Chapter 363: Chapter 266: Oppressive
Sun Xiaoran ntioned an address to the taxi driver, and then the cab started moving.
Following that, Sun Xiaoran and Liu Wentian both remained silent, creating a sowhat oppressive atmosphere inside the car.
The taxi driver was a 56-year-old man with a face showing the vicissitudes of life, yet he maintained an optimistic smile. While driving, he chuckled and said, “Young man, did you make your wife angry?”
Liu Wentian touched his nose and said awkwardly, “No.”
The other was just a stranger, and he didn’t feel like explaining too much.
For so reason, Sun Xiaoran suddenly blurted out, “He did make angry, extrely annoying!!”
...
Her tone carried a kind of tearful grievance.
Liu Wentian was sowhat dumbfounded. What’s going on?
The taxi driver shook his head, chuckling, and said, “Young man, don’t take for granted the good things you have. To have such a beautiful wife, other n would treasure her like a jewel. And yet you made her angry and won’t even admit it, that’s not good. But your wife really loves you, it hasn’t even been two minutes, and she’s already snuck several glances at you.”
“Ah? I did not!” Sun Xiaoran’s face suddenly flushed red, and she quickly turned to look out the window, her gaze panicked and tinged with embarrassnt.
“Hehe.” The driver laughed softly, shook his head, and said no more.
In his eyes, Liu Wentian and the woman were just a couple having a small tiff, but actually quite in love. This kind of couple, even when they argue, there’s a sweetness to it, and he really didn’t need to say anything.
However, once he stopped talking, Liu Wentian and Sun Xiaoran felt a bit awkward, the atmosphere turning sowhat ambiguous. Sun Xiaoran didn’t speak a word, just blushed.
About an hour later, the taxi entered a village within the city and stopped in front of a very old residential building.
Liu Wentian was even more puzzled. As far as he knew, Sun Xiaoran’s job was quite decent; she had even ntioned introducing him to a job. How could she live in such a poor environnt?
But since Sun Xiaoran chose not to speak, he wouldn’t ask.
After she had safely returned ho, Liu Wentian was also planning to say goodbye. However, after getting out of the car, Sun Xiaoran bit her lip and seed to make a resolute decision, her face slightly flushed. She leaned back into the taxi and pulled on Liu Wentian’s clothes, coaxing him softly, “Liu Wentian, get out of the car.”
Liu Wentian was puzzled about what she was intending to do when the taxi driver suddenly beca angry and urged,
“Hey, young man, what are you trying to do? Having a fight and now not even going ho? Leaving your wife alone at ho? Is that what a man does? I’m telling you, you must get out of my cab. I won’t drive you away! Whatever you pay , I won’t let you leave in my car! Get out! Get out! Hurry up and get out! Go ho with your wife!”
Liu Wentian was completely baffled.
Qin Family.
An elderly lady with graying temples but rosy skin lay on a Taishi chair, her eyes closed as if she were asleep.
Standing beside her was a middle-aged man who bore a slight resemblance to Qin Boyan. He was Qin Boyan’s father, the head of the Qin Family, Qin Yaowei.
“Mother, you said that the kid who crippled Minghao and injured Boyan is Qin Keqing’s lover? Are you sure there’s no mistake?” Qin Yaowei’s face was filled with anger and surprise.
The old lady slowly opened her eyes, which were sowhat murky but had a sharp look, and said, “The sa words, don’t make repeat them a second ti. Leave that bastard be for now.”
Her tone was calm and casual, yet the words she spoke were harsh.
Qin Yaowei frowned and said, “Boyan’s legs were nearly crippled by him, and Minghao is now incapable of being a man; are we really just going to let him off? Why not just kill him, and be done with it?”
The old lady rubbed her temples, looking sowhat tired, and said, “If you, father and son, had even one-tenth of Qin Keqing’s ability, you could kill him anyti, and I wouldn’t stop you.”
Qin Yaowei’s face beca incredibly awkward.
As the head of the Qin Family, he felt like a child being scolded, not daring to say another word!
People in the upper echelons of Guangyang City knew that the real controller of the Qin Family was the old Mrs. Qin, not him, Qin Yaowei. Although he was called the head of the family, he might as well be called a puppet.
Seeing her son hesitantly unable to speak, the old lady felt a surge of helplessness. She bore two sons; the elder was a failure, and the younger was nothing but a worm!
She coldly said, “That bastard seems to have so skills now. Even Luo from the Red Demon rcenary Group is no match for him. I’ve checked, and in Shenming City, even Jing Hongkun of Blood Night was defeated by him. He must be an Ancient Martial Peak expert by now!”
Qin Yaowei’s eyes widened in shock, and he exclaid, “How is that possible!”
As the head of the Qin Family, he was quite knowledgeable about Ancient Martial Arts experts.
Ancient Martial Peak experts were almost beyond human, capable of tearing fierce beasts like tigers and wolves to shreds. Ordinary weapons posed no threat to such beings!
That re country bumpkin had reached the Postnatal Peak, which truly astonished him.
“What are you panicking about!”
The old lady scolded sharply, scoffed, and said, “Postnatal Peak, so what? As long as he hasn’t reached King Martial or beco a Grandmaster, he is no threat to the Qin Family! We are not lacking experts of that level!”
