And Li Zhenran’s fingers had slipped from his neck to his chest, making a mess all the way.

       Li Zhenruo said, “Isn’t your biggest weakness me?”

       Li Zhenran and Li Zhenruo have never made themselves a secret together, and he didn’t know if they have been photographed. Whether the photos were given to Li Jianglin or directly to the media or posted on the internet, to be honest, they all dealt a certain blow to Li Zhenran.

       Of course, Li Zhenran was a businessman rather than a star. In today’s open-minded age, whether he was gay or not would probably not have much impact on his career. And what could really hit him was probably Li Jianglin’s reaction.

       Li Zhenruo felt that Li Zhenran should be more cautious in this matter, but he didn’t know why Li Zhenran was not afraid of the world. Did he feel that he got Li Jianglin, or did he have an indifferent attitude towards the whole Yunlin?

       “You’re distracted,” Li Zhenran’s low voice sounded in his ear.

       Li Zhenruo glanced at him, “Didn’t you ask me a question?”

       Li Zhenran said, “Well, that question is not important, you should concentrate on this.”

       At this moment, Li Zhenruo was a little baffled, he no longer knew what was most important to Li Zhenran. So he simply put aside those other thoughts, reached out and held Li Zhenran’s face and kissed it.

       After the kiss, Li Zhenran hugged Li Zhenruo and stood up.

       Li Zhenruo hurriedly wrapped his arms around his neck to stabilize his figure, and said, “Why? Want to have sex in the daytime?”

       Li Zhenran carried him towards the lounge and said, “You were so sultry just now, didn’t you want to seduce me?”

       Li Zhenruo really wanted to seduce him, but when he thought that Li Zhenran looked at a cat and looked sultry, he was really perverted to a certain level, and he couldn’t help but feel a little tangled.

       So he finally couldn’t help but ask a question: “Do you love me more as a cat or as a person?”

       Li Zhenran had already put him on the bed and answered him, “This is a meaningless question. You are a complete individual. I can only say that I love all of you.”

       Li Zhenruo felt a little embarrassed after listening to him say such touching words without changing his face. He couldn’t help but ask again, “Then why haven’t you fallen in love with me in the past 20 years?”

       Li Zhenran looked at him, “It’s not necessarily that I won’t fall in love, it may just be that there is less chance to start.”

       Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment because of these words. He suddenly felt that fate was sometimes really a very mysterious thing, and Li Zhenran was actually right. They might just have lost a chance to start. However, it was precisely because they would not begin that their lives will become two eternal parallel lines.

       He hugged Li Zhenran a little harder and kissed his lips.

       The lounge was in full swing for a while.

       Li Zhenruo felt that this place was really a good place. Hua Yibang was guarding outside, and no one could easily come in. When he was tired from work, he could roll onto the bed with his lover in his arms and go back to work after feeling refreshed. Perhaps only Li Zhenran could enjoy such a good treatment.

       After the passionate moments, Li Zhenruo hugged Li Zhenran’s neck and gasped, and suddenly heard the phone ringing that he had left aside, raised his knee and hit Li Zhenran’s waist, “Phone.”

       Li Zhenran reached out and took the mobile phone. When he saw that the caller ID turned out to be Hua Yibang’s name, he couldn’t help frowning slightly. He answered the phone and said solemnly, “What?”

       Hua Yibang’s voice was very low, “Mr. Li Senior came suddenly. I can’t stop him, and he won’t let me inform you. He is in your office now.”

       Li Zhenran replied calmly, “I got it?”

       Li Zhenruo looked at him inexplicably.

       Li Zhenran patted his face, “Get up, the old man is here.”

Chapter 43 – What if I’m reluctant

May 25, 2022 / / 1 Comment

Chapter 43 – What if I’m reluctant

 

The news the next day really exploded. All this time, Qi Zongcheng kept his silence. At this critical juncture, it was too late for Qi Zongcheng and Qi’s fourth young master to clear their involvement. Unfortunately, there was some conflict in the background and his illegitimate sons were exposed outside using this pretext to illegally occupy their land. For a time, the Qi family was brought to the centrestage of chaos.

 

Shen Qinghong looked at the newspaper, as the corner of her mouth twitched. She took off her reading glasses and rubbed her temples, “Elder Li, you said that Yun’er will not leave this matter alone. He made up his mind that the Qi family will be no more.”

 

Uncle Li held the medicine and handed it to Shen Qinghong, “Miss, take good care of yourself. You should leave these things alone.”

 

Shen Qinghong pushed the bowl away, “Even if I drink it, it’s useless for me. I don’t have much strength left and my time has passed. After this calamity, Yun’er will finally understand that the Qi family is a bunch of hypocritical villains, so don’t worry. Uncle Li, after I die, the Shen family will be handed over to Yun’er. Even if he doesn’t like me anymore, the Shen family is also his grandmother’s family and he will take good care of it for his mother’s sake. Cough cough cough!”

 

Uncle Li looked sad, “Young Master Yun has a prejudice against you… it goes too deep!”

 

Shen Qinghong smiled lightly, “It doesn’t matter. As long as he will take the Shen family, what is a small misunderstanding? That child was born with a temper. He is upright, decisive and never sloppy when he does things. Outsiders always think he is too ruthless, but the children who came out of his grandmother’s side, they still have some softness in their hearts even if they seem cruel. I can be rest assured when the Shen family is in his hands.”

 

The news outside has turned everything upside down. In a small resort to the south of the Yangtze River, everything seemed detached from the world. Xing Zhongwan took Qi Yun to fish and caught nothing all morning. Xing Zhongwan looked at the empty bucket, depressed. He mentioned earlier that he would make fish soup for dinner. When he turned around, he saw Qi Yun with a hat on his head, his eyes were slowly narrowing and he was about to doze off. There was a leaf held up by Qi Yun’s long eyelashes, which were really long enough to support a small leaf. Xing Zhongwan felt playful and leaned over him when suddenly, Qi Yun opened his eyes. 

 

The leaf fell and those eyes looked at Xing Zhongwan. His two hands wrapped around the other’s shoulders, “Stop playing!” Having said that, he couldn’t help but bend his waist and hold Xing Zhongwan’s face, kissing him on the forehead.

