What did he dream about her?
How should he describe it?
After Qi Huan's legs were crippled, his sleep quality had always been poor. However, the night after he met Jiang Youli, he slept exceptionally peacefully.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Youli told him with such certainty that she could cure his legs.
Or perhaps it was because Jiang Youli promised him that she was willing to return to Jing City to marry him.
Qi Huan felt it was the latter.
Because...
Qi Huan said truthfully, "That night, I dreamed that I married you."
Yes.
It was just that clear and obvious. Even in his dreams, he had already decided to marry Jiang Youli.
Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow. After inserting a silver needle, she moved on to the second one and said, "Really? Such a serious dream?"
Qi Huan smiled and said, "How is marrying you serious? Have you forgotten that marriage means consummating the wedding night?"
Jiang Youli burst into laughter. "Oh, right! Then you're too much of a hooligan. You had such an indecent dream about me the very first time we met."
"Well, either way, I'm indecent whenever I run into you," Qi Huan admitted.
Twirling the silver needle between her fingers, Jiang Youli said, "It's fine. I like it when you're not serious."
After the banter, she changed the subject. "The matters with my Jiang family have been resolved today. How are things on your end? Have you tied up Qi Feixue yet?"
Qi Huan said, "I'll tie her up as soon as I get back. Since your matters are all settled, I can't fall behind. You saw it just now; if I don't hurry up, your grandmother and the others won't feel at ease handing you over to me."
Jiang Youli chuckled, though her hands didn't stop their acupuncture work. "Alright, I'll wait to watch the good show on your end after I escort Grandpa Luo back tomorrow."
...
Two hours later, the treatment ended.
"Stay for lunch at my house before you go back," Jiang Youli said as she removed the silver needles from Qi Huan's legs.
Just as Qi Huan was about to say "Okay," his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID; it was Qi Tianxiang.
Jiang Youli didn't disturb him. Instead, she packed up her needle kit, stood up, and turned to the three small snakes coiled up on the bed. "Listen for my whistle later, and you guys will come downstairs to meet someone."
Xiaolv was the first to slither up, tilting its head in confusion.
Xiaohui and Xiaobai also looked at each other.
Qi Huan then answered the phone. "What is it?"
"Xiaoyu is being discharged from the hospital today. You confiscated the house your brother Qi Yue arranged for her last time, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"Don't go too far. No matter what, Xiaoyu is my biological daughter, which makes her your blood-related sister. Xiaoyu has nowhere to live right now. Hurry up and arrange a place for her."
"Let her stay in a hotel, or she can go fight beggars for a spot under the overpass."
"Qi Huan, you..."
Without waiting for Qi Tianxiang to finish, Qi Huan hung up directly.
Jiang Youli put away her needle kit and asked, "Was that your idiot father?"
"Yes. I had someone beat up Qi Yu last time, and she's being discharged today. He wants me to arrange a place for her to stay."
Jiang Youli felt even more like laughing than when she heard Jiang Xing and the others say they "regretted it." "What time is it already? How does your dad still have the nerve to make such a request of you? Huanhuan, seriously, why don't you just go back today and beat your dad into the hospital to get his brain checked?"
Qi Huan put his phone away and chuckled. "I'll consider it."
Jiang Youli said, "No need to consider, just beat him up! He doesn't even treat you like a son, so why should you treat him like a father?"
Qi Huan replied, "If I beat up Qi Tianxiang for no reason, Grandpa will definitely hold me accountable. I need a justifiable cause."
Jiang Youli said, "You're just too bound by these rules and regulations. Having a justifiable cause is easy. Just beat him up when you see him today! If Grandpa Qi asks, just tell him that he stepped through the door with his left foot first today, and according to a fortune teller's hexagram, that will negatively affect the Qi family's financial luck for the next year."
Qi Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes filled with a smile. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Why hadn't he thought of such an amusing excuse?
...
Inside a ward at the city hospital.
After being hung up on, Qi Tianxiang glanced at his daughter, Qi Yu, lying on the hospital bed. Finally making up his mind, he coldly dialed Qi Feixue's number.
