Having arranged Dugu Bo,
it was already dusk.
The setting sun in the sky gradually sank.
Ye Qiu once again appeared before the gates of the Nine Heart Seatang Ye Estate.
"Quick, quickly go inform the Young Miss and Madam, the son-in-law has arrived."
"???"
Watching the servant quickly run into the estate,
Ye Qiu stood bewildered at the entrance, his mind full of questions.
What was Aunt Ye up to?
He had said he would give her a satisfactory answer, so why was she pushing things so much?
When did he become the Ye family's son-in-law?
Not long after,
that fellow's loud voice had already informed everyone in the Ye Estate of Ye Qiu's arrival.
Ye Qinshui pulled the somewhat awkward Ye Lingling and walked over quickly.
Ye Lingling wore a veil, but the shame and annoyance in her eyes were almost overflowing.
She glared resentfully at her mother.
She looked at Ye Qiu with embarrassment.
"Haha… Xiao Qiu, the servants at home are ignorant, please don't mind them."
Ye Qinshui smiled, without a hint of apology on her face.
"Aunt Ye, it's fine."
Ye Qiu shook his head.
What else could he say? Should he give that guy a Heavenly Illumination?
"Lingling, Xiao Qiu is here to pick you up, why are you still standing there in a daze?"
Ye Qinshui helplessly rolled her eyes at her daughter.
With such a big assist from her,
she couldn't let her down.
Seeing Ye Lingling still not moving, Ye Qinshui, in a fit of exasperation, gently pushed her.
"Mom? What are you doing?!"
Ye Lingling frowned, looking at her with displeasure.
"You brat, have you forgotten how Mom taught you?"
Ye Qinshui's eyes widened.
Watching the way this mother and daughter communicated, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Ye Lingling glanced at Ye Qiu evasively.
Remembering her mother teaching her to be more proactive, to know how to entice, to know how to unintentionally reveal her great advantages and strengths,
a pink blush spread across her face.
Ye Qiu asked with concern:
"Lingling, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Ye Lingling shook her head and quickly walked to Ye Qiu's side.
Normally, holding hands would be very normal, but with Ye Qinshui's meddling, Ye Lingling felt very awkward.
Shyly squeezing Ye Qiu's fingers, she whispered:
"Ye Qiu, let's go quickly."
"Mm."
Ye Qiu nodded.
He understood Ye Lingling; Aunt Ye was indeed very difficult to deal with.
"Aunt Ye, then I'll take Lingling and leave first."
Ye Qinshui was about to nod.
But she also noticed that Ye Qiu's condition was a bit off.
She asked with concern:
"Xiao Qiu, are you injured?"
Hearing Ye Qinshui's voice, Ye Lingling's expression changed, and her grip on Ye Qiu's hand tightened a bit as she looked up.
His face was indeed a bit pale.
Ye Lingling's eyes showed both concern and curiosity.
"Mm, I did suffer a minor injury, it's nothing serious."
Ye Qiu nodded.
Ye Qinshui looked at her foolish daughter, so angry that her teeth ached.
You can't help with other things.
But he's injured, and it's right up your alley professionally, yet you're still standing there foolishly watching!
Can watching heal the injury?!
Ye Lingling naturally saw Ye Qinshui's gaze.
But she knew clearly.
Ye Qiu himself also had healing Spirit Ability, and although its effect was not as good as Nine Heart Sea Tang, it was already very powerful.
If it were a common injury, he would have healed it himself long ago.
He wouldn't need her at all.
"Aunt Ye, if there's nothing else, this junior will take his leave."
Ye Qiu said again.
"Alright, alright."
Ye Qinshui sighed, feeling a bit disheartened.
This daughter… she was a bit hard to move!
Divine Might activated.
Ye Qiu took Ye Lingling and disappeared from the gates of the Ye Estate.
In the Divine Might Space,
Ye Lingling suddenly stopped Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, is there anything I can help with?"
"Lingling, don't worry, it's really not a serious injury, it'll be fine overnight."
Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head.
"Alright then, if you need anything… just tell me anytime."
