Among Ye Qiu’s several close confidantes, he most enjoyed spending time with Lin Jingzhi.
In his presence, Lin Jingzhi never threw tantrums or lost her temper, always compliant and occasionally surprising him, a single glance or a few words enough to set his blood racing.
Being with her was both relaxing and joyful.
Hearing Lin Jingzhi’s words, Ye Qiu couldn’t hold back, quickly leaning down to kiss her.
Lin Jingzhi closed her eyes, ready to be swept away.
The moment was perfect.
“Knock knock!”
A sudden knock at the door interrupted them.
“Who is it?” Lin Jingzhi called out.
“President Lin, it’s me,” came Sun Mengjie’s voice from outside.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Jingzhi asked.
Sun Mengjie said, “I forgot my meeting notes in the conference room earlier.”
Lin Jingzhi looked up and saw a laptop on the conference table.
“Hold on.”
She got up from Ye Qiu’s embrace and said, “Come in and get it.”
The door opened, and Sun Mengjie stepped inside, casting a quick glance at Lin Jingzhi and Ye Qiu before grabbing the laptop and leaving.
Lin Jingzhi returned to Ye Qiu’s lap, cooing, “Darling, did you miss me?”
“I did,” Ye Qiu nodded.
“Where did you miss me?” she pressed.
“Everywhere,” Ye Qiu replied.
“Really?” Lin Jingzhi smiled, “I heard from Bai Bing that you brought two young beauties home— are you involved with them?”
“Bing Jie told you about that?” Ye Qiu thought to himself, Bai Bing’s even started tattling, looks like I need to deal with her later.
Lin Jingzhi laughed, “When Bai Bing told me, her tone was so sour, clearly jealous.”
Ye Qiu said, “It’s nothing, really, just two colleagues…”
Before he could finish, Lin Jingzhi pressed a finger to his lips, saying, “I know you, no need to explain. Besides, I’m not petty, if you really like them, I won’t mind.”
Ye Qiu said gratefully, “Sister Lin, thank you.”
“You know I don’t care for verbal thanks—I prefer actions,” Lin Jingzhi gazed at him with her captivating eyes, their depths shimmering.
Ye Qiu instantly understood, leaning down to kiss her deeply.
They kissed passionately, lost in the moment.
“Knock knock!”
Another knock at the door shattered the mood.
Both in the office were visibly annoyed.
“Who?” Lin Jingzhi asked, holding back her anger.
“President Lin, it’s Xiao Zheng from admin, I have a document for you to sign,” a female voice said.
“Go to Sun Mengjie, let her sign it,” Lin Jingzhi replied.
“I already asked Assistant Sun, she said only you can sign this one.”
“Come back tomorrow.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
After Xiao Zheng left, Lin Jingzhi wrapped her arms around Ye Qiu’s neck, smiling, “Darling, let’s continue.”
“Mm…”
Knock knock knock!
The door was knocked on again.
“President Lin, it’s Xiao Li from finance, I have last quarter’s financial report for you to review.”
“Come back tomorrow.”
No sooner had Lin Jingzhi spoken than another knock followed, “President Lin, it’s Old Zhao from logistics, I made a plan for this month’s supply purchases, could you take a look?”
Knock knock knock…
More knocking.
One after another, over a dozen knocks in succession.
Lin Jingzhi’s good mood was utterly ruined, and she said angrily, “What’s wrong with these people? They’re never around usually, why are they all coming to me today?”
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes, clearly someone was deliberately disrupting his and Lin Jingzhi’s private moment.
He didn’t need to guess who it was—he knew.
Activating his clairvoyance, he glanced outside, his vision piercing the wall, and saw Sun Mengjie standing in the corridor, holding a coffee, looking smug.
“Clear out the people outside Sister Lin’s office immediately, or I’ll have you fired on the spot.”
Ye Qiu’s voice rang abruptly in Sun Mengjie’s ear.
Sun Mengjie jumped, startled like a frightened mouse, looking around but seeing no sign of Ye Qiu, her face full of confusion.
“Are you deaf? I said clear out the people outside Sister Lin’s office.”
Using his secret voice transmission, Ye Qiu continued.
This time, Sun Mengjie heard clearly, certain it was Ye Qiu, but still unable to see him, she asked, “Where are you?”
Ye Qiu said, “Never mind where I am, Sun Mengjie, you have five seconds, if you don’t shoo those flies away, I’ll come to your room tonight and deal with you myself.”
“Bastard!”
Sun Mengjie muttered a curse, then said to the crowd at Lin Jingzhi’s door, “Everyone, go back, come find President Lin tomorrow.”
Old Zhao from logistics looked puzzled, “Assistant Sun, you called us here, why are you sending us away now?”
So it was her scheming.
Ye Qiu shot Sun Mengjie a cold glance.
In that instant, Sun Mengjie felt a chill, as if she were standing naked.
“President Lin is handling important matters, go back,” Sun Mengjie said sternly.
The crowd finally dispersed.
In the office, seeing Lin Jingzhi’s displeasure, Ye Qiu said, “Sister Lin, let’s continue, no one will disturb us now.”
Lin Jingzhi walked over, locked the office door, and said, “If anyone knocks again, just ignore them, they can’t get in.”
Then, nestling back into Ye Qiu’s arms, she said guiltily, “Darling, I feel a bit ashamed, after you became the Medical Saint, I haven’t even congratulated you, and now I need your help with something.”
Ye Qiu, puzzled, asked, “What’s that?”
“I don’t know how to say it,” Lin Jingzhi’s stunning face was filled with unease.
It was the first time Ye Qiu had seen her like this, and he said nervously, “Sister Lin, just tell me, if I can do it…”
Before he could finish, Lin Jingzhi uttered two words, “Relieve itching!”
What?
It took Ye Qiu three seconds to process, then he lifted Lin Jingzhi and placed her on the conference table.

…
The next day.
Eight in the morning.
Ye Qiu and Master Longbrow set off from Jiangzhou, taking a flight to the Northeast.
Three hours later.
As soon as Ye Qiu stepped off the plane, his phone rang.
Bzz bzz bzz…
He pulled out his phone and saw the caller ID, Tang Fei.
Answering the call, Ye Qiu asked, “Old Tang, what’s up?”
“Ye Qiu, are you free these couple of days?” Tang Fei asked.
“What’s going on?”
“I’d like you to come to the Northeast.”
Ye Qiu was a bit surprised, he had just arrived in the Northeast, and now Tang Fei was asking him to come, what a coincidence.
He knew Tang Fei must be in some trouble, otherwise he wouldn’t have reached out.
Ye Qiu asked quickly, “Are you in some kind of trouble?”
“Yeah,” Tang Fei grunted, saying gravely, “Something strange has come up in Changbai Mountain.”
