Chapter 60

May 27, 2022 / / 2 Comments

       Li Zhenruo knew that Li Jianglin was not his own father, but the imposing aura was still there after years. To be honest, he was a little flustered at this moment. However, when he saw Li Zhenran calmly get up and put on his clothes, he thought that it was Li Zhenran’s father and not his father anyway. If he was not nervous, what was he being so nervous for? So he sat up and asked hesitantly, “Do I just go out like this?”

       Li Zhenran glanced at him and said, “I would advise you to put your clothes on.”

       Li Zhenruo resisted the urge to roll his eyes and pulled the quilt to cover his lower body, “You said he should have heard it, right?”

       Li Zhenran sat on the edge of the bed and put on his trousers, “En”, “Find some clothes to put on and go out with me.”

       Li Zhenruo understood that Li Zhenran planned to simply confess to Li Jianglin. The soundproofing in this room should be good, but Li Jianglin was not a fool. His son had been locked in it for so long in the daytime, so there was something wrong with it, right? And he asked Hua Yibang not to notify Li Zhenran, which was like he knew something in advance.

       Li Zhenruo suddenly felt that he was someone who made an inauspicious remark. He had just imagined the worst situation and now he had to face it. He got off the bed, walked barefoot to the closet, opened the door, and deliberately picked out a better-looking piece of clothing since the truth was out. He wondered if Li Jianglin would not be so angry because of this?

       He didn’t put on his clothes for a long time, Li Zhenran came over to help him pull up his coat, and then squatted down and put socks on him.

       Probably because of Li Zhenran’s bland attitude, Li Zhenruo felt that it was no big deal at this time. Li Jianglin kicked him out of the Li family, then he hooked up with his son as revenge.

       As he thought of this, Li Zhenruo raised his foot to step between Li Zhenran’s legs. As the result, Li Zhenran squeezed his ankle so hard that his leg was numb.

       When he opened the door of the lounge, Li Zhenruo followed Li Zhenran and walked out. Sure enough, he saw Li Jianglin sitting on the sofa in the office.

       Li Jianglin leaned back against the back of the sofa, but he sat very straight, his crutch was in front of him, and his hands were on the crutch. Li Zhenruo didn’t know when he came in and how much he heard, but Li Zhenruo and Li Zhenran didn’t even notice. Looking at his expression, he was calm, not furious, but not smiling. Perhaps it was because he had seen the third son hooked up with the eldest daughter-in-law, so the second son fooling around with the little assistant was not a major blow to him.

       When he saw Li Jianglin, Li Zhenruo suddenly felt a little distressed for him, so he simply hid behind Li Zhenran and did not appear, pretending to be nervous.

       However, Li Jianglin’s gaze still passed over Li Zhenran, looked at Li Zhenruo up and down for a moment, and then returned to Li Zhenran’s face.

       “Dad,” Li Zhenran called out.

       Li Zhenrou grabbed the hem of Li Zhenran’s clothes and did not speak.

       At this moment, Li Zhenran surprisingly turned his hands behind his back and grabbed Li Zhenruo’s hand, digging into the palm of his hand.

       Li Zhenruo didn’t know whether to say Li Zhenran was heartless or shameless.

       Li Jianglin ignored Li Zhenran, but said to Li Zhenruo, “Li Tuan, I remember you said you were Luo Fei’s cousin, right?”

       Li Zhenruo nodded and said, “Yes.”

       Li Jianglin added, “I remember that you are not yet twenty years old. Your cousin sent you for an internship, but you are sleeping with a man here. Do you think it is appropriate?”

       Li Zhenruo grabbed Li Zhenran’s hand and did not speak.

       Li Jianglin sighed, and then said to Li Zhenran, “I have something to tell you, let this young man be excused.”

       Li Zhenruo said in his heart that Li Jianglin was planning to teach Li Zhenran a lesson, so he let the outsider leave first. So before Li Zhenran answered, he took the initiative to say, “I’m going out first, Mr. Li.”

       After speaking, Li Zhenruo let go of Li Zhenran’s hand and walked out of the office.

       Li Zhenran didn’t stop him, but walked to the sofa and sat down.

       As he went out of the office, Hua Yibang sat in front of his desk, raised his head to look at Li Zhenruo, with such an expression on his face, and then glanced at the closed door of the office, probably worried about Li Zhenran.

       Li Zhenruo said, “The father and son want to chat, I’ll go out for a walk.”

       Hua Yibang nodded.

       Li Zhenruo opened the office door and walked out. He stood by the wall with his back against the wall for a while, and stood there quietly for a while, sighing.

       Opposite the corridor was Li Zhenzi’s office. At this time, the office door was tightly closed, and he didn’t know if anyone was still inside.

       He knew that Li Zhenzi often left the company after meeting and dealing with the affairs in his hand, and he was more at Yunyi than at Yunlin. He was bored and walked along the corridor alone. The reason why Li Zhenruo didn’t want to stay in the office was that he felt a little confused in his heart and didn’t want to be alone with Hua Yibang.

       He found that he was not as good as Li Zhenran, and he was still not calm enough to face these things.

       Unconsciously, he walked to the stairwell. There were hardly any people walking in the stairwell here, and it looked very gloomy. Before Li Zhenruo got close, he heard the voice of someone talking inside.

       The stairwell was transparent up and down, and a sound could be heard from far away. Obviously, it was not the person on this floor who was talking, but Li Zhenruo could still hear it clearly while standing next to the fire door.

       The voice came from the downstairs floor, and it was someone on a phone. Downstairs was Li Zhentai’s office, and this person’s voice Li Zhenruo could hear, was Li Zhentai’s assistant Gao Qi.

       Li Zhenruo didn’t know who Gao Qi was talking to on the phone, but his attitude was fierce, and he looked a little out of breath.

       Li Zhenruo squatted beside the fire door and heard Gao Qi shout to the person over the phone, “I don’t have that much money! Zhentai doesn’t want to lend it to me!”

       After a while, Gao Qi said again, “Settle your own troubles.”

       Then Gao Qi seemed to hang up the phone. The leather shoes made dull sounds as he stepped on the ground and left the stairwell with dull footsteps.

       Li Zhenruo squatted for a while and thought that Gao Qi might be able to become a breakthrough in Li Zhentai’s matter, and this trip was an unexpected gain.

       After a while, Li Zhenruo heard the door of Li Zhenran’s office opened and saw Hua Yibang helping Li Jianglin out from inside.

       He quickly stood up, hesitated for a while and stood still.

       Li Jianglin nodded to him, but did not mean to call him over, and walked towards the elevator with the help of Hua Yibang.

