"I thought he was just being polite when he mentioned it, but he actually bought it for me!" "And it’s the top-of-the-line flagship model! I’ve wanted this phone for so long but could never justify spending the money!" Her face lit up with unrestrained joy as she admired her new phone. After a moment, she decided to take a few pictures and send them to Joseph. "Brother-in-law, did you buy this? 【Love You.jpg】" She sent the message, complete with a playful emoji. But after waiting for a while, there was no response. "Ugh, that jerk! He sends me such an expensive gift but doesn’t even bother replying to my message." Heidi pouted, grumbling under her breath. Unable to wait any longer, she dialed his number. The phone rang for several seconds before Joseph finally answered. At that moment, he had just stepped out of his car and was about to enter his house. "Hello? Heidi? What’s up?" Joseph asked casually. "Brother-in-law, I got the package! It’s amazing—I love it so much!" Heidi

"Technically, it’s a medicinal soup. A couple of days ago, I gave my ex-wife’s younger sister a prescription for a strong medicine. The side effects make her body weak, so this soup should help alleviate that weakness," Joseph explained patiently. "Oh? So it’s for your little sister-in-law? You’re really good to her," Alice said, wrinkling her nose slightly, her tone laced with a hint of jealousy. "It’s not about being good or bad. She’s taken care of me in her own way over the years. You know me—I always repay kindness when I can," Joseph said with a faint smile. "Fine. If even you say she’s a good person, then I suppose I won’t be jealous," Alice said, sitting down at the dining table and resting her chin on her hands, her expression relaxed. "She’s alright. A bit mischievous at times, but overall, not bad," Joseph replied nonchalantly. "Alright, then. For her past kindness to you, I’ll let it slide," Alice said with an exaggeratedly serious nod. "Did I say you were jealous? Y

Joseph chuckled as he unwrapped the food.“Which brother-in-law gave it to you?”He teased.“I only have one, silly!” Heidi retorted playfully. “That tall, handsome, charming older man named Joseph Wilson! You know him?”Feigning innocence, she batted her lashes and asked,“Excuse me, handsome, what’s your name?”“Joseph Wilson,” he replied casually.“What a coincidence! You have the same name as my brother-in-law!”She grinned mischievously.“Alright, stop fooling around and eat. I have to head back to the office soon,” Joseph said with a helpless smile.“Let me see what goodies you brought!”Heidi eagerly opened the containers. “Wow, this smells amazing! Is this bone broth? Look at the m

“Of course not! Because I’ve never had a boyfriend or kissed anyone either. My first kiss is still safe and sound!”She declared it with a sense of pride.“Uh… why are you telling me this?”Joseph asked cautiously, starting to sense that something wasn’t quite right.Leaning in closer, Heidi’s voice dropped to a teasing whisper.“Brother-in-law, do you want to experience a girl’s first kiss?”Joseph’s face turned crimson, and he quickly stood up, flustered.“This… this isn’t appropriate! If your sister finds out, she’ll kill you! Let’s just forget this ever happened. I need to get back to the office.”Heidi, however, grabbed the collar of his shirt with surprising strength, pulling him back down. Their faces were now mere inches apart.<

"Brother-in-law, I’m heading out. I’m going to Grandma’s today to mooch a meal and maybe gather some information about her side of the family." "Honestly, I didn’t want to go so early, but the food at home is unbearable. Brother-in-law, I miss your cooking so much. I even dream of you when I sleep." Joseph chuckled at her dramatic complaint and replied: "Go and check things out, then. While you’re there, try to ask about your grandfather. You can casually bring up my willingness to treat him." "But remember, you need to be tactful. Lead the conversation carefully and gradually change her opinion of me. Build her trust little by little. Only then can I earn her support. Do you understand what I mean?" He typed quickly, sending the message without hesitation. Moments later, Heidi replied with a voice message. Her soft, sweet voice carried a hint of flirtation, sending an involuntary shiver down his spine. "Got it, brother-in-law! I’m not stupid. Why are you so naggy?" Joseph cou

"How about this—let’s skip lunch since we just had breakfast. We can eat out around three instead," Alice suggested, pausing to think. "Let’s go to the amusement park first. I want to ride roller coasters, the drop tower, the Ferris wheel… there’s so much I want to do! It’s been ages since I’ve gone out to play." She began counting off her desired activities on her fingers, her tone completely serious. "Why are they all such thrilling rides?" Joseph chuckled softly. "What? Are you scared?" Alice raised an eyebrow, smirking mischievously. "Not at all. You can do whatever you like—I’ll go along with it," Joseph replied calmly. "Great! I’ll go change now. Wait for me," Alice said, hopping up and heading to her room. It wasn’t long before she returned, stepping out with a twirl in front of Joseph. "Joseph, how do I look in this outfit? Isn’t it cute?" She smiled brightly. Joseph glanced her over. "What kind of outfit is this? It’s cute and quite unique," he remarked. "It’s L

