344 Acting as a Pig to Eat the Tiger 2

"Ah! I'm really feeling much better now! Brother Ling Yun is the best!" Xue Meining didn't even need a mirror to know that her eyes had recovered. She was so happy that she started jumping in Ling Yun's embrace!

Ling Yun heaved a sigh of relief to himself. He felt fortunate that he left some Healing Talismans for himself when he was treating Little Black. Otherwise, he would be in a bit of trouble today.

He couldn't possibly roll up his sleeves to use the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot just so he could heal swollen eyes, right? Moreover, the speed of the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot wouldn't be able to match the Healing Talisman. It wouldn't be able to attain the same effect either.

Xue Meining was so delighted that she was jumping all around Ling Yun. She was this close to giving Ling Yun a peck on his cheek in front of everyone. Even though she thought about doing so, she was still slightly embarrassed in front of her grandfather and parents.

Hu Shaobai was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded! He didn't know where to put the golden ointment in his hand as he looked at Ling Yun with his mouth wide open. His mind was completely blank at this moment!

What kind of technique was this? Since when was there such an impressive medicinal technique? Was it prepared beforehand just to slap me in the face? Or is this some kind of trick? Diversionary tactic?

Hu Shaobai, Long Tianyu, and Li Youmin weren't the only ones in shock; every guest in the living room, male or female, couldn't believe what they witnessed!

Where on earth did this kid come from? He looked so ordinary, yet he had such a magical medicinal technique? More incredible than the Xue Family?

That went without saying! The Xue Family specialized in Traditional Chinese Medicine, so they should have known how swollen Xue Meining's eyes were. If they could heal it, Miracle Doctor Xue would have thought of doing it himself before letting Xue Meining show her face. After all, this was an important ceremony with many important and reputable guests!

Miracle Doctor Xue didn't heal it, but Ling Yun healed it. Did that mean that Ling Yun's medicinal skills were greater than Miracle Doctor Xue? This is a genius!

Many knowledgeable guests, especially the table filled with Miracle Doctor Xue's old friends, all looked at Ling Yun with bright eyes.

This kid… Hides his skills pretty well! Many people thought to themselves.

Xue Chengye and Zhang Manyun exchanged glances and could see the shock in each other's eyes. They turned to look at their daughter simultaneously, and indeed, her eyes had recovered! In the blink of an eye!

Miracle Doctor Xue laughed out loud as he stood up from his seat and coughed. "Ning Er, since your eyes have been healed by your Brother Ling Yun, shall we blow out the candles now? Everyone has been waiting a long time for you!"

"Coming!" Xue Meining replied in an excited tone as she grabbed Ling Yun's hand daringly and ran towards the massive and delicate birthday cake.

However, her pulling didn't move him at all. She couldn't help but try to drag Ling Yun's hand again as she pouted playfully. "Brother Ling Yun, what are you standing here for? Help me light my birthday candles!"

Ling Yun gave a bittersweet smile as he glanced to his left and right before whispering to Xue Meining, "I think your grandfather and parents should be the ones lighting it for you, right? I won't join you guys…"

Xue Meining pouted again. "I don't want that! I want you to light up the birthday candles for me this time! This way, my wishes will come true…"

After saying that, she hugged Ling Yun's arm with both hands. Just like in the past, she allowed Ling Yun's arm to press against her towering chest as she dragged Ling Yun to the birthday cake.

After Ling Yun showed a simple technique, everyone was still in great shock and had yet to come back to their senses. When they saw Xue Meining tugging Ling Yun's hand to get him to light the candles for her, everyone had mixed emotions in their hearts.

This was especially so for the tables filled with the wealthy sons. The shock in their eyes turned into envy and hatred. They exchanged glances with one another and came to an agreement without saying anything. They agreed to work together to get rid of Ling Yun's overweening attitude before anything else!

They simply couldn't allow Ling Yun to continue acting so arrogant! They couldn't wait for Ling Yun to embarrass himself after the blowing of the candles!

"Uncle, Auntie, look at this…" Ling Yun could only smile when he was dragged in front of Xue Chengye and his wife.

Xue Chengye was naturally also an extraordinary divine doctor trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, even he couldn't discern what technique Ling Yun used to heal Ning Er's eyes.

His current opinions of Ling Yun had improved drastically. As for Zhang Manyun, there was no longer a need to describe her feelings towards Ling Yun. She was already looking at Ling Yun like a mother looking at her son-in-law.

En! This kid is really good looking and has incredible medicinal skills. And he's not flamboyant at all. The more I look at him, the more I like him…

Miracle Doctor Xue also smiled as he walked over and patted Ling Yun's shoulder. "Since it's Ning Er's wish, go ahead and help her light the candles…"

Miracle Doctor Xue wanted to hurry up and celebrate Ning Er's birthday because he had many things to talk to Ling Yun about later on. Every issue he wanted to talk to Ling Yun about was enough to make his head hurt!

"Alright, let me do the honors of lighting the candles then!"

