Chapter 82: Lend Me Your Husband
Outside the school campus, there was a hotel where Ling Fan took out the medicinal ointment he had obtained from Vermilion Bird, carefully applying it to Su Qiong's facial wounds.
After killing Xiong Tianlu, he handed the rest over to Shen Tie, and then quickly brought Su Qiong to the hotel to book a room and treat the wounds.
At that moment, Zhou Siyu stood by cautiously asking, "Sister Qiong's face won't scar, will it?"
"No worries, this is a special medicinal ointment from the Martial Arts World. Just avoid water for three days, and all will be fine," Ling Fan instructed.
"Ling Fan, thank you!" Su Qiong expressed gratefully.
Ling Fan carefully finished applying the last of the ointment, "Hmm, it's all right now. Rest well these next few days!"
...
Meanwhile, in the CEO's office of the recently renamed Fanxing, now Tianyun Entertainment,
Xiao Chubing's expression fluctuated uneasily as she watched Yun Fei sit quietly across from her. Although she had been mentally prepared for certain matters, the actual occurrence still left an indescribable taste in her heart.
After Ling Fan had left, Yun Fei, after much deliberation, felt that she should confront Xiao Chubing honestly and communicate well. Under normal circumstances, she might have hesitated.
But that day at the entrance to Yun Xuan, Ling Fan had openly claimed her, and Xiao Chubing had gladly accepted without any objections!
Now that things had happened, they had to be confronted, after all, they would often meet and even live together in the future.
This misunderstanding had become too tangled to unravel, a pity neither Xiao Chubing nor Ling Fan was aware of it yet.
After a long moment, Xiao Chubing managed to calm her emotions, lifting her eyes to gaze at Yun Fei with a stoic expression, "I can understand such accidents, but by telling me this today, are you trying to challenge me, or what?"
Yun Fei's heart skipped a beat, this situation wasn't quite as she had expected!
But being a woman with high emotional intelligence and adhering to the principle of peaceful coexistence, she would never escalate or worsen the situation, even if she had to suffer some grievances. She couldn't make it difficult for Ling Fan, especially since Xiao Chubing was his official wife.
"Chu Bing, you misunderstood. I am an orphan, just a rootless wanderer among various men and powers. Despite appearances, I'm actually walking on thin ice!
If it weren't for Ling Fan, I don't know what would have become of me. I've never thought about claiming a title or competing for anything, I just hope we can live in peace.
Moreover, with a man like Ling Fan, if he continues to excel, there will certainly be more than just us two women in the future. But I can assure you, no matter what happens, I will always uphold your status!" Yun Fei spoke calmly, in a very humble manner.
Xiao Chubing gave this a lot of thought, taking a deep breath. She had to admit, the last thing Yun Fei said was spot on, and that was exactly what bothered her.
Previously, she thought Ling Fan was pathetic, useless, not deserving her attention. Now, she was troubled by his dazzling brilliance.
"A man without capability is dismissed by others, and a man too capable is hard to control. Can't his abilities be just normal?" Xiao Chubing felt bitterness in her heart.
She had just dragged her best friend Shu Ya into this, and suddenly, Yun Fei appeared, already making it two women in just a few days.
"Now, I almost wish he would revert to that unappealing failure, I'd rather support him myself!" Xiao Chubing sighed.
Seeing this, Yun Fei knew Xiao Chubing might have seen the point, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "If he really were still that failure, you wouldn't think this way. Do you think, as women like us, a man with no capabilities could protect us?"
Xiao Chubing thought about it and realized it was true. If Ling Fan really were still that failure, she might already be a forbidden delicacy of Li Guohao or a plaything for wealthy young masters like Xu Sicong.
"A wife is honored by her husband, and a woman's happiness in life isn't about finding a capable man, but in choosing the right capable man!"
"There are many capable men in this world, but I can feel that he is different, he really cares about you!" Yun Fei said enviously.
Xiao Chubing's frown slightly relaxed, "He cares about you too, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here in front of me!"
Yun Fei thought of Ling Fan's words, 'I am willing to take responsibility,' and her heart was filled with tender feelings.
"He is a man who takes responsibilities seriously!" Yun Fei nodded.
"By the way, when are you coming over? Fanxing is quite chaotic now, we need more people!" Xiao Chubing suddenly changed the subject.
"Tomorrow, I can't today, I'm not feeling well!" Yun Fei hesitated.
Xiao Chubing nodded, "Then you should go back and rest well, I'll let you know if anything comes up!"
Yun Fei nodded with a smile, the tension between the two women instantly dissipated, and she greeted before heading towards the door.
Just as Yun Fei reached the doorway, she started, her face blushing suddenly; she hadn't expected Xiao Chubing to ask such a question, probably still feeling bitter.
Upon hearing this, Yun Fei raised her hand, thumb and forefinger and middle finger together, and made a slight gesture.
Xiao Chubing was slightly shocked, thinking to herself, "That crazy...?"
This woman, though claiming not to care much, how could she not feel jealous at the bottom of her heart? Yun Fei deliberately said, "What about you guys?"
Watching Yun Fei disappear at the door, Xiao Chubing gripped the pen in her hand fiercely, as if harboring a grudge, muttering to herself, "Well, Ling Fan, just wait until you get home tonight, and see how I deal with you!"
"Yikes! Haven't seen you for a few days, and you are already the boss lady of Fanxing? Such an impressive office!" Soon after, Liu Yuqiong suddenly popped her head in, curiously appearing at the door.
Xiao Chubing composed herself, not in a good mood, "You little nuisance, stop teasing me. Are you interested in helping me out?"
She had specifically called Liu Yuqiong over; the company was short-staffed and desperately needed help.
"Hehe, I can help, but I have one condition, you need to help me out too!" Liu Yuqiong said with a grin.
Xiao Chubing rolled her eyes, "Spit it out, what is it?"
"Lend me your husband for a bit!" said Liu Yuqiong, as she joyfully sat down across from Xiao Chubing.
Xiao Chubing: "..."
"Is Ling Fan's physique that attractive now?" Xiao Chubing was about to lose it.
Seeing this, Liu Yuqiong knew Xiao Chubing had misunderstood.
Immediately, she laughed, "Just kidding, I actually need his help for something real, you're not reluctant to let him go, are you?"
Xiao Chubing was speechless, "What is it, you've got to make it clear!"
Given Yun Fei's precedent, she had to be more cautious.
"It's like this..." Liu Yuqiong immediately began to explain.
