I want to marry someone like him

Ye Fan walked out of the shop and immediately drew a crowd. The onlookers did not dare get too brazen, though, only pointing at him on the sly and muttering things like "hitting a woman."

"Young Master Ye! Young Master Ye!" Qian Yu hurried after Ye Fan.

Ye Fan glanced at Qian Yu. "Need something?"

Jiang Hailin had been gathering medicinal herbs to nourish his body over the past few days, and word had naturally reached Qian Yu. Under Qian Yu's relentless questioning, Jiang Hailin had no choice but to admit that his lifespan would be shortened. This had frightened Qian Yu badly. Ye Fan had said that the ghostly energy clinging to him was stronger than Jiang Hailin's, which meant he must have lost even more years of his life.

"Can I use the prescription you gave Hailin?" Qian Yu asked.

"Sure!" Ye Fan said.

Qian Yu looked at Ye Fan. "Young Master Ye, how much of my lifespan do you think I've lost?"

Ye Fan patted Qian Yu's shoulder. "Relax. Only about six months. It's just six months-it'll pass in the blink of an eye." Back in his previous life, the Golden Core cultivators in his sect would spend years in seclusion at a time.

Qian Yu: "..."

"Young Master Ye, drinking that medicinal broth should help me live longer, right? Or could you write me a higher-grade prescription? Money's no object."

Ye Fan thought for a moment. "Just use the one I gave Jiang Hailin. Your body's too weak to handle anything higher-grade. And rein in your sex life for now."

Qian Yu nodded. "Yes, yes, of course. Whatever you say."

"I saw you just now... showing off your might."

Ye Fan planted his hands on his hips. "That clueless fool wouldn't know what I was capable of unless I hit her."

He, Ye Fan, had been a renowned figure in the Jade Cloud Sect. Even though he could not cultivate, the sect's disciples had always treated him respectfully to his face. Yet some wretched girl had actually dared accuse him of stealing money. How dare that woman trample on Young Master Ye's dignity like that? It was infuriating.

Qian Yu: "..." Rumor had it that Young Master Ye Fan was a spineless loser. Clearly, rumors were all lies.

"Whatever the circumstances, hitting a woman is never a good thing."

"If she hadn't been such a bitch, who would've wanted to hit her?" Ye Fan said carelessly.

Qian Yu: "..."

Qian Yu and Ye Fan strolled along Medicinal Herb Street.

Several young heirs from wealthy families emerged, clustered around a young man dressed in white.

Ye Fan suddenly stopped. Looking at the young man in white, who stood head and shoulders above the crowd, he asked in all seriousness, "Who's that?"

"That's Bai Yunxi, the young master of the Bai Family. He has a powerful background. You don't want to mess with him," Qian Yu said solemnly.

Ye Fan blinked, looking rather excited. "He's so good-looking! I want to marry someone like him."

Qian Yu stared at Ye Fan, his face contorting. "Young Master Ye, I have a weak heart. Please don't scare me like that..."

Qian Yu still had some clout in Cang City, but in Capital City, he was a nobody. Bai Yunxi was a prominent figure even among Capital City's Crown Prince Party. When Bai Yunxi came to Capital City, even Qian Yu's grandfather had to attend to him with the utmost respect.

Bai Yunxi was a genius who had skipped grades throughout his childhood. Though only eighteen, he had already returned from abroad with a doctorate. He also owned the Morning and Evening Group and had an astonishing net worth.

Ye Fan glanced at Qian Yu. "Why would it scare you that I want to marry someone like him?"

Qian Yu: "...Because Young Master Bai doesn't like people like you."

Ye Fan tilted his head. "Why not? I'm handsome, dashing, and exceptionally clever. I can come up with a hundred plans in a single step."

Qian Yu: "..." Young Master Ye, do you have any idea how terrible your reputation is? A womanizer, an unambitious wastrel-and now you can add bullying your younger sister to the list!

"Young Master Bai likes people with money and ability," Qian Yu said.

Ye Fan looked a little puzzled. "What counts as having money?"

"A net worth of at least tens of billions."

"What counts as having ability?" Ye Fan asked.

"Someone who can take an enemy commander's head amid an army as easily as reaching into his own pocket, and fight ten thousand men single-handedly," Qian Yu said, making it up off the top of his head.

Ye Fan nodded. "Understood."

Qian Yu: "..."

Ye Fan kept staring in Bai Yunxi's direction. As though sensing something, Bai Yunxi glanced his way, and Ye Fan waved at him excitedly.

Watching Ye Fan behave like a lovestruck fool, Qian Yu felt heat rush up from the soles of his feet, and his face turned bright red. What a disaster! Ye Fan might not feel embarrassed, but he certainly did. Suddenly, Qian Yu thought Ye Fan's old, gloomy demeanor had actually been rather nice.

Bai Yunxi smiled and asked the person beside him, "Who's that goofball?"

"I'm not really sure." Liao He, who was accompanying Bai Yunxi, was too embarrassed to tell him that this was Liao Tingting's former fiancé.

"Never mind."

Bai Yunxi got into his car and drove off.

Ye Fan tilted his head and declared smugly, "He's interested in me."

Qian Yu looked at Ye Fan and said rather reluctantly, "Young Master Ye, what makes you think Young Master Bai is interested in you?"

"He just smiled at me. Didn't you see?" Ye Fan asked, utterly puzzled.

Qian Yu: "..." If Ye Fan had not successfully exorcised the ghost haunting Song Bohui, he would have wanted to send him straight to a psychiatric hospital. What was wrong with this guy?

"Young Master Ye, it's getting late, and Young Master Bai has left. Why don't I treat you to a meal?" Qian Yu composed himself and put on a smile.

Ye Fan nodded. "Sure! I recently found a pretty good restaurant. We can eat there."

"What restaurant?" Qian Yu asked with interest.

"Lanzhou Beef Noodles."

Qian Yu: "..." Was Ye Fan trying to save him money? Although paying ten million on Song Bohui's behalf had left him a little strapped for cash lately, he could still afford to treat him to a lavish meal.
