The Devil Doctor's Spicy Love-Chapter 409: Unexpected help

"Spicyyyyyyyy, how do I look? How do I look?" Mingshen asked Jia for the twentieth time by now as he adjusted his crimson tie.

"My answer isn’t going to change no matter how many times you ask, Mingshen," Jia’s brows twitched.

Naturally, she was happy to see Mingshen wearing the tie she gifted him but asking how he looked for the hundredth time was draining her of her HP even before they had stepped into the Hou villa.

With black suit and shirt matching with black pants, the crimson tie dangling on his chest gave Mingshen an otherworldly look. The pheromones he was oozing were clear based on the number of women fainting left and right. Dressed in all black but with a red tie, he looked like the perfect reincarnation of a devil. His beauty was a spectacle to behold.

Before, even Jia couldn’t handle his grim-reaperish blinding aura as the golden dazzle made her dizzy.

It should be a crime for such handsome men to exist...

"Spicy, Spicy! How do I look?" Mingshen’s eyes were sparkling with an excitement similar to a ten-year old child who couldn’t get enough of playing with his new toy. Though she knew that Mingshen sincerely cherished her gift.

"You should tone down on that leaking handsomeness or we are gonna need a lot of ambulances tonight."

Mingshen shone. "If you think I’m so handsome, does it mean that you have fallen for me? Don’t we look like a couple made in heaven?"

"..."

"Stop bothering her!"

Yang Bingqing smacked on top of his head with a glare. "Yes, my stupid son is handsome. Happy now!?"

He frowned. "I don’t want your praise. I want Spicy to ogle me!"

"She ogled you enough! Now it’s my turn," her expression instantly changed upon facing her, "Jia dear. How do I look?"

Jia smiled. "Nothing less than a Goddess. The peach gown really suits you, Aunt."

"Aiyaaa~"

Yang Bingqing blushed and waved her hand in a shy dismissal. "You have such a sweet tongue~ But the most beautiful woman here is my Jia!"

Jia wore a beautiful purple dress that flowed along her legs in a mesmerizing semi-circle. Yang Bingqing was completely smitten.

Jia coughed. "Aunt, I still think it wasn’t necessary to give me such an expensive-"

"Spicy, do I look more handsome with the tie clipping on or without it?" He pouted.

"Both are fine. But like I was saying-"

"Aish, you bother with the minor details too much, dear~"

The bill of that dress wouldn’t have been so minor, Aunt, she lacked the tears to shed.

"Oh wait, where is Cheng?" Yang Bingqing looked left and right and found him standing at a distance with Zhao Weizhe.

"Cheng! What are you all doing there? Come here, quick! Oh!"

Her eyes sparkled upon seeing another familiar face. "Xie Zi Han is here too!"

She pouted as they approached. "What were you men gossiping all this time?"

Yang Cheng didn’t respond. Xie Zi Han smiled. "Nothing. I was just asking your husband if you all visited the graveyard today."

She nodded. "Well it is his grandfather’s death anniversary. That’s why he is so extra quiet today. Cheng, cheer up!" She beamed.

"Hm."

Zhao Weizhe alternated his gaze between Yang Cheng and Xie Zi Han, not leaking out a single change in his expression.

On the other side was Wei too, who had joined the gang with Lihua.

"Sis!"

"Lihua!"

The two sisters hugged but Mingshen was quick to drag Lihua away. "Don’t mess with my sweet time with Spicy, little chilli. Don’t you see that she is admiring my handsome view?"

Lihua glared. "What is there to admire in you, evil doctor?"

"The one that you are too blind to see," he sneered.

Yang Bingqing asked, "Oh where is Mulan?"

"She is already inside," Xie Zi Han sighed. "Being a CEO is a demanding job. Look at her. She dragged me here but already left me alone."

"Aish, children grow up to be independent so soon. And then there is Mingshen!"

Mingshen - "..."

"Excuse me Mom but I matured and became independent quicker than anybody else? It’s thanks to me that this Mafia King learned the underworld tricks."

Lihua harrumphed. "Tricks or did you fool him into emptying his bank account for your research!"

"Why do you blame me if he is that gullible?"

"Your family is wealthy too!"

"Robbing somebody else’s money is always more fun," he smiled. "But you are too innocent for your own good. You won’t understand the pleasure."

Lihua made a disdainful face.

Just then Huojin entered the mix too, who signaled for Jia to step aside. She did so that earned her a hearty whistle.

"Jia, I’m so jealous that you get to live in the Yang mansion. Can you transfer some of that money coming along to my side too?"

She smiled and stepped on his foot without mercy.

"Ouchieeee!"

"Don’t talk like that..."

"You hurt me so harshly."

"Huojin, please stay away from Mingshen’s company. He is infecting you in the wrong way. Anyway, how are things going on that side?" Her eyes narrowed.

Huojin leaned in and whispered to her ear. "Commisioner Zhong is a guest in this ceremony too, just as we had expected."

A glint passed her eyes. "I see. And is our special guest of the evening ready?"

"It was hard getting things done under his nose but it went rather smoothly. Commissioner Zhong is in for a pleasant surprise tonight."

She blinked. "Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?"

"Well, I did get some unexpected help to do the task."

"Does somebody other than us know-"

"Yes, but it’s safe."

"Huojin, we cannot risk it tonight," Jia urgently said.

"I know, I know but trust me that you can trust that help I got. It was a shocker for me too, believe me," he smiled.

"What are you talking about?"

"S-Sis!" Bojing eagerly waved his hand and joined them, followed by Shilin who held his usual smile on his lips.

"Hello, Inspector Song."