 

“Wanwan, you smell good.” 

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment, and pretended to be serious, “You know how you look? Like a good woman who’s been molested by a hooligan.”

 

Qi Yun reached out and scratched his nose, “You’re teasing me!”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted and when he turned around, he saw Chen Ying holding up a phone. Xing Zhongwan got up, grabbed the fishing rod and bucket and went away.

 

As Xing Zhongwan walked away, Chen Ying held out the phone in front of Qi Yun, “Master Yun, it’s Mr Qi’s phone number!” 

 

The warmth on Qi Yun’s face dissipated as he took the phone. He put it beside his ear and called out to his grandfather in a cold voice. On the other end of the phone, Qi Zongcheng suppressed his anger, “Qi Yun, do you know what you just did to the Qi family and its impact was? If you don’t like that you were cast out before, you can deal with that later, but the timing now is not right! He’s your own brother, why did you still go through with it?”

 

After listening to Qi Zongcheng’s words indifferently, Qi Yun motioned Chen Ying to push him into a room, “Grandpa, Qi’s fourth young master seduced the Qiu family’s daughter behind my back and pushed her father to commit suicide in fear of being found out. He then  made her get in my car, causing the accident. When he hurt me, did he ever consider me as his brother? Grandpa, didn’t you have a good time watching it too?”

 

“Qi Yun! You…you unfilial grandson!” Qi Zongcheng’s anger could not be suppressed and he wanted to lecture him.

 

Chen Ying pushed Qi Yun into the room and handed him a glass of water. Qi Yun took a sip, “All you want is a puppet that’s well-kept and obedient. If it spirals out of your control, you will cut off its hands and feet. I don’t like being a puppet. Did you think about today when you cut off my hands and feet? How can I not repay the pain of being betrayed by my relatives? Grandpa, this is just the beginning!”

 

“Qi Yun, just because you have the Shen family backing you, you think I can’t do anything to you? It’s not good for you to sully the Qi’s family name! Stop it at once. Don’t think just because you are my grandson that I will let it go!”

 

Qi Yun raised his hand and turned it over, pouring the water in the cup on the ground little by little, “Since I was cast out, I never thought about going back to the Qi family.” 

 

Qi Zongcheng’s voice was trembling

 

“What about the man next to you? You don’t care about him?”

 

“If you dare to touch him, I will let the entire Qi family be buried with me!”

 

With a flick of his hand, the beautiful glass cup fell to the ground and was shattered.

 

Qi Zongcheng almost dropped the phone in his hand and looked back at Madam Qi who was sitting on the sofa with no tears left to cry, “This is the good son you raised. One by one, all of you drive me mad! Not just, the eldest son is here to collect his debt, the youngest son is an idiot that never realized he was set up and he was locked in. He’s still thinking about saving that woman too! I’m afraid he won’t be able to save himself this time!”

 

Madam Qi’s face changed greatly, “Father, the fourth son is your grandson and Hua An’s 1Qi Zhongcheng’s son and Qi Yun’s father. Also Madam Qi’s husband.son. You mustn’t not save him!”

 

Qi Zongcheng was sullen and he couldn’t help thinking in his heart that the Qi family now was really useless. Qi Yun has already cut off his ties with the Qi family. The Qi’s fourth young master…

 

While he thought about it, there was a knock on the door. Qi Zongcheng’s secretary came in, panicked and said a few words in Qi Zongcheng’s ear before handing over the documents in his hand.

 

Qi Zongcheng frowned, looking at Madam Qi sharply, “Where is he?” 

 

The secretary whispered, “The person has been brought over from outside. The Shen family said that if this is not enough, there is also a paternity test. They can also bring the proof!”

 

Qi Zongcheng rubbed his eyebrows and told his secretary to get out. Madam Qi looked at Qi Zongcheng’s anger-filled eyes and got up in a hurry, “Father! You…”

 

With a crisp sound, Qi Zongcheng slapped her face fiercely. Madam Qi fell to the ground in disbelief before looking up.

 

Qi Zongcheng was trembling with anger as he threw the stack of documents in his hands on her, “Guan Yang, you are so brave to dare to do such a thing and cuckold the Qi’s family head! Don’t think I dare not touch you. If this matter reaches your own father’s side, my Qi family won’t keep you! As for that evil son! He should just die in prison for me!”

 

Madam Qi got up in a panic and grabbed a piece of paper on the ground. All the blood was drained from her face all of a sudden.

 

“No, no… not my father!”

 

Madam Qi wanted to get up so she crawled over and pulled Qi Zongcheng’s trousers, but was kicked to the ground by Qi Zongcheng, “The witnesses and evidence are gathered. What else do you have to quibble about?! I still wonder why you put so much effort into what you did and why you wanted to keep Qi Yun’s child. It turns out that the Qi’s fourth young master was the son of you and this man! You! You!”

 

Qi Zongcheng’s blood pressure rose and he almost fainted. Madam Qi turned her head to look at the trembling man who was slumped to the ground as his hair was being held by the bodyguard at the door.

 

Thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, Xing Zhongwan was dragged by Qi Yun to the tea garden outside the house. It was like he had nothing to do, so he found something to do. Qi Yun held his hand as Xing Zhongwan yawned. Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers started, as they exploded in the air. Xing Zhongwan didn’t have time to retract his shock as he looked at the fireworks lighting up one by one in the night sky. They formed a single huge word, Wan. Xing Zhongwan raised his chin and was surprised. The sound of fireworks was endless, Xing Zhongwan lowered his head and looked at Qi Yun, “Are you courting a fine lady?”

 

The light of the fireworks made Qi Yun’s face look extraordinarily gentle, “Do you like it? It’ll be your birthday in five days but I can’t celebrate your birthday. I hope you like it.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s nose was a little sour, he turned his head and took a breath. Why couldn’t he make the words ‘he liked it’ come out of his mouth?

 

Qi Yun held his hand and scratched his palm carefully, “You don’t like it? If you don’t like it, I’ll think of something else…”

 

A kiss fell on Qi Yun’s lips and Qi Yun was stunned. The tip of his nose whiffed the fragrance of pine wood and it warmed his heart. He stretched his hand around Xing Zhongwan’s neck and sucked on his soft lips.

