Chapter 127

"Sister Lan, what... what should we do?"

Xu Haokun, the young master of the Xu family from the provincial capital, had just died right outside the Blue Phoenix Bar. This was a massive catastrophe!

Looking at the severed limbs scattered across the ground, even Blue Phoenix, who hailed from a criminal underworld family, couldn't help but feel a pounding headache.

"No matter what connections you have to pull, no matter what methods you use, I want to know exactly who that man is by twelve o'clock tomorrow!"

Blue Phoenix watched the direction in which Chu Tianhe had vanished, a flicker of bewilderment crossing her eyes.

Such formidable strength and such ruthless methods only deepened her interest in Chu Tianhe. She decided to conduct a thorough investigation into him—this man who had captivated her at first glance.

The next morning!

Chu Tianhe rose early to prepare breakfast for his daughter.

Qin Xiaomeng was also up early. Watching Chu Tianhe busy in the kitchen, a trace of undeniable affection involuntarily flickered in her eyes.

"You're both awake, so why are you still dawdling in bed? Get up and go help!"

Yang Huijuan walked past Qin Xiaomeng’s bedroom and, seeing her still sitting on the bed, instinctively chided her, telling her to go to the kitchen and lend a hand.

"Oh!"

Qin Xiaomeng didn't think much of it. Dressed in nothing but a white shirt, she climbed out of bed and headed straight for the kitchen.

"Brother-in-law, let me help you."

Qin Xiaomeng began chopping vegetables with practiced ease. However, she failed to notice that because she had just woken up, she was wearing only that single white shirt.

She always dressed this way at home, but since she hadn't lived with Chu Tianhe before, she hadn't changed her habits or paid attention to these details.

Little did she know, her attire was a lethal temptation for any man.

Chu Tianhe was no exception. After catching a glimpse of her, he was momentarily stunned, followed by a look of utter embarrassment. He couldn't help but clear his throat. "Ahem..."

"Brother-in-law, are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever?"

Even then, Qin Xiaomeng didn't realize the issue with her clothing. Instead, she walked up to him with concern and reached out to touch his forehead.

This movement caused the scenery within her shirt to be laid bare before Chu Tianhe's eyes.

"Um... Xiaomeng, don't you think... you should change your clothes?"

Chu Tianhe had no choice but to offer a reminder.

Qin Xiaomeng finally snapped back to reality. Her cheeks turned crimson in an instant. She pulled her hand back, let out a shriek, and turned to sprint out of the kitchen, rushing straight into her room.

"That silly girl, what’s gotten into her so early in the morning?"

Seeing this, Yang Huijuan cast a puzzled glance toward Qin Xiaomeng's room. Like her daughter, Yang Huijuan hadn't realized the issue with Qin Xiaomeng's attire.

After all, she and Qin Xiaomeng had lived together for so long that she was accustomed to her dressing this way. Furthermore, in Yang Huijuan's mind, she didn't view Chu Tianhe as an outsider; both of them were simply her children.

"Auntie, it's the first day of kindergarten for Yaoyao today. Would you mind taking her?"

Seeing Yang Huijuan walk into the kitchen, Chu Tianhe offered a faint smile.

"Yes, I'll take her. You go ahead and do what you need to do," Yang Huijuan replied with a smile, then immediately followed up, "By the way, Tianhe, how is that traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture clinic you mentioned coming along?"

"Do you have enough money?"