Her eyes glead, “Besides, even if he were lucky enough to beco a King Martial, so what? We are about to form an alliance through marriage with the Qi Family, and the allied Xiang Family, as well as the Nine Tigers Gang, all have King Martial experts. The leader of the Red Demon rcenary Group is also a King Martial expert. That bastard hurt Luo, and the rcenaries of Red Demon won’t let him get away with it! He will definitely die, it’s just a matter of ti!”
At this point, Qin Yaowei’s face finally settled down, indeed, let alone a Postnatal Peak, even if he was a King Martial expert, once they allied with the Qi Family through marriage, what would that amount to!
“Old lady,” he said, “just wait. Once Qin Keqing and Qi Chenghan are married and things are settled, we can kill him. By then, even if that bastard Qin Keqing goes mad, he won’t be able to change anything. Although I don’t understand whether this little bastard ca to Guangyang City for her, if he dares to provoke Qin Keqing again and the Qi Family finds out, he will die a miserable death!”
Her voice was full of indifference. When she spoke about killing Liu Wentian, her tone was as casual as if she were discussing what to eat for dinner tonight.
……
The taxi driver, mistaken about sothing, hurriedly got out of the car, leaving Liu Wentian speechless.
Following Sun Xiaoran up the stairs, he entered the cramped rental room where Sun Xiaoran had been blushing and silent all along.
The rental was very small, just over thirty square ters, containing only a simple table and a bed, and a basic bathroom.
Liu Wentian looked around and felt a sense of familiarity. Before he received his inheritance, he too lived in such small rooms.
“Xiaoran, is there sothing you want to tell ?” Liu Wentian took the initiative and asked.
At that mont, Sun Xiaoran’s heart was pounding uncontrollably. She couldn’t understand why she had let Liu Wentian get off at her place.
Just thinking about Liu Wentian returning to the hotel to find his beautiful girlfriend made her feel uncomfortable.
Seeing her stamr without saying much, Liu Wentian smiled and said, “Let take your pulse. You clearly haven’t been resting well lately. Be careful not to let your health suffer.”
“You know how to take a pulse?” Sun Xiaoran asked, surprised.
“Of course, I am a magical healer,” Liu Wentian raised an eyebrow, his tone sowhat arrogant, making him look quite deserving of a beating.
“Pfft!”
Sun Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh out, then stretched out her wrist, curiosity in her eyes, “Well then, Doctor Liu, check if there’s sothing wrong with my body.”
After taking her pulse and confirming nothing serious, Liu Wentian smiled and said, “There’s nothing wrong with your body. You just haven’t rested well and are under too much stress. Rember, health is most important. You can’t earn all the money in the world; don’t overwork yourself. Rest is crucial.”
Sun Xiaoran smiled and replied, “I will.”
“You seem to doubt my dical skills?” Liu Wentian pretended to be angry as he spoke.
Sun Xiaoran gently smiled, “Not at all.”
She looked tired, with faint dark circles under her eyes – obviously due to lack of rest, which was easy to see. Thus, Liu Wentian’s words were nothing out of the ordinary.
Liu Wentian took out his silver needles, sat on her bed, and said, “Co over here. As a favor to an old classmate, I’ll give you acupuncture for free.”
Sun Xiaoran looked at the silver needles in Liu Wentian’s hand in astonishnt and said, “You know how to perform acupuncture? Really or not?”
She playfully added, “You’re not planning to murder an old classmate, are you?”
“Exactly, but I have to do sothing first before killing,” Liu Wentian replied with a wicked smile.
Sun Xiaoran’s face imdiately turned red, clearly not the type of woman who could discuss racy subjects with a man without blushing and becoming breathless.
She sat next to Liu Wentian with a look of suspicion in her eyes. Acupuncture wasn’t sothing easy to master, and it seed Liu Wentian was aiming for her head, which made her a bit scared.
But she trusted Liu Wentian a lot, so despite her doubts, she didn’t refuse.
Liu Wentian began placing needles on Sun Xiaoran’s head. When the silver needles pierced into her own skull, she tensed up, scared shut her eyes, but then no pain ca, just a tingling sensation spreading from her brain throughout her body.
She opened her eyes, looking at Liu Wentian in amazent.
The energy flowing from the needles felt like a spiritual spring, circulating inside her, quickly sweeping away the tiredness. Her body felt incredibly relaxed and comfortable, making her involuntarily moan.
Liu Wentian’s hand trembled, speechless as he watched Sun Xiaoran. That moan was really too enticing.
Sun Xiaoran also realized what had happened and quickly covered her mouth, her face flushed and her eyes shy.
About ten minutes later, Liu Wentian removed all the needles.
Sun Xiaoran felt miraculously refreshed, her body floating lightly as she had never felt so relaxed before.
She looked at Liu Wentian with complicated eyes. The man had beco so excellent and mysterious over the years, feeling incredibly distant.
Looking around her shabby rental, a feeling of inferiority flowed through her heart.
Liu Wentian, not understanding Sun Xiaoran’s thoughts, smiled and said, “I have already adjusted your body, but you still need to rest well afterward. Otherwise, it will be difficult for your body to fully recover.”
Sun Xiaoran nodded and was about to speak when suddenly a strange woman’s voice ca through.
Both were startled at first, then Liu Wentian’s eye twitched and his expression turned weird, while Sun Xiaoran’s eyes widened, her face red as a monkey’s butt.
Liu Wentian was speechless in his mind. The wall’s soundproofing was so poor that they could even hear the next-door neighbors going at it!
