Ling Zhenfei was a bit startled when he walked in. He had thought that it was quite late and Liu Bingying would already be asleep, but to his surprise, she wasn't in bed. Instead, she was sleeping on the sofa in the living room. The TV was still on, suggesting she had fallen asleep while watching it.
As Ling Zhenfei walked over, Liu Bingying woke up. She must not have been in a deep sleep because she seed to sense that it was Ling Zhenfei who picked her up. She opened her eyes and sneaked a peek.
Ling Zhenfei's heart skipped a beat, but he still carried her to Xiao Ke's room. Just then, Liu Bingying suddenly whispered into his ear, "You're going the wrong way. I want to sleep with you."
Without another word spoken, it was already the next morning. Ling Zhenfei had been cultivating inside the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow the entire night. The treatnt for Wen Jing and Liu Yunrui had consud a huge amount of his spiritual power. After a night of cultivation, he had replenished what he had lost yesterday.
Liu Bingying had already prepared breakfast. Perhaps thanks to the nourishnt from a man, Liu Bingying now looked even more radiant, better than any beauty product could achieve.
"What are you looking at, dummy? Co and eat." Liu Bingying suddenly felt a bit shy when she saw the fiery look in Ling Zhenfei's eyes.
Xiao Ke turned to look at Liu Bingying with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mom, why did you call Uncle a dummy?"
Liu Bingying was taken aback. She realized she had misspoken. How could she say such things in front of Xiao Ke? She hurriedly explained, "Nothing, Xiao Ke. Mom was just flustered and slipped up."
"Uncle, please don't bla Mom. She's been acting strange these past couple of days." Xiao Ke offered an explanation to Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei felt even more uneasy. If Xiao Ke found out about what he had done with her mother, who knows what she would think. Therefore, he couldn't let Xiao Ke know.
"Got it, sister. Don't call nas in front of Xiao Ke again."
"I understand, it was my mistake." Liu Bingying rolled her eyes at him, clearly indicating he was taking advantage of the situation yet pretending to be innocent.
After breakfast, Ling Zhenfei headed to the Earthquake Bar on Taiping Street. Boss Liu was delighted to report the progress of the treatnt when he saw Ling Zhenfei.
Wen Jing and Little Yunrui had shown significant improvent after yesterday's treatnt. Although their bodies were still stiff, they could now feel sensations. It wouldn't be long before they fully recovered.
This result was within Ling Zhenfei's expectations. He had expended so much spiritual power yesterday that if there were no effect, it would really be pointless to go on living.
After personally checking on Wen Jing and Yunrui, the situation was as Liu Benchang had said. After administering another round of acupuncture to both of them, the treatnt was completely finished. They just needed to soak in dicinal herbs, and it wouldn't be long before they were fully recovered.
After instructing Liu Benchang on the necessary precautions, Liu Benchang expressed his deep gratitude and told Ling Zhenfei that all the contracts were ready and they could transfer ownership today.
Liu Benchang seed quite eager. With nothing else to do, Ling Zhenfei went with Liu Benchang to transfer the bar into his na.
Ling Zhenfei drafted a formal contract and then paid Liu Benchang 1.5 million. After this paynt, there wasn't much left in Ling Zhenfei's bank account, but owning the bar promised future earnings.
Everything was settled by the afternoon when Jiang Hao called saying he had arrived on Taiping Street.
After eting Jiang Hao, Ling Zhenfei brought him into the Earthquake Bar. From now on, Jiang Hao was to be the bar's manager, responsible for all its operations. Jiang Hao was quite familiar with the bar business, requiring no further instructions from Ling Zhenfei.
In the evening, Ling Zhenfei received a call from his sister-in-law Zhou Yun.
"Zhenfei, why haven't you co back for so many days? Is sothing wrong?"
"Don't worry, sis. Things are almost settled here. I'll co back in a couple of days. How are things at the manor? Has anything happened?" Ling Zhenfei sensed that Zhou Yun's emotions were a bit off as she spoke.
"Nothing serious, I'm just a bit worried about you. The manor is doing well. The burned greenhouse has been completely repaired. Should we start planting and selling vegetables again? Several clients have called wanting our produce. I thought continuing to delay isn't good, so I called to ask you."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont. Master Nangong's words from the previous night were spot on. Restoring Xishan Manor's reputation was simple; it just required a newspaper report. Tomorrow, he planned to visit the Qiu Family, and it seed there would be no problem.
"Go ahead and plant. This ti, be sure to guard against any foul play."
"Don't worry, Zhenfei. We've built a wall around the courtyard and are taking turns on night watch. The sa thing won't happen again." Zhou Yun sounded very pleased.
"Don't overexert yourself, sis. Hire more people if we're short-handed. Don't worry about the money; you'll never run out in the future."
"I got it. I'm not overworking; just a bit concerned about you."
After hanging up, Ling Zhenfei called Qiu Qian to inform her that he would be going to treat Qiu Qing tomorrow morning. Qiu Qian was overjoyed.
Qiu Qian had thought that Ling Zhenfei was angry and wouldn't treat her father anymore. Now, she was thrilled to hear that he would co to treat her father tomorrow morning.
Returning to Liu Bingying's ho that evening, he told her he would be going ho for a few days. Liu Bingying didn't say much but seed reluctant, which Ling Zhenfei could understand.
The next morning, Ling Zhenfei went to the Qiu Family. Qiu Qian was already waiting at the entrance, dressed in tight sportswear with a ponytail, looking full of youthful energy, as if she had just finished exercising.
Qiu Qian was a natural beauty. Seeing her for the first ti, Ling Zhenfei felt as if he was looking at a movie star. She might really beco one in the future.
"Divine Doctor Brother, you're here."
Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, Qiu Qian rushed over and gave him a big hug, making him feel a bit awkward.
Ling Zhenfei inquired about Qiu Qing's condition. Qiu Qing now had so sensation in his legs but still couldn't move them.
Ling Zhenfei had anticipated this. During the last treatnt, they were close to enabling slight movent in Qiu Qing's legs, but due to certain events, the treatnt wasn't completed. His aim today was to finish what he had started.
The Qiu Family clearly had been inford. Qiu Qian must have arranged everything beforehand. They prepared all the necessary treatnt supplies and even had breakfast ready for Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei had no ti for breakfast, not being hungry anyway, so he directly entered Qiu Qing's room to prepare for the treatnt.
Qiu Qian's mother, He Yun, was by Qiu Qing's side. He Yun always struck Ling Zhenfei as very mysterious, even a bit strange. She appeared very graceful, but wasn't particularly warm towards him.
Considering Qiu Qing was her husband and Ling Zhenfei was there to treat him, potentially curing years of paralysis, one would expect deep gratitude from her. However, He Yun didn't show much emotion at all, seeming rather too composed.
