Although Xie Fengsheng is not known for his martial arts skills, as a member of the Xie family, he was trained from a young age.
Although he didn't dare to use his full strength, his punches still landed squarely, and he and Gu Yingzhi were instantly locked in a fierce struggle.
Two people who once considered each other friends and brothers are now fighting each other hand to hand, their bodies locked in a fierce battle.
For a moment, all that could be seen was the fluttering of clothes.
They fought for an unknown amount of time, until they were exhausted. Both of them had bruises on their faces and bodies, and they sat on the ground, panting heavily.
They all tacitly avoided touching anything in the clinic, not even breaking a teacup.
After venting his anger, Gu Yingzhi has calmed down considerably. He looks at Xie Fengsheng with his eyes regaining their former composure.
"Tell me! What do you want in return for giving her to me?"
Xie Fengsheng was speechless. Even after the fight, Gu Yingzhi still wouldn't let the matter rest.
His lip was cut and his face was swollen, making it difficult for him to speak. He could only prop his face up with his hand and say, "Your Highness, haven't you ever considered that even without me, Doctor Yan... Doctor Li might not accept you?"
"She won't!"
Gu Yingzhi said angrily, "She was married before and had an illegitimate child with someone else! Then she accepted you, so why can't she accept me?"
When he mentioned the word "bastard child," a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, making Xie Fengsheng tremble with fear.
Xie Fengsheng was even more speechless, thinking that Gu Yingzhi really did become stupid whenever it came to Yanyan.
Those children look so much like him, how could he not tell at all?
Fearing he might do something even more outrageous, Xie Fengsheng subtly reminded him, "Your Highness, have you considered the ages of Doctor Li's three children?"
"Why should I, this king, be involved with her and others...?"
Gu Yingzhi stopped mid-sentence.
Four years ago!
Those children looked to be around three years old!
Gu Yingzhi suddenly became nervous. The gloom in his eyes disappeared, replaced by the joy of becoming a father for the first time.
"Brother Xie! You mean those three children are my children?"
Xie Fengsheng nodded slightly.
During the time he spent with Yanyan, he discovered that she never mentioned her deceased husband, and the children never mentioned their biological father either, as if that man had never existed!
If that man is Gu Yingzhi, then everything makes sense!
Although Xie Fengsheng desired Li Yunyan, he didn't want her years of hard work raising the child to end up being misunderstood by the prince. After all, the prince was capable of anything when he went mad!
He was afraid that if he did something irreversible, Yanyan wouldn't be able to handle it.
Gu Yingzhi was overjoyed and stood up, wanting to rush to the backyard, but Xie Fengsheng stopped him again.
"Thank you, Fengsheng! I'm sparing your life out of consideration for our years of friendship. Don't push your luck!"
"Your Highness! You are emotionally unstable right now. You saw Doctor Li's condition just now! Can you give her some time to calm down?"
Xie Fengsheng always manages to accurately persuade people to their core beliefs.
Gu Yingzhi recalled the slap she had given him earlier, the look in her eyes filled with deep disgust, and he still found it hard to face her now.
He misspoke just now and made her angry again.
Gu Yingzhi stopped in her tracks, closed her eyes, and clenched her fists tightly.
He was certain that she would accept him!
If one year isn't enough, try ten; if ten years isn't enough, try twenty; if twenty years isn't enough, try a lifetime!
One day, she will accept him!

The next day, Li Yunyan's clinic was closed.
She was having Xiangxia pack her luggage.
She genuinely had no idea that Xie Fengsheng and Gu Yingzhi knew each other! Judging from their demeanor, they probably had a close relationship before.
She had no intention of getting caught between the two of them. Besides, given Gu Yingzhi's crazy nature, if she insisted on being with Xie Fengsheng, she might harm him!
That's enough!
If you can't afford to offend her, can't you at least avoid her?
At midnight, a carriage quietly drove out of the back door of Ruyan Medical Clinic.
All three children were asleep. Li Yunyan placed them on the soft couch and sat on the outermost side to prevent them from falling off.
The carriage stopped moving after only a short while.
Li Yunyan lifted the carriage curtain in confusion, and Xiangxia's body collapsed.
She looked up and saw Gu Yingzhi's face.
His eyes were dark, and he asked in a cold tone, "Yanyan, where are you going?"
"Xiangxia!" Li Yunyan immediately checked her pulse. Fortunately, she was only unconscious.
Li Yunyan hadn't expected him to be spying on her! Her plan had been exposed, and she was in a terrible mood.
Where I go is none of your business.
Gu Yingzhi braced himself against the carriage door. "Yanyan, if you wanted to run away with my child, you should have informed me, the father!"
The three children all looked so much like him that Li Yunyan knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she stopped trying.
"Now that you know, can you let us go?"
Gu Yingzhi raised his hand and touched her face, which looked especially beautiful in the moonlight. He leaned close to her ear and said, "Yanyan, I've come to take you and the child home!"
Then, with a long stride, he stepped into the carriage, pulled Li Yunyan into his arms, and called out to the outside, "Five Swords, back to the villa!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"I don't want to go! Let me go!"
Li Yunyan struggled violently. If it weren't for the child still being there, she really wanted to drug him unconscious and then run away alone.
