Chapter 666: 668, A Big Gift (One More Chapter)

"Have you really had your meal already?" Bai Ruyu asked skeptically.

"Really," Chu Jin played with the Tarot cards in her hand, nodding slightly.

With a look of disappointment, Bai Ruyu said, "Then I’ll come over earlier tomorrow."

"No need," Chu Jin’s eyes rose indifferently, tactfully declining, "I don’t like eating food cooked by men."

Bai Ruyu looked at her in shock, "For real, Jinjin, you have such a strange quirk?"

"Mmm," Chu Jin nodded, seriously saying, "Of course it’s true, it might be hereditary."

"That’s really too bad," Bai Ruyu set out the food from the lunchbox, leaning in to sit opposite Chu Jin, "such delicious food, looks like I’m the only one who’ll enjoy it."

With that, he picked up his chopsticks and started to eat with gusto.

The aroma became even more intense, the numbing spice of fish, the freshness of shrimp, the crispy chicken, the sweet greens, along with Bai Ruyu’s exaggerated eating manner, were enough to make one’s mouth water.

Little Grey on the floor was about to drool.

Bai Ruyu was actually quite sly; he planned to tempt Chu Jin with delicious food on the spot. He didn’t believe that in the face of good food and beauty, Chu Jin could hold back.

And just as he imagined, from the moment he started eating, Chu Jin’s gaze had never left him.

She must have been tempted, after all, no one can resist good food.

A smile tugged at the corner of Bai Ruyu’s mouth.

"Jinjin, looking at your longing face, do you want some? Come on, call me a good brother, and I’ll give you a bite," Bai Ruyu said while eating a shrimp and looking towards Chu Jin.

"Thanks, but I really don’t want any," Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly.

Although she loved food, her willpower was incredibly strong, and she would never covet food that wasn’t hers.

After watching her for a while, Bai Ruyu reproached, "Jinjin, don’t lie to me, if you didn’t want to eat, why would you keep staring? Such a hypocrite."

"Come on, call me a good brother, and this chicken leg is yours," Bai Ruyu said as he dangled a chicken leg in front of Chu Jin, smiling smugly.

Chu Jin gave him a look, saying somewhat helplessly, "I just wanted to remind you, could you not smack your lips when you eat? It’s really quite impolite."

Bai Ruyu: "..." Could you at least save some face for this handsome young man?

While Bai Ruyu wasn’t paying attention, Little Grey swiftly jumped onto the table, grabbed a roasted chicken, and ran off.

Having gained no advantage at Chu Jin’s, Bai Ruyu walked away disheartened.

"Hold on," Chu Jin called out to Bai Ruyu’s retreating figure.

"What is it?" Bai Ruyu turned around, his eyes, which had dimmed, now flickering with light, "Jinjin, do you have something to say to me?"

"Mmm," Chu Jin nodded slightly, "come here."

Bai Ruyu immediately scampered over, "Jinjin, have you changed your mind? Do you want someone to stay and keep you company?"

Chu Jin looked him up and down and pointed at the lunchbox and half-eaten food on the table, "Please take your things with you, thank you."

Bai Ruyu’s ardor was extinguished by a bucket of cold water as he let out a flat "Oh."

Then he picked up the lunchbox and walked away, sulking like a wronged little wife.

Chu Jin watched his back, laughing softly.

Actually, sometimes Bai Ruyu was quite adorable.

Bai Ruyu walked slowly until he reached a nanny car and stopped, kicked the car door fiercely, then opened it and sat inside.

Xiao Jinnian was in the back seat. Seeing Bai Ruyu come in, he said to the driver, "Lao Jiang, let’s drive."

"Alright," a sweet female voice answered from the driver’s seat.

"Don’t be sad," Xiao Jinnian took the lunchbox from Bai Ruyu’s hand, smiling gently, "if she despises you for smacking your lips, I don’t."

"Scram!" Bai Ruyu glanced at him, "but I despise you. Can you give birth to sons?"

Hearing this, a dark light seemed to flash in Xiao Jinnian’s eyes.

But it was hidden behind the thin lenses.

