After a round of verbal sparring,

Li Qing and Qin Wenjun finally reached a peaceful agreement.

Qin Wenjun would not arbitrarily cause trouble for Li Qing, and Li Qing, in return, wouldn’t blab about what happened that day.

Afterward, Li Qing drove Qin Wenjun back to the village.

Even though the woman was dressed to kill today, stirring Li Qing’s heart with the fragrance wafting from her as she sat beside him, he managed to keep his composure, not even stealing a second glance.

Having dropped off Qin Wenjun at the village office, Li Qing chatted briefly with Wu Xingxing at the convenience store, where they exchanged some sweet nothings before heading home.

He hadn’t slept well the previous night and needed to catch up on some sleep.

He slept soundly until well into the afternoon when Wu Xingxing pulled him out from under the covers.

"Get up, it’s time to eat!"

"Your daily rhythm is all out of whack, turning into a night owl, running around at night and sleeping during the day. Can’t you do those things during daylight hours?"

Li Qing wrapped his arms around Wu Xingxing’s slender waist and dragged her under the covers with him. His hand smoothly slipped under her garments, grasping the full, soft elasticity beneath.

"Who does that kind of stuff during broad daylight? Sure, it can be done, but it’s definitely better at night. Easier to find and quieter, less likely to disturb others," Li Qing said.

Blushing, Wu Xingxing quickly pushed Li Qing away, "Stop it, your sister-in-law has already set the table."

"Let me play a little longer." Li Qing muttered.

Wu Xingxing looked at him helplessly but felt a surge of joy within.

Having Li Qing like her figure made her very happy.

Looking at his sister-in-law Tian Yue’e, with their figures, she felt a constant pressure.

His sister-in-law and Tian Yue’e, now they had the figures of real women, whereas she seemed more like a child in comparison.

Though she had curves at the front and back and a slender waist, they were far from being described as ’voluptuous’.

At best, she was just about adequate.

After fooling around for a bit, Li Qing finally let go of Wu Xingxing and got out of bed.

Han Mei’s meal was already on the table.

After lunch, Li Qing planned to take another nap to rest and recuperate, so he could visit that old apricot tree on the river beach later in the evening.

But just as he lay down, Han Mei walked into the room and locked the door behind her.

Seeing her actions, the fire in Li Qing’s heart and the heat in his blood instantly surged and boiled.

Without hesitation, he stripped off his clothes, shedding all his encumbering armor clean.

But when Han Mei turned around and saw Li Qing naked to the waist under the covers, she couldn’t help but freeze, "What are you doing?"

"Sleeping!" Li Qing laughed, "Sleeping with my sister-in-law, that is!"

"It’s the middle of the day, don’t be foolish. I’m here to talk to you about something serious," Han Mei said, somewhat exasperated.

"Sister-in-law, it’s fine, we can talk while doing it. This time, I’m confident I can hold out until I conquer you, until you’re moaning and groaning non-stop," Li Qing said with a mischievous grin.

Having had these encounters more than once or twice, Li Qing no longer held any inhibitions when he spoke.

Han Mei immediately blushed, her shyness spreading from the corners of her eyes like a spring tide.

"Stop fooling around, I really came to talk to you about something important. I know you’ve taken that Elixir, and now you’re quite formidable, but even so, it’s not certain," Han Mei murmured shyly, "You know how special my constitution is by now."

"Then we definitely have to try it out!" Li Qing threw off the blankets and patted the spot next to him, signaling Han Mei to hurry over.

Speechless, Han Mei glared at Li Qing and sat down beside him, "Don’t move around, I have something to ask you."

Li Qing saw the rare seriousness on Han Mei’s face and obediently just held her soft waist, "Sister-in-law, go ahead."

"Did you... really go on your mission last night?" Han Mei asked softly.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Li Qing’s heart.

"Yeah, would I lie to you about that?"

"Where did you sleep last night then?" Han Mei gently bit her lip and asked.

Li Qing’s brows immediately furrowed.

This question from sister-in-law is really suspicious!

"I didn’t close my eyes all night last night, haven’t even fully woken up from a nap this morning," Li Qing asked, "Sister-in-law, did that Qin Wenjun say something to you? I knew it, she definitely had to pin something on me!"

With Han Mei’s odd behavior, coupled with the questions she asked.

Li Qing instantly thought of Qin Wenjun!

If it hadn’t been for her talking behind his back, why else would sister-in-law ask these questions?

"She... She didn’t tell me anything," Han Mei said with some difficulty, "I just heard some things."

"Qingzi, you already have so many women around you now, aren’t you satisfied?"

Although Han Mei tried to hide it, Li Qing could immediately read between the lines.

It was definitely Qin Wenjun’s doing.

Of course, it’s not a matter of being satisfied or not, he was purely enticed by the fun of it.

"Sister-in-law, you know that the boss of Lü Family Restaurant is Lü Zong. Whether it was back when I was doing Wenguan Leaves or now handling construction projects, I’ve always been in partnership with Lü Zong," Li Qing explained with a helpless face.

"You could say that when I was getting nowhere, he and Gong Brother both helped me a lot. Now I’m busy with other things, and actually, Lü Zong is the one taking care of the construction site. I’m not the kind of person to be ungrateful, so I went over this morning to give them two Solidifying Spirit Elixirs."

"The boss of Lü Family Restaurant is Lü Zong? The same person who owns Impression Hotel?" Han Mei asked in surprise.

Li Qing nodded, "His business ventures are quite complex, basically, he does anything that makes money."

"When I went out this morning, I happened to run into Qin Wenjun. Sure enough, I heard that woman spouting sarcasm," Li Qing said.

Han Mei immediately felt a bit embarrassed, it looked like she really had misunderstood Li Qing.

After a pause, she asked softly, "So is it true that Lü Zong’s Lü Family Restaurant is shady?"

"Didn’t I just say that he does anything that makes money? There’s a dance hall above and it’s all about hugging and touching, that kind of stuff," Li Qing said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, do you think I would need to look for that kind of woman? To hug, hold, and touch, I can do that right now, see?"

With those words, he reached out with his already restless palm toward Han Mei.

As he skillfully grasped that heavy fullness, he spoke casually, "But now, Lü Zong’s place isn’t that important anymore. He’s got more profitable business, so he might close down that spot anytime."

Han Mei seemed to feel that she had wronged Li Qing and felt a bit apologetic. She squirmed but didn’t refuse.

As Li Qing kneaded the heavy fullness into roundness and then flattened it, he calculated in his mind how to settle this score with Qin Wenjun.

This feud had now been thoroughly established.

That damn old woman, no sense of righteousness at all!
