The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

Chapter 389 - 389: At Least Stay for an Hour!

"..."

Qin Feng was bewildered.

The Mu Family was really willing to spend a fortune, actually willing to offer two billion, asking him to pursue Mu Jiangyue, which left him speechless.

"Really can't handle it, add another billion?"

Elder Mu suggested again.

"Cough cough."

Qin Feng said embarrassingly, "Elder Mu, I'm here for another matter."

"Is there anything more important than the matter of marriage!" Elder Mu exclaimed.

"..."

Qin Feng was rendered speechless and looked towards Master Guo, implying that he should come up with a solution.

Master Guo chuckled and then addressed Elder Mu: "I think..."

He had just started speaking when Elder Mu noticed there was another guest, and asked Qin Feng who this person was.

"He is the Hall Master of Hundred Herbs Hall, Guo Huaiqiu."

Qin Feng introduced him.

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Hundred Herbs Hall is a Hidden World power.

Although it is not large in scale, it is an existence they look up to!

From how the Southwest Eight Kings, who were only Half-step Masters including the Poisonous Insect King Bai, were overly polite to the point of reverence, it shows how severely split the Southwest Eight Kings were, making them weak enough that even a Half-step Master could make them kneel.

And Hundred Herbs Hall doesn't lack Half-step Masters, even Hall Master Guo himself is one.

So.

Having a Half-step Master visit was truly an overwhelming honor!

When Qin Feng saw their attention was all drawn to Hall Master Guo, he whispered to him, "I'll leave this to you, I'm bailing out!"

Taking advantage of everyone's excitement in offering tea to Hall Master Guo, Qin Feng and Ai Yeqing hurriedly left.

They left the hall.

With a sigh of relief, Qin Feng said, "Finally made it out!"

Ai Yeqing, standing beside him, looked up at him and said, "I knew you were a jerk, but I didn't expect you to be this much of a jerk!"

"Me, a jerk?"

Qin Feng was puzzled.

"What do you think? When leaving Yanjing, you spent three to four hours in a hotel room with that Liu Yunmei, and here you flirt with Miss Lin'er, not to mention you have an engagement with Lin'er's sister. If you're not a jerk, what are you?"

Ai Yeqing sneered.

"Stop it, I only love my wife."

Qin Feng said.

Just as the words left his mouth.

At that moment, Mu Jianglin came looking for him, excitedly grabbed his hand, and said, "Qin Feng, dinner is ready, let's go eat!"

Seeing the sparkle in her eyes as she looked at him, Qin Feng couldn't bear to hurt her feelings and let her lead him by the hand to the dining room...

Ai Yeqing muttered grumpily behind them, "Jerk, just a huge jerk, huh!"

Night fell, and all was quiet.

After dinner, Qin Feng, fearing the elders would bring up the engagement again, headed back to his guest room to rest early.

He had been out and about these days and was indeed exhausted.

After a comfortable shower, Qin Feng had barely remembered to head to bed when he heard someone knocking on the door.

It was Ai Yeqing.

Seeing him with only a towel around his lower half, Ai Yeqing blushed and said, "How shameless can you be!"

"I was about to sleep, what are you doing here?"

Qin Feng hurried into the bed, removed the towel, and covered himself with the blanket.

"I'm worried you might harbor ill intentions towards Miss Lin'er again, so I came to remind you, you have a wife!" Ai Yeqing said.

"..."

Qin Feng blinked in bewilderment.

She is really meddling too much!

"Shouldn't you know what sort of person I am by now? The two times we slept together, nothing happened," Qin Feng said in frustration.

"You, you..."

Ai Yeqing, face red with anger.

Every time she thought about the two instances they had slept together, and each time she woke up his hand was inside her collar, she got angry.

But to say he's a hooligan!

He didn't really seem to have done anything that would make him a hooligan.

This left her at a loss for words.

"Alright, go back to sleep!" Qin Feng said impatiently, yawning.

"Hmph, you better keep yourself clean, and don't hurt anyone," Ai Yeqing grumbled discontentedly, "otherwise, I'll tell Master!"

After saying this, she left.

Qin Feng was speechless.

Was this the only reason she came?

After Ai Yeqing left, she felt gloomy and happened to run into Master Guo heading towards another bedroom.

Seeing her look upset, Master Guo asked, "Lady, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing!"

Ai Yeqing replied in a muffled voice.

"I understand!" Master Guo paused to think for a moment, then as if suddenly enlightened, he laughed and said, "Haha, Lady, you must be jealous because the Lord mentioned there's a marriage arrangement here, right?"

"Pah, it's your jealousy, your whole family's jealousy!"

Ai Yeqing glared at him and hurried away.

She had gone quite far before stopping, muttering to herself, "Jealous, me? Impossible! I don't have any feelings for him; he's just my master, and he has a wife, how could I be jealous?"

"But why is my heart... beating so fast?"

"Right! It must be because I've been walking a lot! Yes, that's it! I'm not jealous! Not at all!!"

...

Inside the room.

Qin Feng yawned again, preparing to have a good sleep.

Then someone knocked on the door again.

Qin Feng was exasperated and said, "Didn't I say it already, I would absolutely not treat my wife unfairly, why do you keep coming!" C#on&t$en!t# s#o^u+rc*e#d. fr+o&m *^ – My Vi-r#t*ua!l L@ib!r&ar&y^ Empi#r!e*.

The door opened.

The person who entered was Mu Jiangyue.

Seeing her, Qin Feng said sheepishly, "Uh, sorry, I thought it was Ai Yeqing again."

"Oh…"

Mu Jiangyue felt a bit embarrassed and just stood there.

Qin Feng, seeing this, asked suspiciously, "Is there something?"

"It's like this, I… can I stay in your room a bit?" Mu Jiangyue spoke, "Don't get me wrong, this wasn't my idea, it was, it was my grandfather, my uncle's idea."

"I see."

Qin Feng instantly understood.

It must be to promote their relationship and hasten the marriage, that's why they let her come to his room.

"I'll only stay for five minutes then leave," Mu Jiangyue said.

"Don't!" Qin Feng hurriedly said, "At least stay for an hour, or maybe two."

"Huh? Why?"

Mu Jiangyue's heart couldn't help beating faster.

This was the first time he had asked her to stay for so long.

"Oh, if you leave so soon, they'll think I'm too weak. Staying a bit longer is also a form of respect for me," Qin Feng said, slightly embarrassed with a strained smile.

"..."

Mu Jiangyue was suddenly full of dismay.

Thinking she was being presumptuous.

"Right, I came to look for you, there's something I want to discuss," Mu Jiangyue said. "I think... to merge into your company."

"Oh? Why?"

Qin Feng was puzzled.

Mu Family was once one of the Southwest Eight Kings.

Now six of the kings have been brought down by him, making Lord Dog rise to power.

Which means, throughout the Southwest, apart from Lord Dog, Mu Family is the biggest family now.

And Mu Family has been a family dealing in medicinal herbs for centuries, passed down through generations.

Why would they now be willing to merge into another's?

"It's because of the Medicine Field."

Mu Jiangyue said, "Once the Medicine Field succeeds, it will be an earth-shaking event in Hua Country, definitely attracting attention from countless people. Frankly, with the Mu Family's power alone, we can't protect it."
