"That's awesome!" the trio replied simultaneously.

Awesome people approach things differently and walk different paths. That was also the case with Ling Yun.

Ling Yun would be earning money from the rich and would still treat poor people at the same time. None of them had any more doubts and accepted his recommendation unanimously.

The dishes came one after the other. Ling Yun wrapped his arms around Yao Rou's tiny waist and told her, "You have done the most for the clinic, so you have to eat lots today!"

Yao Rou blushed and acknowledged his words demurely.

Tang Meng had not had such good food in a long time. The four of them did not wait for all of the dishes to arrive before digging in. They quickly swept through all the food and emptied all their plates.

After an hour, they were filled to the brim with most of the food gone. Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu settled the bill while hiccuping.

Yao Rou finished her food first. She waited for Ling Yun to put down his chopsticks before gently patting away the oil left on Ling Yun's lips. "How are we going to publicize the business with such a high consultation fee…"

Ling Yun chuckled and kissed Yao Rou's red flushed cheeks while groping one of her perky b.r.e.a.s.t.s. "Rest a.s.sured, we do not need to publicize the clinic. The patients will come by themselves without fail. Don't worry, how am I going to care of you if the consultation fee is not high enough?"

Yao Rou was breathless from Ling Yun's fondling. Her delicate body trembled as her body gave way into Ling Yun's arms, allowing Ling Yun unrestricted access to her. In between her deep breaths, she mustered her strength and said, "I am willing to do anything to be with you!"

Ling Yun beamed. "I like what I'm hearing!"

He removed his hands from Yao Rou's b.r.e.a.s.t.s and said seriously, "Have you gotten all of the medicinal herbs? How much amulet paper did you buy?"

Yao Rou lifted her head and stared into Ling Yun's clear, deep eyes. "I have prepared everything you requested for. There's a whole nylon polybag of amulet paper. Is that enough?"

Ling Yun kissed Yao Rou's cheek again and said happily, "You are really efficient. That's plenty. Give me the keys to the mansion and I will head over in the afternoon."

"Sure!" Yao Rou replied. She straightened her still weak body and pa.s.sed the keys to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun took the keys and told Yao Rou, "It's too inconvenient to have only one set of keys. I will duplicate a set for you."

To be able to get her own set of keys to Mansion Number 1 meant that Yao Rou had earned Ling Yun's trust.

Heart filled with love, Yao Rou nodded once again as Ling Yun said, "When we go off later, don't forget to get me a big iron pot."

Ling Yun's requests were becoming increasingly weirder. Yao Rou could not contain her curiosity and asked, "What do you need that for?"

Ling Yun caressed her sharp nose lightly and smiled knowingly. "I will show you when the time comes."

To make a talisman, Ling Yun needed to boil the medicinal herbs and heat the amulet paper. Since he didn't have a furnace, he could only settle with the iron pot.

"They should have finished settling the bill. Let's go." Ling Yun stood and remembered that he had something more to tell Yao Rou. "Keep a few tens of thousands from the 300,000 I gave you and send the rest to your family. Don't let your elders at home have a difficult time."

Yao Rou was dumbstruck!

Ling Yun was so adamant about the ¥300,000 consultation fee before lunch, but now, he was asking her to send 300,000 home. She was confused: did he actually think money was important or not?

It was normal for a guy to show affection to a girl he liked everyday, but extending his affection to her family was a different matter entirely!

Moreover, this was Ling Yun! Yao Rou knew better than anyone else how busy Ling Yun was.

Yao Rou was moved to tears instantly. Her eyes became red and she choked on her words.

Ling Yun just shrugged, put his arm around her, and said, "Don't think too much. These are all just little things that we can do for our elders to lead a better life. Why not do it if we have the ability?"

This was the "affinity" that Ling Yun had stressed repeatedly. There were so many beautiful girls like Yao Rou, but she seemed to be the only one whom Ling Yun cared so deeply for.

She met him, gave it her all, and got what she wanted and more.

Yao Rou's eyes were red with respect for a long while before suddenly plunging into Ling Yun's arms. She rubbed her face into Ling Yun's broad chest and cried, "You evil man, W-why are you so good to me?"

Ling Yun shook his head and smiled. He nudged her over to the exit of the private room, but Yao Rou stopped, looked at Ling Yun lovingly, and said, "I would even die for you!"

Ling Yun frowned while caressing Yao Rou's beautiful face. "Don't say such things. Don't worry, with me around, you would not even be able to die even if you wanted to. You have to live life comfortably, understand?"

