Last night, Qi Yihan came over and intended to stay for just a while, but after chatting with Tang Li, he changed his mind and decided to stay in the guest room of the old man’s villa.

After hearing what he said, Tang Li smiled and narrowed her eyes. “I was going to take a walk first. If you want to hear about Father’s condition, we can talk in the living room. We can have breakfast then.”

Qi Yihan had no intention of interrupting her plan. “You can go for a walk now. I’ll go with you. After you tell me about Father’s condition, I’ll go to the office.”

Tang Li studied his face carefully and suddenly walked up to him. She raised her hand and placed it on his forehead. When she felt that his forehead was a little hot, she said disapprovingly, “You need to rest well. You’re having a slight fever. It must be from overwork.”

Qi Yihan did not expect Tang Li to suddenly do this. When she placed her cool hand on his forehead, his body trembled. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, making him feel dizzy.

Tang Li quickly withdrew her hand and pulled on his shirt, leading him into the villa. “This hospital has a kind of medicine that’s very good for reducing fever. Take one first, or else you’ll feel very uncomfortable today.”

Qi Yihan looked down at the hand that was holding onto his shirt. A complicated expression flashed across his eyes, but he moved inside with her.

Butler Zhang, who was standing at the side, was not able to believe what he saw.

How could Madam be so good!

Could it be that she wanted Master to do something again, so she treated him well?

No, no, no. In the past, when she needed Master’s help, she never treated Master well. Could it be that she had started to realize that Master was much better than that gigolo and changed her mind?

But was she sincere this time?

When Butler Zhang was trying to figure out her true motive, Tang Li called out to him, “Butler Zhang, go get the medicine.”

Butler Zhang was shocked and quickly replied, “Yes, Madam.”

Tang Li made Qi Yihan sit on the sofa. When she saw that he was sitting upright, she purposely pressed his shoulders against the back of the chair. “Don’t stiffen your body. Relax and lean against me.”

Qi Yihan looked at the woman standing in front of him. She hadn’t had time to comb her hair just yet. As Tang Li leaned towards him, a few strands of hair fell down and landed on his shoulders.

In addition, she was wearing a V-neck sweater inside and a loose sweater outside.

As she leaned forward, the V-neck revealed most of her body.

There was an inexplicable tension in the air. Qi Yihan thought that he had great self-control and could resist all women. But at a time like this, he felt his heart beating faster than usual, so he looked away, thinking to himself, “Isn’t she aware that she is revealing a lot?”

Tang Li indeed was not aware of it. However, after Qi Yihan leaned back in his chair, she stood up straight and said, “People like you are always like this. They don’t care about their health when they work. If they die, what’s the point of earning so much money?”

Qi Yihan looked at her with his deep eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, “Don’t you want money?”

Tang Li smiled at him and said honestly, “Of course I do, but money is not everything to me.”

These words immediately reminded Qi Yihan of what she had done previously. All his calmness was shattered, and his lips curled into a mocking smile. “Money is definitely not everything to you.”

“Because you get money from me!” Qi Yihan thought to himself. He then closed his eyes and remained quiet.

Tang Li looked at his face for a few seconds before walking over to sit opposite him. She told him seriously, “I won’t use your money anymore. I can earn my own money.”

Qi Yihan did not open his eyes.

At that moment, Butler Zhang brought in the medicine Tang Li requested.

Tang Li took the medicine and said to Qi Yihan, “Take it.”

Only then did Qi Yihan open his eyes. He looked at the traditional Chinese medicine that smelt awful in front of him and frowned.

Seeing his reaction, Tang Li asked, “Don’t you like Chinese medicine?”

Qi Yihan picked up the medicine and said, “No one likes it.” Then, he swallowed the medicine in one go.

Only then did Tang Li start talking about his father. “We haven’t started treating your father yet, but I’ve arranged some food for him these past two days. His body has been dying from various organ failures, so…”

As soon as Tang Li mentioned his father’s illness, Qi Yihan started to listen attentively.

When Tang Li was almost done, Butler Zhang brought them breakfast.

The two of them finished their breakfast in silence. Tang Li suddenly said to Qi Yihan, “Supernatural things do exist, but we have a rule that states that we should coexist peacefully with them. If something is lost at home, most likely it is stolen by men.”

Qi Yihan looked at her, his brows furrowed. He seemed to be pondering over her words and also suspecting her.

But in the end, he left without saying anything.

Tang Li looked at the departing figure and lowered her eyes as she mumbled, “I have to let the male and female leads continue their plot.”

So she wouldn’t tell him anything directly.

At around ten am, two cars suddenly parked outside Tang Li’s villa.

Butler Zhang did not know who it was and quickly went over to take a look.

Two middle-aged men in suits got out of the first car and then quickly walked to the car behind them.

Two people who looked like guards alighted from the second car, followed by a person who looked muscular and well-built. Butler Zhang knew instantly that these people weren’t coming over for no reason.

At this moment, a group of people had already walked to the door. One of the middle-aged men in a suit asked politely, “Is Miss Tang here?”

Butler Zhang calmed himself down and asked, “Why are you looking for Madam?”

Seeing Butler Zhang’s vigilant expression, the middle-aged man comforted him, “Sir, don’t be nervous. We came here to thank Miss Tang for treating a patient’s mania.”

Butler Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the two people in the morning were obviously from the same department with this man, as they all wore the same windbreakers. Knowing that his identity was not simple, Butler Zhang quickly said, “Madam has gone to the laboratory. Why don’t you all come in and sit in the living room for a while, I’ll go get her immediately.”

“Thank you, sir.”

Butler Zhang found Tang Li and secretly told her about it.

Hearing that, Tang Li thought they might be clients Ouyang Yi introduced to her, so she said to the other three doctors, “Someone is looking for me. I need to go back first. You guys continue with the experiment.”

The three of them did not object.

When Tang Li and Butler Zhang walked into the living room of the villa, the three people sitting there looked over at the same time, and surprise flashed across their eyes.

One of them asked in surprise, “Are you Miss Tang?”