       Li Zhenruo waited in place and waited for them to enter the elevator before walking towards Li Zhenran’s office.

       After he entered, he found that Li Zhenran was already sitting behind his large desk, turning around and looking outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

       “He—what did he say to you?” Li Zhenruo asked as he walked inside.

       Li Zhenran turned to look at him and smiled, “A lot of things, what do you want to hear?”

       Li Zhenruo looked at him with some doubts. He knew that Li Zhenran didn’t take Li Jianglin’s attitude to heart, but he felt that Li Zhenran was too careless. Why wasn’t he afraid that Li Jianglin’s attitude towards him would change in the future and the whole Yunlin could fall on someone else?

       Li Zhenruo walked up to Li Zhenran and said, “I guess, no matter what he said, in any case, it’s not possible to just mess around with you, right?”

       Li Zhenran reached out and wrapped his arms around his waist, “You are right, but you don’t need to worry, I got everything.”

       Li Zhenruo had to admit that he was very moved by Li Zhenran’s words. If Li Zhenran was kicked out by Li Jianglin, and he could also say to him “don’t worry, I got everything”, he promised that he would never give up on Li Zhenran from now on.

       He couldn’t help but put his forehead on top of Li Zhenran’s head, and suddenly noticed that a stack of photos was scattered on the desk, so he stretched out his hand to get it, and when he opened it, it turned out that all of them were photos of him and Li Zhenran.

       “Li Jianglin brought it?” Li Zhenruo asked.

       Li Zhenran said “um”, “Average candid photography skills.”

       At first, he was just sceptical, but now Li Zhenruo felt sure of his own thoughts, “Did Li Zhentai do it?”

       Li Zhenran casually shook the office chair from side to side, “The old man didn’t say that, what do you think?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I have nothing to say. Whether it’s him or not, I’m betting it’s him.”

       At dinner that day, the anger was a little subtle.

       Li Zhenruo still didn’t know what Li Jianglin and Li Zhenran—father and son said, but Li Jianglin was really calm, and he hadn’t said anything since Li Zhenran went home in the afternoon until dinner.

       For dinner tonight, Wang Ma cooked a small fish for Li Zhenruo.

       Li Zhenruo was lying at Li Zhenran’s feet, licked the fish with his flat mouth, and suddenly heard Li Zhentai asked about the construction company of the Qijiang project.

       Li Zhenran chatted with him while eating.

       Li Jianglin suddenly said, “It would be great if the fourth child was still there.”

       As soon as he said these words, everyone at the table fell silent.

       Li Zhentai could hardly hide the surprise in his expression, while Li Zhenran frowned slightly.

       It was Wen Chun who spoke up and comforted, “Dad, don’t be sad.”

       In fact, not to mention them, even Li Zhenruo, who was lying under the table, was also surprised. If he was really Li Jianglin’s son, it was nothing weird to be said, but he was not.

       Li Jianglin suddenly said to Li Zhentai and Li Zhenran that he missed him. No matter how he thought about it, it was abnormal.

       After he said that, Li Jianglin put down his chopsticks and stood up.

       When Wang Ma saw this, she asked, “Not going to eat more?”

       Li Jianglin shook his head, “No more.”

       In the evening, Li Zhenruo was lying on the windowsill watching Li Jianglin walking back and forth in the garden downstairs. He walked from here to there alone, stopped and stood there for a long time, and then slowly walked back to this side.

       Li Jianglin had something on his mind, mostly because of Li Zhenran. But he was so melancholy, and Li Zhenruo really couldn’t figure out what he was doing.

       Suddenly mentioning him, most likely he felt that the other three children were just causing him to worry.

       Li Zhenran had already come out of the shower, walked to the window and scooped up Li Zhenruo with one hand, put him on his chest and lay down on the bed.

       Li Zhenruo lay quietly on his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat.

       In fact, Li Zhenran seemed to be a bit of a homebody in Li Zhenruo’s eyes. In the past, he found it difficult to understand; the world was so wonderful, and while you were young should go out to see more and play more, why should one always nestle at home?

       But now, for the first time, he felt that he was in a good mood even if he was just staying with the person he liked, even if he did nothing.

       Before he knew it, it was already dark. Li Zhenruo was lying in Li Zhenran’s arms, half asleep listening to the sound of Li Zhenran’s sound turning over the book, and suddenly noticed some commotion outside.

       There was not much movement, and Li Zhenran didn’t seem to notice it, but Li Zhenruo pricked up his ears, then turned over and rushed out of the window.

       Li Zhenran sat up and asked, “What?”

       But Li Zhenruo didn’t have time to answer him. He rushed out of the window, climbed down the floor along the pipe, and ran towards Erhuang’s kennel. Sure enough, he saw a person standing there trying to lead Erhuang away.

       Li Zhenruo pounced quickly, and the whole cat landed on the man’s face.

       “fvck!” Zhu Kai, who was pounced to the ground, cursed lowly. He reached out and grabbed Li Zhenruo to pull him off.

       Erhuang, who couldn’t hold back his excitement at all, saw Zhu Kai and Li Zhenruo rolling into a ball on the ground, thinking it was some interesting game, and finally couldn’t help wagging his tail and barking loudly.

       Li Zhenran was the first to come out of the house to see this scene, and soon Wang Ma, Li Zhentai, and Wen Chun also heard the movement, and the gardener and driver at home all ran towards it.

       Finally, Li Jianglin appeared on the crutch.

Chapter 47 – Do you not want the other hand anymore?

May 27, 2022 / / 1 Comment

Chapter 47 – Do you not want the other hand anymore?

 

When Xing Zhongwan and Xue Qing got into the car, Xue Qing took out a receiver from the back of the car, debugged it, and turned it on.

 

A hint of surprise flashed across Xing Zhongwan’s face, “What’s this?”

 

Xue Qing raised her voice, “I put a bug in Qi Yun’s room.” 

 

When she entered Qi Yun’s ward just now, Xue Qing placed it on the coffee table opposite the hospital bed. It was an eavesdropping device.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at the busy Xue Qing, a little helpless, “What are you trying to do?”

 

Xue Qing closed the car door, “I want to let you see what kind of person Qi Yun is behind your back.”

 

The conversation between Qi Yun and Qi Zongcheng was clearly transmitted through the radio as Xue Qing lit a cigarette and Xing Zhongwan listened. At the end, after turning off the receiver, he turned his head to look at Xue Qing, “Are we still going to eat?”

 

Xue Qing squeezed the cigarette in her hand and looked at Xing Zhongwan carefully. His face was surprisingly calm.

