Chapter 1595: Chapter 1595

Li Yifei squatted down, held Lin Qiong’s somewhat cold hand, pressed it against his face, looked at her tenderly, and said, "Mm, I’m back."

"It’s good you’re back, I initially promised to go home and see you after everything was done, but then something unexpected happened..." Lin Qiong frowned, feeling a bit guilty, as per her previous personality, she rarely admitted mistakes or felt guilty, but now she did, making Li Yifei even more heartbroken. He shook his head, saying, "It’s not your fault, besides, you killed a drug dealer, they should reward you!"

Lin Qiong smiled slightly and said, "No need for a reward, as a police officer, this is what I’m supposed to do. However, as a wife, I was indeed too careless, knowing you’d be home soon, and yet chasing after drug dealers!"

Li Yifei squeezed Lin Qiong’s palm and said, "Alright, no need to blame yourself now, does it hurt?"

When pain was mentioned, Lin Qiong felt it, frowned even tighter, her voice weakened, sounding a bit like she was acting spoiled, and said to Li Yifei, "It hurts, my whole stomach feels numb."

Li Yifei, feeling heartache, said, "I’ll use True Qi to help alleviate it a bit, though the effect might not be strong."

Lin Qiong nodded slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "Alright, I’ll take it anyway."

Li Yifei channeled a stream of True Qi through his palm into Lin Qiong’s body, following the meridians to her afflicted area. Due to the destructive power of the bullet, not only did it pierce the uterus, but it also damaged nearby internal organs, making this a very troublesome surgery, requiring not only repair of organs like the colon but also the uterus and other organs, hence the meridians in this area were damaged as well.

With the meridians broken, Li Yifei’s True Qi faced obstructions, but Li Yifei had his ways, after all, there wasn’t just one meridian.

True Qi entered, spreading slowly along small meridians, carrying a slight healing effect, and a few seconds later, Lin Qiong felt the pain lessen somewhat, although it wasn’t instantaneous, her cold body also gained some warmth.

Upon waking up, she felt very cold, partly because she lost a lot of blood during surgery, leading to lower body temperature.

With her body warmed a bit, Lin Qiong squeezed out a smile at Li Yifei and said, "Thank you, husband."

Li Yifei continued channeling True Qi and said, "Silly girl."

Not long after she woke, Li Yifei informed the family, and soon the women arrived, visiting the room in turns with flowers they bought placed on the windowsill, extending their regards to Lin Qiong. After a while, the women left, since Li Yifei was there to look after Lin Qiong, others staying wouldn’t have space, plus they wanted to leave some private time for the two.

Once everyone had left, Lin Qiong said, "There are many people in our family, it seems very nice, when they came just now, I felt so surprised, I’ve never had so many visitors when hospitalized for injuries before."

"Stop saying silly things, rather have no visitors than being injured and hospitalized!" Li Yifei tapped Lin Qiong’s nose and said.

Lin Qiong bit her lip and said, "Alright, it’s just me trying to find joy amidst hardship!"

Li Yifei thanked the busy nurse just now, who came to teach him how to use the hospital bed and urinal, and gave instructions. After seeing her off, Li Yifei pulled up a chair next to the bed to sit down, seeing Lin Qiong looking at him with bright eyes.

Li Yifei raised a brow and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I was thinking about something, but unfortunately it can’t come true."

"I was thinking, in this environment, if we do that kind of thing, would it be more exciting? I dressed in a nurse’s outfit, lifting my white coat, with nothing on underneath..." Lin Qiong said mischievously, then regretfully sighed, "Unfortunately I got shot, and you are tormented by worms, heaven doesn’t allow us any excitement."

Li Yifei listened, mouth agape, staring at Lin Qiong, took quite a while before shaking his head, pointing at her, face caught between laughing and crying.

"Why such an expression, my stomach hurts, can’t I talk about something else to distract myself?" Lin Qiong countered.

Li Yifei nodded quickly and said, "Allowed, of course allowed, just... is it to that extent of longing?"

Lin Qiong replied, "Although I can endure it, but... having tasted something so good, not seeing you was fine, but seeing you, my mind is filled with your big fellow, can you blame me for thinking about it, moreover, I found when I think randomly, my tummy doesn’t hurt as much..."

Li Yifei pressed his hands down in a gesture of surrender and said, "Okay, okay, you think what you want, but even without the Worm, I definitely can’t do that kind of thing now."

Sure enough, it was Lin Qiong; she did things in such a unique way, Li Yifei thought silently as he looked at his beloved wife.

With the support of True Qi, the pain in Lin Qiong’s abdomen had eased a lot, otherwise she might not have been able to sleep at all. After chatting for a while, Lin Qiong yawned, tilted her head to look at Li Yifei, smacked her lips twice, and said regretfully, "What a pity, what a pity, otherwise I would satisfy you with any position tonight!"