 

Under the fireworks, the two of them hugged each other very beautifully, and the entourage around them carefully turned themselves away.

 

Xing Zhongwan hugged Qi Yun’s thin body. For the first time, he felt a little reluctant to give up. He didn’t want to give up on Qi Yun’s heart, let alone Qi Yun himself.

 

Xing Zhongwan went back to the room to take a shower. He came out of the bathroom and looked at his slightly swollen lips in the mirror. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t understand why he kissed Qi Yun just now, he just couldn’t help it.

 

Picking up the towel to dry his hair, his phone rang. In the video, Xue Qing looked at Xing Zhongwan’s lips with an ambiguous smile, “Be honest, what are you up to? I see that your mouth is swollen?”

 

Xing Zhongwan hummed twice, “If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up.”

 

Xue Qing said hurriedly, “I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll bring Professor Gao and the others over tomorrow. When will you come back? The Qi family is not at peace. It is impossible for Qi Yun to hide in Jiangnan forever. He has to go back to do the operation.”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought for a while, “It should be soon. I will meet you by that time. It must have been hard for you all this time.”

 

Xue Qing laughed, “Don’t talk to me about my feelings, I want the real deal! I’ve been fascinated by your little new target for a long time now!”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s face darkened, “You only care about Laozi’s cash cow! Get lost!”

 

Xue Qing acceptingly smiled, “I’m for real. Laoxing, be careful over there and take care of yourself!”

 

Xing Zhongwan hung up the phone, glanced at today’s headlines as he clutched his aching head. This period would not be a peaceful time.

 

The next morning, Xing Zhongwan was woken up by the urgent ringing of his mobile phone. He woke up frowning and gently pushed Qi Yun’s hand away from his waist, fearing that he would be disturbed when he answered his mobile phone outside the room.

 

“What’s the matter? It’s so early in the morning.”

 

Xue Qing was furious and spoke in a high voice, “I’m so pissed off. Laoxing, look at today’s news!”

 

Xing Zhongwan hung up the phone and searched up the news page.

 

His phone rang again and Xing Zhongwan clicked to answer. His expression was very bad.

 

“Laoxing, have you read the news? Qi Yun, that brat, has now harmed you. Does he even have a conscience!?”

 

Xing Zhongwan had a sullen face as he said, “Shut up!”

 

T/N: Wowowow someone started a dumpster fire in the backyard…! What do you do??

Chapter 28 – Experiencing morning sickness

Chapter 28 – Experiencing morning sickness

 

Jian Luo leaned against the sink to calm down for a while before it was over.

 

His stomach was terribly uncomfortable and the feeling came in waves as soon as he thought he was better. There was a fishy smell in the kitchen which made him uncomfortable.

 

Su Liang outside heard a voice: “Luoluo?”

 

Jian Luo responded in a low voice.

 

“What’s wrong with Luoluo?” Su Liang came over but just stood outside: “Where is the discomfort?”

 

Jian Luo shook his hand gently, making a gesture to indicate that he was fine.

 

Su Liang was relieved. Jian Luo smiled and gestured silently to her to go out first as the live broadcast was still going on.

 

The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned stupid:

“Are you alright?”

“Should I call a doctor for you?”

“Uwuuu, you have to be strong!”

 

Jian Luo laughed when he saw the news: “It’s nothing. Don’t worry. It’s because my stomach feels a little bad today, so I’ll end the live broadcast today and make it up for everyone tomorrow. Sorry.”

 

After saying that, he saw a lightning strike on the homepage. 

 

User (Feng): Rest well and make up for it next time.

 

The thunder’s special effects made the entire page brighter by a degree. It was pretty so it made others feel quite happy.

 

Jian Luo was a little moved: “Thank you.”

 

Other audience:

“??? This user again.”

“Why every time there’s something, he’ll mess it up by appearing.”

“Why the torpedoes, why?!”

 

After a while, the user (Feng) smashed another torpedo and added, “Oops, it should be this one instead.”

 

Everyone: “…”

 

This was a tough opponent.

 

The live broadcast ended. Jian Luo prepared dinner before also walking out.

 

The inside of the house was too airy so he pushed the big door directly to the courtyard to take a breather. It was nighttime and the small courtyard was quite quiet. There was also a gentle breeze blowing so he felt better after standing outside for a while. 

 

Su Liang came over from behind: “Luoluo, what’s wrong with you?”

 

Jian Luo rubbed his eyebrows: “Maybe it’s because of lunch with a client today. I should be careful of what I eat.”

 

That’s right, it’s all Lu Shifeng’s fault!

 

It must be him!

 

Su Liang looked at Jian Luo’s pale face and felt a little distressed: “Luoluo, if it’s too hard to earn Ah Sheng’s tuition, mother will find a way. You’re already working so hard.”

 

Jian Luo hurriedly shook his head: “I’m having a hard time now because I ate some bad food. You’re thinking too much.”

 

Only then did Su Liang feel relieved. She said, “Will your mother cook some porridge for you?”

 

“Alright.”

 

Jian Luo paused and hesitated again. He closed his eyes and hesitated, causing Su Liang to keep staring at him.

 

Su Liang smiled: “What else do you want to say?”

 

“Well…” Jian Luo said softly, “Is there any meat at home? I want to eat meat porridge.”

 

It has been a long time since Su Liang has heard Jian Luo speak so softly while acting like a spoiled child. This child has always been different. She has talked to him for 20 years, until he then fell seriously ill, causing his personality to change. She had always felt that there was something between them. 

 

Now that this child was whispering softly, saying to her that he wanted to eat meat with a lowered gaze. It instantly awakened a softness in Su Liang’s heart.

 

This was Jian Luo.

 

This was her child, no matter what changes. The one standing in front of her now was also her child.

 

Seeing her talk, Jian Luo touched her nose: “Actually, you can eat now.”

 

“Eat.” Su Liang frowned and said softly, “Go take a shower first, and we will eat when you come out.”

 

Jian Luo was happy and said, “Okay, I’m going now.”

