This made her respect this man a little. She decided to treat him properly.

“I hope you’ll keep your word. I saved your life, so you have to become the Song family’s backer,” she mumbled. She couldn’t help them for nothing.

Yan Cheng’s tightly shut eyes moved slightly. This was the first time someone dared to say their motive so bluntly. This woman was really bold.

Then, he recalled the few times they had met. It seemed like this woman never knew what fear was.

His lips tugged gently as he opened his eyes and said, “You saved me. I can give you everything you want.”

Song Jiaren had only complained a little and didn’t expect to receive a response. She smiled awkwardly and continued her actions.

She pulled out the belt that was wrapped around his waist, and his clothes were instantly untied. Under the man’s baffled gaze, she turned the belt over. There were silver needles inside. Yan Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. This was the first time he had seen someone place something like a silver needle on his waist.

As the silver needles entered his body one by one, Yan Cheng’s complexion visibly improved.

He was a little surprised. He did not expect her to really have the ability to treat his illness. This was something that many medical experts were helpless about.

Song Jiaren, who knew what he was thinking at a glance, mocked, “Are you regretting not using my medicine back then? How much does the person who poisoned you hate you? This kind of poison gets more and more painful in the later stages. It can kill you.”

Yan Cheng recalled the past and his eyes turned cold. “He’s just a dead person.”

Song Jiaren was shocked, but then she felt that it was only natural. How could such a man allow the person who poisoned him to live?

She stopped talking and finally managed to control the poison after two hours. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face. This body was too fat, causing her to sweat a lot. It seemed that she had to speed up her weight loss.

She left the room and let Wen Qing in.

After a while, Yan Cheng came out in a wheelchair after packing up. He was back to how he was when they first met, as if that dispirited and irritable man was just an illusion.

Song Jiaren glanced at him and said, “I should go back.”

Yan Cheng nodded and said politely, “Wen Qing, send Miss Song back.”

Seeing that he was quite gentle, Song Jiaren thought for a while and still instructed, “Your poison has already spread to your heart. If the poison relapses again, you will die within an hour.”

This wasn’t just to scare him. The poison in his body was strong to begin with, and it was already very rare for him to be able to persist for so long.

Wen Qing’s expression tightened, and he immediately said, “Then please stay at the Yan Household for a while, Miss Song.”

Song Jiaren, who had already reached the door, froze. She turned back to look at Yan Cheng. He looked at her with a smile on his lips and didn’t say anything, but his meaning was very obvious.

Song Jiaren, who wished she could slap herself, gritted her teeth and said, “It’s not appropriate for an unmarried woman like me to stay here. I’m afraid it will affect my reputation.”

Yan Cheng smiled. “You don’t have to worry about that. After all, my reputation isn’t very good.”

The corners of Song Jiaren’s mouth twitched. Both of their reputations didn’t seem to be very good. Furthermore, when she glanced at her lowered head and legs that couldn’t be seen, she felt discouraged. It seemed that with her appearance, she wouldn’t be misunderstood.

Yan Cheng’s smile widened a little. He felt that it wasn’t a bad idea to keep this woman by his side. It had nothing to do with the poison in his body. It was just that this woman seemed to exceed his expectations every time. He saw a flash of remorse, hatred, helplessness, and resignation on Song Jiaren’s face. This was the first time he saw so many expressions on a person.

Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to leave, Song Jiaren once again despised herself for speaking out of turn earlier. She gave Song Meiyu a call and lied that she was going to stay at her friend’s house for two days. Only after settling things with Song Meiyu did she heave a sigh of relief.

Time flew by. Song Jiaren had been at the Yan Household for a month. During that time, Yan City had another relapse. Fortunately, he was saved in time and his life was not in danger.

The more she understood, the more alarmed Song Jiaren became. This man was really scary. The poison had clearly flared up, but he was still able to talk to her calmly.. He was someone who could be so ruthless to himself, so no wonder the people outside had such high valuations of him.
