Chapter 181 What do you want to do?
Qin Ke’s reaction immediately made Zhong Min very confused. Wasn’t she just eating her meal peacefully? Why did he suddenly ask her if she was okay?
"It's okay. I'm just eating." She swallowed the food in her mouth and said in confusion, "Brother Qin, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so weird and ask such a strange question?"
"Min'er, are you really not feeling well?" Qin Ke ignored Zhong Min's question, still staring at her intently, and asked again, "Are you feeling nauseous or wanting to vomit?"
Zhong Min was even more puzzled by these words. They also made her feel nauseous and nauseous. It sounded so awkward that it couldn't be more awkward. She shook her head woodenly, not thinking much about it, and said jokingly, "I'm not pregnant, why would I feel nauseous and nauseous?"
However, the joke she thought was humorous did not ease Qin Ke's strange expression at all. Instead, he even frowned and stopped talking.
At this point, Zhong Min was in no mood to eat anymore. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, suppressed her previously carefree smile, and asked seriously, "Brother Qin, what's going on?"
"It's okay, I just suddenly felt a little worried about you. I was overthinking it. Let's eat." Qin Ke saw that Zhong Min seemed to be really fine, so his expression finally looked a little normal. As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and seemed to concentrate on eating.
"No, you have to explain it clearly, otherwise I will feel so uncomfortable that I won't be able to eat." Seeing this, Zhong Min simply reached out and snatched the bowl and chopsticks from Qin Ke's hand, preventing him from avoiding the question.
Seeing that Zhong Min was determined to find out, Qin Ke sighed and said, "It's nothing. I was just startled when I saw you eating eggs. Since you're fine, it's natural to take care of it."
"What's so scary about eating eggs?" Zhong Min was even more puzzled. Could it be that Li Jin'er never ate eggs before?
"So, as soon as you eat eggs, you immediately feel nauseous, want to vomit, and have things growing all over your body. You feel uncomfortable. The doctor said it's a problem with each person's physical constitution. Some people are born with an inability to eat eggs, and this happens as soon as they eat them." Qin Ke smiled, obviously relieved. "Now it seems that you should be fine."
Hearing this, Zhong Min was stunned for a moment. According to Qin Ke, it seemed that Li Jiner was allergic to eggs. This was strange. Although she was not Li Jiner, her body was still similar to hers. She didn't expect that she was much luckier than her.
"Really? I really don't remember, but there's no problem eating eggs now." Zhong Min's voice was a little lower than before, and he still sounded a little lacking in confidence.
Fortunately, Qin Ke didn't dwell on it and patiently said, "The doctor said earlier that this problem is incurable. Some people may have it their whole lives, but it's also possible that it will gradually get better on its own. I think your constitution has changed. That's good. You don't have to worry about any problems from accidentally eating something made with eggs in the future."
Hearing this, Zhong Min couldn't help but glance at Qin Ke, and a wave of discomfort suddenly washed over her. She responded symbolically, then didn't ask any more questions and quietly ate her meal.
In the past, the people she hated the most were liars, but now she is more hateful than any liar and has to keep deceiving the man who loves Li Jiner unconditionally.
She had thought about telling Qin Ke that she wasn't Li Jin'er, but what if Qin Ke asked where Li Jin'er had been? Given Qin Ke's madness for love, if he really believed her, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be. Obviously, the impact of such a heavy love was definitely something she couldn't bear.
The next morning, Zhong Min asked Xiao Wu to go to Muzi Teahouse to deliver a message. She was afraid that Zi Yan would be worried if she couldn't find them when she returned, so she asked Xiao Wu to give a simple reminder in the way she had told Zi Yan before.
Chu'er's injury was much better than yesterday, but Qin Ke said she needed at least six or seven days of rest to fully recover. Xi'er also understood what had happened yesterday and was terrified. She quickly thanked Qin Ke and lamented that Zhong Min was lucky to be alright.
The only regret is that Ruyi is truly missing this time. Last night, while Xiaowu was waiting for Xier, he quietly entered the courtyard over there, but still couldn't find Ruyi. For everyone's safety, Zhong Min didn't send anyone out to look for her. I just hope the little guy can find enough food on his own and be safe. After all, no one would have bad intentions towards a cat.
"Sir, how about I go over there and look for it quietly? Maybe Ruyi has already gone back." Xiao Wu knew that Zhong Min liked the cat very much, because the cat was brought back by the prince himself as a gift to Zhong Min, so he didn't want to give up so quickly.
