Yan Mu admitted defeat, his gaze sweeping over the little brats, and said, "You win, I lose."
A chuckle spread around the table of adults.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was relaxed and full of topics; everyone talked while they ate.
After dinner, Ye Siyuan called Yan Zhenxi and said, "My sister-in-law said your uncle’s illness can be completely cured. It won’t develop into a stroke, so you can be at ease."
Yan Zhenxi did trust Si Mingjing’s dical skills, but how could any child feel truly at ease when their parents were ill?
Ye Siyuan said, "Why don’t you also co and stay in Yecheng for a while? Didn’t you say you wanted to wean your baby? If you stay here for a bit, it’ll be easier for the child to wean without seeing you, and you can take a break. It’s exhausting to be around the child all day."
Yan Zhenxi was actually persuaded; it was indeed ti for her child to be weaned.
"Alright, I’ll pack up and head over the day after tomorrow."
Yan Zhenxi was swift to act and indeed bought a plane ticket to Yecheng for the day after tomorrow. By coincidence, she ended up on the sa flight as her first love, Xia Man, and both were in first class.
Ye Siyuan drove to the airport to pick them up. Upon seeing Xia Man and Yan Zhenxi erge from the exit together, she was a bit puzzled.
Did these two co together?
Ye Siyuan rembered that after Yan Zhenxi got married, she always avoided eting Xia Man. Could she have let go of it now?
Ye Siyuan waved at them. "Cousin, Zhenxi."
Xia Man was Ye Siyuan’s maternal cousin, her maternal uncle’s son.
Xia Man, carrying both their suitcases, walked toward Ye Siyuan.
Ye Siyuan gave Yan Zhenxi a bear hug and took the opportunity to whisper in her ear, "What’s going on? Why did you co with my cousin? Have you and my cousin finally eloped? Then what about my paternal cousin?"
Xia Man was her maternal cousin, and Ye Qinghan was her paternal cousin. She didn’t want to offend either side.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We just happened to be on the sa flight."
"Oh, oh, that’s what I thought."
Once Ye Siyuan was sure they hadn’t eloped, she relaxed. After letting go of Yan Zhenxi, she asked Xia Man, "Cousin, why are you here?"
"My uncle assigned a task."
Si Mingjing wanted blood samples from two mbers of the Vampire Clan. Ye Junqing had called Xia Man, who was also a vampire, to handle it; he was here to deliver the samples.
"I see. Let’s get in the car then."
Ye Siyuan had driven there herself. The three of them headed to the parking lot. Ye Siyuan tossed the car keys to Xia Man and pulled Yan Zhenxi into the back seat for a private chat.
As they talked about Ye Siyuan’s fiancé, Xia Man, who was driving, said, "Who’s your fiancé? I haven’t t him yet."
"His na is Si Lisao, Cousin. I’ll introduce you when I get engaged."
Xia Man nodded. "What’s he like?"
Ye Siyuan boasted, "How could anyone I like be bad? Cousin, you’re not getting any younger. When are you planning to get married? Want to introduce soone to you?"
Xia Man’s gaze flitted to the rearview mirror, catching the clearly uncomfortable expression on Yan Zhenxi’s face.
Xia Man unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said, "I’m busy with work. I have no ti for that at the mont."
"You should consider it. Aren’t Uncle and Aunt eager?"
Ye Siyuan felt that only if her maternal cousin, Xia Man, also married would the marriage of her paternal cousin, Ye Qinghan, and Zhenxi be thoroughly secure. Therefore, she urged Xia Man to find soone quickly.
Xia Man did not continue the topic.
When the car pulled up to the villa near the palace, Ye Siyuan said, "Cousin, wait here for a mont. We’ll get off first, and you can drive my car back to the palace."
Yan Zhenxi’s parents lived in this villa.
Xia Man got out of the car, opened the trunk, and helped Yan Zhenxi with her luggage.
Yan Zhenxi’s suitcase was very heavy, so the two won didn’t try to be strong; they let Xia Man carry it to the villa’s entrance.
Upon reaching the villa’s entrance, they happened to run into Yan Mu coming out through the main gate.
The mont Yan Mu saw Xia Man, he clenched his fists tightly and growled, "What are you doing here? How co you’re with my sister?"
Yan Zhenxi had a crush on Xia Man, and the two were childhood sweethearts. Everyone had thought they would end up as a couple made in heaven, but Xia Man eventually refused to marry Yan Zhenxi, which greatly angered Yan Mu. Every ti he saw Xia Man, he felt like beating him to a pulp.
At this mont, Yan Mu’s hands were already balled into fists.
Thankfully, Yan Zhenxi stopped him in ti. "What are you shouting about? We just happened to be on the sa flight. Hurry up and help your sister with her luggage."
"Is that all?" Yan Mu wore a look of disbelief.
Yan Zhenxi rolled her eyes. "What else?"
Yan Mu snorted, took the luggage from Xia Man’s hands with a very poor attitude, and said, "Get lost, or I’ll kill you!"
Xia Man didn’t say anything, turned, walked back to his car, and drove away.
Xia Man arrived at the Ye Family’s palace and handed Si Mingjing a container holding blood samples from two distinct vampire systems. Si Mingjing was very grateful.
"Prosecutor Xia, thank you very much."
"You’re welco. I heard you wanted to use them for research. I hope your research is successful and that it will rid of the desire to suck blood in the future, so drinking waterlon juice every day will be enough."
Si Mingjing wasn’t very confident, but she said, "I’ll do my best."
The two didn’t exchange many pleasantries before Xia Man said, "I’m going to see my aunt."
"Sure, go ahead."
Si Mingjing took the blood samples to Yecheng University. The Traditional dicine Research Institute, established by her master, Ban Chugang, and Academician Zhou, was located within Yecheng University. She handed the blood samples to Master Ban, hoping he could find the differences between the two.
After leaving, she happened to run into Dean Chen on campus.
Dean Chen had been stopped by a female student, and they were discussing sothing. Si Mingjing greeted Dean Chen from a distance and was about to leave when Dean Chen waved at her, signaling her to co over.
Si Mingjing walked over to Dean Chen and greeted him, "Dean Chen, what a coincidence."
"Director Si, your timing is perfect. Let introduce soone to you. This is a student from your departnt, Mu Genggeng."
Si Mingjing served as the director of the Traditional Chinese dicine departnt at Yecheng University, so Dean Chen called her Director Si.
Si Mingjing looked up at Mu Genggeng, her expression aningful.
Although she already knew that Song Pianlan’s soul might dwell inside Mu Genggeng, she had never t Mu Genggeng in person. This was their first face-to-face eting.
The Mu Genggeng in front of her was vibrant and strikingly beautiful; it was no wonder she had quickly beco a celebrity at school.
Si Mingjing’s lips curled up slightly. "I know her. Is there sothing you need?"
"It’s like this," said Dean Chen. "Student Mu Genggeng has a great talent for dicine. She wants to attend Professor Zhang’s classes, but she was unable to enroll despite several attempts. So, she took the initiative to audit Professor Zhang’s lectures in her free ti. However, Professor Zhang doesn’t allow auditing. Student Mu Genggeng is a very motivated student."
The Professor Zhang he referred to was her master, Zhang ii.
Si Mingjing chuckled inwardly. Her master had indeed complained to her on the phone about this, saying Mu Genggeng constantly tried to display her superiority in class.
