"Su Li, since Old Seven and the others have already set off for Japan to attend the auction, you should head back first. If you need anything, remember to contact me." At her side came Feng Huaimu’s light, easy laugh. As soon as Su Li thought of the information Feng Ciye had revealed to her before, she couldn’t help feeling a faint sense of estrangement toward Feng Huaimu.
But she still smiled and nodded, letting Xiao Heng support her as they walked toward the exit of the airport.
"Thank you for your concern, big brother. In a few days, when I’m free, I’ll go visit Haohao."
Feng Huaimu clasped his hands behind his back and smiled, only nodding without replying. He stood at the airport entrance, watching Su Li get into the car and leave with Xiao Heng and the others.
Sitting in the back seat, Su Li rested her hands on her knees and couldn’t help saying to Xiao Heng in the front, "Xiao Heng, why do I feel like this whole thing isn’t that simple?"
The moment Xiao Heng heard that, every hair on his body stood on end. Shit, are women’s sixth senses really this terrifying? Su Li didn’t have a shred of evidence and the first thing out of her mouth was that it’s not that simple?
Xiao Heng hurriedly said, "What’s not simple about it? I—Isn’t it just that Brother Qi went to Japan for the auction to buy medicine? You’re probably just not used to being separated from Brother Qi for so long and are overthinking it. I heard pregnant women are prone to overthinking."
Su Li raised a hand to rub her head, falling into deep doubt.
Is that so?
There was a faint uneasiness in her heart. She couldn’t tell whether it was her sixth sense, or because her eyes had gone bad and she had no sense of security about anything anymore.
All she could do was hope that Feng Huaijin would have a smooth trip in Japan.
Seeing that Su Li wasn’t pressing the issue, Xiao Heng finally let out a sigh of relief.
His mouth leaked like a sieve; if Su Li kept asking and he slipped up for even a second, he’d be done for.
The one who’d gone to Japan for the auction wasn’t their Brother Qi at all, but the Fourth Young Master!
Most likely, by now, Brother Qi had already checked into one of his own hotels.
Cursing inwardly, Xiao Heng drove Su Li home, and even very considerately helped her out of the car and walked her inside.
"Miss Su Li, Miss Mu Qingmei has been here for quite a while. She’s in the living room having tea," the butler, who had been waiting at the villa door for some time, said when he saw Su Li come back.
Su Li was a little surprised. Smiling as she walked in, she said, "You’ve been making quite a splash with all that gossip about you and my senior brother lately. How do you still have the leisure and mood to come here?"
Su Li was helped to sit down.
Mu Qingmei brushed a lock of hair back behind her ear and smiled. "You’re teasing me too? I only heard that a second senior brother of yours, who’s basically a medical prodigy, is staying here and wanted to come have him feel my pulse or something."
Hearing that, Su Li instantly grew a bit worried and hurriedly asked, "Why do you need to see a doctor? Are you not feeling well?"
Su Li was rather surprised. Given Mu Qingmei’s condition, her body was in excellent shape; with how often she did extreme sports, how bad could her health be?
Mu Qingmei touched her own nose and frowned. "I don’t know what’s going on lately. I’ve been getting frequent nosebleeds. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve eaten too much spicy food since coming to Jiang City and got overheated."
She waved it off casually and explained, "I’ve always been very healthy, so it’s no big deal. I thought I’d drop by to see you, and since I heard there’s a famous doctor staying at your place, I figured I’d have him take a look while I’m here."
Su Li said apologetically, "Xu Xing hasn’t been in a good mood lately and often goes out. He might have gone back to the mountain by now."
Ever since that medicinal ingredient went missing, and later Senior Sister Ji Xuewei said it was probably stolen and eaten by mountain rats, Xu Xing had been in a pretty bad mood and was seldom seen around.
Hearing this, Mu Qingmei didn’t mind. "If he’s not here, then forget it. I feel like I’m in pretty good shape anyway. I came today mainly to see you."
