Chapter 116: Who Can Resist That?

“Don’t go.”

Qi Yihan refused to let go of her, and Tang Li turned to look at him.

He had already taken off his suit jacket. The black shirt inside outlined his full and powerful chest.

This reminded Tang Li of the touch on his chest last night, and her hand started to involuntarily move.

Qi Yihan said to her seriously, “Don’t go. Stay here and watch me swim. If I am drowning, you can save me.”

Tang Li was speechless.

She was almost sure that he was just acting drunk.

If Tang Li did not answer, Qi Yihan would not let go of her. The two of them stood there and stared at each other.

In the end, Tang Li gave in. “Alright, I’ll be by the poolside.”

Qi Yihan then let go of her and continued taking clothes off.

Tang Li could not help but stare at his fingers. Judging by the difficulty with which he undid the buttons, Tang Li was certain that he was actually drunk.

Tang Li finally lost her patience with how slow he undid the buttons. On impulse, she grumbled, “Why are you taking so long? Let me help you undo it.”

With that, she shifted her feet and stood in front of him to remove his hand before quickly unbuttoning his shirt.

Qi Yihan placed his hands by his sides and looked quietly at her slender and fair fingers on his shirt, lost in thought.

Tang Li quickly finished unbuttoning his shirt. Only then did she look up and say to him, “Alright, you are good to jump in the pool.”

Qi Yihan still didn’t move and said very naturally, “Help me take it off.”

Tang Li gulped and said calmly, “Open your hand.”

Qi Yihan followed her order.

Tang Li helped him take off his shirt.

In an instant, his bronze chest was revealed.

When she realized what she was doing, her hand was on his chest.

Her face instantly turned red. She looked into the man’s deep eyes and said, “I’m just checking to see if your body is hot. If it’s too hot, it’s probably not a good idea to swim right now.”

Qi Yihan nodded. Just as she was about to retract her hand, he grabbed it and put it back on his chest.

“Your hand is cold. I like it. Just leave it here.”

Tang Li was speechless, thinking to herself, “Well, you ask for it.”

After she was satisfied, Tang Li withdrew her hand and gestured at him. “You can continue taking off.”

Qi Yihan looked at her with an even deeper gaze.

Tang Li’s mind went blank and she almost lost control of her emotions. However, at the last moment, she regained her senses and quickly said, “I’m not gonna help you take off your pants!”

She turned around and said, “I’ll get you a towel.”

Qi Yihan looked at her reddened ears and smiled.

After Tang Li took a few steps, a splash could be heard coming from behind her.

She turned around and saw that Qi Yihan had already jumped into the pool and started swimming.

Tang Li raised her hand to rub her rapidly beating chest and mumbled, “I wonder who in the world can resist that.”

When Tang Li walked out of the backyard and into the living room, she saw Butler Yang standing by the door with a walking stick.

When Butler Yang saw Tang Li coming out, he quickly said to her, “Madam, the hangover soup and supper are ready. I’ll put them on the dining table. Also… If Master falls asleep, you can call me. I’ve already put the towel on the sofa.”

Tang Li tilted her head to look at the towel on the sofa. She walked over and picked it up before asking Butler Yang, “How’s your leg now?”

“Thank you for your concern, Madam. I’m fine now.”

“Come over and I’ll help you take a look.”

“This… Thank you, Madam.”

Butler Yang heard from the doctor in the hospital that if not for someone helping him stop the bleeding, he would’ve been dead before reaching the hospital.

In addition to what Butler Zhang had been frequently reporting to him about Tang Li these days, Butler Yang was very confident in Tang Li’s medical skills.

Tang Li waited for Butler Yang to walk over before pointing at the sofa. “Sit down.”

Butler Yang placed his walking stick at the side and sat down on the sofa.

“Let me see your wound.”

“Um…”

Although he was wearing loose pants, the injury was on an awkward spot, so he must take it off to show it. Butler Yang was a little hesitant.

Tang Li frowned. “Do you think I can tell how your wound looks through your pants? If you want to get rid of the crutch quickly, show me your wound. I am very busy!”

Butler Yang immediately felt that it was not a big deal. He was a patient, and Madam was a doctor. It was only right for doctors to examine patients.

He untied her pants and pulled them down to her knees.

His wound was still wrapped in bandages. Tang Li removed the bandages and glanced at it before saying, “The medicine you applied won’t do. I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow and send you some medicine. I guarantee that if you use it, you’ll be fine in three days.”

Butler Yang was surprised and delighted. He quickly said respectfully, “Thank you, Madam.”

Tang Li nodded. She took the towel, went to the dining table, and picked up the hangover soup before walking back.

Butler Yang looked at Tang Li’s back and sighed, thinking to himself, “She has indeed changed.”

When Tang Li returned to the backyard, Qi Yihan was still swimming. She sat on the wooden chair and watched him swim.

Qi Yihan’s swimming posture was very standard. Watching him swim was simply a form of enjoyment.

…

On the other side, after Qi Lingxuan separated from the trucks, with the help of the Artifact Spirit, he found many good items in this mountainous area, which improved his ability considerably.

He thought that since he was out, he might as well go back to the place where he grew up and take a look. When he went back, he found that the granny who adopted him and brought him up was killed by someone. Instantly, his heart was torn apart, and hatred started to encroach upon him.

After kneeling in front of granny’s grave for a day and night, he swore that he would definitely kill the enemy with his bare hands, and then he set out on the road back to Imperial Capital.

After returning to Imperial Capital, he didn’t contact anyone. Instead, he snuck into the Qi Mansion, put on his mask, and showed up in front of First Madam’s bed, covered in blood.

First Madam was badly injured and was still in the ward of the Qi Mansion. In the middle of the night, while she was sleeping, she suddenly felt cold. She opened her eyes to look for an extra carpet, but the moment she opened her eyes, her pupils contracted and she stopped breathing.

“Whoa!”

Above her, a familiar face that was covered in blood, was smiling at her.

First Madam opened her mouth to scream, but then she realized that her throat was blocked by something and she couldn’t make a sound.

At that moment, the ghost reached out his hands and strangled her neck. His deep voice that sounded like it came from hell echoed in her ears, “Zhang Huilan, I’ve come to take your life.”

First Madam rolled her eyes and fainted.

Looking at this easily frightened old woman, Qi Lingxuan threw her aside in disdain, took out a dagger, and stabbed it at her.

Then, he took out a packet of powder and scattered it on her wound.

After doing all that, he left the room. His next target was the Zhang family.

However, just as he walked out into the corridor, he bumped into a nurse.

The young nurse widened her eyes in fear and then she screamed in shock.

“Ahhh… Ghost…”
