Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 5 - 5 5 The Live-in Son-in-law
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Several hours later, the train finally reached East Sea City.
As Ye Xuan, clutching his worn snake-skin bag, surveyed the vibrant metropolis, a clear voice called out from behind him, halting his departure.
“Hey, Ye Xuan, could you wait up for me!”
Ye Xuan turned, spotting Lu Miaochan rushing towards him.
“Miaochan, what is it?” Ye Xuan inquired, finding himself face-to-face with the lovely Lu Miaochan.
“Ye Xuan, where are you headed?”
Lu Miaochan gazed upward at Ye Xuan, a pang of reluctance suddenly blooming in her chest.
“I’m off to meet a friend. Miaochan, are you perhaps going to miss this handsome fellow?” Ye Xuan jested with a grin.
Lu Miaochan’s cheeks flushed. She lowered her gaze to her feet, softly murmuring, “Ye Xuan, you gave your word you’d come find me.
You mustn’t forget, alright…”
“Rest assured, I won’t forget,” Ye Xuan chuckled.
“Hmph, you’re not allowed to tease me like this anymore!”
Lu Miaochan huffed, playfully tapping Ye Xuan a few times with her small fists. However, these gentle blows landing on Ye Xuan’s frame felt more like the affectionate sparring of a couple.
“For a woman to fall for a man, he must possess a touch of roguishness; that’s universally the first rule of attraction!
When I act a bit naughty towards a woman, it signifies she’s successfully captured my interest, and she ought to be wary!
What do you think about that, Miaochan?” Ye Xuan posed the question earnestly.
“I…
I…” Lu Miaochan stammered.
“Hmm?
Speak up, I can’t quite hear you.”
Ye Xuan tilted his head, listening intently.
“Ye Xuan, I’ve just reached a realization: you are truly an incorrigible narcissist!”
Lu Miaochan’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she declared this.
What?
A narcissist?
Blast it, have I miscalculated my approach?
This wasn't the intended outcome!
Ye Xuan stood utterly bewildered.
He took a moment to observe Lu Miaochan from head to toe before stepping closer.
“You…”
Before she could utter another word, Ye Xuan planted a kiss upon her lips.
“Miaochan, don’t play games testing my patience,” Ye Xuan said, a smile gracing his lips as he looked at her.
“…!”
Lu Miaochan shot Ye Xuan a furious glare, her eyes seeming to convey a wish to grind her teeth to dust.
“Miaochan, I’ll see you later. I really must hurry to meet someone, so I can’t stay to keep you company,” Ye Xuan stated.
Noticing Lu Miaochan’s rising anger, Ye Xuan wisely decided to make a swift exit.
“You absolute scoundrel!
Just vanishing like that, so utterly irresponsible!” Lu Miaochan stomped her foot in frustration.
She remained oblivious that Ye Xuan’s bold actions had already sown the seeds of affection within her heart!
This man’s presence could no longer be expunged from her memory.
…
Huaxi Garden, the pinnacle of luxury residences in East Sea City.
Villa No. A88 belongs to the esteemed Lin Family, originating from Dongyang City.
At this very moment, a taxi drew to a halt outside the gates of the Lin Family villa. Ye Xuan, his snake-skin bag in hand, alighted.
Gazing upon the opulent mansion before him, Ye Xuan’s eyes gleamed.
“So, it turns out my betrothed is from a wealthy family. Does this mean I’ll be living a life of leisure from now on?”
Ye Xuan mused aloud, his attention then drawn to the numerous servants actively moving in and out of the estate, engaged in preparations for an impending banquet.
“The Lin Family certainly knows how to make guests feel welcome.
I’ve only just arrived, and they’ve already orchestrated a welcoming reception for me.
Quite impressive, wouldn’t you say!”
Ye Xuan remarked with undisguised satisfaction, slinging his snake-skin bag over his shoulder and making his way towards the villa.
“Halt!
You are not permitted entry.”
A man clad in a crisp black suit intercepted Ye Xuan’s path. He gave Ye Xuan a thorough once-over, then stated with obvious disdain, “Let me make this clear, we have personnel designated to handle individuals of your ilk; you’d best be on your way immediately!”
With his shabby snake-skin bag slung across his back and clad in worn jeans, Ye Xuan bore the unmistakable appearance of a migrant worker newly arrived in the city. How could they possibly allow such a person into the villa!
Glancing at the magnificent villa ahead, then down at his own attire, Ye Xuan couldn’t resist touching his nose and quipping, “Are you quite blind, mistaking your master’s son-in-law for some lowly scavenger?”
What?
Son-in-law?
The man in black appeared taken aback, seemingly failing to grasp the implication.
“Indeed, son-in-law!”
Ye Xuan, with practiced flair, ruffled his bangs and proclaimed confidently, his head held high, “Lin Tong is my wife. Consequently, I am your family’s son-in-law. Now, stand aside!”
“Lin Tong?”
The man in black’s shock was palpable; that was indeed the name of the young mistress!
Could this fellow genuinely be the young mistress’s husband?
What kind of preposterous jest was this!
Furthermore, wasn’t the young mistress’s fiancé supposed to be Young Master Song from the Song Family? Since when did this status fall upon some mere vagrant!
