Chapter 368: Did You Sleep Well Last Night?
"Mu Jianni isn’t back yet, right? So it’s totally normal for me to be second in line."
Lv Que waved a noncommittal hand. "Don’t worry, I’m not the type of woman who would openly steal him away."
"So you’re the type to sabotage people behind their backs?" Li Huanyan was clearly annoyed.
"Hee hee..."
Lv Que suddenly broke into a smile, her lips pursed. Her bewitching eyes curved into crescents, full of sweetness and delight. Her laughter was like wind chimes, crisp and captivating. "Who knows? Maybe I really will."
"You wouldn’t dare," Li Huanyan said, her face flushed with anger.
"Of course I wouldn’t dare. Hehehe. Besides, even if I tried to steal him away, could I really win against you, Li Huanyan?"
As she spoke, Lv Que leaned in, her expression turning serious. "I’m only here to seek an opportunity for my little brother. You don’t need to be so suspicious."
"Your brother... Lv Xiao?" Of course, Li Huanyan knew who Lv Xiao was.
"You know what he’s like. He’s far too effeminate. If this keeps up, the Lv Family will fall into decline." Lv Que took a deep breath.
"Lv Xiao is certainly... effeminate. You want to ask Xinghai to treat him, don’t you?" Li Huanyan finally understood Lv Que’s true intentions.
’She’s willing to offer her own body to save her brother. What a dedicated sister.’
’And me? At first, I only got close to Jiang Xinghai to strengthen the Li Family.’
’But now, ever since Jiang Xinghai awakened her body, things had gotten completely out of hand.’
"What are you looking at so intently?" Lv Que turned her head and glanced at Li Huanyan’s phone.
Lost in thought, Li Huanyan had forgotten to hide her phone screen.
"The Bedroom Technique..." Lv Que murmured. Her cheeks flushed red as she looked at the text and illustrations.
Li Huanyan snapped out of it and quickly put her phone away. "This is a secret of the Li Family! You can’t look!"
"So the legends are true. The Li Family really does possess such an incredible Skill." Lv Que was completely stunned.
’Seeing Li Huanyan studying so diligently just to please Jiang Xinghai, while she herself was just sitting here waiting... wasn’t she being a little too passive?’
"Oh, Huanyan and Sister Que are both here."
Just then, a girl with a ponytail walked up the stairs.
"Jianni’s back."
Li Huanyan and Lv Que stood up at almost the same time to greet her.
’After all, this was the Mu Family’s home.’
"Please, you two don’t have to be so formal. Sit down." Mu Jianni pulled up a stool and sat with them. "Divine Doctor Jiang cured my father’s paralysis, so it’s only right that I come back to repay his kindness."
As she spoke, she looked toward Jiang Xinghai’s bedroom.
Li Huanyan and Lv Que exchanged wry smiles.
In Central State, all three women were part of the upper echelon of society.
Any one of them was a pampered beauty, capable of dazzling any crowd.
Yet here they were, the three of them, waiting outside his door of their own volition, all just to please this one man.
「Time passed.」
The three women, waiting outside his door, eventually leaned against the wall and fell fast asleep.
「The night passed in silence.」
「Early the next morning.」
Jiang Xinghai gave a long stretch as he walked out of his bedroom.
He glanced at the three sleeping women but didn’t say a word, continuing downstairs.
’Last night, he’d been carefully meditating to reach his optimal state, so of course he had overheard the women’s conversation outside his door.’
’Although the thought of taking all three of them had crossed his mind, he ultimately abandoned the idea.’
’There was no need to be a philanderer. No need to hurt women he couldn’t be responsible for.’
’Of course, if the three of them decided to force themselves on him, well, there was nothing he could do about that.’
「Downstairs.」
Mu Huang approached him. "Divine Doctor Jiang, you’re up early. Breakfast isn’t quite ready yet, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a moment."
"I usually go for a morning run, so I’m not in a hurry."
Jiang Xinghai turned and walked out of the living room. He had intended to go out for his run, but when he saw the Mu Family’s spacious back garden, he decided to just run laps there instead.
"Master, this old servant will run with you."
The Butcher, who had been guarding the nearby herb garden, hurried over. "Master, did you sleep well last night?"
"What are you trying to say?" Jiang Xinghai smiled faintly.
"It’s about last night... you know." The Butcher’s weathered face showed some embarrassment.
"I slept alone last night, and it was quite nice," Jiang Xinghai said.
"Slept alone?"
The Butcher stared blankly for a moment. "My granddaughter didn’t go to warm your bed, Master?"
"She came, but I turned her away," Jiang Xinghai said.
"Ah..."
The Butcher’s weathered face flushed. "Could it be... Master is no longer interested in my granddaughter? It’s my fault, I was being thoughtless. Please, rest assured, Master. Tonight, I will..."
"No, you’ve misunderstood."
Jiang Xinghai said seriously, "Last night, in addition to your granddaughter Li Huanyan, Mu Jianni was back, and there was also a woman from the Lv Family—Lv Que, I believe. They were all waiting outside my door."
"Then why didn’t you choose one to warm your bed, Master?" The Butcher was completely baffled.
’After all, Jiang Xinghai was only in his twenties, a man in his prime!’
’Shouldn’t he be indulging in pleasure every night? Wasn’t that perfectly normal?’
The Butcher was a man of experience, and for the life of him, he just couldn’t understand it.
