Qin Wentian brought Xiao Fan to a separate courtyard within the Qin Family.
The place was filled with flowers and plants, clearly well cared for by its owner.
“Yun’er, it’s Grandpa. I’ve brought a young friend for you to meet.”
Qin Wentian knocked on the courtyard gate and called inside.
With a creak, the gate slowly opened.
An exceptionally beautiful woman came into view.
She was like a piece of elegant classical music.
Her figure was graceful, swaying like a willow in the wind. Dressed in a light moon-white cheongsam, she appeared refined and dignified.
Her brows were delicate like painted feathers, her skin white as snow, her waist slender, her teeth like pearls. It stirred the heart just to look at her.
Only her expression was slightly cold and indifferent.
There was even a hint of impatience.
“Grandpa, please stop introducing people to me. I don’t need it. Also, I’m not feeling well this morning. I need to rest, and I still have to go to the company in the afternoon.”
Qin Yun frowned. Her grandfather was always introducing so-called young talents to her, as if afraid she wouldn’t be able to get married.
Did she need to worry about that? If Qin Yun announced she wanted to marry, countless people would break down the Qin Family’s doors.
“Hello, Miss Qin. My name is Xiao Fan. I’m very pleased to meet you. I heard you’re not feeling well. Perhaps I can help. I have some knowledge of medicine and would be glad to assist you.”
Xiao Fan’s eyes nearly popped out when he saw Qin Yun, as if he wanted to glue himself to her.
Her gentle voice, combined with her appearance and figure, completely captivated him.
He immediately stepped forward like a peacock showing off its feathers. Since she said she was unwell, it was the perfect opportunity. He had studied medicine for many years and could use this chance to get closer to the Qin Family’s eldest young lady.
“Oh? You even know medicine? Yun’er, quickly let Xiao Fan take a look at you and treat you properly.”
Qin Wentian grew more satisfied with Xiao Fan. Talented in both literature and martial arts, and now even skilled in medicine. He seemed like a perfect match for Qin Yun.
“Grandpa, didn’t you hear him? He said he has ‘some knowledge,’ which means he doesn’t really know much. I understand my own body, so there’s no need to worry.”
Qin Yun noticed Xiao Fan’s invasive gaze and felt immediately uncomfortable. He was no different from the others.
And since it was that time of the month, her mood was already irritable.
So her tone was far from polite.
“Young friend, don’t mind her. My granddaughter has always been like this, neither warm nor cold to anyone.”
Qin Wentian quickly stepped in to smooth things over, not wanting Xiao Fan, whom he was so pleased with, to feel embarrassed.
Xiao Fan didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he looked even more interested.
“Hahaha, Elder Qin, it’s no matter. I truly admire Miss Qin’s personality. Her reserved nature has a unique charm that makes me want to understand her even more.”
Xiao Fan felt that a thorny rose like this was more interesting to conquer.
Those who threw themselves at him didn’t interest him at all. The woman of the Dragon Gate Leader had to have her own personality.
“Miss Qin, I’ve devoted over ten years to studying medicine. I wouldn’t dare say I’m unmatched in the world, but I can be considered first-class domestically. If you don’t believe me, why not let me try?”
Why hasn’t she taken the bait yet?
“No need. I’ll just go inside and rest.”
Qin Yun couldn’t be bothered with him. Already in a bad mood because of her condition, being stared at so directly early in the morning only made it worse.
Just as she was about to close the door, a hand suddenly reached out and blocked it.
“Miss Qin, I’m only concerned about your health. Why not let me try?”
Xiao Fan forced a gentle and refined smile onto his face, wondering why she was so cold.
“Mr. Xiao, do you not understand Chinese, or do you not understand human speech? I said no. Let go of the door.”
Qin Yun’s impatience was obvious. If her grandfather hadn’t been standing outside, she would have already cursed him.
“Heh, then Miss Qin, please take care of your health. I’ll be staying at the Qin Family for a while. If you feel unwell, you can—”
Xiao Fan tried to maintain his smile and say a few more words, but before he could finish—
Bang!
The loud slam of the door made it clear just how unhappy the owner of the courtyard was.
“Young friend… don’t mind it. Yun’er, she…”
Qin Wentian looked embarrassed. Even when Qin Yun disliked someone before, she would politely decline. Why was she so irritable today?
“Elder Qin, it’s fine. Miss Qin must be unwell, which is why her mood is so poor. What a pity. I had hoped to take her pulse and see if I could help.”
Xiao Fan appeared magnanimous and regretful, making Qin Wentian admire his tolerance and politeness even more.
Little did he know, Xiao Fan was cursing furiously inside.
“Damn woman. I, Xiao Fan, personally offered, and she dares to shut me out? How many people would beg for me to take their pulse? But the wilder you are, the more I like it. That’s the challenge.”
“Young friend, why not come sit with me? You can also take my pulse and see how my health is.”
Qin Wentian warmly grabbed Xiao Fan’s hand, growing more and more satisfied with him.
Xiao Fan’s mouth twitched slightly as he tried to pull his hand back, only to find Qin Wentian holding it tightly.
“Hehe, since Elder Qin asks, I will naturally comply.”
You old man, you’d better not have strange tendencies.
“Hahaha, good! Young friend, let’s go and have a proper talk.”
Qin Wentian happily pulled Xiao Fan away from Qin Yun’s courtyard.
…
Lying on her bed, Qin Yun felt nauseated just thinking about Xiao Fan’s gaze and behavior.
That man had disgusted her at first sight.
It felt like he wore a false mask, but his eyes completely betrayed his true nature.
And yet such a person was staying in the Qin Family? What was her grandfather thinking?
Suddenly, another wave of abdominal pain struck, making her dislike Xiao Fan even more.
You simply shouldn’t provoke a woman during her period.
Ever since Xiao Fan had been beaten badly by Lin Ao, everything had gone wrong for him.
The aura of fate around him had been shattered significantly by that beating, becoming much weaker.
That was probably why Qin Yun’s attitude toward him had changed so drastically.
According to the original timeline, Xiao Fan had made a very good first impression on Qin Yun.
In her eyes, he had been a refined and elegant gentleman.
Humble, polite, sincere. Everyone in the Qin Family had a good impression of him.
If Lin Ao were here, he would probably be stunned again.
It had changed again. Completely changed.
Though things had deviated, it would definitely make him feel great.
Ah, Brother Fan, you have your day too?
You’re not cutting it anymore, Brother Fan!
