All of them are defied-heavenly abominations.
Jing Wanqiu had lost the bet, because a full thirty minutes had passed, and the eldest miss and Boss Li still hadn't come out.
"Sister Wanqiu, should we go in and take a look?"
Putting away the two coins, Jin Momo looked eager to try.
"No way! As the eldest miss's personal bodyguards, we must strictly protect everything, including her privacy!"
Though her eyes flickered with temptation, her tone remained resolute.
Masters and servants in name, they were sisters in reality.
How could sisters just go peeking at each other on a whim?
"Then let's just take a peek, literally just a peek, Sister Wanqiu!"
Unwilling to give up, Jin Momo had already pressed her hand against the door handle. With just a gentle press and push, the gap would naturally open.
*Gulp.*
Jing Wanqiu swallowed hard. She was tempted, and her heart was beating even faster.
However, she could not take action!
This was a matter of principle!
It was all the fault of this clueless little brat Jin Momo!
*Click.*
The door cracked open a sliver, and the two of them, one tall and one short, pressed their eyes to the gap to peer inside.
"The tiger doesn't roar, and you think I'm a sick cat!"
*Bang!!*
"Hey, you don't have to put it that way. Enough is enough."
Boss Li was starting to crack. This chick was too psycho; his current mental state was deeply troubled, and his psychological state was quite complicated...
As for the big and small figures peeking through the crack, their eyes went from being squinted into slits to widening as large as copper bells in just a few seconds.
Then the two of them quickly shut the door, pressing their backs flat and rigid against the hallway wall. Their expressions were filled with unprecedented terror, bewilderment, panic... In short, a local grocery store couldn't hold a candle to the colorful array of expressions on their faces.
What they had glimpsed was far more than a secret; it was an abyss, it was hell!
Jing Wanqiu pulled her phone out of her pocket, her hands trembling as she debated whether to send a text message, when Jin Momo snatched it away and threw it to the ground, stomping on it frantically.
"My phone!!!!!!!!!"
"Forget about the phone!"
Jin Momo grabbed her own hair with both hands, suddenly turning her head to stare at Jing Wanqiu. "Sister Wanqiu, either we take out the guy named Li, or we pretend we saw nothing! And absolutely, positively, absolutely, positively, absolutely, positively... we cannot report this! We cannot! I'm still so young, I don't want to die yet..."
"I, I..." Jing Wanqiu's voice was trembling too. "I don't really want to die either. But the eldest miss..."
"She must be deeply in love with President Li!"
"She clearly..."
"She is deeply in love with President Li! Women in the throes of passionate love are just like this, a 'love-brained' fool is just like this! Lovers whose bond is stronger than gold are willing to do anything for each other! There is no other reason! None! No bad habits! No deep dark secrets! No hidden alternate side! None!"
"..."
"Am I right or not?"
"Momo." Jing Wanqiu pressed both hands onto the other's shoulders. "You are completely, one hundred percent right!"
"Phew..."
Jin Momo let out a long sigh, then buried her face in her hands and let out a wail, "What kind of madness is this?!"
My luck is terrible!
The south is no fun at all!
I want to go back to Beidu, I want to go back to my hometown of Dijinzidu!
I'd rather go back to Dijinzidu to watch crosstalk performers play drift racing.
Huddled together, the two waited another ten minutes or so, but the people inside still hadn't come out. That yoga session was certainly taking a long time.
"Momo."
"Hmm?"
With a sleepy, vacant look in her eyes, Jing Wanqiu said, "That was my newly bought phone. You better remember to compensate me."
"As soon as sister pays my salary, I'll buy you the latest 'Papaya' phone."
"I want the big-screen one."
"Definitely big."
*Click.*
Just as the two fell silent again, the yoga studio door opened. Boss Li, in a rare sight, wiped the sweat from his brow and cursed as he walked out, "Damn retards, always running into freaks like this. Harder to deal with than the 'Speedy Gang'."
Going out to grab something to eat, he noticed two figures sitting on the floor resembling the "Kappa" logo, and promptly kicked one of them. "You two, go inside and clean up."