Xiao Jinnian lifted the lid off the lunchbox, looking at the untouched food with a bit of pity, "Ah, you didn’t even take a bite? What a waste of my one hour’s time."

With that, he reached for a half-eaten shrimp and put it in his mouth, showing no aversion; it had been bitten by someone else.

Yes, all the food was prepared by Xiao Jinnian, having nothing to do with Bai Ruyu.

In front of Xiao Jinnian, Bai Ruyu was almost useless.

Apart from eating, he couldn’t do anything.

But Xiao Jinnian was different.

He was a fine man who could manage both the living room and the kitchen, didn’t smoke, drink, or gamble. A truly good man.

"Lao Xiao, I’m really hit hard!" Bai Ruyu hugged Xiao Jinnian’s neck, complaining, "Am I that bad? Does she really look down on me that much?"

Bai Ruyu would stroll freely among a sea of flowers.

But this time, he had been defeated by the flower that was Chu Jin.

This caused Bai Ruyu to question his own charm and looks profoundly.

There was no reason for Chu Jin not to fancy his good looks!

Xiao Jinnian patted Bai Ruyu’s shoulder, consoling, "It’s okay, it’s okay. There are no bridges in the world that can’t be crossed, nor roads that can’t be traveled. Trust me, one day, you will truly have her."

"Really?" Bai Ruyu looked at Xiao Jinnian with a pitiful expression.

Xiao Jinnian couldn’t stand to see Bai Ruyu like this; it felt like facing a small wronged wife, and no matter how tough his heart was, it softened instantly in front of him.

"Of course," Xiao Jinnian nodded firmly, "when have I ever lied to you?"

"Exactly," Bai Ruyu leaned despondently against the back of the seat, "Lao Xiao, we are the true love..."

At this, Xiao Jinnian raised his hand, adjusting his glasses, about to say something, but then he heard Bai Ruyu continue, "Lao Xiao, if there’s a next life, I’ll still want to be your good brother!"

Xiao Jinnian: "..." Scram! I don’t care to be your good brother.

The Chu Family.

Zhao Yan had fallen sick again these past few days and even coughed up blood, needing Luo Yu’s constant company. Whenever Luo Yu left for even a moment, she would become anxious and restless, insisting on seeing Luo Yu.

The look in her eyes suggested she feared Luo Yu would flee at any moment.

Having no other choice, Luo Yu could only notify Mo Zhixuan, asking him to come check on Zhao Yan.

After all, Mo Zhixuan cared for Zhao Yan as though she were his own mother, and he would definitely be very anxious whenever he heard that anything had happened to her.

Indeed, after Luo Yu sent word to Mo Zhixuan, he arrived in a flurry, his expression one of deep concern.

"Brother Mo, you’re here." Upon seeing Mo Zhixuan, Luo Yu hurriedly stood up from beside the bed.

To take care of Zhao Yan, she hadn’t slept well for two days, her appearance somewhat haggard; her skin was pale, her figure thin - a pitiful sight. As she stood up, her body swayed, as if she might collapse at any moment.

Fragile to an extreme.

Yet Mo Zhixuan seemed to ignore Luo Yu entirely, walking straight to the bedside to look at Zhao Yan, "Mom, are you all right?"

Seeing this, Luo Yu’s expression darkened a bit. What was Mo Zhixuan’s deal?

Why was he suddenly ignoring her?

He had been so warm to her just the other day!

How had he changed so completely now?

Seeing her state, he didn’t even bother to check on her?

Could it be that Mo Zhixuan had found out something?

Though she was puzzled, Luo Yu still remained composed, a faint smile on her lips as she followed behind Mo Zhixuan.

"Mom is fine," Zhao Yan said in an extremely weak voice, "Don’t be alarmed by Jin’s exaggeration. It’s just an old ailment; a bit of medicine and I’ll be fine. You didn’t need to come all this way; go back..." Before she could finish, Zhao Yan began to cough violently, fresh blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

"Cough gently," Mo Zhixuan soothed as he patted Zhao Yan’s back. He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a trace of worry flickering through his deep eyes.

Zhao Yan’s condition seemed to be getting worse.

"Mom, drink your medicine first," Luo Yu brought over a bowl of the dark medicinal concoction.