The people still waiting in line looked on with envy, their thoughts unanimous: Why couldn’t something like that happen to me? Three thousand dollars—a sum that, for many, equaled a month’s salary—was handed over so easily. "You’re really something," Joseph remarked, watching Alice as she stood in line. His tone was half-amazed, half-admiring. "It’s just a fair trade!" Alice stuck out her tongue playfully, flashing him a cheeky grin.Thanks to Alice’s bold maneuvering, the two of them managed to buy their tickets in under ten minutes. Not only that, but Alice’s extravagance didn’t end there—she purchased tickets for almost every major attraction in the park. Watching her spend money so carelessly, Joseph couldn’t help but feel a fleeting thought cross his mind: Being a kept man doesn’t seem so bad after all."Let’s go! Come on!" Alice grabbed Joseph’s hand and led him into the amusement park, her excitement palpable.Meanwhile, the young man who had just pocketed $3,000 lingered

"Don’t fall for it, man. That air rifle can’t even reach balloon number 99. I tried for the Barbie doll on balloon 23 and spent $300 without hitting it. I could’ve bought three Barbies for that price!" "You think $300 is bad? I spent $700 trying to win the limited-edition Lego set on balloon 42 and still didn’t get it. I’m sick just thinking about it!""This booth is a total scam. Don’t waste your money!" The surrounding crowd chimed in, offering Joseph well-meaning advice to walk away.Joseph simply smiled. He had already observed others playing and quickly deduced that while the rifle’s accuracy left much to be desired, its range was sufficient. For someone without proper training, hitting the target was nearly impossible—but for him, it was another story. "Mind your business! You’re just bitter because you lack skill!" The owner snapped at the onlookers, clearly irritated by their comments."Joseph, maybe we should forget it. It’s not about the money—I just don’t want you to ge

"This is a matter between teachers—it has nothing to do with you students!" Charles Martin tried to explain, his voice tense."If it has nothing to do with us, then why did you make it public?" "Exactly! Couldn’t agree more." "A teacher who doesn’t keep his word isn’t welcome at Nova University." "Yeah, own up to your bet!" "..."The voices on the other end grew louder and more chaotic."I’m done talking. I’m hanging up—I have class to get to." Charles Martin ended the call abruptly. There was no point in dragging it out any longer; he knew he wouldn’t win against this mob.He was tempted to just switch off his phone and be done with it.But school policy required teachers to keep their phones on and available during work hours, in case of emergencies or administrative contact.Charles leaned back in his chair, exhausted in both body and mind. He still had no idea who had leaked his personal information to the school forum.Buzz! Buzz!And again, the phone vibrated.Already on e

"Professor Alvarez, you misunderstood. I just didn’t control my volume," Joseph said awkwardly, trying to explain himself."Then why do you always seem so dismissive of me? Why are you constantly arguing with me? Do you have some sort of bias against me?" Mason Alvarez pressed on, clearly aggrieved."You’ve really got it wrong. Honestly, I think you’re a great person—easygoing and down-to-earth. Being around you, I don’t feel the need to put on airs." Joseph replied earnestly."Is that really how you feel?" Mason’s voice softened, her gaze growing gentler."Of course it is. Why would I lie about something like that? I wouldn’t have agreed to help you dodge that blind date otherwise, would I? And besides, you’re close with Alice. Any friend of hers is a friend of mine." Joseph spoke without hesitation."Then, Professor Wilson... why don’t we date?" Mason’s eyes sparkled mischievously as she made the unexpected suggestion.Joseph froze, completely taken aback."Hey, what’s with th

While Mason Alvarez was drowning in embarrassment, Joseph sat at his desk, utterly unfazed, leisurely flipping through documents and browsing references on his computer, as though the chaos around him had nothing to do with him.The sight of his calm demeanor only fueled Mason's frustration.Why was she the one being grilled by Brady Rogers and Felix Baker, while this infuriating man got to sit there, completely untouched by the storm?Fueled by indignation, she abruptly lifted her foot and stomped hard on Joseph’s.“Ouch!”Joseph yelped in pain, turning to her in disbelief.“Professor Alvarez, what the hell?! Why’d you step on my foot?”“Oh, sorry. Totally an accident.”Mason shot him a glare that said otherwise. Joseph was left speechless.“Professor Alvarez, you still haven’t answered Professor Baker’s question.”Brady Rogers reminded her, ever so helpfully.Mason nearly choked. Brady, who usually came off as the quiet one, was now joining the teasing squad? The world had truly gon

The moment Joseph opened the school forum, his screen was flooded with posts about him. Nearly every trending thread pinned at the top was somehow related to him.“Youngest professor cracks a complex medical case!” “Professor Martin’s bet with Professor Wilson—will he really bow and apologize?” “Anyone got Professor Martin’s number? I want to give him a piece of my mind.” “If Professor Martin doesn’t keep his word, no one will take his class ever again.” …Every corner of the forum was plastered with threads, all revolving around Joseph and Charles Martin.He casually tapped into the post asking for Martin’s phone number. A quick glance confirmed his expectations—users had already dug up more than just his number. His home address was exposed too.The replies were brutal.“Looks like Professor Martin’s getting digitally lynched.”Joseph muttered under his breath. Martin probably never imagined his private life would be stripped bare and paraded so shamelessly on the school forum.

