Chapter 130: You Are My Little Groom
In July in Sui City, it's as hot as being roasted over a fire.
The air everywhere is filled with scorching heat, as the world of concrete resembles a furnace.
Outside Ziyuan Villa, Qing Chuan's mood is also unbearably torrid, her eyes blazing with anger, nearly enough to scorch someone.
"Tang Rao! Tang Rao! Tang Rao!!" Qing Chuan almost wants to crush her own pearly white teeth.
She has never felt as angry as she does today.
Qing Chuan desperately wants to knock Tang Rao to the ground and beat him into a pulp.
But she knows all too well that it's just wishful thinking.
Not to mention that Tang Rao has controlled her with drugs, even if she were to face off against him, she wouldn't stand a chance.
Moreover, Tang Rao's aura is much more terrifying than before.
...
As for inside the villa, the air conditioning is cool, the fruits are fresh, and the TV shows are riveting.
"Tang Rao, who is this woman? She looks like she has a good figure." Shangguan Ling asked Tang Rao while lounging on the couch.
"Why do you have to meddle in everything?"
"Of course, you're my sworn manservant, I have to keep a close eye on other wild women," Shangguan Ling hummed.
"Manservant?"
"Yeah, the husband of Xiao Ma, so manservant."
Tang Rao: "…"
"By the way, have you called your little mom yet? Have her hurry up and take you away, you troublemaker." Tang Rao glared at Shangguan Ling, who was simply more unreliable than Ye Xiaobai.
"I already called her, told her I'm staying here for now," Shangguan Ling said nonchalantly.
Tang Rao just rolled his eyes, too lazy to even refuse, because it would be useless.
"By the way, where is Han Wanli?" Tang Rao only then realized Han Wanli was not in the villa.
"Old man Han, he went out, said he had some urgent business," Shangguan Ling said.
In just an afternoon, she had already become quite familiar with Han Wanli.
"Alright, let's eat first, I need to go out later. I'll have Mrs. Chen arrange a room for you, you should sleep early," Tang Rao said.
"Okay." Shangguan Ling, for once, didn't argue with Tang Rao.
...
At eight o'clock in the evening, Tang Rao arrived at the entrance of the Eighth Hospital in Sui City.
Soon, Tang Rao went up to the inpatient building and found Yan Qianqian's hospital room, then knocked on the door.
"Come in." From inside the room, Yan Qianqian's somewhat weak voice could be heard.
Tang Rao pushed the door and entered.
Inside the room, only Yan Qianqian was present, Yan Wei was not there.
"Brother Tang Rao, you're here?" Seeing Tang Rao, Yan Qianqian immediately smiled.
Just a few days apart, Yan Qianqian looked much paler, thinner than before, her bones protruding, it was heartbreaking to see.
Knowing how much Yan Wei cared for Yan Qianqian, it's hard to imagine what he goes through every day.
He must be deeply pained inside.
"Qianqian is still so pretty, where's your brother?" Tang Rao pulled a chair over to sit by Yan Qianqian's bed, then casually picked up an apple and started peeling it.
"My brother went to the supermarket to buy some stuff, didn't you call him, Brother Tang Rao?" Yan Qianqian asked.
"No, I knew he must be around here, so I saved a few cents on a phone call. You know, I've always been a thrifty person, saving a bit wherever I can," Tang Rao said.
Pffft, Yan Qianqian burst into laughter.
"Here, have an apple." Tang Rao handed her a peeled apple.
Yan Qianqian's face turned slightly red, but she didn't say anything. She lowered her head to accept it and then crunched into the apple.
"Qianqian, eat this together with the apple," Tang Rao said as he took a jade bottle from his pocket and poured out a medicine pill.
It was entirely white and emitted a strong medicinal fragrance.
"Tang Rao brother, what is this? It smells so comforting!" Yan Qianqian took the medicine pill and brought it close to her nose for a sniff.
Just a few sniffs made her feel refreshed and clearheaded.
"This, people in the martial world call it: Power Pill! Just one pill can cure all diseases, make you extraordinarily strong, invincible, and quickly put you on the peak of life!" Tang Rao spoke solemnly.
Yan Qianqian laughed heartily again, but without hesitation, she swallowed the medicine pill.
She knew what her illness was and also understood that she didn't have much time left. Tang Rao certainly had no reason to harm her.
"Qianqian, I'm back." Just then, the door to the room opened, and Yan Wei walked in.
Seeing Yan Qianqian and Tang Rao laughing and talking, Yan Wei was slightly taken aback.
"You've come back?" Yan Wei didn't expect Tang Rao to visit.
"Yes, there was an incident, so I came back early," Tang Rao stood up and said.
Originally, he was supposed to stay in Tiandu for at least a week, but due to the matter involving Gu Shengtai, he had to return to Sui City ahead of time.
"I have leads on a few items; in at most ten days, I will have gathered them all," Yan Wei said excitedly as he put down the items in his hand.
Tang Rao was surprised; the items he had tasked Yan Wei to find were not simple.
It's impressive that this guy had found clues so quickly.
"Actually…"
"Huack!" Just as Tang Rao was about to say something, Yan Qianqian suddenly retched violently from the hospital bed.
Then, with unknown strength, she rolled out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.
The sounds of vomiting and the stench of it drifted continuously.
"Qianqian!" Yan Wei panicked immediately; could it be that her condition had worsened?
"Don't worry, let her finish vomiting." Tang Rao held Yan Wei back, "I went to Tiandu and managed to get some medicinal herbs, and I processed them a bit. Although it can't completely resolve the issue, it can suppress it for a month. During this month, Qianqian won't suffer any pain."
Hearing Tang Rao's words, Yan Wei felt tears sting his nose.
Watching Qianqian endure unbearable pain silently every day was agonizing like a knife twisting in his heart.
"Tang Rao, I won't say thank you. From now on, my life, Yan Wei's life, is yours," Yan Wei said through gritted teeth, his gaze unwavering.
"F*ck, are we still brothers? That's nonsense! I already said, your sister is like my sister, don't say such things again, or I'll bite," Tang Rao pushed Yan Wei a bit.
Yan Wei didn't say more, but from his look, it was clear he would always stand by Tang Rao's side.
"By the way, take me to Gu Shengtai later, there are some matters that completely exceeded our expectations," Tang Rao said with some gravity.
"Sword Sect, Wangu Sect, Yin Yang Valley," Yan Wei slowly said.
"Holy sh*t! You could find that out?" Tang Rao was a bit dumbfounded by Yan Wei's words.
He had underestimated Yan Wei.
In terms of gathering intelligence and analyzing data, Yan Wei was like a bug.
"It took some time, and I didn't find out much," Yan Wei shook his head. The information he acquired wasn't complete; he only learned about the three sects.
It seemed that all three were highly interested in Gu Shengtai.
But as to why, Yan Wei hadn't figured it out.
He also asked Gu Shengtai, who was completely clueless as well.