 

After saying that, he went back to his room to get a change of clothes. Most of the clothes in their house were made by Su Liang herself. His mother is very ingenious. If there was a diagram, she could make anything from scratch.

 

Jian Luo picked up the gray-blue cotton pajamas she designed, took a shower and came back sitting on the stretched sofa in the living room to check the news.

 

He said to Lightbrain, “Baidu this. What is wrong with me if I retch after eating bad food?”

 

The Lightbrain buffered for a long time before replying: “At present, this indicates a gastric disease. It is very likely that the human stomach did not manage to adapt to the ingredients, causing stress and lesions, in which severe rejection may lead to cancer…”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

Surfing the web using the ball of light was like digging his own grave.

 

He tapped his lips: “I think it should be possible to cure this. Do a search on the symptoms of common illnesses linked to fishy smell and nausea.”

 

The light ball searched for a longer time. After waiting for a while, it said, “Have you been feeling sleepy and tired recently? Whereby, it is obvious that you haven’t done anything, but your appetite has increased?”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up, this seems reliable!

 

He was full of excitement: “It seems that you got it right this time. That’s right, those are my symptoms. Okay, tell me what’s the problem?”

 

The light ball simply said: “If the query is correct, you should be pregnant.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo’s face stiffened instantly. He looked at the information bracelet on his wrist: “You said that this bracelet is outdated, perhaps it is time to get a new one?”

 

The light ball cowardly said: “Please believe in the product. It may be the light ball, but it can be wrong too.”

 

“???”

 

Jian Luo had never heard something so outrageous: “I’m a man, you know. Can a man get pregnant?”

 

“Yes.” The light ball insisted on its own: “Men can.”

 

Jian Luo sneered: “If you were like me, with no husband, pus you don’t even have a room where…”

 

Halfway through his sentence, Jian Luo stopped.

 

As soon as the events of that night appeared in his mind, he had thought it was okay, but just thinking about it made his head buzz.

 

The ball of light said, “What else do you want to ask?”

 

Jian Luo said softly, “Help me check if humans and dragons can reproduce?”

 

“…”

 

This matter was far beyond the light ball’s cognition range, judging from how the light ball was suspiciously silent for a moment.

 

Jian Luo waited for a long time: “Can they?”

 

The ball of light was forced to elaborate: “There is no precedent, so there is no such information.”

 

Jian Luo let out a sigh of relief.

 

It seemed that this was pure nonsense. This damn ball of light was always misleading him and it was really scary. It should just be due to lunch.

 

The light ball gave up: “I suggest you go to the hospital for an examination.”

 

Jian Luo thought for a while and finally agreed: “Okay, I’ll take a look.”

 

Although he thought in his heart that he was highly unlikely to be pregnant, his health was still very important so it was imperative for him to check it out.

 

The next day.

 

Jian Luo came to work at Moonlight today.

 

Just arrived, Kazuki came over and said, “Luoluo. The boss is looking for you.”

 

“Why is the boss looking for me?” Jian Luo was very curious: “For arriving late and leaving early?”

 

Kazuki laughed and laughed: “It should be. In fact, you can see that the boss seems to be very easy to get along with. But in fact, he… is indeed easy to get along with. He has always been more relaxed when it comes to valuable people.”

 

Jian Luo asked: “What’s my value to him then?”

 

Kazuki thought for a while: “I think it’s probably because you cook delicious food and you created dishes that everyone knows about. The boss must also want to train you well.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo was a little desperate: “I just want to be an unremarkable little chef.”

 

Kazuki giggled: “The simple and unremarkable little chef did enter Moonlight so you should be grateful for your ordinaryness.”

 

Jian Luo smiled.

 

The two quickly walked to a door and Jian Luo knocked on it. A male voice came from inside: “Come in.”

 

Jian Luo pushed the doors and walked in.

 

The office was huge, resplendent with gold and blue. The curtains seem to be plated with a layer of bright light and all the tables and chairs were of expensive collections. If the whole room needs to be summarized in one word, it’ll probably be: Grandiose.

 

Nie Yan stood in front of a row of shelves, playing with a small teacup: “Do you know what this is?”

 

Jian Luo glanced at it and answered honestly, “I know.”

 

“Yeah.” Nie Yan’s mouth twitched into a smile: “Of course you know, this is the Tianshui cup brought back from Stan Star. It’s valuable because of its rarity and preciousness.”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

He wants to cut off all contact with the local tyrants.

 

Nie Yan put the cup back on the shelf. His stature was a little smaller than the average Dark Star, around the height of a normal human male, 1.8 meters tall. His face was relatively thin, which gave off a sense of shrewdness.

 

“You are also one of my collections.” Nie Yan turned around as his eyes slid around Jian Luo’s body: “Yesterday you showed your worth to me.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo just told the truth: “First and foremost, I just want to work hard and get paid.”

 

Nie Yan’s mouth twitched slightly: “I thought your salary was already high enough for a human being. As long as you take over and work well, you won’t be treated badly.”

 

Jian Luo was puzzled: “But I can only cook.”

 

Nie Yan went to the sofa beside him and sat down: ” I only need you to cook well. I told you about the seed cultivation place before. It has already been arranged for you. From tomorrow, if nothing out of the ordinary happens, come back to Moonlight.”

 

Jian Luo felt overjoyed.

 

He was very happy to cultivate new vegetables. If they were of use, the discovery of the new vegetables could also be used as a qualification to buy a house. It was like killing three birds with one stone.

 

Nie Yan said to him, “Choose some good vegetables that can be sold at a good price, understand?”

 

“…”

 

He was certainly a businessman.

 

Jian Luo resigned and said, “I will.”

 

Chili peppers were a national treasure. Any dish without chilies is soulless so Jian Luo wanted to cultivate chili peppers to change the hearts of others.

 

Nie Yan added: “I heard that you live broadcast. You can do it in the Moonlight in the future and you can use the ingredients as you like. Do you understand what you should say during the live broadcast?”

 

The corner of Jian Luo’s mouth twitched: “My popularity is low, it wouldn’t bring you any benefit.”

