Chapter 32
On a side note, she felt very energetic and full of life. ‘Don’t people always say that you always get head-splitting hangovers after getting drunk? Was I drunk at all?’
Leng Yejin was lying in bed with a hand behind his head. There was an air of after-sex fatigue around him. The woman’s chirpy voice rang in his ears. It was practically noise. His lips curled and formed a delightful curve. ‘Super hot brother-in-law?’
As it seemed, she did understand her place and did know that she was the one who had benefited from having s*x with him.
She had encountered a natural high quality facial mask, a super effective all-purpose medicine and a super hot man — all at once!
Leng Yejin fished around and found his phone. He dialed Ji Yiming’s number. Soon enough, Ji Yiming’s sleepy voice rang out from the phone speaker. “Mister, do you know what time it is? Five thirty! You called me at five thirty! My beauty sleep is ruined. Will you take responsibility for that? In today’s society, a man doesn’t just need wealth and medical skills to do well in life. He’ll need to be handsome too!”
Leng Yejin put on a steely expression and yawned. “Her wound has healed.”
He then simply hung up and went back to sleep.
“What? For real? I’m coming right away. When did she recover? How did it happen? Did you pay attention this time?” Ji Yiming immediately became wide awake. He spat out a string of questions over the phone, as though he had just taken some stimulants. He was eager to get more information. But when he took a good look at the phone screen, he found that Leng Yejin had hung up. ‘How heartless! Is he even human? He called me early in the morning, evoked my compulsive professional curiosity and then hung up on me?’
‘No, he wasn’t human at all! Only gods or demons are able to heal someone in such a kinky way!’
Ji Yiming quickly got dressed. He wanted to study this normal human male who turned into an insanely powerful god-like being after a disaster and find out how this man healed others. If he managed to complete the research, he would be an icon in the medical world!
Leng Yejin rolled onto his side and suddenly furrowed his brows. That woman woke up way too early. ‘Does it mean that I wasn’t putting in enough effort last night? Don’t people always say that women will feel exhausted and their bodies will be sore?
‘Besides, she woke up at five thirty. That was so soon and simply an insult to his ability!’
Leng Yejin was so sleepy that he could barely open his eyes. His whole body had gone limp and lifeless. The look on his face was grim and pale. ‘Perhaps this woman can drain a man’s energy! She’s a soul eater!’

There was a mirror near a stairway in the APEC building.
Tong Lu walked past the mirror countless times. Every time, she would take a glance at her own reflection in the mirror. She was not delusional or imagining things. Tong Lu was puzzled, wondering how the wound on her face healed. ‘Was it because of the medicinal ointment from that sloppy Dr. Ji? It worked so quickly!’
After she accidentally took some aphrodisiac, the condition of her skin had improved significantly. ‘But why?’
Tong Lu discovered that her skin had remained silky-smooth and perfectly moisturised for a week. Many people had asked her what kind of facial mask she was using. She wondered how long it would last this time.
Tong Lu suddenly had the urge to see the result. She could not help but pinch herself in the cheek. She was completely wrapped up in how good her skin looked.
It was time to raise the flag. The national anthem rang out from the speakers in the central plaza in the APEC building.
Like the others, Tong Lu faced the early morning sun and started humming the national anthem quietly. She watched the bright-colored flag rise and felt very proud of the prosperity and greatness of this nation.
In the early morning, as the flag rose and fluttered, a long line of cars slowly drove into the central plaza. The attendees filed into the venue.
Tong Lu stood on top of the stairs and saw Leng Yejin get out of the car from afar. Her face instantly turned red. She was staring openly at him without worrying about being seen by him. However, Leng Yejin, who arrived with people crowded around him, straightened his clothes and suddenly looked up. His hawk-like gaze was sharp and instantly captured the sight of a woman in the building — the woman who had completely worn him out last night.
