“Grandpa, do you remember five years ago? One summer, I was being chased and fled to a mountain. There, I was bitten by a poisonous snake and almost lost my life.”

"Yes, I remember you told me that a girl saved you and gave you some money in the end."

Yes, she is that girl.

"I sent people to search for her for five years, but we never heard from her. I never imagined that you, Grandpa, would help me find her."

"She's that girl? What a coincidence!" Old Liu's voice was a little louder with surprise.

"Yes, it's such a coincidence, but judging from her reaction today, it seems she's forgotten about me." Liu Yichen was a little disappointed.

The old man patted his grandson on the shoulder and said, "Perhaps this is fate. But what do you plan to do?"

The man said with a determined look in his eyes, "Grandpa, I don't want to miss out on her. I want to pursue her and make her my girlfriend."

The old man patted the man on the shoulder again and encouraged him, "Good grandson, go for it bravely! I really like this girl; she's very kind."

"Yes, Grandpa, I'll do my best to win her over."

"Okay, Grandpa will always support you."

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

The grandmother and granddaughter were chatting away when Xiao Qianqian and the others came out of the tent. They were planning to go to the river to see the villagers releasing water.

When Old Liu saw them come out, he gave his grandson a wink and quickly followed them.

Liu Yichen saw the girl walk towards the river and quickly followed her.

He caught up with Xiao Qianqian: "Miss Xiao, I heard from them that you were the one who discovered the root cause of this poisoning. You're really amazing."

"Mr. Liu, you flatter me. I just happened to find it."

"No matter what, you were the one who ultimately discovered and solved it, and I admire you for that," Liu Yichen said sincerely.

Xiao Qianqian smiled and shook her head, "This is all thanks to everyone, I dare not take credit for it."

The two chatted as they walked, the atmosphere relaxed. Liu Yichen took the opportunity to probe, "Miss Xiao, I wonder if you remember, five years ago, in Songshan, you saved someone."

"Five years ago, let me think... oh, I remember now, there was such a thing. I remember that time I went on a training trip with my master, and I went up the mountain to collect herbs. I think I unintentionally saved a man who had been bitten by a poisonous snake."

"By the way, how did you know?" Xiao Qianqian finally realized that something was wrong.

"Miss Xiao, look at me again. Do you remember?"

Xiao Qianqian stared at him for a long time, feeling a sense of familiarity; "You're that man?"

"Yes, I am that man."

"I'm sorry, you were covered in dirt and grime at the time, so I didn't remember your face very clearly, but you seemed vaguely familiar."

"It's alright, as long as I remember you."

"At that time, my master and I were just traveling around that area when we happened to encounter you, who was injured."

"Without you, I might be dead, Miss Xiao. You are my savior."

"It was nothing, don't make it sound so serious."

"It may be insignificant to you, but it's very important to me."

"I thought you lived nearby, so I sent many people to look for you, but we couldn't find you. It turns out you were just traveling around that area."

"Yes, in previous years, my master would take me on trips to various places every year. I've been to almost all the high mountains in China, and I remember very clearly what medicinal herbs are on each mountain."

"No wonder Miss Xiao's medical skills are so excellent."

"I never imagined you were Expert Liu's grandson. How did you end up in such a sorry state?"

"Well, it's a long story. Back then, there was an internal strife in my family, and I was being chased by them. I barely managed to escape to the deep mountains, but then I encountered a poisonous snake there and almost lost my life."

Hearing such a familiar plot, Xiao Qianqian was both amused and exasperated. Wasn't Ah Sen just a victim of a family feud who was chased to the mountains? And that shameless man had even become attached to her ever since.

"It seems there's a lot more to life in wealthy families than meets the eye," Xiao Qianqian couldn't help but remark.

"That's right, but thankfully I pulled through. Now I've taken over the family business, and I've dealt with those people."

"It seems you haven't had an easy time these past few years."

"I'm used to all the fighting."

"By the way, Miss Xiao, where are you living now?"

"I guess you could say I'm living in the capital now."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, my husband is from Beijing, so I moved here with him. Before, I lived in the mountains with my master."

"You got married?" Liu Yichen was so shocked by the news that his voice cracked. His love story hadn't even begun, and it was already over.

"Yes, is it strange that I'm married?"

"No, I just thought you looked quite young, Miss Xiao. Why are you getting married so early?"

"I'm not young anymore, I'm already 21."

"That's still quite young. Aren't highly capable people like you getting married quite late these days?"

"Yeah?"

"Yes, many of the successful women in our company got married very late, and some didn't get married at all."

"Oh, maybe it's because I'm different from them."

Looking at the girl beside him, Liu Yichen wanted to say, "You are different from them. You are more stunning than them." He began to envy the man who married her.

"May I ask who Miss Xiao's husband is?"

"His surname is Ye? You might even know him."

"The surname Ye. In the capital, there's only one family with the surname Ye, a very large and powerful clan. I wonder if Miss Xiao is referring to that family."

"Um."

"So your husband is... Ye Bosen?"

"Um."

Liu Yichen took a deep breath, secretly shocked. He could try to snatch other men, but this man would be harder than climbing to heaven to take a woman away from him. This man was powerful and ruthless. He had never dealt with him before, but after returning from abroad, he had learned about the situation in China and investigated those powerful families.

This man is a formidable competitor. He has considerable talent in business, and his business empire is expanding rapidly, with involvement in many fields.

He never expected that the girl he loved would marry him. Was it really true that they were not meant to be?

He glanced at the girl beside him; she was aloof and elegant, not particularly beautiful, but she was very attractive to him.

When did you get married?

"Not long ago, just last month," the girl next to her replied casually, her eyes still watching the villagers busy at work, occasionally speaking up.

Hearing this answer made Liu Yichen even more heartbroken. Had he really missed his chance? The girl he held in his heart was just a little too late. If he had found her sooner, would she be marrying him now?
