  Qi Yan curled his lips and let out a smile instead. With a look that deserved some beating, he walked over to Tan Bengbeng’s side.

  “Let me guess, have you realized that Tang Yuansi’s condition no longer allows him to undergo any more operations?”


  “…”


  Tan Bengbeng narrowed her eyes when she saw the smile on his face. She had a strong urge to beat him up so badly so that he could no longer smile.

  However, she had to admit that he was right.

  Tang Yuansi’s condition was a lot worse than she had imagined.

  It was no wonder that no doctor dared to put him under the knife, despite his serious condition.

  It was no longer a matter of curing him with an operation, but rather, it all boiled down to the fact that his body could no longer withstand going under the knife.

  His medical records showed that his body had once produced a very serious drug resistance for a period of time; even though this condition had got better, the drug resistance in his body would not disappear immediately.

  He might die on the operating table if there were any sort of deviation during the operation…


  Tan Bengbeng definitely could not solve this problem.

  However, Qi Yan just had to provoke her by saying, “Didn’t you say that you specialize in the almighty cardiothoracic surgery? I am looking forward to seeing your performance!”


  “…”


  She wasn’t in any bit appreciative of his expectations toward her, and she felt like punching him instead. She could not go overboard by having this thought, right?

  Tan Bengbeng frowned and replied, “If I can’t save him, then could you do it by simply giving him a few casual touches?”


  Qi Yan smiled and answered, “Yeah, I just happen to have one or two methods that we can try.”


  “…”


  Everyone else remained silent.

  Shangxin was the first to come back to her senses. The moment she heard that Qi Yan really could save Tang Yuansi, she rushed forward and to beg him to do so.

  However, Qi Yan had already turned around to look at Tan Bengbeng even before she could speak.

  “I have already told you that I am merely here to take a look and that I would not help you to save him. It doesn’t matter who is the one begging me, as I would maintain my stand regardless!”


  After Qi Yan finished speaking, he walked to the sofa in the VIP ward and sat down.

  As he crossed his legs leisurely, he casually picked up a magazine and flipped through it.

  From his expression, it seemed as though he wasn’t in the hospital ward, but was instead at a holiday resort.

  There he was, enjoying the sea breeze with a book in hand…


  The mention of his good mood was not needed.

  Yes, he was in a good mood, but Shangxin was about to burst into tears.

  Even though Tan Bengbeng wasn’t a soft-hearted person, she cared dearly for Nian Xiaomu. Furthermore, she was aware that Shangxin had lent a helping hand to Nian Xiaomu numerous times in the past by protecting her from getting bullied by others.

  Now that Shangxin was pregnant, Tang Yuansi’s life was left hanging on the line. She could not simply stay out of this matter.

  As she gestured to Shangxin not to be anxious, she took in a deep breath and walked to Qi Yan.

  “You win, I am not able to operate on Tang Yuansi based on the current condition of his body. If you have a way out of this…”


  “Why must I help you?” Qi Yan interrupted her indifferently, before raising his eyebrows and casting her a glance.

  The demonic aura that she was familiar with filled his eyes.

  In the past, whenever he had displayed such a gaze, it simply meant that he was unhappy and that he was about to torture her.

  Tan Bengbeng was already mentally prepared to listen to his angry rants. However, Qi Yan suddenly changed his tone and said, “I wasn’t even fierce to you, why did your face turn so pale? Come over here and let me examine you, you seem as if you’re walking through the gates of hell when you are only having a period…”


  Qi Yan grabbed hold of her hand and pulled her closer to him.

  He clasped onto her wrists firmly with his long and slender fingers.

  However, his gaze changed after he felt her pulse for a few seconds.

  He seemed to suspect that he had developed a hallucination as he examined her pulse on her other hand!

  Tan Bengbeng did not notice his expression as she started to speak in a slightly p*ssed tone, “I am fine, don’t you change the topic. What should I do before you would agree to save Tang Yuansi…”
