Chapter 269: So You’re the Big Bad Wolf

Zhu Yanyi widened her eyes, looking at Yan Aohan. "Brother Yan, please don't pressure me. It’s not that I lack confidence. I know my own limits. I can achieve those eight characters. That is not boasting; I can truly do it. But I am just one person among many. I do not have such great charm that everyone focuses on me. Besides, sometimes a woman’s fate is caused by a man. Don’t you agree? Just listen to the endings of the four ancient beauties. Was any of it not caused by men? So, a woman’s final fate actually depends on a man’s attitude. For example, if a woman uses special tricks, but the man does not fall for it, then her trick is useless, isn’t it?"

Yan Aohan laughed again, a strange expression appearing on his face. "That makes sense. But rest assured, I am not that kind of person."

Zhu Yanyi was speechless. Why are you explaining this to me? She did not understand why Yan Aohan suddenly said such things. She could only laugh dryly, sighing that a man’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, hard to guess.

"Um… Brother Yan, please stop at the turn ahead. I want to buy breakfast for Grandpa Yao. I didn’t make breakfast today, so I have to buy some. There is a health porridge shop at the corner. Although it smells strongly of medicine, it is still edible." Zhu Yanyi dropped the previous topic immediately. She did not understand what Yan Aohan meant, and continuing the conversation seemed pointless. Besides, she genuinely wanted to bring breakfast for Grandpa Yao.

Yan Aohan smiled and did not continue the topic. He seemed to filed it away without dwelling. Following Zhu Yanyi’s directions, he stopped at the corner. Zhu Yanyi quickly went over, bought two portions of breakfast, and returned. She handed one to Yan Aohan. "Although you are faster than me, I think you are only slightly faster. You probably haven’t eaten breakfast. This one is for you."

Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi, nodded, and said, "Thank you." He accepted the breakfast and then drove Zhu Yanyi to the Capital Hospital.

Watching Zhu Yanyi enter the main gate of the Capital Hospital, Yan Aohan turned his gaze to the breakfast beside him. He picked it up, opened it, and began to eat slowly.

Zhu Yanyi gave the breakfast to Grandpa Yao. As soon as he opened it, he frowned. "You didn’t make this." Having grown used to Zhu Yanyi’s cooking, eating anything else felt unpleasant.

"There was an accident this morning, and I didn’t have time to cook. I ate outside breakfast myself. This one is even more carefully chosen than mine. I went specifically to buy it." Zhu Yanyi spread her hands, looking helpless. "The health porridge is not bad. Except for the strong medicine smell, it is okay. Just make do with it."

Although Grandpa Yao complained, he did not waste the food. He finished the breakfast and then began to prepare the surgical tools. "Ani, you will supervise the golden needles later. I will perform the acupuncture. If anything is wrong, you tell me." In theory, Grandpa Yao had already mastered the Thirteen Needles of Reviving the Dead Wood, but he had never actually performed this technique. That was why he spoke to Zhu Yanyi this way.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. There was no need for modesty at this moment. "Okay, I will pay attention." Zhu Yanyi agreed directly. This was not Zhu Yanyi showing off in front of Grandpa Yao. The Thirteen Needles of Reviving the Dead Wood was indeed difficult to master. Moreover, using golden needles required great finger flexibility. Grandpa Yao’s fingers were skilled, but they could not match the flexibility of a young person’s.