 

She started the car and left the hospital. Along the way, Xing Zhongwan quietly closed his eyes with a cigarette in his mouth as the car window was half-opened, not knowing what to think.

 

Xue Qing raised her hand and touched his arm, “You don’t have anything to say?”

 

Xing Zhongwan opened his eyes, the cigarette holder was bitten badly by him, he took it down and looked at it, “What can I say?”

 

Xue Qing punched the steering wheel, “Qi Yun, that white-eyed wolf1An ungrateful and vicious person.. You treated him so well, but look at how he treats you!”

 

Xing Zhongwan chuckled, “Are we going to eat? I’m hungry.”

 

In the exquisite box, Xing Zhongwan had a normal expression while eating mustard cabbages while Xue Qing drank several glasses of wine angrily.

 

“Don’t drink too much. This mustard dish tastes really authentic, you should try it.”

 

Xue Qing angrily put down the wine glass in her hand, “If your heart feels uncomfortable, just say it, okay? I feel heartache if you’re like this too.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a cup of water from the side and sipped it before saying, “Why should I be uncomfortable? Because of what Qi Yun said? Well, I feel a little uncomfortable, but what can I do? If I scold him or even beat him, anger obviously can’t solve the problem. Besides, he’s about to have surgery…”

 

Xue Qing raised her voice, “Xing Zhongwan! Did you know that Qi Yun even used his own medical condition as a bargaining chip? What’s less than 50%? He lied to you! When I came back, Professor Gao told me that he had told him long ago that in the final assessment, Qi Yun’s surgery had a very high probability of success. In order to hold you back, Qi Yun pretended to be so pitiful. Regarding those photos before… Alright, I don’t care! But we both heard what he said to Qi Zongcheng today. You can consider that he lied because he was reluctant to let you go, but I believe he dragged you in to make you his shield!”

 

Xue Qing was so angry her face turned pale. Xing Zhongwan’s hand that was holding the cup shook, as he raised his head, “Did you say that his surgery has a high chance of success?”

 

Xue Qing snorted, took the red wine bottle on the side before pouring it into a goblet.

 

Xing Zhongwan put down the cup and took a deep breath, but looked blankly at the corner of the box, “That’s good.” 

 

His tone was calm, and there was no emotion.

 

Xue Qing was stunned. Seeing Xing Zhongwan was speechless for a long time, she finally tipped her head to empty the red wine in the glass, “You really like Qi Yun.”

 

Xing Zhongwan picked up the chopsticks again and picked up his bowl. He ate the rice one bite at a time without stopping.

 

Xue Qing scratched the fringe on the top of her head irritably, “I should have dragged you back in the first place too! Even if he was a serial killer, after looking at Qi Yun’s face for a long time, even a stone statue will be tempted, not to mention the way he pretends to be pitiful in front of you. Now I really regret it! This thing can’t be known by that drag queen. Otherwise, he will have to come over with a knife and chop someone! Goddamn this fate!”

 

Xing Zhongwan ate the rice in the bowl cleanly, “Qi Yun’s surgery is the day after tomorrow. We can go back after packing up a little.”

 

Xue Qing wanted to say a few words to Xing Zhongwan, but when she opened her mouth, she didn’t know what to say. Xing Zhongwan’s reaction was too calm and it was not normal.

 

Xue Qing took Xing Zhongwan’s shoulders, “It’s good to go back. There are so many bad things happening when we come back. It seems that we are only ever at war here, see how good it is to be abroad. What kind of beauty do we want? No, a Qi Yun is nothing. Let’s go and get out for our peace of mind. When we get back, we will invite that drag queen and the three of us will go out together and wash away the bad luck.”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, but his eyes were on the bracelet on his wrist and he did not return to his senses for a long time.

 

While Xing Zhongwan remade the porridge for Qi Yun, he burned it twice. Xing Zhongwan washed the rice for the third time, added water and put the pot on the stove. Looking at the bright red flame, Xing Zhongwan suddenly threw the wooden spoon in his hand into the sink. With his hands on the side of the sink, Xing Zhongwan pursed his lips. Qi Yun, how do you want to use me? I won’t object, but you can’t use your illness as a pretext. What I hate most is when others lie to me.

 

Xing Zhongwan closed his eyes, calmed down and opened them again. There was no trace of turbulence in those beautiful eyes.

 

Xing Zhongwan sat beside the hospital bed and watched Qi Yun drink porridge quietly as he played with the car keys in his hand.

 

Qi Yun took a few sips and stopped, “Wanwan, you are very quiet today.” 

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, “Really? Maybe I’m just tired.”

 

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and asked for his’. Xing Zhongwan was stunned. After a while, he stretched out his hand to let Qi Yun hold it, “Then go back and rest for a while. Don’t tire yourself.”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun’s peaceful eyebrows and suddenly remembered how he looked when he first saw him. Now that he has recovered to this point, he suddenly realized how much effort he has spent on him.

 

Xing Zhongwan said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

 

Just as he was talking, someone hurriedly came in from the door of the ward, “Third young master, it’s not good!”

 

Glancing at Xing Zhongwan, he stopped but Qi Yun said, “Go ahead.”

 

“Third young master, the fourth young master has been released on bail. Take a look at this…”

 

Xing Zhongwan got up, “I’ll go out first.” When he took the bowl in Qi Yun’s hand, Qi Yun grabbed Xing Zhongwan’s hand, “Are you coming again at night?”

 

“I will come.” Xing Zhongwan smiled and walked out the door with his hands in his trouser pockets.

 

When he came to the door, he looked back at Qi Yun. The person sitting on the hospital bed was both familiar and unfamiliar, Xing Zhongwan lowered the corner of his mouth and touched the braid on the back of his head. This hair should really be cut!

 

Qi Yun frowned. Wanwan’s mood was not right. Something must have happened. The inexplicable confusion made him unable to be at peace. Did Xue Qing say something to him? Qi Yun rubbed his aching forehead, he should have made it clear to Wanwan.

 

“Third young master, what do you think we should do next?”

 

Qi Yun waved his hand, “Don’t look for him. He will come to me. Qi’s fourth young master has nowhere to go already. Qi Zongcheng made a good decision to find someone to set him free so that he’ll deliberately look for me. He bailed him out because he wanted him to find trouble with me. He also believed that I would not let Qi’s fourth young master go free. Using this trick to kill both his problems, what a good plan.”

 

Qi Yun thought for a while, “Send someone to follow the young madam. Be sure to protect him.”

 

“Yes!”