 

“Stupid.” Nie Yan flicked his eyelids to look at him: “Do you know what Moonlight is? It is the one that’s supporting and benefiting you understand?”

 

“…”

 

Let’s forget it. It’s as you said.

 

If he later decides to cook something, he will cook it. Just wait till he chooses the most expensive ingredients later, which will make others cry to death. 

 

Jian Luo responded, “Understood.”

 

Nie Yan waved his hand: “Let’s go.”

 

Jian Luo nodded and when he came out, he saw that Kazuki was guarding the outside. The little girl came over and said, “Luoluo, what did the boss say to you?”

 

Jian Luo scratched his head: “The boss seemed to have asked me to broadcast live in Moonlight.”

 

Kazuki was stunned.

 

Jian Luo looked at her suspiciously: “What’s the matter?”

 

“The boss is too kind to you.” An envious expression appeared on Kazuki’s face: “You know, the biggest food live streaming internet cafe had their most popular broadcaster rejected by us even if they wanted to come to Moonlight to promote themselves.”

 

Jian Luo hesitated: “Really?”

 

Kazuki said fiercely: “We are the most high-end restaurant in the world. No matter where they are from, everyone wants to see the Moonlight.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Then, let’s broadcast it here once.”

 

In fact, it doesn’t matter where the live broadcast is. He started the live broadcast to make money and Nie Yan didn’t seem to need him to cook for the guests, so he will be able to broadcast instead.

 

Back in the kitchen, Jian Luo hadn’t even gone in when he heard the people inside say:

“That Jian Luo. I only ever see his shadow every day at work.”

“Yeah, who knows what he’s here for.”

“Obviously he came through the backdoor.”

 

Kazuki was a little annoyed so she stood up and said loudly, “What are you whispering about!?”

 

Jian Luo took her arm and walked in slowly. He looked around at the people in the kitchen and smirked: “Am I disturbing everyone?”

 

The crowd was silent.

 

Jian Luo walked inside: “Please continue. I was just passing by.”

 

The more lighthearted he was, the less he seemed to care what others thought about him, which made the people who used to mock him now felt like a joke themselves, very mundane.

 

Jian Luo went to the stove behind. It was quiet and no one else was here. He remembered the live broadcast promised to the audience last night, and decided he could start it now.

 

Kazuki followed behind: “Do you want to broadcast live?”

 

“I didn’t bring the live broadcasting equipment.” Jian Luo suddenly remembered this: “Looks like I can’t live broadcast.”

 

Kazuki clapped her hands: “It doesn’t matter. We have one in our warehouse. Are you alright with using that if I bring it for you?”

 

Jian Luo: “Can you do that?”

 

Kazuki said quickly, “Of course I can.”

 

So Jian Luo followed Kazuki to the warehouse to get the live broadcast equipment. He thought that the equipment should be different from the small ball of the live broadcast equipment that he had, but he didn’t expect for the equipment to be a big ball!

 

Kazuki said: “It has many functions, such as viewing the number of people in the live broadcast room, automatic control of barrage, etc. You know, just the basics.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

Kazuki asked him, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

 

“Sorry.” Jian Luo said sincerely: “So these are considered its basic functions. The one I have at home doesn’t even have these functions.”

 

This time, Kazuki was silent.

 

After everything was settled, Jian Luo finally used the new equipment. He suddenly started the broadcast, thinking that there was no one in the live broadcast room, but who knew that it would become flooded in in an instant:

“Great! Is that you, the one who vomited?”

“Ah ah ah, I saw someone vomit so many years ago!”

“Can you perform again?”

 

…

 

Jian Luo was very speechless now.

 

The light ball broadcast: “Luoluo’s live broadcast room. The total number of people online last time was 100,000 and the number of people online this time is 250,000. Please make persistent efforts.”

 

Jian Luo was very curious: “What’s the matter? Did you guys come from the previous live broadcast room?”

 

The barrage saw him stunned and kindly explained:

“We came from Xingwang.”

“Xingwang showed a video of you throwing up.”

“Hey, I’ve only read it in the almanac before.”

 

Jian Luo’s heart skipped a beat, he was really outdated. He then went to Xingwang to watch the video that the audience watched. When he opened Xingwang, which he had not been on for a long time, he saw that the number one trending search was:

#Jinjiang live vomited#

#kill the fish and vomit#

 

Such a shameful hot search really made him speechless. Jian Luo wanted to complain that this group of Dark Stars were really mundane and excessive but when he clicked into the video, he was stunned. Watching the video, he say a group of people commenting:

“It’s been a long time since I was sick. I know what it feels like to vomit.”

“Humans are so fragile.”

“Is this the morning sickness mentioned in books?”

“I’m so envious, I’ve never experienced it before.”

“Did he open holographic sharing yesterday? I also want to experience it.”

 

Overnight, Jian Luo’s live broadcast room became popular because the powerful Dark Stars hardly got sick, so they also wanted to experience this feeling.

 

With the opening of the live broadcast room, more and more people poured in, and the big round ball actually recorded it: [Current online users are 300,000, 400,000, 500,000…]

 

Jian Luo was in a complicated mood: “You guys misunderstood, it’s just that my stomach felt bad yesterday.”

 

He thought it would be good if he explained it, but the audience became even more excited:

“Is your stomach still uncomfortable?”

“My God, I’ve never been uncomfortable.”

“What does it feel like to be uncomfortable?”

 

“…”

 

Go to hell, Dark Stars.

 

Jian Luo felt that she had a belly to vomit, but found that the Dark Stars are quite forceful. Although some of them are quite annoying, they were very generous while watching the live broadcast. Even if they were a little stingy, they swiped to reward him one by one whenever he refreshed the live broadcasting room.

 

Jian Luo took a deep breath: “Okay, everyone. Let’s start cooking.”

 

Even if he was at Moonlight today, he must still limit himself on the ingredients he is using, as though he were at home. Jian Luo touched the mic: “My stomach has been well for the past two days so let’s make a preserved egg and lean meat porridge.”

 

‌By entering the name in the smart freezer on the side, the freezer will automatically deliver one the required ingredients.

