Romantic Medical Immortal

At this moment, Kong Lingwen was in her own house, where her grandfather Xu Yicheng and grandmother Qin Shuhui were staying.

Seeing that she hadn’t appeared for a long time, the old couple were very happy, buying a lot of good food and busying themselves together in the kitchen.

Kong Lingwen walked over and said with a smile, "Grandfather and grandmother, the three of us can’t eat so much. Just whip up a few dishes."

"How could that be? You rarely come by, we should make several of your favorite dishes, and besides, Xiaochen will be here soon. The young man can eat a lot, don’t let him go hungry."

Xu Yicheng chuckled, eyes smiling.

They knew of Kong Jingshan’s passing but had yet to show up, only comforting Kong Lingwen over the phone.

At this moment, they couldn’t be of much help, trying their best not to disturb her. Seeing her safe now, they felt relieved.

Mentioning Yang Cheng, Kong Lingwen’s face turned a bit sour, and Xu Yicheng, understanding her well, immediately caught that subtle difference.

"What’s wrong? Did you have a fight with him?"

"How did you know?"

Kong Lingwen raised an eyebrow, asking curiously.

"You’ve grown up by our side. You think I can’t tell what’s on your mind?"

Xu Yicheng smiled, then spoke earnestly, "Lin Wen, you girl have such a fiery temper, and Xiaochen is considered a successful man. You can’t be too forceful, or the two of you won’t be able to get along well."

"Look at me and your grandmother; she leads, I follow. We’ve been together for so many years with hardly any arguments."

Hearing this, Kong Lingwen nodded. When she was with Yang Cheng, she knew there were many women around him, but recently she had become particularly sensitive, wanting Yang Cheng to devote himself entirely to her.

She knew this was a bit greedy, as Yang Cheng was never just hers. It was only because of her father’s passing that he felt sympathy and stayed by her side to help her through the hard times.

"Grandfather, I’ve figured it out, don’t worry. I’ll go back after dinner."

Just as Kong Lingwen finished speaking, a rush of knocking came from the door.

"Quickly see if it’s Xiaochen coming."

Xu Yicheng urged.

Kong Lingwen stood up to open the door, and as soon as it was open, she was caught in a firm embrace.

Yang Cheng’s warm and broad embrace tightly held her, his voice somewhat shaky, "Kong Lingwen, you woman, you’re really driving me mad!"

"You disappeared without a word, wouldn’t answer the phone. Do you know how worried I was? I thought someone had kidnapped you!"

He was so angry he could hardly breathe, raising his hand to smack Kong Lingwen’s rounded bottom hard.

With a ’pop’ sound, Kong Lingwen only felt a numbness in her buttocks, discontentedly crying out, "Ouch! Be gentle, it really hurts!"

Not far away, Xu Yicheng and Qin Shuhui watched the scene, the old couple exchanged knowing glances and quietly slipped into the bedroom, pressing their ears against the door to shamelessly listen to the commotion happening outside.

"I have to make it hurt so you’ll remember. I called dozens of times, and you ignored them. Are you suicidal, throwing a tantrum without limits?"

Yang Cheng angrily chided, rare for his usual calm demeanor, now genuinely wanting to pin Kong Lingwen to the ground for a good scolding.

"You called? I didn’t know!"

Kong Lingwen pushed Yang Cheng away, turned away to retrieve her phone, and then awkwardly chuckled, "My phone was on silent, I forgot to turn it on, sorry!"

"Don’t do things you’ll regret, I went insane looking for you. It later occurred to me you might be at your grandfather’s place."

Yang Cheng had just finished speaking when his phone rang.

"Brother Cen, did you find my sister?"

Kong Lingchuan anxiously asked.

"Found her, she’s here eating at her grandfather’s, there’s no danger, go home."

"That’s good, I’m exhausted!"

Kong Lingchuan gasped for breath, clearly also tremendously worried.

After hanging up, Yang Cheng glared at Kong Lingwen, who sheepishly shrank her neck, flashing a conciliatory smile.

"I was wrong okay! I truly forgot about my phone being on silent, I thought you were enjoying yourself at home!"

Her acknowledgment seemed sincere, but the latter comment clearly carried a sarcastic undertone.

"Kong Lingwen, can you not act out next time? If you’re really jealous, you should kick the door open, come in and beat me, you know what might happen if Gong Jian catches you?"

Yang Cheng was sternly scolding.

As of now, the Gong Family is the secret behind the scenes that only the two of them know, and they are under immense pressure, fearing anytime Gong Jian might spring upon them with a fatal blow.

"I won’t do it again, don’t be mad okay!"

Kong Lingwen said sweetly, her little hand tugging on Yang Cheng, giving a gentle sway.

Yang Cheng raised an eyebrow; it was rare to see Kong Lingwen acting so demure, his anger instantly subsiding by half.

"If it happens again, I’ll spank you until you’re black and blue!"

He threatened through gritted teeth.

Kong Lingwen shuddered, knowing Yang Cheng could indeed follow through on such a thing; she’d definitely be tied to the bed for a thorough lesson then, just the thought was daunting.

She hurriedly changed the subject, smiling, "You haven’t eaten yet, right? Grandfather and grandmother are cooking, we’ll eat and then go back, alright?"

Yang Cheng nodded, and Kong Lingwen immediately went and knocked on the bedroom door, signaling to the two inside that they could come out.

The door swung open, Xu Yicheng and Qin Shuhui gave an awkward smile; the sudden knock had startled them a bit, leaving them feeling somewhat guilty.

"Grandfather, grandmother, we’ve made up, hurry and finish cooking, I’m starving."

Kong Lingwen’s tone in front of the two elders was as innocent as a child, utterly pure.

"It’s normal for you youngsters to have disputes, talking it through is good. You chat, and I’ll join your grandfather in the kitchen, it’ll be ready soon."

With that, Qin Shuhui tugged the old man into the kitchen, leaving space for the two to be alone.

"Lin Wen, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

Yang Cheng suddenly spoke.

Kong Lingwen fed him a piece of orange and nodded, "Go ahead."

"I don’t know how many experts the Gong Family might have; to be safe, we need to create the Sun Golden Wheel, but it requires a very rare material. I asked Elder Qin to help find it, and he did find a seller, but the seller wants me to treat his daughter first, and only then he’ll sell the material to me."

Yang Cheng frowned as he explained.

"Then you should go! The Gong Family isn’t easy to deal with. If we’re not absolutely sure, I don’t want you to take the risk."

Kong Lingwen had no hesitation; anything good for Yang Cheng, she fully supported.

"But I’ll have to go to Linzhou, and I don’t know how long it’ll be before I return. If you stay in Zhonghai, I really won’t be at ease."

"It’s okay, I can have Cheng Ruonan protect me."

Kong Lingwen thought that if she couldn’t go, she’d rather not have Cheng Ruonan tag along, lest that vixen clings to Yang Cheng all day.
