Li Ru laughed, "You always make me happy. Sometimes I think, if only I were born ten years later, then I could be with you without any worries."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Sister, don't say things like that. Aren't we together now?"
Li Ru was still a bit down, and said softly, "I was born before you, yet when you were born, I was already old."
Ling Zhenfei knew that even though he said he didn't mind, Li Ru would still have some reservations in her heart. After all, Li Ru was more than ten years older than Ling Zhenfei.
Abroad, this kind of age difference is quite common, but in our country, it's rare. Even if there are such cases, they are often older men with younger women. It's rare for a woman to be more than ten years older than the man.
Li Ru hugged Ling Zhenfei and whispered in his ear, "As long as I'm happy being with you, why should I worry so much?"
The two stayed in bed for a long time before getting up. Today, Ling Zhenfei had plenty to do, and Li Ru was also really busy.
Ling Zhenfei made breakfast for Li Ru, and after eating, Li Ru went to work, telling Ling Zhenfei to be sure to come back tonight. Ling Zhenfei could only agree.
After eating, Ling Zhenfei cleaned up the table, then turned on the computer and browsed the news online.
The news spread very quickly online, and it was well known that Ling Zhenfei had arrived in the Capital City. Someone had even taken a picture of him at International Plaza.
Ling Zhenfei searched for Xi Shan Restaurant online and found all sorts of overwhelming information.
But most of it was introductions to Xi Shan Restaurant, praising what dishes were delicious or the best. Dining at Xi Shan Restaurant had become a fashion trend.
Many people chose Binyang as their winter holiday destination just to eat at Xi Shan Restaurant and enjoy a feast of flavors.
This showed that Xi Shan Restaurant was very renowned, especially online, where the information spread astonishingly fast.
He checked some other news and unexpectedly saw one about Xu Yuyu. Someone had taken a photo of her at the hospital, where she appeared to be in great distress with a large belly.
Someone commented below, saying Xu Yuyu might have had a pregnancy complication and was undergoing emergency treatment in the hospital.
Many onlookers expressed their blessings for Xu Yuyu, hoping she and her child would be safe.
Ling Zhenfei was also a bit worried but didn't dare to call Xu Yuyu, so he could only wait.
After finishing reading the online news, Ling Zhenfei prepared to go out. Today, his goal was to visit Li Yuetong, who was filming in the Capital City.
However, just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Qin Lan. After answering, Qin Lan's voice came from the other side.
"Hi, brother, I found the property you asked me to look for in the Provincial City."
Qin Lan's voice no longer had the domineering aura of a female president, but it was still more capable than other women.
"What kind of property is it?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
"It's a store that our Fengming Group had invested in before. Business wasn't good, so it was self-sustaining, and now it's been taken back by us," Qin Lan said.
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then wait a few days until I return to the Provincial City to discuss it."
Qin Lan said, "Okay, brother."
After that, Ling Zhenfei was about to hang up but heard that Qin Lan seemed eager to say something else.
"Do you have something else to say?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
Qin Lan then said, "Brother, can you give me the Antidote?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Didn't I already give you two months' supply?"
Qin Lan said, "Can't you just cure the Round Moon Revelry poison for me?"
Ling Zhenfei felt a bit angry upon hearing this, "Qin Lan, think about what you've done. Do you have the right to make demands of me? Have you forgotten your current status? Absolutely no sense of propriety."
Qin Lan was frightened because Ling Zhenfei had said before that if he was angry, she wouldn't get next month's antidote. She had experienced the agony of Round Moon Revelry before and didn't want to experience it again.
"Brother, please don't be angry. I was just saying it, even if you cure me of Round Moon Revelry, I'll listen to everything you say."
Ling Zhenfei said coldly, "Qin Lan, if you have any more grievances or demands, you know the consequences."
Qin Lan was horrified and quickly said, "Brother, I get it. From now on, I'll only obey and won't ask or say anything that I shouldn't."
"That's more like it. Don't forget your status. If it weren't for your status, you'd already be dead."
"Yes, brother, I understand."
"That's it, you can hang up now," Ling Zhenfei said.
"Goodbye, brother!" Qin Lan said and hung up the phone.
Qin Lan sat in her spacious office, head lowered, clutching a piece of paper in her hand, crumpled into a ball.
"Ling Zhenfei, you're so cruel, humiliating me like I'm a dog. I won't let you get away with this."
Qin Lan's face was filled with rage, clearly harboring deep hatred towards Ling Zhenfei.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door. After Qin Lan said "come in," someone entered.
The door opened and in walked a man carrying several test reports, which he handed to Qin Lan.
"President Qin, these are the test results, please take a look."
Qin Lan took the test results and looked at them. These were from tests Qin Lan had done at the hospital yesterday, wanting to see what exactly was in her body.
She mainly wanted to find a solution to not be under Ling Zhenfei's control, which was very hard for her to accept.
Ever since she returned, she had been searching for ways to neutralize the Round Moon Revelry she had ingested, but despite trying various methods, she couldn't be sure if they were effective.
So she could only wait until the next Full Moon to find out if the poison in her body was gone, but when she did blood tests at the hospital, nothing showed up.
"Again, nothing. How can it hurt so much if there's nothing?" Qin Lan threw the test reports on the ground in frustration.
"President Qin, you've already been to many major hospitals, and the test results are the same everywhere. It seems like the hospitals genuinely can't find anything. Why don't we try other methods?" the person suggested to Qin Lan.
"What methods?" Qin Lan asked.
The person said, "Why don't we try folk remedies? They say folk remedies can cure major illnesses; maybe they'll work."
Qin Lan nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Go find them quickly."
"Yes, President Qin, I'll go look right away." The person knew Qin Lan was in a bad mood.
Qin Lan glared ahead, as if Ling Zhenfei were standing right in front of her.
"Ling Zhenfei, just you wait. Once I neutralize the poison in my body and no longer need your crappy medicine, I'll make you kneel before me and be my dog."
