Chapter 48: Where Are You Looking?

Xiao Nan's spacious bedroom was entirely empty.

Aside from a bed and a desk, there was nothing else in the room.

It seemed she really needed to find some time to purchase a few more things for Xiao Nan.

Lin Shuyun mentally scolded herself for her oversight.

She somehow felt as though their Lin family was mistreating Xiao Nan.

If Xiao Nan had any inkling of Lin Shuyun's thoughts at that moment, he probably would have smiled and told her she was overthinking things.

For Xiao Nan, cultivation was of the utmost importance.

He had never been one to fuss over material possessions.

To him, this bedroom was merely a temporary sanctuary for spiritual practice.

The simpler, the better; if there were too much cluttered miscellaneous stuff around, he would actually dislike it.

Lin Ziqing did not have nearly as many thoughts running through her head as her older sister.

Upon entering the room, she walked straight up to Xiao Nan and said, "Xiao Nan, you must go and treat Mayor Xia."

Seeing the young woman's attitude, Lin Shuyun could not help but wryly smile.

She had known that, given her younger sister's usual hostility toward Xiao Nan, she would not speak nicely to him at all once she got inside.

And as expected, things turned out just as she thought.

Xiao Nan could not help but roll his eyes as well.

At this moment, Lin Ziqing had already changed out of the blue evening gown she had worn to the banquet earlier.

She was now wearing a simple white spaghetti-strap dress.

Her two fair, slender legs were currently displayed right in front of Xiao Nan, dazzling him to the point of dizziness.

"On what grounds?"

"Back at the banquet earlier, didn't you both see how that jerk outside had me chased out?"

"Not only me, but he also made the entire Lin family make a long trip over there, only for us not to even get a bite to eat."

"Now that they realize their mistake, they come running to beg me? How could anything that wonderful happen?"

Xiao Nan sat cross-legged on the bed, showing no intention of getting up whatsoever.

"You..."

Lin Ziqing's pretty face darkened, and she opened her mouth as if to say something more.

Sensing the situation and fearing another argument was about to break out, Lin Shuyun quickly pulled Lin Ziqing aside.

She then sat down right next to Xiao Nan. "Xiao Nan, many of the Lin family's businesses rely on government support, especially the real estate development company I manage. Every time we develop a plot of land, we have to participate in municipal bidding."

"And whether we win the bid each time—you could say the power of life and death over it lies entirely in the hands of the mayor."

"For all these years, our Lin family has constantly been maintaining connections and making the rounds just to keep a decent relationship with Mayor Xia."

"If something were to happen to him, our family's businesses in Luocheng would inevitably suffer a massive blow."

"So, Xiao Nan, if you really can cure Mayor Xia's illness, please help out. Consider it a favor to the Lin family."

Lin Shuyun's dressing style had always been somewhat more conservative than Lin Ziqing's.

Right now, she was wearing a relatively conservative cartoon hoodie.

Even so, the plump curves on her chest could barely be contained by the fabric.

True to being the eldest sister, this prospective eldest sister-in-law of his—

Her pair of mounds were noticeably firmer and more prominent than those of Xiao Nan's fiancée, Lin Ziqing.

He wondered if Lin Ziqing still had any room left to grow.

Xiao Nan turned his head, his gaze inadvertently sweeping past Lin Shuyun's ample chest, and could not help muttering inwardly to himself.

However, if Lin Ziqing were willing to cooperate...

Even though she had already passed her developmental stage, with Xiao Nan's medical skills, artificially helping her develop further would not be difficult at all.

"My sister is talking to you."

"You jerk, where are you looking?"

Originally, she had come here thinking she was asking a favor of Xiao Nan and wondering whether she should speak a bit more nicely to him.

But when she looked down and saw this guy's eyes darting back and forth between
