The strong man's gaze shifted, then settled on Wei Wei's face, before settling on it again.
His voice carried a strange familiarity, and he uttered only the word "King".
This reminded Wei Wei of that young master Wang.
Like an immortal, every glance and smile exudes elegance.
"That's a nice surname."
As if possessed, she blurted out a compliment.
Then he heard the strongman chuckle softly and reply, "Thank you."
The sound was too soft, but the tail turned again, brushing past Wei Wei's ear like a feather.
It made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
She instinctively touched her ear and found it was already slightly hot.
Wei Wei felt like she was going crazy.
Is it because she hasn't dated a man in two lifetimes that she becomes strange after meeting one?
She shook her head, banishing the absurd idea from her mind.
"I'll leave this to you tonight."
She probably had something to hide, because she was too embarrassed to even lift her head.
"You're welcome."
Wang Zhuangshi's voice was extremely relaxed. He looked down at her long eyelashes fluttering, and his voice softened a bit: "Are you ready? Let's go."
Wei Wei nodded vigorously: "Please be careful when you arrive, Mr. Wang. Make sure the Qi family doesn't find out."
"Um."
Wang Zhuangshi readily agreed, and with a gentle pull of his long arm, he drew her to his side.
Wei Wei heard him whisper in her ear, "I'm sorry."
The two of them flew out of the Meng residence.
The brief feeling of weightlessness made her instinctively hug Wang Zhuangshi's waist.
She felt it was very elastic to the touch, and the waistline was also perfect.
I wonder what it would feel like to pinch it.
The thought startled her; if they weren't in the air, she would have run away in terror!
Seeing that her body swayed slightly to the side, Wang Zhuangshi tightened his grip on her waist.
He held her body firmly before asking in a low voice, "Miss Wei, are you feeling unwell?"
"Is your injured hand a little sore?"
Wei Wei wanted to slap herself. How did she suddenly become obsessed with male beauty?
One isn't enough, do you want another one?
It must be because I've been under too much pressure lately and haven't been able to release it.
Once she's done with all this busy work, she's going to gallop away on horseback!
Her mind raced through a jumble of ways to vent, but she finally answered his question honestly: "I'm fine, I was just dozing off."
Wang Zhuangshi remained silent for a moment, perhaps also feeling speechless.
Wei Wei scratched her head vigorously and sighed as if her heart had given up.
Fortunately, we will be arriving at the Qi residence soon.
Her heart began to live again.
It was late at night, and apart from the lights still hanging in the corridor, the rest of the place was pitch black.
Wang Zhuangshi seemed to have already found out where Wei Cheng lived, and stopped directly in the courtyard where she lived.
The courtyard was eerily quiet; apart from the flickering light from the lanterns hanging under the long corridor, not a single person could be seen.
Wei Wei was unsure of Wei Cheng's location and was momentarily at a loss.
Wang Zhuangshi looked around a few times, and finally looked in the northwest direction.
"The person we're looking for is probably over there."
Wang Zhuangshi pointed to the other side: "There are still lights on."
Wei Wei tentatively took a few steps in that direction and sure enough, she saw the lights on.
In the small side room, Wei Cheng was reading a book with her head down under the lamplight.
However, her gaze lingered on one page, and she didn't turn it for a long time.
Wei Wei stood by the window and deliberately knocked on the window frame to draw her thoughts back.
Upon seeing her, Wei Cheng excitedly stood up to open the door.
Looking at the energetic Wei Wei, she frowned and asked with concern, "I've heard about what happened during the day... How badly are you injured?"
After saying that, he wanted to check on Wei Wei's injury.
Wei Wei smiled and let her pull open her sleeve, revealing that the injured area was wrapped in gauze, with blood faintly showing through.
A look of reluctance flashed in Wei Cheng's eyes, and a hint of heartache, barely perceptible, also appeared in Wang Zhuangshi's eyes.
The injured person, however, said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just a small wound."
She has already made Jiang Changhe pay an even more painful price.
If it's worthwhile, then it can be considered a success.
Given how quickly this news spread, the entire city of Loucheng should know about it by tomorrow.
The Jiang family, which had only just established itself here, would then become universally hated.
Their desire to quietly integrate into Loucheng was destined to be unrealistic.
Upon hearing this, Wei Cheng's eyes reddened: "This is just a small scratch? Women care most about their appearance. What if it leaves a scar in the future?"
She looked at Wei Wei and said, word by word, "Next time, if you can avoid hurting yourself, you must never joke around with your body again."
"If others don't cherish you, you should always cherish yourself."
Seeing the worry on her face, Wei Wei felt a warmth in her heart: "Yes, yes, I will definitely be more careful in the future and won't be so careless again."
She changed the subject: "How is your brother now?"
Wei Cheng's expression turned grave upon hearing this: "He is not yet fully awake."
"The doctor said there's only a 50% chance of him waking up."
She took a deep breath: "But we won't give up."
Wei Wei felt a lump in her throat for a moment: "It will be alright, everything will be alright."
Upon hearing this, Wei Cheng smiled slightly: "Yes, such a dangerous situation has passed, my brother will definitely pull through."
Wei Wei offered a few words of comfort, and only after Wei Cheng had calmed down did she get to the point: "Time is of the essence, and I can't stay here for too long. If you have any questions, ask them now."
Upon hearing this, Wei Cheng curled the corners of her lips, a flash of hatred crossing her eyes: "I've drugged the water used in this entire courtyard today; they won't wake up until dawn."
At this point, he added with regret, "Although I really wanted to just kill them, it would only be a temporary solution. I can't rest easy until I find the mastermind behind all this."
She looked like Wei Cheng twenty-two years later.
He is stern and unsmiling, and will stop at nothing to seek revenge.
But she is also kind-hearted and willing to lend a helping hand.
Wei Wei laughed: "You're quite bold, but this is still extremely risky. If someone outside discovers something amiss, who knows what might happen?"
Unlike other places, the Qi family here will definitely take immediate action if they are suspected.
She spoke again seriously: "This thing can be placed on one person, but it's not appropriate to drug everyone in the yard."
"Try to avoid it next time."
Wei Cheng nodded: "I know."
Then they pulled the person into the house, where hot tea was already waiting.
The maid who had gone to Ping'an Temple last time poured a cup of tea for each of them, curtsied to them, and then quietly withdrew.
Wei Cheng invited Wei Wei to sit down, a subtle glint in his eyes: "Madam Qi, this is how my dear mother-in-law fell ill."