"Yeah, why don't we let Xiaowu go look for her and be careful. She shouldn't be in any danger." Xier quickly agreed. Apart from Zhong Min, she had the deepest relationship with Ruyi. Usually, when Zhong Min was not around, Ruyi would stick to her.
Hearing them say this, Zhong Min was also tempted. Well, he decided to try again. If he still couldn't find her, then Ruyi would just have to take good care of herself. "Okay, Xiaowu, go look for her again. Remember, be careful."
"Yes!" Xiaowu happily agreed when he heard it, looked at Xier, and quickly ran to find Ruyi.
Qin Ke naturally didn't know what the Ruyi they were talking about was, but it was obviously not a human. Given Zhong Min's current personality, if it were a human, she would have been extremely anxious and would not have just left it alone.
"Ruyi is a cat that the young master has raised for a long time." Xier knew Qin Ke definitely didn't know, so she took advantage of Zhong Min's inattention and quietly told Qin Ke, "The prince personally sent someone to bring Ruyi back from the capital as a gift to the young master. I heard there's a story behind it. The young master loves Ruyi and plays with her all day long."
Xier obviously didn't know what happened between Qin Ke and Li Jiner. Not only Xier didn't know, but even the other people here didn't know. They only knew that Qin Ke was entrusted by the prince to protect Zhong Min together with them, and Xier only knew that Qin Ke seemed to have known Zhong Min before.
After hearing Xier's words, Qin Ke didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but look at Zhong Min who was talking to Xianger over there, and felt an indescribable pain in his heart again.
This time, Xiao Wu came back soon, but still did not find Ruyi. There was also a letter in his hand, which seemed to be for Zhong Min.
"Sir, we still haven't found Ruyi, but I did find this letter on the table in the main room." He handed the letter to Zhong Min and said, "I've checked it. There's nothing wrong with it. Feel free to open it and examine it."
Seeing this, Zhong Min took it, but saw that the envelope was written with "Min'er personally addressed". She had seen that handwriting before, and it should be the same as the one on the calligraphy and paintings hanging in Ning Zhiyuan's study that day.
Is it Ning Zhiyuan? She couldn't help but frown, but without much hesitation, she opened the envelope, took out the letter from inside and began to read.
"What's the matter?" Qin Ke saw that Zhong Min looked a little strange, and immediately began to guess what was written in the letter and who left it.
Zhong Min didn't say anything, but handed the letter to Qin Ke and motioned him to read it himself.
Qin Ke took it and quickly began to read. It didn't say much, just that someone had stumbled upon a cat, and if Zhong Min wanted it back, she was to go to the Juyuan Restaurant, the largest in Beijing, at noon today. He didn't think much of the rest of it, and since there was no title, it was more like a small note than a letter.
"Do you know who wrote this?" Qin Ke had seen Zhong Min's expression before, and it seemed that he already knew who left the letter.
Zhong Min nodded. "It's Ning Zhiyuan. I've seen his calligraphy in his study before. But how did Ruyi end up in his hands?"
"That's not important. What's important is what he wants to do by asking you to go today." Qin Ke shook his head: "Forget it, I'll go for you. This person is too cunning. It's better for you to have less contact with him."
"That's fine. I'll go by myself. You don't know him. If I don't go this time, he'll definitely have other ways to get me to go." Zhong Min said, "I think he must have something else on his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such trouble. If Brother Qin is worried, you can come with me later. After all, he didn't say I can go alone."
Seeing this, Qin Ke said no more and nodded in agreement.
The Juyuan Restaurant is one of the largest restaurants in Beijing, and its consumption is also very high. Although Ning Zhiyuan said last time that he would treat her to a meal, Zhong Min naturally knew that it was not a simple meal. And Ruyi actually ran into Ning Zhiyuan's hands quietly without anyone noticing, which made Zhong Min want to find out the reason behind it.
After arriving at the place, Qin Ke did not follow him in. He just handed Zhong Min a delicate whistle and told him to blow it immediately if anything happened. Zhong Min nodded, carefully put the whistle away, and then turned and walked into the Juyuan Building.
As soon as he entered, a waiter came up to him and said flatteringly, "Sir, are you Master Wuyou?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Min was once again impressed by Ning Zhiyuan. He was truly remarkable; he even knew her code name, which was only used to attract attention at the time. She nodded and didn't say much, simply acknowledging her identity.
Upon hearing this, the waiter's smile shone even brighter. He quickly bowed and said, "Please come in, sir. The Prime Minister has been waiting for you in the private room upstairs. I will show you the way!"
