Volume 1, Chapter 46: The Baby-Faced Busty Beauty, Lin Ruoxue's Cousin
I am not certain either, but Mr. Su's medical skills are far superior to mine. We must at least try.
Right, I noticed you seem very interested in Mr. Su. Could it be that you've fallen for him, girl? If that's the case, I'll have a chat with Mr. Su tomorrow!
You're not so young anymore, and you enjoy tinkering with these medicinal herbs. Coupled with Mr. Su's brilliant medical skills, the two of you would make a wonderful match!!
Dongfang Shaobai said with a serious smile! "Grandfather, what are you talking about!"
"I don't like him at all."
"He probably still holds a grudge against me; he hasn't spoken a single word to me."
Dongfang Xiaoxiao pouted, feeling very shy yet deeply disappointed. "It seems you really do have a favorable impression of Mr. Su, girl, but there's no rush."
"Mr. Su has a mysterious background involving many complicated elements, so I cannot propose a match for you rashly!"
"Let's wait until you've had more contact and understand him better before discussing it," Dongfang Shaobai said with a smile. At this, Dongfang Xiaoxiao turned and bolted outside, evidently overcome with shyness. ...... At night. Su Ming had just arrived at the Haitian villa area. After getting out of the car, he walked straight up to the entrance of the villa where Ye Bing had brought him earlier that day. He took out the key Ye Bing had given him and unlocked the door. Inside, he found a luxuriously decorated living room. The lights were on, but no one was around. Su Ming changed into house shoes, intending to head upstairs to find a room of his own. Right at that moment! A crisp, melodic voice rang out! "You must be... Su Ming?"
Hearing the voice, Su Ming paused slightly and looked toward the sofa. There, he saw a young girl lying prone on the sofa, wearing only a white slip nightgown. Her long, dark, curly hair was tied into two braids, and her fair skin was as smooth as suet jade. A pair of pitch-black eyes shimmered with a mischievous glint! Beneath a high bridge of her nose, her soft, pink, thin lips curved slightly upward into a sweet smile! Her petite feet, wrapped in knee-high milky-white socks, were kicked up high and swaying back and forth! Judging by her appearance, she could only be seventeen or eighteen years old! However, as Su Ming's gaze drifted downward, he froze in place. The girl stood perhaps only 160 centimeters tall and was very slender—weighing at most over forty kilograms—yet her twin cleavage was astonishingly majestic! The deep valley between them was like a single line of sky, captivating and bottomless. Su Ming instinctively pulled back his gaze, feeling rather awkward. "And you are?"
Su Ming hadn't expected anyone to be home, let alone someone with such a baby face yet such an overwhelming figure!!
"Hello, I'm Ling Yue. Lin Ruoxue is my cousin."
"Nice to meet you!"
Ling Yue rolled over to find a more comfortable position, hugging her phone as she played on it, her attitude quite friendly. At this, Su Ming also managed a friendly smile. He had wanted to find a room to rest, but since someone was home, it wouldn't do to just march upstairs—that would seem too impolite. So, he walked over instead. "What are you watching?"
Su Ming just wanted to find a topic to break the awkward atmosphere. "Léon: The Professional!!"
"Have you seen it?"
Seeing Su Ming walk over, Ling Yue put down her phone, blinked her expressive eyes, and looked him over with great interest. "I've seen bits of it. It seems to be a story about a hitman and a young girl."
Su Ming nodded. "Hehe, ever since I was a child, I've adored those assassins and mercenaries. Whether it's novels or movies, as long as it's related to that theme, I never miss it."
"Perhaps because of some special experiences in my childhood, I've developed a particular fascination with these mysterious professions."
"To be honest, I've even fantasized about being a female secret agent executing missions."
Ling Yue cupped her chin, her eyes filled with yearning and a strong sense of curiosity. What she longed for was the thrilling excitement found amidst danger. Hearing this left Su Ming quite astonished. Such a seemingly polite girl actually harbored a fierce tiger in her heart. A secret agent? Especially female secret agents—their backgrounds were usually tragic, having been trained into nothing more than cold-blooded killing machines. Naturally, Su Ming wouldn't shatter her illusions by telling the harsh reality. "What about you? Do you have any hobbies?"
Suddenly, Ling Yue blinked her adorable eyes and asked, looking at Su Ming. She had plenty of conversational topics and knew how to keep the atmosphere lively. She was also very approachable—a completely different personality from both Ye Bing and Lin Ruoxue. This actually made Su Ming feel a bit unaccustomed to it, causing a slight trace of nervousness to well up inside him. "I like... peace and quiet!!"
Su Ming rubbed his nose and said in a calm tone. "Peace and Quiet? Who's that? Is that your first love?"
"That won't do, oh! You are my cousin's fiancé now. Even though you're a live-in husband, you're still half a member of the Lin family!!"
"A man can be deeply affectionate, but he can't be fickle."
Ling Yue said with a very serious expression. "Uh, you misunderstood. By 'peace and quiet,' I literally meant sitting quietly and reading books."
"I'm a fan of martial arts wuxia novels."
Su Ming explained, feeling somewhat between laughter and tears. Conversing with a girl whose face and figure contrasted so sharply made him feel a certain pressure, and his gaze kept wandering uncontrollably. After all, he was still an innocent virgin! Especially since Ling Yue made various gestures whenever she spoke, causing her magnificent assets to bounce up and down. It was entirely too distracting. "A wuxia fan? Hehe, let me test you with a few questions to see if you can answer them!!"
Ling Yue let out a laugh like chiming silver bells and said. "Go ahead. I've read nearly hundreds of wuxia novels!"
"You won't stump me," Su Ming said with confidence. "Then tell me, why didn't Qiao Feng from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils break his vows, yet when he saw a naked woman, he had no reaction whatsoever?"
Instantly, a flash of mischievous cunning crossed Ling Yue's eyes as she smiled and asked. "Huh? This... well, you've stumped me there. The books never mentioned that."
Su Ming scratched his head, looking thoroughly troubled. "Then question number two: There is an object which Yang Guo possesses, but Xiaolongnü does not; Zhiqing's is long, Guo Jing's is short, and Zhou Botun's has been seen by many people. May I ask what object this is?"
"This..." Su Ming was on the verge of a breakdown, starting to stutter. He had never imagined there could be such tricky and bizarre questions in wuxia literature. "How about we go back to talking about secret agents instead?"
Seeing that Ling Yue was about to launch into a third question, Su Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly spoke up. "Hehe, it seems your status as a veteran wuxia fan doesn't quite hold up."
"As for secret agents, fine—you ask the questions this time, and I'll answer."
Ling Yue seemed to have grown even more interested. Just moments ago, she had been speeding along the conversational highway so fast that her wheels were practically running across Su Ming's face, yet he hadn't reacted at all, leaving her with a tiny pang of guilt. "Alright, then let me ask you: if an assassin suddenly appears, what is the very first thing one should do to maximize personal safety?!"
Finally, the conversation had shifted to a topic within Su Ming's area of expertise. He let out a quiet sigh of relief in his heart.
