Chapter 6: Don't You Like Me?

"A misunderstanding?"

Luo You coughed, her face cold as she said, "I saw everything. What misunderstanding could there be?"

"But, but..."

Chen Yan was anxious but just couldn't explain herself.

"Let me explain."

Ye Ling turned to Luo You and said, "You really are misunderstanding. She was just examining me."

"Is that how one conducts an examination?"

Luo You didn't believe it. A physical examination, really?

"She is..." Ye Ling searched his memories for a moment and then said, "Oh, she's nearsighted."

"Hmph, no need to explain."

Luo You said to Chen Yan, "I really didn't expect you to do something like this in a hospital. That guy is shameless and vile, and you let yourself be fooled too?"

Luo You really didn't have a good impression of Ye Ling. He had been staring at her chest when she examined him earlier that morning, and she couldn't believe that in just a short morning's time, Chen Yan had been charmed by him.

"Doctor Luo, you really misunderstood us... we... we didn't..." Chen Yan's face turned beet red as if she was about to cry.

"No need to explain. Whatever you do is none of my business, but this is a hospital. That sort of thing should be done at home!"

Luo You, with a stern face, said to Ye Ling, "Come with me, complete the rest of the tests. If there's nothing wrong, you can be discharged."

"Alright then."

Ye Ling helplessly spread his hands at Chen Yan. With Luo You refusing to listen, there was not much he could do.

But thinking about his and Chen Yan's actions just now, they really were a bit... inappropriate!

Following Luo You, he underwent a series of tests. His health indicators were off the charts, making Luo You seriously wonder if Ye Ling was even human.

If he was human, how could someone who had been crushed to pieces last night have absolutely no issues today?

After completing his discharge, the costs of which had been prepaid by Han Qingxin, Ye Ling unexpectedly ran into Chen Yan again right before leaving.

"Beauty, you..."

"Shut up!"

Just as Ye Ling was about to speak, Chen Yan angrily said, "It's all your fault! Now everything is ruined. I just started my internship here, and if Doctor Luo holds a grudge over this, I can kiss my job goodbye."

"Really? All this fuss over such a small matter, would she bear a grudge forever?" asked Ye Ling.

"Hmmph, you think it's a small matter, huh? But in Doctor Luo's eyes, it's clear she thinks we were... we were doing that sort of thing, which severely tarnishes the hospital's image!"

As she spoke, Chen Yan's face turned red again, though her shy expression was truly enticing.

"If she fires you over this, you can come find me, and I'll explain everything clearly to her," Ye Ling said.

"You?"

Chen Yan looked Ye Ling up and down, her lips curled in skepticism. "Would Doctor Luo even believe the words of a pervert like you?"

Ye Ling couldn't understand. Luo You called him a pervert, Chen Yan called him a pervert, but where had he acted like one?

"Just leave now. If Doctor Luo sees us together, she'll misunderstand again." Having said that, Chen Yan turned to leave.

However, Ye Ling snatched the paper and pen Chen Yan was holding and scribbled down a phone number, smiling as he said, "This is my number. Keep it; you'll definitely find a use for it."

Ye Ling was not lying with these words. With his memories as the Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperor, he was bound to become an impressive figure on Earth. There were some things others couldn't help with, but he could.

But just because Ye Ling wasn't lying didn't mean Chen Yan would believe him.

"We won't have anything to do with each other in the future, so there's no point for me to have your number," Chen Yan said.

"That's not necessarily true. Keep it, and if you ever have something you can't handle, you can call me."

Ye Ling's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at Chen Yan earnestly and said, "You must keep my number. It will definitely be of use."

After speaking, Ye Ling turned and left the hospital.

As Chen Yan watched Ye Ling's retreating figure, she suddenly felt that there was a mysterious aura about him.

Remembering Ye Ling's abnormally fast recovery speed, Chen Yan thought for a moment and decided to save Ye Ling's number.

...

As for Ye Ling, after leaving the hospital, he returned to his rented house.

The house was as old as they come, and it seemed to be at the age where it should be demolished. Moreover, it was only one room, about twenty square meters in size.

But in Donghai City, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, even a house like this cost 1500 yuan a month in rent.

The former Ye Ling had struggled here for several years, and in the end, he had achieved nothing.

For Ye Ling, who had grown accustomed to living in extremely luxurious palaces, staying in this house was simply unbearable—and that was the second reason why he had asked Han Qingxin for money.

The first reason was that Ye Ling, right now, needed his first pot of gold.

Ye Ling wasn't just the Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperor; he was also a master at alchemy and artifact crafting. With just 100,000 yuan, he could buy some low-grade herbs and start making elixir pills for sale.

Of course, what was considered low-grade 'herbs' to him, were not something ordinary people on Earth could afford.

"Knock knock knock."

Just as Ye Ling lay down on the bed, thinking about when Han Qingxin would send him the money, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Who is it?" asked Ye Ling.

"Brother Ye, it's me."

The voice of Lin Yuqing could be heard outside, and clearly, finding Ye Ling actually at home, there was an excited note in her voice.

"Lin Yuqing? Oh, that's his junior sister, also a great beauty!"

Ye Ling recalled Lin Yuqing's appearance in his mind and thought to himself, "What a damn fool, ignoring such a good girl and instead chasing after that bullshit Liu Fei."

With that thought, Ye Ling opened the door.

"Brother Ye, are you... are you alright?"

As soon as Lin Yuqing saw Ye Ling, she looked him over with concern. Only when she saw that he was alright did she let out a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely afraid that Ye Ling would do something rash because of the incident with Liu Fei.

"Of course, I'm fine."

Ye Ling reached out his hand and gently brushed Lin Yuqing's cheek—the soft touch was really nice.

Lin Yuqing was beautiful, with an innocent aura and a perfect curves. During college, she was the belle of the music department, and countless men pursued her. However, for some reason, she had a soft spot for Ye Ling.

Even knowing that Ye Ling was with Liu Fei, she did not give up.

"Brother Ye, you..."

Lin Yuqing's delicate cheeks immediately turned red, and she couldn't believe that after liking Ye Ling for so long, he had never made such an intimate gesture toward her before.

"Little girl, don't you like me?" Ye Ling said with a smile lifting the corners of his mouth.
