Qingyun Hotel.

In bed, Lin Yun embraced Xia Qingqing.

"Big Brother, do you like Mengmeng?" Xia Qingqing whispered in Lin Yun's ear from his shoulder, suddenly asking this question.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Yun hastily pushed Xia Qingqing away and replied.

Could it be that he was too kind to Lin Mengmeng today and made the young girl jealous?

"Big Brother's heartbeat sped up..." Xia Qingqing broke into a smile and said, with no hint of anger in her tone.

"You scared me by suddenly asking this. Wouldn't it be strange if I didn't get a fright? Don't overthink, having you in my life is enough. Are you jealous because I gave her three bottles of Qingyun Supreme today?" Lin Yun said helplessly.

"Big Brother, your face is somewhat red, you always act like this when you try to hide something." Xia Qingqing blinked her eyes and said.

"Let me guess, um...have you fallen for Mengmeng?" Xia Qingqing teased as she said with a smile.

Then, without waiting for Lin Yun to respond, Xia Qingqing embraced him again.

"Big Brother, these days, everything feels like a dream. I'm so afraid that when the dream ends, I'll lose you... Mengmeng has a great personality and is very beautiful, plus her family background is good. Just like you, she practiced martial arts from a young age, which makes her a perfect match for you. It's normal for you to be attracted to her..." Xia Qingqing murmured.

Children from poor families always feel a sense of inferiority more than others. Lin Yun was from an ordinary background, and so was Xia Qingqing.

Lin Yun was a bit insecure before. Didn't Xia Qingqing feel the same now?

"Qingqing, don't think too much. In my life, having you..." Seeing Xia Qingqing like this, Lin Yun couldn't help feeling a pang of tenderness. He gently embraced her and spoke softly.

But before Lin Yun could finish his words, Xia Qingqing's soft lips sealed his mouth.

"In my life, having you is enough. But, Big Brother, you don't need to make a promise. I only hope to be by your side throughout my life, that would be satisfying..." Xia Qingqing looked up, her eyes filled with deep affection as she gazed at Lin Yun and whispered.

She had a premonition that Lin Yun's life would not be ordinary, and it would be far from just average.

She was frightened that she, being an ordinary person, would increasingly be unable to keep up with Lin Yun's pace.

Life was still long, and she was afraid that as they moved along, she would lose pace with Lin Yun.

It had taken her a long time to make this decision.

This decision came from the bottom of her heart.

Rather than parting ways with Lin Yun in the future, she would rather set him free of clingy expectations, as long as she could always be by his side.

This was the ultimate expression of love.

It was somewhat humble.

"Big Brother... you can have me now... Take me... I want to have your child..." Seeing that Lin Yun was about to say something, Xia Qingqing had already once again held him tight, biting her lip, red-faced, her voice trembling slightly.

There was something she didn't say.

She didn't know whether Lin Yun had fallen for Lin Mengmeng or not, but she felt that Lin Mengmeng had fallen for Lin Yun today.

It was a woman's intuition, which was the primary reason that led her to this decision today.

Should he fall for someone else in the future, she would rather that person be Lin Mengmeng.

She was unsure of the future, but she wanted to have their child if they were to part ways eventually.

Xia Qingqing was already extremely beautiful. Her state at this moment was even more alluring. Upon hearing her words, Lin Yun could no longer resist. He passionately kissed her snow-white neck while his hands began wandering over her body.

The clothes, piece by piece, fell onto various parts of the bed, and soon the room echoed with sounds of ecstasy.

"Mmm... Big Brother... be gentler..."

...

The Lin Family.

In the depth of an antiquely styled building.

A middle-aged man was practicing calligraphy at a desk, donned in a long white robe and exuding an aura of scholarly elegance, appearing like an ancient scholar.

A mischievous girl was tiptoeing up to him from behind.

Suddenly, the little girl's hands were on the man's eyes and she let out a bell-like laughter, cheerfully asking, "Guess who I am?"

"Haha! Who else could it be? It must be my precious daughter!" The middle-aged man showed no surprise and even though blindfolded, he smoothly completed the character beneath his brush. Then he put down his brush and broke into laughter.

"Mengmeng, how come you found the time to visit?" The middle-aged man turned around and gazed at the mischievous girl, smiling with great affection.

This mischievous girl was none other than Lin Mengmeng.

The middle-aged man was the current sect leader of Golden Sword Sect, Lin Yuanshan.

"Daddy, you're so annoying. You weren't scared at all!", Lin Mengmeng pouted, clutching Lin Yuanshan's arm.

"Mengmeng, it's not that Dad didn't play along, but I'm almost done with this piece. It'd be a pity if it got ruined!" Lin Yuanshan chuckled.

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook, considering you're almost done with your calligraphy," said Lin Mengmeng authoritatively, glancing at Lin Yuanshan's almost completed work. She stood stoutly and added, "and being your daughter, I'll pardon you, hehe!" Yet, she couldn't help but giggle at the end.

"I came by this time to bring my dad a present!" Lin Mengmeng brightened upon recalling her purpose for visiting.

"Oh? What kind of treat is it that even reminded my precious daughter of her father?" Lin Yuanshan playfully asked.

"A bottle of wine. I've poured it in your favorite flask and brought it here. It's all ready!" Lin Mengmeng brought out a delicate white jade pot from behind and happily handed it to Lin Yuanshan.

"Wine?" Lin Yuanshan's eyes lit.

"I'm indeed eager to try this exceptional wine that has impressed my precious daughter so much!" Lin Yuanshan beamed.

He was quite fond of wine.

In his opinion, practicing martial arts, calligraphy, and savoring wine were life's greatest pleasures.

"Let me pour you a drink, Daddy." Lin Mengmeng offered eagerly.

There was a clean cup on the table. She quickly poured a drink.

"Good wine!" Just as Mengmeng poured the drink, an intoxicating aroma filled the air, immediately praised by Lin Yuanshan as the scent caught him.

"Let me taste it!" Upon seeing the fine wine, Lin Yuanshan was too impatient to wait. He picked up the cup and laughed.

As his words fell, he took a sip.

A fantastic taste filled his mouth almost instantly, as if he had just taken a sip of ambrosia.

"What an incredible wine in this world—" Lin Yuanshan gasped.

In his life, he had tasted many delicious wines, but never something as delicious as this one.

"Eh?" Just then, Lin Yuanshan felt a surge of energy spreading throughout his body. He uttered a soft cry of surprise.

"Is this… medicinal wine?" Lin Yuanshan was astounded.

A wine as delicious as this was already extremely rare, let alone one being a medicinal wine. It was nothing short of extraordinary.

"Glug!" Lin Yuanshan immediately drank the rest of the cup.

Then, he closed his eyes, taking his time to savor the wine.

After a while, he opened his eyes, looked at Lin Mengmeng and asked with a hint of excitement, "Mengmeng, where did you get this wine?"

"This wine was a gift from a friend!" Lin Mengmeng was quite chuffed seeing Lin Yuanshan's reaction and instantly puffed out her chest in pride while answering his question.

Indeed, the wine was precious. Claiming it was a gift held more prestige than if she'd bought it.

"A friend gave it to you?" Lin Yuanshan was amazed and added, "This wine isn't cheap. This...no, a bottle must be worth at least eighteen million, right? What kind of friend is so generous?"

As he spoke, he noticed the half bottle of leftover wine on a tea table behind Mengmeng and could not contain his excitement. A whole bottle of such wine - it was indeed a special treat!
