nChapter 35

nHowever, his pulse was steady and strong.

nOther than being a little excited, Fu Shiyan was just fine.

nChi Wei frowned. With a stern expression, she said, “Remember to get a check-up later.”

n“Your taste buds are out of order. It is very likely that you’ll collapse soon. If you get treatment on time, you can be cured. However, if it’s too late… it will be life-threatening.”

nAlmost instantly, the charming atmosphere completely dissipated.

nFu Shiyan slightly lowered his eyes. His gaze landed on Chi Wei’s fair fingers that were resting on his wrist.

nThe warmness of her fingertips set his heart ablaze.

nUnfortunately, it did not last long.

nChi Wei had always been very accommodating with her patients. When she saw that Fu Shiyan was frozen and speechless, she paused for a while before saying, “Little Yan, don’t be afraid.”

n“I will check up on you as often as I can.”

n“…”

nAfter saying a few comforting words and instructing Fu Shiyan to go to the hospital, Chi Wei pushed the office door open.

nShe remembered that there was a rather large tea shop around the area.

nChi Wei wanted to buy a few boxes of tea. She had always loved drinking tea.

nPerhaps it was because she had been influenced by a bunch of old people. After all, she had been working with them ever since she was young.

nHowever, her favorite type of tea was extremely rare. Her subordinates had searched all over the place, but they only managed to get their hands on a small amount. Chi Wei had never seen that specific tea again after she had previously finished them.

nUnexpectedly, it was available at the tea shop.

nChi Wei immediately took the bag of tea leaves without any hesitation.

nJust as she was about to make a payment at the counter, a hand suddenly reached out to her from behind.

nThe person snatched the bag of tea leaves from her without any explanation. Her voice was a little old and coarse, but there was a hint of nobility in it.

n“I’ll be taking this.”

nShe promptly put the bag of tea leaves on the counter and signaled the boss without any shame.

nHer voice sounded quite familiar.

nChi Wei lifted her eyelids and stared at the old figure.

nShe looked very familiar as well.

nHowever, Chi Wei rarely remembered anyone unless they left a deep impression on her or if she cared about them. Her mind was filled with all kinds of knowledge and theories. There was no room for irrelevant people.

nIn fact, it was the other person who reacted first after they locked eyes. She seemed shocked but only for a brief moment.

n‘This vulgar young girl had not been educated properly. That’s why she’s loitering around here.’

n“I want this bag of tea leaves. I assume you have no objections?”

nIf she knew what was good for her, she would agree obediently.

nIt was only natural for youngsters to be humble and respect their elders.

nChi Wei blinked her eyes and finally remembered.

nThe person in front of her, who had a full head of white hair, was none other than Old Madam Chi. She was the matron of the Chi family. Since she had been in the Chi family for many years, she had quite a high status. All the servants had to listen to her orders.

n“This…”

nThe owner of the tea shop was an impartial person. Naturally, he knew what had happened.

n“But this young girl took the bag of tea leaves first. You just snatched…”

n“What do you mean I snatched it from her?”

nThe old lady cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

nThen, she paused for a moment and laughed.

n“Being filial to your elders is to be expected. You don’t mind, right?”

n“…”

nThe little girl tilted her head and blinked her eyes.

nIn a serious tone, she said, “I didn’t mind at first, but now I do.”
