The few people in the courtyard heard the voice and turned to look towards the villa doorway.
“Sister Lin!”
Ye Qiu was overjoyed.
Lin Jingzhi walked in from the villa doorway. She wore a pink dress, her hair tied in a bun, appearing pure and sweet, utterly different from her usual sexy attire.
“Sister Lin, when did you get back?” Ye Qiu asked happily.
“I just got back. I called you, but your phone was off. I went to your house, but you were not there. Xiaoxiao told me you were off today and not seeing patients at the hospital. I guessed you must be here.”
Lin Jingzhi walked over, embraced Ye Qiu, and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Xiao Zhan thought to himself, oh no, Lin Jingzhi is back. A short parting is better than a honeymoon. Today, his sister has no chance with Boss.
“What are you all chatting about?” Lin Jingzhi asked with a smile.
Ye Qiu said, “Xiao Zhan said Yiren has learnt a few new dishes. We were planning to go over for lunch.”
“Really? Then I shall join you.”
At once, the four left the villa and headed to the flower shop to find Xiao Yiren.
Xiao Yiren was delighted to see Ye Qiu and Lin Jingzhi. She immediately set about preparing lunch.
After lunch, it was already afternoon. Ye Qiu and Lin Jingzhi left.
At the flower shop doorway.
Xiao Yiren watched Ye Qiu depart, her face dimming.
“Sis, today was really not my fault. I had it all planned: after Boss had lunch, he would take you shopping and to the cinema, then you two could find a place…”
Xiao Zhan trailed off, then added, “I did not expect Sister Lin to return today.”
“Sis, I am not criticising you, but you need to take the initiative.”
“When a man chases a woman, it is like a mountain between them. When a woman chases a man, it is but a layer of gauze.”
“Since you like Boss, you should take action. Look at Su Xiaoxiao and Su Luoying. If they had not been proactive, would they have got together with Boss so quickly?”
“And Qianshan Xue, she has already borne Boss a child. You need to step it up too.”
“Mothers are honoured through their sons. As long as you conceive Boss’s child, he will come to see you every few days!”
Xiao Yiren glared at Xiao Zhan. “You talk too much.”
“I am only thinking of you,” Xiao Zhan said. “Chasing a man is like fighting. Strike first to gain the advantage. If you do not act soon, I reckon even the Hundred Flowers Fairy and Green萝 will climb into Boss’s bed.”
“After all, it is hard to find a man as outstanding as Boss in this world.”
“Sis, I know you are thin-skinned, but for your lifelong happiness, you must think of something.”
Xiao Yiren wanted to be with Ye Qiu too, but she did not know what to do.
Xiao Zhan saw through her thoughts and said, “Sis, think of a way yourself. I will help you think too. In any case, you need to get Boss into bed with you as soon as possible. Then I can be his brother-in-law in name and truth.”
“I have a method.” Huzi, who had been sitting in the corner watching television, suddenly spoke up.
At once, Xiao Yiren and Xiao Zhan’s gazes fell on Huzi.
“What method do you have?” Xiao Zhan asked.
Huzi said, “You can drug Master.”
Xiao Zhan broke out in a cold sweat. Not bad for Huzi, he was a real tiger. To come up with such an idea, was he not afraid of death?
Huzi said, “Master loves the meals made by Yiren Shiniang. Next time you invite Master for a meal, Brother Zhan, you can mix some drug into his rice.”
“This method will not work,” Xiao Zhan said. “Boss is the Sage of Medicine, and his cultivation is so high. He would detect any drug in the rice immediately.”
“Brother Zhan, you are overthinking it. Master trusts you so much that he would never suspect you of drugging his meal,” Huzi said. “You can crush a small pill and put it in Master’s bowl.”
“The blue kind. You know its effects, do you not?”
“As soon as Master eats it, he will surely end up with Yiren Shiniang.”
“I…” Xiao Zhan had just opened his mouth when Xiao Yiren grabbed his ear.
“Sis, what are you doing? Let go!” Xiao Zhan cried out in pain.
Xiao Yiren said angrily, “You rotten Xiao Zhan, you actually take that kind of drug. Have you been messing around with unsavoury people outside? Do you want to anger me to death!”
Xiao Zhan hurriedly explained, “Sis, you have misunderstood. It was that dog Changmei Real Person who tricked me into taking it. He said it would boost my power. How was I to know it was that sort of drug?”
“Is what you say true?” Xiao Yiren was somewhat disbelieving.
Xiao Zhan said, “You are my own sister. Why would I lie to you? It really was Changmei Real Person who harmed me.”
Only then did Xiao Yiren release Xiao Zhan’s ear. She said, “In future, have less to do with Changmei Real Person. Ye Qiu said that old fellow is unreliable. Do not let him lead you astray.”
“I understand.”
Xiao Zhan thought to himself, Changmei Real Person, you can take the blame for me one more time!
……
Ye Qiu and Lin Jingzhi returned home. As soon as they entered, the two embraced.
“Husband, it has been so long since you saw me. Did you miss me?” Lin Jingzhi asked in a coquettish voice.
“I did,” Ye Qiu said.
“Where did you miss me?” Lin Jingzhi asked.
“In my heart,” Ye Qiu said.
“Only in your heart?” Lin Jingzhi’s eyes flowed with charm. As she spoke, her right hand trailed up from Ye Qiu’s knee, and she said delicately, “What about here?”
Ye Qiu tensed all over and countered, “Sister Lin, did you miss me?”
“Of course I did,” Lin Jingzhi said.
“Where did you miss me?” Ye Qiu pressed.
Lin Jingzhi took Ye Qiu’s hands and placed them before her. She said, “Also in my heart, thinking of you day and night.”
“Eh, Sister Lin, you seem to have lost weight?” Ye Qiu said in surprise.
Lin Jingzhi looked at Ye Qiu with a resentful gaze. “It is all your fault. You have not loved me for so long. How could I not lose weight?”
“No matter. I will help you.” After speaking, Ye Qiu hurriedly scooped up Lin Jingzhi and carried her upstairs.
In the bedroom.
Ye Qiu could not wait to kiss Lin Jingzhi. It had been so long since he had been intimate with her, he was nearly going mad with longing.
When passion peaked.
Lin Jingzhi suddenly said, “Husband, the twenty-four bridges under the bright moon… do you want it?”
Ye Qiu understood instantly and nodded vigorously.
“You are so naughty~” Lin Jingzhi gave Ye Qiu a coquettish glance and knelt on the ground.
……
The next day.
Ten o’clock in the morning.
Ye Qiu opened his eyes and turned to look at Lin Jingzhi. She lay asleep on him like an octopus.
They had started yesterday afternoon and only stopped at dawn today. Lin Jingzhi was exhausted and had fainted from fatigue.
Ye Qiu picked up his phone and realised it was still switched off. He promptly turned it on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the phone powered up, Changmei Real Person called again.
“You little brat, where have you been? From yesterday to today, I have called you dozens of times. Why was your phone off the whole time?”
“You old fellow, get to the point. I have no time for your nonsense.”
“You little brat, come to Kunlun Mountain quickly. This time, I have truly found the dragon vein,” Changmei Real Person said.
Ye Qiu cursed, “You old fellow, can you say something reliable for once? How many times have you called me about this and tricked me?”
“You little brat, this time I really am not deceiving you…”
Before Changmei Real Person could finish, the voice of Daoist Chongxu came through the phone.
“Ye Qiu, come to Kunlun Mountain quickly. The situation is dire!”