"Seven times a week should be fine. Any more than that, and it might be pushing it. Just pace yourself." Joseph said casually. "Seven times a week? That much? Even at my peak, I couldn’t manage that!" Mason Morgan was utterly stunned. Joseph cast him a knowing glance. "Sounds like Uncle Mason wasn’t all that strong to begin with." "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting now?!" Mason instantly bristled. "Just hurry up and finish writing that prescription. Less talking, more working!" Joseph smirked but didn’t argue. He simply continued writing with quiet focus. One check’s backside wasn’t enough—he had to use a second one to finish. After about twenty minutes, he finally put down his pen. "This one is the prescription, and the other contains the medical instructions. Follow them precisely, and you’ll be fine." Joseph handed both checks to Mason Morgan. Mason scanned them, recognizing a few of the ingredients but not fully understanding their effects. After all, he

"Well, what do you think?" "If that old doctor were more skilled than me, you wouldn’t be sitting here talking to me right now. His prescription clearly didn’t meet your expectations." "That’s why you came to me—hoping I could offer a better solution." Joseph’s words were sharp and precise. Mason Morgan sighed. "That’s true." "But if even that old doctor couldn’t fully resolve my issue, are you sure you can? He seemed pretty capable." His brows furrowed in concern—after all, this was a matter that would affect the rest of his life. He couldn’t afford to take it lightly. "The old doctor does have some skill," Joseph admitted calmly, "but not much." Mason scoffed. "You sure don’t lack confidence, kid." "But talk is cheap. I still don’t know how skilled you really are. You say all the right things, but when it comes down to actual treatment, can you really deliver?" Joseph smirked. "I don’t even need to see it to know what prescription he gave you." "Got a pen and paper? Hand

Joseph took a slow sip of his lemon water, placing the glass back on the table with a composed smile. His unhurried demeanor only served to irritate Mason Morgan. "Kid, you’ve got nothing, huh? I knew you were just full of hot air!" "But I get it. You’re trained in traditional medicine—you don’t understand modern medical practices, so you have no clue how Western medicine would treat my condition." Mason assumed Joseph’s calmness was just a stalling tactic. "Uncle Mason, I’m well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine, but I also have a solid grasp of modern medicine." "To put it plainly, I’ve mastered both worlds, East and West, past and present. In the field of andrology, my mentor was known as the ‘Saint of Men’s Health.’" "I inherited all his teachings, but I didn’t just stop there—I refined and innovated upon them. As a result, I earned the title ‘Little Saint of Men’s Health.’" "And let’s be clear—the ‘Little’ in my title isn’t because I’m inferior to my master. It’s sim

Under Mason Alvarez’s relentless teasing, Alice could do nothing but yelp and struggle. "You’re awful! You’re the worst! Let me go—I surrender! I won’t say anything about you again, I swear! Please, have mercy!" She begged for a while before Mason Alvarez finally relented. By then, Alice was thoroughly disheveled, her breathing uneven as she lay sprawled out on the bed, utterly spent. "Now do you understand the power of your senior?" Mason grinned triumphantly. "You’re nothing but a shameless rogue!" Alice huffed. "Oh? Care to repeat that?" Mason’s eyes narrowed in mock threat. Alice immediately turned her head away, pouting but clearly backing down. "Still, Wilson sure is one lucky man," Mason mused as she gave Alice a once-over. "You look so petite, but who would’ve thought you had such a killer figure?" Alice shot her a glare. "You’re not exactly lacking yourself! You think you were the only one taking advantage just now? I got my fair share too!" Mason chuckled. "Oh? Is

"Oh, stop it! Don’t ask me that—you’re so shameless!" Alice covered her face, utterly embarrassed. Every time Mason Alvarez probed her with these kinds of questions, her cheeks would burn as if set ablaze. "Oh, please! You’ve been living together for so long—who would believe that nothing has happened between you two?" Mason teased with a mischievous grin. "It’s true! Joseph said he wants to wait for the right moment," Alice murmured, her voice growing softer as she buried her face deeper into her hands. "Tsk tsk, waiting for a special moment? Who would’ve thought Wilson was such a traditional man? He really doesn’t seem the type," Mason mused, clearly surprised. "Honestly, I think it’s kind of sweet," Alice said in a hushed tone. Mason draped an arm around Alice’s shoulders, her voice laced with playful mischief. "Listen, little one, a man only truly belongs to you once he’s in your grasp—understand?" Alice blinked in confusion. "What do you mean by that, Mason?" "It’s simpl
