The next day.
Su Chen woke up in the hospital room, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Yes… you heard that right. He too had been carried into a hospital room—for “special care.”
After all, the Bai family’s influence covered all of Jiangcheng. A private hospital was nothing for them.
Bai Zihang was in the room next door, but there was nothing separating them. His face was wrapped in bandages, swollen like a pig’s head.
“Hello, good morning, Young Master!”
Su Chen raised his hand to greet him, only to realize his hand was also wrapped in bandages.
What the hell? He hadn’t even been injured.
“Morning, Brother Chen!” Bai Zihang replied with delight, grinning brightly as if he was in a great mood.
Brother Chen?
Su Chen froze. What’s going on? Why did the form of address suddenly change after just one night?
Then, after hearing the “truth” from Bai Zihang, Su Chen nearly spit his drink all over his face!
According to Qin Yuwei’s account of the events, here’s what had happened:
After Bai Zihang was beaten half to death by Ye Xuan, Su Chen had rushed forward and fought fiercely with Ye Xuan, getting seriously injured in the process, ultimately saving Bai Zihang’s life.
That was also why Su Chen was wrapped in bandages—he had to play the part all the way…
[Holy crap 0.0! That woman really does have a crush on me!]
[Confirmed. Absolutely confirmed!]
Otherwise, Su Chen couldn’t figure out why she would make up such a perfect lie in his favor.
“Thank you, Brother Chen! If it weren’t for you…” Bai Zihang’s eyes grew sorrowful, his voice choked with emotion. “If it weren’t for you…”
[If it weren’t for me… you might not have even gotten beaten up…]
Of course, Su Chen only thought this to himself. He would never, ever say it out loud. Not in a million years…
“If it weren’t for you, I’d be dead!” Bai Zihang said, tearing up on the spot.
He even suggested buying incense and yellow paper, proposing that they swear brotherhood in front of Lord Guan Yu. The more he talked, the more absurd it became. He looked like he wanted to do the ceremony right there. This story is hosted at novelping dot com.
Then suddenly, Bai Zihang had a brilliant idea…
And right at that moment, the hospital room door opened.
A stunningly beautiful woman appeared before them.
Her waist was so slender one could wrap a hand around it. She was flawlessly beautiful, like a fairy who had descended from the heavens.
Her enchanting eyes sparkled with a seductive glow, swirling with charm, as if they could pull one’s soul in completely.
This woman was Bai Gucheng, the female lead—and Bai Zihang’s biological older sister.
The genius idea that just struck Bai Zihang?
Was to make Su Chen his brother-in-law!
This way, he could keep such a rare talent by his side forever.
Bai Zihang couldn’t help but praise his own brilliance.
“How are you feeling? Are you alright?”
Bai Gucheng was known for her stunning beauty, impressive figure, silky voice, and cold demeanor. An Absolute Goddess.
Even when speaking to her own little brother, she carried a commanding tone, radiating a domineering aura.
It wouldn’t be surprising if every one of those bossy-girl lovers out there would beg to lick her feet just for a chance to be near her.
“Sis, I’m fine. Let me introduce someone—this is…” Bai Zihang began to introduce Su Chen.
Qin Yuwei’s version of the story was already ridiculous enough—some so-called fierce battle or whatever.
But now?
Under Bai Zihang’s storytelling skills, it had evolved into a life-or-death struggle. Punch after punch, five hundred rounds with no clear winner.
“Finally, he saved your little brother’s life!” Bai Zihang said respectfully, bowing to Su Chen, “I have nothing else to offer in return—so I present my elder sister to you! May Brother Chen accept her with joy!”
Smack!
Bai Zihang’s pig-headed face suffered yet another blow. He fainted again on the spot.
Bai Gucheng didn’t hold back in the slightest…
Even Su Chen, watching from the side, winced on his behalf. Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
[Bai Gucheng… she’s ruthless.]
[It’s a shame, such a beautiful woman. In the end, she’ll go from being the villain’s sister to becoming part of Ye Xuan’s harem.]
[And when the Bai family finally falls before Ye Xuan, Bai Gucheng will betray her own blood and become his woman.]
[I swear, the logic in these cheap wish-fulfillment novels is so dumb and nonsensical.]
[But oh well, as long as readers feel satisfied, who cares about logic?]
…
“I’ll become part of Ye Xuan’s harem?” Bai Gucheng wasn’t surprised at all.
Ever since she began hearing Su Chen’s inner thoughts, she had sent people to investigate Ye Xuan.
And to think—this was a novel’s world?
As a living character inside it, how could she not feel disturbed?
Still, now that she was here, she had to deal with it.
She quickly came up with a plan—and that’s why she came to this room.
Yes, she didn’t come to check on her brother. She came to see Su Chen.
“Sit in the wheelchair. I have something to say to you.”
Bai Gucheng commanded coldly.
“Uh… Miss Bai, I…” Su Chen pointed at the bandages on his body. It didn’t seem easy for him to get on.
The real issue was that he had to keep playing the role of a seriously injured man. Getting into a wheelchair by himself would just feel… wrong.
Bai Gucheng looked around the hallway but didn’t see a single nurse.
Most likely, the private hospital staff assumed she had come for a private discussion, so they all stayed far away.
After all, the help had no right to listen in on rich people’s business.
With no other option, the alluring Bai Gucheng walked over to Su Chen herself, preparing to help him into the wheelchair.
