Chapter 457 - Deceive Oneself (1/2)

Qin Haodong said, “What are you thinking? It is the secret pair cultivation method. There are many restrictions. If one can casually reach the Supreme Power Realm, then who would go cultivate?”

Ma Wenzhuo thought about it and agreed. It seemed that relying on Qin Haodong to take shortcuts to advance his cultivation would be impossible.

He laughed playfully again and said, “I was just joking with you. For a self-reliant person like me, I would never rely on others. With my Kylin Holy Body, I will soon be able to surpass you.”

Watching the two people quarrel, Jia Shihan’s expression did not change much. However, there was a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.

At that moment, Yang Jinlong and Xiong Tiejun walked in with a middle-aged woman who looked extremely fashionable.

Yang Jinlong said to Qin Haodong with a flattering expression, “Boss Qin, I saw that sister-in-law didn’t have many clothes, so I hired a fashion designer to tailor some for her, since it might not be appropriate to buy them in the mall.

“You can rest assured that this is the top fashion designer in Shanghai, who is proficient at the antique style. The clothes designed will be very suitable for sister-in-law’s style.”

Xiong Tiejun, who was unwilling to lag behind, said hurriedly, “Boss, sister-in-law is so young and beautiful, she can’t blindly wear ancient style clothes.

“This is the fashion designer I hired who is proficient in the modern style. The clothes she makes will certainly satisfy sister-in-law.”

In their view, the reason why Qin Haodong stepped in to help Jia Shihan was that he had taken a fancy to her beauty. Therefore, they changed the way they addressed her and directly called Jia Shihan “sister-in-law”.

Hearing them say “sister-in-law” one after another, Jia Shihan flushed and stuttered, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Qin Haodong also said with a serious face, “Your ideas are good, but don’t talk nonsense in the future. Otherwise, I will rip out your mouths.”

“Understood, boss! We understand!”

The two men had a flattering smile on their faces again. In their view, the boss was afraid of Jia Shihan’s shyness, which was why they were not allowed to say it.

Although he scolded the two of them, Qin Haodong felt that their ideas were still good. Right when Jia Shihan was unpacking her bags, Qin Haodong saw that there were only two pieces of clothes, and they were quite old. They were not suitable for modern society. She did not have any underwear or pajamas. It would be good to make some clothes for her.

After Qin Haodong nodded, the two fashion designers immediately showed their respective talents and began to measure Jia Shihan.

Jia Shihan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, did not reject it.

Very quickly, Yang Jinlong and Xiong Tiejun left with the two designers. Before they left, they promised again and again that the clothes would be delivered in the evening.

“I won’t be a lightbulb in your two-person world.”

Ma Wenzhuo said goodbye to them, then left with his people.

The spacious room suddenly quieted down, leaving only Qin Haodong and Jia Shihan.

Jia Shihan became nervous when she faced Qin Haodong alone, as she said awkwardly, “You… you are not thinking the same thing as them, are you?”

“Them?” Qin Haodong reacted for a moment, then understood what Jia Shihan meant and said with a smile, “Don’t worry about that. Not only do I have a girlfriend, but I also have more than one. I definitely don’t have any other thoughts toward you.”

Jia Shihan nervously pinched the corner of her clothes and said, “Then why are you helping me?”

“I just saw you being treated unfairly. Don’t think too much about it. This couldn’t be any more easier for me.”

Looking at Qin Haodong’s clear eyes without any impurities, Jia Shihan was relieved and said gratefully, “Thank you for saving me. Apart from my master, you treat me the best.”

Qin Haodong said, “Don’t worry. Lifting a finger is nothing.”

Jia Shihan said, “How about this? From now on, I will do all the housework in this house. Count it as my rent. I will go cook lunch for you now.”

After suffering for such a long time, it was now the afternoon. Qin Haodong’s morning tea had been digested and he was indeed hungry.

“Okay then. I will wait to taste your cooking skills!”

“My master says I’m a good cook,” Jia Shihan said as she turned around and walked into the kitchen. But she then very quickly came out again, as she bowed her head and said shyly, “Can you teach me how to use these things?”

“Oh!” Qin Haodong was stunned for a moment before he realized that the girl had been living in the mountains and did not know how to use these modern things.

So, he went into the kitchen and taught Jia Shihan how to use modern things such as the rice cooker, the refrigerator, the gas stove, the induction cooktop, and the exhaust hood.

“What do you think? Can you use these things now?”

“I can!” Jia Shihan nodded. “I’m sorry. I have never used these things before. I have troubled you.”

After she spoke, she opened the refrigerator, then took out two tomatoes and started cutting them.

Seeing Jia Shihan busy cooking, Qin Haodong turned around and walked into the bathroom. After the mess all morning, he had a lot of dust on his body. He was going to take a shower and report to the school in the afternoon after lunch.

After he took off his clothes, he was washing happily in the shower when he suddenly heard a scream from the kitchen.

“What’s going on?”

After he heard Jia Shihan scream miserably, Qin Haodong did not care about putting on clothes as he casually grabbed a bath towel to put around his waist and rushed out.

He thought that Hou Qingzhu had come looking for trouble. However, he found that Jia Shihan was on fire when he rushed to the kitchen. Although she continuously slapped herself, the clothes on her body kept springing out with flames.

Without thinking too much, as saving her was the most important, Qin Haodong tore off Jia Shihan’s burning clothes in two or three movements. He then casually drenched her from the head down with a basin of fresh water that was just used to wash vegetables. Only then were the flames on her body put out.
