It was already morning, and Meng Lin had gone out to shop. Li Qianfan gave Li Dalong a sum of money to rent a storefront in preparation for starting a business.
With the startup capital from Li Qianfan, Li Dalong was naturally invigorated and full of confidence, as if he was set to make a great impact.
But Li Qianfan himself was quite at leisure.
Although Lin Ran had said the night before to serve as bait to attract the Su Family to deal with him, this way they could catch the Su Family red-handed.
But as to how exactly this should be done, Lin Ran hadn’t given any instructions.
Li Qianfan pondered for a long while, feeling that he certainly couldn’t just stay at home; he had to go out and about.
After all, his new residence was only known to a few people, including Lin Ran, but the Su Family didn’t know.
Since the Su Family didn’t know where he lived, there was no need to talk about making a move against him.
Thus, Li Qianfan also left the house, strolling around the streets aimlessly to make his presence known and create an opportunity for the Su Family to act.
However, what Li Qianfan never expected was that he didn’t encounter anyone from the Su Family; instead, he ran into Ye Ling’er!
Seeing Ye Ling’er, the expression on Li Qianfan’s face instantly became very awkward.
“Good morning, Miss Ye,” Li Qianfan greeted, though his scalp tingled.
“What good morning, it’s already past ten in the morning, and I’m not in a good mood at all!”
Dressed in a white T-shirt and light blue jeans, with a pair of white sneakers on her feet, Ye Ling’er walked over with her hands on her hips, and as soon as she reached Li Qianfan, she reprimanded him without any courtesy, “What’s wrong with you, why on earth did you suddenly quit Four Seas Martial Pavilion! And you didn’t even discuss it with me beforehand, that’s just too much!”
Li Qianfan knew Ye Ling’er would be angry, but there was nothing he could do.
He was now fully committed to the Cultivator Association, so there was no need to linger in the Four Seas Martial Pavilion.
Besides, he had more important things to handle now; where would he find the time to be a coach at Four Seas Martial Pavilion?
But these reasons, Li Qianfan couldn’t explain to Ye Ling’er!
So Li Qianfan acted as if he had no choice and said, “I had no other way, I’m sick. My health is poor, I can’t keep being a coach at your Four Seas Martial Pavilion.”
“Sick? What illness?” Ye Ling’er’s face paled.
“Do you believe me if I say it’s cancer?” Li Qianfan retorted.
“I’ll believe you when hell freezes over! You were fine before, how could you suddenly get cancer!” Ye Ling’er exclaimed.
Ye Ling’er’s voice was too loud, and the passing pedestrians all curiously looked their way.
And since Ye Ling’er was quite beautiful with an outstanding figure, a girl as exceptional as her already turned heads, and now, of course, she attracted even more attention.
Li Qianfan quickly pulled Ye Ling’er to a deserted corner, saying, “Granny, can you keep your voice down, do you want the whole world to know I’ve got cancer?”
“Do you really have cancer? What kind?” Ye Ling’er asked with a grave expression.
“Lung cancer.”
Li Qianfan put his hand to his mouth and coughed a few times, pretending to have difficulty breathing, “I don’t know what happened. Suddenly, they found I had lung cancer, the doctor said I needed to recuperate calmly, and that if I treated it actively, there was a great chance of cure.”
“But you don’t need to quit Four Seas Martial Pavilion, I could speak to the gym owner and get you extended leave. First, you get your treatment, and once you’re better, you can continue…”
Ye Ling’er was interrupted by Li Qianfan before she finished speaking, “Whether I’ll survive or not is still unknown. You shouldn’t count on me to work for you at Four Seas Martial Pavilion, okay?”
“Aren’t you also knowledgeable in medical skills, and aren’t your medical skills pretty formidable?” Ye Ling’er added.
“Wrong specialization, every doctor has their area of expertise and their weaknesses, you understand?” Li Qianfan said vaguely.
Cancer, Li Qianfan was capable of treating it.
You should know that Li Qianfan had the “Divine Physician Manual” in his possession!
But Ye Ling’er didn’t know Li Qianfan had this capability, so she was truly fooled by Li Qianfan.
Yet after thinking it over, Ye Ling’er added, “I know a really amazing Goddess Doctor, but she’s currently not in Taoyuan County. You just hold on for a while, and I’ll ask her to come and check on you for treatment later on.”
“Thank you for your kindness, but it’s not necessary. I’ll just go to the hospital for treatment. I believe in modern medicine,” Li Qianfan said.
“What are you talking about at this point? Can you stop joking around, please? This is cancer we’re talking about, one wrong step and you might just be pushing up daisies, so we can’t pass up any chance at salvation!”
Before Li Qianfan could say anything more, Ye Ling’er firmly declared, “That’s settled then. You wait for my news, and as soon as that Goddess Doctor arrives, I’ll bring her straight to you.”
Li Qianfan’s head ached terribly.
Originally, he intended to fool Ye Ling’er with the pretense of being ill, but now Ye Ling’er insisted on bringing a Goddess Doctor to examine and treat him.
What would he do by then?
If the Goddess Doctor came, wouldn’t Li Qianfan be exposed?
When that time came, if Ye Ling’er found out she had been deceived, she’d strangle Li Qianfan for sure!
But now, with Ye Ling’er having said so much, Li Qianfan didn’t have any proper reason to refuse. He could only sigh and agree, “Alright then. Thank you very much for your kindness.”
“You’re welcome,” Ye Ling’er replied, nodding with satisfaction.
Sigh, how was he going to deal with this?
Indeed, one should not lie at will. A lie needs to be covered up with more lies, and sooner or later it will be impossible to cover them all.
Forget it, just take it one step at a time.
With that in mind, Li Qianfan said, “I should get going then. We’ll get in touch another day.”
However, as soon as Li Qianfan turned around, Ye Ling’er grabbed his wrist.
“Don’t go just yet. I still need your help,” Ye Ling’er said, holding Li Qianfan’s hand.
“What help?” Li Qianfan asked, looking confused.
Ye Ling’er’s cheeks suddenly turned rosy.
Li Qianfan, puzzled, asked, “Are you going to speak? Why are you blushing?”
“I want… want you to pretend to be my boyfriend,” Ye Ling’er said somewhat sheepishly.
“Why is that?” Li Qianfan curiously inquired.
“Oh, don’t ask so many questions now. I’ll explain when we get there.”
Saying that, Ye Ling’er pulled Li Qianfan over to the roadside and gestured to hail a taxi.
But one taxi after another passed by, all with passengers, none of them stopping.
By chance, a bus pulled up to the bus stop nearby, so Ye Ling’er dragged Li Qianfan onto the bus.
Perhaps because it was the weekend, the bus was extremely crowded, filled to the brim and standing room only, bus passengers squished together, and not even a spot to put their feet for Li Qianfan and Ye Ling’er.
In order to make it easier to get off, Li Qianfan and Ye Ling’er finally managed to squeeze their way to a spot near the back door to stand.
It was at this moment that the bus pulled away.
