Xiao Meimei’s long black hair cascaded down her shoulder. Her cheeks were beautiful, and she looked exceedingly attractive. Her long neck was fair, and her translucent and lacy nightgown covered what needed to be covered. Two extremely smooth and delicate thighs laid across Ling Yun’s eyes. This was an incredibly beautiful sight for Ling Yun.
However, Ling Yun gently put Xiao Meimei’s slender hand down as he looked at her. “How is she?”
Ling Yun was referring to Zhuang Meifeng.
Xiao Meimei rolled her eyes at Ling Yun as she replied, “Why are you asking me this instead of checking yourself? She wasn’t feeling well throughout the day and waited for you until 4AM. She fell asleep right after you arrived.”
Ling Yun furrowed his brows slightly and stood up abruptly. “You can keep this ¥20,000 and use it for yourself. Also, keep this pistol by your side to protect yourself. Try to increase your own cultivation level as quickly as you can…”
Xiao Meimei nodded playfully. “I got it…”
Ling Yun left Xiao Meimei’s bedroom swiftly as he arrived in the living room. He smiled at Little White, who was lying on the sofa, before entering his own bedroom.
In his bedroom, Ling Yun’s laptop was turned on. Zhuang Meifeng was asleep on the wide chair. She was wearing a snow-white shirt and a pair of light-blue jeans. One could tell that there were traces of tears on her gentle cheeks.
Ling Yun shook his head as he stretched out both his hands to carry Zhuang Meifeng’s delicate and slender body. He cautiously put her down on the bed.
Despite his gentle and cautious movements, Zhuang Meifeng still woke up from it. She opened her eyes. She was surprised that Ling Yun was back.
“Darling, you’re back? Are you hungry? I can cook some food for you…” Zhuang Meifeng raised her slender arms and rubbed her own weary eyes as she got up.
Ling Yun revealed a slight smile. He shook his head and gently caressed Zhuang Meifeng. “Don’t worry, I’m not hungry. How can you sleep so late everyday?”
“Ah…” Zhuang Meifeng suddenly noticed the scars on Ling Yun’s body. Her eyes widened. She looked sorry and anxious at the same time and asked worriedly, “Darling, what happened to your body? Who hit you?!”
Ling Yun smiled to console her. “I bumped into several small hooligans earlier, so I taught them a lesson and ended up like this. However, they are in a worse condition than me, so I didn’t lose out…”
Xiao Meimei was already Houtian Level 3, so her hearing ability was quite sharp. In the next room, when she heard this, she could only shake her head helplessly.
Zhuang Meifeng wasn’t really convinced as she asked, “Darling, you’re such a good fighter. How did those few hooligans manage to hurt you this much?”
Ling Yun chuckled. “They had a lot of men, and two of them could actually fight pretty well. Moreover, their attacks were extremely ruthless. I obeyed your guidance, so I dared not fight them too ruthlessly. Naturally, I have to suffer slightly…”
When Zhuang Meifeng heard this, her cheeks turned red as her eyes were filled with endless regret and self-blame. She cried out, “Darling, this is all my fault. I shouldn’t have been like that earlier in the morning…”
Zhuang Meifeng had blamed herself for the entire day because of the incident. In fact, she even thought that Ling Yun didn’t want to see her since he hadn’t returned home after school today.
Ling Yun let out a gentle smile as he said, “These are just minor injuries, nothing serious.”
With tears in her eyes, Zhuang Meifeng raised her hand to pull down Ling Yun’s towel. When she saw the deep scars on Ling Yun’s thigh and waist, she really understood her own mistake.
In the world where might made right, being merciful to your enemies was equivalent to being cruel to yourself.
Zhuang Meifeng’s eyes were red from hatred flashing through her eyes. She said angrily, “Darling, if anyone dares to attack you in the future, don’t show any mercy to them. You have to teach them a lesson to never mess with you!”
Ling Yun laughed out loud. “Alright, I will always listen to my wife! I only hope that my wife will not pity others in the future. You can only love me more every time…”
Xiao Meimei listened to their conversation and sighed to herself. “Yet another person he lies to…”
Xiao Meimei listened and heard the sound of people taking off their clothes. Following that, she could hear deliberately suppressed moans…
…
The next day, Ling Yun didn’t get out of bed early in the morning like he usually did. He walked out of the bedroom at 9 o’clock in the morning.
Little White was curled up into a white pompon. Using its huge tail to cover its face, the fox looked extremely comfortable on the sofa.
On the other hand, Xiao Meimei was already dressed in a leather shirt and pants. She was sitting cross-legged on the sofa as she watched television.
Ling Yun walked over and sat down on the sofa. He gave Tang Meng a call.
Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu and Yao Rou were currently directing a bunch of construction workers in the clinic. After ending the call with Ling Yun, Tang Meng turned to Yao Rou immediately. “Sister Yao, Brother Yun wants me and Tie Xiaohu to go over now…”
Yao Rou smiled and nodded. “No worries. Boss Wang’s construction workers are extremely capable. I can watch over them myself. You guys can go ahead.”
Tang Meng nodded and shouted at Tie Xiaohu. The two of them left the clinic and got into the car. They went straight to Ling Yun’s apartment.
When the two of them arrived, Ling Yun was already waiting for them in the courtyard.
Ling Yun entered the car and said to Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu, “Today is the Qing Ming Festival. The two of you don’t have anything important at home, right?”
