Chapter 660: Chapter 28 Sisters

Hei Dongxie lit a cigarette.

Lin Yunfang intertwined her hands around his neck, leaning against him from behind, and said, "What’s the matter? You seem very preoccupied."

"I have some things I need to think about..."

Hei Dongxie took a deep drag of his cigarette, but Lin Yunfang snatched it away and took a puff herself before leisurely blowing a smoke ring.

"You clearly don’t smoke much," Lin Yunfang said as she exhaled, "The harmful substances in cigarettes are harmless to us Paranormal Doctors, so we might as well enjoy them fully."

This was the house that Hei Dongxie had rented.

Outside the apartment, he had bought another house as a precaution. K-city was a third-tier city, so housing prices weren’t too high, and the salary of a Paranormal Doctor together with the monetary rewards from blood-letter tasks were enough for him to buy a house outright. After Lin Yunfang had a brief affair with him, it was only logical for her to move in.

Of course, he made it clear to Lin Yunfang that he didn’t mind supporting her as his mistress, but getting married was out of the question. Hei Dongxie and the real Dong Xie were almost complete opposites in personality; he believed that apart from the exchange of bodily fluids, it was better not to have any more entanglements between a man and a woman, to avoid unnecessary troubles.

A marriage certificate, aside from allowing the other party to split one’s assets, did not bring any benefits to oneself. If the partner cheated, there was no punishment; if the partner had a child that wasn’t yours, there was no punishment; if they didn’t want to sleep with you, they could simply refuse; if they didn’t want to have children for you, they could just not have them. So what was the point of marriage?

He chose to support Lin Yunfang because she was sensible and knew her place, without making unreasonable demands. As long as she continued to show appreciation, Hei Dongxie didn’t mind buying her Cursed Objects to save her life; supporting her in the long term wouldn’t be a problem.

"About the Karmic Obstacle Ghost nail we talked about last time..."

"It’s been applied for. You know, it’s not something you can buy just because you want to. Karmic Obstacle Ghost... are you sure you can handle it?"

Lin Yunfang, holding onto Hei Dongxie, could see that this man would surely rise up the ranks in Hospital 444 in the future. Clinging to his coattails would definitely be beneficial to herself. But merely being a mistress wasn’t secure enough.

If a woman believed the kind of plot in TV dramas where a powerful CEO throws money at a beautiful woman without a second thought, it’s as if her brain had been filled with dihydrogen monoxide. If she believed the feminist slogans spouted by some stand-up comedians, then she was even more seriously deluded.

So, to secure a long-term and stable guarantee of survival as a nurse in Hospital 444, one must not rely solely on looks and figure but also be willing to make sacrifices. As a nurse, it was almost impossible to offer any career help to Dr. Dong. Thus, she had to be creative.

The first method, and the simplest, was to have his child. But this was a last resort. Although the hospital allowed for maternity leave, pregnancy would still entail many risks for someone in her profession, and whether Dr. Dong would allow it was also a question. Besides, having an illegitimate child was not something to be proud of; she didn’t want to be unable to properly register the child, and she wanted her child to be able to openly acknowledge his ancestry and inherit the family business.

The second method was to use a Karmic Obstacle Ghost Cursed Object to enhance her own strength and look for a way to transfer from a nurse to a clinical doctor. Such cases were extremely rare, but theoretically possible. Especially in the surgery department, which was always short of staff and had more nurses than doctors. But this method was also a slim hope and not very practical.

The third method, and the most practical one...

"Tonight, I asked my sister to come here."

"Hmm... Huh???" Hei Dongxie startled for a moment, "Wait a second, you invited her to my place?"

"Yes. My sister is Lin Yunfen, two years older than me."

"Why did you take it upon yourself to invite your family here?" Hei Dongxie immediately became displeased, thinking she knew better, but she turned out to be so thoughtless!

"My sister is an internet celebrity. She has a Douyin account and is quite well-known, with about 6 million followers. Normally, even the top-ranked wouldn’t be able to see her," Lin Yunfang knew she had to make a quick decision, not giving him much time to think, "Look..."

She showed Hei Dongxie her sister’s Douyin account.

