Peerless Divine Doctor in the City of Flowers
Chapter 325: The Beauty’s Invitation

Chapter 325: Chapter 325: The Beauty’s Invitation

The night was deep, and all was quiet.

Lin Fan lay alone in the western wing of the courtyard.

At that moment, he suddenly missed the days when he used to sleep under the bed.

What happened to the plans for intimacy enhancement, the promises of a honeymoon trip?

Why did they suddenly disappear?

"Ding-a-ling..."

Just as Lin Fan was utterly baffled,

the telephone by the bed began to ring.

It was Yang Linglong calling.

"You’re back, why didn’t you tell me!"

As soon as the call connected, Yang Linglong’s voice of questioning came right through.

"I’ve been dealing with some things at hand, just finished and haven’t had the chance to call you yet. How did you know I was back?"

Lin Fan leaned against the headboard.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to find her, but he didn’t dare to.

After all, she had made herself clear last time.

If his wife were Ning Mengyao, she would have been so ashamed that she’d consider suicide.

"It was your boss who called me, that’s how I found out you guys were back. What on earth were you doing that you had to be so secretive, even managing to drop your phones in water?"

Yang Linglong said indignantly.

She hadn’t planned to ask, considering Lin Fan’s special identity.

But after being out of touch for so long, she was really worried.

"Dropping the phone in water is a minor issue, being able to come back alive is what’s important. Let’s meet and talk about it in detail another day."

Lin Fan knew she and Ning Mengyao were close friends who shared everything.

If they met, he couldn’t avoid talking about what happened on Demon Island.

So there was no need to hide anything.

Because Ning Mengyao would have already delineated the boundaries of their relationship on her own.

"You’ve returned to Jiangning, aren’t you planning to come over now?"

Yang Linglong held the phone and suddenly whispered, "I bought a new pair of socks, want to come over and try how they feel?"

"Cough cough... I’m a bit tired."

Lin Fan almost spat out blood.

The ones who don’t want to sleep won’t let you, and the ones you’re afraid to sleep with insist on offering themselves.

This might very well be the greatest pain for a man.

"Alright then, Meng Yao asked me to go shopping with her tomorrow. She said she’s bringing a new friend along, but I didn’t agree. Although I favor love over friendship, I want to see you more. How about we go buy a new outfit tomorrow? Dad has been saying you haven’t come over for dinner in a long time. You can wear it when you come over to my place, okay?"

Yang Linglong pleaded with a coquettish whine.

Leaving Lin Fan with no chance to refuse.

He could only reluctantly agree.

"This is really a bit troublesome."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan leaned against the headboard.

He hadn’t even sorted out the relationships between the three of them yet,

and abruptly, Xu Zhi Rou entered the picture.

Add to that Shangguan Min Yue from last night, now officially accepted into marriage.

He truly felt a bit overwhelmed.

When this romantic entanglement would come to an end, he had no idea.

......

"Jiaqi, are you going out?"

The next morning, as Zhao Jiaqi finished dressing up and was about to head out,

she ran into Qi Qi, who was pushing the door open to leave.

"Yeah, I’ve made plans to go shopping with a couple of friends. Qi Qi, I was actually looking for you."

Seeing Li Qiqi, Zhao Jiaqi quickly approached her,

grabbing her arm.

"What’s up?"

Li Qiqi looked at Zhao Jiaqi with confusion,

finding the sudden flattery a bit suspicious.

"You know, you helped Grandpa make that ten-ingredient tonic soup a while back, could you help me get another batch?"

Zhao Jiaqi whispered in Li Qiqi’s ear, her voice low,

after all, going to Li Yizhen with such a request,

would be frankly too embarrassing to bring up.

"It’s a piece of cake; I know the prescription. It’s just a matter of minutes."

Li Qiqi readily agreed without hesitation, "Jiaqi, doesn’t your boyfriend measure up either!"

"Qi Qi, don’t talk nonsense; I don’t have a boyfriend. It’s my friend’s husband who seems to have the will but not the strength."

Zhao Jiaqi’s face turned red with embarrassment as she quickly denied it.

"What’s with men these days, all so feeble? How can such people achieve anything great? But if everyone were like Lin Fan, then the path to becoming a healer would be a dead end."

When Li Qiqi talked about men, she naturally thought of Lin Fan.

She had missed him greatly after not seeing him for several days.

"He doesn’t necessarily have such a great body, either."

Zhao Jiaqi naturally couldn’t say that the medicine was being prepared for Lin Fan.

She could only mutter under her breath.

"Right, Jiaqi, can you take me with you when you go shopping? Lin Fan always says my clothes are a bit childish. You’re so fashionable, could you help me pick out some clothes? When Lin Fan gets back, I’ll wear them for him to see."

Li Qiqi suddenly grabbed Zhao Jiaqi’s arm.

Her sense of fashion was always very bold.

Walking down the street, she turned heads without fail.

"This..."

Qi Qi’s request left Zhao Jiaqi momentarily stunned.

In her shopping party, there would also be Ning Mengyao.

She was the wife of Lin Fan whom Qi Qi had longed for.

If they met and something slipped out, it would be troublesome.

"If it’s inconvenient, then forget it."

Li Qiqi could tell Zhao Jiaqi was struggling.

She quickly and considerately responded.

"What inconvenience? To tell you the truth, I’m not that close with them. After all, I’ve only met one of them once, and the other was a childhood playmate, not seen for many years. It would be nice to have you with me, having a sister to talk to won’t be so boring. Now, go change into another outfit quickly; I’ll wait for you."

Zhao Jiaqi quickly held on to Li Qiqi’s hand.

For one, she was staying at their place, and secondly, she needed their help.

Moreover, her relationship with Xu Zhi Rou could only be considered average at best.

Having Qi Qi along was naturally the best option.

"Okay, wait for me then, I’ll be quick."

Li Qiqi ran back into her room, happy.

She soon changed into a skirt.

And so, the two of them walked hand in hand, out of Medicine King House.

They casually hailed a cab and made their way to the agreed location.

"Jiaqi, I’ve only heard about your close relationship with Miss Shangguan before. How come you have a new bestie now?"

Sitting in the cab, Li Qiqi curiously asked.

"It was a chance encounter."

Zhao Jiaqi had her mind full of the awkwardness that might ensue between Qi Qi and Ning Mengyao when they met.

Just like her asking Shangguan Min Yue last night was only out of politeness.

After all, Lin Fan was still in the middle of it all.

She wondered how much courage Xu Zhi Rou had to stay with the Ning Family.

Having to watch the two of them being so sweet together all day long would surely be torturous.

Soon, the taxi stopped in front of Jiangning’s most bustling commercial district.

As soon as they got out of the cab, they saw two tall beauties standing in the distance.

Ning Mengyao in her white dress looked like a fairy descended to earth.

Xu Zhi Rou in her jeans and crop top exuded a robust elegance.

These two stunning beauties standing there drew many sidelong glances from people around them.

The level of appeal made many people surreptitiously take out their phones.

To capture this moment as a keepsake.

"Qi Qi, that’s my friend..."

Zhao Jiaqi, holding hands with Qi Qi, pointed toward the distant Ning Mengyao and Xu Zhi Rou.

But before she could finish speaking, Li Qiqi had already run over to them.

"Senior sister, what are you doing here!"

The appearance of Li Qiqi surprised Ning Mengyao as well.

However, the astonishment on Zhao Jiaqi’s face was evident.

She never expected Li Qiqi and Ning Mengyao to know each other.

This was too thrilling.
