Chapter 110 If Time Could Prove
Chapter 110 If Time Could Prove
"Bang... Bang... Bang...."The Qiu family had many injured descendants who had just managed to get up, only to fall to the ground one after another, their faces ashen, unable to accept the reality before them.
Even the old ancestor was gone; the Qiu family's sky had completely collapsed. Qiu Yuansheng nearly bit his tongue in half, sitting on the ground, dazed, staring at the body of Qiu Haoqiong in front of him as if he had lost his soul.
Ling Fan's eyes moved slightly as he stooped down and began to
Chen Xue added a piece of meat to Ling Fan's bowl, also showing curiosity.
He Jiayi, still holding some resentment towards her parents, retorted with a pout, "We met at school, my Eyes of Golden Flame are way better than yours. I don't mean to criticize, but what a mess the Qiu family is, to push your daughter into a pit of fire!"
He Qingyang felt embarrassed and didn't have much to say; it was the choice of the Qiu family that he couldn't refuse unless he wanted to die.
But discussing it was pointless now, and after briefly chatting, the atmosphere was mostly kept alive by Chen Xue, as He Jiayi still harbored some resentment towards her father.
If it weren't for Ling Fan today, the rest of her life would have been a living nightmare. Find your next adventure on empire
And after the shocking events of the day, He Qingyang and his wife were still somewhat restrained around Ling Fan.
Ling Fan inwardly smiled wryly, cleaned his plate, put down his chopsticks, and was about to go to his room to rest when there was a knock at the door.
Chen Xue opened the door, and to her surprise, it was Qiu Yuansheng bringing people carrying two large wooden boxes, shakily making his way in front of Ling Fan.
Although the He family had moved, it wasn't difficult to find them in a place as small as Ice City.
"Young Master Ling, these are all the medicinal herbs my Qiu family has collected over the years, all here, with absolutely no portion hidden!" Qiu Yuansheng said nervously.
Ling Fan stood up to look, secretly astonished in his heart, "The Qiu family's foundation is quite substantial, to have so much?"
After sending off the few people, Ling Fan opened the boxes to check and was immediately dumbfounded.
He had asked for herbs aged a hundred years and above, yet they had even brought herbs that were only twenty or thirty years old; he had thought he was about to strike it rich!
But on second thought, he could understand; Qiu Yuansheng had been scared out of his wits and really hadn't dared to hold anything back, probably emptying out the family's reserves, now, the Qiu family would probably struggle to produce even a twenty-year-old herb.
Ling Fan sifted through everything once and found that there wasn't any of the thousand-year-old medicines that Qiu Haoqiong had secretly hoarded, though there were a few hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum roots, and he immediately closed the boxes.
He turned to He Qingyang and said, "Uncle, I'll give you an address later; could you help me send these off tomorrow?"
He couldn't carry so many things with him, so he had to entrust them to Xiao Chubing; he immediately sent a message to his wife, briefly explaining the situation!
He Qingyang dared not delay and promptly agreed.
After everything was settled, Ling Fan greeted the He couple and was then pulled into her bedroom by He Jiayi!
Ling Fan felt a bit awkward, "Um, is it appropriate for me to sleep here? Maybe I should go to another room!"
"What for, you blockhead? They all know you're my boyfriend. If you and I sleep in separate rooms now, wouldn't that give us away?" He Jiayi said, annoyed.
At the same time, she felt secretly bashful, though she kept a nonchalant face.
Ling Fan felt helpless in his heart; it seemed he had to be good to the end, sending Buddha all the way to the west!
"By the way, I'm planning to leave tomorrow morning, and you should head back to school early too!" Ling Fan reminded her.
"So soon?" He Jiayi felt reluctant, hoping to spend a few more days with Ling Fan.
"I still have things to do. The Qiu family's matter is already resolved, and you don't have to worry anymore. From now on, you can boldly fall in love with any guy you fancy!" Ling Fan teased.
With that, he lay down on the bed fully clothed, "I'm going to sleep, you should rest early too!"
Seeing this, He Jiayi became flustered, blushing as she sneaked a glance at him, noticing Ling Fan had already turned on his side, pretending to sleep.
Lying there, Ling Fan heard rustling sounds and couldn't help but think of Xiao Chubing and Yun Fei in Binzhou; now that he was sharing a room with another woman, a sense of guilt inevitably rose in his heart.
At that moment, He Jiayi had already changed into her clothes, and like a slippery little loach, she slid nervously into the bed.
After a short while, He Jiayi's soft and fragile voice reached his ears, "Um... thank you for today. I... I can offer myself to you..."
Ling Fan was startled and took a deep breath; he was no saint, but did she have to be so tempting?
As one of Binzhou University's top ten beauties, He Jiayi naturally had her exceptional qualities, even though she wasn't as mature and elegant as a woman refined by society!
But she did possess a different kind of pure vitality, a vibrant youthful aura, with a growing figure and delicate skin; it was impossible for Ling Fan to be unaffected unless he wasn't a man!
However, with a loving wife at home, how could he entangle himself with this young girl!
Moreover, she was different from Xiao Chubing and Yun Fei; her mind was not yet fully matured, and if she met his other women in the future, they might not be able to get along peacefully!
He didn't want to set fire to his own backyard; the reason he had dared to take responsibility for Yun Fei was that she was a mature-minded woman who could handle some matters by herself.
"Go to sleep; I have a lot of women, and it's not as wonderful as you imagine!" Ling Fan took a deep breath, determined to extinguish the young girl's fantasies.
"I know, how could a man like you only have one woman? I just want to be one of your women!" He Jiayi poked her little head out, her gaze in the darkness was resolute.
Ling Fan was suddenly at a loss for words; this was different from what he had imagined!
"You're still young, and this is just a momentary impulse. In the future, you'll meet a man you like!" Ling Fan sighed inwardly, speaking calmly.
"That's just an excuse. How am I young? I know what I'm doing. You saved my life, and from now on, I'll be yours. Am I not even qualified to be your woman?" He Jiayi's voice carried a hint of grievance and loss.
"You're overthinking it; there will be many men who like you!" Ling Fan consoled her, unsure of the best way to reject her.
"If time can prove my sincerity, I hope you don't reject me. I liked you ever since that day in front of the Fighting Stage!" He Jiayi said softly.
Ling Fan sighed softly in his heart and fell silent, unexpectedly incurring yet another emotional debt, only hoping that time would soothe her restless youthful heart.
The room fell into a silence...
