Chapter 47: The Sensitive Little Maid

By the time Lin Xiyan arrived at the forest outskirts, Ye Chen’s condition had slightly improved, enough for him to stand up with some effort.

“What happened to you?” Lin Xiyan asked, frowning at Ye Chen, who looked like a beaten dog, covered in injuries and exuding a weak aura.

“It’s a long story... Can you help me find a place to stay first?” Ye Chen’s voice was weak, speaking each word with evident difficulty, clearly in a bad state.

“Alright.” Lin Xiyan didn’t press further, considering Ye Chen’s condition. She felt it was inappropriate to bring up the matter of the Beauty Pill at this time.

“You guys, help him into the car and take him to my apartment in Jiaxin Garden,” she instructed the bodyguards who accompanied her.

“Understood, Miss,” the bodyguards responded and carefully lifted Ye Chen into the vehicle.

“Senior sister, there’s one more thing I need to ask of you...” Ye Chen said as he was being helped into the car.

“What is it? I’ll help if I can,” Lin Xiyan replied, willing to assist her junior brother within reason.

“Could you send someone to get some medicinal herbs for me? Snake gall, Fragrant Grass, Dong Quai, Cuttlefish Flower...” Ye Chen listed, each word followed by labored breathing.

“I’ll take care of it,” Lin Xiyan assured, understanding that Ye Chen needed these herbs for his recovery. Without them, it could take months for him to heal.

Thus, Ye Chen was taken to Jiaxin Garden by Lin Xiyan’s bodyguards, while she returned to the Lin family home.

She planned to ask for the Beauty Pill formula from Ye Chen once he recovered, not wanting to waste the three billion she had invested.

“Lin Xiyan will be there?” Jiang Che’s interest was piqued, as this wasn’t a scenario from the original story. His actions must have altered the plot.

“Yeah, really no interest?” Li prodded.

“Alright, tell me the time,” Jiang Che said, somewhat reluctantly.

“Eight o’clock tonight, Linjiang Pier. Don’t miss it.”

“Fine,” Jiang Che agreed and hung up.

Turning around, he noticed Ah Qing’s face was filled with unease, her eyes almost teary. “What’s wrong, are you jealous?” he teased, pulling her into his arms and playfully nudging her nose.

“Who is Lin Xiyan, Young Master...” Ah Qing asked, her voice tinged with a hint of distress.

“Just a friend.”

“Does Miss Shen know about her?” Ah Qing knew about Jiang Che’s engagement to Shen Qingqiu.

“Of course, she knows. Lin Xiyan is her junior sister,” Jiang Che said, stroking Ah Qing’s hair with a white lie. He had come to understand Ah Qing’s sensitive and sentimental nature over the past few days.

“That’s good then,” Ah Qing murmured, a smile returning to her face.

She didn’t resent Jiang Che’s potential interest in other women, considering his status. What she feared was being forgotten by him, now deeply attached to her Young Master.

“You won’t leave me, right, Young Master? I’ll always be your maid, by your side,” Ah Qing pleaded softly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Jiang Che reassured her, recognizing the depth of her feelings and her fear of being abandoned.
