When Ling Long and Yin Yin came downstairs for breakfast, it was almost noon.

So they changed breakfast into lunch.

Yin Yin’s walking posture was a bit awkward, and Ling Long inwardly chuckled as he watched her.

“Don’t laugh!” Yin Yin suddenly turned her head and looked at Ling Long sharply.

Ling Long was slightly stunned. “Did I laugh?”

“I heard it.” Yin Yin hissed and narrowed her eyes. “You were laughing at me in your heart!”

Ling Long really laughed this time. He pulled Yin Yin and lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead. “We really are connected through the heart.”

Yin Yin frowned at him. “So you admit it?”

“It’s your husband’s fault.” Ling Long admitted his mistake, but his eyes were full of smiles.

Yin Yin snorted and found the nearest place to sit down. Ling Long sat down beside her, and a waiter came over to wait for their order.

Ling Long looked at Yin Yin and asked, “What do you want to eat?”

“Hmm……” Yin Yin thought about it carefully. “I heard that the crispy duck in Songlin County is very famous. Give me one. I also want braised pig trotters, braised fish in brown sauce, beggar’s chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed pork slices. Oh, that’s right, give me a basket of steamed crystal dumplings too, one basket for each type of stuffing.”

Waiter: “……”

He was stunned for a long time before he could put up a smile and asked, “Objectively speaking, you order so much, can the two of you finish eating them all?”

Ling Long smiled and said to the waiter, “You can just bring them all here.”

The waiter wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Okay, I will go now.”

Ling Long waited for the waiter to leave then looked at Yin Yin meaningfully. “Faintly, you order so much, it couldn’t be……” His eyes swept across Yin Yin’s flat abdomen. “you are with child, ba?”

Yin Yin almost sprayed out the tea in her mouth. “Y-you’re the one with child!”

Ling Long chuckled lightly and said, “You aren’t? Then it seems that I have to work harder.”

Yin Yin: “……”

You have worked very hard, really.

When Yin Yin had almost eaten half the dishes on the table, she noticed a familiar figure approaching.

Yin Yin’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch. Even when she traveled to Songlin County she could still meet Du Qianqian. This is really…… ‘enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road’.

Du Qianqian was also very surprised when she saw Yin Yin and Ling Long. She originally came to Songlin County with Princess Luo to celebrate her aunt’s birthday. They were supposed to return to the capital today, but the princess suddenly felt unwell, so they decided to stay for another day.

This Baiwei Lou (hundred flavour restaurant) is a century-old shop in Songlin County. She just came here today with a maid because she wanted to taste the craftsmanship of Baiwei lou’s chefs, but she didn’t expect to meet Ling Long and Yin Yin.

Ling Long followed Yin Yin’s line of sight and saw Du Qianqian standing stiffly at the door. His eyebrows creased together.

He can still remember who pushed Yin Yin down Yundai Valley at that time.

Had it not been for the fact that the Yin family still had some affection for her, and that she was Prince Luo’s daughter, he would never give up on this matter. Seeing her again, he naturally would not give her a good face.

After Du Qianqian froze in place, she turned to the maid behind her and said, “Hongrui (red bud), let’s find another place to eat.”

Although she didn’t know why the little princess changed her mind, but as a servant girl, Hongrui just nodded her head docilely. “Yes.”

Du Qianqian was about to turn around and leave, but before she could step out, she was pushed back. “Beat it, beat it! Don’t block the door way!”

Hongrui hurriedly stepped forward to protect Du Qianqian, separating her from the big fellow with her body. “Who are you? How dare you be so rude to my family’s princess?”

Yin Yin looked at the situation at the door, and the corner of her eyes jumped once again. This play is really getting better and better.

Isn’t that man with the scar the one who picked a quarrel with them on the painted boat yesterday?

Hearing Hongrui’s words, the big man turned his gaze behind her and fell on Du Qianqian. “Princess? This little face really looks beautiful ah.”

“Impudent!” Hongrui yelled out courageously. “How dare you talk like that to the princess? Aren’t you afraid that the prince will skin you alive?”

“Oh, I’m really scared!” The big man pretended to be frightened while covering his chest, then he viciously stared at Hongrui. “Let me tell you, in Songlin County, this old man is the emperor!”

The shopkeeper ran over from the counter sweating profusely. He said with an appeasing smile, “Sir Huang, a grown man such as yourself wouldn’t get mad at two little girls, isn’t that right?”

