Chapter 97 - 96: Taking the Lady’s Route

Chapter 97: Chapter 96: Taking the Lady’s Route ... The next morning, Han Ruobing opened her eyes and saw Yan Xiaobao grinning at her, his gaze filled with admiration and infatuation. Han Ruobing blushed and asked, "What are you doing?" "Waiting for Bingbing to wake up so I can help you eliminate those scars." Yan Xiaobao’s eyes began to drift downward to the neckline of her sleepwear. "No need! I’ll just buy some scar removal cream myself." Han Ruobing pushed Yan Xiaobao away forcefully and quickly went to the bathroom to change. "Huh?" Yan Xiaobao followed her dejectedly to the bathroom door, "Bingbing, didn’t we agree yesterday? I can blindfold myself while treating you, and I promise I won’t peek." "I never agreed to that yesterday." Inside the bathroom, Han Ruobing took off her nightdress and looked at the beautiful, jade-like curves reflected in the mirror. Remembering how Yan Xiaobao had boldly kissed the center of them yesterday, her brow furrowed. Women often become emotional in dim and ambiguous nighttime environments. But once daylight breaks, clarity and rationality return, along with their natural wariness. After changing into her patrol officer uniform, Han Ruobing stepped out of the bathroom, once again embodying the Cold Ice Goddess Constable. The psychological defenses she had nearly lost last night were now firmly back in place. Trying to break through them again would be far from easy for Yan Xiaobao. "I’m heading to the Patrol Office to report for duty. You do whatever you need to do." Yan Xiaobao still remembered that Su Xiaowan had something to discuss with him yesterday, so he didn’t pester Han Ruobing. After watching her drive away, he dialed Su Xiaowan. "Xiao Wan, what did you need from me yesterday?" "Did Sister Bingbing’s wound heal already?" Su Xiaowan first inquired about Han Ruobing’s injury. Yan Xiaobao replied, "I personally treated her, so of course. But there are still some scars left, and Bingbing won’t let me continue treating them." "Oh, then it must be in an inconvenient spot, right?" Su Xiaowan’s sharp wit hit the bullseye. "Husband, once Bingbing officially becomes your wife, she’ll definitely let you treat her." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ll make it happen soon." Yan Xiaobao responded before asking again, "So, Xiao Wan, what do you need my help with?" "It’s nothing major." Su Xiaowan chuckled lightly, "It’s just that since you refused to help Tang Wenjun set up the Fengshui Formation, he came to ask me for help." "That brat actually went to you?" Yan Xiaobao was surprised Tang Wenjun had taken the indirect approach. "Tang Wenjun is willing to offer five hundred million. Husband, why won’t you help him?" Su Xiaowan asked. "It’s not that I wouldn’t help, I just wanted Dong Yuqing to become my wife." "Dong Yuqing?" Su Xiaowan wasn’t shocked at all by Yan Xiaobao’s "wandering heart" and laughed, "Husband, you’ve found another suitable candidate for a wife, haven’t you?" Even though Tang Wenjun knew Yan Xiaobao already had wives Xiao Wan, Bingbing, Rourou, and several others, he didn’t dare inform Su Xiaowan about Dong Yuqing’s situation. "That’s right." Yan Xiaobao went on to explain Dong Yuqing and the Fengshui issues at Tang Wenjun’s villa to Su Xiaowan. "Husband, you always like to call someone your wife the moment you meet them for the first time, huh?" Su Xiaowan chuckled, thinking about the amusing stories from their early days together. "What else would I do?" Yan Xiaobao stated confidently, "If I like someone, I like them at first glance. If I don’t, no amount of looking will change my mind. Why should I wait until I’ve seen them a few more times before calling them my wife?" "Husband, you do whatever you want." Su Xiaowan then transitioned to the serious matter, "But Tang Family and our Su Family are old friends. Also, even though Tang Family is one of Jiangnan’s top elite families, expecting Tang Wenjun to put up five hundred million cash is nearly pushing him to his limit. Seeing how sincere he is, Husband, why don’t you help him out?" "Well... Alright, since Xiao Wan has spoken, I’ll reluctantly step in this time." Yan Xiaobao always listened to Su Xiaowan. "Also, Husband, when helping Tang Wenjun set up the Fengshui Formation, take Miss Dong along as your assistant." Su Xiaowan grinned, "I’m confident that once the Fengshui Formation is complete, she won’t be able to escape your grasp." "Setting up the Fengshui Formation is such a hassle. It’ll take forever." Yan Xiaobao thought of Su Xiaowan’s perfect figure, "Xiao Wan, I miss you..." "Husband, I miss you too. Once I finish this busy period, I’ll be able to stay with you every day. For now, just focus on handling those sisters first." Su Xiaowan ended the call with a playful "Muah" kiss as comfort. ... Although Yan Xiaobao promised Su Xiaowan to help Tang Wenjun set up the Fengshui Formation, he didn’t immediately rush to meet Tang Wenjun. Instead, he spent two consecutive nights sleeping beside Han Ruobing, but at that moment, he started missing Rourou. He took a cab to Dexi Hall and saw Zheng Xiaoyu sitting alone in the shop. Yan Xiaobao asked, "Where’s my Rourou?" "Sister Xia Rou has been swamped with work ever since joining the expert team. She came by for a few minutes this morning but rushed off to the hospital in a hurry." "Oh..." Yan Xiaobao sounded a little disappointed and casually asked, "Didn’t see Xiao Chong today either?" "He came and then left again." Zheng Xiaoyu huffed, "He’s a big boss now—super busy!" After pausing for a moment, Zheng Xiaoyu shot an annoyed look at Yan Xiaobao and said, "Did you really let that skinny monkey hang out with Zhao Wenhu and his group? Those guys are just thugs!" "Let them hang out. It’s no big deal." Yan Xiaobao remained unconcerned. "Forget it. I don’t want to bother with you guys." Zheng Xiaoyu grumbled in frustration. At that moment, Tang Wenjun, who had just gotten Su Xiaowan’s reply, called in joy, "Brother Bao, you’re finally willing to help set up the Fengshui Formation. Thank you so much!" "Don’t thank me. I’m just doing it for my Xiao Wan." Yan Xiaobao replied bluntly, "You brat sure are sneaky, going through my Xiao Wan instead." "I... I had no other choice..." Tang Wenjun explained pitifully, "I couldn’t convince Mr. Dong, so I had to go ask Miss Su for help..." Tang Wenjun deeply understood that Yan Xiaobao’s actions revolve entirely around his wives. Without a solution for Yan Xiaobao’s "Wife Qingqing," he had no choice but to ask "Xiao Wan" for assistance. "Brother Bao, where are you? Should I drive over to pick you up?" Tang Wenjun asked anxiously. "What’s the rush? Do you think setting up a Fengshui Formation is that simple? You can’t just throw things together!" Yan Xiaobao responded impatiently. "How can I not be anxious? Brother Bao, you can’t possibly understand my feelings..." Tang Wenjun lamented, "Until the Fengshui problem at home is resolved, I constantly feel like something is going to smash into my head, like a wine bottle or something..." ...
