The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

Shen Lingxue reminded him again.

"I know, I know."

Jiang Xinghai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed the old saying about "pregnancy brain" was true for Shen Lingxue.

’Has she forgotten how strong I am now?’

Jiang Xinghai thought to himself, ’Perhaps, in Shen Lingxue’s eyes, the Sun Family of the Provincial City really is an untouchable powerhouse.’

But was the Provincial City’s Sun Family really that strong?

In the eyes of an ordinary person, the Sun Family was a colossal force, ranked among the top three of the Eight Great Martial Arts Families. They were indeed very strong.

But was he, Jiang Xinghai, weak?

Perhaps in Shen Lingxue’s eyes, Jiang Xinghai was also strong, but she would never imagine he was strong enough to shake the Sun Family of the Provincial City.

So, Shen Lingxue’s warning wasn’t entirely without reason.

In all his previous fights, Jiang Xinghai had completely crushed his opponents, leaving them with no way to fight back.

Wiping out entire clans was also a common occurrence.

But now, Jiang Xinghai was facing a First-class Martial Arts Family from the Provincial City. Their foundation was far, far stronger than that of the Martial Arts Families in Jizhou or Central State.

Even if Shen Lingxue believed Jiang Xinghai had the power to contend with them, she was still very worried for his safety.

"You have to remember, always leave yourself a way out. Never back yourself into a corner," Shen Lingxue reminded him again.

"Okay, I’ll keep that in mind."

Jiang Xinghai smiled tenderly. "By the way, how are the pregnancy symptoms?"

"They’re okay, I guess. I’m only one month along," Shen Lingxue replied, her tone a little bitter.

She was reminded of the time she had asked Jiang Xinghai to leave his seed with her, a topic she really didn’t want to bring up.

"We’ll be able to hear the heartbeat in three months," Jiang Xinghai said, scratching his head with a smile.

Shen Lingxue suddenly lowered her voice. "Do you... miss me?"

"I do. Of course I miss you." Jiang Xinghai didn’t deny his feelings.

At the same time, he faintly guessed that it was precisely because she was pregnant that Shen Lingxue was so worried about his safety.

’She doesn’t want her child to be born without a father, does she?’

"After three months, I’ll come to the Provincial City to find you," Shen Lingxue said. She had been mulling this over.

"Actually, you don’t have to wait three months. I’m working on a way to get the Shen Family established in the Provincial City. It might only take half a month," Jiang Xinghai said calmly. He had secretly been arranging this plan for a while.

"You really have a plan for that?"

Shen Lingxue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Jiang Xinghai had mentioned this before, but neither she nor her father, Shen Zhengye, had taken him seriously at the time.

She never expected Jiang Xinghai to bring it up again now.

"I don’t joke around much. You know that."

Jiang Xinghai was about to leave the Provincial City, so he couldn’t give Shen Lingxue a definite timeline. He could only wait until his return from Yun Province. "The waters in the Provincial City may be deep, but they’re not deep enough to drown me."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your call," Shen Lingxue agreed.

If she had known that Jiang Xinghai’s plan for the Shen Family to be established in the Provincial City was for them to become a First-class Clan, she definitely would have thought he was insane.

’How could that be possible?’

To become a First-class Martial Arts Clan in the Provincial City, one needed a foundation of at least five hundred years.

Their Shen Family was merely a First-class Martial Arts Clan from a county-level city, and they had only reached that step with Jiang Xinghai’s help.

They had no real foundation. There was simply no comparison.

The two chatted about trivial matters for a while longer before ending the call.

Jiang Xinghai never mentioned that he had already subdued the Yan Family, one of the Eight Great Martial Arts Clans, because he didn’t want Shen Lingxue to become anxious after finding out.

"It feels so good to be cared for."

Jiang Xinghai gazed at the night scenery outside the car window, slowly lit a cigarette, and dialed Feng Lulu’s number.

According to their agreement that morning, Feng Lulu should have contacted him by now to prepare for her acupuncture and massage at the hotel.

"Brother Hai, your line has been busy. Don’t tell me you were chatting up some lucky lady?" Feng Lulu’s voice came through the phone.

Jiang Xinghai didn’t deny it, chuckling, "That’s right, you guessed it. So, what’s your reward?"

"Forget the reward. I’ll be satisfied as long as you give me a good acupuncture and massage session tonight." Feng Lulu looked around and blinked.

Jiang Xinghai got out of the car and waved toward the school gate. "Come out of the gate and turn left. You’ll see me."

Feng Lulu turned her head and, sure enough, saw Jiang Xinghai waving. "Okay, okay, I’m almost there."

After that, the two drove away. Tonight, Feng Lulu had once again styled her beautiful hair into pigtails.

Moreover, she was just wearing a small white tank top, black hot pants, and a pair of white flat shoes, not even wearing any stockings.

Seeing her outfit, Jiang Xinghai couldn’t help but recall the first time he met Feng Lulu.

"Does this outfit look familiar?" Feng Lulu asked from the passenger seat, turning her head and smiling with narrowed eyes.

"Of course it does."

Jiang Xinghai, driving the car, said in a deadpan voice, "Back at the Fresh Sea Water Bathing Beach in Jizhou, you were helping me find that bitch Sophie. You were eating ice cream and accidentally dripped it all over your shorts. I was the one who wiped it off for you."

"Honestly, did you have any dirty thoughts back then?" Feng Lulu asked, pointing to her shorts.