"It's over?"
Jin Momo widened her eyes, staring at Li Jie.
"Bad luck."
Ignoring Jin Momo, Boss Li hurried to grab a couple of gulps of cola to calm his nerves. Even after heavy training, he still insisted on holding the cola bottle in his left hand.
"Aha..."
He let out a long breath.
*Burp~~~~*
Followed by another "evil dragon roar," a long burp complete with chest resonance.
Entering the yoga studio, Jing Wanqiu and Jin Momo saw Ji Shengnan sprawled on the floor, drenched in sweat and covered in bruises.
They weren't serious injuries, just dense rows of marks.
Her usual loungewear practice uniform was now shredded, exposing everything that could and couldn't be exposed.
Even her white underwear was riddled with holes.
At a single glance, it was all plump and lush.
"Eldest Miss!"
"Sister!"
When Jing Wanqiu and Jin Momo flipped Ji Shengnan over to lie flat, a tumultuous wave of massive proportions surged forth. Once things calmed down, Ji Shengnan wore a look of utter bliss, completely ignoring the presence of her two junior sisters. She covered her face with both hands and cried out in excitement, "Ah, he is so powerful and fierce! For the first time, I've experienced the feeling of being completely suppressed—it's simply amazing! He is my destined true love, and I can never leave him from now on. Even if he humiliates me, tramples on me, or even compares me to a sow in a pigsty, I still won't be able to leave him. Ah..."
"..."
"..."
Boss Li, who was drinking cola in the living room, had sharp hearing and roared from the couch, "Can you act like a normal human being in front of others?! What damn bad luck, attracting a freak like this."
He was now suspecting whether that bastard Yang Laowu knew something.
Was it intentional?
But on second thought, that seemed unlikely. If he knew, how explosive would that be?
He figured even Ji Shengnan's own father had no idea how outrageous his daughter was!
Pondering this and that, Boss Li ran over to the living room computer, logged into his Weibo account, and tagged Yang Ying @Daye Pictures Chairman Yang Ying: Second Young Master Yang, you sure have great fortune and a thick life.
It sounded very much like a threat, but Boss Li truly didn't mean to threaten Second Young Master Yang; he genuinely felt that Yang Ying was blessed with great fortune and a long life.
With your literati-youth physique, you're going to enter a marriage alliance with the Ji family and marry Ji Shengnan?
Ji Shengnan might not be a real celestial fairy, but you, Yang Ying, would ascend to heaven one hundred percent.
It wouldn't be impossible for this damn guy to suddenly get his head squeezed off by a pair of thighs while sleeping at night.
Boss Li believed that in this world, the people capable of enjoying top-tier fairies like "Celestial Fairy Wang" could be counted on one hand.
Unless the Yang family injected Second Young Master Yang with some strengthening serum, allowing him to at least have an erection when facing a T80 main battle celestial fairy, rather than just failing to reach "Individual Soldier 500."
He was just afraid that before he could even get an erection, he wouldn't even be given the chance to suffer from impotence.
"Ah, he scolded me again, and so mercilessly in front of my two good sisters. He really trampled all over my dignity and my heart. Ah, I'm so embarrassed..."
"E-Eldest Miss..."
"Sister..."
It was a familiarity so profound, yet felt like a complete stranger.
Jing Wanqiu felt like she was going crazy. She had been on the verge of exhaustion earlier, but now she was wide awake.
The secret of her eldest miss—this juicy piece of gossip—must absolutely never leak out!
The news had to be locked down!
Thinking of this, she actually felt a strong urge to just take out Li Jie right then and there. Unfortunately... she didn't have the ability.
Others might not know the eldest miss's combat prowess, but she did. Someone the eldest miss couldn't handle was someone she shouldn't even dream of fighting.
Her spirit instantly deflated.
Carrying Ji Shengnan back to her room and leaving Jin Momo behind to help clean her wounds and change into a better outfit, Jing Wanqiu went out to the living room to talk to Li Jie.
"President Li, there's—"
"Get lost."
