Yun Xi caught a glimpse of surprise in Jiang Qilin’s eyes. She chuckled.
“Previously, I was interested in virology, but now I’ve decided I want to try neurology.”
Of course she didn’t have the nerve to experiment with Jiang Qilin’s legs when she wasn’t sure of what she was doing.
She had no idea what was going on with his legs, so she didn’t dare to make any rash decisions or even give her opinion. After all, she knew better than anyone how painful it was to endure the blow of despair after having been given false hope.
Jing Yi, however, couldn’t bear it anymore. He glanced at Mu Feichi, and then at Yun Xi expectantly. “Miss Yun, I’ve heard that your medical skills are extremely good, so our Young Master’s legs…”
Before Jing Yi could finish speaking, Mu Feichi intervened, “She’s just a student, so please ask someone else to look at your Young Master’s legs. You’re asking her to bear the responsibility if something goes wrong.”
Yun Xi had become accustomed to Mu Feichi’s unreasonable ways a long time ago.
But this time, being so blunt in front of Jiang Qilin was really not very nice.
“Young Marshal…” Yun Xi couldn’t help but stretch out her hand to pull at the corner of his clothes while frowning and shaking her head at him.
Mu Feichi continued to glare at her with no respect for her dignity. “What? Do you actually want to try and cure him? What if it can’t be cured? Aren’t you going to be disappointing him after giving him some hope?”
“…” Did he have to be so blunt…?
He spoke without hesitation and usually didn’t bother to look at other people’s faces. He didn’t seem to take into account the fragile self-esteem of others.
Yun Xi glanced at Jiang Qilin awkwardly as she secretly pinched Mu Feichi’s arm. “Young Master Jiang, this man doesn’t know how to speak decently, so please don’t hold a grudge.”
“So now you think it’s necessary for you to defend me.” Mu Feichi glared at her. This girl didn’t know what she was talking about!
Mu Feichi was so used to getting his way in Jingdu, and even if someone had resentment toward him, they wouldn’t dare to express it.
Only Yun Xi had the nerve to ask forgiveness from others for his bluntness. If it had been anyone else who had dared to do that, they would have been terrified by his reaction.
“…” As expected, both Jing Yi and Jiang Qilin, hearing what Yun Xi had said, didn’t know how to answer.
For so many years, they had never heard of anyone who had dared to say something like that to the Young Marshal. Yet this girl had actually dared.
Yun Xi turned her head abruptly and glared at him. “Shut up!”
Her tone was serious but it also had an air of female coquettishness, so it wasn’t intimidating at all.
She said it without batting an eye. Perhaps it was because the two of them were so familiar with one another, they didn’t shy away from calling each other out in an intimate manner.
But!
Her reprimand seemed to have been very useful toward someone.
HUMPH! Mu Feichi snorted softly, turned his head away, and actually shut up obediently.
Jing Yi and Jiang Qilin looked dumbfounded. This was something that they were seeing for the first time. It was incredible that someone could make this nation’s proudest Young Marshal so obedient.
Now, if they still didn’t understand what was going on, they would be really blind.
After thinking things over for a moment, Yun Xi looked at Jiang Qilin seriously.
“Young Master Jiang, I don’t know the specific condition of your legs, so I can’t give you any advice, let alone make any promises. After all, as the Young Marshal said, I’m just a little girl so I can’t be reckless. I’m so sorry for behaving so brusquely toward you today.”
Her refusal and noncommittal stance were clearly expressed, so Jiang Qilin discreetly concealed the emotions in his eyes and smiled indifferently.
“It’s okay, it’s just a small matter. Don’t take it to heart.”
Yun Xi nodded and smiled politely. “We’re going to go into the front hall now. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
After saying that, Yun Xi pulled on Mu Feichi’s arm, turned around, and walked to the other side of the hallway.
