The night was deep, and all was quiet.
Lin Fan lay alone in the western wing of the courtyard.
At that mont, he suddenly missed the days when he used to sleep under the bed.
What happened to the plans for intimacy enhancent, the promises of a honeymoon trip?
Why did they suddenly disappear?
"Ding-a-ling..."
Just as Lin Fan was utterly baffled,
the telephone by the bed began to ring.
It was Yang Linglong calling.
"You’re back, why didn’t you tell !"
As soon as the call connected, Yang Linglong’s voice of questioning ca right through.
"I’ve been dealing with so things at hand, just finished and haven’t had the chance to call you yet. How did you know I was back?"
Lin Fan leaned against the headboard.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to find her, but he didn’t dare to.
After all, she had made herself clear last ti.
If his wife were Ning ngyao, she would have been so ashad that she’d consider suicide.
"It was your boss who called , that’s how I found out you guys were back. What on earth were you doing that you had to be so secretive, even managing to drop your phones in water?"
Yang Linglong said indignantly.
She hadn’t planned to ask, considering Lin Fan’s special identity.
But after being out of touch for so long, she was really worried.
"Dropping the phone in water is a minor issue, being able to co back alive is what’s important. Let’s et and talk about it in detail another day."
Lin Fan knew she and Ning ngyao were close friends who shared everything.
If they t, he couldn’t avoid talking about what happened on Demon Island.
So there was no need to hide anything.
Because Ning ngyao would have already delineated the boundaries of their relationship on her own.
"You’ve returned to Jiangning, aren’t you planning to co over now?"
Yang Linglong held the phone and suddenly whispered, "I bought a new pair of socks, want to co over and try how they feel?"
"Cough cough... I’m a bit tired."
Lin Fan almost spat out blood.
The ones who don’t want to sleep won’t let you, and the ones you’re afraid to sleep with insist on offering themselves.
This might very well be the greatest pain for a man.
"Alright then, ng Yao asked to go shopping with her tomorrow. She said she’s bringing a new friend along, but I didn’t agree. Although I favor love over friendship, I want to see you more. How about we go buy a new outfit tomorrow? Dad has been saying you haven’t co over for dinner in a long ti. You can wear it when you co over to my place, okay?"
Yang Linglong pleaded with a coquettish whine.
Leaving Lin Fan with no chance to refuse.
He could only reluctantly agree.
"This is really a bit troubleso."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan leaned against the headboard.
He hadn’t even sorted out the relationships between the three of them yet,
and abruptly, Xu Zhi Rou entered the picture.
Add to that Shangguan Min Yue from last night, now officially accepted into marriage.
He truly felt a bit overwheld.
When this romantic entanglent would co to an end, he had no idea.
......
"Jiaqi, are you going out?"
The next morning, as Zhao Jiaqi finished dressing up and was about to head out,
she ran into Qi Qi, who was pushing the door open to leave.
"Yeah, I’ve made plans to go shopping with a couple of friends. Qi Qi, I was actually looking for you."
Seeing Li Qiqi, Zhao Jiaqi quickly approached her,
grabbing her arm.
"What’s up?"
Li Qiqi looked at Zhao Jiaqi with confusion,
finding the sudden flattery a bit suspicious.
"You know, you helped Grandpa make that ten-ingredient tonic soup a while back, could you help get another batch?"
Zhao Jiaqi whispered in Li Qiqi’s ear, her voice low,
after all, going to Li Yizhen with such a request,
would be frankly too embarrassing to bring up.
"It’s a piece of cake; I know the prescription. It’s just a matter of minutes."
Li Qiqi readily agreed without hesitation, "Jiaqi, doesn’t your boyfriend asure up either!"
"Qi Qi, don’t talk nonsense; I don’t have a boyfriend. It’s my friend’s husband who seems to have the will but not the strength."
Zhao Jiaqi’s face turned red with embarrassnt as she quickly denied it.
"What’s with n these days, all so feeble? How can such people achieve anything great? But if everyone were like Lin Fan, then the path to becoming a healer would be a dead end."
When Li Qiqi talked about n, she naturally thought of Lin Fan.
She had missed him greatly after not seeing him for several days.
"He doesn’t necessarily have such a great body, either."
Zhao Jiaqi naturally couldn’t say that the dicine was being prepared for Lin Fan.
She could only mutter under her breath.
"Right, Jiaqi, can you take with you when you go shopping? Lin Fan always says my clothes are a bit childish. You’re so fashionable, could you help pick out so clothes? When Lin Fan gets back, I’ll wear them for him to see."
Li Qiqi suddenly grabbed Zhao Jiaqi’s arm.
Her sense of fashion was always very bold.
Walking down the street, she turned heads without fail.
"This..."
Qi Qi’s request left Zhao Jiaqi montarily stunned.
In her shopping party, there would also be Ning ngyao.
She was the wife of Lin Fan whom Qi Qi had longed for.
If they t and sothing slipped out, it would be troubleso.
"If it’s inconvenient, then forget it."
Li Qiqi could tell Zhao Jiaqi was struggling.
She quickly and considerately responded.
"What inconvenience? To tell you the truth, I’m not that close with them. After all, I’ve only t one of them once, and the other was a childhood playmate, not seen for many years. It would be nice to have you with , having a sister to talk to won’t be so boring. Now, go change into another outfit quickly; I’ll wait for you."
Zhao Jiaqi quickly held on to Li Qiqi’s hand.
For one, she was staying at their place, and secondly, she needed their help.
Moreover, her relationship with Xu Zhi Rou could only be considered average at best.
Having Qi Qi along was naturally the best option.
"Okay, wait for then, I’ll be quick."
Li Qiqi ran back into her room, happy.
She soon changed into a skirt.
And so, the two of them walked hand in hand, out of dicine King House.
They casually hailed a cab and made their way to the agreed location.
"Jiaqi, I’ve only heard about your close relationship with Miss Shangguan before. How co you have a new bestie now?"
Sitting in the cab, Li Qiqi curiously asked.
"It was a chance encounter."
Zhao Jiaqi had her mind full of the awkwardness that might ensue between Qi Qi and Ning ngyao when they t.
Just like her asking Shangguan Min Yue last night was only out of politeness.
After all, Lin Fan was still in the middle of it all.
She wondered how much courage Xu Zhi Rou had to stay with the Ning Family.
Having to watch the two of them being so sweet together all day long would surely be torturous.
Soon, the taxi stopped in front of Jiangning’s most bustling comrcial district.
As soon as they got out of the cab, they saw two tall beauties standing in the distance.
Ning ngyao in her white dress looked like a fairy descended to earth.
Xu Zhi Rou in her jeans and crop top exuded a robust elegance.
These two stunning beauties standing there drew many sidelong glances from people around them.
The level of appeal made many people surreptitiously take out their phones.
To capture this mont as a keepsake.
"Qi Qi, that’s my friend..."
Zhao Jiaqi, holding hands with Qi Qi, pointed toward the distant Ning ngyao and Xu Zhi Rou.
But before she could finish speaking, Li Qiqi had already run over to them.
"Senior sister, what are you doing here!"
The appearance of Li Qiqi surprised Ning ngyao as well.
However, the astonishnt on Zhao Jiaqi’s face was evident.
She never expected Li Qiqi and Ning ngyao to know each other.
This was too thrilling.
