Chapter 16: Show Some Respect to Her, Call Her Sister-in-law:
Listening to the mission released by the system, Yun Bufan rubbed his chin.
He had an even better idea regarding this Tears of the Mermaid necklace. He would definitely make Su Chen spit blood when the time came.
Knock knock!
The door was knocked, and Yun Bufan thought it was Shen Qingxin, so he went to open it.
Unexpectedly, it was Aunt Zhang standing outside.
"Bufan, have you been staying at home recently?" Aunt Zhang asked.
Yun Bufan nodded, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang's face lit up with joy. "That's great. You should take this opportunity to build a relationship with the young madam."
Aunt Zhang earnestly advised, "Don't be fooled by her disfigurement. She has a particularly good personality. Believe me, she is a rare good woman."
"Well... you give this to her." Aunt Zhang handed Yun Bufan a bowl of soup, "This is the chicken soup I stewed. Just tell her I stewed it at your request."
Yun Bufan felt somewhat emotional. Aunt Zhang was really wholeheartedly good to him.
"I understand. I'll take it to her later," Yun Bufan promised with a smile.
"Hurry up, or it'll get cold. You need to be patient and proactive with girls," Aunt Zhang instructed before leaving.
Yun Bufan shook his head helplessly and returned to the room. Just as he had set down the bird's nest, the door was knocked again.
This time, it was Shen Qingxin.
She still wore a mask, revealing her delicate features, and held her coat in her hand.
"I've come to return your coat," Shen Qingxin said.
Yun Bufan pointed to the sofa, "Just leave it there."
Shen Qingxin had never been into this room before. After hesitating for a moment, she walked in.
As soon as she put down the coat, Yun Bufan pointed to the chicken soup on the table and smiled, "This is stewed by Aunt Zhang. She asked me to tell you I made it. You should drink it first, and don't waste her kindness."
Shen Qingxin looked at Yun Bufan with surprise.
She seemed quite astonished by his sincerity.
Aunt Zhang often stewed chicken soup for Shen Qingxin, saying it could help with scar recovery. Shen Qingxin had quite a good impression of Aunt Zhang.
Without saying anything, Shen Qingxin picked up the chicken soup and began to eat it slowly.
Yun Bufan took out his phone and happened to see a voice message from Fina.
He casually played it, and a sweet voice came through—
"Young Master Yun, when are you going to invite me out again?"
Shen Qingxin's body stiffened, and her expression turned cold.
Just as she was about to leave after putting down the bowl...
Suddenly, her breathing became rapid.
"What's wrong?" Yun Bufan noticed her discomfort and walked over.
"I don't know, I feel hot," Sweat beads formed on Shen Qingxin's forehead.
"Uh oh, could it be..." Yun Bufan picked up the bowl of chicken soup and smelled it. There was a medicinal fragrance.
Could it be that Aunt Zhang put something in it?
"No, I have to leave here!" Shen Qingxin seemed to understand something and immediately tried to escape.
Suddenly, a voice came outside the door, "Where's Shen Qingxin? I've said the first floor's hygiene is her responsibility, just look at how dirty it is!"
Shen Qingxin covered her pounding heart, "What should I do?"
If she went out like this, Yun Lili would definitely mock her.
"It's okay, I'm here," Yun Bufan said, then walked to the door.
"Brother, have you seen Shen Qingxin? This woman eats our Yun family's food, drinks our Yun family's drinks, and doesn't even clean up. I have to teach her a lesson!" Yun Lili said arrogantly.
Yun Bufan sneered, "You also eat our Yun family's food, drink our Yun family's drinks. What work do you do?"
"I—"
Yun Lili was speechless.
"From today, she doesn't have to do any chores. Also, show some respect to her and call her sister-in-law," Yun Bufan reprimanded with a serious expression.
Yun Lili was dumbfounded.
She thought the change in Yun Bufan's attitude toward Shen Qingxin last time was just an accident.
She didn't expect Yun Bufan's attitude toward Shen Qingxin to really change.
After Yun Lili left dejectedly, Yun Bufan returned to the bedroom, only to find Shen Qingxin already lying on the bed.
Aunt Zhang was really heavy-handed.
Yun Bufan couldn't help but laugh and cry.
But now wasn't the time to forcibly win over Shen Qingxin.
With this cautious and intelligent woman, he had to proceed step by step.
He turned and walked toward the bathroom.
Two hours later.
Shen Qingxin opened her eyes and was scared when she found herself lying in Yun Bufan's bedroom.
Then, a cold towel fell from her forehead.
"Awake?" Yun Bufan's voice came from the sofa.
"You've been helping me with the cold towel all this time?" Shen Qingxin's eyes flickered with disbelief.
Yun Bufan nodded, "Yes, your forehead was too hot. I was afraid something might happen to you."
Shen Qingxin lowered her head and found that her clothes were slightly disheveled, but it should have been done by herself.
Phew!
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I'll leave now. Thank you for just now," Shen Qingxin bit her lip and blushed with embarrassment as she prepared to leave.
"Oh, by the way, did I say anything just now?" Standing at the door, she asked somewhat worriedly.
Yun Bufan replied indifferently, "You didn't say anything."
"That's good." Shen Qingxin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave. However, Yun Bufan's following words made her stumble—
"I just said, 'Husband, I want you.'"
Watching Shen Qingxin's hurried departure, Yun Bufan couldn't help but smirk.
She really was a simple woman.
Shen Qingxin returned to the bedroom and closed the door, leaning against it.
"Damn, how could I say that? It must be Yun Bufan tricking me!"
Shen Qingxin touched her flushed cheeks.
After a moment, her expression softened.
"But, he didn't do anything while I was unconscious. I guess he's not that bad."
Shen Qingxin muttered to herself, "I don't mean I like him, just an objective evaluation."
On the other side.
[Ding! The system detected that Shen Qingxin's favorability value toward the host increased by 2000 points. You can choose to decrease Su Chen's luck value or increase your luck value]
"Increase my luck value."
A smug smile appeared on Yun Bufan's lips.
[Ding! The host's luck value increases by 2000 points, currently totalling 2000]
Yun Bufan stretched lazily.
Although his luck value was still far from Su Chen's, it had already surpassed most people.
This was a good start.
