  Qi Yan was very firm in his decision and there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

  He was very clear that Tang Yuansi’s medical condition was the only bargaining chip that he could use to negotiate with Tan Bengbeng.

  Judging from how badly Tan Bengbeng hated him, she would surely kick him aside once Tang Yuansi had recovered if he had readily agreed to her request to treat him.

  He could help to treat him, but only on the condition that she promised not to leave him.

  If Tan Bengbeng could not make the decision, then Nian Xiaomu shall do it…


  A chilly ray of light flickered beneath Qi Yan’s eyes. With a sideways glance, he stared at Nian Xiaomu, who was standing at a distance not too far away from him. “Didn’t you tell me to let you know my conditions? I can let you know right now - I can save Tang Yuansi, but you must agree to let Tan…”


  “It’s fine if you are not helping.” Tan Bengbeng spoke up all of a sudden and interrupted Qi Yan’s sentence.

  Stunned, Qi Yan lifted his eyes to look at her.

  It seemed as though he was trying to understand if she was joking or if she was serious about it.

  Based on the current situation, he was Tang Yuansi’s only hope. And yet, she had simply rejected him like this?

  Tan Bengbeng said, “You are indeed very skilled, but you are not our only choice. I have forgotten to inform you, but I specialize in Cardiothoracic surgery and this is also a field that the Tan family is an expert in. I might just have a way out for Tang Yuansi’s heart disease; you would have nothing to do here once I have understood his current condition and confirmed that I would be able to save him.”


  After Tan Bengbeng had finished speaking, she walked toward Nian Xiaomu and got ready to leave.

  “Wait!” Qi Yan snapped back to his senses and stood up swiftly.

  However, he realized that his reaction was a little agitated and he sat back down in the wheelchair again.

  He let out a light cough to hide his embarrassment before speaking, “Don’t think that I would be fooled by the reverse psychology method that you have used. However, I am a kind person and as someone who practices medicine, I have a heart of selfless dedication and sacrifice too. I can follow you over to take a look at him, but I will only visit him - I have not promised to save him!”


  Qi Yan was not a fool.

  Right now, it did not matter if Tan Bengbeng was really able to save him, as it would be hard to see her again if he really let her go.

  If he followed her to the hospital, he could still stick around her.

  Furthermore, she would surely be utterly p*ssed if he simply rejected her; if she really had the ability to save Tang Yuansi, then he would definitely be the first person on her blacklist in the future.

  In that case, he might as well follow her around and play by ear.

  If he offered his help at such a crucial timing, Tan Bengbeng might still take his kindness into account and treat him with more politeness.

  If she was not able to save Tang Yuansi unfortunately… Hehe, he would turn into their only choice and his worth would definitely have increased by then.

  She would surely have to appease him, and there would definitely be some hugs and kisses and more.

  In any case, for safety purposes, he must stay close by her side from now on!

  Tan Bengbeng cast a glance at him and read his face that was filled with bad thoughts. Then, her eyes flickered slightly.

  “Have you decided? If you don’t feel like going, you don’t have to force yourself. It’s not like I can’t survive without you.”


  Qi Yan replied, “I will definitely head over to take a look since I have already promised to do so. I am a man of promises.”


  “…”


  How was he acquainted with the title “man of promises” in any way?

  However, Tan Bengbeng still heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that he was really willing to visit Tang Yuansi.

  She turned around to tell Nian Xiaomu about what she had experienced during this period of time, with no intention to agitate him.

  That includes how she was hunted for her life, how she jumped into the sea and was found by Qi Yan in the end…


  The chattering of the sister duo filled the air during their entire journey back. Even though Tan Bengbeng spoke very softly, Qi Yan could still hear them. When he heard the sentence “I was already on an isolated island the moment I regained consciousness and there was even a man beside me,” he coughed and reiterated in a volume which everyone could hear.
