Chapter Title: It's Early in the Morning, What Are You Doing?
-------------------------------------
"How’s the effect?"
At this moment, the most excited person was actually the old master of the Shen family upon seeing Shen Mingshu come out while holding the child.
Even though he had already guessed it upon seeing Shen Yingying's appearance, he still couldn't help but ask.
"The effect is very good! Too good!"
Shen Mingshu, a grown man in his thirties or forties, actually had a somewhat choked voice at this time.
After answering his old father's question, he took a few quick steps to Su Yi's front and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for saving Yingying's life. I, Shen Mingshu, owe you a massive favor.
If you ever need my help with anything in the future, just let me know. As long as it's something I can do, I’ll absolutely not decline!"
"This is just taking people's money to eliminate their misfortunes. I’m just doing my part, so there's really no need to talk about favors here."
Su Yi waved his hand.
The other party had already given him a lot. There was no need to be greedy here.
"I'll make a phone call right now and have someone transfer the money to your company's account immediately."
After speaking, Shen Mingshu didn't forget to say to the little girl in his arms:
"Yingying, it was this uncle who saved your life. Hurry and thank him."
The little girl wasn't afraid of strangers either. Hearing this, she said in a crisp voice:
"Thank you, Uncle, and thank you, Auntie."
The "Auntie" she added naturally referred to Yue Ling, who had been following Su Yi all along.
Others didn't know, but this little girl was very clear that the person who made her suddenly feel very comfortable that night was this auntie.
It was also from that time that she had heard her dad say that her illness had gotten much better.
She had told Shen Mingshu about this, but the latter, who only regarded Yue Ling as Su Yi's assistant, thought that the little girl had mistakenly taken the assistant for her main benefactor and didn't pay it any mind.
Su Yi shook his head and didn't speak. Rather, after hearing the little girl's thanks, Yue Ling gently squeezed the former’s hand.
After receiving Su Yi's affirmation, she smiled radiantly and said:
"You're welcome. Auntie wishes that when you grow up, you’ll become a wise person combining wisdom and beauty, and that you’ll be healthy and safe your whole life."
As she spoke, her fingers gently brushed across the girl's forehead, and finally, she pinched her slightly chubby, baby fat-filled cheeks.
A glint of light flashed at her fingertips, which no one noticed.
The Elven Race were all heavily influenced by appearances.
Yue Ling found this little girl cute, so she intended to give her a little gift.
Su Yi naturally had no reason to object.
......
Shen Mingshu quickly finished his phone call. Not long after, Su Yi also received an account activity notification for his company's account.
The Tianyu Holdings account, which originally had one hundred million in it, saw its balance turn into eight hundred million in the blink of an eye.
With the money paid and the goods delivered, at least from Su Yi's perspective, the two parties were now considered even.
And after they finished things up, the old master of the Shen family took the opportunity to bring up the matter he had mentioned earlier.
Hearing this, and confirming that Su Yi could indeed manufacture that kind of medicine again, Shen Mingshu immediately agreed to the old master's proposal.
He immediately stated that he could mobilize the funds within three days and continue to invest another one billion in Su Yi’s company. He also didn't expect to get any shares from the medical company or anything like that.
He only hoped that, just as Old Master Shen had said before, their family of four could be supplied with this special medicine produced by Su Yi in the future.
That was, Old Master Shen, the siblings Shen Mingshu and Shen Mingyue, and the third-generation Shen Yingying.
With only such a small request for one billion, Su Yi naturally had no reason to refuse.
After the two parties made a verbal agreement, they planned to make a final resolution after the funds were deployed and in place three days later.
This could also be considered a buffer period the Shen family left for themselves.
Although after half a bottle of medicine went down, Shen Yingying now looked as healthy as could be, and even her hair had grown so incredibly long in just half an hour…
It was simply no different from a miracle…
But without going to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up, they still couldn't quite believe that cancer could be cured so quickly.
So even though they already believed it by around ninety percent, they still couldn't help but have a little bit of doubt.
Su Yi didn't think much of it.
If they really trusted him brainlessly and didn't even do a medical check-up, then there would truly be something wrong with their heads.
When Su Yi and Yue Ling came out of the Shen family's house, it was already past eleven at night.
The procedures for their villa had also been pretty much completed. Even the property rights certificate had been properly handled for Su Yi.
But although it was said that this villa was fully furnished and ready to be moved in at any time, in reality, it naturally wasn't that fast.
The property management over there was arranging for people over these two days to do a thorough cleaning inside and out of the villa, which had been vacant for a long time.
Then came checking the circuits, natural gas pipelines, water pipes, and other internal facilities of the house to see if there were any abnormalities under the condition of long-term disuse.
Only after all the cleaning and checking were completely finished could Su Yi move in.
This wouldn't take long either. The property management of the villa district was quite experienced with this.
By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, Su Yi would be able to move in.
So tonight, he still had to stay in a hotel.
The area they were in was the suburbs, so there weren't any good star-rated hotels nearby.
After searching around for a bit, they found an esports hotel that looked pretty good.
And there was only one double esports room left.
What else could be done? They just had to sleep in the same room!
Fortunately, Yue Ling's internet addiction was very strong, and it seemed like it didn't matter to her whether they slept in separate rooms or not.
Anyway, she didn't sleep and spent the whole night focusing on playing games instead.
When Su Yi woke up early the next morning, Yue Ling was still sitting on the edge of the bed playing games.
Nowadays, the games she played were no longer limited to simple things like Tetris and match-3 games. She had actually started playing ‘Peacekeeper Elite’*.
Since using the language card, she communicated frequently with her teammates via voice chat.
As a result, she was ranking up like crazy.
Su Yi didn't know how the style of a perfectly good elven princess had suddenly turned into this.
But he didn't intend to disturb her either, so he just quietly watched her play from the side.
Yue Ling knew he was awake and was quite unceremonious about it. She immediately adjusted her posture on the bed, rested her head on Su Yi's arm, leaned her entire body into his embrace, and focused intently on the phone screen to play her game.
Su Yi: ......
‘No, it's early in the morning, what are you doing?
This is the time of day when a man's yang energy** is at its heaviest, and you're using this time to test a man?
What man could withstand such a test?’
"Do you truly not understand what you’re doing, or are you pretending not to understand?"
Su Yi wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered softly in her ear.
Yue Ling paid it no mind and said while playing her game:
"I’m an elven princess, and I’ve received royal education since childhood."
"?"
Su Yi was stunned for a moment.
"So?"
"There are many royal descendants, and I’m not the only princess of our Elven Race. Because of our appearance, many races or countries, after establishing a certain relationship with us, will demand marriage alliances. Most of the time, a royal princess is actually just a tool for marriage alliances, and as one of those tools, I naturally received relevant education."
Yue Ling rolled her eyes at him.
"You don't really think I'm someone who doesn't understand anything at all about the matters between men and women... A white lotus***? Is that the term?"
"So what do you mean now?"
Su Yi's hand wrapping around her slender waist tightened a bit more.
Yue Ling didn't speak. She just continued playing her game.
Not speaking naturally meant tacit consent.
"Wait a minute! The game isn't finished yet! I'm about to get a chicken dinner!"
"It's fine, you can eat chicken right now."

T/N - So they really did get together. FYI, the author doesn’t really detail it in the next chapter, but it’s basically confirmed that they did the deed. Chinese web novels tend to avoid sex scenes, so I expected it, and I’m fine with it. Less work for me. It’s really “hard” to translate adult chapters, you know. 😅
