My Silly, Sweet Wife

Li Ruoxuan, who had initially been skeptical of traditional Chinese medicine, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope rise in her heart. She said impulsively, ”If you can completely cure my brother’s illness, I’ll agree to any of your requests.”

”Any request?” Ye Guichen eyed Li Ruoxuan, his gaze tinged with amusement.

That glance made Li Ruoxuan feel as though her whole body had been exposed, and her cheeks reddened even more.

”Not interested.” Ye Guichen uttered three words, nearly making Li Ruoxuan want to jump up and hit him.

As Li Bao’s sister, she had an excellent figure and appearance. Over the years, countless men had pursued her, yet this guy said he wasn’t interested?

Is he even a man!

Just as Li Ruoxuan was fuming, Ye Guichen began to administer acupuncture again.

This time, however, his speed was noticeably faster.

Ye Guichen’s hands moved like illusions, mesmerizing Professor John and Li Ruoxuan.

In just a matter of seconds, Li Bao’s head was filled with silver needles, and his snoring grew even louder.

”Amazing, simply amazing! I can clearly feel his body starting to relax, and even his heartbeat is much stronger now.” Professor John’s eyes lit up, grabbing Ye Guichen’s arm just as he straightened: ”Young friend—no, Master, traditional Chinese medicine is truly miraculous. Can you teach me?”

Li Ruoxuan staggered upon hearing this, nearly falling.

”Professor John, haven’t you always been skeptical of traditional Chinese medicine?” Li Ruoxuan’s breathing became rapid.

If Professor John were to apprentice under Ye Guichen, what would she be considered?

A pupil’s apprentice?

That would be too humiliating.

Professor John solemnly replied, ”No, no, no, Ruoxuan, all medicine ultimately connects. I doubted traditional Chinese medicine before because I’d never seen it achieve such wondrous effects.”

Then, he knelt before Ye Guichen with a thud: ”Master, please take me in. I was invited by the Huaxia medical community for an investigation, but now I’ve changed my mind. I want to follow you and learn traditional Chinese medicine.”

Ye Guichen was exasperated.

This old man is really persistent!

Several minutes later, Ye Guichen removed the needles, and Li Bao had fallen into a deep sleep.

Ye Guichen knew that staying longer would only mean being tortured by this foreign old man.

”He’ll sleep until eight o’clock tomorrow morning. Once he wakes up, he should be pretty much back to normal.” After seeing that Li Bao was generally fine, Ye Guichen hurriedly left the villa.

”Eight o’clock?” Li Ruoxuan was stunned. Could he really be so miraculous as to accurately predict my brother’s waking time?

Li Ruoxuan scoffed.

If he could predict that, he truly would be an Immortal.

”Master.” Professor John had no time to pay attention to Li Ruoxuan’s thoughts. After greeting her, he chased after Ye Guichen eagerly.

”Hey, Professor John, you’re a titan in the Western medical field. Can you stop pestering me?” Ye Guichen said helplessly.

John looked serious: ”No, Master, you are my idol now.”

”Can you please not call me Master?”

”Okay, Master, where are you going?”

”I said, don’t call me Master.”

”Alright, I won’t call you Master anymore, Master.”

Ye Guichen: ”…”

”By the way, Master, here’s my business card with my phone number. Can I have your phone number and address?” John tried to push a card into Ye Guichen’s hand, ”Don’t worry, I won’t bother you every day.”

Ye Guichen, afraid of being pestered further by John, reluctantly accepted the card and gave John Chen Ziran’s address.

What a thick-skinned old man.

So stubborn!

After finally getting rid of Professor John, Ye Guichen looked up and eyed a bar up ahead, its neon lights flickering.

At the bar’s entrance, men and women were engaging in rowdy, hormone-driven playful fights.

It was already past eight in the evening, and the streets were crowded, filled with the glitzy nightlife and indulgent people.

”I haven’t visited a bar in a long time.” Ye Guichen wasn’t particularly interested in bars, but such places were always chaotic, making them useful for picking up insider information.

Having been in Yun City for a few days, Ye Guichen still hadn’t made any progress regarding his origins. He decided to use this opportunity to look for any leads.

Taking a few steps forward, he glanced casually at a dark alley nearby, his lips curling into an almost imperceptible smile.

Several figures quickly darted into the alley.

”Damn, that kid doesn’t look tough at all. Why does Long Zixiang want to go through so much trouble for him?” The burly man tossed his cigarette butt on the ground, stomping on it fiercely.

Four or five other burly men, all equally dragon-tattooed and tiger-painted, followed him; they clearly looked like street thugs.

Beside the leading man was a skimpily dressed, provocatively styled woman.

”Brother Snake, after I lure him to the hotel, you guys need to show up promptly.” The woman flirted, deliberately snuggling up to Brother Snake: ”My heart belongs only to Brother Snake, I don’t want any other man touching me.”

”Haha, Taotao, you’re such a slut. Once the job is done, I’ll reward you handsomely.” Brother Snake squeezed her butt hard, urging: ”Hurry up, Long Zixiang is waiting for our update.”

”Brother Snake, just watch.” Taotao threw him a seductive glance, swaying her body enticingly as she moved toward the bar’s entrance.

The woman reached the bar entrance, only two or three steps away from Ye Guichen.

Suddenly, she sped up, pretended to stumble, and fell towards Ye Guichen, letting out a delicate cry: ”Oh...”
