Xiaomai trusts Ye Qiu a lot. Whatever Ye Qiu says goes. Lin Xiang pouts, sitting there watching Ye Qiu check. If there really was any surveillance footage captured, that would be terrible.

After Ye Qiu finishes the inspection and confirms there’s nothing wrong, he leaves the two girls’ room.

Seeing Ye Qiu leave, he goes to Cao Ling’s room and knocks on the door. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Cao Ling is inside.

Actually, she rarely goes out alone, mainly because of her status. This time in the Capital City, if Ye Qiu hadn’t accompanied her, her grandfather might have had two soldiers follow to protect her.

Hearing the knock at the door, Cao Ling thought it was a maid.

When she opened the door and found it was Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu, what’s up?"

"Let’s talk inside."

Inside, as Ye Qiu looked around, Cao Ling didn’t quite understand what he was thinking, especially when he moved towards the large bed where she had just laid out her intimate clothing, as she was about to take a shower, unexpectedly, Ye Qiu saw it all.

"Ye Qiu, what are you looking for?"

"Surveillance footage."

Surveillance footage?

In fact, many people haven’t really noticed pinhole cameras or similar hidden devices.

That time during a spring trip with classmates to Lianyungang, Ye Qiu stayed in a hotel, especially in that inn where they found some hidden cameras; thinking about it was terrifying.

If someone like Cao Ling was walking around inside without wearing much, wouldn’t all that be secretly filmed?

"There shouldn’t be any in a five-star hotel, right?"

Cao Ling felt that a five-star hotel wouldn’t dare to do such a thing, otherwise, it would ruin their reputation; who would dare to stay there in the future?

"It might not be the hotel, could be some peeping tom."

Given that, Cao Ling sat there, letting Ye Qiu search. She thought Ye Qiu was quite meticulous; she hadn’t thought of these things, but Ye Qiu did.

Ye Qiu carefully checked once more, and when he found there really wasn’t anything, he said: "Miss Cao, there really isn’t anything."

"That’s good," Cao Ling said.

"Then I’ll head back to rest."

"You and that Miss Liu?"

Cao Ling still couldn’t quite believe Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu would be staying in the same room?

"She’s my girlfriend, isn’t that normal?"

When Ye Qiu said it, Cao Ling felt it was true.

But, for some reason, she felt uncomfortable. That bastard clearly has a girlfriend, so why did he intentionally stir her heart?

Especially since he also wanted a kiss from her.

Now that he had a girlfriend, if she gave him a kiss, wouldn’t she be giving her first kiss to Ye Qiu?

Ye Qiu didn’t know what Cao Ling was thinking. He left her room, returned to his room, where Liu Lingxiu had already finished her bath and stepped out.

She was in the living room drying her hair.

Ye Qiu went to shower, and after he finished, he sat in the wicker chair on the balcony, looking out at the nightscape of the Capital City.

These types of hotels almost always have wicker chairs and tables by the windows or on the balconies for guests to enjoy the breeze and chat.

Liu Lingxiu came out with her hair dried. Ye Qiu said, "Lingshow, come sit with me."

As Liu Lingxiu walked over, Ye Qiu pulled her into his embrace, tenderly smelling her hair fragrance.

Actually, Liu Lingxiu was very happy now. Not only did Ye Qiu refer to her as his official girlfriend in front of other women, but he also made sure they shared a room.

Even though Ye Qiu didn’t engage in anything further, Liu Lingxiu knew she enjoyed the privileges of being a girlfriend.

Especially when facing the perfect Miss Cao Ling, for some reason, upon meeting her, Liu Lingxiu felt somewhat inferior. In terms of appearance, family background, or other aspects, Liu Lingxiu knew she couldn’t compare to Miss Cao.

However, Ye Qiu didn’t seem to have any feelings for Cao Ling.

Now, Liu Lingxiu relished in leaning against Ye Qiu, as they quietly enjoyed the breeze, watching the view outside the window.

As Liu Lingxiu felt herself almost falling asleep, Ye Qiu kissed her cheek and said, "Let’s go back inside."

Ye Qiu was ready to continue his cultivation.

Liu Lingxiu could only leave Ye Qiu’s embrace, go back to the room, and lie down alone to rest.

She knew Ye Qiu usually sat and practiced cultivation, though she didn’t quite understand it.

But she knew that after Ye Qiu practiced, he was just as alert the next morning as if he had slept.

When Liu Lingxiu tossed and turned and finally slept, and then opened her eyes again, it was already past seven in the morning.

"Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu, where are you?"

Upon first opening her eyes, Liu Lingxiu was a bit disoriented, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she couldn’t see Ye Qiu, which startled her.

She jumped up anxiously, but hearing the sounds of washing from the bathroom, knowing Ye Qiu was in there, she realized her reaction might have been too intense.

"Lingshow, what’s the matter?"

Ye Qiu stepped out and asked.

"Nothing."

Maybe it was her increasing reliance on Ye Qiu, or perhaps she wasn’t yet accustomed to being in the unfamiliar hotel on the first night.

After Ye Qiu finished his morning routine, he stepped out onto the balcony. The sun wasn’t too hot yet, but sunlight directly hit the Forbidden City, where Ye Qiu saw a field of golden yellow, as if it was brimming with dragon aura.

In truth, the so-called dragon, Ye Qiu had seen it. Many people in this world believe in dragons, and Huaxia people have always believed they are descendants of dragons.

However, at the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, the dragon’s status wasn’t particularly high, nor as majestic as imagined.

Liu Lingxiu came out after her morning routine, looked outside, and said, "It’s awe-inspiring!"

From here, looking over at the Forbidden City and the Imperial Palace, indeed, it appeared quite grand.

"After treating the illness of that third grandpa, I’ll take you to see it."

Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu left the room, then knocked on Xiaomai and Lin Xiang’s room. Xiaomai was up, but Lin Xiang wasn’t yet.

Over at Cao Ling’s side, Cao Ling was awake too.

"Quick, wake Lin Xiang."

Lin Xiang was sleeping soundly in her nightdress.

Usually, when people are in unfamiliar environments, they have trouble sleeping the first night. Lin Xiang and Xiaomai tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

However, Xiaomai, who usually wakes early at the Peach Blossom Spring Villa, did the same over here.

After Lin Xiang got up, washed, and dressed, it was half an hour later. Cao Ling still looked beautiful, putting on a new snow-white dress.

The three girls stood in front of him, like leaves complimenting flowers.

However, Ye Qiu was holding Liu Lingxiu’s hand.