Tang Meng chuckled. “Anything that concerns Brother Yun is important to us…”
“No more bootlicking from you, you little rascal!” Ling Yun continued, “If your families have anything important, head back immediately. It doesn’t matter whether the two of you are here for today’s business.”
Tang Meng saw that Ling Yun was not convinced, so he simply shook his head and told Ling Yun honestly, “Brother Yun, I have to sweep my grandmother’s tomb with my family in the afternoon…”
Tie Xiaohu shook his head. “I really have nothing.”
Ling Yun nodded and smiled. “Good, then let’s finish what we need to in the morning first. Tang Meng can go home in the afternoon. Give me a call once you’re done.”
Tang Meng asked Ling Yun, “Brother Yun, where are we going now?”
Ling Yun smiled. “To The People’s Clinic, Linjiang Road.”
Before Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng arrived, Ling Yun had already given Qin Qiuyue a call. He found out that his mother and sister had already packed up their things at home. Therefore, he was heading straight to The People’s Clinic.
Tang Meng drove the Hummer at extreme speeds as Ling Yun casually asked about Tang Meng’s situation last night. He knew that after sending Ning Lingyu back to Qingshui Wharf Villa, Tang Meng had made another trip to Li Qingchuan’s house.
“Brother Yun, from Uncle Li’s words, it seems like he will invite you over to his house in the next few days…”
Ling Yun smiled and acknowledged that. Ling Yun thought to himself that even though he had saved Li Qingchuan’s life, Li Qingchuan hadn’t hesitated to buy him a villa. This allowed him to save up to over forty million RMB. He definitely had to visit his house someday.
“Oh ya… Brother Yun, my father has also asked if you’re free in the next few days. He wants me to invite you over…”
This statement from Tang Meng was much more casual. After all, he and Ling Yun were considered brothers already. If it wasn’t for the fact that Ling Yun looked constantly busy, he would have brought Ling Yun back home a long time ago.
Ling Yun showed his teeth when he heard this. Going to Tang Meng’s house was not a difficult task, but he had to bring something decent over. He couldn’t possibly go empty handed.
“There’s no rush for me to go to your house. I have to prepare,” Ling Yun mumbled as he contemplated what he should bring over to Tang Meng’s house.
Tang Meng replied anxiously, “Boss, why do you have to prepare anything to go to my house? It is nothing special. What are you preparing?”
“Nonsense! We are brothers, so I naturally have to prepare a gift when visiting your house for the first time. Also, the same for Tie Xiaohu…”
This was the camaraderie between brothers. Once Ling Yun said that, Tie Xiaohu’s and Tang Meng’s hearts felt so warm that they didn’t know what to say.
Of course, if they knew what Ling Yun was preparing to gift their families… Tang Meng would probably not be able to continue driving.
Less than half an hour later, Tang Meng arrived at the entrance of The People’s Clinic.
Ling Yun was the first to alight as he went straight to the backyard of The People’s Clinic. He immediately shouted, “Ma, Lingyu, I’m back.”
“Big Brother…”
Ning Lingyu ran out with a pleasant expression with a paper cap on her head. Evidently, it was to protect her from dust, but she looked incredibly adorable with it.
Ling Yun lightly patted Ning Lingyu’s shoulder as he looked at Qin Qiuyue, who walked out of the door. “Ma, just bring the more important items over. You don’t have to bring the rest over; they aren’t very suitable.”
This was the reason why Ling Yun didn’t let Tang Meng find a house moving company for them. The furniture here at The People’s Clinic was really not appropriate to be shifted to that huge mansion.
Even though the sky was slightly gloomy, the way Qin Qiuyue stood beside The People’s Clinic appeared like the brightest and most beautiful sight in the world. She was like a blooming flower that illuminated the entire broken courtyard. Her exceptional beauty and mature elegance was truly able to captivate anyone.
Qin Qiuyue looked at the Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu standing next to each other and laughed. “I don’t understand… We have already packed up everything, but I’m slightly reluctant to leave. I wanted to clean up the house with your sister for one last time before leaving.”
There was nothing better than one’s own home. It was indeed hard for her to let go after spending so many years with her family in this house.
However, Ling Yun had no real attachment to this place. Frankly speaking, other than his memories with Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu, his feelings for this place were not any better than the ones of the apartment he rented.
At this moment, Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng also arrived in the backyard. After they greeted Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu, Ling Yun asked his mother, “Ma, you don’t have to do anything else. If you need to move these items, just let the three of us know. Let’s leave immediately after loading this stuff.”
After loading up the items, Ling Yun still needed to purchase all the necessary furniture and necessities needed in the Qingshui Wharf Villa. Therefore, he was in a great rush.
Qin Qiuyue nodded her head as she brought the four young teenagers to start loading the items.
Qin Qiuyue was not a pretentious person. She didn’t actually pack too many items. Moreover, she was very frugal, so there weren’t many items that she could bring along. They were done even before the car was filled up.
However, when Qin Qiuyue got Ling Yun to carry a box from her room, Ling Yun was stunned.
The old-looking box was long, narrow and looked rather interesting. Ling Yun couldn’t tell what year it was built, but he felt that the designs on the box were simple yet impressive.
What made Ling Yun stunned was the weight of the box. Another point was the fact that he could sense that the contents in this box were emitting slight traces of spiritual energy!
