The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 924 Misunderstanding

Although Li Qing was already very familiar with Xu Keqing inside and out, this was still his first time visiting her home.

She lived quite close to the hospital, so after walking through streets and alleys, it took less than ten minutes to get there on foot.

It was an old residential area, and the gatekeeper was an elderly man wearing reading glasses.

He seemed very dedicated to his job, but sitting there, he was probably just there to have someone watch the gate.

From the walking stick leaning beside him, it was apparent that even the sanitation in the neighborhood was likely outsourced to someone else, and this old man probably took up this job to pass time after retiring.

Li Qing glanced at him and naturally walked past the old man straight toward the building ahead, Unit Three.

Ever since his strength had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he had gained a significant advantage in this respect.

He didn’t need to sneak around looking for places anymore, just a sweep with his Divine Sense.

Not to mention far-off places, he could almost sense everything clearly within this residential area.

After entering Unit Three, Li Qing went straight up to the fifth floor.

The old residential building didn’t even have an elevator, but these stairs were nothing for Li Qing, who ascended them with ease.

In such old-style buildings, the apartments were relatively spacious, usually with door-to-door units.

Li Qing reached the fifth floor and was just about to send a message to Xu Keqing to come open the door when the door of Room 501 suddenly opened, and a young woman in pajamas popped her head out.

She winked and waved at Li Qing, whispering, "Come in quickly!"

Li Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit confused, as the apartment number Xu Keqing had given him seemed to be 502.

Could he have remembered it wrong?

He looked down at his phone, scrolled up through the messages, and sure enough, it was 502.

"Stop looking, it’s right here, come in," the woman urged impatiently.

She was dressed very scantily, wearing only a low-cut nightgown.

As she bent over to grab the doorknob, a large expanse of snowy skin was squeezed out at the neckline.

"Um, you might have misunderstood; I’m not here to find..." Li Qing tried to explain.

But before he could finish, the woman suddenly rushed out, grabbed Li Qing’s arm, and said, "What misunderstanding? What’s this about choosing clients in your line of work? I look decent enough, go inside and take a closer look."

"No, you really misunderstood, I’m definitely not here for you," Li Qing quickly explained.

It was now very clear that this woman had mistaken him for someone else.

She probably had called someone over for a job and confused him with that person.

"What misunderstanding, what misunderstanding, I’ll pay you extra, okay? It’s the first time I’ve heard about you guys being selective with clients. If it doesn’t work, I can even serve you," the woman said as she pulled Li Qing toward the room.

Li Qing was completely dumbfounded.

What on Earth was this woman up to?

"Beauty, I’m telling you the truth, you really misunderstood, I’m not the kind of person you think I am," Li Qing asserted, stopping in his tracks.

He had barely applied some force when the woman found herself unable to resist.

Seeing that she couldn’t pull him along, the woman immediately became frantic. She lifted her chin and glared at Li Qing, her eyebrows furrowed deeply. "I’ll offer you another five hundred. It’s my first time doing this, can’t you not kill my mood? Besides, I’m not ugly, right, and my figure’s not bad either? What are you resisting for? Could it be that all the clients you get are drop-dead gorgeous?"

Just then, the door next door suddenly opened, and Xu Keqing, wrapped in a coat, stepped out.

She glanced over Li Qing and the woman, her arms crossed in front of her quivering bosom as she leaned against the doorframe, and cheekily said, "Yo, Xiao Cao Cao, what are you up to in broad daylight? Dressed like that, aren’t you cold? It seems like the temperature dropped today!"

"Mind your own business, you slut! Just hurry back inside!" the woman snapped back at Xu Keqing.

Li Qing was about to speak when Xu Keqing suddenly gave him a covert wink.

Li Qing caught on and decided not to say much more, seeing that the relationship between these two women looked tense.

"I am at home, haven’t even stepped out of the door," Xu Keqing continued cheerily. "But what are you up to?"

The woman’s expression suddenly turned awkward, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. "I... I hired someone to fix the drain, my house’s drainage is blocked. Why are you sniffing around for trouble? Just go back inside!"

"Fix the drain? But it doesn’t look like it. Couldn’t someone fixing the drain afford clothes that cost tens of thousands," Xu Keqing chuckled. "Besides, are plumbers this classy nowadays? And needing you to drag them into your house? Could it be your plumbing is too convoluted to navigate?"

"He... he raised his price suddenly, just go back inside and stop causing trouble," the woman shouted, looking flustered.

"He raised his price? But I just heard it seemed like you were the one who raised the price!" Xu Keqing said with a grin. "This building’s soundproofing is so poor, I used to absolutely detest it, but now I suddenly find it kind of handy."

"Xiao Cao Cao, come clean with me, is he someone you hired for THAT? He looks pretty handsome!"

The woman called Xiao Cao Cao turned pale and quickly retorted, "What are you talking about, how could I possibly do such a thing, there’s nothing like that, I’m not that kind of person, don’t spout nonsense."

"No worries, if you don’t want to say, that’s fine. I’ll ask him!" Xu Keqing said with a smile, giving Li Qing another sly wink.

Li Qing acted clueless, Xu Keqing clearly enjoyed stirring up trouble.

However, her guess was indeed correct.

Xiao Cao Cao kept talking about this line of work, mentioning providing services, and her attire made it obvious she was waiting for something more intimate.

At that moment, Li Qing suddenly felt the woman’s grip on his arm tighten.

Lowering his head, he met her somewhat pleading gaze and her gently shaking head.

She was signaling Li Qing not to talk.

"Xiao Cao Cao, stop being stubborn. I know this guy," Xu Keqing suddenly said with a pursed smile. "Why not just admit it openly? I promise I won’t tell anyone."

"Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t do anything, whether you know him or not is your business," the woman shouted back, visibly panicking.

With that statement, Xu Keqing had effectively cornered her.

She had never expected Xu Keqing, that crazy woman, to actually know this man.

"Qingzi, why don’t you tell us what this is all about?" Xu Keqing, barely holding back her laughter, turned to Li Qing.

The situation was, in fact, quite embarrassing for Li Qing.

"How about... we talk inside? Standing here isn’t doing us any favors," Li Qing suggested.
