Ye Nanshen glanced at Lu Chengzhou, “What are you afraid of? Little Qi is giving you a gift. Why wouldn’t you accept it?”

Lu Chengzhou hesitated. “Shen, am I not your dearest cousin? Do you have any idea what kind of woman your wife is?”

Rong Qi turned to look at Ye Nanshen. “So, what kind of woman am I?”

Ye Nanshen replied, “Kind-hearted. And rather gentle.”

Rong Qi faced Lu Chengzhou again. “Did you hear that?”

Lu Chengzhou widened his eyes and roared, “Shen, does your conscience not hurt saying that?!”

Rong Qi, losing her patience, stuffed the small bottle back into her bag. “Fine, forget it. It’s your loss. Shen, let’s go home. I’ll cook dinner for you as a celebration.”

Today was, after all, a day worth celebrating, and Ye Nanshen was overjoyed at the prospect. He looked at Rong Qi adoringly. “Alright.”

With that, Ye Nanshen took Rong Qi’s hand and they turned to leave. However, just as they did, they heard Lu Chengzhou’s voice from behind them. “Wait. I’ll take it. You owe me that.”

Anything gifted by Rong Qi had to be valuable and hard to come by. So, Lu Chengzhou reluctantly decided to trust her one more time.

“Alright,” Rong Qi nodded. She calmly uncorked the bottle and poured its contents into Lu Chengzhou’s palm.

But just seconds later, everyone saw a scorpion, its tail arched menacingly, now perched on Lu Chengzhou’s hand!

“Ahh—help, it’s a scorpion!” Lu Chengzhou frantically tried to shake it off.

But the scorpion seemed determined to stick with Lu Chengzhou. He ran, and it followed. Even the stoic Zhuang Ling and Xu Yi felt a chill run down their spines at the sight. They couldn’t help but wonder why such a venomous creature was in Rong Qi’s pocket.

Rong Qi watched Lu Chengzhou scuttle away and felt a bit better. “I’m giving you this scorpion as a pet. By the way, its name is Orangie.”

Having said that, Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen finally turned and left, leaving a fleeing Lu Chengzhou with a small scorpion chasing after him.

The moment Ye Nanshen heard that Rong Qi would cook him dinner, he was impatient to fly back home to Clearcreek Mansion, and he complained that Xu Yi was driving too slowly.

Xu Yi felt unjustly accused. He swore the car was practically airborne at this speed. His driving skills were commendable, and Rong Qi felt quite comfortable. This was speed. She had decided that from now on, Xu Yi would be her chauffeur at this standard. She could always use a bonus to incentivize him if necessary.

Rong Qi looked out of the window, and just then, a shrill screech of tires echoed in the air as Xu Yi almost swore aloud. Their car skidded to a sudden stop on the road! If not for Xu Yi’s skill, they would have crashed. Even the airbags deployed.

‘Damn it!’ Rong Qi cursed inwardly.

Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen in the back seat were also jolted forward due to inertia. In a split second, Ye Nanshen’s arm reached out to pull Rong Qi into his embrace, shielding her head. He, however, hit the back of the front seat quite hard.

When the car came to a halt, Ye Nanshen frowned and helped Rong Qi up. “Little Qi, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Rong Qi said, sitting up but also worried that he might be hurt. She asked, “Are you alright?”

“I’m okay,” Ye Nanshen assured Rong Qi. Only then did she nod and look at the Lincoln limousine that had cut them off, her clear eyes filling with a trace of anger.

Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen got out of the car, and so did the people from the other vehicle. A familiar figure emerged.

Sheng Jian looked at the two visibly upset young people and wore a slightly apologetic expression on his face.. “Would you believe me if I said I merely wanted to invite you both to dinner?”
