Chapter 349: 348, find it as sweet as candy Chapter 349: 348, find it as sweet as candy Song Yan Ning saw Ye Shuangshuang looking at her and blinked, “Her injury hasn’t fully healed yet.”
Fang Jingxing nodded and looked at Ye Shuangshuang with concern, “If your injury hasn’t healed, why run out and take risks? What if something happened?” He had wanted to visit Shuangshuang the day he learned of her injury, but he had been abroad. To rush back to see Shuangshuang, he canceled the cooperation case he was negotiating and booked the fastest flight back.
As soon as he boarded the plane and was about to turn off his phone, he received a call from Ye Qi, suggesting they meet up. He calculated the time and arranged for today. As the flight attendant urged him to turn off his phone, he didn’t have time to ask Ye Qi about Shuangshuang’s situation. He planned to ask Ye Qi today and visit her first thing tomorrow, not expecting her to also come today.
“I’m fine. Besides, what do I have to fear with Xiao Ning here? With her medical skill, how could anything go wrong?” Ye Shuangshuang flashed a mischievous smile at Fang Jingxing. She was now more certain than ever that what Xiao Ning said was true.
Fang Jingxing nodded, “If you feel unwell, let me know. I’ll take you to the guest room upstairs to rest.” This club was owned by the Fang Family, and he had a private room here.
“Mhm,” Ye Shuangshuang nodded obediently.
Fang Jingxing reached out and ruffled Ye Shuangshuang’s hair, “That’s my smart girl!”
Ye Shuangshuang rolled her eyes at Fang Jingxing, feeling immensely sweet inside!
“Are you a doctor?” Zhou Mengjie asked Song Yan Ning. Being a nurse, she most admired doctors. Song Yan Ning, who seemed young, already possessed medical skills, which was really impressive.
Song Yan Ning took a bite of a watermelon that Qin Yushen had passed to her, and on hearing Zhou Mengjie’s question, nodded slightly, “Sort of.” Her medical skill was no less than that of other doctors, but since she didn’t have a medical license, she wasn’t officially a doctor.
“Hmm?” Zhou Mengjie looked at Song Yan Ning, not understanding.
“I haven’t taken the medical licensing exam yet,” Song Yan Ning explained. She wasn’t interested in the license and hadn’t planned to take the exam.
“Why not? Being a doctor is great.” Zhou Mengjie also wanted to be a doctor, but her grades weren’t good enough for Medical University, so she opted to become a nurse.
“I’m too young,” Song Yan Ning said, laughing.
“Oh!” Zhou Mengjie nodded understandingly.
“Yushen, will you stay in Beijing this time?” Fang Jingxing asked. Since Yushen had moved to Yang City, he seldom returned. Every time they tried to call him during gatherings, his phone was either unreachable or he was unavailable. Song Yan Ning was about to have her summer vacation, so Yushen should be staying in Beijing for a while, right?
“I’ll leave in a couple of days,” Qin Yushen said. Xiao Ning had to go back for exams, and he needed to accompany her.
“Yushen, you’re definitely going to be henpecked if you get married,” Fang Jingxing sighed with a somewhat resigned tone.
“Already am,” Ye Qi and Qu Lingfeng chimed in, laughing together.
Qin Yushen gazed at Song Yan Ning with tender, deep eyes, “I am blessed by it.” Marrying Xiao Ning was fortune he had cultivated over three lifetimes.
“You’re beyond help,” Fang Jingxing and the others looked at Qin Yushen with disdain.
Ye Shuangshuang, Song Yanli, and Zhou Mengjie all looked at Song Yan Ning enviously. They too hoped their partners would care for and cherish them as much as Qin Yushen did Son Yan Ning.
Under the night sky, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen walked along the street, the streetlights cast their twin shadows, elongating and eventually merging together.
“Xiao Ning,” Qin Yushen looked down at Song Yan Ning. He really enjoyed walking with her.
“Hmm?” Song Yan Ning looked up at Qin Yushen.
Qin Yushen smiled lightly, “I really want to marry you right now.” He was eager to embrace the feeling of being henpecked.
“I am still young,” Song Yan Ning teased, glancing at Qin Yushen.
Qin Yushen stopped walking and reached out to embrace Song Yan Ning, “Tell me about your past?” He was genuinely curious about Xiao Ning’s previous life.
Song Yan Ning thought for a moment before slowly speaking, “I was originally a Young Prince from the Demon World. During a rebellion by the Dragon Clan, I was severely injured by the Third Prince. To save me, my parents asked Elder Mie Yu to take my Primordial Soul to this world and Seal my cultivation. I had thought that as my cultivation improved, I could return to the Demon World, but I discovered that the path to the Demon World was sealed, and now I can’t open it.” She was really worried about her parents and elder brother, unsure of their current condition.
Qin Yushen tightened his embrace, “When the Seal breaks, I will accompany you back to the Demon World.” No matter how powerful Xiao Ning’s enemies were, he would protect her and help her seek vengeance.
“Mhm!” Song Yan Ning nodded. She didn’t know when she could return to the Demon World.
“Xiao Ning, want to hear my story?” Qin Yushen asked softly. He had always wanted to share his story with Xiao Ning but never found the right opportunity.
“Sure!” Song Yan Ning nodded.
“In my last life, I woke up as a good-for-nothing young master of a family. To become stronger, I desperately searched for ways to cultivate. By chance, I acquired a book of the Nine-Star Mysterious Skill. I left my family and traveled around searching for cultivation resources. After many life-and-death experiences, I finally reached the Immortal Venerate Stage. Perhaps it was my fame, or perhaps it was the treasures I had acquired, but they attracted others’ covetousness. I was besieged by five Immortal Venerables. Although I killed them, I was also at the end of my strength. When I woke up again, I found myself in this world.”
“Were you also a soul in your previous life?” Song Yan Ning asked, puzzled. Qin Yushen had mentioned waking up, which typically implied soul transmigration.
Qin Yushen nodded, “In my life before that, I only have some fragmented memories. I don’t know how I perished.” His memories from that life were sporadic. In those fragments, he often stood under a pear tree, staring blankly at it.
“Perhaps in your life before last you were also a powerful being. Perhaps you lost a loved one or were betrayed by one, leading to your melancholic disposition and the decision to seal your own memories,” Song Yan Ning jested. That’s what happened in TV dramas, right? Perhaps it was the same for Qin Yushen.
Qin Yushen lowered his head, kissing Song Yan Ning on the lips, “If I had a loved one, it would definitely be you, and I believe you would never betray me.” The first time he saw Xiao Ning, a fragment flashed in his mind, though it was too fleeting to grasp.
“If I really betrayed you, what would you do?” Song Yan Ning asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she looked at Qin Yushen.
“I would sentence you to stay by my side for eternity, never allowing you to leave me,” Qin Yushen lowered his head again… Even if she betrayed him, he wouldn’t let her go.