"I should mention, she doesn’t use beauty filters; she looks like this naturally."

Hei Dongxie had a faint inkling of what Lin Yunfang was up to.

"Recently, it was discovered that her top donator was misappropriating public funds to tip her, so not only did she have to return a large sum of money, but she also had to give back the house, and suddenly she had nowhere to live..."

Hei Dongxie took a deep breath.

Okay, okay...

So you’re using this to test me?

And specifically challenging my weak spot??

"Hmph..." Hei Dongxie looked at the image on the phone screen, wondering if this internet celebrity could still be recognized without makeup or beauty apps...

"You make decisions on your own quite easily. Are you suggesting your sister should stay here?"

"Of course, it still depends on whether Dr. Dong is willing."

"What does it matter to me if I’m willing or not?"

"If you’re not willing, then my sister will need to find another place to stay. But if you are willing... then we’ll be like Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, and you’ll be Emperor Cheng of Han."

She was also gambling.

If she lost the bet, maybe he would at least give her the Karmic Obstacle Ghost nail out of past affection?

If she won the bet...

"Ding dong..." The doorbell rang.

Hei Dongxie looked towards the door and said, "Speak of the devil, and the devil appears, eh?"

So, he got up and opened the door.

Outside stood a seductively voluptuous beauty who somewhat resembled Lin Yunfang.

"Sis, you’re here."

"Dr. Dong, hello." Lin Yunfen extended her hand, "My name is Lin Yunfen."

"Come in."

Hei Dongxie watched the two sisters and started to think about what his next move should be.

The sisters had great ambitions.

But well, since they’ve come knocking, he might as well swallow the sugar coating and fire back the bullet.

A Supernatural Nurse and an ordinary person, they couldn’t possibly outmaneuver him.

"I’ve brought some gifts..." Lin Yunfen, carrying several bags, added, "I hope I’m not disturbing you..."

"Not at all..."

Was it really not disturbing? Hei Dongxie suspected that Lin Yunfang only told him about her sister’s visit after Lin Yunfen had entered the neighborhood. With the typical Chinese saying "Since you’re already here," how could he possibly send her away?

Moreover, Lin Yunfen had brought quite a few things, a significant portion of which needed to be refrigerated immediately, so there was no way to refuse; he had to take them and stuff them in the fridge.

Of course, popping by so suddenly also carried the risk of annoying him, but it seemed that she understood his mindset quite well and had a good grasp of his general thoughts.

Lin Yunfen brushed her hair aside and said, "Dr. Dong, thank you for taking care of my sister at the hospital."

"It’s nothing, you’re too polite."

Hei Dongxie noticed that she had also brought a bottle of red wine.

Hmm... did she not know that Paranormal Doctors can’t get drunk? Oh, right, she probably didn’t know he was a Paranormal Doctor.

...

Lin Yunfen had brought quite a lot of ready-to-eat food, which was laid out on the table and was almost enough for dinner.

As the red wine was opened, Hei Dongxie poured it slowly into the glass before him.

He was thankful he had some wine glasses at home... otherwise, serving red wine in standard glasses would have made him look inexperienced. Then he recalled scenes from TV dramas and swirled the wine in his glass.

"Can you tell me about the hospital?" Lin Yunfen, as a top streamer, was quite eloquent, "I’ve heard my sister mention it several times. Your work is very dangerous, right?"

Hei Dongxie paused and looked towards Lin Yunfang.

"My sister knows all about it," Lin Yunfang replied.

She knows?

Hei Dongxie looked at Lin Yunfen.

"I’d like to know about things like Resentful Spirits, Karmic Obstacle Ghosts, Fierce Ghosts... and such."

Lin Yunfen mentioned these terrifying things in a very calm tone.

"When I was very young, I saw a ghost. Back then, Yunfang didn’t believe a word her older sister said."

The temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.

"I forgot to say, Dr. Dong," Lin Yunfang added, "My sister is an internet celebrity who streams live from various famous haunted places around the world. The number of supernatural sites she’s visited is countless."

Lin Yunfen picked up the wine glass, gave it a slight swirl, and smiled.

"Would you let me see your... Cursed Object, Dr. Dong?"