 

Jian Luo took out the eggs and said to himself, “This egg will taste even better if it is preserved. It will take about two months for a preserved egg to take shape. However, we will make a box of preserved eggs to eat tomorrow using my method. For now, let’s eat regular eggs today.”

 

As he lowered the bird eggs, the big ball of the live broadcast automatically followed his line of movement downwards before zooming in on the details of his hand. The small ball he had at home had a completely different working attitude and moved like a dead pig.

 

Jian Luo cracked the eggs and said, “Cook it for a while first, then add it in the porridge when it’s cooked. For now, let’s cut the meat.”

 

In the fridge

 

The meat of the noodles is automatically pushed out.

 

Jian Luo picked up the meat and prepared to cut it. The meat that had just been thawed slowly exuded a concealed fishy smell, which came and went, suddenly causing him to react violently. Even he himself was unprepared for what he did.

 

“Bang!”

 

The meat was thrown aside by Jian Luo. He covered his mouth and wanted to endure it, but as he was just holding the meat in his hands previously, the smell became even worse.

 

“Urp…”

 

Jian Luo rushed to the sink and threw up. His breakfast was all vomited out and a stream of gastric juices came out.

 

The audience in the live broadcast room was shocked stupid again:

“What happened?”

“You must be really sick.”

“Is he pregnant?”

“Do you have a problem with your brain in front of you, we may have cubs!”

 

Jian Luo straightened up and leaned against the sink to rest. He felt that he was really uncomfortable and it seemed that it was imperative he went to the hospital.

 

Kazuki heard the movement from behind: “Luoluo, what’s the matter with you?”

 

“Huh?” Jian Luo raised his head: “It’s nothing, maybe my stomach feels a little bad. I might’ve eaten something wrong yesterday.”

 

Kazuki knew that the human body was very fragile: “Luoluo, you want to go home and rest for two days?”

 

Jian Luo remembered that he had to cultivate new seeds tomorrow, so he said, “Can I ask for a leave today? I’ll come to work as usual tomorrow.”

 

Kazuki nodded: “It’s okay, I’ll tell the master for you later.”

 

Jian Luo is grateful: “Thank you.”

 

“It’s alright,” Kazuki said with a smile on her face: “We’re friends. You should go back quickly.”

 

Jian Luo had no choice but to nod. He went back to watch the live broadcast room and found that the number of online users reached 1.3 million, and this number was still rising.

 

The viewers were very crazy:

“I just felt the taste of vomit.”

“God, this feeling is so uncomfortable. I have never experienced it before.”

“Broadcast ball, continue broadcasting your colleague too. He knows.”

 

“…”

 

Go to hell, Dark Stars.

 

Jian Luo thought for a bit about the broadcast before he packed up and went home. On his way back, he received a call from the school.

 

“Hello, Jian Luo.” A voice came from over the receiver: “Your brother will be able to enroll in these two days. If it is convenient, please bring the relevant documents and bring your brother to go through the formalities.”

 

Jian Luo asked, “Can I do it today?”

 

The professor nodded: “Of course you can.”

 

Jian Luo thought for a while and decided to go to the hospital later. It would be better to take his younger brother to go through the admission procedures first.

 

So he sent a message home: “Mom, take brother to the station and take a taxi back later. I’ll take him to school to enroll.”

 

Su Liang was surprised: “So fast?”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “The school just notified me.”

 

“That’s good.” Su Liang replied: “Luoluo, will it disturb your work? You can ask mother to send him there too.”

 

Jian Luo said: “It’s alright. I went last time so I am familiar with the place. Don’t worry.”

 

In fact, when it came to the accommodation fee, he had deceived Su Liang. It was 30,000 Star Dollars but he said it was 3,000 Star Dollars. However, if this woman knew that it was so expensive, she would definitely feel guilty again.

 

There was a ‘en’ before she hung up. 

 

…

 

“Big brother!”

 

Jian Luo was on the platform as he waited for his younger brother. He took him to the school and said, “Get along well with your classmates. If it has anything, talk to us, your family first. You are not lower than them and you can be friends. Doing so requires some strength, you know?”

 

Please be obedient, little brother.

 

When the two entered the school, an extended version of a luxurious car drove by their side. It had a red number plate, indicating that they were very rich or important. 

 

The little emperor was looking out the window, his eyes lit up: “Uncle Huang, is that Luoluo?”

Lu Shifeng was closing his eyes and resting, when he heard the voice and raised his eyelids, he was sure: “It’s him.”

 

“Luoluo also has a child.” The little emperor asked: “Is it his child?”

 

“…”

 

The temperature inside the car dropped by one degree.

 

Half a second later.

 

Lu Shifeng said: “He has no children, that is his younger brother.”

 

The little emperor blinked: “How can Uncle Huang be so familiar with Nie Yan’s chef?”

 

“Your Majesty is interested in that chef.” Lu Shifeng glanced at him lightly, and hurriedly said, “So it’s normal for me to be a little familiar with his conditions.”

 

The little emperor pouted: “You have no other intentions?”

 

Lu Shifeng mentionned only the perfunctory: “Exceedingly so.”

 

The cloud car gradually drove into the teaching center. The little emperor came this time to find the principal to discuss something. After meeting Jian Luo, the little emperor was even more determined to support the entry of human beings into the campus. He wanted to conduct the pilot project on this campus.

 

The emperor said, “Can uncle accompany me inside?”

 

“Tsk.” Lu Feng sat in the car and moved: “I’m upset to see that old man.”

 

“…”

 

How annoying.

 

The little emperor went in by himself. Jian Luo, who walked behind slowly, was still chatting with his younger brother: “Did you see that? I will study hard in the future so that I can afford that car.”

 

His younger brother asked, “Brother, do you want to buy such a car?”

 

“What nonsense. If you can sit, you wouldn’t want to stand, would you?”

 

“…Yes.”

 

The two brothers walked farther and farther inside. Afterwards, Jian Luo finally met the professor in the office on the first floor: “You told me to come. I’ve come here to go through with  the formalities for my brother.”

 

The professor was the same professor who received him that day.

 

The man said, “You’re too polite, call me Mr. Wang. Is Jian Sheng already here? Xiao Li, take the child to the dormitory. I’ll talk to his guardian!”