At his son's engagement banquet with that wild girl Jiang Youli, after Qi Yue was taken away, Qi Feixue had privately told him to come to her if he needed anything.
Of course, he knew Qi Feixue had bad intentions!
But who told Qi Huan to refuse to give him any face? Not only did Qi Huan restrict his expenses, but he also wanted to abduct Qi Yue, insisting on investigating whether Qi Yue was his biological brother!
This was all forced by Qi Huan!
He dialed the number, and it connected quickly.
"Hello, Uncle?"
...
Jiang Youli and Qi Huan went downstairs. Zhang Susu, who was talking with her family, looked over and smiled. "Nanny Wang just finished making lunch. Xiaohuan, you should eat with us before heading back to the company."
Qi Huan smiled gently. "Alright, then it would be impolite for me to decline."
The eldest uncle of the Zhang family had already walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down. He said, "The heir to the Qi family is indeed different. He speaks so elegantly."
After sitting down, he pulled out the chair next to him. "Come, sit here next to Eldest Uncle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the youngest uncle plopped down into the seat.
Ignoring Eldest Uncle's angry glare, the youngest uncle pulled out the chair next to himself. "Youli, my age is the closest to yours, so there's not much of a generation gap. It's best if you sit next to me."
Jiang Youli burst out laughing.
Eldest Uncle: "..."
Eldest Uncle was unconvinced. "You're the one with a generation gap with Youli! Bringing age into this is going too far!"
The youngest uncle replied, "I'm just being realistic. I'm just afraid you won't be able to change your bad habit of flaunting your seniority to your subordinates at the company!"
Eldest Uncle couldn't take it anymore. "Believe it or not, I'll beat you up just like I used to teach you a lesson when we were kids!"
This time, the second and third uncles had learned to be smart. Seeing that their mother's expression wasn't right, they quietly took their seats without fighting or competing.
Unfortunately, the smartest one was still the fourth uncle.
He pulled out the chair next to Zhang Susu. "Come, Youli, sit here."
The other four uncles: "..."
He managed to show off again!
The fourth uncle waited until Jiang Youli sat down in the seat he arranged next to Zhang Susu before walking over to the empty seat left next to the youngest uncle.
Qi Huan naturally sat down next to Jiang Youli.
The youngest uncle glared at the fourth uncle. "You really are something. You always steal the spotlight in front of Youli."
The fourth uncle said innocently, "I didn't mean to steal the spotlight. I just thought that if you guys made Mom angry again, you'd all get a scolding when you went back. Besides, it's obviously best for Youli to sit with our little sister."
After speaking, he smiled at Jiang Youli and said, "Youli, you just finished treating Eldest Young Master Qi, which must have taken a lot of mental energy. We won't bother you. Let Eldest Young Master Qi serve you more meat so you don't go hungry."
Jiang Youli noticed the fiercely resentful glares from the other four uncles and held back a smile as she nodded. "Okay, Fourth Uncle."
Smiling, Jiang Youli picked up her bowl and beamed at Qi Huan. "Thank you, Hubby."
Thus, Qi Huan naturally began his serving food mission.
Zhang Susu and her husband, Jiang Yehan, looked at each other and smiled.
After lunch, Jiang Youli said to Old Man Luo, "Grandpa Luo, before I send you back, I'll show you a surprise."
With that, she blew a whistle toward the upstairs.
While Old Man Luo was still puzzled, a noise came from the staircase.
Before long, three small snakes of different colors slithered down the stairs.
Having just witnessed the grand spectacle of poisonous bugs and snakes driving away forty bodyguards, the Zhang family was entirely unfazed by the appearance of a mere three little snakes.
"Xiaohui, Xiaobai, Xiaolv, look who this is," Jiang Youli said, pointing at Grandpa Luo.
Xiaolv widened its round eyes, reared its head, and was the first to slither over, circling around the old man's feet.
Xiaohui and Xiaobai looked at Xiaolv with utter disdain: "..."
