“Furthermore, may I have a look at your affliction?”
Ye Fei wasted no time, speaking directly to Qin Lan and stating everything he wanted to say in one go.
*Swish! Swish!*
Ye Fei’s words made not only Qin Lan but also Qin Bing’s expressions change instantly.
“Brother-in-law…”
Qin Bing’s gaze fell upon Ye Fei, her eyes flickering.
Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but the words retreated back down her throat.
“There’s no need… my illness cannot be cured…”
Qin Lan’s expression softened slightly. It seemed that Ye Fei’s assessment of her had improved with his following statement.
“How do you know it can’t be cured if you don’t let me try?”
After Qin Lan finished speaking, Ye Fei countered.
Beside them, Qin Bing glanced at her sister, Qin Lan, before her gaze returned to Ye Fei.
She saw the confident look on Ye Fei’s face and couldn’t help but recall the medical skills he had displayed in Longhai.
Although she didn’t really believe Ye Fei could cure it, she held a sliver of hope.
Therefore, she took a deep breath, looked at Qin Lan, and directly said, “Sister, why don’t you let brother-in-law try to treat it…”
“You wicked girl, who allowed you to call him that!”
At this moment, Qin Lan’s gaze fell upon Qin Bing, and she reprimanded her sternly.
“Sister, it just rolls off the tongue… I can’t change it so quickly.”
Seeing Qin Lan’s anger, Qin Bing stuck out her tongue at her and retorted with a flimsy excuse.
Hearing this, Qin Lan originally intended to scold Qin Bing further, but seeing her demeanor, she swallowed the words that were about to be spoken.
Qin Lan understood her younger sister quite well.
She knew that no matter how much she scolded her now, it would be of little use.
“Miss Qin, what do you say?”
At this moment, Ye Fei’s gaze fell upon Qin Lan, and he spoke again.
“You’re not afraid that if I cure your illness, you won’t be able to break off the engagement, are you?”
Immediately after, Ye Fei spoke thus before Qin Lan could reply.
*Swish! Swish!*
Ye Fei’s words made Qin Lan’s face change instantly.
“That’s nonsense! It’s you who doesn’t want to break it off!”
Qin Lan became somewhat agitated and directly retorted angrily.
“Fine! Since you so boldly claim you can cure my affliction, what’s wrong with letting you try!”
After her words, Qin Lan immediately turned and headed towards her dwelling.
“Brother-in-law, amazing!”
At this moment, Qin Bing’s gaze fell upon Ye Fei, and she immediately gave him a thumbs-up.
Was Qin Bing foolish?
If Qin Bing wasn’t foolish, how could she not see that Ye Fei was intentionally provoking her sister, Qin Lan?
“Of course!”
Ye Fei looked at Qin Bing and immediately got carried away, becoming boastful.
“Tsk, you can’t handle a compliment!”
Qin Bing would have been fine if she hadn’t seen Ye Fei’s demeanor, but as soon as she saw it, she became disdainful.
After that, Ye Fei and Qin Bing didn’t waste any more words and directly headed inside.
“Is this how you intend to examine me?”
Once inside the room, Qin Lan stared at Ye Fei with a cold expression and spoke directly without any preamble.
“What kind of affliction do you have? And where is it located?”
Ye Fei glanced at Qin Lan and asked without further ado.
“Heh heh!”
If Ye Fei hadn’t asked that, Qin Lan would have burst into laughter on the spot.
“What are you laughing at?”
Ye Fei became displeased as soon as he saw her laughing.
Did he say something so funny?
“You don’t even know what illness I have just by looking at my face, yet you boldly claim you can cure it?”
Qin Lan’s gaze fell upon Ye Fei, and she retorted sarcastically.
“Uh…”
Ye Fei looked at Qin Lan, not expecting the woman to be so sharp-tongued.
Initially, Ye Fei wanted to offer a brief explanation, but the words didn’t leave his mouth. Seeing Qin Lan’s look, he stopped.
At this moment, Ye Fei knew he couldn’t explain!
Otherwise, this woman would likely only look down on him and mock him even more!
Damn it!
This hateful woman!
Ye Fei felt even more annoyed when he thought about it!
His medical skills were so superb, and back on the mountain, even the prominent figures from the capital had treated him with utmost respect, lining up to beg him for treatment!
But now, he was actively offering to treat Qin Lan, and she was questioning and disdainful.
“Alright, alright! In that case… I’ll have to diagnose you myself. Extend your right hand.”
Ye Fei glanced at Qin Lan. The woman was also looking at him, her face still full of disdain and mockery.
Therefore, Ye Fei decided not to explain any further!
It wasn’t that Ye Fei didn’t want to explain to her!
Ye Fei knew that no matter what he explained now, she wouldn’t believe him.
Rather than that, it would be better to use practical actions to prove it.
Hearing Ye Fei’s words, Qin Lan didn’t quibble and directly extended her right hand.
Ye Fei looked at her fair right arm and, without further ado, began to take her pulse.
Beside them, Qin Lan watched Ye Fei’s “pretentious” actions with a look of disdain and mockery!
She had been plagued by this illness and had sought out countless renowned physicians across China!
Yet, in the end, none could treat it!
Yes, no one could even diagnose it, let alone cure it!
And Ye Fei, this young man, boldly claimed he could cure it. What a braggart!
However, Qin Lan remained silent for the time being, waiting to humiliate Ye Fei later.
“Huh?”
As Qin Lan was lost in her thoughts and Qin Bing was holding her breath nervously, watching intently, Ye Fei let out a sound of surprise.
*Swish! Swish!*
After Ye Fei’s surprised exclamation, both Qin Bing and Qin Lan’s gazes snapped to him.
“Brother-in-law, what’s wrong? Did you find something?”
At this moment, Qin Bing’s gaze fell upon Ye Fei. Seeing that Ye Fei remained silent for a long time, she immediately asked nervously.
Hearing Qin Bing’s words, Ye Fei raised his head, glanced at her, and then shifted his gaze back to Qin Lan.
At this moment, Ye Fei noticed that Qin Lan was also looking at him.
Therefore, Ye Fei spoke with a somewhat grave expression, “Abnormal… too abnormal…”
“Sister, your condition is very unusual…”
Then, Ye Fei continued.
“Are you stating the obvious?”
If Ye Fei hadn’t said that, Qin Lan would have immediately mocked him.
“When the doctors examined me, they said I only had about three months to live. Do you think my condition could be normal?”
After speaking, Qin Lan stared intently at Ye Fei, awaiting his reply.
However, Ye Fei shook his head after glancing at her, saying, “No, no, no! Sister, you misunderstand me. When I say abnormal, I’m not referring to how much time you have left to live.”
“Then what is it?”
Hearing Ye Fei’s words, Qin Lan’s expression froze, filled with surprise.
Afterward, her heart pondered for a long time, but she couldn’t grasp the crux of the matter. Thus, she directly asked Ye Fei.
“What I mean by abnormal is that your illness is very peculiar… it doesn’t seem like an illness…”
Ye Fei said, looking at Qin Lan.
Immediately after, Ye Fei continued before Qin Lan could speak, “Sister, are you certain your illness was present from birth?”
After speaking, Ye Fei raised his head and stared intently at Qin Lan, awaiting her answer.
Previously, Ye Fei had heard from Qin Bing that Qin Lan’s affliction was congenital!
In other words, it was an illness carried from the womb, incurable!
At first, Ye Fei had thought so too. But after examining her, his mind had begun to disagree.
