Ye Nanqing took the medicine from Ji Fuling and looked at her with a questioning gaze.

"This is allergy medication. Take it now, three tablets at a time."

Ji Fuling had a sincere expression that said, "This medicine is real, I won't poison you."

Ye Nanqing glanced at her thoughtfully, then took out three pills as she instructed, and swallowed them directly.

As soon as Uncle Qi finished his call, Grandpa Ye anxiously asked, "Qi, how did it go? When will the doctor arrive?"

"It will take at least twenty minutes..."

"There's no need to call the doctor. I've already taken my medicine and I'm fine."

Uncle Qi was interrupted by Ye Nanqing halfway through his sentence.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Ye turned his gaze and, sure enough, saw the medicine in Ye Nanqing's hand. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "You brat, you had medicine on you but didn't say so earlier. Did you want to scare this old man to death?"

Ye Nanqing raised an eyebrow and looked at Ji Fuling.

Ji Fuling quickly shook her head, signaling him not to say anything.

She's not allergic to peanuts, yet she carries medication with her; it's hard to explain if you tell her.

After all, she doesn't want her three children to be exposed to the public yet.

Seeing that she didn't want anyone to know, Ye Nanqing said nothing and simply put the remaining medicine into his suit pocket.

Ye Yunhong and Li Fangshu exchanged glances, their eyes filled with the same resentment.

I never expected Ye Nanqing to be so cautious; he even carried medicine with him!

The meal ended abruptly due to the unexpected situation.

Old Master Ye ordered a thorough investigation into the issue of peanuts being added to the steamed egg custard, plunging the entire Ye family into a state of tension.

Since the host had something to attend to, it was naturally inconvenient for the guests to stay any longer.

After a brief farewell, Ji Fuling and Ji Xiangzhong helped the old man walk out, one on each side.

Ji Xinqi and her daughter followed behind, falling far behind.

Coming out of the house, He Wenxiu saw her beloved daughter looking sullen and in a bad mood. She comforted her with heartache, "Qiqi, don't be sad. If we can't marry into the Ye family, we can marry into other wealthy families."

Ji Xinqi was not comforted at all; instead, she exploded like a powder keg.

She rolled her eyes at He Wenxiu. "Mom, what's wrong with your brain? In Yuncheng, which wealthy family can compare to the Ye family?"

"Besides, I've been planning this marriage for five whole years, and now it's been ruined. How can I accept this?!"

He Wenxiu frowned. "Of course I know you're unwilling, but now that the engagement is off, what can you do even if you're unwilling?"

Ji Xinqi gritted her teeth in resentment, "I don't care, I must marry into the Ye family. If I can't marry Ye Yunhong, I'll marry Ye Nanqing!"

Upon hearing this, He Wenxiu's eyes widened in astonishment. "Qiqi, are you kidding me? Ye Nanqing is not the same as Ye Yunhong, and you were just jilted by Ye Yunhong. Do you think Ye Nanqing would even look at you?"

As she spoke, He Wenxiu reached out to touch her daughter's forehead to see if her head was flushed from the stimulation.

Ji Xinqi slapped her hand away and said irritably, "Mom! Can't you say something nice? So what if the engagement was broken off? Ji Fuling was also broken off with before, but she still managed to seduce Ye Nanqing. If I don't make a move, Ye Nanqing will be hers!"

"Or do you think even I'm inferior to that bitch Ji Fuling?"

Upon hearing this, He Wenxiu surprisingly found it to make some sense.

During dinner, Ye Nanqing sat down next to Ji Fuling in front of everyone, and the two frequently looked at each other and whispered to each other.

It's obvious that Ji Fuling is actively seducing him!

If Ji Fuling can do it, why can't her precious daughter?

Thinking this, He Wenxiu smiled and took Ji Xinqi's hand, "Nonsense, my precious daughter is of course the best. How can that little bitch Ji Fuling compare to you? No matter what you do, Mom will support you."

Just as Ji Xinqi's unpleasant expression improved slightly, she saw her new target, Ye Nanqing, stride out of the house and walk straight towards Ji Fuling without even glancing at her.

She was so angry that she jumped up and down again.

At this moment, Ji Fuling was helping Grandpa Ji walk towards the car.

Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her arm from behind.

She paused, turned around, and saw that it was Ye Nanqing who had grabbed her. She couldn't help but look puzzled. "Uncle, is something the matter?"

"Come with me, I'll take you home."

After saying this concisely, Ye Nanqing looked at Old Master Ji and said, "Don't worry, Old Master Ji, I will definitely get her safely."

His tone wasn't sharp, but it still carried an undeniable forcefulness.

Grandpa Ji could naturally see that Ye Nanqing's attitude towards his granddaughter was a bit special.

He had always admired Ye Nanqing; in every aspect, Ye Nanqing was far superior to Ye Yunhong.

If it weren't for the fact that Ye Nanqing was always abroad and that he was from a different generation than Fuling, he would have chosen Ye Nanqing as Fuling's marriage partner instead of Ye Yunhong.

But now that I think about it, the difference in generations doesn't really matter. What matters is that two people are in love...

Thinking of this, Grandpa Ji nodded slightly, "Alright, then I'll entrust the Poria cocos to you."

Ji Fuling: "..."

Grandpa, you should ask for my opinion first!

Before Ji Fuling could speak, Ye Nanqing had already grabbed her arm and led her toward his car.

The car door opened, and Ji Fuling was shoved into the passenger seat.

With a "what's done is done" attitude, she leaned back in her chair and fastened her seatbelt.

Ye Nanqing sat in the driver's seat, but didn't rush to drive.

He turned his head to look at Ji Fuling, his dark eyes unfathomable. "You've inquired about me privately?"

"ha??"

Ji Fuling looked completely bewildered.

Why did this man suddenly say something like that out of the blue?

Although she had indeed heard some rumors about him, that didn't count as inquiring, did it?

Ye Nanqing thought she was pretending, and a playful smile crept onto his thin lips. He said slowly, "Isn't it because you inquired about me and knew I'm allergic to peanuts, so you specially carried allergy medication with you, so you could take it out at a crucial moment and make me..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!!"

As he continued speaking, Ji Fuling heard him getting more and more absurd, and quickly interrupted him.

Then, she explained earnestly, "Uncle, I think you've misunderstood. I carry allergy medication with me because Tian Tian is also allergic to peanuts, not because of you."

Ye Nanqing: "..."

What a coincidence?

Is the little girl allergic to peanuts too?

Wouldn't he be just being delusional?

The man, his expression stiff, looked away and started the car without a word.

Seeing his sudden change in expression, Ji Fuling tried her best to suppress her laughter.

A moment later, she turned to look out of the car and realized that the route seemed wrong. "Uncle, you've taken the wrong turn, haven't you? This isn't the way back to my place."

Ye Nanqing was driving when he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "I'm taking you somewhere."

Where to?

You'll know when you get there.

Ji Fuling pursed her lips, silently complaining to herself—

Acting mysterious!
