“Ah Zhong.”

He Yaobai spoke at the right time.

The bodyguard named Ah Zhong retreated upon hearing the voice.

“Miss He, I apologize for my bodyguard’s impolite attitude.”

“There’s no need.” He Youran waved her hand nonchalantly. “As long as you guys don’t continue to cause trouble, I’ll be thankful to the heavens.”

“We didn’t mean to make things difficult for Miss He. It’s just that my condition is very serious and Ah Zhong is anxious to protect his master. That’s why he lost his sense of propriety.”

He Youran looked at him and saw that he was panting after speaking a few words. It seemed that he really had a chronic illness. In order to get rid of this big trouble as soon as possible, she decided to help him take his pulse.

“Then give me your hand. I’ll take your pulse.”

He Yaobai nodded and placed his pale wrist on the car window.

This was a distance that was neither too far nor too close for He Youran to feel safe.

He Youran couldn’t help but glance at him again. She walked over to the car and put her slender fingers on He Yaobai’s wrist.

He Yaobai lowered his eyes and quietly waited for her to see him.

Even though he knew that He Youran couldn’t see anything special.

His illness couldn’t even be cured by an internationally renowned doctor. He Youran was a young doctor in her twenties. He didn’t believe that she was capable of anything.

He Youran placed her small hand on his wrist and examined him carefully.

The more she listened, the more she found it strange.

This person’s pulse was almost as strange as Lu Qingzhuo’s.

Could it be that he was also…

“Miss He, what’s wrong?” He Yaobai saw that she had a strange expression and asked in a low voice.

“Um…” He Youran retracted her hand and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Sir, you’re not sick.”

“Hey! Do you even know how to be a doctor?” Even Ah Xhong could not bear to watch any longer.

Their young master was sick. Anyone with eyes could tell that and yet He Youran was a doctor!

He Yaobai also began to grow impatient.

He even felt like he was being played by He Youran.

He Youran saw that he did not look well and sensed the murderous aura from Ah Zhong, his bodyguard who was protecting his master, so she quickly said,

“Wait, I’m not done yet!”

“Please speak, Miss He.”

“You are indeed not ill, but your pulse is similar to the pulse of someone I know. I suggest you do a blood test!”

“Blood?” He Yaobai frowned. “Then, has the person you know gotten better?”

“No,” He Youran replied decisively.

She could tell this person what to do, but she didn’t want to treat him.

After all, this person had a great background and was very difficult to please. She was so afraid of trouble that she didn’t want to take on this hot potato.

He Yaobai was a shrewd person, so he naturally saw through He Youran’s evasions. He said slowly,

“Miss He saw through my illness at a glance. I don’t believe that there’s no cure. Tell me, how much money do you need to be willing to help me?”

The He family of imperial capital did not lack money.

“I really don’t know how.” He Youran spread her hands innocently.

“Miss He is really unwilling to help, then I have no choice.” He Yaobai said lightly, “However, when I came to look for you, I was very sincere. I even invited your son to prepare dinner.”

He Youran’s gaze turned cold.

“You have my son?”

She didn’t believe that this person would simply treat them to dinner.

He Yaobai smiled.

“After all, I’ve long heard of Miss He’s noble character and uncooperative behavior. If I don’t grasp your weakness, how can I make you listen obediently?”

“Who exactly are you?” He Youran asked straightforwardly.

The fact that He Shouxin was in their hands made her very anxious. She simply didn’t have the patience to continue feigning civility with them.

“Miss He, you have been scheming to get close to Lu Qingzhuo. You should be very familiar with the aristocratic family that is about to marry with the Lu family, right?”

“The He family of imperial capital?” He Youran raised her eyebrows.

“That’s right.”

He Yaobai narrowed his eyes and did not try to hide it.

“Miss He, do you know that you are blocking the way of our He family?”
