Da Luobo glared fiercely at Dongzi and spat out a harsh sentence: "You’re something else, Dongzi. You’ve only been back to work for a few days and you’ve already snagged yourself a little woman. If you don’t straighten up, we’re through!"

Dongzi finally came to his senses. He truly had no connection with that Tingting, so why was his reaction so intense? He didn’t even know why himself. Perhaps it was because someone had believed his very first words with absolute, unshakeable faith. Hearing Da Luobo’s words only gave Dongzi a bigger headache. After all, this was his fiancée; he had to admit he needed to soothe her properly. Dongzi turned back and said, "Alright, my dearest Luobo girl, my dear wife, I will explain this whole thing to you. Let’s go inside to talk!"

Zhou Huan tried to mediate from the side, managing to persuade the two to go inside. Afterward, he swiftly rushed out of the Fushou Hall. Da Luobo’s words earlier had been a bit extreme, and he worried that if the young woman took it too hard and wasn't careful while walking, something unfortunate might happen. But when Zhou Huan stepped out of the Fushou Hall, Hu Tingting had already vanished without a trace. Zhou Huan let out a breath of relief; he never expected that someone would place such persistent belief in a mere twitch of the eyelid.

Zhou Huan then sauntered back into the Fushou Hall and sat down in the main hall. His mind was once again consumed by the Longevity Master's notes he had been reviewing. He couldn't find any identical or similar cases, yet this matter of the eye-twitching seemed intriguing. After much thought, he decided to send Dongzi to the banquet that evening, with the added task of discreetly inquiring about the source of Hu Tingting’s wealth. With that settled, Zhou Huan walked directly to Dongzi’s door. Just as he raised his hand to knock, he heard what sounded like an explosion erupting from inside the room.

"Dongzi, I’m telling you, if you dare to go tonight, I’m leaving with you."

"Leave? Where are you going?"

"You go to your dinner; I'm going to my own home. Hmph, I’m packing my things right now."

Zhou Huan, listening at the door, felt thoroughly annoyed. He didn't know how to handle these two lively characters. He knocked hard a few times and then roared, "What are you shouting about? Stop the noise, you two are driving me crazy! Open this door!"

Surprisingly, Zhou Huan’s shout instantly calmed the people inside. With a creak, the door opened!

"Brother, what is it… Ugh!" Dongzi turned around, taking in the mess inside his room, and felt a wave of embarrassment. He then turned to Zhou Huan and asked, "Brother, did you hear everything just now?"

"En!" Zhou Huan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression extremely stern. As soon as he entered, his eyes fixed menacingly on Dongzi and Da Luobo. It had to be said, his gaze carried a surprising amount of impact at that moment, causing Da Luobo to stop packing, while Dongzi awkwardly perched on the edge of the bed, utterly speechless.

"En, you two, don't cause me any trouble. I’m here to tell you something now. Tonight, that Hu Tingting invited you to dinner—Dongzi must go." The moment Zhou Huan spoke, Da Luobo became enraged, looking at Zhou Huan with utter bewilderment.

Da Luobo’s mouth moved silently, looking as if she were about to cry or explode in anger. She glanced at Zhou Huan again, and instantly, tears streamed down her face. She then said, "Fine! You’re brothers, always in cahoots. You, the elder brother, aren't setting a good example either, encouraging your younger brother to go fool around with other women."

"What are you implying? Am I that kind of person, Zhou Huan? If you don't trust me, you can go with him. Didn't she just say she invited both of you? I'm sending him for a mission, what do you know?" Zhou Huan wasn't explaining; his tone was more like a command, leaving Dongzi completely confused. Da Luobo blinked rapidly, unsure of what to do, realizing her outburst against Zhou Huan had been impulsive and based on insufficient information.

After much deliberation, Da Luobo mustered the courage and said, "Brother Huan, I was a bit impulsive just now. We just finished arguing with Dongzi, and I didn't realize the situation was like this. You..."

"It’s fine! Just stop arguing!" Zhou Huan turned back to Dongzi and said sternly, "Dongzi, listen closely. Tonight, you absolutely must ask Tingting about what she has—what is this wealth! Where did this wealth come from!"

