Meanwhile, Qi Linyuan returned to his residence, clutching his wound.
Assistant Lu Zhiyang was anxiously pacing back and forth at the door.
As soon as he returned, they immediately went forward and helped him up.
"Lord of the city, you're finally back! I told you to send someone to blow up the ship, but you insisted on going yourself."
They didn't see your face, did they?
"No." Qi Linyuan shook his head.
"I am, after all, the city lord of Shanghai. Although I hate them for selling pornographic films, I won't openly break ties with them."
"That's good, that's good. Although the Green Gang's armed forces aren't very strong, they are still a large gang that has been around for hundreds of years. We don't need to confront them head-on."
Lu Zhiyang breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then began to worry about Qi Linyuan's injuries:
"And your injury..."
"It's alright, it's been bandaged up on the outside."
Lu Zhiyang's heart jumped again:
"Did you get your wound bandaged at a small clinic? What if it gets infected? Quick, quick, I'll go back and get you a doctor..."
"It's nothing. It wasn't a small clinic. It was someone I met while hiding from Huang Huang who bandaged me up."
His bandaging technique was very professional; there was no need to call a doctor.
At this point, Qi Linyuan couldn't help but think of Si Jin's androgynous and stunningly beautiful face.
A blush crept up her earlobe.
Seeing this, Lu Zhiyang's initial worry gradually turned into gossip:
"Is that person a man or a woman? Is she good-looking? How tall is she? What's her build like?!"
Qi Linyuan frowned, recalling carefully:
"He's incredibly handsome, up to my shoulder in height, and has a great build..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly realized something, shoved Lu Zhiyang aside, and said angrily:
"Why should I tell you all this? Get out of my way."
After saying that, he turned around and strode back to his room.
Watching Qi Linyuan's departing figure, Lu Zhiyang felt a sense of satisfaction.
His city lord has finally started to get involved with women!
very nice.
No, he had to offer incense to the old city lord and tell him—
His son has made something of himself.
The Qi family has an heir!
… …
inside the house.
Qi Linyuan skillfully burned his blood-stained clothes, destroying the evidence.
After quickly wiping herself down, she lay back down on the bed to sleep.
However, Mingming had been running around all night.
But now, I just can't fall asleep.
He couldn't help but recall Si Jin's voice and appearance in that dilapidated woodshed.
As I was thinking about it, my body started to feel... a little off again.
Qi Linyuan: ...
That's not right!
Could it be that he failed at so many blind dates because he actually didn't like women?
But he hasn't been interested in any man all these years!
Lu Zhiyang, and even his subordinates, including several of his assistants who held lower positions than him, were all quite good-looking.
After watching it for so many years, he still didn't feel anything.
Why was I so attracted to that actor?
Qi Linyuan felt increasingly uneasy, so he finally got up and went to the bathroom.
I filled the bathtub halfway with cold water and sat down properly inside.
This way, the water won't touch the wound, and it can also calm your feverish head.
as well as……
… …
Peach Blossom Garden.
Qin Jiangli's arrival kept everyone in the garden extremely busy.
With no one coming to disturb her in the backyard, Si Jin had a good night's sleep.
The next morning, she found all the original owner's savings from all those years and prepared to go out and buy two men's outfits.
However, just as he stepped out the door, he saw a short, chubby servant push the door open and enter.
It was his roommate, Ai Xiaoqian, who lived in the woodshed.
The moment Ai Xiaoqian saw Si Jin, she couldn't help but pause.
His eyes were wide open, and he stood frozen in place, as if petrified.
How could he not know that there was such a beauty in his little shabby house?
She's even more beautiful than Shu Yidie, the top singer at the Fairy Palace.
However, it only took him a moment to realize what was happening.
The beauty before me, isn't that Pei Sijin?
Thinking of this, Ai Xiaoqian's eyes instantly turned from love to disgust, and she looked away in disdain.
Pei Sijin used to like to imitate women's makeup, but her clothes were always inappropriate.
However, none of them were as exquisite and beautiful as the makeup looks now.
That awkward cheongsam, lifted by his cool and aloof demeanor, seemed tailor-made for him.
But so what if he's handsome?
The thought of a man imitating a woman by applying makeup is enough to make him vomit his dinner from the night before!
Ai Xiaoqian went out shopping yesterday and only returned this morning.
I haven't even had a chance to hear about the showdown between Si Jin and Huang Huang yet.
Naturally, he had no respect for him.
They spoke coldly to each other as before:
"The front hall is swamped with work because of Qin Jiangli, what are you still doing here?!"
Is she going to impersonate a woman again to seduce young master Zhou?
You idiot! Don't you even know if they'd even want you?
"Hurry up and change into your servant's clothes and come with me to make tea for our distinguished guests!"
"No." Si Jin resolutely refused.
“I can sing opera. I used to be a famous actor who was popular all over the country. I am different from you.”
