Xiao Ye Fengciro gently opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Gu Xinyan’s face, full of astonishment.

He didn’t expect to see such a beautiful girl in the world, very much like Meizi he met under the cherry blossom tree in his childhood, he couldn’t help but take another look.

Xu Xiangbei snapped his fingers at his head and shouted, "I’ve already healed your injuries, yet you’re still lying here without getting dressed? You look so shifty, I can tell you’re up to no good."

Xiao Ye Fengciro realized his disrespect, a blush of shame crossed his face, he knelt before Xu Xiangbei and said, "My life was given by my master, thank you very much."

Xu Xiangbei impatiently said, "I’m not your master, you better leave quickly and don’t get any twisted ideas. I should’ve known not to move into the Purple Gold Villa, there’s one guy already eyeing this place all the time, what kind of mischief are you and your brothers planning?"

Seeing Xu Xiangbei looking so disgruntled, Gu Xinyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Who’s been eyeing this place? What has happened while I was away these few days?"

Xu Xiangbei felt embarrassed to tell Gu Xinyan about Shen Congru coming over to chat with Xiao Lin.

Nearby came Zuo Mu’s miserable cry, as Lu Xiaomei knocked him down and sat on him, twisting his wrist with a stern expression, teaching him a lesson, "Did you reach out just now because you wanted to touch me? Answer honestly. If you dare to harass me, I’ll get angry."

She added force to her hand, making Zuo Mu cry out again in pain.

Xiao Ye Fengciro shook his head helplessly; he was unable to help. He had just repaired his meridians, with no Inner Strength left in his Dantian, he wasn’t confident he could lift the sturdy Lu Xiaomei off his brother.

He cast a pleading glance at Xu Xiangbei.

Xu Xiangbei pushed Gu Xinyan’s wheelchair into the elevator and nonchalantly called out, "Lu Xiaomei, let go. He’s our guest and will be staying here for a few days. Don’t cripple the guy."

Lu Xiaomei finally realized and got off Zuo Mu, "Sorry, I mistook you for a bad guy. I’m a girl; when I came here, my mom specifically warned me to be careful of perverts."

Zuo Mu bitterly smiled, thinking with your physique, no pervert would want to harass you.

Lu Xiaomei continued humming her song, leaving Zuo Mu as she nonchalantly dragged her heavy luggage into the elevator, waving at Zuo Mu, who was grimacing in pain on the floor.

Xiao Ye Fengciro supported his brother back to his own room, "Brother, I’m planning to return to Japan to retrain; take care while staying in Huaxia."

Although the brotherly bond wasn’t very strong, hearing about their upcoming separation, there was a tinge of sadness.

Zuo Mu rubbed his shoulder and sighed gently, "Once I finish my business here, I’ll return to Japan too. Junior brother, safe travels, I’ll wait for you in Japan."

After bidding farewell, Xiao Ye Fengciro bowed to his brother and then left the villa. After being thrown by Lu Xiaomei, Zuo Mu dared not appear in the living room again.

Xu Xiangbei poured Gu Xinyan a cup of freshly brewed coffee, adding a little bit of milk foam, the aromatic Blue Mountain charcoal roast coffee was rich and fragrant.

Gu Xinyan leaned back on the bed and stretched lazily, "The crew has some issues these two days, no filming. I can relax for a few days now."

"How about dinner? Wanna go to the Emperor’s Pavilion?"

"No, I want to eat the dumplings Lu Xiaomei makes. Her egg and chive dumplings with a bit of shrimp paste are very tasty. Let her make some for you to try."

"Okay, then dumplings it is for dinner."

Gu Xinyan smiled softly, "Is your friend staying here?"

"He’s not my friend; he’s a witness in Jenny’s witness protection program. He’ll be staying here for about seven or eight days until the court opens. If it weren’t for bringing Lei Ziming to justice, I wouldn’t have let that guy stay here."

Gu Xinyan playfully scolded, "You’re so petty. Since it’s Sister Jeanie’s witness, let him stay a few more days. Your guestroom downstairs has been empty anyway, and Jenny is coming over tonight too, right?"

"Yeah, her witness, she insists on personally supervising him tonight. I’m just providing accommodation, not services."

In the evening, there was a series of banging sounds from the kitchen. Lu Xiaomei was handling the thick-backed meat cleaver to chop the meat filling; the Lu Family Boxing’s power was impressive, and with her innate Divine Power, the ten-pound cleaver spun in her hands as easily as a small knife.

Zuo Mu, fetching something from the kitchen fridge, was amazed by Lu Xiaomei’s knife skills and watched for a while.

Lu Xiaomei, unfazed, glanced at Zuo Mu, her chubby face blushing, she raised the cleaver in her hand, "What are you looking at? Don’t you dare fancy me. I have a boyfriend, and he, Hua Ji, is much more handsome than you. Now, stop looking."

Zuo Mu smiled wryly and quickly avoided her. He dared not provoke Lu Xiaomei because her mindset seemed different from ordinary people, leaving him baffled. His curiosity loomed over her claim of having a very handsome boyfriend named Hua Ji.

Before long, Lu Xiaomei shouted upstairs, "Miss Gu, Brother Xu, the dumplings are ready. According to the portions you requested, I made ten plates; I’ll have five and leave the rest for you. If you can’t finish, just save them for me."

Jenny arrived at the Purple Gold Villa for dinner, making it five dining altogether, including Jenny and Zuo Mu. Yet, Lu Xiaomei alone consumed the equivalent of five people’s portions, five huge plates of dumplings.

While eating his dumplings, Zuo Mu was quite surprised. Though Lu Xiaomei looked rough and her hands were chubby, her dumplings were exceptionally delicious. He consumed more dumplings than he ever had in his life, yet only managed one plate, while Jenny and Gu Xinyan combined only ate half a plate.

After finishing her portion, Lu Xiaomei did not leave the dining table. She smiled at everyone, waiting until they all finished and left. With two large plates of dumplings remaining, she devoured them as fast as lightning.

Finishing her meal with a burp, she happily muttered to herself, "Working here is great. Not only do I get paid, but I also get to eat until I’m full every day, unlike at home where my mother always leaves me hungry."

Zuo Mu asked Lu Xiaomei with admiration, "Miss Lu Xiaomei, your Martial Arts are amazing. I admire them greatly. Is it a family tradition?"

Lu Xiaomei blinked at Zuo Mu, "Yeah, it’s what my dad and mom taught me."

Zuo Mu gently nodded, excitement in his eyes, "I know it’s a taboo in Huaxia to teach Martial Arts to outsiders. Is it so in your family too? If it is, I won’t insist. If not, could you teach me a few moves?"

Lu Xiaomei looked at Zuo Mu innocently, thinking carefully, then laughed, "No, my mom never said anything about that. She said if anyone wants to learn, I can teach them. Do you really want to learn? The entry training of our Lu Family Fist is quite tough, you know."

Zuo Mu and Xiao Ye Fengciro came to Huaxia to broaden their horizons, seeking to learn from the strengths of multiple families and incorporate them for their own use.
