Chapter 105 - Husband or wife, who is more ruthless? Part 2

Hangzhou city:

A huge mansion in the middle of the city:

Correction - A huge, but still not big enough mansion in the middle of the city...

A pure white expensive leather couch had been pushed into the corner, with smudges of greenish-brown goo at different parts of it.

On top of that white couch, sat a devilishly handsome man, who was currently almost shoved in an awkward pose, with his feet folded up on the couch.

Luther's lips twitched, as he stared daggers at Squirrel, who was on a path to destroy the delicate balance that existed in this somewhat peaceful household.

Surprisingly Luther was not the only person sulking.

Runyan was sitting on the other corner of the room, in the crystal table setting, which had also been abandoned like roadside trash.

She was even gnashing her teeth in a little bit of jealousy and a lot of possessiveness.

Who does this Squirrel guy think he is?!!

"I have been training with sis for much longer than him!!! Technically I should be her disciple or whatever!", she bit her lips in frustration.

While these two were silently brewing in their obvious jealousy, Su Lin and Squirrel were busy studying herbs and going over the herbology basics in detail.

And they did that, for some reason, in a very elaborate way.

Actually, this one was on Squirrel rather than Su Lin. He is a very meticulous guy by nature.

Even before Su Lin had agreed to be his supposed Master, he had already ordered and shipped overnight, every different kind of herb, both dry and fresh, he could get his hands on.

And as soon as Su Lin said yes, he dragged her after the work out to officially start their disciple-mentor relationship.

Su Lin who was a born workaholic just gave him a thumbs up and they both started this ridiculously and unnecessarily spread out herbs ȧssorting and studying process, leaving behind a very disgruntled Runyan and Luther.

Runyan had even tried her best to interject herself in between but felt completely out of her depth.

Squirrel was a textbook genius and Su Lin had an unfathomable experience when it came to herbal medicine.

What was a poor ordinary girl supposed to do, caught between these two monsters!!!

He was a born fighter, a genius in multiple combat styles, but when it came to something like this, he too was a fish out of the water.

Breaking this slowly and steadily building up animosity in the living room, a new person, suddenly entered the mansion.

"Seventh brother! Welcome." Monkey brought the new guest around to meet with everybody.

Luther just nodded briefly, and went back to sulking, while Runyan gasped in surprise.

Wasn't this the new mayor of the Hangzhou city??

As soon as the news about Mayor Tang's and his daughter's unfortunate suicides spread around, the city government hurried and appointed a temporary Mayor, till the official elections could be conducted.

This person was initially supposed to be the Deputy Mayor, but somehow he was also missing.

And the rumor is that because of this domestic instability a high ranking officer in the military offered himself to step in as the temporary Mayor of the city.

And now, this temporary mayor was the seventh brother?!!

There was nothing that could surprise her anymore!

The moment she left that monastery with Su Lin, she knew that her life was not going to be normal. And somehow this even made her happy!

She had come a long way from her grief torn days...

Unlike the majestic, tall, and dominating personality, he displayed outside, the new mayor, Zi Yan seemed to be rather in line with the rest of these goofs.

It's like they say, birds of a feather flock together! When have these guys ever behaved like a crime syndicate!!!

"First brother. Congratulations on the wedding!!" Zi Yan grinned and smacked Luther on his back.

"HeHe... There is my stunning new bride, the apple of my eye." Luther teasingly pointed towards Su Lin, who was trying her best to remain calm.

"Stunning?" Zi Yan was confused.

Unlike his six brothers, who were forest dwellers for most parts of their life, he had always been a part of the civilization and the woman in the living room was nowhere closer to the description, the word stunning referred to!

"Of course! Love is blind. The world's most handsome man falling in love with an extremely ordinary woman. Haha. What an irony!"

He turned around to say something to Monkey, when he realized that he had actually spoken the words out loud, rather than thinking it in his mind.

"You are calling me ugly, my newest brother-in-law ?"

Zi Yan, suddenly found himself trembling, staring directly at this new supposedly 'ordinary' woman?

Before Su Lin, could say another word, Squirrel intervened, "You better apologize to Master, Seventh Brother."

"Damn it Squirrel!! I was going to say that. It is the husband's job to act cool and be the knight in shining armor!! You step back, bastard." Luther yelled, just a second late in his response time.

Hai Hai... How am I going to keep all these children in a leash!!

Monkey wondered, watching the mini-sparring session, which had already started between Luther and Squirrel.

While the main culprit Zi Yan was slowly inching away from Su Lin, as if he had seen a monster.
