Chapter 253: 0251 Ye Qiu your uncle
Goddess Villa.
Shen Mengchen returned from the company to find there was still no news of Ye Qiu, and her face remained without a smile.
Today, someone had sent a bouquet of fresh flowers, which she promptly threw into the trash can.
Even though all the ladies were present, the Villa’s atmosphere remained cold and quiet, lacking the liveliness of the past.
Niu Yinyin was practicing her boxing, her little face resolute, and her movements had form and grace, showing that she had far surpassed Shen Mengchen.
Glancing at the hard-working Niu Yinyin, Shen Mengchen began practicing alongside her.
When Ye Qiu had first taught them fighting skills, Shen Mengchen had said she wanted to become an expert. Although her interest in training had waned, perhaps this was the only way to feel as if Ye Qiu was still there.
After both Shen Mengchen and Niu Yinyin had worked themselves tired, they sat down at the dining table, with Niu Yinyin pouting, "With brother Ye Qiu not here, it’s been so long since Yinyin had a good meal."
"I wonder how that guy is doing?" sighed Shen Mengchen immediately afterward. Hearing that Ye Qiu was taken away by a mysterious person, Shen Mengchen had already sent people to search for him, but there had been no results.
The police were the same, even with a dedicated task force, there were no effective results.
Not long after, Shangguan Hong came down from upstairs. She had been restless these days and went to a nearby temple to burn incense sticks, obtaining a peace charm, and seemingly after reciting Buddhist scriptures for several days, she gave off a bit of a Buddhist aura.
"With Ye Qiu gone, I’ll cook today," said Shangguan Hong.
The two ladies had no objections, and soon plate after plate of vegetarian dishes were served. Although not as delicious as the ones Ye Qiu prepared, they were still quite edible.
With Ye Qiu away, the conversation among the three ladies suddenly became sparse, each eating the food in their bowls.
Soon, the doorbell rang.
"Could it be Ye Qiu coming back?" At the dining table, the eyes of all three women brightened, and Niu Yinyin skipped to the door to open it.
"It’s Auntie Mingyue." After seeing Mingyue’s face, Niu Yinyin turned back to the other two women and said.
"You’re all here." Shangguan Mingyue had all her hair up in a bun, making her look tidy and neat, carrying a slight motherly radiance about her.
"Auntie Mingyue, do you have any news of him?" asked Shangguan Hong. Naturally, ’him’ referred to Ye Qiu.
Shangguan Mingyue shook her head and said, "I’ve already asked Shangguan Dao to inquire more about Ye Qiu’s whereabouts, but still, there’s no word, where could this lad be."
To Shangguan Mingyue, Ye Qiu was a mysterious young man who was not only skilled in martial arts but also possessed astonishing medical skills. He was very low-key, and even though he sometimes showed a teasing expression and teased her, he always knew where to draw the line, never going too far. In every matter, he was very steady, even able to cook delicious food.
Perhaps to outsiders, Ye Qiu’s merits were not many, but Shangguan Mingyue knew in her heart that Ye Qiu was a man with a story.
The contemplative look that sometimes crossed Ye Qiu’s face and the trace of loneliness in his eyes, even she, a woman who had seen countless men, couldn’t help being attracted to him.
Hearing from Shangguan Mingyue that there was still no news about Ye Qiu, Shen Mengchen and Shangguan Hong turned their heads away, staring absent-mindedly at the dining table. Shangguan Mingyue naturally saw through the thoughts of the two beauties.
Knowing the two were worried about Ye Qiu, an image of him surfaced in Shangguan Mingyue’s mind. This guy wasn’t particularly handsome and sometimes had a lecherous look, but even so, he managed to capture the heart of Shen Mengchen, and it seemed her niece Shangguan Hong was also falling for him.
He really is an outstanding man!
Shangguan Mingyue sighed inwardly. Little did she know, she herself was very interested in Ye Qiu, but Shangguan Mingyue was just unwilling to admit it.
It had been a few days since I returned to the Goddess Villa, and it felt like a long time had passed.
Ye Qiu’s gaze passed through the window and observed the slender figures in the hall, vaguely making out the expressions on their faces.
"Why the long faces, everyone? Is it because of me?" Ye Qiu asked himself and couldn’t help feeling a bit smug. Being missed by several beautiful women was something any man would be proud of.
When Ye Qiu rang the doorbell, Niu Yinyin opened the door. Seeing Ye Qiu, she immediately threw herself into his arms, crying, "Brother Ye Qiu, you’re finally back."
The women, who were sitting silently in the hall, directed their gaze toward him upon hearing Niu Yinyin utter the words "Ye Qiu".
Niu Yinyin clung to Ye Qiu like a koala. Ye Qiu smiled and looked at everyone.
"You’re all here. Long time no see," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
On seeing Ye Qiu’s face with its light smile, Shen Mengchen’s eyes reddened for some reason. She cursed, "Ye Qiu, you heartless jerk, you’ve been gone for so many days. Don’t you know everyone was so worried about you?"
Ye Qiu chuckled and scratched his head. Seeing Shen Mengchen’s reddened eyes, he knew she was worried about him. Now that I’m back, why can’t you be more like Niu Yinyin and give me a big hug?
Ye Qiu couldn’t say aloud what he was thinking, because Shen Mengchen had already launched herself at him. Niu Yinyin jumped down and stopped clinging to him. As soon as Shen Mengchen approached, she poked two fingers into Ye Qiu’s waist, pinching hard.
Muttering, she said, "Ye Qiu, damn you. Because of your sudden disappearance, you made me worry for so long. This is your punishment."
Ye Qiu was pinched at the waist, but he didn’t use True Qi to protect the spot, allowing Shen Mengchen to pinch as hard as she wanted. He even made an effort to cooperate, grimacing to show pain.
"Will you play the vanishing act again next time?" Mistress Shen Mengchen demanded angrily.
"No more, no more," Ye Qiu quickly begged for mercy, not wanting to provoke the mistress’s further anger. This girl had a fiery temper, but the fact she treated him this way showed she genuinely worried about his safety.
After punishing Ye Qiu for a while, Shen Mengchen wiped away the tear from the corner of her eye and huffed, "Now go and apologize to the two sisters. They’ve been trying to find you because of your disappearance."
Ye Qiu nodded repeatedly, his gaze falling on Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Mingyue.
Shangguan Hong didn’t show as much excitement as Shen Mengchen, but the joy in her eyes was evident on her face. She was more reserved and not as forthright as Shen Mengchen, speaking softly, "It’s good that you’re back safely."
"This is an amulet I got from the temple. Carry it with you, and maybe it can avert disasters and solve troubles for you." Shangguan Hong placed the peace charm in Ye Qiu’s hand, her face blushing as she quickly ran back to her room.
Ye Qiu held the peace charm to his nostrils, smelling it, and it still carried Shangguan Hong’s fragrance.
"Hmph, Sister Shangguan is really biased. She didn’t even think to get a peace charm for me," Shen Mengchen huffed, looking at Ye Qiu with displeasure.
"It’s good that you’re back, It’s good that you’re back," Shangguan Ming said differently from the other two women. She was more composed and simply smiled, saying, "I’ll go and make you some more dishes. You haven’t eaten yet, right?"
Ye Qiu nodded. His stomach really was hungry. He said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Mingyue."
Listening to this title, Shangguan Mingyue smiled gently. For some reason, she felt even happier not being called Aunt Mingyue but simply enjoying the warmth in her heart.
