If it had been before today, Dongfang Jiayan wouldn't have played around with a child.
But today was different …
Firstly, Yan Guilai had proven that he could dispel the Sky-burning Demon Flame. Her life could be saved. She was overjoyed to have a new life.
Secondly, once the Sky-burning Demon Flame was dispelled, she could have her own child. This was very important for a woman. A woman without a child was incomplete.
Thirdly, she didn't think that she was old. The reason why she was dressed so old-fashioned and plain was that she didn't want to attract unwanted attention. As Yan Guilai had said, she didn't want to attract unwanted attention.
Dongfang Jiayan smiled sweetly and looked at Chai Baisheng. "If that's the case, I'll change my clothes. Let's see if I'm old or not."
Dongfang Jiayan turned around and entered the back door of the medicine shop to change her clothes.
After watching Dongfang Jiayan leave, Yan Guilai couldn't help but turn his head and look at Master Chai. "I really don't know … How did you catch up with Sister Jiayan? You don't even know how to make a girl happy."
Master Chai glared at Yan Guilai and said, "Why … Do you know how to make a girl happy? But let me tell you, you have to treat a girl with sincerity! Otherwise … You'll never get true love! "
True … True love!
Will I … never be able to obtain true love?
Hearing Master Chai's words, Yan Guilai didn't know why, but he felt a sharp pain in his heart. A cold and heartless face flashed before his eyes before he could see it clearly.
Then, a beautiful and sorrowful face appeared in his mind for a moment before disappearing in an instant.
A feeling of incomparable sadness and desolation rose in his heart. Unknowingly, Yan Guilai's face was covered in tears.
Stunned, Yan Guilai wiped the tears from his face. His face was blank. What's going on? Why does my heart hurt so much? Why … Why does my heart feel so sorrowful?
Also, who are those two women? Why … I can't see their faces clearly.
Amidst the endless grief, the sound of a door flap could be heard, and a delicate voice could be heard, "What's going on? Chai Baisheng! Did you bully him?! "
Hearing this voice, Yan Guilai wiped his tears and raised his head to look in the direction of the voice.
What he saw made Yan Guilai's eyes widen.
Although Yan Guilai knew that Dongfang Jiayan wasn't old at all … Yan Guilai had never expected that she would look so young once she changed into a young girl's outfit.
It would be an exaggeration to say that she was a sixteen year old girl, but it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was twenty years old.
Although she didn't have the immaturity of a young girl, at a glance, Dongfang Jiayan looked like a newlywed in her twenties. She was extremely beautiful!
Most importantly, she didn't just possess a beautiful appearance, she even possessed a mature, steady, and cultured inner beauty. As she stood there silently, she naturally emanated a peerless beauty.
Looking at Dongfang Jiayan, Chai Baisheng was completely dumbfounded.
Looking at Dongfang Jiayan in front of him, he couldn't help but recall the first time he saw her.
At that time, she was so beautiful. No … To be exact, she was far more beautiful now.
Looking at Chai Baisheng's dumbfounded expression, Yan Guilai shook his head and said, "What a pity! It's really a pity … A fresh flower stuck in a pile of cow dung! "
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Chai Baisheng suddenly widened his eyes and said angrily, "You brat, shut up. Back then … I, Chai Baisheng, was also a handsome and suave person, hehe …"
Shrugging his shoulders, Yan Guilai was no longer in the mood because of the sudden grief just now, so … Yan Guilai shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's not appropriate for me to intervene in the matters between you two. Hurry up … settle the account for me, I want to go home!"
Go home?
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Dongfang Jiayan obviously didn't want to let him go. She said, "What home? Didn't you call me Sister Jiayan? From today onwards, you can live here. This is your home. "
Yes, yes.
…
Nodding his head, Chai Baisheng said in agreement, "Not just you, you can also bring Yafu and Yaxin here. We'll take them as our goddaughters, you see …"
Before Master Chai could finish, Yan Guilai rolled his eyes and said, "I've said it before, if you want children, you can have them yourselves. Why do you always want to take other people as your sons and daughters?"
Chai Baisheng couldn't help but be speechless at Yan Guilai's words.
They wanted to take Yan Guilai as their son purely because they liked and admired him. They really wanted to have a son like him.
As for Yafu and Yaxin, it was purely to repay a debt of gratitude. Otherwise … with their status and position, how could they easily take people as their godsons and daughters?
Looking at Chai Baisheng and Dongfang Jiayan, Yan Guilai said, "As the saying goes, friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Friendship is friendship, but it's not appropriate for me to live here."
Yan Guilai waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, it's easy to meet, but difficult to stay for a long time. I won't make such a mistake. Cut the crap, quickly pay the bill, I'm leaving …"
Dongfang Jiayan looked at Yan Guilai helplessly and opened the drawer. She took out ten large gold ingots, placed them on the counter, and pushed them to Yan Guilai.
Yan Guilai shook his head helplessly and said, "As the saying goes, friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. What do you mean by this?"
In the face of Yan Guilai's accusation, Dongfang Jiayan said, "You have to accept this money. After all … you helped me …"
Yan Guilai shook his head and said, "I'm not a doctor. How can I accept treatment fees? Moreover … if I really accept treatment fees, how can this be enough? Your life, your family's happiness, is it only worth ten gold ingots? "
This …
Dongfang Jiayan was speechless when she heard Yan Guilai's words. Yes … if they didn't know each other, she wouldn't hesitate to go bankrupt in order to treat the illness.
Money can be earned if it's gone, but if the person is gone, then it's gone.
Yan Guilai looked deeply at Chai Baisheng and Dongfang Jiayan and said, "Since you call me little brother, I'll recognize you as my friends. As a friend … I'll help you if I can, and I won't ask for anything in return. This is my principle."
After a pause, Yan Guilai continued, "It's not my style to ask for anything in return. Take Yafu and Yaxin for example. I've saved their lives a few times. Using your logic, how should they repay me?"
Master Chai sighed and said, "I understand. As a brother and as a friend, you don't have to be so calculative. Now that you have the ability, you've helped us. When we have the ability in the future, we can help you too …"
Yan Guilai nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, aren't friends supposed to help each other? Alright … you know what I mean. I'm too lazy to talk to you. Hurry up and pay the bill! "
Dongfang Jiayan had no choice but to put away the ten gold ingots. She counted out a hundred and twenty-seven taels of silver and handed them to Yan Guilai.
Yan Guilai put the money away with satisfaction and said, "That's right. Alright … I have to go back. Otherwise, Yafu and Yaxin will be worried about me."
