“What? You can cure it?” Qin Gang nearly shot up from his seat again.
Then, he realized what he was saying and then said timidly, “I… I don’t have that problem!”
“I can cure that, you know!” Tang Hao emphasized.
“You… can?” Qin Gang said awkwardly.
“Of course!”
Qin Gang hesitated.
‘No matter how I look at him, this kid doesn’t look like a doctor. How can he cure my problem? Furthermore, how did he know that I have that problem in the first place?
‘Unless… he has some sort of special power?’
His heart was lit up by a spark of hope. He squeezed a flattering smile on his face, stood up, then sat down next to Tang Hao and whispered to him, “Little Brother-in-law! Are you sure you can cure my problems?”
“It’s not a big deal. Just leave it to me,” Tang Hao said.
Qin Gang became very excited. His face was thoroughly red.
He had been plagued by ‘that problem’ for a very long time. His dignity as a man had suffered because of ‘that problem’, so much that he could not look at his girlfriends straight in the eye.
“How… How do you cure it?”
“That’s easy. Take this potion and drink a few mouthfuls before you do it. I can guarantee that you’ll be full of vitality and be as fierce as a tiger. Remember to only drink a few mouthfuls though, it won’t be good for your body if you drink too much.”
Tang Hao flicked his wrist and a bottle of aphrodisiac potion appeared in his hand.
“What medicine is this?” Qin Gang asked curiously as he took the bottle.
“It’s an aphrodisiac potion! It’s made of all-natural herbal ingredients and there are no side effects. I’m not trying to boast, but the effects are amazing. Of course, this is a stopgap measure. If you want to cure the problem by its root, I’ll have to concoct a special formula for you.”
“Aphrodisiac?” Qin Gang looked doubtful as he inspected the bottle in his hand.
“Don’t worry. You’ll last longer with it!” Tang Hao said.
He paused for a while and continued, “To be frank, yours isn’t a big problem. Many men suffer from it, and it’s relatively easy to cure the problem at its root. Right, when will you be leaving?”
“Tomorrow!”
“Tomorrow? Fine, I’ll concoct the special potion for you tonight and give it to you tomorrow. You’ll only see lasting effects if you drink it daily. Meanwhile, you can drink the aphrodisiac potion whenever you need it. You can keep on drinking it after you are cured, the effect will be doubled!”
“Thank you then!” Qin Gang was excited as he held on to the aphrodisiac potion.
“Little Brother-in-law, do you… have more of this stuff? One bottle isn’t going to be enough! I need a few more bottles!”
“Of course!” Tang Hao nodded.
“I’ve been peddling concoctions like these, including weight loss, beauty enhancement, and healthcare ones. That’s why I started the company.”
“Wow!” Qin Gang exclaimed, “If the effects are as good as you say, the prospects are looking pretty good!”
Qin Xiangyi happened to enter the living room carrying a tray. She was surprised to see the two men sitting together and chatting happily.
Since when did these two people get so close to each other?
“What are you two chatting about, Brother?” Qin Xiangyi asked curiously.
“It’s… It’s nothing. Just the usual stuff.” Qin Gang waved his hands. Then, he laughed heartily, “Little Sister, I’ve just realized that you have good taste in men. I like this Little Brother-in-law already.”
Qin Xiangyi was again surprised.
When they first came into the house, the atmosphere between them was awkward. How did they become so friendly toward each other all of a sudden? She knew too well her brother’s stubborn character.
“What’s up with you, Brother?” Qin Xiangyi was clueless.
“Heh! What’s up with me? I’ve just seen how good a man Lil Tang is,” Qin Gang said.
Qin Xiangyi was taken aback as she looked at Tang Hao. “Lil Tang, you didn’t feed my brother a charm potion, right?”
Tang Hao shook his head. “It’s nothing. We’re just talking about stuff.”
Qin Xiangyi could smell something fishy between them, though she was happy that the two men were getting friendly and therefore did not pursue the topic.
“Come, Brother, have some tea!” She placed two teacups in front of the two people.
They chatted for more than an hour before Qin Gang left.
Two people remained in the house.
Tang Hao retrieved the wooden box with the jade ornaments and said to Qin Xiangyi, “Let me help you wear them, Sis Xiangyi.” He picked out the jade necklace from the box as he spoke.
“Hm,” Qin Xiangyi replied. Her pretty face blushed slightly.
Tang Hao walked in front of her and gently placed the necklace around her neck.
The necklace was majestically beautiful. Each of the jade beads emanated a brilliant glow and accentuated the wearer’s beauty.
“Do I look good in it?” Qin Xiangyi asked shyly.
“You look good!” Tang Hao said, in a daze.
Qin Xiangyi covered her mouth and smiled. She suddenly leaned forward and kissed Tang Hao on his lips.
Tang Hao took the opportunity and hugged her by the waist. They fell over on the couch.
Emotions were running high, and their movements became more intense.
Suddenly, a phone rang.
Their movements paused.
“It’s my phone,” Qin Xiangyi said softly with a red face, “It must be from the factory.”
“Then you should answer it!” Tang Hao flipped over and sat up.
Qin Xiangyi straightened her clothes, picked up the phone, and answered it.
After the call ended, Qin Xiangyi said, “Something happened in the factory. I have to be there.”
“You should go then!” Tang Hao said.
“Should I… send you home first?”
“There’s no need. I can go back myself. I should go check out my office on my way back too,” Tang Hao said.
“Alright then!” Qin Xiangyi leaned forward and kissed him gently. She then took off the necklace and placed it back in the box before leaving.
Tang Hao returned the box into his pocket dimension, then left the house.
The security guards at the front of the residential area did not recognize him at first. They carefully examined him before realizing who he was.
“Oh! Aren’t you Lil Tang? Long time no see!”
“Uncle Guo!” Tang Hao smiled and greeted the security guard.
“Not bad at all, Lil Tang! You’re an item with Boss Qin now?” The security guard asked.
Tang Hao nodded.
The several security guards there displayed faces of admiration and respect. All of them gestured a thumbs-up at Tang Hao.
“That’s amazing!”
Tang Hao smiled. He retrieved a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and split it with the security guards.
He stayed for a while to chat. He felt sentimental as they recollected past events.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He took it out and was surprised to see that Captain Zhou called him.
“That’s strange. Why is Captain Zhou looking for me?” Tang Hao mumbled, though he answered the call anyway.
“Hello, Captain Zhou! Is something the matter?” Tang Hao said.
“Brother Tang, I’ve met with some trouble here and I’d like to ask for your help. It’s a little tricky, and only a master like you can solve it.” Captain Zhou’s voice was heard over the phone.
Tang Hao immediately understood what he was saying. Captain Zhou must have encountered a supernatural occurrence.
