Chapter 14

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Ming Qianye was working, she would often enter a state of self-absorption. By the time she finished writing nearly ten pages of summary analysis, it was almost three in the morning…

She would not feel tired when she was focused, but once she relaxed, she would feel exhausted. She tidied up and washed up before going to bed to rest.

…

The next morning, it was already eight in the morning when Ming Qianye woke up.

She quickly got up and washed up. She put on a simple light makeup and found a dress in the wardrobe to change into.

Her skin was very good, and she was a cool beauty. She had a strong presence and did not need too much makeup.

…

At this moment, in the dining room downstairs.

Breakfast had already been laid out on the dining table. Shen Tinglan sat in front of the dining table with a cup of steaming tea in his hand. There was tea brewing in the thermos at the side, and the candle flame at the bottom was burning weakly. The air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

After taking the medicine yesterday and sleeping soundly, his fever subsided in the middle of the night. The butler even brought him half a bowl of porridge to eat, so he seemed to be in a much better mood today. The paleness on his handsome face had also faded a little. His exquisite facial features and noble aura made people not dare to look at him directly.

A tall and handsome man sat beside him. He had a flamboyant handsome face and bright attractive eyes. There was a smile on his lips and he looked like a leisurely young master. He was his good friend, Long Yao.

“What are you doing here?”

Shen Tinglan asked quietly, lowering his eyes. He took a sip of tea.

“I chatted with Tang Feng in the middle of the night last night and found out that you’re not feeling well. I came to visit…”

Long Yao replied calmly as he poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. In the next second.

“Pfft—”

He spat out the tea in his mouth and frowned. “Cough cough… What is this! It’s so bitter… Is it for humans to drink?”

Long Yao questioned his existence. He looked at the clear tea juice and frowned tightly as he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

Shen Tinglan glanced at him calmly and admired his expression. He seemed to be in a good mood.

“Medicine tea to nourish the body. It’s for half-dead people,”

Shen Tinglan said indifferently, but Long Yao’s expression suddenly turned serious when he heard that. He hurriedly said, “Don’t spout nonsense. Fourth Brother, your body has already recovered a lot from before. As long as you rest well, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old.”

Shen Tinglan didn’t reply for a long time. Long Yao took a deep breath and looked at Shen Tinglan silently. His eyes couldn’t help but turn solemn as he sighed.

“Fourth Brother, I didn’t expect you to really get engaged to Powerful Qian! Are you taking things too hard? How is she good? Why are you making things difficult for yourself? Look at your body. Can you withstand a beating from Powerful Qian? She’s so cold and boring. She doesn’t have the gentleness and consideration that a girl should have. She’s a workaholic. If you marry her, what kind of happiness can you have? With her stony appearance, she would look through the globe telescope much more intimately than she would look at you… What are you thinking?”

Just as Ming Qianye reached the stairs, she heard a familiar voice coming from downstairs. She quickly determined that it was Long Yao’s voice!

During that time, they often played together. Long Yao was a chubby little boy who liked to provoke her for no reason. Hence, she would beat him up until his face was bruised and swollen every time, making him cry and go home to find his father…

So, he was referring to her as ‘Powerful Qian’ now?

“Give up, Fourth Brother! Break off the engagement and find someone who knows how to care for and love you. You can live a more relaxed and happy life! No matter what, you have to find someone gentle and beautiful. The most important thing is to be obedient and docile… I have a cousin who’s not bad. She was brought over to that gathering previously. Do you still remember? Not only is my cousin a master chef, but she’s also a violinist. Her personality is also very good. She also admires you so much. How good would it be if the two of you could be harmonious in the future! A man has to find someone who loves and admires him deeply…”

“Look at Powerful Qian’s face, which is as old as the dean of the Academic Affairs Office. It’s so tense that there’s no gentleness to speak of. When you sleep with such a face at night, you will dream of being punished to your naughty corner… Besides, she only has education and astronomy in her heart, not you! You’re not interested in women. It’s so awkward to be tied together intimately. Can you bear to do it? Can you feel it? You have to find the kind that’s pure and docile. My cousin is one. She’s cute and loving. It’s very difficult to deal with a cold woman. Not to mention that Powerful Qian is training. She’s thinking about the day when she can ascend and become an immortal…”

Long Yao really felt that Shen Tinglan and Ming Qianye were really not compatible. Only those old men would think that they had a chance. The two of them were like two big blocks of ice. It would be strange if they could get along!

Shen Tinglan turned a deaf ear to Long Yao’s words and continued to drink the tea in his cup. In the next second, he suddenly raised his head slightly and looked up the stairs with a silent gaze.

At this moment, Long Yao also realized it. He also heard a cold and rhythmic noise.

It was the sound of high heels walking on the cold floor.

He subconsciously raised his head and was stunned for a moment. He could not help but be stunned.

He saw a woman walking down the stairs. She was dressed in a long black and white dress. Her long wavy hair reached her waist. Her figure was exquisite and perfect. Her cold and beautiful face was almost flirtatious. Her facial features were exquisite. Her black high heels revealed her fair ankles. Her long and slender legs were faintly visible. Her eyes were bright yet as cool as autumn water. Her indifferent lips were a powerful red. She had the aura of a cold and noble queen…

This aura was really comparable to Fourth Brother’s. If such a woman joined their business world, she would probably be a strong woman. Ordinary people would not be able to withstand it, moreover combined with this woman’s terrifying skills and shocking talent…

As expected of the Moon Goddess, Powerful Qian!

Looking at her appearance, she could definitely score 100 points. However, with her personality, Long Yao felt that he could only give her 30 points and not more!

Ming Qianye glanced at Long Yao disdainfully and quickly walked to Shen Tinglan’s side to sit down. Long Yao happened to be sitting opposite her.

Shen Tinglan’s eyes flickered as she reached out to move the teapot beside her.

Long Yao was still in a daze. He thought about what he had just said. Could it be that Powerful Qian had also heard it?

When he thought of how he had been taught a lesson by this Powerful Qian, Long Yao could not help but sweat for himself!

“How do you feel? Has your fever subsided?”

A cold voice was heard. When he looked up, Ming Qianye was pouring milk for herself. However, she was obviously talking to Shen Tinglan.
