"Brother Cheng, why don't you order my dad around?"
Lu Ming spoke tentatively.
What a filial son!
Jiang Cheng laughed in exasperation. This kid was leaving Brother Cheng no way out at all.
He could already picture Father Jiang pulling out Seven Wolves.
"Fine. I'll find some time to visit Uncle Lu."
Lu Ming was delighted.
"Hehe~ Brother Cheng, then I won't disturb you and your sister-in-law."
With that, he ran off in a flash.
Once they got in the car, Qin Yan's longing from the past few days surged forth like Yellow River Water, endless and unstoppable.
Her red lips pressed tightly against Jiang Cheng's, greedily demanding more.
A Long naturally turned the rearview mirror away and put on his headphones.
Only after a long while did Qin Yan, her clothes disheveled, return to her seat and rest her head against Jiang Cheng's shoulder.
"Is everything settled?"
Jiang Cheng inhaled the fragrance drifting from Qin Yan's hair and spoke softly.
Qin Yan nodded, then put on a serious expression.
"If something like this happens again, you have to tell me. Fortunately, I got there in time today. What if that old bastard had hurt you?!"
"Got it."
Warmth flowed through Jiang Cheng's heart as he raised his hand and solemnly swore his promise.
"So, little man, how are you planning to thank me?"
Qin Yan's demeanor changed. She directly sat on Jiang Cheng's lap, slowly lifted his chin, and a trace of mischief flashed through her cool, noble eyes.
Jiang Cheng sighed.
"Then I can only offer myself to you. I wonder if Miss Qin would be willing to give me that chance?"
"Granted."
People's joys and sorrows were never the same.
At the same time,
Ye Bufan was being rushed to Jiangcheng Second Hospital in an ambulance.
In the hospital room, Ye Bufan, wrapped up like a mummy, slowly opened his eyes. He felt as though his entire body had fallen apart and could not move at all.
"Doctor, how is he?"
"The patient has multiple fractures, a mild concussion, and severe facial trauma, but his life is not in danger."
Lin Chongwu let out a small sigh of relief. He had yet to break through to Grandmaster; Ye Bufan could not die.
"Elder... Lin."
Ye Bufan called weakly.
"Young Friend Ye, you're awake."
Lin Chongwu sighed at Ye Bufan's current appearance.
He had not expected Ye Bufan to be beaten into this state by someone at Outer Strength. In the end, he had simply been too careless.
"Qing... Qingcheng and the others?"
He was beyond saving!
Lin Chongwu's mouth twitched. Even in this condition, he was still thinking about women.
Women who had slapped him across the face twice, at that.
"They left with that Young Master Jiang."
Lin Chongwu snorted. Because of Jiang Cheng, the Lin Family had been utterly humiliated this time.
Pfft!
Jiang Cheng, if you dare touch a single hair on Qingcheng and the others, I won't let you off!
Ye Bufan's eyes widened as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Doctor, what's going on?"
"Oh, that's congested blood. He'll be fine once he spits it out."
"But why is he rolling his eyes?"
"Oh no! Someone, emergency treatment!"
"Young Master, why are you looking at me like that?"
In the study, A Long scratched his head and looked innocently at Jiang Cheng.
"How come I've never heard you mention that you know the Hard Body Technique?"
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes as he sized up A Long. This bodyguard of his was no ordinary man; he had hidden himself well.
"Well... Young Master, you never asked."
"Uh..."
Jiang Cheng thought back to the plot. A Long really had not made many moves, mainly because there had not been that many blind fools who dared provoke Jiang Cheng.
Had he been overthinking it?
That made sense. Even Qin Yan, the main heroine, had already been molded into his shape. A Long was hardly anything worth fussing over.
As long as he was loyal, that was enough.
Jiang Cheng stopped dwelling on it and gave A Long a task.
Late at night, Jiang Cheng lay in bed without locking the door. He knew someone would be coming soon.
With a soft creak,
the door slowly opened, and a slender figure sneaked in on tiptoe before gently closing it behind her.
Jiang Cheng felt somewhat helpless. Why did this look like a burglary?
He did not know what Qin Yan was thinking. She would not let him make their relationship public, yet she liked fooling around in secret.
Could it be... she found it more exciting this way?
All at once, Jiang Cheng inexplicably recalled Qin Yan's perverse request last time, and his expression turned strange.
Just then, Qin Yan's head emerged from beneath the blankets.
Luckily, Jiang Cheng had been prepared. Otherwise, he might have been scared into having a heart attack in the middle of the night.
"Little Jiang, it's time for you to serve this palace."
Qin Yan wore a sexy hollowed-out slip dress, her jade-like legs long and slender.
Hearing Qin Yan's enchanting, bewitching voice, Jiang Cheng decided to play Sun Wukong tonight and uphold justice on heaven's behalf.
The next day, by the time Jiang Cheng slowly woke up, Qin Yan had already disappeared.
There was no need to think about it. She had definitely slipped back to her own room before Jiang Ruoxue and the other girl woke up.
After washing up, Jiang Cheng heard arguing downstairs the moment he opened his bedroom door, along with a faint burnt smell.
"Miss Qin should go rest. Making breakfast isn't suitable for a young lady like you."
"Hehe~ Sister Ruoxue's breakfast doesn't seem all that impressive either."
"This is my fault as the older sister. I forgot that the only thing my little sister can manage seems to be noodles."
Jiang Cheng held his forehead, suddenly feeling not particularly hungry.
Just as he turned around,
Li Shiyao's sweet voice reached his ears.
"Senior, you're awake."
At the dining table, Jiang Cheng looked at the two breakfasts before him with a headache.
Could this charred black stuff even be eaten?
Li Shiyao was overjoyed at the sight. On the surface, she had not made breakfast.
In truth, she was waiting for the other two women to fail before carefully preparing a loving breakfast, establishing herself in Jiang Cheng's heart as a virtuous wife and mother.
This move was called advancing by retreating.
"Jiang Cheng, hurry and eat."
Jiang Ruoxue looked full of anticipation. "It won't taste good once it gets cold."
Qin Yan sat nearby with her arms folded, staring at Jiang Cheng with a haughty expression.
She said nothing, yet seemed to have said everything.
Here goes nothing!
Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, carefully picked up a charred fried egg, and took a small bite.
The next second, he poured three large cups of water into his mouth.
Then he used the excuse of going to the bathroom and headed outside.
Was it really that bad?
Qin Yan and Jiang Ruoxue exchanged a glance, then quietly moved their respective plates in front of themselves and took a small taste.
Neither of them said anything...
At Jiangcheng Second Hospital,
Ye Bufan lay on the hospital bed. He was recovering quickly, and his mental state had clearly improved as well.
"Jiang Cheng, once I leave the hospital, I'll make you pay."
As he spoke, he propped himself up and sat up, then took a small silver case from his clothes.
When he opened it, rows of silver needles lay inside.
"How could such minor injuries be worth mentioning? I, Ye Bufan, am the Divine Doctor. One needle, and I'll be full of vitality."
Ye Bufan smiled smugly.
Ever since coming down the mountain, he had never had the chance to use his heaven-shaking, ghost-weeping medical skills. Now, he finally had an opportunity.
Although he was using them on himself, those destined for greatness did not fuss over trivial details.
The silver needle slowly descended as Ye Bufan focused intently.
A tiny error could lead to a thousand-mile difference. At a time like this, he absolutely could not be disturbed.
Otherwise...
