Tang Li shrugged. âYou should have investigated me and my father. You know how capable he is. As his daughter, isnât it normal for me to learn something from him?â She was not worried about this at all. The old man had said before that the Hostâs father was a capable person, but he used to be a romanticist who didnât care about fame and money.
âIn the past, I just liked having fun, but now I suddenly feel like I need to get myself a normal life ⦠Besides, Iâm different from the past. How does that affect you?â
âIt does.â Qi Yihanâs expression suddenly became unusually serious. âTang Li, youâre affecting me.â
Tang Li did not expect him to say that. Stunned, she asked, âIn what way?â
Qi Yihan pursed his lips and looked into her eyes for a few seconds. Seeing that she really was clueless about what he meant, anger flashed across his heart, and he shut his mouth without saying anything.
Tang Li did not mind not getting an answer from him. She turned to him and asked, âHave you had breakfast?â
Tang Li continued, âDo you have stomach problems?â
Previously in her real life, she tamed a book spirit that especially liked to read novels. That spirit would nag at her ears about novels every now and then, so she knew that at least nine out of ten Executives had stomach problems.
âIf you have stomach problems, you have to tell me. Iâll treat you. As my husband, I wonât let anything happen to you.â
Qi Yihan suddenly stopped.
Tang Li stopped as well, her face filled with confusion.
Qi Yihan looked into her eyes and said angrily, âTang Li, stop playing tricks with me. Otherwise, donât blame me for being rude.â
Tang Li, âWhat are you talking about?â
Qi Yihan looked into her bright eyes and felt a little angry. He suddenly leaned forward and pinched her chin.
The two of them were so close that they could feel each otherâs breaths.
Tang Li looked at him, dumbstruck.
Qi Yihan suddenly couldnât stand her gaze and looked away. He said mockingly, âI thought you had changed a lot. I didnât expect you to be the same as before. Do you think every man will fall for the little tricks that you are playing?â
Tang Li was speechless.
âMrs. Qi, we finally found you.â
The sudden voice made Qi Yihan let go of her immediately and take a big step back. Tang Li subconsciously turned to look at Doctor Xiang and the other two doctors who were striding over from the other side.
The three of them were embarrassed. From their angle, they saw that the two of them were about to kiss.
However, thinking of their motive for coming, they still interrupted them and walked over quickly.
âFourth Master.â
Qi Yihanâs expression turned cold the moment the three of them appeared.
He nodded at them without saying anything.
The three of them were even more embarrassed.
Tang Li asked, âWhat is it?â
Doctor Xiang quickly put away his awkwardness and said to Tang Li, âMrs. Qi, a patient here is dying. You know that person too. Heâs Situ Jin. Can you take a look?â
âWhat happened to Situ Jin?â Qi Yihan asked.
The three doctors looked at each other, and their faces showed that they were at a loss for words. The other doctor said, âLast night, someone drugged him and made him lose his Yang energy. Thereâs nothing we can do now. Mr. Situ asked us to look for Mrs. Qi.â
Hearing that, Tang Li scoffed. She wanted to say no, but she remembered that this person was Qi Yihanâs friend, so she turned to him and said, âI told Situ Jin before that he would be done for in the next few days. I asked him to pay me to help him tide over this crisis. He was not only unwilling to pay me but even looked down on me. Now that when heâs about to die, he remembered me.â
Normally, Qi Yihan would have said, âOf course people would take you as a fraud.â However, hearing Tang Liâs complaint, he actually felt that Situ Jin deserved it, so he asked the doctor, âIn your hospital, who couldâve drugged him?â
âWellâ¦â
The other two doctors looked at each other. One of the doctors said, âI heard that it was his fiancée who drugged him. She popped out all of a sudden without anyone noticing.
âHow did she manage to do that? Without the patientâs permission, people are not allowed in here.â
He was sure that Situ Jin would not let that woman in.
âNo, she was brought in by another lady. She got permission to enter from the patient.â
Doctor Xiang added, âMrs. Qi knows who she is, too.â
Tang Li immediately knew who it was. âXu Yaran.â
At the mention of her, Tang Li glanced at Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan frowned even more tightly. âWhy did Situ Jin let Xu Yaran in?â
âWell⦠we donât know.â
âMrs. Qi, the patient is dying. Why donât you go and take a look?â
When the three doctors saw that the two of them were only asking questions and did not say that they were going over, they panicked.
Tang Li was not anxious at all. âWhatâs the hurry about? I have to know how he got drugged first. Also, since Situ Jin asked you to find me, did he say how to pay me?â
âThisâ¦â
âDidnât he mention the pay?â
Tang Li was still holding a grudge against Situ jin. She stood there without moving. âGo and tell him that if he wants me to treat him, the pay will be fifty million yuan plus one of his familyâs most valuable antiques. If he agrees, Iâll save him.â
âWell⦠why donât you go over first?â The two doctors could not make up their minds about Tang Liâs exorbitant demand. Moreover, the patient was really dying. They were worried that if Tang Li did not go now, he would die.
The other two doctors looked at Doctor Xiang, hoping that he could try to persuade her.
Doctor Xiang then looked at Qi Yihan, hoping that he could persuade Tang Li.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qi Yihan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, âSitu Jin has a pair of Kylin jades. I heard he obtained them from an imperial tomb.â
The three doctors were struck dumb, thinking to themselves, âFourth Master, are you helping your wife rip off Mr. Situ?â
When Tang Li heard this, her eyes lit up. âAlright, I want the Kylin jades in his hand. If he agrees, Iâll save him.â
ââ¦â
âMrs. Qi, why donât you tell him yourself? Mr. Situ probably canât take the stimulation now. Weâre worried that if we tell him, he will⦠die.â
Tang Li was a little hesitant.
Qi Yihan suggested, âYou have to go over later anyway. If he dies during this period, you wonât get anything.â
Tang Li thought about it and agreed. She then walked toward the villa where Situ Jin was staying with the three doctors.
Qi Yihan followed suit.
When the five of them walked near the villa, they saw a few people standing by the door.
Among these people, there was a nurse and a mother and daughter. The Xu siblings were also there. At this moment, Xu Yaran was holding a lady who was crying and saying something. The mother and daughter standing beside them pointed at the lady angrily and shouted.
âAunt Situ, stop it. Sangsang doesnât know that Brother Situ will be like this. She is Brother Situâs fiancée. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be intimate with him.â
Hearing that, Tang Li turned to Qi Yihan and said, âMiss Xu seems to like you a lot.â
Qi Yihanâs expression turned cold. âWhat has this got to do with me?â