Ye Lingling said softly.
Then, remembering Ye Qinshui's words, she changed from holding Ye Qiu's hand to hugging him, delving deep into the "gully"...
showcasing her great advantages.
"Uh, mm, I will."
Ye Qiu squeezed her hand tightly, as a response.
...
Life Lake.
A large pot had already been set up here.
Ning Rongrong's promise to stew kidneys for Ye Qiu was not just talk.
She had to properly nourish Ye Qiu.
Although she herself often had a sore throat, aching mouth, tired feet and legs, and weary hands now,
being strong now didn't mean he could always be strong.
She hadn't truly tried it yet.
She definitely had to take good care of Ye Qiu, otherwise, when it was her turn to indulge, if the time became shorter… wouldn't she lose out on a lot, and miss out on a lot of fun?!
Ning Rongrong, blushing, held a large ladle and stirred the big black pot.
The others weren't too concerned about it.
They were all playing Dou Dizhu, or cultivating.
"Xiao Qiu… you're back."
As soon as Ye Qiu appeared,
Xiao Wu dropped the cards in her hand and ran over.
She giggled and hugged Ye Qiu's arm.
Ye Qiu laughed wryly.
It seemed this rogue rabbit was once again being unscrupulous, throwing her cards away when she was about to lose.
Otherwise, how could Xiao Lan, who was playing with her,
be behind Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu Jie, why are you cheating again?" Xiao Lan angrily threw away the cards in her hand; she had already lost quite a few snacks.
"Xiao Lan Meimei, don't be angry. When we go back, Jiejie will make you grass cake."
The understanding big sister Jiang Zhu smiled gently, stroking Xiao Lan's head, patiently comforting her.
In Jiang Zhu's opinion...
Ye Qiu's big family would fall apart without her.
Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu, who was hanging on Ye Qiu, and scolded playfully: "Alright, Xiao Wu, quickly let go of the smelly guy and let him come drink soup!"
Dugu Yan smiled at Ye Lingling.
Her action of hugging Ye Qiu had already revealed a lot.
Zhu Zhuqing picked up a bowl and began to help Ning Rongrong, who was in charge of the ladle, portion out another pot of meat soup.
"Husband, come over quickly."
Calling Ye Qiu 'husband' in public still made Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flush.
Under Liu Erlong's pull, Ye Qiu sat down in his seat.
A tyrannosaurus on his left, a cat on his right.
Every movement was soft and gentle, yet brought immense pressure.
An open-air dining table.
Beside them, Er Ming was holding a large pot with one hand, drinking the meat soup Ning Rongrong had specially made for him.
His golden, lantern-like big eyes narrowed.
Ye Lingling saw that Ye Qiu didn't mention his injury proactively.
So she didn't speak either.
Under Ning Rongrong's supervision, Ye Qiu drank the soup she personally brewed, his face flushed, making it impossible for them to tell anything.
However, under the table, someone immediately sought him out.
Liu Erlong, who was beside him, was even more unrestrained, directly taking action in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
Flanked from left and right, with deep affection between hands and feet...
In this besieged situation,
the meat soup immediately took effect.
Ye Qiu's strength surged quite a bit, and the heat was astonishing.
It radiated outwards.
Making even Liu Erlong blush and find it difficult to resist.
Zhu Zhuqing, beside them, dared not look directly.
She would sooner or later be led astray by these shameless women, and Ye Qiu too.
He used to be so pure and honest.
Now he was starting to pursue those tricks in bed; the young man who used to blush when she got a little close had grown up.
At this moment,
Ye Qiu truly had unspoken bitterness.
He was going to see Qian Renxue later, and in this state… wouldn't he severely offend Qian Renxue again?!
No choice...
Time was short, so Ye Qiu could only activate his extreme cold power.
After finishing the soup,
Ye Qiu took all the girls back to Blue Tyrant Academy.
And told them about Dugu Bo.
Dugu Yan didn't think much of it.
After all, she had long wanted to bring her grandfather over to help Ye Qiu.
Liu Erlong also promised.
She would arrange Dugu Bo's treatment as soon as possible.
