Tang Li looked at him and asked, âHave you found everything I asked you to?â Situ Huang fell silent.
Tang Li snorted. âSince you canât find all the herbs, how am I supposed to treat your son?â
âI said Iâll pay you and let you help us find
it.â
âThen wait. Do you think itâs easy to find those herbs? I have to go out and find them.â
Situ Huang was rendered speechless again. He gave in again and asked, âThen can Fourth Madam give me a time?â
Tang Li thought for a moment. âThat depends. Maybe a month, maybe half a year.â
No matter how anxious Situ Huang was, it was useless. Tang Li planned to find Yuan Yuanâs soul first. As long as Situ Jin did not seek death, he would not die anytime soon.
Tang Li said, âDidnât I prescribe you some medicines? Itâs used for rejuvenating his body. Make sure he has these medicines on a regular basis so that when the time comes, the herbs will be more effective.â
These words finally made Situ Huang look at ease. He nodded and went to drink with the others.
Normally, people didnât have the chance to drink with Qi Yihan, so today, they were all making toasts to him.
Looking at Qi Yihan drinking glass after glass, Tang Zitong panicked. âFourth Sister, does Fourth Brother-in-law have enough tolerance for alcohol.â
âDonât worry.â Tang Li took a sip of her wine. Looking at Su Ziqing, who had returned before her. Tang Li asked, âCousin, where did you go? I heard from Second Sister that you disappeared the moment you arrived.â
Su Ziqing looked calm as usual. âI went to the garden. I just didnât want to interact with people I donât know, so I sat in the garden for a while.â
At this point, she suddenly smiled. âI saw Cousin making those people drink and perform in the garden.â
Hearing that, Tang Zitong couldnât help but chuckle. âAt that time, I was so angry when those people laughed at Fourth Sister because she had no talents. But now that I think about it, Fourth Sister said that because she wanted them to be cocky so that theyâd make a fool of themselves.â
âDidnât Cousin play the guqin and suona at the celebration party of the Qi Group and KL Group? Arenât our instruments considered instruments?â
âI think thatâs what theyâre thinking. Just wait and see. One day, Iâll make them all come to my store and buy our instruments.â
âWe have to make them feel that playing an imperial instrument is the most honorable thing!â
âThis is a good idea.â
At this point, the three of them started laughing. Tang Li exchanged a few words with the two of them before she was called to see another group of women. This time, these women were much friendlier than the ones before.
Everyone was just chatting casually, talking about jewelry, gossip, and drinking, looking happy and harmonious.
At past ten oâclock, many men were drunk and the guests left one after another.
Tonight, the Tang family was also considered as honorable guests by many people. The few men from the Tang family drank a lot.
Looking at the people who were swaying as they walked, Tang Li said, âYou guys can stay here tonight. First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Second Cousin are so drunk. Iâll get the kitchen to send them some hangover soup later.â
Tang Zitong did want to stay here, but when she thought of Yu Meng at home, she was a little worried. âLin and Huan are the only ones at home with Yu Meng. Iâm worried that Yu Meng will be scared.â
Su Ziqing suggested, âYou can call Yu Meng and ask.â
Tang Zitong thought for a while and nodded. She called Tang Lin and asked her to give her phone to Yu Meng.
Unexpectedly, Yu Meng told her not to worry, that she would be fine.
Su Ziqing added, âYu Meng is already 18 years old. You canât treat her like a child. Besides, donât you have a nanny to take care of her?â
Tang Zitong was persuaded and stayed here overnight.
Tang Li asked Butler Yang to arrange the rooms for them to stay.
After the Tang family was led away, Tang Li and Qi Yihan sent the guests off.
After sending all the guests away, it was already past 11 pm.
The two of them returned to their courtyard.
As soon as Tang Li entered the living room, she took off her shoes. As she took them off, she said, âAfter wearing high heels for the entire night, I feel like my feet are no longer mine.â
In the next second, her body was carried up.
âAhâ¦â
Tang Li exclaimed and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Qi Yihanâs neck. She blinked and asked, âYihan, what are you doing?â
âThe floor is cold. Iâll carry you back to the bedroom.â
The corners of Tang Liâs lips curled up. She leaned her head on his shoulder and smelled the alcohol on his body. She asked, âHow much did you drink today? The smell of alcohol is so strong.â
âProbably a dozen.â
âThat much!â Tang Li was shocked. Then, she smiled and said, âLuckily, you took the medicine I prepared for you in advance. Otherwise, youâd be stoned.â
âDonât worry, I can handle it.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âReally?â
âNo matter how much I drink, I wonât get drunk until Iâm somewhere safe.â
Tang Li was stunned for two seconds. Then, she tilted her head and kissed his neck. She said with a smile, âThatâs good. This way, you wonât be taken advantage of by others.â
Recalling his habit of swimming whenever he was drunk, she asked, âWhy do you like to swim every time youâre drunk?â
âMmâ¦â Qi Yihan thought for a moment and told her,â I feel safe in the water.â
Tang Li was amused by this explanation and sniffed his neck. However, at that moment, Qi Yihan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Tang Li raised her head to look at him in confusion. âWhy arenât you moving?â
Qi Yihanâs gaze turned deep, and even his voice was hoarse. âIf you keep rubbing against me, I donât think we can make it to the bedroom.â
âMmâ¦â
Without a warning, he sealed Tang Liâs lips with his, not giving her a chance to talk back.
After a long while, he let go of her and whispered into her ear while she was panting.
âMadam, you havenât forgotten our agreement, have you? Tonight⦠We can try the position on the video you watched before.â
Tang Liâs face instantly turned red. Not wanting to get intimidated by him, she grabbed his tie and said slowly, âLetâs try then.â
Qi Yihanâs lips curled up. After swallowing his saliva, with Tang Li in his arms, he quickened his pace towards the bedroom.
After he entered the bedroom, Qi Yihand immediately slammed the door shut.
The next day, when Tang Li opened her eyes, it was already noon.
When she moved, she felt her body was limp.
Luckily, she had applied some body ointment on her body, so she didnât feel much pain..
As Tang Li lay there lazily, her stomach started to complain.
âIâm so hungry!â
At that moment, there was a commotion by the door.
Tang Li quickly looked in the direction of the door and saw Qi Yihan walking in with a tray.
There was porridge on the tray, crystal prawn dumplings, and a plate of salted vegetables made from various seafood.
Tang Li stared at the tray and gulped.
Qi Yihan looked at her and smiled. He walked to the bed and placed the tray on the bedside table. He sat down and asked her, âDo you want me to feed you or do you want to eat it yourself?â
Tang Li moved her fingers and felt that they were soft. She said without hesitation, âI want you to feed me.â
Qi Yihan sat her up and put his arm around her waist before feeding her a mouthful of porridge.
After Tang Li finished eating, she narrowed her eyes and said with enjoyment, âI think todayâs breakfast is the best.â
Qi Yihan chuckled and whispered to her, âIf you work hard at night, Iâll bring you delicious food every morning.â
At that moment, Tang Li suddenly felt a little shy. Her face blushed and she pushed his shoulder unhappily, âYou pervert.â