Huang Si snorted. He went around Du Qianqian and looked towards Yin Yin’s table. “You’re lucky today. This Lord is looking for them!”

Yin Yin’s eyelids jumped. Could this person came to them for revenge? Wasn’t he beaten enough yesterday?

Huang Si walked over and placed the sword from his waist on the table with a ‘bang’. “Young Master Lin, right? I heard you came to Songlin County to do business?”

Ling Long didn’t even want to look at him. “What is it to you?”

“Heh!” Huang Si suddenly laughed. “You don’t even know me, and you dare to come to Songlin County to do business? It’s ridiculously funny!”

The several minions behind him laughed cooperatively.

“Shopkeeper.” Ling Long called out softly. “Can you drive them out? They are bothering us while we’re eating.”

The shopkeeper suddenly looked bitter. He leaned closer towards Ling Long and whispered in his ear, “Young master doesn’t know. This Huang Si is a bully in our Songlin County. You’d better not mess with him.”

Huang Si raised his head proudly and pointed his nostrils at Ling Long.

After hearing the shopkeeper’s words, Ling Long finally raised his head and looked at Huang Si. “Huang Si, the leader of Changhe (long river) Gang. You have two younger sisters. One is the crown princess, and the other is married to Songlin County’s magistrate. Speaking of which, the magistrate of Songlin County today depended on you to get his position.”

The stunned look on Huang Si’s face immediately disappeared. “Since you know, why don’t you hurry up and apologize to me?!”

“Heh. What a joke.” A smile appeared on the corner of Ling Long’s mouth and he looked at Huang Si with cold eyes. “Why should I apologize to a man who relied on woman to prosper?”

Huang Si’s face immediately became ugly. “I think you are really tired of living!” He said, but he paused and his eyes turned to Yin Yin. “But forget it, this lord is very magnanimous. As long as you are willing to leave this exquisite lady here, I’ll write off your account.”

Ling Long’s eyes suddenly turned glacial. He glanced at Huang Si, and the later couldn’t help shaking.

He picked up the sword on the table and said fiercely, “You’d better see the current situation clearly. Don’t fail to appreciate someone’s favor!”

“It’s you who can’t see the situation.” Ling Long closed his eyes, concealing the murderous intent in them. “How do you think your sister became the crown princess with her birth? The crown prince just wants to win over the Jianghu forces using your hand. If he can really ascend to the throne in the future, do you think there will be a place for your sister in the palace? Not to mention that the prince’s position is not stable. Today he is still the crown prince, tomorrow…… maybe he will become a prisoner.”

Huang Si frowned and said to Ling Long, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just talk about the imperial family’s matter?”

Ling Long gave a faint smile. “Don’t mention anything else. Just talk about the little princess over there.” Ling Long’s eyes moved to Du Qianqian, and she straightened her back nervously.

“That’s a real princess. If you offend her, Prince Luo will blame you, and the crown prince will not be able to protect you. It should be said that the crown prince is not so stupid to offend Prince Luo for you. Not mentioning the crown prince, I’m afraid that even your sister will also choose him between the two of you.”

Huang Si’s face changed into different colors. Hongrui snorted and puffed up her chest proudly.

In the end, Huang Si actually smiled at Ling Long. “I can’t offend them, but I can offend you!” He said that as he slashed the big sword in his hand towards Ling Long’s direction. Because Ling Long was afraid that he might hurt Yin Yin, he deliberately led him elsewhere. Unexpectedly, Huang Si’s subordinates seized the opportunity to hold Yin Yin’s arms.

Although Yin Yin’s martial art is poor, it was not a problem to deal with these small-time thugs. But at this time she had a sore waist and weak legs. Even walking was a problem, let alone beating someone with a sword.

“Master! I’ve caught the little beauty!” One of the underlings shouted at Huang Si like he was asking for some credit. Huang Si laughed loudly. “Good job! Be careful not to hurt the little beauty. You can get a reward when you go back!”

“Go back?” Ling Long coldly looked at the knife pointed towards Yin Yin. “None of you can even think about going back.”

The underling was so frightened by the overwhelming murderous aura and was about to move the knife closer to Yin Yin’s neck while yelling ‘Don’t come here’, but before his fingers could move, the person in front of him suddenly disappeared!