 

As soon as Xing Zhongwan left the hospital, he found someone trailing behind him. Xing Zhongwan looked at the rearview mirror indifferently with a cigarette in his mouth as he picked up his mobile phone and called Xue Qing, “I’m not going to see my mother anymore. There’s a tail on me.”

 

Xue Qing snorted, “If Laoniang didn’t see your facial expression. I would really want to f-ck that little bastard Qi Yun to death!”

 

Xing Zhongwan was amused by her, “Can’t you talk in a more refined way?”

 

Xue Qing snorted, “Are you going to lead them away?”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned the steering wheel, “No, I’ll take the kids behind me for a ride.”

 

Hanging up the phone and sitting back, Xing Zhongwan raised his long and narrow eyebrows as a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. Come, brother will lead you and take you drifting, you can follow if you want!

 

After Qi Yun finished the last check, he was pushed back to the ward. He heard the people around him answering the phone, “What? You lost him? How could you lose track? Hurry up and find a way to find him!”

 

Qi Yun turned his head and looked over, “Who was lost?” The attendant said cautiously, “It’s the young madam. The person we sent out has lost track of the young madam!” Qi Yun turned his head and looked cold, “You won’t be able to live if you don’t find him!”

 

The attendant almost knelt down, “Yes, yes. We are finding him now!”

 

“Who are you looking for? My good brother, did you lose the little beauty beside you?!”

 

A strange voice came from the front of Qi Yun. The bodyguards around him quickly guarded and blocked the front of him.

 

“You really had the guts to come.”

 

Qi’s fourth young master wore a peaked cap on his head and looked shy, “My brother, you have prepared such a big gift for me, of course I have to come to thank you!”

 

Qi’s fourth young master, who was wearing a bandage, took off the hat on his head. There was a new long wound on his forehead.

 

“Good brother, you are so ruthless. Does that little beauty beside you know that?”

 

Qi Yun’s face was expressionless, “Do you not want your other hand anymore?”

Chapter 46 – How could the heir of the Shen family like a man?

May 27, 2022 / / 1 Comment

Chapter 46 – How could the heir of the Shen family like a man?

 

As Xing Zhongwan left, Shen Qinghong looked at the photo in her hand, brushing her withered and slender fingers on the serious-looking girl’s face before finally pressing the photo under her pillow.

 

Closing her eyes, traces of tears slid from the corner of her eyes.

 

“Qian Yi, why don’t you call Xing Yanyin your father?”

 

“We have no blood relationship, so I don’t call him that. Plus, you never call him uncle.”

 

“Xing Yanyin is so young, in what way does he look like my uncle?!”

 

Shen Qinghong opened her eyes and Uncle Li on the side handed her a handkerchief. Shen Qinghong stared at the handkerchief in a daze.

 

“Xing Yanyin said that we should meet less often in the future to avoid suspicion.”

 

“Qian Yi, we are best friends right? Even if we can’t contact each other often, don’t forget me.”

 

Shen Qinghong removed her handkerchief, but her tears did not stop.

 

“Our marriage is never up to us. Qinghong, do you have someone you like?”

 

“Qianyi, instead of having to marry someone I don’t love for profit like my mother did, I’d rather not get married for the rest of my life!”

 

Feeling sullen, her mouth filled up with sweetness as Elder Li’s eyes were red, “Miss, don’t be aggrieved. Your body can’t bear it!”

 

“Qinghong, I’m pregnant.”

 

“Whose child is it? Qian Yi? Qian Yi!”

 

Shen Qinghong spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the snow-white veil in her hand red.

 

“Xing Yanyin asked me to marry Xing Zhengping. If that’s the case, then I will do as he wishes.”

 

“Qianyi, that kid looks gentle and elegant, but he is actually a playboy with bad intentions. How can you marry such a person? “

 

“Qinghong, I envy you very much. You have lived a very self-fulfilling life all your life. This is something beyond my ability.”

 

After Uncle Li took away Shen Qinghong’s blood-stained handkerchief, the nurse came in and hung a liquid for her. The cold fluid flowed into the blood in her body.

 

“Where’s my mother? I have to see her regarding a matter.”

 

“Miss, the madam is talking to the master of the Xing family, you can’t go in.”

 

Xing Yanyin also came so she also wanted to go and ask him why he treated Qianyi like this.

 

The study door was half-closed and Shen Qinghong could only see Xing Yanyin’s back, “Yuya, I have no one else to entrust that mother and son pair to. After I die, I ask that you take care of them. Let them go abroad safely and stay far away from the power struggle.”

 

Her mother sighed lightly, “You were too stubborn back then and led wolves into the house. You have suffered much for that mother and son pair. Don’t worry, I will do everything I can.”

 

    

 

“Hong’er, you go abroad for a while. Come back after finishing the job!”

 

“Why mother? Qianyi, that mother and son pair needs my help the most now. How can I leave?!”

 

“Listen to me. Regarding the Xing family, don’t you interfere. I know that you and Qianyi are deeply affectionate like sisters, but at this moment the word love is just a burden. Forget the friendships between us and the Xing family before this.”

 

Shen Qinghong clutched her aching lungs, that unconditional smile suddenly flashed in her mind. The  corner of her mouth twitched upwards thinking of Xing Zhongwan, who was sitting beside her not long ago.

 

“Qianyi, you really gave birth to a good son. He is too good. It’s a pity that our Qi family had no such luck with our sons.”

 

Qi Yun entered the hospital and arranged for a preliminary physical examination. After changing into the hospital clothes and entering the ward, he just laid down. He heard a knock at the door, so Qi Yun said enter. There was an unfamiliar sound of high heels. Qi Yun calmly looked to the direction of the door, “Who is it?”

 

Xue Qing walked to the bed, folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at Qi Yun carefully. He had a really good appearance.

 

“I’m Xue Qing.”

 

Qi Yun turned his face slightly, “Turns out it is Miss Xue. It has been hard on you for making this trip in person.”

 

Xue Qing snorted and sat on the sofa not far away, “I didn’t do it for you. I was curious about what kind of person you were, so I came here to see.”

 

Qi Yun was very calm, “I know you’re doing it for Wanwan, but thank you anyway.”

 

As Xue Qing saw his calm demeanor, a fire was lit inside her. Although she could not interfere with the affairs between him and Xing Zhongwan. But to Xue Qing, Xing Zhongwan was like a younger brother. After growing up together for more than ten years, she also felt the pain he felt deeply. Compared to what Qi Yun did to those outsiders, his deception to Xing Zhongwan was really nothing, but Xue Qing couldn’t bear it. This kind of calculated love will eventually harm Xing Zhongwan.

