nXia Xibei fell silent in the face of Qiao Yanjue’s query.

n

n

nShe spoke eventually, her voice sounding slightly downhearted.

n

n

n“The debt and owing between us have been cleared.”

n

n

nShe did save him, but she took his knife and lighter in turn. That was enough.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue’s face turned cold. “So you’re saying that my life is only worth a knife and a lighter?”

n

n

nHe couldn’t bear with it, even if he wasn’t a narcissistic man!

n

n

nXia Xibei: “…”

n

n

nXia Xibei did not speak a word, but everyone knew what she meant from the way she behaved.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue wasn’t sure how he should react anymore.

n

n

nHaving lived for more than twenty years, this was the very first time he was given a cold shoulder!

n

n

nWas his life that worthless?

n

n

n“Alright, the previous matter is over and done with. What about this time?” He took in a deep breath before asking.

n

n

n“This time?” Xia Xibei looked at him, surprised. She was clueless about what he meant.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue rolled up his shirt, exposing his flat belly and the wound on it from which blood was seeping out.

n

n

n“My wound cracked open when I carried you inside just now. What do you think?”

n

n

nHuo Zijun’s lips twitched. Even if the wound cracked open again indeed, it wouldn’t be that serious, rightwas it?

n

n

nHowever, he did not speak up as he watched the drama with great interest instead.

n

n

nHe was thinking to himself, he was definitely going to share this incident when he met with the others later.

n

n

nThis side of Qiao Yanjue was far too rare!

n

n

nAlthough he kept a straight face, Huo Zijun could see that he was going crazy.

n

n

nXia Xibei looked at Qiao Yanjue’s wound and said with a frown, “I’ll prescribe you with some medicines, you’ll be alright very soon.”

n

n

nOnce he got well, there would be no more interaction between them.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue heard the overtone of her words, and the fire of anger burned even more vigorously in him.

n

n

n“Is your gratitude that cheap?”

n

n

n“When I saved your life back then, I didn’t ask for a lot in return!” Xia Xibei replied unhappily.

n

n

n“You made the request yourself. Now that I helped you, my request is different from yours.”

n

n

nXia Xibei’s face darkened;, she began doubting Qiao Yanjue’s identity again.

n

n

nThis surely wasn’t the Master Jue whom everyone revered! How was he so petty!

n

n

n“What do you want then?” She asked with her teeth gritted.

n

n

n“I just want you to remember that you owe me once.”

n

n

nQiao Yanjue finally smiled when he saw her attitude soften.

n

n

n“I don’t have money!” Xia Xibei blurted out with a dark face.

n

n

n“That’s fine, I have money, I don’t need you to give me money.”

n

n

nLooking at Qiao Yanjue’s smile, she had to fight back the urge to toss the pants in her hand at him!

n

n

nHow could he be so shameless?!

n

n

nHuo Zijun, who was watching the drama at the side, coughed softly, breaking off the heated confrontation between them.

n

n

nHe looked over at Xia Xibei. “You said that you were going to prescribe him with medicines, what medicines do you think should be used then? He’s going back in a few days; it is best if he could make a full recovery before that.”

n

n

n“Going back?” Xia Xibei’s eyes lit up. “In a few days’ time?”

n

n

nQiao Yanjue’s cheerful mood dipped down once again when he saw how excited she looked.

n

n

nWas she happy because he was leaving?

n

n

nHe felt his own hands itch. He wanted to squeeze her face so bad, so he didn’t have to see her annoying look of excitement.

n

n

nHuo Zijun noticed Xia Xibei’s repulsion toward Qiao Yanjue as well. He coughed a few times and concealed the smile on his lips.

n

n

nOnly then did he speak, “He could stay here up to a week at most?”

n

n

nA week?

n

n

nXia Xibei’s eyes grew even brighter.

n

n

nQiao Yanjue felt even gloomier. .

n

n

nHe was bewildered. What kind of love and hate did he have with this little girl that made her so reluctant to be with him?

n

n

n“He could make a full recovery in one week if there aren’t any unforeseen circumstances.”

n

n

nLuckily, Xia Xibei remembered what was most important.
