The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Chapter 506
Advertisement
The man must have just taken a bath. He was sitting on a couch as the light above him cast a yellow halo on him. A breeze blew, carrying with it a few snowflakes and wetting his eyelashes.
He was wiping his hair with a white towel, his hands looking fair.
Fu Zhi put her gaming console on the side and said, "Li Nanli."
"Yeah."
The man picked up his phone as he casually draped the towel over his shoulder and went back into his room.
When his eyes met Fu Zhi's gaze, he chuckled a little and said, "There will be a banquet tonight. It's held by the younger members of the Zheng Family."
He threw his phone on the bed as he began to change into his suit.
On the other side of the line, Fu Zhi stared at the screen.
"Tsk, do you want to see, Zhizhi?" Li Nanli asked when he noticed her gaze. He cocked his head to the side and glanced at the phone on the bed.
Fu Zhi took a sip of milk from her cup.
The weather was cold, and she had no idea why but she felt a little bit hot inside. She pulled at the collar of her shirt, and just as she was about to decline and tell him that he should not simply offer to show his body to other people, Li Nanli chimed in and said, his voice thick with amusement, "Never. I won't let you see it if you don't commit to me."
Fu Zhi was stunned.
'No! Wait! Hold on! I didn't say I wanted to see!'
Before she could say anything, the white robe on Li Nanli's body fell and covered the phone.
Fu Zhi did not know what to say.
The man looked even more dashing in the black suit. He picked the phone up and asked, "Do you want to come with me and have some fun at the banquet?"
Fu Zhi leaned against the back of the chair and looked outside. The snow seemed to be letting up.
"Nope. I am meeting my friends. We are going to play games."

As she was talking, the door to Li Nanli's room was opened from the outside.
Gu Yanqi emerged and said, "Jiang Jinshu took someone to survey the Zheng Family's old mansion. The banquet will start soon, so we should leave now."
Li Nanli brought three teams with him this time. Other than Jiang Jinshu and Gu Yanqi, the last team consisted of Han Qi and Tang Ying. Both of them had come to Myanmar a long time ago, but they were on a mission right now.
The negotiation with the Zheng Family had not started yet. They would hold the banquet yearly, so things would get a little milder during this period of time.
That was why Li Nanli had invited Fu Zhi to the banquet, but Fu Zhi was not interested.
Gu Yanqi nodded at Fu Zhi in reply.
Li Nanli then rubbed Fu Zhi's eyes through the phone and said, "Don't keep playing games. I'll call you when I get to the party."
"Okay," Fu Zhi replied. Then, Li Nanli hung up the call.
There were seven to eight sports cars outside of the mansion.
Liu Mi opened the door, and Gu Yanqi and Li Nanli got into the car at the front.
The parade of cars then left the mansion one by one.
5:30 p.m, mealtime.
Jiang Jinshu and his team had been monitoring the Zheng Family and were exhausted, so they took a break in a restaurant.
They were all chit-chatting while drinking wine.
"I don't know what President Li is thinking. How can he not believe Boss Jiang and Tang Ying's judgment and change the plan at the last minute just because of a woman?"
"Well, she's his girlfriend. She's young, but she's kind of cocky."
"Does she really think she's a genius doctor?"
"Genius doctor? She's nothing compared to Z God. I don't know why she keeps saying that Old Master Zheng is faking his illness. All the branches of the Zheng Family have rushed here and are waiting to split the family property, so how can it be fake?
"If it were not for her, I would be escorting President Li to the Zheng Family's banquet. Why didn't you say something to President Li, boss?"

Jiang Jinshu gripped his phone tightly and sneered, "Let's wait two more days. If nothing strange happens, we're going back!"
Then, he would demand an explanation from Fu Zhi!
With that thought in mind, Jiang Jinshu pulled up the live footage on the laptop and set it aside. "Let's order something to eat."
As they were ordering their food, a man with a bald head appeared in the live footage. He walked up to the back door of the Zheng Mansion and looked around. Then, he knocked rhythmically on the door.
Very soon, a man in a Tang suit emerged from the door. "Have you brought the medicine?"
The man nodded.
The man in the Tang suit then looked around before pulling the man inside.
They thought nobody was looking at them, but unfortunately, a young man sitting next to Jiang Jinshu saw everything. He pointed at the laptop and shouted, "Isn't he the butler of the Zheng Family? What is he doing at the back door?"

In the meantime, at Lucky Cloud Pavilion...
After Wang Rui parked the car in the parking lot, he led Xu Wei up to the second floor. Only Lu Jingqing was left in the spacious room, while the rest of his team was checking on the jade stone downstairs.
He had an electronic file in his hand, and it seemed like he was checking the price of the jade stone.
"Hubby..."
Xu Wei's voice nearly caused Wang Rao to ascend into heaven on the spot. After all, he thought Xu Wei was like Fu Zhi. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that there'd be two different sides to Xu Wei. What surprised him even more was that Lu Jingqing put down the file in his hand and seemed to be enjoying the way Xu Wei was calling him very much.
Based on this, Wang Rao seemed to understand why Fu Zhi had refused to come with Xu Wei and Lu Jingqing.
Not only would they show their love in public, but they did not care if anyone was watching them as they were doing it either.
"Hubby, hug me!"
She stretched her arms toward Lu Jingqing, and her eyes were red due to motion sickness.
"What's wrong, honey?" Lu Jingqing pulled her to his side. He filled an empty cup with warm water and passed it to her. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he quickly took out the strawberry candy he had in his pocket to give it to Xu Wei.
As Xu Wei was sucking on the candy, she pouted her mouth and said, "Hubby, I thought I wouldn't be seeing you again!"
While Lu Jingqing helped her wipe away the snowflakes on her shirt, he said, "It's okay. I'm here."
"Okay!" Xu Wei replied.
Wang Rao was stunned.
'So this is love? So there is indeed a successful and loving man behind every charming woman?'
He had no idea why but he suddenly felt like he had changed gender. He wanted to become Lu Jingqing's wife too!
The atmosphere in the meeting room was warm. At the same time, Wu Qi came upstairs with a woman. The woman was Chen Mei, the daughter of the boss of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion.
The Lucky Cloud Pavilion was the Chen Family's business. Chen Mei was the only daughter of the boss of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion. She was turning 38 this year. She had just gotten divorced two years ago and she had a daughter. Her daughter was also a famous social butterfly at the Lucky Cloud Pavilion.
The first thing Chen Mei and Wu Qi saw when they came up were Lu Jingqing and Xu Wei. The two of them were sitting together. Chen Mei automatically ignored Xu Wei as she clapped her eyes on the man beside Xu Wei. He was gorgeous, distinguished, and most importantly, his eyes were filled with tenderness and love as he was looking at the cute woman beside him.
Chen Mei thought that he was the best husband material in the world. She raised her brows and asked Wu Qi, "Who is this man?"

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
