"Sister Qingwan, what happened?"
After Ye Qingwan hung up the phone, Xiao Mengyi quickly asked.
Qin Chuan also looked over.
With tears in her eyes, Ye Qingwan said, "My father was assassinated, he’s been shot, and now he’s being resuscitated in the hospital."
As she spoke, the tears in her eyes slipped down her cheeks, her face full of worry and fear.
Qin Chuan frowned, it seemed that the injury was extremely serious; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been a matter of resuscitation.
"Qin Chuan, I need to go back to Yandu right now. During this time, please take care of Xiao Rou for me."
Wiping away her tears, Ye Qingwan looked at Qin Chuan with bloodshot eyes and said.
Qin Chuan nodded, "Go with ease, I’ll take care of Xiao Rou!"
Having said that, he took out a white porcelain bottle and handed it to Ye Qingwan, "This is a Minor Rejuvenation Pill. As long as the person is still breathing, it can extend their life by three days."
At these words, Ye Qingwan was suddenly overjoyed and said excitedly, "Are there actually elixirs in this world with such miraculous effects?"
Knowing that Qin Chuan was a high-level elixir master, she naturally did not doubt his words. Since Qin Chuan said so, it must be true.
Qin Chuan nodded slightly and seriously reminded, "Do not take this elixir unless it’s absolutely necessary. Once taken, inform me immediately, and I will hurry to save your father."
Ye Qingwan was momentarily stunned. Qin Chuan had clearly told her that this elixir could extend a dying person’s life by three days, but why did she need to inform him after taking it?
Seeing the confusion in Ye Qingwan’s eyes, Qin Chuan explained, "The effects of the Minor Rejuvenation Pill are extremely domineering. If it is taken by a martial artist below the King Realm and the effects are not fully dispelled from the body within three days, the person will explode and die!"
Ye Qingwan shivered all over and quickly said, "I understand. If my father takes this pill, I will contact you immediately!"
Her face was full of gratitude, and she silently noted this kindness in her heart.
She did not know what level the Minor Rejuvenation Pill was, but she was very clear that a pill that only a King Realm Strong could take was definitely a rare treasure.
Moreover, she also knew that Qin Chuan was always reluctant to set foot in Yandu, even the head of the Murong Family, one of the Nine Gates of Yandu, had to go to Jiangcheng City himself to seek Qin Chuan’s help.
Just now, however, Qin Chuan had said that if her father took the Minor Rejuvenation Pill, she should contact him immediately, and he would rush to Yandu to save him.
"Qin Chuan, I cannot thank you enough for such a great kindness. If there’s ever anything you need from me in the future, just say the word, I would not hesitate even if it means death!"
Ye Qingwan said earnestly, then turned and left without any hesitation.
"We should also head back to Jiangcheng City."
Ye Qingwan left the East Sea with Granny Wu, while Qin Chuan and Xiao Mengyi, along with Xiao Rou, returned to Jiangcheng City.
On the way back to Jiangcheng City, Xiao Rou’s face was filled with excitement. Although she was temporarily separated from her mother, the thought of living with her father for the following days made her very happy.
As they were about to reach Qin Chuan’s new home in Tianfu Number One in Jiangcheng City, Xiao Rou suddenly said with a look of anticipation, "Daddy, can we live together with Mommy when she comes back?"
"Ah?"
This sudden question somewhat flustered Qin Chuan.
The reason he had contact with Xiao Rou as her father was only because she was the daughter of Zhao Hongling, but he had never considered living together with this little girl.
Let alone living together with Ye Qingwan.
Xiao Mengyi, sitting beside Qin Chuan, was also stunned for a moment. Seeing the expectant look on Xiao Rou’s face, her eyes slightly reddened.
She already knew Xiao Rou’s identity and truly felt sorry for the little girl who had lost her biological parents at a young age.
She subconsciously placed her hands gently on her belly, suddenly filled with worries about the future of the little life inside her.
She knew that Xiao Rou’s biological mother held a significant place in Qin Chuan’s heart, and she also knew that Song Yan, the Jiangcheng City’s richest family’s daughter, had a far from simple relationship with Qin Chuan.
Besides, there was also Murong Mingyue from one of the Nine Gates of Yandu, the Murong Family, who harbored inexplicable feelings for Qin Chuan.
Even Ye Qingwan, who had just parted from them, had eyes filled with adoration whenever she looked at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan might not be aware, but as a woman, she was very sensitive and quite certain her feelings were not mistaken.
Of course, she did not deny Qin Chuan’s excellence. Could she really handle being with such an outstanding man?
Although she was anxious, she also realized a fact—that in this lifetime, she could no longer live without Qin Chuan.
Xiao Mengyi suddenly spoke up, "Qin Chuan, just agree to Xiao Rou’s request!"
Hearing Xiao Mengyi’s words, Qin Chuan immediately had a bitter expression. He had not yet figured out how to respond without letting the little girl down, and now Xiao Mengyi was directly asking him to agree. Wasn’t this nonsense?
"Xiao Rou, Daddy and Mommy are not married, so we can’t live together," Qin Chuan said softly.
Xiao Rou blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Then Dad and Mom should get married! Then we can live together."
Qin Chuan’s eyes widened. How could this girl be so quick to respond?
He suddenly regretted pretending to be Xiao Rou’s father. If only he had known, he would have acknowledged Xiao Rou as his goddaughter.
"Dad, don’t you like Xiao Rou anymore? Don’t you want Xiao Rou anymore?"
The little girl suddenly pouted her lips, her eyes brimming with tears, about to cry.
Qin Chuan immediately panicked, saying hastily, "How could Daddy not want Xiao Rou? It’s just that..."
"Just what?"
Xiao Mengyi was somewhat annoyed, giving Qin Chuan a glare.
She hugged Xiao Rou, her face tender as she said, "Daddy likes Xiao Rou the most. He won’t leave you."
"When Mommy comes back, Xiao Rou can come to find Daddy with Mommy, okay?"
Xiao Rou’s face brightened up immediately, nodding her little head energetically, "Aunt Xiao is the best. Not only is she as pretty as Mommy, but she also loves Xiao Rou more than Daddy does."
Qin Chuan’s eyes widened. This girl really knew what to say. Had she just been won over by Xiao Mengyi’s words?
Qin Chuan was just about to say something when Xiao Mengyi shot him a warning glance, "We’ll talk when Sister Qingwan comes back. Let Xiao Rou be happy for these few days."
Qin Chuan gave a wry smile and did not speak further.
Meanwhile, at the Black Dragon Building in Jiangcheng City, in the Chairman’s Office at the top floor.
Hua Xiong rushed in, his face full of urgency, "Chairman, our people have sent word that Qin Chuan has returned!"
Zhang Longwang, sitting at the desk, his eyes lit up as he gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard finally dares to come back. I would like to see who can save him this time!"
"Notify our men to prepare to take action against the Song Family at any moment!"
"Also, inform Master Liao that he can make his move now. As long as he kills that bastard, the promised reward will be doubled!"
"Tonight, let’s erase the Song Family completely!"
Hua Xiong’s face was full of excitement; he had been waiting a long time for his revenge, and today he could finally have his wish.
