The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 695 - 657: I Will Only Love Him

After Qiao Yuxian fell asleep, Yan Ting left her room and went to call the Western doctor.

Because Mr. Huo Jiu was poisoned, the doctor transferred from M Continent had been staying here.

At noon, after Qiao Yuxian woke up, the doctor went to draw her blood.

The results were out by the afternoon.

The blood test results Yan Ting saw in the afternoon were all over the place, nearly all marked in red, with some numbers far exceeding the normal range.

The doctor spoke with Yan Ting for quite a while, finally concluding that it was serious.

So serious, it could be life-threatening at any moment.

With this result, as soon as the doctor left, Yan Ting went out.

He didn’t return until evening.

Upon returning, he first checked on Mr. Huo Jiu, then went to Qiao Yuxian’s room.

Qiao Yuxian had just finished taking her medicine, her brows scrunched up from the bitterness, sipping water in small sips.

Yan Ting came in, glanced at the medicine bowl on the tea table, then at her bitter little face, and took a candy out from his pocket, unwrapped it, and gave it to her.

Qiao Yuxian quickly tossed it into her mouth.

The sweet taste spread in her mouth, and her expression eased a little.

She had been squatting beside the tea table, but now she simply sat down.

Yan Ting said, "The floor is cold."

A muffled voice came from Qiao Yuxian’s mouth as she said, "There’s a carpet."

Despite the carpet, Yan Ting picked up a blanket from the sofa, folded it a few times, and handed it to her.

Qiao Yuxian took it, placed it underneath, and moved over to sit on it.

Yan Ting sat beside her and asked, "How do you feel?"

"How are the blood test results?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

There was a slight pause in Yan Ting’s eyes, then he returned to normal and said, "The doctor didn’t say much."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, then chuckled.

Yan Ting looked at her, seeing her weak, tired eyes filled with mirth. He asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing because you’re lying," Qiao Yuxian said. "Huang Qi told me. You had them take a blood test again. Do you not trust Huang Qi?"

Yan Ting’s lips moved slightly, but he said nothing.

Qiao Yuxian hugged her legs, tilting her head to rest on her knees, and said, "Is it because of Gu Yanjing?"

"Yes." Yan Ting said, "He’s Gu Yanjing’s man. I don’t trust him. I even suspect him. But... he’s the only one with a solution, so I have to trust him."

Qiao Yuxian smiled lightly, "Don’t worry. Before I brought him here, his family was already under my control. It’s control under the guise of protection. After all, he came here with me, and his family is not safe either. Protection and control. They’re all my people; no one can interfere. Gu Yanjing..."

Her voice paused for a moment, "can’t make a move. Besides..."

Qiao Yuxian thought for a moment and said, "If Huang Qi really has issues, it means he also has ways. I think Gu Yanjing still has some feelings for me. As long as they get what they want, they shouldn’t be so ruthless as to kill me."

Yan Ting looked at her, his lips moved again but he didn’t speak.

Qiao Yuxian said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"It’s nothing." Yan Ting looked elsewhere as he spoke.

"You’re beating around the bush; if you have something to say, just say it," Qiao Yuxian whispered.

Yan Ting still didn’t speak.

Qiao Yuxian looked at his profile. After a while, she asked, "Come on, tell me what you want to say!"

"Do you really want to ask?" Yan Ting said.

"It’s just, looking at you like that, I’m worried if you don’t say it out, you’ll just... you’ll just... develop constipation by tomorrow," Qiao Yuxian said.

Yan Ting poked her head with his finger, "Little girl, don’t talk nonsense."

Qiao Yuxian hummed softly, "Then just say it."

"If it were you, would you spare the life of someone who could endanger you at any time?" Yan Ting asked, "Especially someone very threatening."

He was afraid of agitating her, worrying it might worsen her condition, and didn’t dare to speak too harshly.

But withholding it, he couldn’t bear it.

Shock filled Qiao Yuxian’s expression.

Yan Ting watched her alarmed and somewhat fearful eyes.

Qiao Yuxian was silent for a while before answering, "No."

Yan Ting said nothing more.

Qiao Yuxian hugged her knees and stayed quiet.

The two sat quietly for a while before Yan Ting gently patted her head, saying, "Some people are just passing by. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, no need to linger. Look ahead, there will be a new life, a better life, better people in the future."

Qiao Yuxian remained still, pausing for a moment before looking at him and saying, "Brother, I really like Gu Yanjing. As a lover, a partner, a husband, it will only ever be him for me, no one else."

Listening to her words, each word took Yan Ting by surprise; his pupils shrank, and his voice suddenly became cold, "He wants your life, he wants Grandpa’s life, he’s an enemy of Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Xi, yet you still like him? You still insist on him?"

"Yes." Tears welled up in Qiao Yuxian’s eyes, "Even if I kill him with my own hands, even if he’s gone. I would still only like this one person, and will never like anyone else again."

"Qiao Yuxian!" Yan Ting shouted at her.

Tears fell from Qiao Yuxian’s eyes, "Love is love, hate is hate. I can end him myself, but all feelings stop at him, there won’t be any more."

Yan Ting’s head throbbed from her words, his neck reddened from frustration, but seeing her tears, her red eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to lose his temper. He could only suppress his urge to curse, standing up and saying, "Who knows what the future holds."

Qiao Yuxian sniffed, looked away, and softly retorted, "Yes, no one can predict the future. But the words I’ve said will definitely count."

Yan Ting was so vexed his breathing became labored. He took a couple of deep breaths, pressed his trembling lips together, and turned directly around, stepping out of the room.

Qiao Yuxian remained seated, the room quiet, staring blankly at the carpet. After a while, she raised her hand to gently wipe away her tears.

Just as she finished wiping, the door opened again.

Qiao Yuxian looked towards the door and saw Yan Ting returning, quickly striding over and bending down to scoop her up.

Qiao Yuxian was startled, suddenly lifted off the ground, feeling dizzy, and unsure where to place her hands, she clutched at her clothes.

Yan Ting walked to the bed and placed her down.

His expression was grim, but his movements were gentle.

He leaned over, his hand pressing down beside her, and suddenly their distance closed.

Qiao Yuxian widened her eyes, staring at him.

Yan Ting looked at her too. Everything seemed to pause for a moment, his cold eyes suddenly covered by something, then he leaned in a bit further, moving closer to her.

Qiao Yuxian, like a startled rabbit, jerked, pressing a hand on his shoulder, and exclaimed, "Brother!"

The sound was not small, and Yan Ting’s gaze flickered, pulling his hand back and standing up straight.

Qiao Yuxian quickly sat up on the bed, leaning against the headboard, paused for two seconds, then grabbed the blanket, wrapping it over her legs.

Yan Ting, watching her actions, said, "The Peace Pendant, give it to me."

Qiao Yuxian froze and looked at him, "It’s all arranged?"

"Yes." Yan Ting responded.

"When?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Someone has contacted me. The time and place will be their decision," Yan Ting said, "they’ll contact and decide at any time. They’re also scared, so they’ll be very cautious, the time and place might change anytime."

Qiao Yuxian nodded, taking off the Peace Pendant to give it to him, "I understand. You take it first. They’ll contact you anytime, you act whenever."

"Okay." Yan Ting took the Peace Pendant, "Wait for my news."

He finished, holding the Peace Pendant as he walked out.

Qiao Yuxian watched his back, "Brother."

Yan Ting paused.

Qiao Yuxian said, "You must be safe."

Yan Ting tightened his grip on the Peace Pendant, "Alright. I will return safely."