"Ha... if you’re tired, just sleep obediently. Don’t think about those messy things! Once you’re well, and I’m well too, we can do it all the way until we grow old! I promise," Li Yifei said.

Lin Qiong pouted her lips, skeptically saying, "In ten years, my skin will sag, by then my chest will sag, my butt will sag, even down there will sag, will you still like me? You guys can live very long, by then I’ll be an old granny, and you’ll still be handsome and stylish, strong and fit, the one you go after won’t be me."

This question left Li Yifei at a loss for words, as if none of the women in his household had ever brought up such a topic, but it didn’t mean they hadn’t considered it. Women like Lin Qiong, Su Mengxin, Xu Yingying, and He Fangqing were relatively older, and in another ten years, they’ll be approaching forty. Even if they maintain well, it would be hard to avoid fading beauty, while Li Yifei might live very long, with his body able to change at his will. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel[f]ire.net

The women were both envious and helpless, since not everyone could reach the Innate Realm, maintain youth, and achieve true longevity.

One casual remark from Lin Qiong sent Li Yifei into deep thought. Originally, Li Yifei had found a solution, which was achieving the goal of his entire family cultivating through Dual Cultivation, but the damned Worm ruined Li Yifei’s dream. If he didn’t resolve the Worm, he couldn’t realize it.

Li Yifei fell silent, his expression turning ugly. Lin Qiong knew she had said something wrong; at this moment, she shouldn’t put pressure on Li Yifei. She held Li Yifei’s hand, gently rubbing it.

After a long time, Li Yifei raised his head, gave Lin Qiong a smile, and said, "Don’t worry, I will find a solution. I definitely won’t make you wait too long. Trust me."

Lin Qiong nodded repeatedly, saying, "Of course, I trust you, hubby. I’m tired, shall we sleep?"

Lin Qiong didn’t want Li Yifei to worry too much, but she also didn’t have a good solution right now.

"Okay!" Li Yifei stood up, leaned in, and gave Lin Qiong a peck on the lips, but she directly held his head and started kissing him.

They kissed for a few minutes before separating. Lin Qiong, satisfied, licked her lips with a blush on her face, full of charm, and said, "So good, still feels like the old days."

"Feels like a dish!" Li Yifei pointed to his own mouth and said.

Lin Qiong happily closed her eyes, and Li Yifei sat in the chair next to her, holding one of Lin Qiong’s hands, and said, "Sleep, I’ll go to sleep once you’re asleep!"

Lin Qiong made a sound of agreement, slowly closed her eyes with a sweet expression on her face, and fell asleep.

That night, Li Yifei didn’t sleep either. Lin Qiong needed an IV drip at night, needed her wounds redressed, going through it several times, and couldn’t sleep well herself, so Li Yifei, even more so, didn’t sleep. Fortunately, with his current state, he didn’t mind sleepless nights, so it didn’t count as trouble.

After a whole night of True Qi treatment, by morning, Lin Qiong moved her body slightly and surprisingly found it wasn’t as painful, making her happy, deciding to reward Li Yifei with a kiss, hugging his head, she kissed for ten minutes.

If the door hadn’t been pushed open, Lin Qiong probably would have kissed even longer, feeling like she couldn’t kiss enough.

Su Mengxin, along with Chu Xiaoyao and Meng Xiaofei came in, bringing breakfast for Li Yifei. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to bring some for Lin Qiong, but Lin Qiong still couldn’t eat anything until the stitches healed a bit more.

The three women were also there to switch with Li Yifei, to keep Lin Qiong company.

After Lin Qiong expressed her gratitude, she looked enviously at Li Yifei eating, licking her lips repeatedly with a very greedy expression. She hadn’t eaten since yesterday’s ordeal, and while Li Yifei hadn’t eaten either, in the end, he could, and she couldn’t, making her feel even greedier.

Li Yifei noticed Lin Qiong’s pitiful state, finished his breakfast in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and was about to speak when he received a call from Song Ranmin. On the phone, Song Ranmin first asked about Lin Qiong’s condition. Li Yifei said she was already awake, and it depended on how she healed afterward. Song Ranmin was relieved. If anything happened to Lin Qiong, it was hard to say that Li Yifei wouldn’t direct his anger at those involved.

Song Ranmin then explained the progress on the drug trafficking case. It was a very large case, spanning multiple provinces and cities, with possibly over a hundred direct participants. Simultaneously arrested were other provinces’ drug dealers. There were four police officers who died, showing how brutal these drug dealers were. The higher-ups were quite shaken, and even the National Public Security Department was alarmed, forming a Special Investigation Team to oversee the case.

After hanging up Song Ranmin’s call, Secretary Song Zhentao called, saying he would try to quickly file Lin Qiong’s heroic deeds report to get her a national moral model or top ten youth award by the end of the year.
