Chapter 120: If you do not forsake me, I shall never abandon you!

"Of course," Ye Tianci said. "To others, it might be untreatable, but for me, it is not a problem."

"I can tell you both clearly: you will definitely have children of your own."

Xia Dong and Li Yanzhi were overjoyed. Xia Dong, in particular, was so excited he could hardly contain himself. As long as Li Yanzhi could conceive and give birth, regardless of the gender, his position as bank president would be secure.

After their meal, the couple couldn't wait for Ye Tianci to begin the treatment. Ye Tianci took out his silver needles and carefully inserted them into six acupuncture points on Li Yanzhi, including the Guanyuan and Qihai. He then placed his palm firmly against her lower back.

"Mrs. Xia, please bear with it."

As he spoke, a tremor passed through his palm. Li Yanzhi instantly felt a stinging, needle-like pain pierce through her back to the front, as if her entire body were being run through. Though it lasted only a split second, it was so painful that she couldn't help but scream, tears streaming down her face.

"Brother Ye," Xia Dong said, clearly distressed for his wife.

"Don't worry, she will be fine." Ye Tianci withdrew his hand and, a few minutes later, removed the needles.

"Mrs. Xia, how do you feel now?" Ye Tianci asked with a faint smile.

Li Yanzhi blinked, stood up, and swayed her waist. She said in surprise, "It's strange. It only hurt for that one moment, and now there is no pain at all. Moreover, my lower abdomen feels warm, as if I were soaking in a hot spring; it is incredibly comfortable."

Ye Tianci explained, "Your inability to conceive was caused by improper martial arts training in your youth, which damaged your meridians. I have cleared your meridians, but you still need to condition your body. I will prescribe some medicine; take it for a week, and you will be able to conceive and give birth just like any other woman."

"President Xia, your issue is mainly physical exhaustion. It is nothing serious, but you should also take medicine to condition your body."

With that, Ye Tianci took out paper and pen and wrote individual prescriptions for the couple. "After finishing the medicine, rest for ten days. Do not engage in intimacy during this time. At the latest, you will be able to conceive within a month," he added.

After collecting the prescriptions, Xia Dong was overwhelmed with gratitude. "Brother Ye, I really don't know how to thank you. I looked down on you so much before, yet not only did you not get angry, you repaid my rudeness with kindness to treat our illness. I am truly ashamed of myself!"

Li Yanzhi rolled her eyes at him. "Have you gone stupid from being a bank president? What good are words of thanks alone!"

Xia Dong realized his mistake and pulled out a bank card, pressing it into Ye Tianci’s hand. "Brother Ye, take this card. All the money inside is yours."

Shortly after, he and Li Yanzhi left, eager to get their medicine. Watching Ye Tianci with the bank card, Li Zhenhua sighed, "Old Xia is truly generous; he even gave you the Purple Dragon Card from Zhonghai Bank! Mr. Ye, you can walk through Shucheng with your head held high from now on!"

Ye Tianci held the purple bank card and smiled faintly. "Is this card that powerful?"

"Of course. It is not just a simple bank card; it is a symbol of status. Old Xia wouldn't even give this to me. Never mind, you will experience its value for yourself later."

The two chatted as they left the Wolong Hall, and Li Zhenhua personally drove Ye Tianci away.

Night soon fell. Across Douyin and various other platforms, news of what had happened at the Tiger Roar Villa spread through the local urban area. Though there were few videos, there were plenty of photos. Without exception, they all heralded the fall of the Qi family.

"The Shucheng Qi family has been wiped out? Is this for real?"

"It's true! A friend of mine went to the Tiger Roar Villa today for Qi Changling’s birthday celebration and was terrified by what he saw!"

"I heard the Qi family offended someone they shouldn't have, and they were taken down in one fell swoop!"

"I heard that too. First, the Qi family's mansion was sealed off and smashed to pieces. Then, while they were busy with their banquet, the heads of all their mines and businesses were secretly arrested and taken to the Tiger Roar Villa to be dealt with!"

"Qi Changling and his two sons are dead! The eldest son, Qi Dingtian, was the second-in-command of the Shucheng Sky Patrol Pavilion! The second son, Qi Dingfeng, was the deputy commander of the Nanzhou Theater! Even with such high-ranking status, they couldn't protect their family. God knows how powerful the person they offended is!"

"Is that real? That's terrifying!"

"Regardless of whether the details are true, the fact is that the Qi family is gone. From today on, the sky over Shucheng has truly changed!"

...

Online, the discussions were overwhelming, and everyone refreshed their feeds out of curiosity.

At that time, Ye Tianci was in the courtyard of Villa No. 6 at Minghu Fragrance Villa. He set up an incense table in the corner of the living room, lit a stick of incense, and whispered, "Mom, I have destroyed the Qi family. I have avenged our past grievances."

"My senior sister has gone after Duan Peng. I believe she will be able to break his silence and get news of you soon. As soon as I have word, no matter how far away you are, I will come to save you!"

After offering the incense, Ye Tianci walked outside and stared blankly at the night sky. Soft footsteps sounded as Lin Qingqian appeared behind him. She draped a thin coat over his shoulders and said gently, "The weather is starting to turn cold."

Ye Tianci turned back and gently took Lin Qingqian's hand. He felt a twinge of guilt, as he hadn't fully controlled himself earlier that day and had perhaps crossed the line with Zhuang Muqing.

"Qingqian, you and I are bound only by a marriage contract and had no emotional foundation before. I am very happy that you trust me and are willing to fulfill our engagement. Rest assured, I will make you the happiest woman in this lifetime!" Ye Tianci said with sincere eyes.

Lin Qingqian smiled softly. "It's too formal to say so much. When I went into the mountains to invite you, although I looked down on you at first, you surprised me step by step later on. I know I haven't chosen the wrong person. Tianci, as long as you do not leave me, I, Lin Qingqian, will never forsake you."

"Qingqian!" Moved, Ye Tianci pulled her into his arms. Lin Qingqian did not resist, allowing him to embrace her. The night wind was cool and refreshing. Under the night sky, their lips slowly drew closer. Just as their lips parted and their tongues were about to meet, the sound of brakes screeched at the gate—Lin Changli had returned.

The kiss was thwarted again. Ye Tianci was left speechless, and Lin Qingqian felt a sense of lingering disappointment. They greeted Lin Changli and watched him walk inside, losing the mood for kissing, fearing they might be interrupted again.

"Tianci, we have a class reunion tomorrow. Will you accompany me and Qin Nan?" Lin Qingqian asked.

"Your wish is my command, my lady," Ye Tianci laughed.

"We aren't even married yet, what are you calling me? I'll hit you!" Lin Qingqian playfully punched him.

They flirted for a while, both feeling exceptionally lighthearted. The night passed without incident, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

In the morning, Ye Tianci accompanied Lin Qingqian and Qin Nan to go shopping for some items. At noon, the three took a taxi to the Longxiang Hotel. Lin Qingqian had chosen not to drive her Rolls-Royce, finding it too conspicuous and fearing that arriving in such a car to a class reunion would lead to accusations of showing off.

Just as they stepped out of the taxi at the hotel entrance, someone called out to them.

"Lin Qingqian? Qin Nan? Why did you arrive by taxi?"

The speaker was a handsome young man dressed in designer clothes, with a young woman tucked into the crook of his arm.