Then there was a sharp pain in his right hand. The underlings’ grip loosened and the knife fell to the ground with a ‘clang’. A scream resounded through the sky.

The bones on his hand were actually crushed by Ling Long.

The man fell to the ground while screaming and Yin Yin fell into Ling Long’s arms. Ling Long hugged Yin Yin’s waist and asked softly, “Faintly, are you hurt?”

Seeing Yin Yin shook her head, Ling Long turned his attention back to the people of the Changhe Gang.

The screams made by one of the underlings just now were frightening to hear. All the people of the Changhe Gang stood there with pale faces, watching the person on the ground cry with pain.

“W-what are you all waiting for?! Support me!” Huang Si gave an order, but no one dared to move.

He spat and came over himself with a sword in his hand. Ling Long’s eyebrows twisted slightly. Blocking Yin Yin behind him, he turned Huang Si over to the ground with ease. The whole process was too fast, and everyone could only hear Huang Si screaming like a pig.

When they could see clearly, Ling Long had already trampled Huang Si’s face under his feet. Huang Si’s facial expression was extremely distorted. Ling Long just looked at him coldly and said in a low voice. “Today, I will let the words ‘Changhe Gang’ disappear in the Jianghu.”

“You…… Based on what?” Huang Si asked these words tenaciously even though he was already delirious with pain.

Ling Long smiled and finally looked at Huang Si. “Just because I am Ling Long.”

The two words ‘Ling Long’ immediately made Huang Si half awake. The leader of the Spider Web, Ling Long, it’s not too much to say that he holds the lifeblood of the entire Jianghu. Not only that, even in the palace many people relies on his intelligence business to preserve their lives.

It seems…… He had offended the person he couldn’t offend the most.

After everyone from the Changhe Gang had left, Ling Long glanced at Du Qianqian standing by the door. “Princess.”

Du Qianqian’s heart suddenly felt suffocated. She clenched her fists and adjusted her disordered breathing. “What can I do for you, Young Master Ling Long?”

Ling Long looked at her and said, “In the future, I will ask the princess to stay away from my wife.”

Du Qianqian’s heart inexplicably ached. She looked at Ling Long for a long time before slowly saying, “Please rest assured, Young Master Ling Long. Qianqian won’t have anything to do with her anymore.”

Ling Long retracted his gaze. He picked Yin Yin up and walked upstairs. “That’s better.”

Du Qianqian stood at the door for a while before leaving Baiwei Lou with Hongrui.

Back in the room, Ling Long sat down on the bed with Yin Yin in his arms. He leaned down and kissed her for a while before asking, “Did you got scared just now?”

Yin Yin blushed and shook her head. She whispered, “If it wasn’t because last night you-…… I wouldn’t be caught so easily.”

Ling Long naturally understood what Yin Yin hadn’t said. He smiled and touched Yin Yin’s forehead. “You’re saying that it was because of your husband again, right?”

“Of course it’s because of you!”

Ling Long had a smile on his face, but his hands started to wander around Yin Yin’s body again. Yin Yin was so frightened that she turned pale. “You-…… you are simply a beast!”

Ling Long just doesn’t care. “En. I am.”

Yin Yin: “……”

Ling Long said as he pulled Yin Yin’s collar down, “Didn’t you think I am not working hard enough? I will make up for it now.”

This is not what I mean at all, alright?

Ling Long couldn’t help but pressed Yin Yin under him and whispered in her ear, “Faintly, do you want a boy or a girl?”

Wait! There seems to be something wrong!

Ling Long saw that Yin Yin hadn’t answered, so he took care of it himself. “Then let’s have a boy and a girl.”

Yin Yin: “……”

She cannot utter a word now. Because her mouth was blocked by Ling Long again.

Yin Yin is very worried now. Will she die in bed in this life?

……

Ling Long, you beast! Beast!


Small Theater:

Faintly (like a boat swaying in the wind, climbed on Lingling’s shoulder): Ling Long…… I still don’t know…… your real name (I was eaten by you, beast!) ……

Lingling (continuing to work hard): My real name…… I have told you a long time ago……

Faintly (a pear-blossom-bathed-in-the-rain thought hard): Ah…… Is it Lin Yuqi? (the pseudonym used by Lingling when he first came to Yin Jiazhuang)

Lingling (kissing Faintly’s lips): Yes ah.

The end~ 🙂
