Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 154: Eye contact

It was a good idea to keep her identity as Merchant Lan. This way, he could keep her under his wing and she would also be able to do whatever she wanted with the fake identity.

Nodding, "That can be arranged, as long as the payment is appropriate." Gao Lan Mei said, liking the idea, "As long as you are also willing for some of them to be my test subjects, the finished result will be much better." she then added.

The pills that had cost Yin Bai to increase more than two ranks in one go was just a side effect. The young man's spiritual energy was as good as nothing due to the poison.

When antidote was taken, his spiritual channels took advantage of the situation and gobbled all available energy like a thirsty man from a desert.

Wei Jiayi hummed in agreement, she could do whatever she wanted with her dowry. In fact, if she could increase the strength of his subordinates, which also would be an advantage for her in the future.

All this was his preparation for the worst, so Wei Jiayi would never suspect that allowing her to take advantage of his subordinates will save most of their lives in the future and would keep Gao Lan Mei from being taken from him.

The three started to walk the path towards the exit of the manor gates that was destroyed by Kai Kai earlier.

No one questioned why Xiao Shi was going to stay at the Second Prince manor and Gao Lan Mei was not interested to share either.

Lou Ren became antsy, he had a kind of feeling that it was a good idea to go back to the Immortal Domain soon instead of being late, so he will not get the chance to be a part of Merchant Lan's 'test creature'.

'Master have mercy!' he wanted to shout but gulped it down. He would just ask 'Lan Gao' if his master will be not willing to listen to his pleas.

Wei Jiayi paid no attention to Lou Ren's actions, Gao Lan Mei also wanted to ignore the way he was looking at her, with worry.

Shrugging her shoulders, mouth twitching fighting the urge to smile or scowl. Not sure if she should feel offended that Lou Ren seemed to not trust her capability despite offering to be her brother.

'Young man, I have pills that could prove that you cannot just look down on me. Do you want to try one yourself?' See if I do not try the new pill to you first instead.' she settled to smile at the young man innocently instead.

Though Wei Jiayi was not paying attention at first, of course when Gao Lan Mei started communicating with Lou Ren silently, he felt totally ignored and started glaring at Lou Ren. His eyes trying to say 'Stop looking!'  

Too bad for Lou Ren, who was solely focusing on, how to avoid being a test creature. So he did not notice that Wei Jiayi was getting upset by the minute, just by making eye contact with 'Merchant Lan'.

"Stop." Wei Jiayi couldn't help but uttered under his breath while gritting his teeth. Gao Lan Mei looked at him questioningly and halted walking.

Wei Jiayi grabbed Kai Kai from her arm, then placed the hound on the ground. The hound clearly did not want to be away from his comfort zone, with the way it whined and its front paws lifted up for its mistress.

"Ride." Wei Jiayi said in a snarl. Kai Kai whimpered but transformed into its large hound form, head bowed low like a largely defeated puppy.

"Wei Jiayi! You're scaring it" Gao Lan Mei shrieked. "Hey!" another shriek came from her when the bipolar man lifted her up by the waist, placing her sit on the hound.