 

“Master Qi, you really gave up a lot to keep him, but a lie will always remain a lie. Are you not afraid that he will find out?”

 

Xue Qing raised her hands and looked at her blood-red fingernails with disdain.

 

Qi Yun’s expression didn’t change and he just said lightly, “I don’t understand what Miss Xue is talking about.”

 

Xue Qing got up and smoothed the folds of the hem of her suit, “If you don’t understand, it’s okay. You’ll understand later.” The sound of high heels left the ward and Qi Yun’s face sank.

 

In the corridor, Xing Zhongwan bumped into Xue Qing while holding a thermal insulation box.

 

“Why are you here?” Xing Zhongwan smiled as Xue Qing squinted at him, “Have you come and see your baby?”

 

Xing Zhongwan took her by the shoulders, “What’s the matter? Hearing your tone of voice… is something wrong?”

 

 Xue Qing pointed to the thermal insulation box in his hand, “Is this for the person inside?”

 

Xing Zhongwan nodded. Xue Qing took it and as soon as she took it, she opened the lid, took the spoon on the side and started to eat it, “That kid in there is not worth your kindness. Laoniang will help you eat it. I haven’t eaten the porridge you made for a long time.”

 

Xing Zhongwan sat next to her, watching Xue Qing gulping down the porridge that was intended for Qi Yun, and felt a little uneasy, “What’s the matter? Don’t hide anything from me.”

 

The box was then put back into his hands, “I’m exhausted so I’m going back to sleep. Jet lag.  Call me if something happens.”

 

After she got up, she stretched her neck a few times. At this time, a group of people came to the end of the corridor. Walking in the middle was a rather dignified and refined old man. Xue Qing turned around and pulled Xing Zhongwan into the stairwell to the side.

 

The two watched as the group of people walked through the glass door.

 

Xing Zhongwan frowned, “It’s Qi Zongcheng.”

 

Xue Qing pulled Xing Zhongwan down the stairs, “You go back to the hotel with me first. The Shen family is watching Qi Yun so Qi Zongcheng will not do anything to him. It’s not convenient for you to be here, after all, your identity…”

 

Xing Zhongwan understood, “Then let’s go first.”

 

Xue Qing stopped Xing Zhongwan, “Sister will take you to eat delicious food. How about Jiangnan cuisine? I know one that is very authentic.”

 

“You foodie. Didn’t you say you were going back to sleep because you’re tired? Still eating?”

 

“You will only have the strength to sleep after you’re full, young master! So let’s gogogo!”

 

Xing Zhongwan grinned. When he turned around to walk down the stairs, there was still a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

 

Qi Yun lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers as Qi Zongcheng pushed everyone out and stood beside Qi Yun’s bed. He looked down at him, “Qi Yun, how long are you going to make trouble for? Don’t think that because Shen Qinghong is protecting you that I won’t dare to do anything to you, even if you’re my own grandson. If you damage the reputation of our Qi family, I will also…”

 

“Grandpa.” Qi Yun raised his head and looked at him with his dull eyes, cutting off his words.

 

“Is there no one else in the Qi family? It is said that apart from me, a crippled person who is useless in your eyes, there is no suitable heir after you.”

 

“You!” He was furious when he was attacked at a weak point.

 

“Qi Yun, don’t forget your surname is Qi!”

 

Qi Yun chuckled twice, but his face was indifferent.

 

“When I was sent to a suburban villa to die, why didn’t my grandfather bring up my Qi surname?”

 

Qi Zongcheng was trembling all over, pointing to him with his hands as they shook, “You! Good, very good! I, Qi Zongcheng, really raised a good grandson. If you don’t want to stop, then good. You won’t be able to keep the man standing by your side.”

 

Qi Yun raised the corner of his eyes lightly, “You can’t threaten me. Grandpa should know about grandma’s undisclosed will regarding the shares by now. I only need someone to be next in line for the Shen family. As long as that person is not lackey, anyone will do. 

 

Now that my goal has been achieved, even if there is no 35% stake in shares with that bracelet, as long as Shen Qing Hong departs, I am still the heir of the Shen family. Grandma said that the inheritance is to be left to the daughter-in-law. That daughter-in-law is a man and it is all just a pretense, grandpa. You really are serious about this, huh?!”

 

Qi Zongcheng was surprised, did the people under him make a mistake? It was clear that Qi Yun cared about the man beside him, the illegitimate son of the Xing family, very much. Now that the Xing family has fallen, they can’t do anything big.

 

Could it be that Qi Yun did all this to confuse the public, or did they misunderstand this from the very beginning and that man was really just a pretense?

 

“I don’t believe it. After all, you even thought up things like fake marriages. Although you did this to provoke me and your mother, I don’t believe that you are this selfish!”

 

Qi Yun replied calmly, “Grandpa, I used to want to compete with you, but now I don’t. It’s time for me to play on another stage. I want to go back to the Shen family. How could the heir of the Shen family like a man?”

 

Qi Yun said this one-by-one casually and the words were loud and clear.

 

Putting his hand under the quilt, he pinched his thigh using the hand hanging beside his leg tightly and through the thin hospital gown.

 

“Why should Grandpa bother with an irrelevant person? The person you want to deal with is me.”

T/N: oWO I sense that Qi Yun is gonna eat his own words soon…

Anyways, who cares if the heir of the Shen family likes a man? The heir of the Li family likes a cat! If you’re a feline lover like I am (Tho not to the extent of this cat perv from the Li family), do check out Revenge of the Garfield…! I can assure you it’s an absolute banger to read~ There are more shocking twists in that novel than this one too ohoho. Many more competitors for the same title of the Li family’s head.

Sigh, why can’t we just be left alone to love who we love?

Chapter 30 – There are several cubs

Chapter 30 – There are several cubs

 

Jian Luo just returned home in a daze. The lights were still on in the room. When he swiped his card to enter the door and entered the living room, Su Liang was sleeping plainly on the sofa.

In order to avoid disturbing her, Jian Luo walked over lightly and took a blanket to cover her.

As soon as the blanket was put on, he saw Su Liang’s eyelashes trembling slightly. She opened her eyes gently and saw that it was Jian Luo. Blinking in disbelief, she asked: “Luo Luo, are you back?”

Jian Luo nodded and replied, “En, I’m back.”

“There’s food at home.” Su Liang rubbed her eyes: “Mom doesn’t know what is going on with you but it’s been warm all the time.”

Jian Luo went inside and served the meal: “Next time I’m late, don’t wait for me. You can eat it first on your own so don’t wait up.”

Su Liang smiled: “Mom will be fine at home.”

