The Physician Tycoon

Ye Kai looked at Jiang Qian nervously, afraid that she would say the wrong thing.

Jiang Qian shook her head. "No, Ye Kai is my client."

Ye Kai was finally relieved.

Li Yao continued, "What kind of business does he do?"

"Watermelon, peaches, all kinds of fruit."

"Oh, you two seem to have a close relationship. I thought you were boyfriend and girlfriend."

"We have a cooperative relationship, and Ye Kai is from our Taoyuan. He even saved my life, so I invited him to my home for dinner. Please don't misunderstand."

"He even saved your life, how come?"

"Once, I went to Peach Blossom Mountain to collect herbs and was captured by a group of bad guys. Fortunately, Ye Kai appeared in time, drove the bad guys away, and rescued me."

Li Yao exclaimed, "This is truly a modern-day version of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress! It seems you two are really destined for each other."

Jiang Qian called out, "Sister, don't just talk, eat some food!"

As she spoke, Jiang Qian placed some food on Li Yao's plate.

Li Yao nodded, "Thank you, little sister." Then she changed the subject...

"Actually, I think you two are a good match. Have you considered becoming Ye Kai's girlfriend?"

Jiang Qian blushed. "I'm not in a hurry to date right now. I was just transferred to Jiangzhou and I have a lot of work to do."

"Work is never-ending. If you find a suitable opportunity, you should seize it quickly, or someone else will snatch it up."

"So, Sister Yao, do you have a boyfriend?"

Li Yao sighed, "I'm just like you, busy with work every day, I don't have time to date."

What kind of boyfriend are you looking for?

Li Yao looked at Ye Kai and said, "He needs to have good character, and look like Ye Kai, that's fine."

"You like Ye Kai? Ye Kai, your luck with love has arrived, hurry up and seize the opportunity."

Jiang Qian rarely joked with Ye Kai.

Ye Kai quickly waved his hand, "Don't joke around, Sister Yao is a big star, I'm not good enough for her."

Li Yao smiled and said, "I think you're great. You're handsome, ambitious, and very sunny."

Jiang Qian urged from the side, "Ye Kai, seize the opportunity! Sister Yao is my idol!"

"Let's not talk about that, come on, let's drink!"

Ye Kai wanted to get Jiang Qian drunk, preferably until she was completely tipsy, so he could make his move later.

"No, I can't drink anymore, I've already had too much."

"You've only had two drinks, have another one."

"No, I can only drink two glasses of wine at most each time."

Li Yao glared at Ye Kai, "What are you up to by keeping pouring wine for my sister?"

"What ulterior motives do I have? Is three drinks too much?"

Li Yao persisted, saying, "My sister only drank two glasses, why did you make her drink three? What are you really up to?"

"What ulterior motives could I possibly have? You're judging a gentleman by your own petty standards."

"That's not necessarily true. My sister is incredibly beautiful and has a stunning figure. If I were a man, I would definitely marry her!"

Jiang Qian blushed after hearing Li Yao's words. "Sister, you're the one who's truly beautiful!"

"So, sister, we need to be wary of these men. They usually approach you with ill intentions, and I think Ye Kai is no exception!"

"No, no, Ye Kai isn't that kind of person. I know him."

"Sister, you can know a person's face but not their heart. How do you know what he's thinking?"

"He saved my life and didn't ask me to repay him. He's a good person."

"People change, little sister. Come on, let's have some more."

Li Yao poured wine for Jiang Qian, but Jiang Qian declined, saying, "Sister, I really can't drink anymore."

"It's alright, this is your home. If you've had too much to drink, just take a nap. We hit it off immediately. I don't have a sister, but if you don't mind, how about we become god-sisters?"

Jiang Qian said excitedly, "This is exactly what I've been hoping for, sister!"

"younger sister!"

Taking the opportunity, Li Yao poured wine into Jiang Qian's glass, "Come on, sister, let's become sworn sisters, cheers!"

This time, Jiang Qian couldn't refuse anymore, so she picked up her wine glass and took a sip.

"Come on, little sister, good things come in pairs!"

Li Yao kept urging her to drink. Having seen countless big occasions, she was extremely skilled at persuading people to drink. Jiang Qian couldn't resist her repeated urging and drank two more cups of wine. Two red blushes appeared on her face, making her look even more charming and lovely.

Ye Kai was eating when a foot stretched out from under the table and rubbed against his leg.

Ye Kai knew without even looking that it must be Li Yao's foot, because Jiang Qian would never do such a thing.

Li Yao groped Ye Kai's thigh without restraint.

Ye Kai felt a tickle in his heart, but he couldn't show it or let Jiang Qian see it, so he could only silently endure it.

Li Yao didn't even glance at Ye Kai, drinking with Jiang Qian while teasing Ye Kai with her foot.

Fortunately, Jiang Qian didn't notice any of the tricks under the table. After drinking her fourth glass of wine, she refused to drink any more, no matter what Li Yao said.

Dinner was finally over. The two women busied themselves washing the dishes, then sat down on the sofa and drank some tea.

Jiang Qian brought over paper and a notebook for Li Yao to sign. Li Yao stood up to leave.

"Little sister, I've had too much to drink, I'm going back to rest."

"Okay, sis, I'll see you off." Jiang Qian escorted Li Yao to the door. Li Yao looked at Ye Kai and said, "Ye Kai, aren't you leaving? If I leave, I'm worried about my sister being all alone here."

"I have something to say to Jiang Qian. I'll leave right away after I'm done."

"Then tell me now, I'll be waiting here."

Ye Kai was furious. "You, Li Yao, you're deliberately here to cause trouble! Just tell me!"

"That's a trade secret; you're not suited to listen here."

Li Yao patted Jiang Qian on the shoulder.

"Alright, I'm off then, little sister. If he dares to do anything to you, just call me and I'll be right there!"

"Okay, sister."

Li Yao left, and Ye opened the door.

Jiang Qian asked, "What's wrong?"

"Jiang Qian, I have nowhere to stay tonight."

Jiang Qian was taken aback. "So where have you been staying these past few days?"

"I used to live at the Su family's house, but a lot of things have happened there recently, so it's no longer suitable for me to stay there."

"What happened? They won't even let us stay here anymore?"

"I'm telling you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone."

"Who can I tell? You're the only person I know here."

"Something terrible has happened to the Su family. Su Daqiang was arrested for soliciting prostitutes, Su Xiaotian was drunk and sexually assaulted a waitress at the Jiangzhou International Hotel, and Old Master Su is also in trouble and his whereabouts are unknown."

Jiang Qian stared in astonishment, mouth agape. "How could so many things have happened?"

"Yes, the Su family is so afraid that these scandals will get out that they've dismissed all the bodyguards. I have no relatives or friends in Jiangzhou, and I really have nowhere to go."

Ye Kai deliberately made himself sound pitiful in an attempt to gain Jiang Qian's sympathy.

"What do you mean? You don't mean you want to stay here, do you?"

"If you don't take me in, I'll be sleeping on the streets!"

"Don't you have any money on you? I'll give you money to stay in a hotel."

"No, I can't stay in a hotel. I'm not used to staying in hotels. Besides, I don't earn money easily, so I can't spend it recklessly. I think your sofa is quite nice, so I'll just make do here for now."

"Ah, this?" Jiang Qian looked troubled.

"Please, Jiang Qian, take me in. I'll go out and look for a place tomorrow, and I'll move out as soon as I find a suitable one."

"Okay then, but it's not very comfortable on the sofa."

"It's okay, having a place is good enough!"

"Okay, let me show you the restroom."

Ye Kai followed Jiang Qian to the bathroom and suddenly hugged her from behind.
