n

nThe neighborhood was pretty large and the majority of the residents here were higher-ups of M.Uni and their family members. There were also some higher-ups from other universities.

n

nWhen Zi Yi and the Dou Family went to deliver wedding candies, each family would hold them back for a short while and congratulate her.

n

nIt took them three to four hours before they managed to give out everything and they had to finish up their lunch rather quickly.

n

nAfter they finished giving out the wedding candies, they were exhausted.

n

nDou Yurui slumped on the chair and said, “At the thought that our family will be sending out wedding candies at least three times in the future, my legs have started to go soft.”

n

nDou Yue’er sat beside her and leaned against her. She giggled and said, “If you don’t get married, there’s no need to give out wedding candies… Ouch! Mom, why did you hit me for?”

n

nThe Fourth Madam had a deadpan expression. “I don’t feel like supporting you anymore. To think that you wish harm but still want to live your life well, in your dreams!”

n

n“Mom~ am I not your little baby?” Dou Yue’er threw herself in the arms of the Fourth Madam and started acting coquettishly.

n

n“Go, get away from me. You’re so old and yet, you act so spoiled. See, my arms have goosebumps.”

n

n“Hahahaha…”

n

nThe rest started laughing at their interaction.

n

nAfter she finished laughing, Zi Yi said, “Why don’t I find a way to give you all a massage?”

n

n“You’ve also walked a long time today and you shouldn’t tire yourself out anymore. We can take a rest first. Our relatives will be coming over for dinner in the evening and you will have to entertain them then.”

n

nThe relatives the First Madam mentioned were the maiden families of the madams.

n

nThe Dou Family was a closed knitted family and the madams’ maiden family members were also close with the Dou Family members. They would often celebrate together if there were any festivals or joyous events. The Dou Family’s granddaughter was getting married and they would certainly be here too.

n

n“It won’t take long.” Zi Yi giggled and said, “Shadow, Shadow II, Shadow III, Shadow IV.”

n

nAs soon as Zi Yi called out, they saw four robots appearing out of thin air.

n

n“Master.”

n

n“Give everyone a massage.”

n

n“Yes, Master.”

n

nThe robots started massaging the four madams first under everyone’s surprised gaze.

n

nDou Yurui and Dou Yue’er looked at the four madams enjoying themselves and their faces were full of curiosity.

n

n“How is it? Is it comfortable?”

n

n“This massaging technique is even more comfortable than the masseuses from the beauty salons. How comfortable~”

n

nDou Yurui and Dou Yue’er had expectant expressions. “I’m looking forward to it.”

n

nBefore everyone got to finish their massage, the Dou Family’s relatives had arrived.

n

nZi Yi tagged along and started to attend to the relatives.

n

nWhen Zi Yi’s peers saw her, they had her surrounded. There were many who started asking her about her studies.

n

nBy the time Zi Yi was finally free, it was already 10 p.m at night.

n

nWhen she returned to the room prepared for her, she lay down on the bed after washing up and sent Lu Jingye a message.

n

nAh Jing, what are you doing? There were many people who came to Grandpa’s house today. It was extremely lively.

n

nI just arranged accommodations for all those who came from abroad. I’m heading back now.

n

nAre you tired?

n

nNo, I’m not. If you are feeling tired, you should rest early.

n

nI want to talk to you.

n

nLu Jingye sent her a video call after she sent the message.

n

nZi Yi happily called out to him. “Ah Jing.”

n

nLu Jingye was currently sitting in the car. Looking at her rosy cheeks, he said, “You have to wake up early tomorrow. Sleep early today.”

n

nZi Yi nodded her head. “I’ll sleep after chatting with you for a while. But…”

n

nSpeaking of this, she revealed a vexed expression. “What if I can’t wake up tomorrow.”

n

nLu Jingye’s lips slightly raised. “Don’t worry, your Uncles and Aunts will wake you up.”

n

nZi Yi was a little awkward. “It will be a little embarrassing.”

n

nThe smile on Lu Jingye’s face deepened. “Then I’ll wake you up when it’s time.”

n

nZi Yi happily nodded and shared with him about the interesting things she had experienced today.

n

nWhen Lu Jingye arrived at their villa, the two of them ended the video call.

n

nZi Yi placed the phone to the side and fell asleep peacefully.

n

nOn the other side.

n

nDou Xiangling finally got away with it today and she breathed a sigh of relief.

n

nShe was afraid that Zi Yi would diagnose that she was poisoned and that it was incurable. At that time, it would affect everyone and they would be in a bad mood.

n

nShe did not wish to affect her cousin’s and everyone else’s mood.

n

n“As long as I endure past tomorrow and don’t affect Yiyi’s wedding…”

n

nDou Xiangling clenched her fist to cheer herself up and headed to the washroom.

n

nHowever, just as she was about to undress, her body trembled and the pain of something gnawing at her heart came instantly.

n

nShe covered her heart and grabbed the sink with another hand.

n

nEven though she had experienced that kind of pain once, the pain was still unbearable as her complexion turned pale in an instant. She broke out in a cold sweat and her body trembled in pain.

n

n“Ugh… it hurts…”

n

nShe could only squat down, hold herself tightly, and bury her head in her arms. She was unable to hold back her tears as they trickled down from her eyes.

n

nAs she was afraid that other people would hear her, she tried her best not to make a sound.

n

nHowever, her body shook even more because of her endurance.

n

nJust then, the sound of her phone ringing could be heard from her bedroom.

n

nThe ringtone sounded like a death reaper’s arrival. Dou Xiangling was frightened to the extent that her body shook even more intensely.

n

nShe knew that the call was from Zhang Hanyu. If she did not answer it, he would certainly keep calling again and again.

n

nHer second cousin stayed on the left and her little cousin stayed on the right of her room. The soundproofing of the house was not that great to the extent that not a single sound would be heard, so if her phone kept ringing, her keen second cousin would certainly come over and check up on her.

n

nAt the thought of this, Dou Xiangling tried her best to stand up and head to the bedroom to turn off her phone.

n

nHowever, the pain was too much. With every breath she took, she felt as if she would die of pain in the next second.

n

n“Huff… huff…”

n

nBAM!

n

nWhen she was on the verge of standing up, her feet went soft and she fell back down to the ground.

n

n“Ugh…”

n

nThis situation was repeated several times. She finally got up after tremendous effort and staggered towards the bedroom.

n

nFortunately, she had put her phone on the bedside table.

n

nWhen she was about to grab her phone, her view went black.

n

nThere was a warm liquid trickling down, but she did not feel any pain.

n

nHer trembling hands went to grab the phone and she quickly turned it off.

n

nSubsequently, her view went dark and she fainted.

n

n…

n

nBefore dawn the next day, Zi Yi’s phone rang.

n

nShe opened her eyes when she heard her phone ring.

n

nShe answered the call and Lu Jingye’s gentle voice that carried a smile sounded. “Yiyi, are you awake?”

n

nHer lips had also curved up and she happily said, “I’m awake.”

n

nLu Jingye urged her. “Go and wash up. Your Aunts will be coming to call for you soon.”

n

nZi Yi responded with a sigh and said, “Ah Jing, are you going to get up too?”

n

nLu Jingye replied, “Yes, there are many things to do on my end before I come to pick you up.”

n

n“Then let’s endure it together!”

n

n“Alright.”

n

nAfter hanging up the phone, Zi Yi went to the washroom to wash up. Just as she was done, knocking sounds could be heard from the door.

n
