  “If I said I did that to sacrifice myself for the field of medicine, would you believe me?” Qi Yan asked in a serious manner.

  Tan Bengbeng darted a glance at him and bit her lip as if she was hesitating whether to believe him or not.

  Her suspicion towards him earlier had diminished a little upon hearing that he was the King of Medicine.

  After all, from Tan Bengbeng’s impression, the King of Medicine had a god-like existence.

  Every time the elders of the Tan family had mentioned this person, they would show a huge amount of respect for him, explaining her attitude towards this person.

  However, never would she have expected that the legendary King of Medicine, who could revive the dead with just a bottle of medicine, was this young and… such a jerk!

  Qi Yan could tell what she was thinking and simply let out a snort. “Judging a book by its cover isn’t right. I do like to tease you, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not good at concocting medicine. One mustn’t make a biased judgment like this.”


  Tan Bengbeng was squatting a distance away from him as she replied coldly, “I’m just making a reasonable deduction. Someone who concocts medicine and has questionable morals might not necessarily be a menace to society, but at least they can’t possibly be linked to sacrifice for the field of medicine.”


  Qi Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, “That means you don’t believe what I said? Then, what’s the point of asking me?”


  “…”


  Qi Yan went on, “I’m researching on a type of medicine on leg disease. In order to concoct a suitable medicine, I naturally need to know what such a patient needs, so I decided to try it myself. I took medicine which would cause me to be unable to walk for a month. The effects of this medicine wore off yesterday, so I can walk now.”


  “…”


  Her rationale told her that his words could not be trusted. But, her heart still faltered.

  She pursed her lips and did not directly shoot off his words.

  It seemed that she still believed him.

  She had just convinced herself that he could be serious about this when Qi Yan started bursting into wild and arrogant laughter.

  “Hahaha! Why are you so adorable? You believe everything that I say!”


  “…!!”


  Qi Yan’s hands were supporting the side of the bed and his sinister face leaned forward to her.

  “I just felt that after sleeping with you, if I appeared before you in an arrogant manner, you’d probably give me a beating. So, after some thought, I felt that pretending to be disabled would make you sympathize with me. Later on, when I realized that you really sympathized with me, I decided to simply continue putting on a pretense.”


  “…!!”


  He had not said anything wrong. She really wanted to give him a beating.

  Tan Bengbeng had her teeth clenched in anger and if not for her whole body having no strength left, she would have already gone forward to beat him up!

  “You really look ghastly pale. You’re not feeling well, let me have a look at your pulse,” Qi Yan muttered as he put on a look of seriousness on his face.

  However, Tan Bengbeng did not let him touch her.

  “I’m fine, it’s just that my period is coming. I want to use the washroom, you should get out now!”


  “…”


  Qi Yan cast her a glance and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he did not agree with her.

  But, Tan Bengbeng put on a look which seemed to threaten to fight him if he dared to touch her. Qi Yan did not provoke her further and turned to leave.

  Just when he reached the door, Tan Bengbeng stopped him.

  Qi Yan hurriedly turned around and looked at her intently. “If you can’t bear for me to leave, I won’t go out!”


  Tan Bengbeng did not hesitate to roll her eyes at him and muttered rather awkwardly, “I don’t have… that thing…”


  Qi Yan was taken aback and a sinister grin formed on his lips.

  He asked the obvious, “What?”


  When Tan Bengbeng’s face had finally reddened to the color of a persimmon in autumn, he then took his own sweet time to get his men to get what she needed for her period.