Yao Rou smiled with tears in her eyes. Her face radiated with happiness.

She flew into Ling Yun's arms again and allowed Ling Yun to hug her in any way he wanted as they left the Abalone Palace.

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu had been waiting for them at the exit of Abalone Palace. Tang Meng saw them and asked, "Big Brother Yun, where shall we head to in the afternoon?"

Ling Yun laughed. "Today is the Qing Ming Festival. Don't you have to visit your ancestral graves? Both of you can leave for the day. I'll call you if anything comes up."

Tang Meng nodded, but Tie Xiaohu simply said, "Big Brother Yun, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon."

Ling Yun looked at Tie Xiaohu. "Really?"

Tie Xiaohu nodded, so Ling Yun a.s.signed Tie Xiaohu another task. "Alright then. Go to the clinic in the afternoon and inspect the work. Stay there until Yao Rou leaves."

"No problem!" Tie Xiaohu got into Tang Meng's Hummer and the two of them sped away.

Ling Yun guided Yao Rou to his own Range Rover and asked, "Do you know how to drive?"

Yao Rou shook her head bashfully.

Ling Yun laughed. "That's no good. Get yourself a driving license as soon as you can. I'll gift you a good car when you do."

Ling Yun felt a little guilty that he himself was driving without a license while asking Yao Rou to get one.

Driving along Qingxi road, they found a neighborhood hardware store and bought an iron pot.

"Where are you staying now?" Ling Yun asked Yao Rou when they got into the car again.

"Erm… in a hotel near the clinic since the renovations won't be done for a few more days…" Yao Rou replied in embarra.s.sment.

Ling Yun scowled. He knew instantly that Yao Rou definitely was not staying in a good place. "That will not do. Let me find another place for you!"

Ling Yun drove directly to a nearby four star hotel and paid enough for a half month stay. He turned to Yao Rou suddenly. "How can you treat yourself so poorly when you work so hard? Didn't I give you money? Remember, next time, make sure to eat well and stay in a good place. You cannot treat yourself so poorly. Don't reject my good intentions!"

There was a hint of reproach in his words.

Even if she tried, Yao Rou would not have been able to find someone else who would treat her so well. Although she was reprimanded by Ling Yun, her heart was still filled with a fuzzy happiness sweeter than honey.

"I would really die for you!" Yao Rou whispered silently to herself this time.

"Alright, don't worry about anything else right now. Take a nap in your room until you wake up naturally before going back to the clinic."

Yao Rou bit her lower lip and gave him a flirtatious yet affectionate look, "Aren't you going to come up?"

Previously, it took Yao Rou all of her courage to initiate. This time, it was purely out of love.

Ling Yun understood Ling Yun's intentions perfectly. "It is too noisy in the hotel. Let's wait until the renovations are done in the clinic and continue in our own home."

Yao Rou's face turned into a shade of crimson red as Ling Yun accurately deciphered her intentions.

Ling Yun said, "Alright, go and have a rest. I have something to do so I need to head out now. Call me if you need anything."

Ling Yun then drove away from a reluctant Yao Rou.

He subconsciously glanced towards the southwest corner of the intersection at the clothing store opened by the people from Xiangxi. It was now empty and the store had closed down.

"It took so little to scare them away…?" Ling Yun sneered before heading towards the main entrance to Qingxi Cuiyuan International Garden.

He parked his car below Zhang Ling's apartment and sent Zhang Ling a message. "I'm at your apartment."

"Apartment number 1701. Ring the bell and I will open the door for you." Zhang Ling replied almost instantaneously.

Zhang Ling had never experienced a wait so long and anxious as this one in her nineteen years.

She had been looking forward eagerly to Ling Yun's visit ever since Ling Yun told her last night. While she anxiously waited, the pa.s.sing seconds seemed more like years.

She had been looking out of the window every five minutes since she her parents had left in the morning. She did not think that she would have to wait until two thirty in the afternoon!

She had seen the brand new Range Rover, but she hadn't realize that Ling Yun was the one driving it.

Zhang Ling could not suppress the wild beating in her chest after she received the message from Ling Yun. She responded as fast as she could and immediately opened the gate to her apartment when he entered the unit number on the keypad next to the intercom.

She quickly ran back to her own room and checked her appearance again carefully. Was her make-up too light? Or was it too heavy? Did she wear too much or too little?

The tension in Zhang Ling's heart continued to increase.

"Ding dong…" rang the doorbell.

"Coming!" Her heart skipped a beat and she rushed over to open the door for Ling Yun.