 

Xiao Li in the office stood up and responded, “Okay.”

 

There was no one in the office, and Professor Wang said to Jian Luo, “Is Jian Xian doing well recently?”

 

Jian Luo felt a little strange, but despite the strange feeling in his heart, he replied, “He’s okay.”

 

“That’s good.” Professor Wang wiped his glasses: “Jian Sheng still has some books and materials to pick up. I’ll take you there.”

 

Jian Luo hesitated for a while before saying, “Okay.”

 

The two walked out side by side, turned a corridor, and seemed to be going to some isolated place. Jian Luo slowly stopped: “Mr. Wang, I’ll take it later when my brother comes back.”

 

Professor Wang made a move: “It’s okay, we can go get it. We’ll be there soon.”

 

Jian Luo agreed before he began to step back slowly: “I suddenly remembered something urgent so I’ll go and make a phone call first.”

 

He was about to turn around when his arm was grabbed.

 

The Dark Stars are tall and mighty. Human beings cannot break free even with all their strength: “Mr. Jian, I like you very much and I’m your fan. Do you have to be so ruthless?”

 

Jian Luo froze.

 

“Every time I watch your live broadcast, I think your hands are very beautiful.” Professor Wang’s hand rubbed vaguely on Jian Luo’s hand: “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time…”

 

Jian Luo got goosebumps all over and he suddenly wanted to withdraw his hand: “Please…”

 

But the strength of a human being is too weak. He would not let go of Jian Luo no matter what. His face flushed red as he became more agitated.

 

Professor Wang grabbed him and pulled the person in front of him forcefully: “You played this game yourself. Live broadcasting to hook up with a Dark star who is going to launch your status higher. Why are you being so coy and pretending today? Here’s your chance, you should know what to do!”

Chapter 42 – That child is called Xing Zhongwan

Chapter 42 – That child is called Xing Zhongwan

 

In a huge ward, coughing sounds were heard from time to time as a pair of scrawny hands were holding a glass of water while flipping through documents. There was a knock on the door and a person came in through the door, walked to the hospital bed and called out to the chairman respectfully.

 

The person on the hospital bed took off her reading glasses and looked at the person beside her bed, “What did Chen Ying say?” 

 

The person answered respectfully, “Secretary Chen sent only one sentence. He asked if it was necessary to investigate the man beside Young Master Yun.”

 

Shen Qinghong coughed twice, “What happened recently?” The person who came only repeated the general overview of the matter to her.

 

“I see. Tell him not to act rashly and just follow Yun’er. As for you, call Elder Li in.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Shen Qinghong was half lying on the bed with her eyes closed as a few words flashed in her mind constantly. Yun’er, are you really attracted to a man? Just because he helped you in your worst time? No, that can’t be.

 

Shen Qinghong slowly opened her eyes. Qi Yun, you’re not that kind of person!

 

After a while, the door of the ward opened and an old man with gray hair walked in, “Chairman, what are your orders?” Shen Qinghong beckoned to him, “There are no outsiders here, so don’t call me the chairman.”

 

The elder took a few more steps as he said, “Yes, miss.”

 

Shen Qinghong coughed a few times, “Uncle Li, do you still remember the Xing family?”

 

The old man bowed respectfully and lowered his head, “In the early years when I was with the eldest young lady, I had a chance to meet Mr. Xing several times.”

 

Shen Qinghong chuckled lightly. Yes, in the early years, the Xing family had were such a beautiful image. At that time, her father had just passed away and her mother took her to Xing’s house. The astonishment when she first saw Xing Yanyin was vivid in her mind. A man like that made her feel ashamed as a woman. As the eldest Shen family, who was born prominent and never knew what an inferiority complex was, lowered her head for the first time.

 

“Uncle Li, do you still remember how many children there are in the Xing family?” 

The old man paused and seemed to be deep in thought, “There should be Xing Zhengping’s eldest daughter Xing Zhongjie and another…”

 

Shen Qinghong sighed softly, “It’s Qian Yi’s1Xing Zhongwan mother’s name. son. When their mother and son were kicked out of the Xing family, I happened to be out of the country. It’s a pity I couldn’t reach out and help them. Qian Yi was such a good woman…cough cough cough”

 

Shen Qinghong coughed violently as Uncle Li hurriedly stepped forward, “Miss, you can’t get too emotional, it’ll exacerbate your illness.”

 

Shen Qinghong’s face turned pale from coughing, “Uncle Li, do you remember the name of that child?”

 

Uncle Li looked worried that the young lady’s body wouldn’t last any longer. 

 

“I remember. When the young master of the Xing family was born, the old man Xing specially invited miss.  His name was given by miss, and he is called Xing Zhongwan.”

 

Shen Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief. He had a beautiful face and was good to Qi Yun. She got her answer right away.

 

Back then, the kindness shown to his mother was the cause, which resulted in Qi Yun’s feelings today. That child was just here to repay the kindness from those previous years.

 

Yun’er, I’m afraid that while you grew feelings due to his kindness, the other didn’t mean for them to happen. After all, it was just a misunderstanding.

 

Xing Zhongwan used a pair of chopsticks to place the bitter gourd in Qi Yun’s bowl. Qi Yun picked it up and sniffed it as his brows wrinkled involuntarily. After that, he ate it without a change in his expression. Xing Zhongwan watched happily, “It alleviates the heat and detoxifies. It’s good for your body so don’t be picky.”

 

The bitter taste in his mouth made Qi Yun feel bad, but what can he do? He must eat whatever Wanwan has given him..

 

Chen Ying silently walked to Qi Yun’s side and called out to the young master. Xing Zhongwan looked at him and knew that he had something to say, so he went upstairs after making up an excuse.

 

Qi Yun put down his chopsticks and his face regained its usual coldness, “Is it something you must mention right now?”

 

The dissatisfaction in his tone made the attendants behind him involuntarily take two steps back.

 

“Master Yun, what you ordered has been done. The fourth young master should have been invited for tea.”

 

Qi Yun touched his very rounded fingernails that were cut by Wanwan, which were well done. He seemed to be good at everything he does.

