Ye Qiu held a full moon celebration for Ruyi this time, but he did not inform the people from Longmen.
He did this for two reasons. First, Longmen disciples are currently stationed in various places, and he did not want to disturb them. Second, he was somewhat afraid of Cao Qingcheng.
This woman is audacious and capable of anything when she stirs up trouble. Otherwise, last time in Miaojiang, Ye Qiu would not have been forced by her…
The past is too painful to recall.
When Ye Qiu saw Cao Qingcheng appear, his heart raced, silently praying that this enchantress would not cause a scene.
Cao Qingcheng looked stunning today.
She wore light makeup, golden earrings, and a V-neck black suit that revealed a glimpse of fair skin. Tight jeans accentuated her long, slender legs, and she stepped out in high heels.
Polished yet alluring.
She walked with an commanding presence, exuding the air of a queen.
It was clear she had dressed meticulously for the occasion.
After Cao Qingcheng stepped out of the car, the door of a second Mercedes opened, and Qinglong, Qilin, Han Long, and Zhao Hu emerged.
With that, all five of Longmen’s dragon envoys were present.
Cao Qingcheng led the way, glancing at Ye Qiu.
His heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to warn her not to cause trouble, Cao Qingcheng walked straight up to Qian Shanxue.
“If I’m not mistaken, you must be little sister Xue?” Cao Qingcheng said with a smile.
“Hello, I’m Qian Shanxue,” she replied with a smile.
“Let me introduce myself. I’m Cao Qingcheng. You may not know me, but that’s fine. I believe we’ll become good sisters in the future,” Cao Qingcheng said, turning to Ye Qiu. “Isn’t that right, darling?”
Darling?
Instantly, Qian Shanxue and Lin Jingzhi turned to look at Ye Qiu.
His scalp tingled, thinking to himself, I knew this enchantress would stir things up.
“Ye Qiu, what’s going on?” Qian Shanxue asked.
Lin Jingzhi chuckled and said, “Little sister Xue, you may not know, but sister Qingcheng is also one of Ye Qiu’s close confidantes.”
“And, sister Qingcheng is the younger sister of Longmen’s former Ninth Thousand, Cao Yuan.”
This woman is Cao Yuan’s sister?
Qian Shanxue studied her, thinking, She doesn’t even look like Cao Yuan!
“You know about me?” Cao Qingcheng looked at Lin Jingzhi, her gaze slightly cold.
Lin Jingzhi, unfazed, laughed delicately. “Of course I know. Ye Qiu may be a flirt, but every time he returns, he honestly confesses everything to me.”
“When he came back from Miaojiang last time, he said he wanted you to be my sister and asked if I agreed. Of course, I did.”
“You’re so beautiful and capable. I’d be thrilled to have you as my sister.”
Lin Jingzhi’s words were clever, praising Cao Qingcheng while subtly asserting her position as the head of the harem.
In this first verbal spar, Cao Qingcheng was outmatched.
But Cao Qingcheng was not one to admit defeat easily.
She turned to Qian Shanxue and said, “Ye Qiu has many confidantes. I’m so jealous that you gave him a daughter.”
“My womb hasn’t been as cooperative. It’s taken so long, and only recently has there been a little movement.”
“I checked a few days ago. It’s a boy.”
Qian Shanxue’s expression froze.
Lin Jingzhi’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she smiled brightly and said, “I’m so jealous of you, sister Qingcheng, getting pregnant so quickly. Ye Qiu, you’re a doctor. Check on sister Qingcheng’s health. She’s travelled far, so make sure she hasn’t strained herself.”
Instantly, Cao Qingcheng’s face stiffened.
“Qingcheng, let me check,” Ye Qiu said, grabbing her wrist.
“No need,” Cao Qingcheng tried to pull away, but Ye Qiu held her firmly.
Even without checking her pulse, Ye Qiu knew she wasn’t pregnant. She was just trying to stir things up.
Qian Shanxue, picking up on Lin Jingzhi’s words, asked, “Ye Qiu, is she pregnant with a boy?”
“This…” Ye Qiu couldn’t exactly say Cao Qingcheng was lying in front of everyone.
Cao Qingcheng, quick to react, laughed and said, “Sister Lin, little sister Xue, I’m not actually pregnant.”
“It’s our first meeting, so I just wanted to play a little joke.”
“Please don’t mind!”
Hearing Cao Qingcheng call her “sister,” Lin Jingzhi’s smile widened. She stepped forward, warmly taking Cao Qingcheng’s hand, and said, “Sister Qingcheng, keep trying. I hope you’ll have a son soon. I’ll prepare a big red envelope for him.”
Cao Qingcheng smiled. “Sister Lin, I’ll thank you on behalf of the child.”
They exchanged a look and laughed delicately.
“Ye Qiu, you and little sister Xue welcomed a daughter, such a big event, and you didn’t tell me? Were you afraid I’d cause trouble?” Cao Qingcheng said. “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
Yeah, right.
If you knew your limits, would you have done that to me in Miaojiang?
Even now, Ye Qiu felt humiliated thinking about it.
Though, that humiliation…
It was kind of thrilling.
Ye Qiu explained, “With all the responsibilities of Longmen on your shoulders, I didn’t want to disrupt your work.”
“Hmph.” Cao Qingcheng didn’t buy his excuse, letting out a cold snort. She then pulled out a cheque from her pocket and handed it to Qian Shanxue, saying, “Little sister Xue, this is for Ruyi.”
Qian Shanxue looked at it. Good heavens, one billion!
“That’s too much…”
Before she could finish, Cao Qingcheng pressed the cheque into her hand, smiling. “This is my heartfelt gift. Please don’t refuse.”
“Ye Qiu, this isn’t Longmen’s money. It’s my personal savings, so it doesn’t break any rules.”
“Qinglong, you all bring out your gifts too.”
Qinglong and the others stepped forward, each presenting a cheque to Qian Shanxue, saying, “Sister-in-law, this is our gift for Ruyi. It’s not much, so please don’t mind.”
Each cheque was for one hundred million.
Four in total!
Qian Shanxue looked at Ye Qiu, unsure whether to accept.
“Take them,” Ye Qiu said.
“Thank you,” Qian Shanxue said, accepting the cheques.
“Zhuque, take them inside. I still have guests to greet,” Ye Qiu said.
“Yes, sir,” Cao Qingcheng replied in a playful, sing-song tone, then said, “Sister Lin, little sister Xue, I’ll head in first.”
“Mmm,” Lin Jingzhi nodded with a smile.
As Cao Qingcheng led Qinglong and the others away, Qian Shanxue remarked, “These people are so generous, casually giving a hundred million, and Cao Qingcheng gave a billion.”
Lin Jingzhi laughed. “What can we do? Our man is just that capable. And by the way, he’s not just capable. He’s got quite the… assets.”
Qian Shanxue blushed deeply at her words.
Just then, an Audi A8 pulled up at the hotel entrance.
