Chapter 39 - Ungrateful!

“I believe you,” said Li Muyang.

Although Yan Xiangma was a frivolous man, he knew what he should do and what he should not.

This was how Li Muyang understood him.

Moreover, after the last conversation, Li Muyang knew he was not a bad person. At least, Yan Xiangma didn’t look bad enough now. Otherwise, it would not have been such a friendly end when they first met.

As the Young Master of the City Lord Mansion, Yan Xiangma could have all kinds of experts help him and was capable of doing everything.

Li Muyang had broken the table in front of him, but it was not the real reason why Yan Xiangma was afraid. Li Muyang didn’t know what a real master looked like, but he knew clearly that the guy who could release the light of the sun around Cui Xiaoxin was not a person he could compare with.

This was also the reason why when Li Muyang was in a dilemma, he was willing to believe that Yan Xiangma would take care of his parents. If Li Muyang had had a bad impression of him, he would never have entrusted his family to him, and would rather have stayed with his parents than went to take the exam and pursued his dream of going to the Xifeng University.

“What?” Yan Xiangma was stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Muyang asked, “What did you say? Believe me? You believe it’s not a laxative?”

“I believe you won’t hurt my family,” Li Muyang said with a smile. He grinned, and his smile was as pure and vigorous as a young man’s. He looked totally different from when his eyes were bloodshot with a fierce look on his face. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked you to take care of them.”

“You didn’t ask me for a favor, you demanded me to…” Yan Xiangma said angrily. He felt that he did not perform well in the previous negotiation in which he obviously had the upper hand but ended up being forced. “But I’m telling the truth. The laxatives—no, it’s indeed the antidote. It’s for detoxification. There are the ingredients of Sun Grass in it.”

Li Muyang nodded and said, “I know. Is there any more soup?”

“Yes. We have cooked a big pot of soup. Except for the big bowl that our Young Master has drunk, the rest is still hot.” Li Dalu added.

“…” Yan Xiangma looked at Li Dalu mournfully. “You are f*cking good at rubbing salt in my wound.”

“Thank you.” Li Muyang spoke to Li Dalu before he went into the kitchen and brought two bowls of medicine soup. One bowl was fed to his father, and the other was for Li Sinian.

Li Sinian shook her head desperately and said, “I don’t want to drink it. It’s black and bitter, and I will have diarrhea.”

“You have to,” Li Muyang said in a soft voice, looking at her pityingly. “You still have the poison in your body, so you must get rid of it. Otherwise, it is harmful to your body—even if it is not life-threatening now, who knows what injury it will cause to the internal organs?”

Li Sinian still shook her head. She was afraid of tasting bitterness.

So, Li Muyang pinched her nose and forced her to drink up the medicine soup.

After drinking the soup, Li Sinian covered her mouth and shouted. She said angrily, “Li Muyang, I hate you. It’s so bitter.”

Li Muyang put the empty bowl aside and said, “If I were you, I would go back to my room immediately.”

Li Sinian was smart. After taking a look at Yan Xiangma, she immediately got up and ran to her room.

Li Muyang shook his head and chuckled. He really loved his little sister.

Yan Xiangma looked at Li Sinian’s back in a daze as she ran away. After a long time, he came to his senses. He walked over to Li Muyang and asked, “Li Muyang, is Sinian your sister?”

“Yes.” Li Muyang nodded. When he saw Yan Xiangma’s expectant face, he looked at him alertly and said, “Why do you ask this?”

“You aren’t siblings, are you?” Yan Xiangma asked.

Upon hearing Yan Xiangma, Li Yan, who was drinking the soup, almost choked to death.

He stared at Yan Xiangma with an angry face. “What are you talking about, Yan Xiangma? Li Muyang and Li Sinian are both my children, and they are siblings. Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know the truth,” he shouted furiously.

Yan Xiangma smiled and apologized to Li Yan. “I didn’t mean to say that. I just think that there is a big difference between their appearances,” he said.

He looked Li Muyang up and down seriously and said, “I am not the only person who thinks in this way. If they go out together…”

“They are brother and sister wherever they go,” Li Yan rudely interrupted him.

Li Muyang glanced at Yan Xiangma, indicating him not to continue this topic. He knew that his father did not like to hear people suspect that he and Li Sinian were not biological siblings. They went to the street together once when they were young and people wondered if the little girl behind him was adopted when they knew she was his sister. Hearing this, his father was in a particularly bad mood back then. On the contrary, his mother was gentler, smiling, and explaining to others that her eldest son had an illness when he was a child, so he was not very healthy.

Li Yan was a warrior. Although he was not in a high realm, his physical quality after years of hard work was always stronger than ordinary people’s. Li Sinian had practiced the “Qi-breaking Technique” with her master since she was young. It seemed that she didn’t work very hard, but she had been persistent for a long time and was smart enough, so she could be considered to have learned some basic skills.

Luo Qi was the weakest among them, so she was the last one to wake up.

The first thing she did after she opened her eyes was to look for Li Muyang. Seeing Li Muyang standing by her side safe and sound, her eyes reddened with tears. She rushed over and hugged Li Muyang, saying, “Muyang, are you okay? Are you hurt? Where did the bad guy go? Where are your father and your sister? Are they all right?”

“Mom, they are both alright,” Li Muyang said with a smile, holding his mother’s body tight. “My father and sister are fine. We are all fine.”

“Great. That’s really great…” Luo Qi’s eyes were full of tears. She tightly held Li Muyang and refused to let him go.

After almost being killed, she had realized the value of life.

After Li Muyang comforted his mother and fed her a bowl of detoxification soup, he finally arranged everything well for his family.

Li Muyang walked to the side of Yan Xiangma and said gratefully, “Master Yan, thank you for taking care of my family this time. I will remember this in my heart. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you.”

“You’re welcome,” Yan Xiangma waved his hand with a smile and said. “We’re both young people and you’re my cousin’s classmate. We’re a family. Don’t call me Master Yan. It is for outsiders. You can just call me Cousin, just like you used to do.”

“Okay, Cousin!”

“Yes, that’s what it should be. By the way, I’ll go upstairs to see what’s going on with Sinian right now. I’m afraid she’ll suffer a stomachache for a while after taking the medicine. I have some Taoist pills here…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Xiangma was about to run upstairs.

“Yan Xiangma, stop right there!” Li Muyang shouted behind him.

“I just want to see…”

“No way.” Li Muyang blocked in front of Yan Xiangma in a very rude way.

“Can I express my concern at the door?”

“No.”

“I just helped you—”

“I’ve said that I’ll repay you.”

“Can’t I collect a little interest first?”

“No.”

“Li Muyang, you are so ungrateful.”

“Yan Xiangma, you are greedy and lascivious… ”

…

Cui Xiaoxin pushed the door open and went into the yard while Li Muyang and Yan Xiangma looked at each other with wide eyes. Neither of them would step back.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, as the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a lovely and seductive arc. She asked, “Did I enter a zoo?”
