Cheng Mingyu, who heard the words of his mother while climbing the stairs, smiled wryly. Of course, now that his mother had seen the benefits of befriending Luo Huian, she would certainly not let go!
He shook his head and continued climbing up the stairs. Upon reaching the second floor, he elegantly brushed the strands of his fox-coloured hair that had silvery hue to them aside and then walked past the servants.
His feet padded on the carpet-covered floor as he came to a stop in front of a room. Cheng Mingyu pushed open the mahogany door and entered the room. As soon as he stepped inside, the woman sitting next to a large bed stood up.
She was wearing a white coat and her long black hair was tied in a bun.
"Master Mingyu," the woman greeted.
"Doctor Chou," Cheng Mingyu greeted the woman back as he looked down at the mer who was sleeping on the bed.
If not for the horrifying burn mark on the side of his face, the mer would have resembled sleeping beauty.
"How is he today?" Cheng Mingyu asked while looking at his father who hadn’t opened his eyes for ages.
Doctor Chou shook her head as she replied, "Not good. It seems like the blast from ten years ago really took a chunk of Master Su’s vitality. Not to mention the shock that his brain must have received …it’s really looking impossible for Master Su to wake up——"
"He will wake up," Cheng Mingyu stubbornly insisted. He had given so much for his father, definitely, his father wouldn’t let him down.
Seeing his stubbornness, Doctor Chou didn’t say anything. She did not want to say any harsh words but it had been so many years already.
Su Yemu, who was once the proud patriarch of the Cheng family, was infected by a Gloom. Fortunately, he awakened as the poison master and was able to detect the Gloom in a matter of days, unfortunately, there was no way to deal with the Gloom back then.
So when Su Yemu and the Cheng family tried to forcibly pull out the Gloom it resulted in the Gloom Blast which caused Su Yemu to fall unconscious.
Not to mention the Gloom was still inside of him. Though it was dormant, it was very much still there which was why everyone in the Cheng family wanted to abandon Su Yemu.
However, under the pressure of the Su family and Cheng Mingyu, they couldn’t do it.
"Master Mingyu why don’t you call for Miss Huian?" Doctor Chou suggested after a short pause. "Maybe she will be able to help Master Su."
Cheng Mingyu mockingly pulled the corners of his mouth. He remembered how he scolded Luo Huian to never show her face in front of him again and now he had to turn up in front of her.
With a sigh, he texted Luo Huian with his new number and hoped that she would reply to him.
On the other hand, in the Qi corporation Qi Yongrui was sitting in his office while staring at the screen of the television in his office. His lips were tightly pursed as he rubbed his forehead.
He didn’t divorce Luo Huian because he knew that the Qi family did not have an ounce of interest and no hope from Luo Huian. This gave him peace of mind but now that Luo Huian was——
The sound of his phone ringing broke the silence of his office and Qi Yongrui turned to look at the screen of his phone. Sure enough, it was his adoptive father calling.
Qi Yongrui did not answer the call as he needed to recollect his own thoughts and feelings.
For years he had ignored Luo Huian while pretending in front of his family that the two of them were in a great relationship. His adoptive parents did not care about him too much thus they did not doubt anything.
Qi Yongrui, who did not have any freedom when he was a child, felt like he was living a good life. Other than bearing the humiliation of being married to an F-class hunter and suffering from Luo Huian’s tantrums every now and then, Qi Yongrui did not think that there was anything wrong with his life.
But now….
"Assistant Ke, announce to everyone that I am busy with the next oncoming project and the mess that my sisters had made. Stop them from coming here at all costs!"

"Wow, is that really your wife?" One of the racers on the race track walked over to where Fan Meilin was standing. He threw his arm around Fan Meilin and then turned to look at the screen, "It seems like you are going to be rich really soon."
Fan Meilin rolled his eyes, he pushed the mer’s arm off his shoulder and then walked away. "Who cares about her damn money? If a person is not good at heart, does it matter if she has money?"
He didn’t think so!
Liao Liqin thought the same, he looked away from the screen of the television in the sculpting room and turned to look at his senior and crush—- Du De.
"It seems like your wife did something great," Du De said to the mer with a gentle smile on her face. Her voice was soft and waxy as if she was afraid of scaring Liao Liqin by raising her voice. "I bet now you must find this old senior of yours a drag," she jokingly teased the mer who shook his head at once.
His eyes filled with panic as he wrote down on his notepad,
’Sister De is good,’
"Am I?" Du De chuckled softly, she ruffled Liao Liqin’s hair and then said to him, "Do you want to help sister De with a sculpture? It will help in polishing your skills."
Liao Liqin panicked when he heard the words of Du De and wrote in a hurry, ’What if I make a mistake?’
"It is alright. Aren’t I here?" Du De said with a confident smile. "Even if you make a mistake, I will clean it up for you."
Seeing her treat him so kindly, Liao Liqin couldn’t help but blush.
