Chapter 103: Does It Feel Unbearable?

Zhang Xiaofan wore an expression of exasperation and said, “What use is having a big one if your heart isn’t mature? You’re not the type I like, understand? Besides, I already have Sister Lin, so you should just go home.”

Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng seemed to finally understand. Indeed, he was already involved with Sister Lin; she couldn’t very well compete for the same man. She could only blame herself for not taking the initiative earlier, for not offering herself sooner.

Had she been with him earlier, he would have belonged to her.

If Zhang Xiaofan knew what Ye Qingcheng was thinking at that moment, he’d probably be caught between laughter and tears.

Ye Qingcheng sighed, wiped away her tears, and said, “I wish you both happiness.”

With that, she walked over to her car and drove away.

“You have only yourself to blame—let’s see if you dare flirt again,” Lin Siyu teased, shooting Zhang Xiaofan a sharp look.

“Heh, how can that be called flirting? It’s all because I’m just too charming, can’t help it,” Zhang Xiaofan replied shamelessly. “Besides, I have you now—so feminine, aren’t I?”

“Smooth talker. Don’t you have another woman too? Do you say the same things to her?” Lin Siyu rolled her eyes.

“Heh, one of these days I’ll introduce you two. It’d be great if you could both wake up in the same bed at night—then I wouldn’t have to run back and forth,” Zhang Xiaofan chuckled, revealing his true desires.

“No way!” Lin Siyu rejected him outright.

Well, Zhang Xiaofan’s beautiful dream was dashed.

Seeing his disappointed expression, Lin Siyu quickly added, “When you’re with me, I’ll do my best to satisfy you. Whatever you want today, if it’s inconvenient for you, I can...” She trailed off, her face flushing crimson.

“Can what?” Zhang Xiaofan looked puzzled. Could this be something good?

Blushing, Lin Siyu pointed to her mouth and then at Zhang Xiaofan. He followed her gesture and immediately chuckled. This was promising—last time he had asked repeatedly, but she had refused.

Heh, looks like this injury was worth it after all!

“Heh, darling, are you serious?” Zhang Xiaofan smiled slyly, his expression unreadably mischievous.

“If you don’t believe me, forget it. I’m not that willing,” Lin Siyu rolled her eyes again.

“I believe, I believe! How could I not? Darling, don’t be mad, okay?” Zhang Xiaofan grinned and pulled her into a hug.

“You’re impossible,” Lin Siyu couldn’t help but laugh.

They went into the villa and headed straight upstairs. Lin Siyu had the servants prepare some food since it was already late and they hadn’t eaten yet.

“I’ll rest and recover first,” Zhang Xiaofan said after dinner. Although there were enjoyable things ahead, healing his injuries was the priority.

Lin Siyu nodded obediently, settling onto the large bed to play on her phone, checking for any news about the Yin-Yang Fish Stone Zhang Xiaofan had mentioned.

Zhang Xiaofan opened the jade box and immediately felt the spiritual energy radiating from within. This was genuine, wild ginseng.

The ginseng was clean, and such a miraculous herb was best consumed directly.

Sweet and pleasant to the taste, Zhang Xiaofan sensed the medicinal properties coursing through him. He immediately sat in meditation, regulating his breath as the ginseng’s essence gradually healed his injured internal organs.

Soon, he entered a deep meditative state, healing and cultivating through the entire night.

Lin Siyu, feeling sleepy after one o’clock, lay down beside him and fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Xiaofan regretted it. He had planned to recover and then enjoy time with Lin Siyu, but he had spent the whole night cultivating... a failure!

Still, his body felt restored to its prime, and his cultivation had progressed considerably. He was content.

After battling the Void-Shattering Mirror expert, his spiritual power was nearly depleted, yet his state of mind had improved significantly. This experience had been truly rewarding.

He also understood that until he grew stronger, he should avoid provoking those hidden sects.

Looking at Lin Siyu’s serene, beautiful face beside him, Zhang Xiaofan smiled. He resolved to find a way to help her cultivate, as well as Chen Yuanyuan. These two women had treated him so well; he could not let them down.

Not wanting to disturb Lin Siyu’s rest, he closed his eyes and continued cultivating for a while. Around seven in the morning, Lin Siyu woke up.

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan’s sharp, captivating eyes, she couldn’t resist planting a kiss on him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaofan pulled her close and kissed her passionately.

Feeling that he might not stop, Lin Siyu hurriedly broke free, blushing. “Bad boy, I still have to go to work. How about tonight?”

“All right,” Zhang Xiaofan released her, knowing it was too early and that Lin Siyu, as CEO of the Lin Group, had many matters to attend.

He himself had refined a two-hundred-year-old wild ginseng last night, which naturally stirred his passions—especially with such a stunning woman nearby.

“Are you uncomfortable?” Lin Siyu glanced at him, noticing his obvious arousal.

“It’s nothing, it will pass soon. Ginseng is a powerful tonic, that’s normal,” Zhang Xiaofan said.

“Thank you for your hard work... I have something important to attend today; otherwise, I would stay with you,” Lin Siyu felt a bit guilty, imagining how difficult it must be for him. Yet, his understanding made her feel truly happy.

They went downstairs and had breakfast before Zhang Xiaofan drove Lin Siyu to the Lin Group.

With Lin Siyue gone, Zhang Xiaofan stayed in the vice president’s office, cultivating a bit before realizing no further progress was made. He then opened his computer and browsed the web casually.

Soon, his phone buzzed with a message from Du Yuefeng.

“Got news. Check your email for the information,” it read.

Zhang Xiaofan’s face lit up. The news from Du Yuefeng was undoubtedly about the Yin-Yang Fish.

He quickly opened his secret email and found a message from Du Yuefeng.

The email contained some clues and photos. The half piece of the Yin-Yang Fish Stone was in the capital city, though its exact whereabouts were unknown.

Still, this was enough—knowing the location narrowed down the search and made it more efficient.

Zhang Xiaofan sighed slightly; he needed to head there soon.

“Brother Fan, may I come in?” a gentle voice called from outside.

Looking up, Zhang Xiaofan saw Hua Yue’er, dressed in a standard white-collar office suit. Whether intentional or not, her neckline was rather low...

“Come in,” he nodded.

Hua Yue’er stepped in gracefully, her high heels clicking as she walked with a catwalk stride. Today, her hair was down, she wore black-rimmed glasses, a tight skirt that seemed a bit short, and black stockings—exuding a unique allure.

Zhang Xiaofan, who had just calmed down, suddenly felt restless again...

No denying it—the two-hundred-year-old wild ginseng was incredibly potent.

“Xiaoyue, what brings you here?” Zhang Xiaofan tried to steady himself and asked.

“I noticed you haven’t been around for days, so I came to check on you,” Hua Yue’er said softly. “I haven’t properly thanked you yet. Those people returned the money they swindled from my father, and that Mr. Zhao even found a great job for him.”

“Heh, that’s excellent,” Zhang Xiaofan nodded. Zhao Kai had handled things quite well.

“So, I was wondering if you’re free for lunch today? I’d like to treat you,” Hua Yue’er said expectantly.

Zhang Xiaofan wanted to agree but Lin Siyu was nearby—it didn’t seem appropriate.

“I’m having lunch with President Lin, so...” he replied.

“President Lin went to a meeting and won’t be back until afternoon,” Hua Yue’er whispered.

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback; it seemed Hua Yue’er had come prepared. He couldn’t let her down.

With his improved mindset, Zhang Xiaofan no longer deliberately restrained himself, acting freely and naturally—a stark change from before.