 

“There is one more thing. Regarding the person who investigated Madam Qi, I don’t think their purpose in doing so was simple.”

 

Qi Yun let go of his hand, “What else could their purpose be? Isn’t my mother his weakness, the Qi’s fourth young master? Apart from me and you, who else knows I was drugged?”

 

Chen Ying couldn’t believe it, “Are you talking about the young madam?” 

 

A hint of tenderness flashed in Qi Yun’s eyes. Apart from my Wanwan, who else could be so smart, secretly trying to help me bring down the biggest opposition? Were you Lei Feng2A nationally advertised person from the communist party of China. He was used an a good example of how an upstanding citizen should be during Mao Zedong’s rule., not leaving your name behind after doing good deeds?

 

The smile in Qi Yun’s eyes deepened.

 

“Master, aren’t you curious about the identity of the young madam? With all due respect, to dig up something so deeply hidden, it must not have been easy. Are you really not curious about the identity of the young madam? Besides, you… trust him too much.”

 

“Wanwan won’t hurt me!” Qi Yun’s tone was very determined. “If I guessed right, Shen Qinghong disallowed you from investigating him privately. With her personality, she would not put a ticking time bomb by my side without 100% certainty. She must know Wanwan’s identity.”

 

Chen Ying was still a little worried, “I still think…”

 

Qi Yun interrupted him, “Do you think he wants to hurt me? Even if he wanted something from me, he didn’t need to help me clean up my mess and clear the obstacles in my way. As he was able to dig up such deeply concealed information, his own background is probably also not simple. With his personality, he hates to be tied down, loves freedom and is not someone who enjoys fighting for power and profit. To him, the Shen family and the Qi family are burdens. It’s just that I’m in this power-struggle so he had no choice but to join in. I’ve abetted him.”

 

Chen Ying couldn’t refute Qi Yun’s words.

 

Qi Yun didn’t say a word. In fact, he always felt that he and Wanwan had known each other for a long time. A voice in his subconscious kept telling him that this person could be trusted. In his nearly thirty years of life, Qi Yun has never read anyone wrongly.

 

Upstairs, Xing Zhongwan read a few emails and dealt with several business affairs. Cheng Zhengzhe and Xue Qing were about to cry to death. They were so busy that they were about to ascend to the skies. Xue Qing sent him a message saying that if he continued being this busy, she would change soon. Xing Zhongwan smiled and shook his head. 

 

At this moment Xue Qing came in with a voice, “Laoxing, I heard that Qi’s fourth young master’s hand was dealt a heavy blow! He was invited out for tea today, but it was said that he was caught on the spot sniffing drugs with his groupies. He was not only doing drugs, but also selling them. What do you think? It is too much of a coincidence that this happened when the handover for inheritance is so near. Your little Yun’er did it. How ruthless!”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a while, “Who did you hear this from?”

 

After a while, he received another call. Xing Zhongwan answered it.

 

“Laoniang was well-informed. Qi Zongcheng won’t be able to hold back this time. Just wait, tomorrow’s headlines will definitely explode! Your little Yun really is cruel. How could it be said that he came out of the same mother’s womb? He didn’t even leave any room for a bit of pity!”

 

Xing Zhongwan lay back on the bed, “When they were after his life, they never thought that he was born from his own mother’s womb.”

 

Xue Qing laughed, “This is all well-deserved then. There is still a lot of work. The person you asked about suddenly disappeared after I followed his trail. It is not easy. Someone had the same motive as us. Can you guess who it is? Laoxing, I think you won’t need to worry more. Your Qi Yun is a little wolf who pretends to be good in front of you with his claws all closed. You won’t lose out, but I’ll remind you. Do not be fooled, a wolf’s claws will hurt!”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted, hung up, and threw the phone on the bed.

 

The little wolf with the claws that only pretends to be pitiful in front of him was also cute, isn’t it?

 

The sound of the wheelchair came. Xing Zhongwan got up and saw Qi Yun at the door. He reached out before knocking on the half-open door, “Can I come in?”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, “If I say no, you won’t come in?”

 

Qi Yun also smiled, “Then I’ll wait at the door until you agree for me to come in.”

 

Xing Zhongwan got out of bed, squatted down in front of Qi Yun, raised his head and looked at him, “Then, my dear prince, what is your business with me?”

 

Qi Yun’s neck was a little red, “I’m here to pick up my princess and go back to our room to sleep. I wonder if the princess would like to come with me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s heartily laughed and Qi Yun breathed a sigh of relief despite turning more red.

 

“I’ve never seen someone blush this much.”

 

​​Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun, who was blushing. No matter how terrible you are in the eyes of others, you always have kindness in my heart. I always believe that you also have a soft side to your heart.

 

Qi Yun rubbed Xing Zhongwan’s face, bent down and got closer, “Wanwan, can I kiss you?”

 

He said this carefully as Xing Zhongwan looked at him very closely.

 

He doesn’t know if he will have the opportunity to look at him so closely in the future, so he’ll just indulge him, even if it is the last time.

 

Xing Zhongwan hooked Qi Yun’s neck, raised his chin and kissed him.

 

At the moment when their lips and tongues were entangled, Qi Yun’s face flashed a hint of incredulity. He then took the initiative to kiss Wanwan himself, a kind of joy rippling from the bottom of his heart out of control.

 

He couldn’t help but step forward and hug him tightly, the pine wood fragrance becoming stronger and stronger. Qi Yun thought that he and Wanwan were one step closer than before.

 

Chen Ying took the document in his hand and read it carefully several times.

 

“Secretary Chen, are you sure you want to send it? Should I ask Master Yun for instructions on this matter?”

 

Chen Ying handed the document over, “Just carry it out. The best time is now while the fuse is hot. Don’t give them a chance.”

 

“But by doing this, the young madam…”

 

“Find some tricky angles which don’t reveal his face.”

 

The people under him stood at the same spot, hesitating. Chen Ying sullenly said, “I’ll take care of it if something goes wrong, so do as I say!”

 

Chen Ying rubbed his sore forehead. For you and for what the old lady has entrusted him with during her lifetime, Chen Ying will make himself worthy of her trust.
