Chapter 96 Qin Yeting is Going to Arrange a Marriage

Xia Yue didn't know how long she had been unconscious.

She was awakened by the pungent smell of disinfectant, and when she opened her eyes, all she saw was a blinding white.

Where is this?

Xia Yue tried to move her body, but found that her right arm was bandaged, and any movement caused excruciating pain.

This was caused by someone who suddenly appeared in a black suit and was shot.

Fortunately, it was just a scratch and no bones were broken.

The left hand, which was receiving an IV drip, was also immobile.

Xia Yue could only stare at the ceiling with her eyes open.

"Is anyone there?" Xia Yue called out weakly.

The door to the room was immediately pushed open, and a female doctor walked in, along with a familiar figure.

However, it wasn't Qin Yeting, but Assistant Zhou.

"Miss, how are you feeling?" Assistant Zhou asked loudly.

When Xia Yue heard the title "Assistant Zhou," she knew that her identity had probably not been exposed yet.

It's barely good news.

"I feel a little dizzy. How long have I been asleep? And where am I?"

“This is the Qin family’s old residence. You were unconscious for two days. Since you are a distinguished guest attending our auction and were injured at the Qin family’s residence, we should be responsible for your case,” Assistant Zhou explained politely.

Xia Yue, however, did not want to stay here any longer.

She had finally found a lead on Liu Meilan, and she couldn't let it end like that.

Moreover, now the royal family of Country A has also set its sights on her, so this place is not safe.

"Thank you for taking care of me, but I think I'm fine now, I need to leave." Xia Yue struggled to get up.

The female doctor helped Xia Yue sit up.

Because of the doctor's criticism, the female doctor said, "Your body needs rest, especially your arm. Although there is no bone injury, you can't move it for the time being. It's best to rest in bed for another two days."

Assistant Zhou also said, "Miss, our young master has given orders to take good care of you. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Xia Yue frowned slightly; her identity didn't have much interaction with Qin Yeting.

She remembered that Qin Yeting had come to save her before she lost consciousness.

It seems Qin Yeting has become suspicious.

If I insist on leaving, he will probably send someone to follow me secretly.

Right now... it's more important to get my health back in good shape.

Xia Yue thought for a moment and then said, "Alright then, but can't you prepare some food for me? I'm a little hungry."

“Of course, no problem, please wait a moment,” Assistant Zhou replied loudly.

The female doctor examined Xia Yue again, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she left.

Xia Yue had thought things would remain calm and peaceful.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yeting arrived that evening.

Two days ago at the auction, Xia Yue was busy with the thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata and only had a brief encounter with Qin Yeting without taking a closer look.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the man had become significantly thinner than usual.

His face was paler than before, and he had heavy dark circles under his eyes. His brows were constantly furrowed, making him look serious and melancholy.

Even so, it still couldn't hide his superior features and refined temperament.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for saving me." Xia Yue lowered her voice and spoke in a slightly weak tone.

"You're welcome. It's what the Qin family should do," Qin Yeting replied calmly.

He had no interest in chatting with this woman.

He only paid more attention to her because he hadn't been able to find Xiaoyue'er and this woman reminded him of her.

"By the way, Mr. Qin, I bought some thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata before. Because I was afraid it would be stolen, I hid it in a secret place in your Qin family. Could you take me there to find it?" Xia Yue asked tentatively.

"No problem, just tell me the location, and I'll send my men to fetch it," Qin Yeting readily agreed.

He actually knew where the woman had put the things, since he had sent people to follow her the whole time.

However, there are some things that don't need to be explicitly stated.

Xia Yue immediately informed the local authorities.

Qin Yeting immediately sent someone to retrieve it.

Soon, the thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata returned to Xia Yue's hands.

Xia Yue confirmed that it was genuine, and a great weight was lifted from her shoulders.

Qin Yeting is a busy man, and his visit this time was certainly not just a simple greeting to Xia Yue.

"The group that infiltrated the Qin family that day was the royal family of Country A. Two of them are related to my wife. I don't know what your relationship is with them, and why they are targeting you?" Qin Yeting finally asked the question that was on his mind.

When Xia Yue heard the term "wife," she felt it was somewhat surreal.

She, the wife of the eldest son of the Qin family, had been kept in the dark all along.

What kind of wife is she?

Xia Yue sneered and said, "Because I bought the thousand-year-old Gastrodia elata, and they wanted it too, so there was a conflict."

"real?"

“If Young Master Qin doesn’t believe me, he can go and investigate for himself.” Xia Yue’s disguise was flawless, and her emotional control was perfect.

Qin Yeting was unable to uncover the truth.

He had no choice but to give up for the time being.

Anyway, this person will stay at the Qin family for two more days, so he will have plenty of opportunities.

"By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know how to address you, miss?"

"Names don't matter. I'm just a nobody. In a few days, I won't have any further contact with top tycoons and billionaires like Young Master Qin," Xia Yue replied calmly.

Qin Yeting was clearly teased.

For some reason, he felt that this woman was very hostile towards him.

Given his status, ordinary people would be too busy currying favor with him to care, and if they were saved by him, they would be extremely grateful.

But now, the woman showed no reaction at all.

Could it be a case of feigning indifference to lure the prey into a trap?
