Chapter 234: Chapter 234: They’ve Come Knocking
After watching an old movie, each of the three went back to their rooms to shower and rest.
Qin Yanyang, after taking a shower, lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
These past few days, she had been with Yang Fei all the time, never separating even for the night, leaving her with no time to be alone and reflect.
Now, looking back, quite a few things had happened during this time.
First off was the mission that led to her whereabouts getting exposed, being pursued by Luo Yong, and almost losing her life.
After weighing her options, she didn’t call her grandfather, but chose to keep it a secret from her family and instead, let Yang Fei come to her rescue.
Yang Fei indeed did not disappoint, his medical skills were even more advanced than she had imagined, and not only that, when they were together, they experienced a unique cultivation effect.
The combined strength of the two of them was far greater than the sum of its parts, bringing a huge surprise to both of them.
So his repeated mention of a "fortuitous opportunity" was precisely this.
After this incident, not to mention Yang Fei feeling that they were destined for each other, even Qin Yanyang herself felt they were a perfect match made in heaven.
When she asked Yang Fei to leave, but he stayed and said those six words about advancing and retreating together, sharing life and death, she was truly moved.
She thought of the line from Star Lord’s movie.
What’s destined by the heavens is, of course, the greatest.
The only regret was that she had exposed her martial arts skills in front of Yang Fei; she had wanted to keep it hidden for a bit longer.
But he would have found out sooner or later, so it didn’t matter much.
Afterward, the two of them visited the Xu Family, facing three Unique Tier powerhouses, where Yang Fei, along with her, displayed overwhelming combat power that intimidated the opposition.
Later, after her suggestion that perhaps Zhu Tianshou could be cured, Yang Fei, who had been eager to settle the score with Luo Yong for the pursuit, hurriedly took her to the Zhu Family.
He did cure Zhu Tianshou and helped him step into the Innate Realm.
Compared to her own injury and rescue, Zhu Tianshou getting back on his feet and entering the Innate Realm had a significant impact on the Divine Continent Martial World, with a far-reaching meaning.
As for what happened to Yang Wen after returning, Qin Yanyang didn’t take it seriously; compared to the previous incidents, this matter was too trivial.
Thinking about all the events that had occurred in the last several days, the corners of Qin Yanyang’s mouth slightly curved upward.
There was one thing she could be sure of: the husband her grandfather introduced her to, whom she met through matchmaking, married after liking each other, and tried to get along with, was really incredible, far surpassing her expectations in capability.
What’s valuable is that even before she knew of his exceptional medical skill and martial arts ability, she found him not at all disagreeable.
She knew her feelings for Yang Fei weren’t a woman’s adulation for a strong man; they lacked the psychology of idolizing strength and consisted solely of a pure attraction between the opposite sexes.
This was finding true love.
At this thought, Qin Yanyang’s cheeks grew warmer, feeling that with her nature, she shouldn’t be preoccupied with matters of love and affection, yet she couldn’t control her own thoughts.
Right, he should know Li Xuanyu.
But why hide it from me?
Moreover, he has never mentioned his life overseas to her. With his skills, he must have some reputation abroad, maybe even a formidable person she had heard of.
Why wouldn’t he tell her?
At this thought, Qin Yanyang felt a mix of gain and loss, wondering if he might not be sincerely in love with her, if he might be deceiving her feelings...
In the end, she remembered that she also had secrets from him, many things she hadn’t told him.
With that thought, she felt much more at ease.
She wouldn’t, like many women plagued by feminism, only dwell on the other person’s secrets without confronting her own issues.
With such a whirlwind of thoughts in her head, she didn’t realize it was already past one in the morning, and Qin Yanyang still hadn’t fallen asleep.
After thinking for a long time, she suddenly got up, turned on her encrypted computer, and sent out a message: look into my husband’s exploits overseas, the more detailed, the better.
She didn’t know if she could uncover any useful information, but she was suddenly brimming with curiosity, wanting to know everything about Yang Fei.
She felt her husband wasn’t a simple man; she had to investigate thoroughly.
The next morning, Qin Yanyang didn’t wake up naturally early as usual; instead, it was Yang Wen knocking on her door and calling her to get up for breakfast.
Thinking about how she had let her mind wander last night for so long that she overslept until eight o’clock, Qin Yanyang’s face turned red.
After quickly washing up, she tied her hair into a simple ponytail, dressed neatly, and went downstairs to the dining room.
Yang Fei had already made breakfast and greeted her with a smile as she arrived, "You must be exhausted from running around these past few days, come have breakfast."
It was a very normal expression of concern, but Qin Yanyang’s ears reddened nonetheless.
Although the past few days had indeed been tiring, as a martial artist, and a formidable one at that, it wasn’t possible for her to oversleep, even with her injuries not yet fully healed.
She couldn’t help but glare at Yang Fei.
It’s all your fault.
If you hadn’t been hiding things from me, would I have been lost in thought for so long last night?
Even the most intellectual and rational woman is still a woman, and there are times when they are irrational.
Yang Fei was glared at, somewhat confused.
What’s wrong? You seem a bit unhappy this early in the morning?
Could it be because of him asking yesterday if she knew Li Xuanyu?
Feeling guilty, Yang Fei didn’t dare to ask further, pretending not to notice as he turned and went back into the kitchen to pretend to be busy for a while. Returning to see Qin Yanyang and Yang Wen already eating and chatting, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After breakfast, Qin Yanyang took Yang Wen to school.
Today was Thursday; she still had work.
Once the kitchen was cleaned, Yang Fei leisurely made his way to Li Xuantong Medical Hall.
The Medical Hall belonged to Li Xuantong and had nothing to do with the Li Wenjun and Liu Yan couple. Moreover, considering Li Xuantong’s character, Yang Fei maintained his position at work without holding their actions against them, out of respect for Li Xuantong.
But, as soon as he arrived at the Medical Hall, Li Xuantong followed him into his consultation room, closed the door behind them, and said, "Yang Fei, did my unfilial son and foolish daughter-in-law aggravate you last night?"
Yang Fei hadn’t mentioned the previous evening’s events to anyone, so now, seeing Li Xuantong like this, he asked confusedly, "Not at all, what’s the matter, Old Li?"
Seeing his reaction, Li Xuantong was both grateful and ashamed, sighing, "Last night, my son secretly called me to tell me about what happened at the hotel. That good-for-nothing even warned me to stay away from you, saying you’re too dangerous.
I got very angry and scolded him. After pressing him, it came out that, to ingratiate themselves with people from Korea, they didn’t hesitate to do such things, utterly disgracing me. Raising such an unfilial person—I am truly ashamed."
Yang Fei hurried to comfort and persuade him, and after some time, he finally calmed Li Xuantong down.
"Yang Fei, our friendship won’t be affected by this, will it?" Li Xuantong couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Fei laughed heartily, "How could it be? I have great respect for Old Li’s character and medical ethics. Your son and daughter-in-law’s actions are their own. As long as you, Old Li, don’t change or get mad at me for scolding them, we will remain friends."
"Good, that’s a relief. I’m glad to hear that," Li Xuantong said happily.
Just then, a knock on the door sounded, and Zhou Cheng’s voice reached their ears, "Master, Mr. Yang, there’s a beautiful lady from Korea outside looking to see you."
Li Xuantong was startled at the mention, "A woman from Korea?"
Yang Fei’s mind conjured an image of a beautiful face, and he couldn’t help feeling anxious.
Could it be, she’s actually found her way here?
Is she specifically looking for me?
No, she doesn’t know my real name, Yang Fei.
So what is she here for?
