Seeing that Li Jing had closed the door to the room, Gu Chen finally looked away. Qianqian, on the other hand, skipped out of another room. When she saw Gu Chen, her eyes lit up and she immediately jumped into his arms!
"Big brother!"
The little girl called out sweetly.
"Good girl." Gu Chen patted Qianqian's head. Today, Qianqian wore two little braids sticking up in the air, making her look even more lively and cute.
Li Jing's house is about 130 square meters, with three bedrooms and one living room. Both the decoration and the furnishings are very cozy. It seems that Li Jing is not only successful in her career, but also very attentive to her family.
A virtuous wife and loving mother, this is it.
Qianqian took Gu Chen's hand, grabbed a handful of candy from the coffee table, and stuffed it into Gu Chen hand, saying, "Big brother, have some candy."
"Okay." Gu Chen smiled.
Seeing Gu Chen eat her candy, Qianqian's big eyes crinkled into crescents. She cautiously leaned close to Gu Chen's ear and whispered, "Big brother, I'll tell you our little secret, but I haven't told my mom yet!"
"A little secret?" Gu Chen was taken aback at first, then realized that Qianqian was referring to the flying sword incident from last time.
"Qianqian is such a good girl." Gu Chen pinched her little cheek and said, "Then let's keep the secret forever, okay?"
"Mm." Qianqian nodded solemnly.
"What are you talking about?" Li Jing came out of the room, saw Qianqian sitting next to Gu Chen, and gave her a doting smile, saying, "Don't bother your brother Gu Chen."
"Qianqian so cute, she won't be annoyed." Gu Chen chuckled, noticing that Li Jing had changed into a more conservative outfit. After all, she was a young man full of vigor, and he was actually a little disappointed.
"Why did you decide to come over so late?" Li Jing hugged Qianqian and asked, "Haven't you been going to school lately?"
It's almost eight o'clock now, which is indeed quite late. If Li Jing didn't trust Gu Chen 'Gu Chen character, she might not have opened the door for him at this hour.
"Well, I've been busy lately and haven't been to school." Gu Chen didn't explain much, saying, "Sister Jing, I promised to treat Qianqian last time, and it's been delayed for quite a while. That's why I'm here today."
"There's no need to rush." Seeing that Gu Chen was concerned about her daughter, Li Jing said gratefully, "You must be very busy usually, you can come over when you have time."
"It's alright, I already promised you. I'd feel guilty if I didn't resolve this," Gu Chen said with a smile. "Besides, helping Qianqian with her treatment is a long-term process. My friend just happened to find a medicinal herb today, so I rushed over."
"Don't say that," Li Jing said. "If we're talking about owing you, it's us who owe you. We misunderstood you last time, but you didn't hold it against us. Now you're helping my daughter get treatment. I really don't know how to repay you."
"Talking about repaying or thanking you is too formal," Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Qianqian so cute, I've already treated her like my goddaughter, and you, Sister Jing, are naturally my own sister."
Gu Chen's words were very skillful, subtly closing the distance between him and Li Jing, and gaining her trust and goodwill.
Li Jing didn't notice anything wrong with Gu Chen's words; instead, she was so moved that she didn't know what to say, and her beautiful eyes were almost overflowing with tears.
Gu Chen couldn't stand Li Jing's appearance, so he coughed and said, "Where's the bathroom? I'll go prepare it."
"Over there. By the way, how do you plan to treat it?" Li Jing pointed in a direction.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I made some medicinal soup for Qianqian. She needs to soak in it. Do you have a bathtub?"
"Some."
Gu Chen entered the bathroom. There was still some steam and warmth around, indicating that someone had just used it.
With a quick glance, Gu Chen spotted a pair of pink lace panties hanging on the edge of the bathtub, as if they had just been changed.
No wonder Li Jing was dressed like that earlier; she had just finished showering.
A thought flashed through Gu Chen's mind.
"That's right!"
Ta-da--
Li Jing seemed to have remembered this matter as well. With a gasp, she rushed in from outside, wearing slippers, and grabbed the underwear from the bathtub.
Seeing Gu Chen staring at her, Li Jing's already beautiful face became even more radiant, and she stammered, "I forgot to collect it, I'm so sorry, so sorry."
After saying that, he rushed out as if fleeing.
After a long pause, a smile finally appeared on Gu Chen's lips.
If we're talking about women who can stimulate a man's nerves, there are three types: one is the aloof and unapproachable woman; another is the alluring woman who is half-concealed, with a light veil covering her body and her hair cascading down her back; and the third is a married woman or young woman like Li Jing, who reveals the shyness of a young girl.
This kind of woman is as gentle as a newly emerged swallow's first song, and as sorrowful as a pear blossom in the rain.
Gu Chen quickly calmed down. Although Li Jing was incredibly beautiful, he had seen many goddesses and fairies before. His current emotions were just the result of youthful passion. She regarded him as her savior and was worried about Qianqian's illness. If he had any romantic thoughts at this time, he would be a terrible person.
Let's treat Qianqian first.
Gu Chen then thought to himself calmly.
Gu Chen took the prepared herbal medicine packet from his pocket and poured it into the bathtub.
These medicinal herbs were all prepared by Lu Fan according to Gu Chen's requirements. The Zhou Family's matter had ended several days ago, and Lu Fan had actually prepared them long ago, but Gu Chen had been helping his father cultivate recently and only had time to pick them up today.
"These medicinal herbs are all of yang nature, which will be entirely beneficial to Qianqian's treatment. They're enough to increase the success rate of dispelling the cold!"
The medicinal herbs Lu Fan prepared would be worth tens of millions on the black market, but he didn't take a penny to please Gu Chen. This particular herbal decoction was a combination only Gu Chen knew how to make; it used Nine Yang Crimson Flame Bamboo as the main ingredient, making it extremely potent, all to suppress Qianqian's coldness.
Although the Nine Yin Mystic Physique is an exceptional physique that cultivators encounter only once in a thousand years, without proper guidance over a long period, the Nine Yin Qi has already dissipated within the body. If not handled properly, it can indeed lead to premature death.
Gu Chen arranged things for a while before letting Qianqian in.
"Take off your clothes."
Gu Chen said to Qianqian, and after he finished speaking, he felt that he was being a little wicked, but noticing Li Jing's gaze, he kept his face serious and solemn.
Qianqian nodded obediently and then began to take off her clothes. Her skin was as soft as silk and as smooth and shiny as a mirror. She was like a white jade doll, and no one would doubt that her angelic face would make her a stunning beauty when she grew up.
Moreover, if one were to embark on a cultivation journey and acquire even more ethereal qualities, their aura would likely become even more otherworldly.
