Chapter 744: Lots of Fun in the Sanatorium 29

Yi Fei An seemed to have found a fun toy, ready to put his hand on it again, but Jin Chen backhandedly pressed him down, kicked his butt and shoved him away.

"You want to rebel?"

"Wronged, big brother! My loyal heart to you, you can't forget!"

Yi Fei An, after being kicked away, still tried to defend himself.

"Eat, eat!"

Jiang Qiu pulled Chu Ling and rushed in, found a random seat, sat down, his face full of excitement.

"General, I want to eat lion's head today! Do we have any?"

"None." The Nurse Team denied in unison.

Jiang Qiu sighed, tapping his chopsticks, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and instinctively looked up to meet Jin Chen's gaze.

"Your Highness, are you not happy today?" Jiang Qiu leered, moving close to Shen Yan, asking doubtfully.

Shen Yan curled his lips: "He's not unhappy, rather... General, you're full of enthusiasm."

His words hinted at probing.

Chu Ling could hear it, but opened his mouth and ended up saying nothing.

"Of course, General, I'm happy every day."

Jiang Qiu rolled his eyeballs, slapped his own face with both hands, "It's just a shame we can't have lion's head."

"Lion's head is so delicious, hey."

He looked at Jin Chen, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please have them make some lion's head!"

Jin Chen, cold and elegant: "Now the treasury is empty, just this dish, eat it if you like, don't if you don't."

"Who knows which general lost a battle, wasting all that silver in the treasury."

The general who lost the battle, Jiang Qiu: "..."

He had snot and tears streaming.

"I've failed you, Your Highness!"

"I've failed the people of the world."

"Or perhaps I should atone with my death!"

Having said that, Jiang Qiu lunged to crash into the table.

Chu Ling quickly stopped him, letting the dishes be served.

"Stop talking, my general, hurry up and eat."

This meal was eaten with an inexplicable undercurrent surging.

Shen Yan occasionally observed Jiang Qiu; catching sight of Qiao Qing bringing in a few nurses to distribute medicine, he paid even closer attention.

He stared at those strange medicine bottles, his tone turning cold: "Mr. Qiao, what weird medicine have you brought this time?"

"It's medicine that needs to be taken regularly every month."

Qiao Qing still wore his unchanging white suit, his handsome face expressionless.

"If Doctor Shen has any questions, you can take a few pills for testing."

"Take medicine, take medicine, why do we have to take medicine every day."

The Huakui young master muttered softly, but his voice was too low for anyone else to hear.

Except for Jin Chen, who had been paying attention all along.

When would Shangguan Hao ever complain about such things?

He suddenly waved at Shangguan Hao, whose eyes lit up, and he immediately came trotting over.

"Your Highness, do you have any orders?"

"I've been bored lately; why not come to your room tonight for a chat?"

Since Shangguan Hao is an intelligence officer, he certainly knows a lot; back in the organization, he was someone who liked to hide secrets.

The Huakui young master became even more excited.

As if after a long drought he'd finally met sweet rain, even his eye sockets turned red.

"Your Highness, are you finally willing to look at me?"

"Once you try, you'll know I'm absolutely no worse than the consort."

Jin Chen: "..."

"That's not what I meant!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you old fool!"

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +2, total 57!】

【Pink leading to Villain Blackening Value +2, total 42!】

Jin Chen widened his eyes, silently turned his head to look at the silent Shen Yan, "Honey... aren't you happy?"

Shen Yan forced a smile, curled his lips: "If Your Highness is going to be intimate with someone else, should I still be happy?"

This counterquestion could be said to have made Jin Chen ecstatic.

Oh! My wife is jealous!

"No, no, no, I wouldn't dare, my love."

Jin Chen leaned over and whispered to him.

"I'm going to find him... to play! Just play!"

He shook his hand, "I love my wife the most! I could never like anyone else!"

Shen Yan felt an itch by his ear, moved slightly, smiling as he pushed his head away.

"Alright, I know."

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -2, total 40】

Jin Chen: "……" let out a breath.

"Oh dear!"

The two were drawn by Jiang Qiu's exclamation and looked up.

The pill placed in Jiang Qiu's palm was accidentally dropped into the soup; by the time it was fished out, it had dissolved and could no longer be eaten.

But the nurses each brought only one serving today.

Qiao Qing: "I'll take Jiang Qiu out to eat; you all keep eating."

"Ah! Where are you taking this general!"

Jiang Qiu wailed.

They struggled for a moment, but he still took them away.

Shen Yan immediately became alert, exchanged a glance with Chu Ling, signaling him to follow.

Chu Ling nodded slightly, rose and left his seat.

Everyone continued eating, as if no one noticed this interlude.

"Honey…… I need to go to the bathroom."

Jin Chen held his stomach, frowning, "It hurts."

Shen Yan glanced at the three empty ice cream boxes on the table, "... Go ahead."

How did he make so many in just a moment while I wasn't looking?

——

Inner room of the sixth-floor laboratory.

Jiang Qiu followed Qiao Qing inside.

"This liquid was already scarce, and recently two vials went missing for no reason."

Qiao Qing tapped the syringe, said a few casual words, and gestured for Jiang Qiu to lift his clothing.

"This injection will maintain……"

Bang!

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Both were startled, looking in surprise at the newcomer.

Chu Ling gave Qiao Qing a cold stare, then looked at Jiang Qiu, "What are you doing?"

"Wasn't this medicine injected during the day? Why do it again?"

"Mind your own business."

Qiao Qing shouted loudly and attacked without hesitation; Chu Ling was already angry and couldn't tolerate such provocation.

The two fought fiercely indoors, creating a considerable commotion.

Jiang Qiu's expression changed slightly; he suddenly slipped, fell to the ground, and clutched his ankle while wailing.

"Hey! Madam! Come save me!"

Chu Ling heard the shout, immediately stopped to help Jiang Qiu, "What's wrong?"

"My foot hurts, especially badly."

Jiang Qiu pitifully grabbed his sleeve, "I don't want to stay here any longer; take me away, I want to go back to my room to sleep."

Chu Ling painfully closed his eyes.

How could he not hear that he was protecting Qiao Qing?

Why…… why did it have to be Jiang Qiu?

"I'm in so much pain…"

Jiang Qiu shook Chu Ling's hem again.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you back."

Chu Ling hoisted him up by the waist, glared at Qiao Qing with eyes full of killing intent, and left the injection room directly.

"Mad dog."

Qiao Qing said coldly, pushing the liquid from the syringe into a container.

"A-Qing, is that you in there?"

Sheng Jiping's voice came from the hallway.

"It's me."

Qiao Qing put the container away, discarded the syringe, and leisurely looked at the incoming Sheng Jiping.

"I haven't seen you all half day; where did you go?"

Sheng Jiping sighed, "Wasn't I just getting supplies?"

He put his arm around Qiao Qing's waist, lowered his head to lightly sniff his neck, and upon smelling the familiar perfume, he smiled.

"I thought someone else was in there."
