Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Let’s Cultivate Some Brother-Sister Bonding

Hua Tuo, who had just taken a sip of water, suddenly sprayed it out: "Cough cough cough!!"

Wiping his mouth in disbelief, Hua Tuo trembled as he asked Shen Yanhe, "Wha—what did you just say?"

His voice uncontrollably raised, "You two are already married?!"

Shen Yanhe timidly shrank behind Fu Yanhe, nodded, and whispered softly, "Yes..."

Hua Tuo: "..."

Not to mention, this was advancing way too damn fast, wasn’t it?

He had just found out his little disciple had a boyfriend, and she hadn’t even been tested yet!

And just like that, his little disciple was swindled onto the same household registration book?

Xiang Ling’an’s nearly murderous gaze landed on Fu Yanhe, who remained serene and even gave him a slight smile.

Xiang Ling’an: "..."

Xiang Ling’an burst into dismissive laughter, stretched out his finger pointing at Shen Yanhe, and with an icy look said, "Shen Yanhe, you really did well, keeping such a big thing from both me and your master. You must not hold me and your master in high regard, huh?"

Shen Yanhe looked serious, and raising three fingers to her chest, she swore, "Big Senior Brother, you are overreacting! I definitely did not think like that, and there are reasons for my marriage to Yanhe."

"How about I make some excuses?"

Shen Yanhe: "..."

His, what did she just say?

Deeply inhaling, Xiang Ling’an restrained his murderous intent and smirked as he beckoned Shen Yanhe, "Come, let’s cultivate our sibling relationship."

He emphasized the words "sibling relationship" very deliberately.

Shen Yanhe: "..."

Tsk, it looks like a beating was unavoidable today.

With a soft sigh, Shen Yanhe stood up and was about to walk away, when Fu Yanhe grasped her hand, "Yanyan, shall I go instead?"

Shen Yanhe shook her head, "Better not, Big Senior Brother would get even angrier."

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" Xiang Ling’an pointing at their clasped hands, couldn’t hide the murderous look in his eyes, "Hands off! Elders are still here! What kind of decorum is this, pulling and dragging each other like that!"

Shen Yanhe shrugged her shoulders, gently broke free from Fu Yanhe’s grasp, and walked outside.

Xiang Ling’an glared at Fu Yanhe, snorted, and turned to follow.

Fu Yanhe’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, wanting to follow, but Hua Tuo grabbed his shoulder, soothing him, "Let the two siblings sort it out themselves."

"Yanyan was raised by Xiao An from a young age. It’s normal for him to be upset about Yanyan keeping such a big thing from him. Don’t worry, he won’t go too far and hurt Yanyan."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanhe sat back down, a smile gracing his beautiful face, "Sorry for making you see such a scene, master."

Hua Tuo shook his head, then turned to Fu Yanhe, frowning, "But what’s the deal with you and Yanyan?"

Getting married is a big life event.

As a master, Hua Tuo needed to understand the whole story.

While Hua Tuo asked Fu Yanhe about the process of their marriage registration.

In a room within the restaurant’s backyard converted into a gym.

Shen Yanhe, her clean face now marred with several scrapes, was lying on the floor gasping for breath, her hands clad in boxing gloves, weakly said, "I can’t do it, Big Senior Brother, I can’t go on."

Xiang Ling’an, now with a few more scrapes on his face, huffed coldly, took off his boxing gloves, walked over to a nearby table to grab two bottles of mineral water, and approached her, "Having a boyfriend has really softened your skills."

Xiang Ling’an stood in front of her, looking down at her. "Get up."

Shen Yanhe glanced at him, sighed resignedly, and climbed up from the ground. She took a bottle of mineral water from his hand, twisted it open, and drank a few sips.

It must be said, although the fight was tiring, it was quite comforting to vent all the pent-up emotions.

Xiang Ling’an sat beside her, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Xiang Ling’an was the first to break the silence, "Can you get a divorce?"

Shen Yanhe: "..."

"Seems not." Shen Yanhe couldn’t help but smile, "Big brother, if he knows you’re inciting me to divorce, he might fight you desperately."

"Am I afraid of him?" Xiang Ling’an scoffed. "I haven’t even settled the score for him taking you away yet."

"Are you sure you want this man for life?" Xiang Ling’an leaned back slightly, propped his hands on the ground, and turned his head to look at Shen Yanhe with a deep gaze.

Shen Yanhe smiled and looked down. "A lifetime is so long; I can’t absolutely say that he’s the only one for this lifetime."

"However," Shen Yanhe turned to face Xiang Ling’an and earnestly said, "at least for now, I am sure I want him."

Shen Yanhe’s personality was more rational than emotional; she knew that people’s hearts could change. She couldn’t guarantee Fu Yanhe would stay unchanged for a lifetime, nor could she promise to grow old with him.

But at least for now, she was certain about him.

"What’s so good about that kid? He didn’t even throw you a wedding. Look at the clothes you’re wearing—what shabby street stall goods." Xiang Ling’an clicked his tongue, pointed a finger at her ordinary shirt and jeans, and mumbled, "I can’t say much since you’re set on him."

"If he bullies you later, you can always come to big brother."

A warmth flowed in Shen Yanhe’s heart as she looked at Xiang Ling’an with rounded cat-like eyes and nodded hard, "Mhm."

"Alright, let’s go before that kid gets too anxious and makes things difficult for me in front of master," Xiang Ling’an said, scratching his sweaty hair and clicked his tongue, "I need to go take a shower too."

Shen Yanhe nodded slightly and stood up from the ground.

Just as Xiang Ling’an had taken a couple of steps, he paused, turned his head with a mischievous look at Shen Yanhe and said, "By the way, you’ll have to deal with your second and third senior brothers and sisters on your own. I’m not going to cover this up for you."

Shen Yanhe: "..."

Is it still feasible to give big brother some hush money now?

Shen Yanhe’s face instantly fell, and she followed behind Xiang Ling’an dejectedly.

"By the way, big brother, have you heard anything about the ’immortal’ organization while abroad lately?"

This trip abroad was best if they could directly locate their stronghold and take it down.

"The ’immortal’ organization?" Xiang Ling’an touched the spot on his face where Shen Yanhe had hit him, took a slight inhale of cool air, and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Yes."

"The most recent news was from Country F—they are said to have collaborated with a local power there and robbed an arms dealer’s goods."

Shen Yanhe frowned slightly.

Country F.

It looked like apart from going to Country M, a trip to Country F was also in the cards.

"What about them? Do they need big brother to lend a hand?" Xiang Ling’an was aware of the organization all because of Shen Yanhe’s alias, Dr. YM.

They had previously been desperately trying to find Dr. YM, inviting Dr. YM to save someone or another.

It was just unclear whether this rescue was fake news or real.

After all, the organization had some shady dealings; recently, their members have been seen getting close to international doctors and scientists, stirring some unknown schemes behind the scenes.
