Because of the high fever, Jing Yi couldn’t go out temporarily. He stayed at home for three days. The farthest distance he walked every day was from the bed to the living room. He became a completely lazy salted fish.

[So boring~]

Jing Yi was shopping online while browsing his phone. He had more money now, so he didn’t bother much about prices and reviews when buying things. He would just buy whatever he liked. The joy of opening the packages could make him feel better after a long day.

Online shopping is well developed in this world, and express delivery usually arrives the next day. Early this morning, Jing Yi received several text messages again.

He lay on the sofa, crossed his legs and dangled his feet.

Just after placing two orders, a message popped up on the chat software: “Young Master invites you to join the group chat, come and chat together!”

Um?

What group?

Jing Yi turned over and lay on his stomach, picked up a cherry from the coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it while looking at the group of people…

[Group name tentative (4)]

Jing Yi:?

[Young Master: Jingyi Jingyi, welcome to the group~]

Jingyi: Oo? What is this?

With a curious heart, he clicked on the group members and found that except Li Wenzhao, the three brothers of the Li family were all in it, lined up neatly.

What’s going on? Are they going to start an uprising? Starting with isolating the eldest young master?

Before Jing Yi could decide whether to be a traitor, he saw the three young masters in the group becoming active.

[Li Xu: What kind of group is this?]

[Young Master: Private activity group, don’t talk, just listen to me!]

[Li Ting: …if you have to fart, do it now.]

After a pause, Li Mingzhi sent a message.

[Young Master: Latest news, we are going to have a sister-in-law!]

[Li Ting:? ]

[Li Xu: What nonsense.]

[Young Master: It’s true, I saw it with my own eyes!]

Jing Yi:?

He and the young master don’t seem to be close in front of others. Where did Li Mingzhi see that?

[Young Master: A few days ago, my elder brother went to attend the opening ceremony of my show. At night, I went to the hotel and saw my elder brother carrying a boy out of the room! It was a boy!]

[Young Master: The other party was sick, and I drove them to the hospital.]

…

[Li Xu: Did you read that correctly?]

[Young Master: Second brother, disbelieve me, I saw it with my eyes wide open!]

[Li Xu: …]

[Li Ting: Tsk, Big Brother looks silent and aloof, but I didn’t expect that he would play such a big game in private? He even made people dizzy?]

[Young Master changed the group name to the Four-member Group Looking for Brother and Sister-in-law]

Jing Yi: “…”

The three young masters have too much free time. Why don’t they do anything else with the energy they have? Why do they have to focus on gossip, especially digging up scandals about their eldest brother?

Or I ate too much salt.

[Li Ting: Where is Jingyi? Why aren’t you talking? When did a boy appear by my brother’s side?]

Jing Yi was so nervous that he couldn’t lie down. He sat up cross-legged and typed carefully.

[Long sleep, too lazy to get up: no.]

Li Xu quickly expressed his opinion: [You have been with Big Brother for so long, and you haven’t discovered anything?]

[Long sleep and too lazy to get up: No. ]

[Li Ting changed the group name to Brother Li’s Wife-Hunting Squad]

Jing Yi: “…”

The name of the group is becoming more and more nonsensical, and the three brothers of the Li family seem to be going further and further down the path of eating melons.

[……]

[Li Xu: Third brother, be serious.]

[Li Xu changed the group name to “Travail through all means to find my sister-in-law”]

Jing Yi: “…”

The second young master is not much better than the third young master.

[Young Master: Typing is too troublesome. Let’s meet and talk later. It’s convenient and quick, and we can sort out clues together.]

Li Ting and Li Xu both agreed.

Perhaps it was because Li Wenzhao’s romantic scandal was too rare, and the three younger brothers could not hide the urge to dig deeper and were determined to uncover the person.

Jing Yi didn’t dare to go to a gathering of this nature, fearing that he would be infected by the madness of the three young masters: [I won’t go. I have a cold and fever these days and am in quarantine in the city.]

[Young Master: Why are you sick too?]

[Li Ting: Wait, Xiao Si, which hospital did you send Big Brother to?]

[Young Master: Capital City Hospital.]

[Li Ting: That’s not right. I checked the medical records for that day and didn’t see anyone suspicious. It seems that Big Brother erased the medical records himself. But I did find something interesting…]

Jing Yi’s heart jumped. How could he forget that one of the essential technical means for a domineering CEO is to be able to check the records of medical treatment, flight boarding and house rental at any time, so as to set up a dragnet at any time to catch his runaway bride.

The Third Young Master wouldn’t…find him out, right?

[Young Master: Third Brother, have you found anything? Tell us quickly.]

Jingyi: Gulp.

[Li Ting: Butler Jing, your fever is as high as 39.8 degrees. Your brain must have been cooked, right? Gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga…]

Jing Yi: “…………”

He felt relieved.

You three can investigate it, but one of you keeps silent. If you keep going like this, you will never find him.

After chatting for a while in the group, Jing Yi felt relaxed. The three young masters not only did not doubt him, but had already begun to rule him out from outer space.

Time slipped into the afternoon unknowingly. Jing Yi stood up and ran to the door of the study. Li Wenzhao was still in a meeting.

This international conference started at eight in the morning. Li Wenzhao spoke foreign languages ​​fluently and professionally, and he could handle it alone. His pronunciation was like a listening tape. Jing Yi felt dizzy after listening to it for a while, so he quietly retracted his head and walked away without disturbing him.

