Chapter 43: Tang Li, You’re Already Affecting Me

Tang Li shrugged. “You should have investigated me and my father. You know how capable he is. As his daughter, isn’t it normal for me to learn something from him?” She was not worried about this at all. The old man had said before that the Host’s father was a capable person, but he used to be a romanticist who didn’t care about fame and money.
“In the past, I just liked having fun, but now I suddenly feel like I need to get myself a normal life … Besides, I’m different from the past. How does that affect you?”
“It does.” Qi Yihan’s expression suddenly became unusually serious. “Tang Li, you’re affecting me.”
Tang Li did not expect him to say that. Stunned, she asked, “In what way?”
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, “Have you had breakfast?”
Tang Li continued, “Do you have stomach problems?”
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.
“If you have stomach problems, you have to tell me. I’ll treat you. As my husband, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Qi Yihan suddenly stopped.
Tang Li stopped as well, her face filled with confusion.
Qi Yihan looked into her eyes and said angrily, “Tang Li, stop playing tricks with me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Tang Li, “What are you talking about?”
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 other’s breaths.
Tang Li looked at him, dumbstruck.
Qi Yihan suddenly couldn’t stand her gaze and looked away. He said mockingly, “I thought you had changed a lot. I didn’t expect you to be the same as before. Do you think every man will fall for the little tricks that you are playing?”
Tang Li was speechless.
“Mrs. Qi, we finally found you.”
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.
“Fourth Master.”
Qi Yihan’s 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, “What is it?”
Doctor Xiang quickly put away his awkwardness and said to Tang Li, “Mrs. Qi, a patient here is dying. You know that person too. He’s Situ Jin. Can you take a look?”
“What happened to Situ Jin?” 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, “Last night, someone drugged him and made him lose his Yang energy. There’s nothing we can do now. Mr. Situ asked us to look for Mrs. Qi.”
Hearing that, Tang Li scoffed. She wanted to say no, but she remembered that this person was Qi Yihan’s friend, so she turned to him and said, “I 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 he’s about to die, he remembered me.”
Normally, Qi Yihan would have said, “Of course people would take you as a fraud.” However, hearing Tang Li’s complaint, he actually felt that Situ Jin deserved it, so he asked the doctor, “In your hospital, who could’ve drugged him?”
“Well…”
The other two doctors looked at each other. One of the doctors said, “I heard that it was his fiancée who drugged him. She popped out all of a sudden without anyone noticing.
“How did she manage to do that? Without the patient’s permission, people are not allowed in here.”
He was sure that Situ Jin would not let that woman in.
“No, she was brought in by another lady. She got permission to enter from the patient.”
Doctor Xiang added, “Mrs. Qi knows who she is, too.”
Tang Li immediately knew who it was. “Xu Yaran.”
At the mention of her, Tang Li glanced at Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan frowned even more tightly. “Why did Situ Jin let Xu Yaran in?”
“Well… we don’t know.”
“Mrs. Qi, the patient is dying. Why don’t you go and take a look?”
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. “What’s 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?”
“This…”
“Didn’t he mention the pay?”
Tang Li was still holding a grudge against Situ jin. She stood there without moving. “Go and tell him that if he wants me to treat him, the pay will be fifty million yuan plus one of his family’s most valuable antiques. If he agrees, I’ll save him.”
“Well… why don’t you go over first?” The two doctors could not make up their minds about Tang Li’s 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.
Qi Yihan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “Situ Jin has a pair of Kylin jades. I heard he obtained them from an imperial tomb.”
The three doctors were struck dumb, thinking to themselves, “Fourth Master, are you helping your wife rip off Mr. Situ?”

When Tang Li heard this, her eyes lit up. “Alright, I want the Kylin jades in his hand. If he agrees, I’ll save him.”
“…”
“Mrs. Qi, why don’t you tell him yourself? Mr. Situ probably can’t take the stimulation now. We’re worried that if we tell him, he will… die.”
Tang Li was a little hesitant.
Qi Yihan suggested, “You have to go over later anyway. If he dies during this period, you won’t get anything.”
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.
“Aunt Situ, stop it. Sangsang doesn’t know that Brother Situ will be like this. She is Brother Situ’s fiancée. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be intimate with him.”
Hearing that, Tang Li turned to Qi Yihan and said, “Miss Xu seems to like you a lot.”
Qi Yihan’s expression turned cold. “What has this got to do with me?”