Jian Luo brought a few small stir-fried vegetables to the table and noticed that his mother had nothing to do at home. Before that, she had his younger brother to accompany her, but now she was the only one left at home. In addition to the live broadcast, there seems to be nothing else to do in Peace Paradise.

“Mom.” Jian Luo bit his chopsticks and said, “Say, if I had a partner and a baby for you, will that be okay?”

Su Liang was stunned.

She raised her face and looked at Jian Luo. Her eyes were a little widened in shock. Jian Luo saw that she was in a panic.

Jian Luo lowered his head: “What, what’s wrong?”

Su Liang pursed her lips and said tentatively, “Do you have a partner?”

“…”

Jian Luo said honestly, “No.”

Could Lu Shifeng be his target? His family commands the military, and he is like the cream of the crop, so he can’t be his partner.

Su Liang sighed: “If you have a partner, that’s alright. After talking it out with a good-natured mother-in-law, they will definitely agree. However, if the other party is a Dark Star…”

Jian Luo asked, “What’s wrong with the Dark Stars?”

“It’s nothing.” Su Liang frowned and sighed: “Mom is just worried that our family’s conditions are not on par with what the other family would like. If she is allowed to marry, the family space is small and desolate. When the time comes, I’m afraid it will be a little unpleasant for you guys. Mother doesn’t want you to recite your vows in front of this house. Speaking of which, it’s mother’s fault. I’m sorry to you and your brother.”

“…”

The sorry state they were in was for real.

To be honest, Lu Shifeng couldn’t live with them at all.

Plus there were many more reasons.

Why did he make assumptions about Lu Shifeng? Jian Luo was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was a fool for even just thinking about it.

There was rice porridge in his bowl. While drinking the porridge, Jian Luo said to Su Liang, “Mom, don’t worry about me finding a partner. Speaking of which, you can actually find another partner too.”

Su Liang was slightly surprised.

“Hey, look at me. I just want you to have some company too.” Jian Luo ate the dishes on the table and said, “Look, brother is already living on campus now and he won’t usually be at home anymore. And what about me? Work gets really busy sometimes so you won’t have someone to talk to you at home. Find a partner so both you old coots can take care of each other.”

Su Liang glared at him: “What are you talking about? Just how old am I?”

Jian Luo almost sprayed out his food: “Oh my mother. You are in your early forties, you can look for another partner as you wish, why are you getting angry?”

Su Liang was a little shy and decided to change the topic: “I’m going to rest. You should go take a shower after eating. I have washed your clothes for you. Don’t simply throw them about and place them in the basket.”

Jian Luo: “Okay.”

When Su Liang left, Jian Luo quietly placed down his bowl and chopsticks. Now he really wanted to eat sweet and spicy food. Unfortunately, the dishes at home were only slightly salter. Fortunately, he just received the news that the holy dragon fruit has arrived, so he can go to the door to pick it up.

Its nectar was truly heavenly!

Jian Luo went to the door and scanned the code to pick up the items from the mailbox. He ordered 5 holy dragon fruits and was ready to unbox them with joy. When he opened the box, he saw the small item.

It was really, really small!

The smile on Jian Luo’s face gradually disappeared as he took out the small box. There was a button on it and one could see the contents when one opened it. Jian Luo took a deep breath and pressed the switch.

“Beep”

Fingerprint authentication was required.

The box was opened and Jian Luo was full of anticipation. In the end, he saw that the holy dragon fruit in the box was very small and about the size of a palm. The difference between one that he ate in the Moonlight was like heaven and earth. ‌What the seller showed was way off from what the buyer received.

Jian Luo felt that this was unbelievable.

He took the holy dragon fruit and returned to his room. He and his younger brother stayed together in this room. Now that his younger brother is no longer here, his bed can be temporarily put away, so the whole room is much more spacious.

Jian Luo sat cross-legged on the bed and called the customer service: “Hello, is this the customer service of Bao.com1Taobao.com (A very famous online marketplace from China)?”

The call was answered: “Hello, what’s the problem?”

“It’s that.” Jian Luo briefly described his own experience: “Do you think you should give me a refund or what?”

The customer service smiled: “I’m very sorry Mr. Jian. It’s like this. We received a national order yesterday that all the holy dragon fruit will no longer be sold to outsiders. Yours was considered additional compensation.”

Jian Luo was taken aback: “No longer selling? Why?”

“I’m sorry for this.” The customer service said in a muffled voice: “We also recently received the ban and just acted according to the rules.”

“…”

I feel that your ban was made to just cause trouble so you can salvage your words on the transaction.

Jian Luo held back his anger: “What about the money?”

The customer service was slightly surprised: “Have you not checked the bill? We have returned the money to your account. Please pay attention and check it.”

“…”

Alright, you win.

Jian Luo was so angry after hanging up the phone. But after he got angry, he became hungry again out of anger.

There was also the pitiful holy dragon fruit on the table. Jian Luo hesitated but picked it up and peeled it, so he could eat it.

“Ugh……”

Raising a dragon was really tiring.

And now the holy dragon fruit can’t be bought, Jian Luo can’t help but turn on the Lightbrain: “Baidu this for me. Does it matter that the little child won’t be able to eat the holy dragon fruit during pregnancy?”

At this time, the Lightbrain charged an internet fee, so it came back fast: “It matters. According to the Baidu Encyclopedia, the holy dragon fruit is rich in vitamins and nutritional value. It is an important complementary food for the cub’s development period. Untimely replenishment is likely to have a significant impact on the cubs.”

Jian Luo was frightened: “What kind of impact? Will they get any diseases?”

“They will be weak and malnourished.” Lightbrain again read out the science: “It is best to eat it every day, otherwise the cubs will not get enough nutritional supplements of food from the mother’s body and the cubs will absorb the mother’s nutrition according to their nature and may even feed on blood. “

???

The little dragon cub would be so cruel?

As expected of Lu Shifeng’s seed.

Jian Luo fell into contemplation. According to his calculations, a holy dragon fruit is now five thousand Star Dollars. If he were to eat it every day, it would amount to… 150,000 a month?

Oh no, was this little brat going to kill his own father? How was he going to eat it? Not to mention, it wasn’t even available on sale now!?

The Lightbrain said: “Do you have anything else to search for?”

Jian Luo thought for a while: “Where else do they sell it now?”

“The search has been completed. According to the information, the military’s Sky garden is connected to the Dragon God Valley. Now all the dragons in the universe live there. If you need, you can go to the military to negotiate.”

“…”

I see.

The next day.