Without even glancing at Jing Wanqiu, Li Jie said, "Scram."
"Oh, sorry to disturb you."
Jing Wanqiu nodded, even bowing slightly as she left.
She had taken two steps before realizing something was wrong. Why am I obeying him so easily? I actually have business to discuss.
So she turned back, walked up to Li Jie—who was currently flame-warping with internet trolls in front of his computer—and said, "President Li! This is a very serious matter!"
"Are you going to scram or not?! If you don't scram, I'll knock you out right now!"
Glaring at Jing Wanqiu with a lollipop dangling from his mouth, Li Jie was furiously flaming a late-night gamer with the ID *Sing a Song of 'Vastness of the Sky' for Brother Guo*: "Keep asking for it, go ahead and exhaust yourself. What kind of physical constitution do you have to be staying up late like this? Are you brewing yourself a pot of bone broth?"
"I'm going to sleep in a minute."
"In a minute your ass! Were you planning to feed the group chat a bowl of bone-ash-fried-rice per person tomorrow daytime? Tumors have occupied the high ground of your intelligence, and you're completely fearless against disease, aren't you?"
"Fine, fine, I'm going to sleep right now."
"Stop talking crap to me, I'm calling your mother."
"Are you even human?!"
"I am acting remarkably human today, damn it!"
An irritated Li Jie started looking for his phone. Remembering it was in the room and not wanting to wake Yaoyao, he sat back down. "Let this be the first and last time."
After typing out those words, his expression froze. It wasn't because Brother Guo had kicked the bucket, but because Jing Wanqiu had suddenly squatted down and covered her head.
"Big sister, what kind of performance art is this?"
"..."
Jing Wanqiu was quite speechless herself. She had seen Li Jie stand up just now and thought he was going to beat her up.
Thinking she would just have to tough it out—since she definitely couldn't beat him—Li Jie had sat back down instead.
Absolute madman.
"Hungry?"
Shutting down the computer, Li Jie headed toward the kitchen, pausing to look back at Jing Wanqiu, who was still standing in place hesitating.
"Just a little bit."
"Alright, I'll make you some too."
Ham fried rice, loaded with a bunch of green peas, diced carrots, and corn kernels. The rice was leftover, and a large wok was just the right size.
The kitchen had been remodeled, and the stove was no different from a planetary engine.
Quick-fried over high heat with plenty of eggs and scallions, it was dished out onto a plate.
He poured a glass of cola for each of them. Jing Wanqiu hesitated over whether to drink it; recently she had been horribly sabotaged by it, eating very well and gaining weight at a rapid pace.
Her bust, waist, and arm measurements had all blown up like they were injected with water.
Li Jie couldn't be bothered with her, turning on the TV for background noise as he ate and drank his fill.
Thus, Jing Wanqiu stopped overthinking and buried her face in her food.
When she was a third of the way through, Li Jie had already cleared his plate. Wiping his mouth with two tissues, Boss Li said, "Don't worry about me blabbing about certain things either. I'm not that bored. I'm still counting on your eldest miss to make money for me."
"President Li, actually you could consider marrying into the Ji family..."
"Should I marry into your family instead?"
"..."
"Damn retard..."
Throwing a sidelong glance at Jing Wanqiu, Li Jie casually tossed the tissue onto the table. "Clean this up later, I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay."
Too timid to speak further, Jing Wanqiu simply nodded.
Originally he had just wanted a quick rinse, but being put in such a foul mood by "Celestial Fairy Wang," Boss Li unusually decided to take a proper bath.
Lying in the oversized bathtub, he hummed comfortably—this was what life was all about.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Li Jie paused: What the hell kind of noise is that?
Pulling back the shower curtain, he saw Jing Wanqiu holding a basket and gathering the clothes he had just changed out of.
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't President Li say I should clean up later? I left the bowls and plates soaking in the sink for now, and came to wash the dirty clothes first."
"Were you dropped on your head like your eldest miss when you were a kid?"
"I wasn't?"
"Then why do I feel like your brain has been rewired?"
"..."