"En, got it." Dongzi finally felt reassured and turned to Da Luobo, "See? I told you we were fine, but you wouldn't believe me. It was just a casual remark back then; who knew it would turn into this? You’ll see tonight. I promise, I swear to heaven, I swear to the light—if the light goes out, I go out!" Dongzi raised three fingers and muttered, "I, Lin Dongzi, swear by the light: if I have any improper thoughts about Hu Tingting, may the light go out, and may I go out with it!"

Da Luobo instantly clamped her hand over Dongzi's mouth: "Don't make such a terrible oath! If you go out, what will I do?"

Zhou Huan burst into laughter, "Look at you two! The light isn't even on, what's there to go out?" Zhou Huan then left Dongzi's room, closing the door for them, and prepared to head to his own quarters. Just then, Tian Xiong and Shi Bingyuan returned from outside, each carrying two large bags filled with various delicacies.

"What’s all this?" Zhou Huan asked upon seeing them.

Shi Bingyuan first pulled a thick wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Huan, then said, "Master, this family today was truly generous. They paid double the fee, and before leaving, they gave us all this stuff. Good thing we have many people at the Fushou Hall, or we’d really be struggling to deal with it all."

"En, did you burn extra spirit money and ingots for them?"

"We did. We brought three packages of offerings and burned them all. We shouldn't profit from what isn't ours."

"Good. Get these things put away and rest well for a bit. You’ll come out with me tonight; leave Hong Kun and Tian Xiong to watch the house." After giving instructions, Zhou Huan went upstairs.

For the rest of the afternoon, Dongzi slept fitfully, waiting for the evening meal. Da Luobo lay wide awake, unable to sleep, constantly plotting how she could keep a close eye on Dongzi that night and ensure he minimized contact with that Hu Tingting.

As dusk settled, Shi Bingyuan found it strange that Dongzi hadn't come out to cook. Since he himself was going out with the Master tonight, he wondered why Dongzi was being so lazy today. As the thought crossed his mind, he went to Dongzi’s room. Just as he raised his hand to knock, Dongzi opened the door.

When Dongzi stepped out, Shi Bingyuan was stunned. Dongzi was impeccably dressed today, and Da Luobo, for the first time ever, had put on makeup and donned a very beautiful outfit. As she emerged, she asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, do you need something?"

"What is the meaning of this?"

Dongzi cleared his throat, "We have something important to attend to tonight—we have to rush to a banquet, so Hong Kun will handle tonight's dinner. Otherwise, you all just manage on your own and make do with a simple meal!"

Hearing Dongzi say this, Shi Bingyuan was completely bewildered, a huge question mark hanging over his head. He could only manage a strained nod: "Okay, okay, I understand!"

In a flash, Dongzi and Da Luobo were out the door, hailed a taxi, and sped away. Shi Bingyuan scratched his head and headed into the kitchen, beginning to furiously prepare the dishes.

Zhou Huan, watching from upstairs, saw Dongzi’s taxi depart and then hurried downstairs to Shi Bingyuan. "Stop cooking those things. Didn't you bring a pile of stuff back earlier? Grab some of that, and let’s follow Dongzi, quickly!"

"Huh?" Shi Bingyuan paused, realizing he was supposed to follow Dongzi out tonight? Then he replied, "Alright, alright, let’s go now!"

Hong Kun emerged from his room, looked at Zhou Huan and Shi Bingyuan, and asked, "Who’s cooking tonight?"

"You all busy yourselves; we have to leave right away." Shi Bingyuan said, pulling out a few packaged pastries and snacks from the large bag, slinging a pack over his shoulder, and following Zhou Huan into the car. Zhou Huan drove, maintaining a careful distance behind Dongzi’s vehicle, ensuring Dongzi certainly wouldn't notice them.

They arrived at Dongzi's former workplace. As soon as they got out of the car, Da Luobo was supporting Dongzi’s arm; the two appeared intensely loving and happy. At the entrance, Hu Tingting was already waiting, her face flushed and beaming with delight. The moment she saw Dongzi arrive, she stepped forward and said, "Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, come, Little Sister is treating you to dinner today. Please follow me!"

The three turned a street corner, crossed the crosswalk, and there stood a truly magnificent, opulent hotel named "Wanli Xiang" (Ten Thousand Miles of Fragrance).
