Chapter Sixty-Six: Herbal Medicine (Main Side Plot Couple)

"Sister Lengzheng, you're truly amazing!" Li Yichen looked at Lengzheng with admiration—who would have imagined the head of the Li family to be like this.

"Alright, we still have another battle to fight tomorrow. Let's go home and rest," Lengzheng nodded, taking Cheng Yunting's hand as she spoke.

"Okay," Li Yichen nodded as well and obediently walked away.

Lengzheng and Cheng Yunting also walked home hand in hand.

...

In the car

"Xiao Zheng," Cheng Yunting held Lengzheng's hand, looking at her nervously, "Are you alright?"

Lengzheng shook her head and leaned against Cheng Yunting's shoulder. "I'm fine, just a little tired."

"Then sleep for a bit," Cheng Yunting gently stroked her hair, his voice tender.

"Alright," Lengzheng nodded and settled onto Cheng Yunting's lap.

Cheng Yunting looked at Lengzheng with affection. His gaze lingered on her, unwilling to look away...

...

On Qin Cheng and Li Xi's side.

"Qin Cheng!" Li Xi caught up to him, grabbing his arm and looking at him intently. "Brother Cheng, please don't be like this."

"You don't want me to be like what?!" Qin Cheng shook Li Xi off, glaring at him in anger. "Is it fun, Young Master Li Seven? How does it feel—deceiving me, playing with my feelings?"

Li Xi's true identity was the seventh young master of the Li family, Li Xin'er’s seventh brother—Li Xiyun.

"Brother Cheng, listen to me, please? Hmm?" Li Xiyun hugged Qin Cheng tightly. "Don't go, please?"

Qin Cheng tried to break free, but Li Xiyun held him too tightly—there was no escaping.

Li Xiyun lifted Qin Cheng and carried him towards his room.

"What are you doing!" Qin Cheng stared at him in shock, demanding, "What exactly do you want?"

"Brother Cheng, naturally, I want to make you mine," Li Xiyun's gaze was tinged with something unsettling, his whole body burning with heat.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi!" Qin Cheng felt Li Xiyun’s feverish skin and wrapped his arms around Li Xiyun’s neck.

He realized what was happening—Li Xiyun had been drugged, and with a potent effect.

"Damn!" he cursed under his breath. He hadn't brought any silver needles or antidotes; the only possible cure was himself.

Once inside the room, Li Xiyun locked the door and placed Qin Cheng on the bed, gazing at him with obsession.

Qin Cheng looked at Li Xiyun, steeled himself, wrapped his arms around Li Xiyun, and kissed him.

After all, it wasn't as if they hadn't done this before—just that he had been the one on top.

Li Xiyun had been clinging to a last shred of restraint, unwilling to touch Qin Cheng, but Qin Cheng's actions left him stunned.

In the end, Li Xiyun couldn't hold back any longer and pressed Qin Cheng beneath him, slowly claiming him...

Qin Cheng cooperated throughout, sometimes initiating kisses or carrying things forward.

But he hadn't anticipated Li Xiyun’s stamina—he finally experienced the pain of being on the bottom...

...

"Xiao Zheng, are you ready? Let's go."

PS: I'm preparing for the ending lately and won't be continuing this story. I'm about to start a new novel. Actually, I originally planned for this book to be about 100,000 words in the main plot, with side stories added as needed, but now I've decided not to write any extras.

The next chapter will wrap up the whole scheme—it looks like it's a trap set by one person's subordinate, but in fact, it's a trap within a trap.

After that, it's the wedding of the two protagonists, at most five more chapters, and then two side chapters at most to tie up the secondary couples.

Alright, goodbye~
