Wang Qing felt a piercing pain all over her body, her eyes shing with a steely resolve. Rong Feiyu helped her up, and the two of them leaned on each other as they slowly made their way out.
‘Giving up on nurturing Wang Song? No way!’ Wang Qing thought to herself.
Meanwhile, in Clearcreek Mansion, Rong Qi gazed at the array of items spread across the long table, amazed. Ye Nanshen picked up a gemstone bracelet and lightly pursed his lips, “Hold out your hand.”
Obediently, Rong Qi extended her left hand. Ye Nanshen fastened the bracelet onto her wrist, embellishing her pale skin with a deep blue gemstone.
As Ye Nanshen looked at Rong Qi’s once-empty wrist now adorned with an essory so distinctly feminine, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction. He nodded, “This gemstone is radiation-proof. Do you like it?”
Rong Qi looked down at the fine chain on her wrist and her lips curled into a small smile. “It’s beautiful, thank you.”
‘It’s worth twelve billion,’ Rong Qi thought to herself. ‘Who would dare say it’s ugly? I’d rip them apart!’
Suddenly, Rong Qi felt a twinge of guilt. Her hand instinctively went to her pocket, touching her own simple bracelet. Suddenly, it felt terribly inadequate, not even worth the tiniest fraction of a fraction of Ye Nanshen’s gift.
“I have something for you, too. Give me your hand,” Rong Qi said.
A yful gleam flickered across Ye Nanshen’s attractive eyes as heplied, extending his left hand. Rong Qi pulled out a red string and tied it around his wrist.
Ye Nanshen paused, momentarily at a loss for words. But before he could voice any objections, Rong Qi exined, “It’s for blessings. You must wear it until it falls off naturally. It’s a talisman from Master Zenith.”
“Master Zenith?” Ye Nanshen looked intrigued. “You went to Cloudsurf Temple today?”
“Yes,” Rong Qi adjusted the red string on his wrist. “Are you an acquaintance of Master Zenith?”
Ye Nanshen looked down, hiding the string within his suit sleeve. “Not really. My mother used to visit him for prayers when she was alive. He once saved my father’s life when he was in danger during a business trip. Sadly…”
Ye Nanshen trailed off, but Rong Qi knew what he was hinting at. Fate was predetermined, and even Master Zenith couldn’t foretell everything.
Suddenly, Rong Qi felt a lump in her throat. She reached up and hugged Ye Nanshen. “How about we go to Cloudsurf Temple after my finals?”
His eyes softened,yers of sorrow momentarily reced by warmth. He said, “Okay, we will go to pay our respects to my mother.”
“Alright,” Rong Qi nodded.
But just as Rong Qi was sinking into the sentimental atmosphere, Ye Nanshen changed the topic. “Little Qi, are you still taking orders on the medical forum?” Rong Qi looked up at Ye Nanshen and asked, “Why? You have a job for me?”
Ye Nanshen chuckled, “Yes. The pay is as high as the price of this bracelet, you could earn it all back in one job. Are you interested?”
“Absolutely! If it pays more than treating you, then it’s a must,” Rong Qi said.
The couple shared an understanding nce, mischief filling their eyes.
A momentter, Ye Nanshen continued, “But it might be challenging. There are actually two cases. One is simr to mine but with a key difference—he has been confined to a wheelchair for ten years. The other has been blind for five years.”
“I’ll take both,” Rong Qi dered.
Ye Nanshen smirked, “Awesome! I’ll arrange for you to meet them soon. As for the price, you can ask for the moon. Don’t hold back.”
“Understood,” Rong Qi grinned slyly. “I didn’t know they of thend in the capital before. Now that I’m making a lot of money with the famous Mr. Ye, I realize just how wealthy I can be.”
Ye Nanshen affectionately brushed his fingers against Rong Qi’s nose, smiling indulgently..