Today was the day that Jian Luo was going to the cultivation base. Early in the morning, he arrived by car. The cultivation base, Moonlight and the military were all in opposite directions.

The south was the sunniest place, and the hover car took a full two minutes to arrive.

When Jian Luo arrived, someone who was holding a security-testing instrument said, “Hello, please cooperate with the security inspection.”

“Okay.”

The inspector who held a scanner in his hand swept it over him in a large circle from the top to the top before saying, “Okay, that’s it.”

Jian Luo nodded: “Thank you.”

He walked inside and a young man seemed to have been waiting for a long time: “Hello, are you the cultivator recommended by Moonlight?”

Jian Luo said, “I am.”

“I’m in charge of picking you up.” The young man led him on the road and reminded him, “Please pay attention to your feet and try not to step on the red stone bricks.”

Jian Luo was suspicious: “Why?”

The young man smiled: “These red bricks all have the seals on them, you better be careful.”

Jian Luo suddenly discovered that the Dark Stars here are really different from the Dark Stars in other places. They were all almost uniformly dressed in white robes and had a gold bracelet on their wrists.

“Well…” Jian Luo hesitated: “I heard that all of you here are phoenixes?”

The young man was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “You’re really being over the top, haha. How could that be? We only have the Phoenix gene, but only the high priest is a real Phoenix who can bear that title.”

Understood.

These days, Jian Luo has gradually understood how the genes of the Dark Star were distributed. Some of them were real beasts, and those who could transform into beasts were generally stronger. Others that did not traditionally inherit this even if they had the genes were also relatively strong, but they weren’t as strong as the beast.

The young man took him to the training center: “We’ve arrived. I’ll take you inside.”

Jian Luo nodded: “Okay, thank you.”

There was a sacred atmosphere everywhere and Jian Luo followed him inside obediently. When he got inside, he found that there was not much in the entire cultivation base.

The young man said: “Cultivating seeds of this kind is a very laborious thing, so not many are willing to do this work. Our power is also very low so in order to prevent the seeds from being wasted, there are not too many attempts.”

Jian Luo nodded.

As he was talking, a man passed by not far away. He seemed to be in his 40s or 50s. He was wearing a white robe and had a serious face. The man walked up to Jian Luo and frowned: “Are you new here?”

The young man said, “Yes. If there is nothing else, Luoluo will be your partner.”

The man glanced at Jian Luo from top to bottom and sneered, “A human being? Dare I ask which school you graduated from?”

Jian Luo said, “I’m temporarily suspended from school.”

The white-robed man said to the young man in disbelief, “Did this one really pass the application? The seeds are not for them to play with!”

The young man said: “The report given above shows that Luoluo is indeed capable of taking the job.”

“Can you?” The man glanced at Jian Luo again, unable to hide his contempt: “What does a human being know? Don’t follow me in the future.”

“…”

Jian Luo was not angry. Hearing this, he felt that it would take a while and said, “Did you just have a misunderstanding on your own?”

The man was taken aback.

“First, I’m not going to follow you.” Jian Luo said slowly: “Secondly, I’ll ask you to be clear. The origin of these seeds is the earth, which is the mother planet of my species. Of course, I would be able to recognize the plants from my own planet. You can choose to disrespect me, but you need to clearly understand where the seeds you cultivate came from and who they originally belonged to!”

“…”

There was a moment of silence in the air.

The man’s face was blue and green looking at Jian Luo’s as if he were about to swallow him whole. After holding back for a long time, he finally said, “Uneducated.”

Jian Luo sneered: “That’s a pale comparison when compared to the likes of you2小巫见大巫 – Literally means, when a small witch meets a big witch. It’s something like a pot calling the kettle black, but instead pretend that it’s a silver spoon being called black instead..”

Naturally, the Dark Star couldn’t understand this3Jian Luo was supposed to have said some smug and smart phrase common in China but I couldn’t find a way to translate it haha, but he definitely knew that it was not something good, so he could only stare at Jian Luo in the end.

The young man was very embarrassed: “This…you…”

Jian Luo comforted him: “Just tell me the process and the rules here. I’ll go get the seeds with you.”

The young man nodded.

After harvesting for the whole day, Jian Luo became familiar with the uses of the various tools in the base as he gradually learned about it.

There was only one thing that he was not very satisfied with.

“You mean you don’t have a cafeteria here?” Jian Luo was very surprised: “Then what do you usually eat?”

The man in the white robe who quarreled with him in the morning was called Wang Heng. He said, “Do you think we all have to eat? Our family of the Phoenixes do no need to eat!”

“…”

Jian Luo was very dissatisfied: “Then why does the military base have a canteen?”

Wang Heng sneered: “Why don’t you go to work in the military instead of yelling at me here? If you want to find a place to eat, find a way on your own!”

…

Alright, you’re too ruthless.

Jian Luo was really hungry. He didn’t particularly like to eat, but since he had this little dragon, he became more hungry.

Did he want to go to the military to get some holy dragon fruit?

The main thing was that he hadn’t figured out whether he wanted this little brat or not.

As he was thinking about it, a voice came from not far away: “Even if you don’t leave yet, you won’t get overtime pay if you stay here.”

“For chili pepper seeds to germinate, the temperature must not be too low.” Jian Luo didn’t turn his head back: “I heard that it gets very cold at night here, so I’ll leave it to you to adjust the temperature.”

After all, there were not many seeds. Without this; his source of happiness, it would be boring to eat in the future.

Wang Heng snorted coldly, “Faker.”

Jian Luo sat on the side and looked at the temperature before taunting him back: “If you really don’t like me, cultivate these seeds as soon as possible and I promise I will never appear in front of you again.”

“…”

Wang Heng left.

Through today’s observation, Jian Luo found out that Dark Stars actually worked hard to cultivate the seeds and were indeed paying attention to the temperature and humidity, but the Earth was destroyed so much that they could not know at all what conditions and temperature the seeds needed to be at so it could germinate.

And the seeds were very delicate. They need one temperature in the germination stage, and a different temperature after germination so they could continue to survive.

“Ugh……”

Jian Luo sat on the ridge and sent a message to his mother.

Su Liang asked him, “Should I not wait up? Will you be back late tonight?”

“I’ll try to as early as possible.” Jian Luo comforted her: “Don’t worry about it.”

Su Liang was relieved and didn’t ask any more questions. After comforting her, Jian Luo continued to guard the temperature in the shed. The current temperature was 17 degrees, which was not too bad. He will be guarding it today. In the case where the temperature outside drops sharply, he will be able to adjust it at any time. Once the seedlings of chili peppers are put below 15 degrees, they will not germinate.

