Chapter 16: Is His Peach Blossom Luck Too Strong?

The two protagonists exchanged silent glances, their minds in turmoil.

Both believed that everything happening now was due to the butterfly effect of their rebirth.

"Alright, brother, get some rest. I'll come visit you again tomorrow!" Lin Beifan patted Xiao Chen's shoulder lightly before leaving with the others.

As they stepped out of the hospital, Liu Rumei asked, "Where to next?"

Lin Beifan smiled. "We're heading to another hospital to visit a good friend!"

Liu Rumei was stunned. "Why are all your friends in the hospital?"

Half an hour later, they arrived at Song Hospital.

Inside, Song Yuqing, the stunning hospital director, was busy at work. When she saw Lin Beifan walk in, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"You're here!"

Then, she noticed the woman beside him and was pleasantly surprised.

"Rumei, you're back!"

Lin Beifan feigned confusion. "Wait… you two know each other?"

"Of course we do! We've been close sisters since childhood!"

Liu Rumei pushed Lin Beifan aside, ran up to Song Yuqing, and hugged her excitedly. "I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too!" Song Yuqing returned the hug. "But why are you two together?"

Liu Rumei waved her hand dismissively. "I'm working for him now! I'm his secretary!"

---

Outside, Lin Beifan could only smile. "Xingchen, looks like we have to wait outside for a while. Right now, it's just you and me."

"Yes, President Lin!" Ye Xingchen responded in a serious tone.

His expression was blank, but deep down, he was seething with jealousy.

Why does this guy have such ridiculous peach blossom luck?!

Two peerless beauties—both devoted to him!

And him? The mighty God of War?!

Not a single one!

Meanwhile, inside the office, the two women were engaged in an intense conversation.

"Rumei, why did you suddenly decide to work as Lin Beifan's secretary? Didn't you hate him?" Song Yuqing asked, puzzled.

Liu Rumei scoffed. "I did it for you!"

"For me?"

"Of course!" Liu Rumei glared at her. "Just look at yourself! You've only spent a few days with him, and you're already dumber than those naïve heroines in TV dramas!

I can't just sit back and watch you get played!

So, to keep you from falling into his trap, I got close to him to expose his true nature!"

Song Yuqing was touched. "Rumei, you're so good to me! But I know he's not the kind of person you think he is.

He's incredibly talented, kind-hearted, responsible, and considerate. Sooner or later, he's going to rise to greatness!"

Liu Rumei facepalmed. "You've really fallen into the trap! You're actually calling this scumbag a 'peerless good man'?"

She tried persuading her friend a few more times, but Song Yuqing remained firm in her beliefs.

At this point, Liu Rumei was exhausted.

She turned her frustration toward Lin Beifan.

Damn scumbag! Not only are you fooling my bestie, but you're ruining our sisterhood too!

I swear, I'll expose your true colors!

Song Yuqing, however, had a different view. "Rumei, actually, I'm really happy that you're working with him!"

Liu Rumei was baffled. "Happy? Why?"

"Because you're very capable, and I know you'll be able to help him!"

As she spoke, her face turned slightly red.

"Also… by working by his side, you can keep an eye on him and make sure no shameless women try to approach him!

Xiaofan is too outstanding—he attracts too many admirers..."

Liu Rumei was speechless.

She covered her face in frustration. "Oh my god! You're a lost cause!"

"Rumei, please help me with this!" Song Yuqing pleaded.

Liu Rumei turned her head away. "I refuse!"

But after thinking for a moment, she relented slightly.

"Fine… I'll warn him if I see anything suspicious. But if he still refuses to behave, I won't stop him.

I'll just say: a dog can't change its habit of eating sh*t!

And if that happens, you'd better dump him immediately!"

Song Yuqing giggled happily. "Thanks, Rumei! You're the best! I love you!"

Sisterly reunions were always a joyful occasion.

So, the two of them decided to drag Lin Beifan out for a celebratory feast.

As for bodyguard Ye Xingchen?

He was left behind, sitting alone in the car, eating a plain sandwich.

Ye Xingchen: "..."

Around 8 PM, Song Yuqing received a phone call.

After hanging up, she apologized. "Xiaofan, Rumei, I'm really sorry. Something urgent just came up at the hospital, so I have to head back!"

Liu Rumei waved her hand indifferently. "No worries! We all live in the same city. We can meet anytime!"

Song Yuqing then turned to Lin Beifan. "Xiaofan..."

Lin Beifan scratched his head awkwardly. "Actually, I just received an invitation from a close friend to check out his new bar.

I've already refused him multiple times. If I don't go this time, our friendship might fall apart… So…"

Song Yuqing smiled knowingly. "Then go—but don't stay too late! And don't drink too much!"

"Got it!"

Before leaving, she subtly winked at Liu Rumei, signaling her to keep an eye on Lin Beifan.

Liu Rumei rolled her eyes but nodded. Fine, I got it.

"Alright then, let's go!" Lin Beifan said.

And so, the night continued…