The bright lights in the living room were dimmed as Ling Yun lit the seventeen candles one by one. Xue Meining appeared extremely happy in front of her parents as she held onto Ling Yun's arm tightly. She closed her eyes to make her wishes.

Her first wish was for her grandpa to live a long and healthy life. The second wish was for all of her parents' wishes to come true. The third wish was that Brother Ling Yun would always be with her and never disappear…

Xue Meining finished making her wishes as she pursed her lips softly to blow the candles in front of her. While everyone was singing the birthday song for her, she hugged Ling Yun's arm blissfully. Two happy tears rolled down her cheek as she felt incredibly satisfied and fortunate. All the pain she felt because of Ling Yun over the past few days was worth it at that moment!

"Brother Ling Yun, as long as you are by my side, my birthday isn't important, gifts aren't important, Ning Er isn't important, everything else isn't important. As long as you are by my side…"

In the dark room filled with voices singing the birthday song, Xue Meining secretly put her lips next to Ling Yun's ear as she whispered her heartfelt words. The moment the lights came back on, the fragrant lips pecked Ling Yun's face!

The song had stopped as the lights came back on, and the living room returned to its usual brightness.

Xue Meining, with a blushing face, held onto the knife and started cutting the birthday cake.

At the same time, champagne was being popped in the living room, and everyone was enjoying a glass. Everyone was laughing and chatting with one another, and the atmosphere in the living room was at its climax.

Xue Meining wasn't the most patient girl and simply cut a few pieces of the cake to respect her Grandpa Xue and her parents. After that, she took a bite of a piece of cake cheekily before handing it to Ling Yun.

"Look at how you're eating…"

Ling Yun was naturally not going to stand on any ceremony as he finished the cake in two to three bites. He smiled at Ning Er and said, "Ning Er, now that we are done with the cake cutting and there are so many guests around, go accompany your parents to express your gratitude. I'll go back to my seat first, and once you're done doing that, we can talk."

After saying this, Ling Yun didn't allow Xue Meining to do whatever she wanted and simply took her hands off his arm. He returned to his seat immediately after that.

The moment he got comfortable in his seat, Ling Yun heard many comments and saw many cold sneers directed at him. However, Ling Yun wasn't bothered as he ate what he wanted and drank what he could. He was completely ignorant of the death stares from the people around him.

When it was dark, Ling Yun received a private message from Miracle Doctor Xue saying that many things had happened over the past few days. However, he told him not to be anxious and that he would talk to him after Ning Er's birthday ceremony was over.

Seeing that there was no one familiar around, Ling Yun had already guessed that something happened. He knew that after Ning Er's birthday celebration, whatever he heard would be perilous and shocking. He had prepared his heart for it and was prepared to welcome any challenge.

What was done couldn't be undone, so the only thing to do was to respond appropriately. Therefore, he knew the importance of filling his stomach first.

After twenty minutes, Xue Meining finished thanking the three tables of guests and had received plenty of birthday gifts. Finally, she followed her parents to the table where Ling Yun was seated.

Everyone knew that this was the most exciting moment!

These wealthy sons didn't display their birthday gifts since their arrival, as every one of them wanted to hand Xue Meining the gift personally. All of them wanted to win the affection of Xue Meining but didn't expect Ling Yun to ruin it for them so unexpectedly. Therefore, none of them felt good, and they wanted to use this opportunity to win back their pride.

At this moment, Ling Yun was still feasting wildly. He looked like he hadn't eaten for eight lives, and all the delicacies on the table looked like they were made, especially for him.

"Jiangnan Liu Family, Li Hongyi, wants to give Sister Ning Er a green jade bracelet to wish Sister Ning Er a happy birthday…"

"Jiangdong Cai Family, Cai Yingzhe, wants to give Sister Ning Er an exquisite jade ornament to wish Sister Ning Er a happy birthday…"

…

Regardless of who it was, every person would intentionally glance at Ling Yun after they presented their gift to Ning Er. They were all immensely pleased with themselves and extremely provocative.

Evidently, all the gifts were well thought out, and every gift was exceedingly valuable. However, every person seated there were millionaires if not billionaires. Therefore, nobody felt too shocked at any of the gifts presented. They were more concerned about the most important highlight of tonight's event. They wanted to see what the Miracle Physician Valley, Beijing's Long Family, and Beijing's Li Family brought.

Finally, Xue Meining accompanied her parents to arrive next to Li Youmin. Even though she looked extremely delighted to be here, it was obvious that she was absent-minded. Her beautiful eyes kept staring and smiling at Ling Yun, who was seated nearby. She didn't seem to care much about the gifts she received as she simply thanked them without meaning it.

Now that her Brother Ling Yun was back and sitting in front of her, what kind of birthday gift could compare to Ling Yun himself?

Li Youmin smiled as he got up and greeted Xue Meining and her parents respectfully. He smiled and told Xue Meining, "Sister Ning Er is already seventeen years old and will be able to get your driver's license very soon! My trip here, I didn't bring much except a Maybach 62. I wish Sister Ning Er a happy birthday, and I hope that you will like it!"

Once he said this, people started cheering from all over the living room and instantly started discussing it!
