Chapter 78: A Kiss
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Tang Li felt like the man in front of her was challenging her. In that case, she would not have to teach him something.
At the thought of this, she stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then she landed a kiss on the corner of his lips.
The kiss was extremely loud. After kissing, their eyes met, and it was as if an invisible current was fighting in the air.
Tang Li saw a hint of anger in his eyes.
Afraid that he would go back on his word and say that he wanted to divorce her, she bent down and slipped out from under his arm. As she ran, she said, “You asked for it, so don’t blame me and think about divorcing me.”
By the time she finished saying the last word, she was already downstairs.
After a while, Qi Yihan, who was still leaning forward, stood up and touched the spot where he had been kissed. An unfathomable glint flashed across his eyes before he lowered his hand and walked downstairs.
When she reached the ground floor, Tang Li had already run out.
Only Butler Zhang stood there, dumbfounded.
When Butler Zhang saw Qi Yihan, he quickly went up to him. “Master.”
Qi Yihan nodded and walked out as well.
Butler Zhang continued to stand there in a daze.
What did Madam do to Master just now?
Also, Master came back in the middle of the night last night and didn’t want to disturb Madam, so he stayed downstairs. This morning, he went up to get dressed after showering. Why did Madam react so strongly and come down?
When Qi Yihan reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said to him, “Get them to send me two more sets of clothes.”
Butler Zhang quickly replied, “Yes, Master.”
…
As soon as Tang Li rushed out, she was bumped into by Situ Huang, who was looking for her.
“Fourth Madam.”
Tang Li put on a serious expression and asked, “Don’t tell me you found the herbs, it’s really quick.”
Situ Huang’s expression immediately darkened. “No, not yet.”
Tang Li looked at him. “Then why are you looking for me?”
“Here’s the thing. I’ve got the hospital to prepare the medicine that you prescribed for him, but after eating it, he has been having a hard time falling asleep. Why is that?”
“He can’t fall asleep?” Tang Li frowned. She planned to take a look personally. “Let’s go. I’ll go take a look.”
The two of them went to Situ Jin’s villa.
Situ Jin was still lying on the bed with his eye sockets slightly sunken. He looked haggard and sickly. When he saw Tang Li walk in, he only nodded at her.
One good thing about getting treated by Tang Li was that her customer service was excellent. She walked to the bedside and asked, “Are you having a hard time falling asleep after you take the medicine I prescribed you.”
“Yes,” he answered.
“Show me your wrist.”
Situ Jin extended his wrist while Tang Li took his pulse. After a while, she frowned.
“Miss Tang, what happened to my son?”
Tang Li looked at Situ Jin unhappily and said, “What have you been doing these past few days?”
A trace of surprise flashed across Situ Jin’s eyes. He lowered his eyes and said weakly, “Nothing much.”
Situ Huang panicked as well. “Miss Tang, Jin really hasn’t done much these past two days. He’s just…”
At this point, Situ Huang suddenly thought of something. “Miss Tang, are you saying that Jin can’t even work for two hours?”
Tang Li let go of his wrist, stood up, and took a step back. She said, “Not only is his body injured, but his brain is also injured. He is not supposed to work.”
Situ Huang and Situ Jin fell silent.
The two of them thought that two hours of work a day would be fine, but they didn’t expect it to be like this.
“So it’s because Jin is too tired from work that he can’t sleep at night?”
“Correct, mostly.” After Tang Li finished speaking, she fixed her gaze on Situ Jin and asked, “Someone came to look for you these past two days, right?”
Situ Jin also frowned. The people looking for him were Qin Sangsang’s family. They were here to apologize to him. At that time, Qin Sangsang’s sister was also here, too.
“Did they do something to me again?” Situ Jin’s eyes flashed with killing intent.
Tang Li looked at his face for a few seconds and suddenly shook her head. He and the Qin sisters had a complicated relationship, so she did not want to get involved. She only said, “You must have been affected by her words. Coupled with the fact that you’re sick and working, that’s why you couldn’t sleep at night.”
Situ Jin looked at her and had a feeling that she was holding something back from telling him.
However, he didn’t pry into it. He only asked, “Can Fourth Madam help me recover from insomnia?”
“Just add a pinch of Distraction Wood to the medicine you’re taking.”
Distraction wood was one of the herbs used to treat insomnia.
“That simple?”
“What else? The herbs I prescribed to you are all very powerful and effective.”
The two of them stopped talking. Tang Li did not want to stay here any longer. As a doctor, she told him, “You’re seriously ill now, so you have to take care of yourself. Don’t think about earning money. Without life, you won’t have the chance to spend it.”
Situ Jin nodded. “Thank you for your reminder, Fourth Madam.”
Without lingering longer, Tang Li turned around and walked out.
Situ Huang walked her out.
Tang Li asked, “How’s the search for the herbs going?”
Situ Huang didn’t answer.
Tang Li tilted her head to look at him and saw that the middle-aged man did not look happy.
It was obvious that the search wasn’t going smoothly.
Tang Li did not ask further and quickened her pace.
When the two of them walked out of the courtyard, Situ Huang asked Tang Li, “Miss Tang, the herbs you requested are really hard to find. Name a price, and I’ll pay. Can you help me find them?”
Tang Li suddenly stopped.
Situ Huang stopped as well.
Tang Li smiled. “What do you think the cost will be to pay me to find something that even such a big family like the Situ can’t find?”
Situ Huang had a feeling that Tang Li would make exorbitant demands. However, the people he sent out had indeed not found anything in the past few days, so he was a little anxious.
His son was the most talented in business among the younger generations in his family. He couldn’t sit back and wait because his position in the family as the heir to the Situ family was already in danger.
So, no matter how much Tang Li wanted, he would try to give it to her.
“As long as Miss Tang offers a price, I don’t care how much it costs.”
Tang Li’s smile deepened as she said, “One million for each herb, no bargaining.”
Situ Huang’s mind went blank. He glared at Tang Li and ground his teeth. “It’s no different from robbing me, Miss Tang.”
One had to know that there were thirty to forty types of herbs on the list.
“It’s illegal to rob, but It’s not illegal to help you look for herbs.”
Situ Huang took a deep breath, planning to discuss it with his son later. “I’ll think about it.”
Tang Li did not mind. “Take your time. I have to go now.”
With that, she left.
After Tang Li left, Situ Huang returned to Situ Jin’s ward and told him what Tang Li had said.
Situ Jin thought for a moment and said, “We can offer a ten million reward on the black market for people who help us find all the herbs. They should know where to get them.”
Situ Huang agreed and went to do it.
