"Do you really want to sever ties with me that badly?" Ye Qichi asked weakly.
Right now, his physical condition was indeed very poor.
This time, for Xiao Jinxing, he truly suffered a great loss of vitality!
"I’m giving you a chance to benefit from me!" Xiao Jinxing said coldly.
The two of them never seemed to be on the same page.
"Do you want to make it up to me so badly because you’re afraid of owing me something you can’t bear in your heart?" Ye Qichi said indifferently, "In fact, it’s not just towards you, I would do the same for anyone else."
As a doctor, to save lives and heal wounds is my duty.
Xiao Jinxing obviously didn’t believe it, and he bluntly said, "Ye Qichi, stop beating around the bush, just tell me what you really want, and I’ll try... to satisfy you!"
Ye Qichi was getting a bit impatient.
And the word "try" probably meant, don’t go too far.
Such as becoming the Princess or something...
Ye Qichi said speechlessly, "Just don’t go back on your word and get fat from it."
"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing was angry.
Clearly, he was angered.
This guy really has some nerve.
Not wanting to take any advantages, yet forcing others to give them. Isn’t that so?!
Since when was Xiao Jinxing so generous?!
She said, "Must I make a request?"
Xiao Jinxing’s face was stern.
This is no way to treat a life-saving benefactor.
Ye Qichi sighed softly, "Previously, didn’t you agree to give me ten thousand liang of Gold?"
Xiao Jinxing’s brows slightly furrowed.
"Another ten thousand liang... How about that?" Ye Qichi asked.
She couldn’t think of any other benefit she could get from Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing’s face visibly changed again.
He turned as black as Bao Gong.
So Xiao Jinxing is just stingy.
"Is that all the ambition you have?!" Xiao Jinxing said through gritted teeth.
If he isn’t killed by the plague, one day he’ll be angered to death by Ye Qichi.
"Can it be increased further?!" Ye Qichi asked tentatively.
Could it be that Xiao Jinxing thinks she has set the price too low, offending his dignity?
"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing exploded with anger, "Are you doing this on purpose?!"
What is she doing on purpose?!
"One year later, we don’t have to get divorced!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly said word by word.
Ye Qichi looked at Xiao Jinxing.
How could they not divorce?
If they don’t get divorced, how can she roam the world as a doctor, leading a carefree life?!
This guy can’t be joking, can he?!
Furthermore, it’s not in a year.
They would be divorced in less than half a year!
They had agreed, not to break their promise and indulge.
This guy could change his mind so casually!
"I can offer you the position of a concubine," Xiao Jinxing said.
With a rather loud voice.
It was a posture of not wanting to back down in front of Ye Qichi.
It was as if he was bestowing a great favor upon her.
She didn’t even want to be the main wife, would she be overwhelmed with gratitude for being a concubine?!
Who does this man think he is?!
Are women supposed to live just clinging to men?!
Apparently, in ancient times, women indeed took pride in their husbands, but she was not of ancient times.
Why should she live like an ancient person?
With countless thoughts in Ye Qichi’s mind, she tried to stay calm and said, "Would your Miss Bai not mind?"
Deciding to take a step back to advance.
With men like Xiao Jinxing, one shouldn’t confront him directly.
"I will explain it well to her," Xiao Jinxing stated plainly.
Seeing his demeanor, he seemed to have made up his mind.
"No need," Ye Qichi said, "Bai Mowan defied the King of Chu by refusing his marriage proposal, all because she wanted to be with you. Yet, to repay a debt of gratitude, you’re entangled with another woman. If I were Bai Mowan, I too would find it unacceptable."
Xiao Jinxing’s brows furrowed slightly.
Could this woman be too kind-hearted?
"To avoid conflict between you two, we should still get divorced. If you really feel sorry for me, you can give me more Silver Taels, I’m greedy for money," Ye Qichi said frankly.
Xiao Jinxing’s face sank again.
"Let’s forget about the concubine thing," Ye Qichi smiled with a bit of irony.
It wasn’t because she felt Xiao Jinxing was insulting her.
With Xiao Jinxing’s upbringing, a woman lives for a man, and not being abandoned by a man is already the greatest grace; being a concubine is far better than being kicked out of the house. Although it is indeed humiliating, for Xiao Jinxing at the moment, that is the greatest favor he could bestow.
But after all, she is no ordinary woman.
Her upbringing and education from childhood do not allow her to share a man with other women or even vie for his favor. Accidentally traveling to this era, being alone was actually her best arrangement! Of course, the main point is, she really doesn’t think she could ever fall for anyone again.
