Brother Fan, You're Not Doing So Well!

Qin Wentian led Xiao Fan to a detached courtyard of the Qin Family.

It was planted full of flowers and grass, clearly well-tended by its owner with meticulous care.

"Yun'er~ it's Grandpa! I've brought a young friend for you to meet."

Qin Wentian walked up to the courtyard gate, knocked, and called out inside.

"Creak~~~"

The gate opened.

A stunning woman came into view.

The woman was like a beautiful piece of ancient music.

Her figure was graceful, swaying like a willow in the wind, and she was dressed in a moon-white qipao, appearing elegant and dignified.

Her brows were like emerald feathers, her skin like white snow, her waist slender as a silk ribbon, and her teeth like pearls; she was truly mesmerizing.

It was just that her expression seemed somewhat cold and indifferent.

She even appeared a bit impatient.

"Grandpa~ stop introducing people to me. I don't need it. Besides, I'm feeling a bit unwell this morning and need to rest; I still have to go to the company this afternoon."

Qin Yun frowned. Her grandfather was always introducing her to some "young talent," as if he were terrified she wouldn't be able to get married.

Did she really need to worry about marriage? If Qin Yun were to announce she wanted to marry, there was no telling how many people would trample the threshold of the Qin Family flat.

"Hello~ Miss Qin, my name is Xiao Fan. I'm very happy to meet you. I just heard you're feeling a bit unwell; perhaps I can help you. I know a thing or two about medicine and would be honored to serve you."

When Xiao Fan saw Qin Yun, his eyes nearly popped out of his head; he wished he could glue himself to her.

Having just heard Qin Yun's soft, gentle voice, combined with her attire and figure, Xiao Fan was utterly bewitched.

So, like a peacock spreading its tail, he immediately stepped forward to show off. She said she was unwell? Perfect. He had studied medicine for many years and could take this opportunity to get close to this eldest daughter of the Qin Family.

"Oh~ so my young friend knows medicine! Yun'er, hurry and let Xiao Fan take a look~ get yourself properly treated."

Qin Wentian was becoming more and more satisfied with Xiao Fan. He was cultured, skilled in martial arts, and now even knew medicine—he was a perfect match for Qin Yun.

"Grandpa~ didn't you hear him? He said he 'knows a thing or two,' which means he doesn't know anything. I know my own body, so there's no need to worry!"

Qin Yun noticed Xiao Fan's aggressive gaze and felt an immediate sense of discomfort; this man was no different from the others.

Coupled with the fact that it was that time of the month for her, her mood was even more irritable.

Because of this, Qin Yun didn't bother being polite.

"Don't mind him, young friend~ my granddaughter has always been like this, cold and indifferent to everyone."

Seeing the thorns in Qin Yun's words, Qin Wentian quickly stepped in to smooth things over; he couldn't let someone he was so satisfied with as Xiao Fan feel embarrassed!

Xiao Fan didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest; on the contrary, he was full of interest.

"Hahaha~ it's no trouble at all, Elder Qin. I truly admire Miss Qin's personality. Her reserve has a unique charm that makes me want to get to know her even more."

Xiao Fan felt that a rose with thorns like this was the best kind; it was only satisfying if you could conquer it.

He wouldn't even look at those women who threw themselves at him; the woman of the Dragon Gate master had to have her own character.

"Miss Qin, I have actually been immersed in medical research for over ten years. I wouldn't dare say I'm peerless, but I am at a top-tier level domestically. If you don't believe me, why not let me try?"

Is this little lady not taking the bait yet?

"No need, I'm just going inside to rest."

Qin Yun couldn't be bothered to deal with him. She was already in a foul mood because of her period, and having someone stare at her like that first thing in the morning—it would be a lie to say she wasn't annoyed.

Just as Qin Yun went to close the gate, a hand reached out and blocked her.

"Miss Qin, I'm only concerned for your health. Just let me try, how about it?"

Xiao Fan tried his best to put on a gentle, scholarly smile, thinking, This shouldn't be happening. Why is she so cold?

"Mr. Xiao, are you unable to understand Huaxia, or are you just unable to understand human speech? I said no, so it's no. Please remove your hand."

Qin Yun looked impatient. If her grandfather weren't standing right there, she would have started cursing.

"Hehe, well then, Miss Qin, please take care of your health. I will be staying at the Qin residence for a while; if you feel unwell, you can..."

Xiao Fan kept his smile, wanting to say something more, but he didn't even get to finish.

"BANG!"

A massive slamming of the door told the person outside exactly how unhappy the owner of the courtyard was.

"Young friend... don't mind her, Yun'er she..."

Qin Wentian was also embarrassed. In the past, no matter how much Qin Yun disliked the people he introduced, she would at least politely refuse. Why was she so volatile today?

"It's fine, Elder Qin. Miss Qin must be in a bad mood because she's feeling unwell. It's a pity; I really wanted to check her pulse and see if I could help her."

Xiao Fan wore an expression of magnanimity and regret, causing Qin Wentian to secretly admire his broad-mindedness and manners.

He had no idea that Xiao Fan was cursing up a storm in his heart.

Damn woman, I, Xiao Fan, personally offered, and you dare to shut me out? How many people would give anything for the privilege of having me take their pulse! But that's fine. The wilder you are, the more I love it! Now this is a challenge.

"Young friend, why not come sit at my place for a while? While you're at it, help me check my pulse and see how my health is holding up?"

Qin Wentian grabbed Xiao Fan's hand with an enthusiastic expression, becoming increasingly satisfied with him.

The corner of Xiao Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and he tried to pull his hand back, only to have it held firmly by Qin Wentian.

"Hehehe, since Elder Qin has commanded it, I shall certainly comply."

You old geezer, you'd better not be a closet pervert.

"Hahahaha! Good! Young friend, let us go and have a long, heart-to-heart talk."

Qin Wentian pulled Xiao Fan's hand and left Qin Yun's courtyard in high spirits.

Qin Yun lay on her bed, feeling a wave of nausea whenever she thought of Xiao Fan's gaze and behavior from just moments ago.

She had felt a sense of revulsion toward this person from the very first glance.

It felt as if Xiao Fan was wearing a hypocritical mask, and his eyes completely betrayed his true character.

How could such a person be allowed to stay at the Qin Family residence? What was Grandfather thinking?

Suddenly, a series of abdominal cramps struck her again, making her loathing for Xiao Fan grow even more intense.

A woman on her period is not to be trifled with.

Ever since Xiao Fan had been pinned to the ground and beaten by Lin Ao, everything had been going wrong for him.

The aura of the Heavenly Mandate on his body had been battered quite a bit by that wild thrashing from Lin Ao, becoming increasingly thin and weak.

It was likely for this reason that Qin Yun's attitude had undergone such a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change.

According to the previous timeline, the first impression Xiao Fan gave to Qin Yun had indeed been quite good.

In Qin Yun's eyes, Xiao Fan had been a refined and elegant young gentleman.

He was humble, polite, and sincere toward others, and everyone in the Qin Family had a very good impression of him.

If Lin Ao were present, he would surely be shocked to the point of dropping his spectacles.

It's gone off-track, it's gone off-track again, and it's gone off-track in such an outrageous way.

Although it's off-track, it feels so satisfying!

Hey! Brother Fan, so you have days like this too?

You're not doing so well, Brother Fan!
