The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty Chapter 184: As Long as He's Not Married, There's a Chance

Feng Lulu felt a headache coming on and looked toward Lin Qingyuan.

"Lulu, do you have sothing to say?" Lin Qingyuan asked, his gaze eting hers.

"Grandpa, you've only known Jiang Xinghai for a day, right?" Feng Lulu pouted.

"We only t this afternoon. You were there, too. It hasn't even been a full day," Lin Qingyuan said with a smile as he and Jiang Xinghai both lit cigarettes.

"Exactly! It's been less than half a day, and you've already sold and my aunt out. Seriously... what a shaless old man, hmph..." Feng Lulu pouted, stomping her foot in speechless frustration.

Lin Qingyuan seed to realize sothing. He shot Jiang Xinghai an awkward glance, then said with a straight face, "Liping, co over here and be the judge."

"Father, what are you talking about?" Lin Liping asked, looking up from her phone out of boredom.

"This girl, Lulu, has no respect for her elders. She actually called a shaless old man! You be the judge. Is that any way to talk to her own grandpa?" Lin Qingyuan said, putting on a stern face.

"Well..."

Lin Liping couldn't help but smile, pressing a hand to her forehead. She feigned anger and gave Feng Lulu's ear a gentle tug. "Lulu, I've taught you to respect your elders since you were a child. How could you say that about your grandpa?"

"Auntie, if you knew Grandpa wants this guy Jiang Xinghai to 'discipline' us both, would you still be scolding ? I just called him a shaless old man. Don't you agree?" Feng Lulu asked, putting on a pitiful expression.

"Yes, Lulu's right."

Lin Liping was mortified. 'Dad is really siding with an outsider over his own family.'

Her gaze darted between Lin Qingyuan and Jiang Xinghai, and in the end, she was left speechless.

"Lulu, happy birthday."

Just then, the sisters Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin arrived, carrying a cake box.

When Shen Lingxue saw Feng Lulu holding Jiang Xinghai's arm, her expression flickered with a subtle change.

"Lingxue, Lingyin, you're here."

Only then did Feng Lulu let go of Jiang Xinghai's arm, smiling as she went to greet them.

"Oh, if it isn't Minister Jiang! You ca too," Shen Lingyin said, linking arms with Feng Lulu and chatting intimately, not forgetting to tease Jiang Xinghai.

Jiang Xinghai was taken aback.

'I can understand Shen Lingxue coming to celebrate Feng Lulu's birthday; they've known each other for a while, after all.'

'But I really don't get why Shen Lingyin is here.'

'And from the looks of it, they seem to get along pretty well.'

He couldn't help but feel a headache brewing.

'I had even considered introducing Shen Lingyin and Feng Lulu, since their personalities are so similar.'

'But then I figured putting them together would cause absolute chaos.'

'I was careless.'

Jiang Xinghai gave a faint smile and walked over to Shen Lingxue. "Perfect timing. The private room is still being cleaned."

"Was Lulu in danger earlier?" Shen Lingxue asked. She rembered him getting a call back when he was in her office.

"Her family from the Provincial City showed up, but it's all been taken care of now." Jiang Xinghai briefly explained the gist of what had happened to Shen Lingxue.

Shen Lingxue nodded slightly. "I see. So, in other words, after her birthday tonight, Lulu is leaving for the Provincial City tomorrow."

"Uncle Lin, the room is ready. Please, co in."

Just then, Xiongzi, the owner of the Fragrant Food Pavilion, ca out of the private room. His eyes lit up when he suddenly saw Shen Lingxue. "You're... President Shen?"

"Boss Xiong." Shen Lingxue gave a slight smile.

"It's been almost three years, hasn't it? I rember your father used to bring you and your sister here often. But then I heard he'd fallen gravely ill... I wonder how he's doing now?" Xiongzi had a great deal of respect for Shen Zhengye's character.

"Thanks to him, my father has made a full recovery," Shen Lingxue said, casually linking her arm with Jiang Xinghai's.

"He's a doctor? Your boyfriend?" It suddenly dawned on Boss Xiong.

Shen Lingxue just smiled without saying a word.

Boss Xiong felt it wasn't his place to press the matter. He glanced at Lin Qingyuan and said, "Uncle Lin, please, head on in. I'll have your food served right away."

Lin Qingyuan nodded readily, but his gaze lingered on Shen Lingxue.

'Shen Lingxue, the eldest daughter of the Shen Family. He'd heard of her.'

'She was considered a woman of unparalleled grace among the younger generation in Jizhou.'

'Whether in business acun or personal attributes, she ranked among the top three in Jizhou.'

'As much as he admired her, he also felt a pang of disappointnt.'

Seeing the intimacy between Shen Lingxue and Jiang Xinghai, his gaze swept over Lin Liping and Feng Lulu.

His heart grew heavy.

'Does this an his daughter and granddaughter no longer have a chance?'

'No!'

'As long as they're not married, there's still a chance!'

'He decided he would have to sit Lin Liping and Feng Lulu down later and teach them a thing or two about this.'

'Of course, he wasn't planning anything dirty or underhanded. All he wanted was fair competition.'

'That's right!'

'His estimation of Jiang Xinghai was growing higher and higher.'

'With his excellent dical skills alone, Jiang Xinghai could already look down on the best of his peers.'

'And just a mont ago, he had effortlessly taken down Wind Leopard, a cultivator in the Grandmaster Realm. A man skilled in both dical Martial Arts was an extre rarity.'

'Any family elder with an unmarried daughter would be desperate to get on Jiang Xinghai's good side.'