The other side.

Inside the temple, the lights were bright.

On the Phoenix Stage of Connaught University, a man in a golden robe sat onstage. Behind him was a fiery-red phoenix wall.

A disciple said: “Your sacrifice was astounding. It’s late at night now, you should get some rest.”

Zhan Wentai opened his eyes and those eyes were golden, as gentle as water, and very beautiful: “Got it.”

The disciples bowed their heads, not daring to directly look at him.

Zhan Wentai stood up from the altar and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the shrine before looking out. He saw that the lights in the cultivation base that should have been turned off were still lit.

Zhan Wentai frowned slightly: “What’s going on?”

“Huh?” The disciple followed the line of sight of the priest and looked outside before quickly replying: “It should be today’s new apprentice.”

Zhan Wentai’s eyes fell on the shed and did not look away.

The disciple didn’t dare to speak when they were next to him. Their family have been doing divination and sacrifices all night long recently. The Phoenix family is filled with psychics, and the purer their blood is, the more psychic powers were bestowed upon the said Phoenix. There was only one pure-blooded phoenix left, which was Zhan Wentai himself.

A few days ago, the high priest himself said that the curse of the Dark Star may soon be broken and everyone was very happy that their Phoenix family will finally not end in extinction.

Zhan Wentai said, “You can return.”

The disciple said respectfully, “Yes.”

A ray of gold flashed in the dark night and that gold flashed in the night sky before finally stopping in front of the cultivation shed.

Jian Luo was squatting beside the shed holding vegetables and digging a hole. He was concentrating on his work and was very devoted. It could be said that he was hard at work.

Zhan Wentai said, “What are you doing?”

“Mom!”

Jian Luo was so frightened that the potatoes in his hands fell down.

In all fairness, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind in the silent night and he was so frightened that his soul almost flew away, okay?!

Zhan Wentai stood there and looked at him quietly.

When Jian Luo turned around, he saw a man in a golden robe standing in front of him. He was tall and firm with a fair complexion. His eyes especially were a gentle golden color. It was completely different from Lu Shifeng’s bloodthirsty red eyes.

“That.” Jian Luo stammered a little when he saw how good-looking he was: “I’m thinking about whether the vegetables here can be eaten. I’m a little hungry.”

Zhan Wentai glanced at the ground and said softly, “You don’t have a pot.”

Jian Luo is very good at focusing on key points: “Do you mean for eating?”

“Sure.”

Zhan Wentai nodded lightly. As he stood with restraint and dignity, it seemed that the whole land was sacred and pure.

Jian Luo hesitated for a while and finally said, “What are you…what do you do?”

He shouldn’t be a patrol officer right? Also, looking at this outfit, it’s completely different from an ordinary NPC’s. Did he think that he was stupid?

Zhan Wentai said, “Priest.”

“…”

Jian Luo didn’t quite understand what that profession did, but he has often heard it being mentioned that it was indeed a kind of profession: “Then what do you do?”

Zhan Wentai was taken aback for a moment. He didn’t expect that there would be someone who didn’t know the high priest.

After all, others have always taken the initiative to meet him wherever he goes so he never needed to explain what he does. When he was suddenly asked that, he didn’t know what to say.

When he looked up, he saw that Jian Luo was still looking at him seriously, eager for knowledge.

Zhan Wentai pursed his lips: “We don’t really do anything. We read books and predict the effect of the cause.”

Jian Luo expressed his own thoughts: “Sounds fun?”

Did that sound fun?

Zhan Wentai thought that he didn’t find it fun, but because he was already in the conversation, he could only say: “It’s still okay.”

“…”

Their eyes met and there was a moment of silence.

Jian Luo threw the potatoes aside. Although he didn’t know what priests did, he always felt that they were amazing. He went back to check the temperature again and would leave if there was no problem.

They passed by each other without saying a word.

Jian Luo looked inside to check the temperature and after confirming that the temperature would be maintained at night, he walked out, thinking the person outside would be gone, but who knew he would still be there. 

Zhan Wentai looked at him: “Why don’t you take classes?”

“…I’m about to take a class.” Jian Luo had a flash of inspiration. This could be a performance-review inspection, so he added: “The growth of seeds requires a constant temperature. I was afraid that it would not be safe, so I stayed for a while.”

Leader, look at me. Aren’t I diligent?

Give me a raise, thank you!

But Zhan Wentai just nodded: “Okay.”

Jian Luo waited for a long time in silence, before he could only purse his lips in disappointment: “Then I’m leaving, you’re on your own.”

Zhan Wentai was also a little surprised.

He thought this human being was a bit special, so he decided to take a look, but he didn’t expect him to be so strange.

The people around him either respected him very much or were very fond of him, but there was no such person like Jian Luo who acted casually, chatting as if it were just an everyday thing.

When Zhan Wentai opened his eyes again, he was gone.

…

“Arriving at the next stop, Peace Paradise.”

The sound of the tram sounded, bringing some warmth to the night.

Jian Luo went to the hospital with some hope and was pleasantly surprised to find that the door was not closed. He trotted past it and peeked inside: “Are you here, old doc?”

The old man said, “Yo, it’s Little Hope.”

“…”

What the hell?

Jian Luo walked in and sighed, “I want to ask you something.”

“Go ahead.”

“If I abort this cub, will there be any adverse effects on my body?”

The old man looked at him a few more times and his eyes became more complicated: “It shouldn’t have a big impact. Just a little loss.”

Jian Luo sighed.

“However, your current body also needs to be replenished.” The old man stroked his beard: “It is very hard to raise little dragons and they need sufficient nutrition in their mother’s body to grow up healthy. The holy dragon fruit is the best to nurture the little dragons, you must eat more every day.”

“…”

Eat a fart, I can’t even afford it.

Jian Luo sighed: “Let’s make do with it, I can’t uphold those conditions.”

The old man smiled: “That’s not good. Don’t just think about yourself, you have to think about the tiny dragons. If I’m not wrong, you have more than one cub in there.”

???

Dafuq?

No wonder Laozi4A crude way to refer to yourself (esp. used when you are the senior in the situation) always feels hungry and no wonder Laozi always feels tired. There was not one of you, but a group of you in there that were messing with me?

Jian Luo’s lips trembled: “Did you see how many there were?”

The old man smiled and shook his head: “I’m not sure, but your luck is pretty good. The descendants of the dragon family are precious, but you managed to win double of the grand prize. Not bad, not bad!”

T/N: *Pops confetti* This chapter was brought to you by investors, LittleLola and Aidalba!! (✿◠‿◠)
