Although Liu Wentian was not willing to teach his Chinese dicine skills, Professor Yan was sowhat disappointed. However, making the acquaintance of such a divine dical practitioner was indeed a great fortune.
Liu Wentian gave his cell phone number to Professor Yan. Bai Ruguo said, "Liu Wentian, why are you in such a hurry to leave? No one is chasing you away. You've cured , so I'd like to invite you for a al as a token of my thanks. How about it?"
Liu Wentian said, "You've already paid for the treatnt, so there's no need for a al."
Bai Ruguo pouted with so dissatisfaction and said, "Liu Wentian, don't you realize that there's a long line of n outside waiting to invite to dinner and I can't be bothered with them? And here I am, taking the initiative to invite you, and you won't even give this bit of face?"
Having said that, she looked at Liu Wentian with a hopeful expression.
But Liu Wentian still shook his head. In his view, it was really not necessary; they weren't that close after all, and he was just treating illnesses for money.
"Ruge, perhaps Liu Wentian has other matters to attend to. If he doesn't wish to stay, let it be. If there's a chance in the future, we can invite him again," said Hong Jie, her face revealing a hint of worry as she continued, "We should hurry up and hire so more capable bodyguards. I always feel uneasy. Although the woman who threw sulfuric acid said she did it purely because she hates you, I have a feeling that things are not so simple."
Bai Ruguo nodded, feeling sowhat frightened, and said, "Yeah, I also think we should hire so powerful bodyguards. If it weren't for Liu Wentian this ti, my life would have truly been over."
Liu Wentian raised his eyebrows and said suddenly, "If you're looking for a bodyguard, how about ?"
"You want to be my bodyguard?"
Bai Ruguo and Hong Jie both looked at Liu Wentian in surprise.
Bai Ruguo sized up Liu Wentian for a mont and laughed, saying, "With your build, you don't look very muscular. I can't hire you as a bodyguard. Otherwise, I wouldn't know if you'd be protecting or I'd be protecting you."
Hong Jie also nodded in agreent, clearly concurring with Bai Ruguo's words. Although Bai Ruguo's comnt was an exaggeration, Liu Wentian didn't seem like soone who could be a bodyguard; at best, he looked like a healthy ordinary person.
Liu Wentian didn't argue. He just smiled faintly and picked up a chair from the ground.
The legs of the chair were made of iron. Liu Wentian gripped one and with a forceful twist, bent the iron leg into a U-shape.
Then Liu Wentian asked with a smile, "Your words just now seed to imply that I didn't look very strong. Now, having seen my strength, do you think I'm qualified to be your bodyguard?"
"This..."
Bai Ruguo and the others were astonished. Although the chair's iron legs were hollow, bending them by hand was simply impossible — no ordinary person could have such strength.
Bai Ruguo, excited, said, "Liu Wentian, so you're actually a master. That's great! I'm willing to hire you as my bodyguard. How much do you want for your salary?"
Liu Wentian said, "I'm asking for quite a lot; I need ten million."
He now had one million, and that was enough for dicinal materials for the ti being.
However, recalling what Li Chuyue had ntioned about her dream of owning a flower shop, he looked into it and learned that acquiring a large flower shop in a bustling area of Shenming City would require about ten million.
Bai Ruguo and the others were taken aback by Liu Wentian's bold demand.
Even as an annual salary, it was too high.
Those professional bodyguards who were once elite troops usually earned at most a few million a year, yet Liu Wentian was asking for ten million.
Red Sister gave a bitter smile and said, "Liu Wentian, your salary demand is simply too high."
Indifferent, Liu Wentian replied, "If you find it too expensive, then forget it."
In reality, ten million wasn't much for Bai Ruguo, but Liu Wentian's initial demand of ten million made her feel like he was greedy and rcenary. This feeling made her feel as if she had been deceived.
When she was most desperate, Liu Wentian, like a star descending from the heavens, saved her, pulling her into his embrace and applying miraculous dical skills to heal her face. With his sharply defined facial features and an indescribable aura about him, Liu Wentian was like the dreamy prince on a purple steed from her dreams, riding the purple horse from her dreams into the real world to save her.
And now, Liu Wentian's ssage was clear: "If you give ten million, I'll be your bodyguard; if not, then I quit."
A woman's heart, especially that of a young girl, is extrely sensitive. In an instant, the image of Liu Wentian as the prince on a purple steed crumbled in Bai Ruguo's heart.
Frustrated as if hating that iron could not beco steel, Bai Ruguo angrily said, "Your bodyguard service is too expensive. I can't afford it. You might as well leave!!"
Unconcerned, Liu Wentian nodded and then left, quickly disappearing from sight.
Seeing Liu Wentian actually walking away, Bai Ruguo stamped her foot in irritation and gritted her teeth, saying, "Damn it, such a rcenary ghost, actually leaving for real. How can he be so greedy? Why can't he be a bit more detached from worldly desires, why can't he just be a decent idol, it kills , ah, it kills !!"
Red Sister's face was a picture of shock; Bai Ruguo had always been dignified and graceful in front of others, and disdainful towards n. Why was she so out of character today? Even though Liu Wentian appeared rcenary and greedy, it wasn't their problem anyway.
Having left the hospital, it was almost noon, and Liu Wentian found a nearby restaurant to eat at.
Just as he sat down, he saw a familiar face—and that person was also looking at him in surprise.
"Liu Wentian, Brother, how co you are here??" The girl ran over, her face full of surprise as she asked.
This girl was none other than Zi Qing, who had been singing on the streets and was then harassed by a group of thugs.
Liu Wentian looked at the innocent and beautiful Zi Qing and smiled, saying, "What a coincidence, I'm here to eat, of course. Are you working here?"
He had just seen Zi Qing serve a dish at another table and say "please enjoy your al," so he asked this.
Zi Qing laughed shyly and said, "Yes. I work here as a waitress."
Liu Wentian nodded and then asked, "Have you been going out to sing on the streets recently?"
"I have, but I haven't gone to that place before," Zi Qing replied. "I chose a place with more people, so I'm not afraid of running into thugs now."
"Being in a place with lots of people doesn't an you won't encounter thugs. After all, nowadays most people only care about themselves. If real thugs appear, even if there are many people, if the thug is bold enough, I doubt anyone would dare to stand up for you. Anyway, you should be more careful about your safety when you go out singing on the streets in the evening."
Although he wasn't very familiar with her, Liu Wentian had a good impression of the pure and beautiful girl who was like a lotus, so he said a few more words.
Zi Qing smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Liu Wentian, I'll be careful. You're really a good person."
Then, Liu Wentian ordered a portion of braised pork, and Zi Qing went away.
A few minutes later, Zi Qing brought the braised pork and rice over to Liu Wentian's table.
Zi Qing smiled and said, "Brother Liu Wentian, I've already paid for the al, so consider this one on . I never got a chance to properly thank you the other day."
