  Qi Yan’s eyes flickered slightly.

  This was also the reason why he was unwilling to help out in the beginning.

  Tan Bengbeng asked, “Couldn’t we ask the Ghost Doctor for help?”


  However, with the relationship he shared with the Ghost Doctor…


  Qi Yan shook his head with a face of resignation and said, “Would you believe if I said that I couldn’t locate him?”


  The thing that Nian Xiaomu needed the most right now was time.

  Furthermore, it was better that they did not have to invite the ghost doctor over. His motto of killing one person after saving one was not a joking matter!

  Qi Yan reached out and drew Tan Bengbeng into his embrace; he did not say anything, and simply hugged her.

  It was rare that Tan Bengbeng did not push him away and allowed him to hug her.

  She seemed to be able to sense his stress.

  After he had hugged her for a long while, he brushed away the bangs on her forehead and stared directly at her bright eyes.

  He asked her in a serious manner, “I don’t care what the others think, but will you blame me if I fail?”


  “…”


  He was always making a serious question sound like a confession.

  It made her so confused that she did not know how to reply to him.

  Qi Yan asked, “Okay, I’ll phrase it differently. Will you feel that I am useless if I fail?”


  “No.”


  “I need fresh herbs as well as the most advanced laboratory. We have none of them here, are you willing to accompany me back to the island to retrieve them?”


  Qi Yan nervously held his breath after he had popped these questions.

  Whatever he had said before were foreshadows, and this question was the most crucial one out of all.

  He could guarantee that he would definitely fail if she did not return with him.

  How could he calm down and dispense the medicine when all his thoughts were on her and their child!

  “I am worried about Xiao Mumu…”


  Tan Bengbeng realized that Qi Yan’s gaze darkened immediately after she spoke, just like a child who was about to be abandoned. His devilish eyes even emitted a pitiful look.

  She pursed her lips and could not continue speaking.

  No matter what, she was the reason Qi Yan was forced to get involved in this messy situation.

  And now, he had to challenge the power of the Ghost Doctor and undergo such tremendous stress.

  Even though she is also a doctor, she was not as skilled as him when it came to the dispensing of medicine; however, she might still be of some help if she followed him around.

  Tan Bengbeng’s entire mind was in a mess.

  However, when she stared at Qi Yan’s pitiful gaze, she instinctively reached out and hugged him.

  She said softly, “I have to ask Xiao Mumu about her next few arrangements and be certain that she will not be in danger. After I have done so, I will accompany you back.”


  “Let’s do a pinky promise first!” Elated, Qi Yan released his grip and stuck out his pinky finger in front of her.

  “…”


  As Tan Bengbeng scorned at the finger that was extended out to her, she wondered: How old is he?

  He actually still believed in pinky promises.

  After she coordinated with him helplessly, Qi Yan immediately pulled her into his embrace and planted a wet kiss on her lips.

  As he raised his eyebrows merrily, he said, “This is a stamp of confirmation. With this, you can no longer go back on your word!”


  “…”


  Qi the three-year-old.

  Why did he become the King of Hell? He would be better off being a kid.

  Even kids would not be as shameless and childish as him.

  Tan Bengbeng only dragged him back into the living room after she was sure that he would not go back on his word.

  The others were all waiting for them in their original spots.

  Before Tan Bengbeng could report the situation, Qi Yan had already told her to sit down and remain silent as he strolled forward to the sofa alone.

  Leaning in his sinister face toward Nian Xiaomu, he braved the danger of getting disfigured by Yu Yuehan and spoke slowly.

  “If I managed to dispense the antidote thus saving your grandpa, and even allowed him to regain his consciousness and speak, to the extent that he could even get back on his feet, what token of appreciation should I be expecting?”


  “…”!!

  What did he say?