The eldest young master works hard to earn money to support his family, so he should just lie down and recuperate.

It was time for dinner. Jing Yi was thinking about what to buy when Fan Ming called. “Butler Jing, Mr. Li asked me to deliver the documents to his home. If it’s convenient, could you please open the door for me later?”

Of course it was convenient for Jing Yi, and his throat had recovered, so he simply agreed: “Okay.”

Thinking of something, Jing Yi added, “Could you please do me a favor, Secretary Fan?”

Fan Ming: “Of course, go ahead.”

“A batch of goods has arrived, and the organization has decided to send you to meet them.”

Fan Ming: “?”

Jing Yi: “I sent you the code.”

Fan Ming was silent for a long time, then said speechlessly: “Butler Jing, if you want me to help pick up the package, just tell me directly, why are you beating around the bush?”

This made him very excited, and he thought that the young mistress had done something illegal behind the young master’s back. As a direct participant, he had to report, report, and report.

It’s so difficult.

Fortunately, Butler Jing still knows his limits.

After talking with Fan Ming, Jing Yi immediately called the star-rated restaurant downstairs to order food. He had been ill these past few days, and the meals were delivered by this restaurant, which tasted very good. To thank Secretary Fan for helping him pick up the express, he ordered two servings of Ma You Yu and Sichuan pepper pork ribs, which were Secretary Fan’s favorites.

Twenty minutes later, Fan Ming arrived with the express delivery and documents.

Li Wenzhao had just finished a meeting and discussed some work matters with Fan Ming, so Jing Yi sat cross-legged on the carpet and opened the package.

After unpacking the package, the three of them had a meal together happily.

Jing Yi’s illness had not fully recovered, so Li Wenzhao placed some spicy foods far away, leaving him no chance to pick up their chopsticks.

Actually, Jing Yi didn’t really have to eat, but after being reminded by Li Wenzhao in such a grand manner, he found those things more attractive no matter how he looked at them.

Want to eat.

“I’m fine.” Jing Yi said.

Li Wenzhao was unmoved, “To prevent the disease from recurring, you should abstain from food for two more days.”

Jing Yi narrowed his eyes. He suspected that Li Wenzhao thought he was made of glass. That was impossible. Even if he was not as good as steel, he was still made of cement. Why would he have to avoid eating just because of a minor cold?

Severe peeling.

Li Wenzhao paused and asked, “Swearing?”

【……】

Jing Yi was stunned, lowered his head, and ate rice with chopsticks.

Fan Ming didn’t say a word the whole time and was too nervous to pick up his chopsticks. Here it comes again, that weird atmosphere.

Jing Yi couldn’t eat what he wanted, and the bone on the back of his neck suddenly grew rebellious. He rolled his eyes and set his sights on the silent Fan Ming: “Secretary Fan, do you want to eat seafood? It’s too far to get it, I can help you…”

He stretched out his chopsticks, but the fish and the plate escaped before him.

Jing Yi: “…”

Li Wenzhao knew too well what was in Jingyi’s mind, so he took advantage of the situation in advance and brought the grilled fish full of red peppers to a place where Jingyi couldn’t reach.

The housekeeper immediately became dispirited.

It’s not that Li Wenzhao is cruel, it’s just that most of the dishes on this table are spicy. If he lets the little housekeeper eat them, he will probably turn into a quacking duck overnight… Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows when he caught a glimpse of Jing Yi’s restless hands.

“Which dish have you set your sights on now?”

Jing Yi paused, then turned his head and scratched the edge of the table guiltily, “I didn’t, I wanted to get a napkin.”

Jing Yi reached out to the napkin box and pulled it three times with great force.

Li Wenzhao looked at his hand that turned sharply in the middle of the journey meaningfully, “I misunderstood you.”

Jing Yi pouted and said, “I forgive you.”

Li Wenzhao: “…………”

The brief confrontation at the table ended. Fan Ming dared not to breathe a word. He left quickly after finishing his meal, not daring to stay for even a minute longer.

After everyone left, Jing Yi lay down beside the dining table, rolling a cup in his hand, and asked tentatively: “When there are outsiders around, can you give me a little face?”

[You manage me like a child. How will Secretary Fan see me? ]

Li Wenzhao was putting the dishes into the kitchen. He was stunned when he heard this: “What face do you want?”

Jing Yi curled the corners of his lips: “It’s the face of an adult.”

Li Wenzhao pulled out a napkin from under his elbow and raised his hand to push him to sit on a chair: “Don’t worry, in Fan Ming’s eyes, you are not an adult, at least not mentally.”

Jing Yi is just a good guy!

So you guys have been treating me like a child all this time?

“Not really.” A hand reached out from the side of his head and gently poked his puffy cheeks, poking back the angry expression on his face: “You are a happy person, everyone who sees you wants to laugh.”

Jing Yi’s heart moved: “Oh, it turns out that I am a joke.”

Li Wenzhao: “…”

Li Wenzhao was used to his train of thought and said in a contemptuous tone, “Master of understanding.”

Jing Yi moved his lips and pushed the hand stuck on his face, “Master of Understanding is about to be poked by you.”

“It’s not that easy to break.” Li Wenzhao was stunned. He didn’t take his hand back, but pinched Jingyi’s face instead.

It feels really good.

Pinch it again.

Jing Yi: “…”
