Chapter 30: 30: Liu Qiao'er
This guy, who looked utterly broke, definitely had powerful connections.
Otherwise, Pei Yongxian would not have been so obsequious.
As the capital of S Province, Donghai City had an advanced economy and ranked high across the whole of Huaxia. Otherwise, the global financial center wouldn't have been built here.
And Huayang District was one of the most important districts in Donghai City.
How could one become the head of Huayang district branch without a bit of clout?
Yet Pei Yongxian was bowing and scraping to Ye Ling, obviously Ye Ling's connections were streets ahead of his.
Those police officers finally understood that they had taken their beating in vain today. Not to mention the bodily pain, they would have to pay for their own medical expenses.
As for Zhang Ye, he had long since passed out.
...
"Wait a minute!"
After Ye Ling left the police station, suddenly Ning Yushan's voice came from behind.
"What, you want to arrest me again?" Ye Ling said with a smile.
Ning Yushan looked deeply at Ye Ling and said, "You… that..."
"Beauty, just speak your mind," Ye Ling said, tilting his head.
Ning Yushan's face turned a bit red, looking as if she found it difficult to speak.
Initially, Ning Yushan hadn't taken what Ye Ling said about the Menstrual Pill to heart.
But just now, the pain in front of Ning Yushan's body returned, and even her face turned a bit pale, with sweat dripping from her smooth back.
Although it was not as intense as before, thinking of the serious consequences of menstrual disorder frightened Ning Yushan, and she hurried after Ye Ling.
She might as well try the dead horse as a living horse doctor!
Ning Yushan thought to herself.
"Is it hurting again?" Ye Ling suddenly asked.
Taken aback, Ning Yushan asked subconsciously, "How did you know?"
Ye Ling shook his head with a smile, "I can tell by your complexion. Your period's been delayed for at least half a month, right? If I'm not mistaken, today is the third day of your period. Let me tell you, if you keep going like this, tonight you'll definitely suffer unbearable pain."
Originally, Ning Yushan wanted to buy Ye Ling's elixir pills, but what Ye Ling just said reignited her competitive spirit.
She felt that Ye Ling was trying to scare her!
"Who are you trying to scare?"
Ning Yushan huffed, and then said, "Go on, it's nothing."
"Really not giving it a thought? If you buy now, it's 3,000 yuan per pill. If you buy later... it won't be the same price. Plus, if you take the Menstrual Pill now, it'll work immediately. If you suffer tonight, the Menstrual Pill might not even cure you," Ye Ling said.
"3,000 yuan a pill? Who are you trying to fool?"
Ning Yushan glared and waved her hand, "Get going, and never let me see you setting up a stall anywhere else in the future, otherwise, I'll immediately arrest you!"
"Ah, you don't take the handsome guy's advice and suffer for it…"
Ye Ling sighed with the air of someone more mature, shaking his head as he left.
Ning Yushan stood at the entrance of the police station and suddenly felt dizzy, with a severe bout of dry heaving.
But she was really stubborn, knowing that this was caused by a serious menstrual disorder, yet still refusing to buy Ye Ling's Menstrual Pill.
When she returned to the villa, it was about 6 PM.
However, since it was summer, the sky was still bright at 6 PM; it would not be dark until around 7:30 PM.
Liu Qiao'er sat in the first-floor hall with a worried look on her little face, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing Ye Ling return, Liu Qiao'er immediately showed surprise, "You're back?"
Ye Ling smiled slightly, "It's just been a little over an hour, and you miss me this much?"
"Get lost, I was worried about you, after all, you got into all this because of me," Liu Qiao'er said as she circled Ye Ling, "Are you okay?"
"Do I look like I'm hurt?"
"Those cops looked ruthless, I was worried you got beaten up."
Liu Qiao'er pouted, her tender red lips looking as if she had put on lip gloss, utterly tempting.
The setting sun cast its glow inside, stretching Liu Qiao'er's beautiful shadow through the colored light. Her beautiful face shone, her smooth hair completely fell down, making her look like a goddess.
Ye Ling was momentarily stunned by the sight.
"You... stop looking," said Liu Qiao'er, her cheeks blushing.
"Cough cough… you're really too beautiful..."
"Pervert!"
Liu Qiao'er pouted and ran straight to a room on the second floor, slamming the door shut with a bang.
Ye Ling was quietly pleased; he had thought that, in her anger, Liu Qiao'er wouldn't want to stay here anymore.
Looking at the situation, there was still a chance!
"Girl, what would you like to eat? I'll cook today, order whatever you want, there's nothing I can't cook, only what you can't think of!" Ye Ling called up the stairs.
"Blow your own trumpet!" Liu Qiao'er's voice came out.
"Then say it. This handsome guy can do as well in the kitchen as in the bedroom!"
Liu Qiao'er remained unconvinced.
After a while, when Ye Ling was about to go out and casually buy something, he heard the door open upstairs, and Liu Qiao'er's perfect figure appeared.
"Yu Xiang Pork Shreds, Sweet and Sour Carp, Braised Eggplant, Tender Tofu—can you make these?" Liu Qiao'er challenged in a coquettish tone.
These were some of her favorite dishes, but she clearly didn't believe Ye Ling could make them.
"Just you watch!"
Ye Ling laughed heartily and left the villa.
If it were the Ye Ling of the previous world, of course, he would not be able to cook.
But isn't there the internet?
With Ye Ling's eidetic memory, a quick glance was all it took to remember everything perfectly.
Moreover, being an alchemist, he naturally didn't need to say anything about his control over heat.
Watching Ye Ling disappear from sight, a gentle smile appeared on Liu Qiao'er's beautiful face.
Liu Qiao'er suddenly found that she felt only shyness, not anger, at Ye Ling kissing her!
And...
The feeling was really quite nice.
