Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Don’t Be Fooled by Him Again

Seeing Qi Yue resolutely refusing the items, Zhao Fangyuan became so anxious that sweat beads started to form.

However, his master had forbidden him to reveal his identity, saying that if he did, Miss Qi would be even less likely to accept them.

It was maddening!

“Don’t say anything. If you don’t take these back or keep sending them, I won’t do business with you in the black market anymore… You can take this gold too…”

How could this be acceptable!

If they stopped doing business altogether, his master would surely discard him!

Zhao Fangyuan’s knees weakened, and he almost knelt down.

“All right, all right, I’ll have someone take the items back! We’ll continue doing business, does this work for you?”

Seeing that Zhao Fangyuan wasn’t persistently bothering her like Hu Keqing, Qi Yue felt a sense of relief.

Honestly, she still cared a lot about dealing with the black market.

After all, the boss behind the scenes knew the goods and recognized the quality of her items!

Switching to another might not fetch her such a good price!

“Mm, let it be so, business is business, don’t mix in unnecessary complications, understand?”

“Yes, yes, Miss Qi’s reprimand is right.”

Zhao Fangyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and just as he relaxed, he looked up and was startled by Zhao Xiyan’s face, causing him to stagger.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhao walking past him as if he didn’t recognize him.

Mother, who can tell him what is going on?

If the master was here, why didn’t he deliver the items himself, and instead made him do it, almost losing the business deal!

Meanwhile, Qi Yue, quite interested, checked the gold, calling over Old Lady Zhang to have people carry the gold into her room.

“Mother Zhang, bring over the prepared pills and hand them to Manager Zhao.”

“Yes!”

Old Lady Zhang, along with several others of different heights and builds, left and soon came back with a box.

“Miss, everything’s here!”

Qi Yue originally wanted her to directly hand it to Manager Zhao, but upon seeing Zhao Xiyan, she immediately thought to leave him a bottle for emergencies and reached into the box to take out a bottle of Carefree Pill and a Blood Coagulation Pill.

“Keep these on you, just in case.”

She spoke and acted naturally, pulling his hand over and placing the pills in his palm.

It was only when she touched his warm palm did she suddenly remember that she was no longer Zhao Xiyan’s wife, but someone he had vowed never to see again.

Giving Zhao Xiyan medicine had become a habit for her; just now, it was purely a reflex.

Yet Zhao Xiyan still held onto the pills, his fingertips whether intentionally or unintentionally brushing against her hand.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Yueyue.”

His soft voice and profound gaze appeared greatly amiss.

Suddenly, alarm bells went off in Qi Yue’s mind.

What was this man doing?

Did he know what he was doing?

Didn’t he already have Lady Bai Shao, and now what did this mean?

A former husband’s lingering affection for his ex-wife?

It seemed necessary to immediately clarify his purpose for coming here and to send him away.

If things continued this way, she would soon lose any semblance of control!

Just as she was thinking this, Qu Wei suddenly started making a fuss nearby.

“Yueyue, are these new pills you’ve made? They must be good, right? Why does he have some, and I don’t?”

Qi Yue was momentarily stumped.

Why?

Because upon seeing Zhao Xiyan, she couldn’t control herself.

She always wanted to give him the best, what others also had.

Qu Wei? Elder brother?

She hardly had such concepts in her heart.

“He, well, he paid for them.”

In a moment of quick thinking, Qi Yue also grabbed a bottle of Carefree Pills and a Blood Coagulation Pill from the box, throwing them into Qu Wei’s arms.

“That’s 250,000 silver in total, don’t forget to pay me.”

“250,000? You’re ripping off your own big brother!”

Qi Yue had already composed herself from the awkwardness and eyed Qu Wei, who stared back with wide eyes, then snorted in frustration.

“Didn’t you see all those boxes of gold? If it’s too expensive, go buy on the black market!”

As she spoke, she started to take away the pills, but Qu Wei quickly hugged them.

“I’ll pay, I’ll pay, okay? Can’t you consider your big brother’s face and reduce the price a bit?”

Qi Yue tugged at her lips.

“Friendship price, 100,000.”

Qu Wei grinned and smiled. “Deal! It’s better than being the big fool who spends 250,000!”

“Are you saying you got a deal and still act clever, huh? Believe it or not, I won’t give you any pills!”

“Dear sister, don’t be so harsh. I’m your real big brother after all!”

The two of them joked and chatted affectionately, just like a family.

Zhao Fangyuan watched, sweating bullets, and discreetly glanced at Zhao Xiyan, who frowned and involuntarily shivered.

Forget it, he couldn’t anyway reveal his master’s identity as the big fool.

He hurriedly took the box from Mrs. Zhang and escaped quickly.

Having seen so many secrets of his master today, would he be dealt with later?

At the moment, watching Qi Yue and Qu Wei interact also made Zhao Xiyan’s heart ache.

He came over today mainly to clarify the rumor about his marriage to Qi Yue, and to discuss the recent situation at home.

But he had been here a whole day and still hadn’t found the right moment to sit alone quietly with Qi Yue.

What’s more, even though Qi Yue misunderstood that he was married, she never once asked about it or mentioned his family at all.

It was as if she didn’t care at all.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had never held any romantic feelings for him, and now she wasn’t even acknowledging his brotherly role!

And she accepted someone like Qu Wei as her big brother?

Should he give up?

No, never.

Just watch Qi Yue marry someone else?

He couldn’t do it.

She was once his wife, and that can’t be changed for a lifetime.

Even if she didn’t like him, he had to forcefully integrate into her life.

Just like how she forcefully entered his life back then.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang came up and said dinner was ready, asking where they would like to eat.

Upon hearing Qi Yue say to go to the dining hall, he abruptly called out, “Yueyue.”

“What’s up? You don’t want to go to the dining hall?” Qi Yue turned her head to look at him.

For a moment, he felt like he was back in the days when they were fleeing from calamity.

Qi Yue used to make his favorite grilled meats and handed them to him with the same serious look.

“I want to have dinner alone with you. I have something to tell you!”

He must tell Qi Yue that he hadn’t married anyone else, even if she didn’t care.

Moreover, he wanted to be alone with her without Qu Wei, the spoiler, interrupting; Qi Yue would pay more attention to him.

“No way, why do you get to have dinner alone with my Yueyue?” Qu Wei jumped out, his face a picture of assertive seniority. “Did you ask her big brother first?”

“Zhao Xiyan, let me tell you, Qi Yue has acknowledged me as her big brother, she’s my dear sister, and you better not bully her again!”

He shook his fan angrily, his scholarly face almost distorting.

Zhao Xiyan’s expression turned grim.

Qi Yue was puzzled as to why Qu Wei suddenly erupted and tried to intervene.

“Big brother, can you not target him? It’s just a meal, how is he bullying me?”

Qu Wei vigorously shook his fan several dozen times, then suddenly snapped it closed and shouted loudly, “Yueyue, you despise me for being old, fancy his face, and stubbornly acknowledged me as your big brother. I accepted all that, but you must listen to me.”

“Do you know what I heard in the Capital City? This guy is just a pretty face, but his intentions are all shady.”

He gripped the fan, pointing its head at Zhao Xiyan, his face filled with anger.

“I didn’t want to tell you this and spoil your mood, but now I just can’t bear it anymore!”

“You did right divorcing him. Don’t be deceived by him again this time.”
