nThis pharmacy had many kinds of medical ingredients, and they weren’t cheap.

n

n

nSupposedly, this shop had many connections. As long as one could afford to pay, a hundred-year-old ginseng would be available.

n

n

nXia Xibei didn’t need a century-old ginseng, she only needed some common medicinal supplies.

n

n

nThere were not too many people in the pharmacy, and the clerk was relatively leisurely.

n

n

nXia Xibei stepped forward and passed a piece of paper.

n

n

n“I want these medicinal ingredients. Please pack them separately.”

n

n

nThese medicinal supplies needed to be boiled, and the boiling times were different, so they had to be packed separately.

n

n

n“OK.”

n

n

nThe shop clerk nodded and began packing the medicinal supplies.

n

n

nXia Xibe was bored and began to look around.

n

n

nSoon, her gaze met with that of a tall man.

n

n

nWhen the person saw her, he was obviously taken aback, and then he stared at her for a while.

n

n

nThere was no malice in his eyes, so Xia Xibei didn’t feel offended, but she was very puzzled as she didn’t know him.

n

n

nAfter a while, the man seemed to recognize her, but instead of coming forward, he quickly walked inside.

n

n

n‘What’s going on?’

n

n

nXia Xibei was confused, but she didn’t go after the man to ask.

n

n

nThe clerk continued to grab the medicinal supplies, and she focused again on the medicine.

n

n

nShe grabbed a bunch of the medicinal supplies and smelled them, then she nodded.

n

n

nThe supplies here were indeed authentic; they had aged enough.

n

n

nThe effect would be better this way.

n

n

nAfter a while, Xia Xibei suddenly felt a numbing sensation on her back. She couldn’t help turning around.

n

n

nWhen she recognized the person, she couldn’t help widening her eyes.

n

n

n‘—Qiao Yanjue?!’

n

n

nWhat was he doing here?!

n

n

nThe man from earlier was standing next to Qiao Yanjue.

n

n

nSo the man was Qiao Yanjue’s subordinate.

n

n

nApparently, they had looked her up!

n

n

nThinking of this, she looked at Qiao Yanjue with an expression of impatience and disgust.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue just watched this girl’s expression change again and again.

n

n

nFrom surprise, to impatience, to disgust, and then finally calm.

n

n

nIf it weren’t for her reaction just now, Qiao Yanjue would have thought she didn’t recognize him!

n

n

nHe couldn’t help but think of what he had found out before.

n

n

nXia Xibei was practically an orphan, her life was difficult, and she had never left this place.

n

n

nHowever, she seemed to know him.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue had been injured and was a little sluggish, but he could still feel the change in Xia Xibei’s attitude.

n

n

nThis was very strange.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue admitted that it was the first time to visit this place, and he had always been low-key, so not many people knew his identity.

n

n

nSo, how did this Xia Xibei girl know who he was?

n

n

nAnyway, this girl had really changed a lot!

n

n

nHer looks didn’t change; she was still pretty, but she made one feel very different.

n

n

nAlthough dressed in just a simple T-shirt and jeans, she was very confident. He could not see her timidity as found in the private investigation.

n

n

n‘Interesting, very interesting!’

n

n

nUnlike Qiao Yanjue’s interest, Xia Xibei couldn’t help rolling her eyes in her mind.

n

n

nWhy did Qiao Yanjue show up here?

n

n

nIt had just been a few days. Was his injury healed? So he could go out and play now?

n

n

nRegardless of what he thought, Xia Xibei decided to act as if she did not know him.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue saw Xia Xibei turning around and giving him her back.

n

n

nHe was surprised. This little girl had quite a personality!

n

n

nThinking of what she said before, “I won’t see you again,” Qiao Yanjue’s mouth turned up in a smile, then he strode forward.

n

n

nAs soon as he got next to her, she glanced at him and moved aside.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue was stunned, so he immediately moved over too.

n

n

nXia Xibei moved again.

n

n

nHe followed again.

n

n

n“Uncle, what are you doing? Harassing me?” Xia Xibei was unwilling.

n

n
