Chapter 35

However, his pulse was steady and strong.

Other than being a little excited, Fu Shiyan was just fine.

Chi Wei frowned. With a stern expression, she said, “Remember to get a check-up later.”

“Your taste buds are out of order. It is very likely that you’ll collapse soon. If you get treatment on time, you can be cured. However, if it’s too late… it will be life-threatening.”

Almost instantly, the charming atmosphere completely dissipated.

Fu Shiyan slightly lowered his eyes. His gaze landed on Chi Wei’s fair fingers that were resting on his wrist.

The warmness of her fingertips set his heart ablaze.

Unfortunately, it did not last long.

Chi Wei had always been very accommodating with her patients. When she saw that Fu Shiyan was frozen and speechless, she paused for a while before saying, “Little Yan, don’t be afraid.”

“I will check up on you as often as I can.”

“…”

After saying a few comforting words and instructing Fu Shiyan to go to the hospital, Chi Wei pushed the office door open.

She remembered that there was a rather large tea shop around the area.

Chi Wei wanted to buy a few boxes of tea. She had always loved drinking tea.

Perhaps it was because she had been influenced by a bunch of old people. After all, she had been working with them ever since she was young.

However, her favorite type of tea was extremely rare. Her subordinates had searched all over the place, but they only managed to get their hands on a small amount. Chi Wei had never seen that specific tea again after she had previously finished them.

Unexpectedly, it was available at the tea shop.

Chi Wei immediately took the bag of tea leaves without any hesitation.

Just as she was about to make a payment at the counter, a hand suddenly reached out to her from behind.

The person snatched the bag of tea leaves from her without any explanation. Her voice was a little old and coarse, but there was a hint of nobility in it.

“I’ll be taking this.”

She promptly put the bag of tea leaves on the counter and signaled the boss without any shame.

Her voice sounded quite familiar.

Chi Wei lifted her eyelids and stared at the old figure.

She looked very familiar as well.

However, Chi Wei rarely remembered anyone unless they left a deep impression on her or if she cared about them. Her mind was filled with all kinds of knowledge and theories. There was no room for irrelevant people.

In fact, it was the other person who reacted first after they locked eyes. She seemed shocked but only for a brief moment.

‘This vulgar young girl had not been educated properly. That’s why she’s loitering around here.’

“I want this bag of tea leaves. I assume you have no objections?”

If she knew what was good for her, she would agree obediently.

It was only natural for youngsters to be humble and respect their elders.

Chi Wei blinked her eyes and finally remembered.

The person in front of her, who had a full head of white hair, was none other than Old Madam Chi. She was the matron of the Chi family. Since she had been in the Chi family for many years, she had quite a high status. All the servants had to listen to her orders.

“This…”

The owner of the tea shop was an impartial person. Naturally, he knew what had happened.

“But this young girl took the bag of tea leaves first. You just snatched…”

“What do you mean I snatched it from her?”

The old lady cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

Then, she paused for a moment and laughed.

“Being filial to your elders is to be expected. You don’t mind, right?”

“…”

The little girl tilted her head and blinked her eyes.

In a serious tone, she said, “I didn’t mind at first, but now I do.”
