that unconsciously drew people's gazes. Her clear and ethereal face, her youthful and unpretentious aura, her bright and clear eyes, as well as her serene confident smile, all combined with her melod...Chapter 946 - Being Too Stingy Makes People Stupid

"Sis Yun Qing, let's go now." Xia Tian didn't answer Yun Qing's question. He was full and didn't want to stay here any longer. It was time for him and Sister Yun Qing to have their private moment.

"Alright then." Yun Qing nodded her head and instructed Yun Ziguang, "Little Guang, you pay the bill and leave early too."

"Understood, sis." Yun Ziguang nodded his head and hurriedly went over to settle the bill.

Xia Tian and Yun Qing quickly left the hot pot restaurant. As they stepped out, Yun Qing couldn't help but ask softly, "Husband, what will happen to those two"

"There's nothing much, they just died from alcohol poisoning," Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

Yun Qing was stunned. At this moment, she finally understood that Xia Tian had drunk so much alcohol all of a sudden just to create an incident of alcohol poisoning.

"Where are we going now" Yun Qing didn't bring up the matter again but instead changed the subject. It was already evening now, though she wasn't sure if Xia Tian would spend the night with her or accompany Qiao Xiaoqiao.

Before Xia Tian could say anything, his phone rang. He took out his phone to see who it was and muttered to himself that this tightwad couldn't have arrived so soon already

"Hey tightwad, are you still cold" Xia Tian answered the call quickly, asking right away if Ning Jie was still cold.

"I'm okay now," Ning Jie's voice sounded normal now. She then added, "I've arrived in Mu Yang County. Where are you"

"You're here so soon!" Xia Tian felt a bit downcast; this tightwad had come surprisingly fast, which meant he wouldn't be able to go with Sister Yun Qing anymore.

"Well, I just arrived. I'm staying at room 901 in the Dongsheng Grand Hotel. Are you free to come over now" Ning Jie asked softly.

"Alright, I'll be there soon," Xia Tian thought about it and agreed. The stingy person suddenly turning cold made him feel that something was amiss because, by all logic, she shouldn't have reached such a level of severity so quickly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Ning Jie's tone seemed different from usual; when talking to Xia Tian, her voice had softened and no longer treated him like an enemy as before.

Seeing Xia Tian hang up the phone, Yun Qing couldn't help but ask, "Was that the person who called you during lunchtime"

"Yes, she's come to Mu Yang County. I need to go see her and check on how sick she is." Xia Tian felt a bit down, yet he also thought this matter was important and had to be dealt with, despite his mood.

"Then you go ahead. I'll just head back myself," Yun Qing said softly: "I'm temporarily staying at Uncle Shi's place for now. If you're free later on, you can come look for me there; Uncle Shi has reserved a room for the two of us—you know that."

"Alright, I'll take you there first." Xia Tian casually picked up Yun Qing and ran swiftly. Shortly after, he delivered Yun Qing back to Shichanggeng's house and then hurriedly arrived at the Dongsheng Hotel, appearing in front of room 901 and knocking on the door.

The door opened quickly, and Ning Jie’s face appeared in Xia Tian's line of sight. Although she was quite beautiful, she looked somewhat fatigued. At this moment, Ning Jie did resemble Xia Tian a bit; both were dressed rather scantily.

Xia Tian had always worn the same ordinary summer attire throughout all seasons. Now, although Ning Jie wasn’t as extreme as him, her outfit was still quite thin. She wore a pair of light blue jeans which accentuated her slender and sexy legs, while on top she only donned a sheer shirt. It seemed she had indeed followed Xia Tian's advice to fight cold with cold.

"It’s really you Come in quickly!" When Ning Jie saw Xia Tian, she was momentarily stunned because she hadn’t expected him to show up so soon. After all, it had only been a few minutes since she called him.

"Who else would bother such a miser like yourself" Xia Tian said lazily, "I told you before that being a miser has no future, do you believe me now"

This time Ning Jie didn’t refute Xia Tian’s words. She simply closed the door and walked back to her bed where she sat on its edge.

"Hold out your hand," Xia Tian said at this time.

Ning Jie complied obediently this time, stretching out her white palm. She then watched as Xia Tian propped up two fingers on her wrist, realizing that Xia Tian was checking her physical condition.

Several minutes later, Xia Tian finally retracted her hand and looked at Ning Jie in a somewhat perplexed manner but remained silent for quite some time.

"What's wrong with me" Ning Jie couldn't help but ask when she was made increasingly anxious by the look on Xia Tian’s face.

"Ah, you stingy person. Haven’t you been to the capital city these few days" Instead of answering Ning Jie’s question, Xia Tian asked a counter-question.

"Yes, I went to the capital city for something and originally intended to stay there. However, my body seemed somewhat off recently, so I returned here. But prior to today, I haven’t felt this cold before; it's quite sudden," Ning Jie said with an expression of puzzlement.

In the summer, looking at Ning Jie, he remained silent for a while.

"What's wrong with me Could it be that there's no hope" Ning Jie asked anxiously.

The Summer didn't answer directly but instead countered her question: "When you went to the capital city, did you see your sick master again"

"Ah" Ning Jie's expression changed slightly, then she quickly shook her head. "No, of course not. I've already been expelled from my sect by her; how could I possibly still see her"

"That makes it a bit strange." Summer muttered to himself, looking quite perplexed.

"What's wrong with me Can you just tell me clearly" Ning Jie was getting impatient. Why can't this person speak plainlyting!""Summer, you've gone too far. Do you know who you hit It was the deputy county head of Mu Yang County! What you did is simply..." Yuan Shicai finally lost his temper and angrily scolded Summer....
