Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 151: Letting Go

Upon hearing Sun Zhe’s words, Ye Qiao looked shocked and incredulous.

"What did you say, bro?"

"Did I mishear you... Mom’s seeing another man?"

Sun Zhe nodded. "No, you heard me right."

He felt a little better, now that he had someone to confide in.

Ye Qiao stared at him suspiciously. "Really? Why do I find that so hard to believe?"

Ye Qiao knew Zhu Yan well, so she couldn’t imagine her finding another man.

"It’s true. I’m not lying to you."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

Hearing this, Ye Qiao suddenly fell silent.

After a long moment, she looked at Sun Zhe and asked, "So, you’re in a bad mood today because of Mom?"

Sun Zhe sighed and said nothing.

Ye Qiao asked, "So where did you see her with a man?"

Then, Sun Zhe told Ye Qiao everything that had happened at the KTV the previous night, as well as finding the man’s watch in the car that morning. He didn’t even leave out the detail about the discarded pair of stockings.

After hearing it all, Ye Qiao was overcome with anger and found it difficult to accept.

"This is outrageous! That was the car you bought, but she was getting intimate with another man in it and didn’t even bother to clean up the stockings she’d taken off..."

"It’s infuriating!"

"But I still can’t quite believe it... or maybe I just can’t accept it."

"If Mom really wanted to find another man, she would have done it after Sun Wei fled from his debts. Why wait until now?"

Sun Zhe said, "I don’t want to believe it either, but seeing is believing."

"That’s true."

Ye Qiao nodded and began to analyze the situation. "Maybe it’s because life at home has improved. She’s financially free and no longer worries about debt every day. Plus, she’s working at a big company, mingling with socialites and wealthy people... Perhaps that’s what changed her."

Sun Zhe mused, "That man must be very rich. The watch he left in the car is a limited-edition custom model worth over two million."

At this, Ye Qiao’s lovely brows furrowed. "But that doesn’t make sense... Even if she wanted someone rich, aren’t you rich?"

"You’ve got tens of millions to your name and live in one of the best mansions in Yang City. How many people can compare to you?"

"And when it comes to looks and performance in bed, very few men can match you, either."

Sun Zhe gave her a strange look. "You didn’t really have to say that last part."

Ye Qiao replied earnestly, "We’re analyzing the situation."

She continued, "For a woman, a man can win her over with either his wealth and status, or his... skills in that department."

"In short, a man has to satisfy a woman either materially or physically. One of the two is a must."

"But with your resources and skills, what woman would still think about other men after sleeping with you? She’d be dying to drain you dry every day."

Sun Zhe said, "I saw him last night. The man was tall and handsome."

Ye Qiao asked, "But is he big? Does he last long?"

Sun Zhe’s face darkened. "How would I know that?"

Ye Qiao leaned in and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Alright... what’s done is done. There’s nothing we can do."

"But in my, Ye Qiao’s, eyes, no man in this world can compare to you. Those effeminate guys can’t even hold a candle to you!"

Sun Zhe chuckled. "You don’t have to comfort me like that."

Ye Qiao hugged his waist. "It’s not comfort; I’m telling the truth."

"Bro, don’t think I’m some naive girl just because I’m a student who hasn’t been out in the real world yet. I actually understand a lot of things."

Sun Zhe reached out and rubbed her head. "I’ve never thought of you as a little girl."

Ye Qiao gently pursed her lips and suddenly said, "But at the end of the day, you and Mom can’t go on like this forever."

"Bro, let me ask you one question... What can you give my mom?"

"Besides sleeping with her to satisfy your so-called cultivation, can you give her formal status?"

"What if Sun Wei comes back one day? How would you two even interact?"

"I..."

Sun Zhe was at a loss for words. Ye Qiao’s questions had truly stumped him.

Ye Qiao said seriously, "These are issues you can’t run away from. So why not just let go?"

"If Mom really likes that man and wants to be with him, we should give them our blessing."

"You feel hurt and betrayed... you feel like she cheated on you. Ultimately, that’s just a man’s selfish possessiveness acting up."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe slowly tilted his head back and let out a long sigh. After listening to Ye Qiao’s words, he suddenly felt a sense of release.

"Qiaoqiao, maybe you’re right. It really is my possessiveness making trouble."

Ye Qiao’s tone shifted. "Blessings are one thing, but we still need to find out who this man is, whether he’s trustworthy, and what his character is like."

"If they’re both sincere, that’s fine, but I’m just afraid Mom will be scammed for her money and her heart."

Sun Zhe nodded. "You’re right. We definitely need to get to the bottom of this."

Ye Qiao said, "Don’t worry, I’ll start tailing her. We’ll unmask that man!"

"Okay."

"So, are you feeling any better now?"

"Yeah."

"I haven’t had any of your stinky milk yet, bro... I want to go another round."

"Can you handle it?"

"Don’t underestimate me. It’s the ox that gets tired, not the field."

"..."

「As evening fell.」

After work, Sun Zhe and Ye Qiao returned home together, but Zhu Yan was nowhere to be found.

The huge villa was silent, devoid of the warmth of a lived-in home.

Ye Qiao glanced at Sun Zhe. "What’s going on? Didn’t she say she’d cook something nice for us tonight? Where is she?"

Sun Zhe smiled faintly. "Forget it. Let’s just order takeout. I’m going upstairs to take a shower first."

"Order takeout? How boring. You just wait. I’ll show you my skills tonight."

Sun Zhe glanced at her. "You can cook?"

"Of course. Don’t underestimate me. I’m not some spoiled little princess. Cooking is nothing."

"Bro, you wait here! If Mom won’t cook for you, then I will!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe felt a warmth spread through his heart. "Alright, you get started then. I’ll be down to help after my shower."

"Go on, go on."

Ye Qiao tied up her hair and put on an apron. "I’ll whip you up some braised pork!"

CLICK.

Just then, the door to the other bathroom opened, and a graceful figure stepped out.

The siblings turned their heads in unison, both of them stunned.

"Shiyan?"

"What are you doing in my house?"

Li Shiyan yawned lazily and said, "You guys are a pain. I can’t even use the bathroom in peace."

Ye Qiao’s cheeks puffed out. "I’m talking to you! Why are you in my house, you little skank?"

Li Shiyan rolled her eyes. "Is there a problem with me being at my boyfriend’s house? Besides, is that any way to talk to your sister-in-law?"

Ye Qiao was instantly enraged. "Who’s your sister-in-law? Could you be any more shameless?"

Li Shiyan immediately turned to Sun Zhe. "Your brother already promised me last time in the dorm."

Sun Zhe rubbed his nose. "When did I promise you that?"

Ye Qiao suddenly pointed at Li Shiyan. "Believe it or not, I’ll get my brother to fuck you until you’re crying and shaking!"

Li Shiyan’s face flushed. "You have no manners! I’m your sister-in-law!"

Sun Zhe had a pained expression. "Alright, alright, you two stop arguing for a second. Shiyan, when did you get here?"

"I got here around three o’clock."

Ye Qiao asked, "Did you see my mom?"

"Of course I did. How else would I have gotten in? But she said she had something important to do tonight and had to go out. I think she was going to attend some banquet."

"Oh, right! Someone came to pick her up in a sports car. A limited-edition Lamborghini, the kind of car money can’t buy. It was so cool!"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe and Ye Qiao exchanged a look.

Ye Qiao asked, "What kind of banquet was she going to?"

"How would I know? Was I supposed to follow her and ask? Anyway, weren’t you two going to cook? I’m hungry, so hurry up."

Ye Qiao’s face darkened. "You really think this is your house? If you want to eat, come and help."

"Oh..."

"..."