"I’ll do it." Mo Zhixuan took the bowl and personally fed the medicine to Zhao Yan.

After Mo Zhixuan helped Zhao Yan drink her medicine, Luo Yu took the porcelain bowl and took the opportunity to pour a glass of water for Mo Zhixuan, "Brother Mo, have some water."

Mo Zhixuan took the glass, sipped lightly, his Adam’s apple moving sensuously as he casually placed the glass on the table beside him.

Seeing that Mo Zhixuan had taken a drink, Luo Yu finally relaxed, a calculating glint flashing in her eyes.

"Right, Brother Mo," Luo Yu said nonchalantly as she looked at Mo Zhixuan, continuing, "Mom hasn’t taken her Western medicine yet. I’m going to wipe her down, could you fetch it from my room? I don’t trust anyone else to get it."

Mo Zhixuan stood up and after glancing at Zhao Yan, he nodded to Luo Yu.

"Thank you, Brother Mo." The moment Mo Zhixuan turned around, a clear look of triumph flashed in Luo Yu’s eyes.

As Mo Zhixuan made his way upstairs, he was well aware of what Luo Yu had slipped into the water she’d given him.

This Luo Yu, really was quite foolish.

Did she think that a bit of medicine would allow her to control him?

Ridiculous.

Isn’t Luo Yu crazily craving for a man? Then why not indulge her for once?

His agreement to go upstairs with Luo Yu was merely to play along.

Mo Zhixuan pushed open the door to Luo Yu’s room.

At the same time, a loud "bang" came from inside the room.

A naked man rolled off Luo Yu’s bed.

This person was the one-eyed gardener, who harbored boundless fantasies about Luo Yu.

The one-eyed gardener, in his forties, had never married due to his ugly appearance and having only one eye.

For all these years, he had been alone.

Knowing that Luo Yu needed to take care of Zhao Yan day and night, the one-eyed gardener secretly hid in Luo Yu’s room, stripped off his clothes, lay on Luo Yu’s bed, fantasizing about her exquisite body.

The bedding was stuffed with Luo Yu’s personal clothing.

The one-eyed gardener hadn’t expected anyone to come in at this time, so he was so frightened that he fell off the bed, closed his eyes, and passed out.

When Mo Zhixuan entered, he didn’t expect Luo Yu to have prepared such a big present for him; it saved him the trouble of finding another man. The sleazy one-eyed gardener in front of him was just the right match for Luo Yu.

Mo Zhixuan looked at the one-eyed gardener with disgust, lightly raised his hand, and the gardener instantly flew back to the bed. The blanket neatly covered him, as if nothing had happened.

Just as Mo Zhixuan was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something and plucked a steel-armored fly from the air.

The steel-armored fly immediately flew towards the bed, bit the one-eyed gardener’s face, then settled on the curtains, staring fixedly at the bed.

After ensuring all was in order, Mo Zhixuan turned and went downstairs.

As he descended, Luo Yu, flushed with springtime thoughts, was heading upstairs. Strangely, she passed by Mo Zhixuan as if she had not seen him.

Luo Yu, anxious and agitated, pushed open the door to her room, her voice sultry, "Brother Mo..."

She had fed Mo Zhixuan a potent aphrodisiac, a banned drug in the Ancient Martial Arts World, which Luo Yu had gone to great lengths to obtain.

It was said that no matter how powerful one was, they could not resist the effects of this drug; once taken, they would be consumed by lust and lose all reasoning.

Moreover, there was no antidote, only the act of lovemaking could resolve it.

No doubt, Mo Zhixuan must be impatient by now, right?

True to her expectations, just as Luo Yu entered the bedroom, she found a man lying on the bed.

Without a second thought, it must be Mo Zhixuan.

Luo Yu’s eyes gleamed as she looked at the man on the bed, her heart throbbing with excitement, her body already overwhelmed.

Like a starved wolf spotting its prey, she pounced on the man on the bed, "Brother Mo, Brother Mo..."

The man in the bed also cooperated vigorously with her actions.

The air was pervaded with a feeble, nauseating odor.

But the two on the bed were reveling in it, rolling in ecstasy, as sounds of ambiguous moaning drifted from the room.
