After Tang Li came out of Situ Jinâs villa, she went straight to the old manâs villa.
Just as she reached the entrance of the villa, she saw Qi Yihan and Butler Wang standing there. Butler Wang happened to be saying to him, âAt dawn, Second Master called to say that something had happened to them. Someone sneaked into First Master and First Madamâs room in the middle of the night and injured First Madam. First Madam was seriously injured and First Master was frightened.â
Qi Yihan pursed his lips tightly, his expression cold. âYou donât have to inform Father of this.â
âYes.â After Butler Wang replied, he hesitated for a moment and said, âFourth Master, is the series of events that happened to them after they got to the Q Province preplanned?â
Butler Wang had been staying with the Qi family since he was young. He was in his fifties now and had experienced all kinds of things, so it was obvious to him what was going on.
Qi Yihan looked calm as usual, and he merely nodded.
Butler Wang did not say anything else. He knew that Fourth Master would handle it.
At this moment, he saw Tang Li standing outside the courtyard and greeted her, âGood morning, Fourth Madam.â
âGood morning, Butler Wang.â
Tang Li walked in under Qi Yihanâs deep gaze. âIs Father awake?â
Butler Wang replied, âHe woke up around five but fell asleep again just now.â
Tang Li nodded and decided to not go in. She said, âIâll go get myself something to eat then.â
With that, she walked out. However, there were footsteps that followed behind her.
Tang Li turned to look at him.
Qi Yihan looked ahead, his expression unreadable. âLetâs talk.â
âTalk about what?â Tang Li shivered, thinking that he was going to get even with her, so she stopped and said, âI told you this morning that youâll regret it, but you wonât believe me.â
She spoke and acted as if she was in the right.
Qi Yihan was amused by her expression. When Tang Li was dazzled by his smile, he said, âTang Li, I find you especially unreasonable sometimes.â
Tang Li immediately replied, âI also found you to be especially unreasonable.â
Hearing that, Qi Yihan stopped smiling and frowned.
Tang Li pointed at his eyebrows. âLook, not only are you unreasonable, but you also like giving⦠Er⦠What are you doing?â
He suddenly hugged her waist and pulled her into his arms. Tang Li was dumbfounded when she bumped into him.
Qi Yihan looked down at her, breathing gently to her face, and said with a domineering tone. âYou think Iâm unreasonable?â
Tang Li raised her head and pressed her hands on his chest. âYes⦠Mmâ¦â
When their lips touched, the warmth and softness coming from his lips reached her at the same time. It was as if there was a thin current running through her body. Tang Li widened her eyes and felt like something in her mind had exploded.
In the next second, Qi Yihan let go of her and retreated at the same time. His voice was hoarse. âNo one has ever dared to take advantage of me. Iâm the only one who takes advantage of others. Now weâre even.â
Tang Li was speechless.
Qi Yihan added, âIâll go to Q Province. Call me tonight and tell me about Fatherâs condition.â
With that, he left.
Tang Li, who was petrified, only returned to her senses after a long while.
After returning to her senses, she covered her flushed face and stomped her feet, and shouted at Qi Yihan, who was about to reach the car. âQi Yihan, youâre unreasonable!â
Qi Yihan, who was walking to the car, paused for a moment. Without looking back, he couldnât help but smile and get into the car.
After the car drove away, Tang Li covered her mouth and said angrily, âI only landed a gentle kiss on the corner of your lips for one sec, but youâ¦â
Hearing footsteps reach her from behind, Tang Li stopped mumbling to herself. At the same time, Mr. Yunâs voice was heard. âMiss Tang, why are you standing here?â
Tang Li was extremely embarrassed. When Mr. Yun walked closer, she turned around and said with an awkward smile, âIâm taking a walk around the neighborhood.â
Mr. Yun nodded and asked, âMiss Tang, are you free this morning? I have a student who is coming to visit me. Heâs a professor in medical school.â
Tang Li recalled her arrangement with her cousin sister and shook her head. âI need to go out this morning.â
Mr. Yun said regretfully, âWell, I guess my student wonât be able to meet you today. I was still hoping that you could give him some advice. In that case, letâs find time in the future.â
Tang Li nodded and headed straight to the hospital gate.

When Tang Li arrived at Imperial Capital University, it was already past ten.
The Host was also a student who graduated from Imperial Capital University. In the past, she was considered the prettiest girl in the school and had countless suitors. However, the Host used to be very cold and arrogant, so she offended many people.
In any case, the Host managed to graduate successfully.
Since people who hated the Host were no longer here, Tang Li wasnât afraid that she might bump into her suitors or enemies when she came to Imperial University.
Cars were not allowed to enter the school. When Tang Li took the school bus to law school, she saw Su Ziqing waiting there.
Su Ziqing and Tang Li both had a look that would stand out in a crowd. However, she was wearing a white shirt and jeans, had a ponytail, and wore black-framed glasses. This outfit made her look neat and unapproachable.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After Tang Li got out of the car, Su Ziqing first sized her up from head to toe. She clicked her tongue and said, âSis, your style is becoming really strange.â
Tang Li was wearing a normal casual outfit. Su Ziqing thought it was strange because the Host always wore custom-made clothes every time she went out.
âI almost canât recognize you in that simple outfit.â
âIâm not here to attend a fashion show, am I?â Tang Li asked. âAre you planning to talk to me here?â
While standing there, she had already attracted the attention of many people.
Su Ziqing felt that some things were not suitable to be said outside. As a student of law, she never left behind any evidence. âLetâs go. Iâll bring you to my dormitory. I donât have a roommate.â
âYou live alone?â
âRight. I had one but she moved out.â
The place where the exchange student lived was not in the same building as the student. When the two of them walked into the dormitory, it was very quiet.
Su Ziqing told her, âAll the exchange students live here, and no one knows each other, so we donât have to be afraid of being eavesdropped.â
Tang Li looked around as she walked but did not say anything.
The dormitory consisted of a room, a bathroom, and a balcony.
The two of them sat down and went straight to the point.
Su Ziqing said, âI said on the phone previously that the moment you divorce Fourth Master, Iâll chase after him immediately. Since you asked me to come over, I think you must have made up your mind to do so.â
Tang Li looked at Su Ziqing who looked serious and said, matter-of-factly, âI wonât divorce Qi Yihan.â
Su Ziqing was stunned for a moment.. She didnât believe it at all. âSis, is it some kind of prank that youâre playing on me?â
