Before long, Qin Yao came home from her evening study session.
She learned that the pretty young woman dancing in the video was actually her brother's girlfriend.
Delighted, she immediately started calling her "sister-in-law" at every opportunity.
Bai Xiyue was even better at winning people over, praising her intelligence, her looks, and how likable she was.
They even made plans to go shopping together another day.
By now, Qin Feng had been relegated to the sidelines.
Qin Feng had originally put Egg Yolk away because he was afraid his parents would bombard him with questions.
But when he saw Qin Yao let Charmander out,
he felt reassured.
The moment Egg Yolk emerged, his little face was full of displeasure.
"Pika!"
や(｡◕ˇ0ˇ◕｡)
Bai Xiyue also let Butterfree out.
"Wow, your Pokémon is so pretty, sister-in-law!"
Girls naturally had no resistance to cute little pink creatures like this.
Soon, the three adorable Pokémon-Pikachu, Charmander, and Butterfree-were chatting together.
Charmander: "Pikachu, your dad is my mom's older brother, so you should call me Uncle!"
Pikachu looked at Butterfree. "Your mom is my dad's girlfriend, so you should call me Dad."
Butterfree: "??? Ah, now I'm confused!"
Before long, night fell.
Qin Yao had classes the next day, so she went to bed early.
Zheng Yujie replaced the sheets and bedding in the bedroom with fresh ones.
She looked at Bai Xiyue and said,
"Xiyue, you can sleep with me tonight. Qin Feng and his dad can share a room."
Bai Xiyue was about to agree.
But Qin Feng beat her to it.
"No need. She usually sleeps with me. She can't sleep well without me!"
Zheng Yujie froze at those words.
As a schoolteacher, she naturally knew she shouldn't say anything at a time like this.
Otherwise, whatever she said would only embarrass Bai Xiyue.
Bai Xiyue's beautiful eyes went wide.
She had never expected Qin Feng to strike back.
Qin Zhengjun knew what was going on and quickly ushered his wife into their room.
Only Qin Feng and Bai Xiyue remained in the living room.
"Heh, I really underestimated you."
"Not bad. You're improving!"
Bai Xiyue gave Qin Feng a thumbs-up!
Qin Feng got up and headed toward his room, saying as he walked,
"I learned from you!"
An hour later, in Qin Feng's room.
Bai Xiyue: "You're poking me. It hurts."
Qin Feng: ???
Bai Xiyue: "Your elbow is digging into me. Move it!"
Qin Feng: "Uh!"
He had originally only wanted to get back at Bai Xiyue a little.
But he had never imagined she would actually sleep in the same bed as him.
This was ridiculous!
Suddenly, both their phones chimed at the same time.
Neither of them immediately reached for their phone.
They didn't have to think to know Jiang Xiaoyu must have sent a message in the group chat.
I haven't done a damn thing. Why am I feeling guilty?
Qin Feng grumbled to himself.
A moment later, he was the first to pick up his phone.
Jiang Xiaoyu: "Huh, why did you both disappear today? Are you still in Magic City?"
They both turned over at the same time.
Their eyes met.
A second later,
they both chose silence.
They tossed their phones aside.
Time for bed!
Early the next morning, Qin Feng slipped out of the house.
With Bai Xiyue there, he couldn't stay home for long.
Otherwise, trouble was guaranteed.
Sitting in the car, Qin Feng took out his phone and sent a message to the group.
"I came back to Jiangning last night, then went home to see my family. Went to bed pretty early!"
Taken literally, he had answered every question.
Yet he had cleverly sidestepped the crucial issue.
Bai Xiyue: "I went to bed early last night too!"
Jiang Xiaoyu: "Oh, so that's why. Are you free today? Want to have a battle?"
Qin Feng: "Ask Miss Bai to keep you company. My Pikachu slept during the day and couldn't sleep at night!"
As usual, Qin Feng checked the system.
[Current sales revenue: 3,550,000,000] [Current number of Pokémon Trainers: 6,215] [Current number of Pokémon Home stores owned: 45] [Current number of battles completed: 1,345]
The number of Trainers had surged between yesterday afternoon and this morning.
The battle count had also increased considerably.
Qin Feng was very pleased with these results.
He now had more than enough funds.
Qin Feng planned to open another 200 Pokémon stores across Huaxia.
These 200 stores would cover nearly all the second- and third-tier cities.
At the very least, they would meet the initial market demand.
The car soon arrived at the Pokémon Home.
"Welcome, boss!"
Changpu was wearing a short black qipao with black stockings and high heels today.
The well-tailored qipao hugged her shapely figure, showing off every inch of her perfect curves!
A sweet smile and an adorable expression.
The sight had both the man and his Pokémon staring with fire in their eyes.
"Pikachu~"
ヽ(｡✪‿✪｡) ﾉ
Changpu suddenly said,
"Boss, this outfit you bought me is really pretty, and it fits perfectly."
"Lots of customers have complimented it!"
Qin Feng instantly turned to stone!
What the fuck!
I seriously suspect you did that on purpose.
Xiao Changchang, you've gone bad!
Bai Xiyue rolled her eyes in disdain.
"Ptooey!"
Qin Feng spent the entire morning doing just one thing: frantically picking locations on the map to open stores.
He was averaging about two per minute.
Although opening a store cost ten million,
Qin Feng now understood firsthand that spending money could sometimes be exhausting too.
At noon, a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up outside the Pokémon Home.
Qin Feng didn't find that particularly strange.
But Bai Xiyue's expression visibly shifted.
The car door opened, and a pampered rich young man with slicked-back hair stepped out.
It was Yao Jianpan, whom Qin Feng had met in Magic City.
"Your nemesis is here," Qin Feng teased.
Bai Xiyue jabbed him with her elbow.
"He might not be here for me."
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat at that.
He suddenly remembered what Bai Xiyue had said that day at the RM Tower.
That really was quite possible.
But he also felt genuinely wronged.
He was getting caught in the crossfire!
"I'm innocent. You can explain to him that we're just business partners," Qin Feng said.
Bai Xiyue snorted. "Why should I?"
Just then, the lovely Little Fish arrived as well.
The moment she saw Bai Xiyue, dimples appeared on her exquisite oval face.
"Sister Yue!"
The two women then affectionately took each other's hands.
They didn't spare Qin Feng another glance.
"Hey! Yao Jianpan's family is pretty rich, right?" Qin Feng asked.
Bai Xiyue nodded. "Very rich. He's the son of one of the RM Group's top two shareholders. How could he not be?"
Qin Feng snapped his fingers. "Perfect. As long as he's rich. For money's sake, I'll personally welcome him today!"
With that, he called Changpu over.
Then the boss and his employee began plotting together.
