The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 769: Dian Chunqiu’s Big Pancake_1

People are all capable of empathy, and it didn’t take long for Dian Chunqiu to deeply understand Li Qing’s predicament after Li Qing presented his case.

If it were him, he would indeed feel quite uncomfortable as well.

Not to mention things like strength, just the thousand-year gap alone was enough to make one uncomfortable.

Seeing that Dian Chunqiu finally understood his situation, Li Qing was secretly pleased, but his face still wore a worried expression as he said, "Director, if I had a choice, I definitely wouldn’t want to be this errand-running middleman, it’s really tough for me."

"I understand, the department will compensate you, just set your mind at ease and do this task well," Dian Chunqiu said earnestly, "That Master of the Underground Palace also doesn’t want to see me, otherwise I could persuade them a bit. However, they might not take my advice, so you just stay put honestly for now, after all, it’s their choice."

Li Qing’s lips twitched, he said so much, and not a single word was useful.

"I want to know what kind of compensation the department will give me?"

Dian Chunqiu thought seriously for a moment and said, "I haven’t figured it out yet, but rest assured, the department will not let you down. When the time comes, I’ll definitely get you the best thing."

Li Qing heard it, and could confirm, this was just a pie in the sky.

"Director, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll be heading back," Li Qing said with a downcast look, giving Dian Chunqiu a glance.

"There’s nothing else, just this one thing, if you have any news, let me know in time," Dian Chunqiu said.

Li Qing nodded his head and left the rooftop to return to his own office.

Yu Baishuo had already woken up and was sitting on the sofa in her pajamas drinking, the bottle of wine that Li Qing had opened the day before hadn’t been finished by the two of them.

"Drinking as soon as you get up?" Li Qing glanced at Yu Baishuo’s loosely opened neckline and asked with a smile.

"Just woke up and wanted to moisten my throat, looking around, this stuff more precious than gold seemed the most appealing," said Yu Baishuo, with an air of laziness in her demeanor, leaning on the sofa as she lay down, releasing her crossed legs, "Tell me what you want to see, I’ll strike a pose for you, no need for sneaky peeks."

Li Qing chuckled knowingly, "I was quite open and aboveboard about it though, your little peaks seem like they’re about to pop out from the neckline, so I took a couple more glances."

"You mean this?" Yu Baishuo looked down at herself and casually opened her neckline further, "There, take a good look. Not to boast, but pampering a man is my specialty, ask and you shall receive."

"In that case, I think you can just discard that troublesome bathrobe," Li Qing laughed.

"Okay then," Yu Baishuo giggled coyly, set down her wine glass, and indeed boldly removed her bathrobe, cuddled up naked on the sofa, and cast a flirtatious glance at Li Qing, asking, "Is this the effect you wanted?"

Li Qing’s eyes shone brightly, nearly transfixed, he nodded vigorously, saying, "Absolutely spot on."

"Want to see me strike any particular poses?" Yu Baishuo asked sweetly, a seductive haze in her eyes like a mist ensnaring the soul.

"No need, just being natural and relaxed is quite appealing," Li Qing said with a smile.

Yu Baishuo gave Li Qing an insouciant glance, "You bad man, not wanting to get busy, just wanting to watch me undressed, huh?"

"If you can still hold out, how could I possibly not want to?" Li Qing sat down next to Yu Baishuo, caressing her soft, delicate skin, and playfully tapped her pert and cute breasts.

Yu Baishuo let out a soft moan, resting her chin on Li Qing’s shoulder, "Then how about we go out for breakfast first, and then have another round?"

"Sure," Li Qing laughed, "But why go out for breakfast? I’ll just have it sent up."

"Right, you’re the deputy manager now. You shouldn’t need to run errands yourself for such minor things. I want to eat beef brisket noodles, could you get me a bowl? With such a big hotel as Lü Changxi’s, there should be beef brisket noodles, right?" Yu Baishuo said coquettishly.

Li Qing looked at Yu Baishuo with an adoring smile, nodded, "I’ll ask for you."

He then dialed the internal phone line, ordered a bowl of beef brisket noodles for Yu Baishuo, and had them add some random side dishes.

"Qingzi, aren’t you eating?" Yu Baishuo noticed that Li Qing had only ordered for her and came over, walking gracefully on her bare feet, and asked.

Li Qing nodded, "I just had a big pancake, I’m not feeling hungry at all right now."

"Eating a pancake... Did Lü Changxi feed you empty promises?" The caring and intelligent Yu Baishuo instantly realized that the ’pancake’ Li Qing mentioned wasn’t the edible kind, but rather an empty promise, and she frowned slightly, showing her displeasure.

"It wasn’t him, it was someone else," Li Qing shook his head, "Lü Zong, on the other hand, is always eager to feed me."

"Who else is feeding you empty promises?" Yu Baishuo asked, surprised.

Li Qing shook his head, "It’s a long story, and not something that can be discussed casually. You can understand that people like us are also managed by someone, and we have departments too."

"Oh..." Yu Baishuo responded as if suddenly enlightened, "I think I can understand, I wouldn’t know how to talk to you about such things, but some bosses do like to make empty promises, so much so that it becomes a habit."

"Actually, it’s nothing much, I will slowly tell you about these things when the time comes," Li Qing teased her pert breasts softly, "It’s not too complicated but indeed a bit lengthy to explain."

"It’s fine," Yu Baishuo giggled, tickled by his teasing, "If you can’t tell me, don’t. Stop playing around; it’s making me want it."

"I can’t help but play," Li Qing laughed, "Come on, let me see if you really want it."

"Ah... Stop it, if you keep this up, I’ll really want it," Yu Baishuo laughed coyly, quickly blocking Li Qing’s mouth.

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang, interrupting their playful spat.

"It must be your beef brisket noodles."

Li Qing let Yu Baishuo stay inside while he went out of the office and brought in her breakfast.

"Are you sure you don’t want some? The pancake can’t be that filling," Yu Baishuo said.

"You go ahead and eat. After you finish, let me eat you. The pancake might not be filling, but you are," Li Qing said with a smile.

It wasn’t entirely because of the things Dian Chunqiu had said; he genuinely had no appetite.

Ever since he started taking the Demon Spirit Elixir, whether it was because of the elixir or the advancement in his strength, his need for food and sleep had been decreasing gradually, to the point where not eating for a day or two didn’t bother him.

"Alright then, I’ll enjoy it myself," Yu Baishuo said with a flirtatious smile.

After breakfast, the two became entangled with each other once more.

Yu Baishuo seemed to be completely letting go of her inhibitions now, becoming even more proactive than Li Qing.
