"I only know that when receiving a gift, one must give something in return. Now that Mr. Lin has given you a bag of Whitening Pills, you must show some appreciation, right?"

Xiao Qing wasn't about to let Li Xiangmei off easily; she had to make Li Xiangmei pay some kind of "price."

"Show what?"

Li Xiangmei pretended not to know, truly unwilling to act.

"Xiangmei, are you really dumb, or have you cooked yourself silly? I've said it so clearly, yet you still don't get it."

"I really don't get it!"

"I think you're just playing dumb, trying to muddle through!" Xiao Qing revealed Li Xiangmei's true intentions, then used her own tactics against her, saying, "If you won't show something, then I'll show it for you."

"How are you going to show it for me?"

Li Xiangmei was a bit uneasy and curiously inquired.

"Of course, by hugging Mr. Lin and giving him a kiss." Xiao Qing mischievously replied.

"You wouldn't dare!"

Jealousy immediately flared within Li Xiangmei, and she threatened loudly.

"You see if I dare or not!"

Actions speak louder than words, and Xiao Qing immediately strode towards Lin Yifan, seemingly with an urge to kiss him.

Watching this scene, Lin Yifan felt a bit nervous. Could this little girl actually mean it?

And Li Xiangmei was even more nervous than he was, rushing over at once, hugging him, then closing her eyes and pressing her two moist lips against his mouth.

With a "mwah," Lin Yifan felt an indescribable thrill, his whole body trembled as if he'd been electrified.

After kissing Lin Yifan, Li Xiangmei bashfully returned to her position, burying her head in making breakfast.

Touching his slightly wet lips, Lin Yifan's lips curled into a slight smile; he felt sweetness.

Here, it was still Xiao Qing who managed to subdue Li Xiangmei.

He had to repay this favor somehow, so as he passed by Xiao Qing, he took out several bottles of Whitening Pills from the bag, whispered, "Well done, this is your reward."

"Considerate of you."

Xiao Qing accepted them with pride.

Everything she did was for Li Xiangmei and Lin Yifan, so she had to accept this gift.

After Lin Yifan left, Xiao Qing entered the kitchen to help Li Xiangmei while casually asking how Mr. Lin managed to get a bag of Whitening Pills.

Li Xiangmei, still shy, scolded Xiao Qing first, then explained.

Upon learning that this bag of Whitening Pills was airlifted by Lin Yifan, Xiao Qing pushed Li Xiangmei's shoulder with happiness, saying, "Xiangmei, it seems Mr. Lin really cares about you. Whatever you want, he immediately gives to you."

"You wanted it at that time too, so Mr. Lin cares about you too."

Li Xiangmei retorted, unwilling to be teased by Xiao Qing, though her heart was filled with joy.

"I'm different. I'm not in a relationship with Mr. Lin; there's no need for him to care about me like that; I feel all he does is for you." Xiao Qing replied seriously and solemnly.

"I hope so!"

In truth, without Xiao Qing saying so, Li Xiangmei could already feel Lin Yifan's intentions.

This man really knew how to capture a woman's heart; she was already unable to extricate herself.

With breakfast served, the three began to share the meal.

However, Li Xiangmei delayed eating, just to steal a few more glances at Lin Yifan.

Being gazed at affectionately by a beautiful woman made Lin Yifan feel awkward, so he asked, "Miss Li, why aren't you eating breakfast?"

"Not in the mood to eat." Li Xiangmei candidly replied.

"Why?"

"Isn't it obvious? It's because you're leaving." Xiao Qing, with a sour face, scolded Lin Yifan and woke him up.

Lin Yifan gave a wry smile, not expecting this to be the reason, but he felt helpless as well. He couldn't stay here forever, so he responded, "Give me a little time, and I will sort out the matters in Shenzhou Country and return to pick you up."

"I'm not concerned about the time; I care about your heart. As long as your heart is with me, I am willing to wait, until my hair turns gray."

At this moment, Li Xiangmei showed her inner persistence. Once she sets her heart on someone, she wouldn't let go easily.

Lin Yifan's eyes welled up with tears, moved repeatedly. How fortunate was he to have Li Xiangmei's devoted love!

It seemed he was delaying another beautiful woman's youth.

"I have my heart set on you!"

Lin Yifan sincerely and earnestly replied.

Although only a few words, Li Xiangmei could already see Lin Yifan's sincerity.

Her heart filled with joy, she excitedly started eating breakfast.

Seeing Li Xiangmei like this, Lin Yifan fell into deep thought, unsure if his actions were right or wrong.

After breakfast, Lin Yifan took a car to the airport.

Li Xiangmei and Xiao Qing went out to see him off, reluctant to part.

Looking at Li Xiangmei's unwilling eyes, Lin Yifan felt a twinge of pain, then turned back and hugged her.

At this moment, Li Xiangmei burst into tears, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

She held him tightly, not wanting to let go.

Next to them, Xiao Qing became a third wheel once again.

Her emotions were mixed, with feelings of loss, jealousy, sadness, and so on, unsure which was true.

After a long while, the two holding each other finally calmed their sorrowful hearts.

Lin Yifan whispered into Li Xiangmei's ear, "Wait for me, I will return soon."

"Mm! You must return safely to pick me up, understand?"

Li Xiangmei was most worried about Lin Yifan's safety because the enemies he faced were too formidable.

"Understood, I will take care of myself. You also take care, don't wear yourself out." Lin Yifan reversed his advice.

"Mm-hmm!"

Li Xiangmei nodded in response.

Then Lin Yifan walked to Xiao Qing, instructing, "Xiao Qing! I entrust Xiangmei to your care. You must take good care of her, don't let her get bullied."

"Rest assured, Mr. Lin. With me around, no one will bully Xiangmei." Xiao Qing patted her chest, promising confidently.

"With your word, I am relieved."

Lin Yifan felt at ease, then bid farewell to the two women.

Watching Lin Yifan's increasingly distant back, the once-stilled tears in Li Xiangmei's eyes welled up again.

Departures are always sad, unavoidable by anyone.

Hearing the sorrowful cries from behind, Lin Yifan sighed, and then got into the car.

Clinging unwillingly only leads to more pain for everyone, so it's better to end this painful farewell decisively, letting each other feel better.

The car sped away, and Li Xiangmei cried even more sorrowfully.

Xiao Qing kept comforting Li Xiangmei, helping her to calm down.

There are farewells everywhere in the world, but as long as one believes in a future reunion, everything will turn out beautifully; so she only needed to console Li Xiangmei.

Meanwhile, the big figures from the Wudang Sect and Kunlun Sect wanted to capture the parents of Li Xiangmei and Xiao Qing to force Lin Yifan to show up, unaware that Li Xiangmei and Xiao Qing were actually orphans, rendering their sinister plan utterly futile.
