I insist

Chapter 163: Hostility

When she heard that Yu Huailin was too busy to come, Wu Hanxue felt a pang of disappointment. She lowered her eyes and her lips pursed unconsciously.

But she was still unwilling to give up and looked up to ask more questions. When she saw Song Miqiu go to Ming Taicheng to observe the preparation of medicine, she lifted her skirt with both hands and followed Song Miqiu with long strides.

"he……"

Wu Hanxue had barely uttered a single syllable when Song Miqiu suddenly said to Ming Taicheng, "I'm leaving now."

Song Miqiu knew that Ming Taicheng was not in the mood to pay attention to her, so she might as well leave as soon as possible and give Ming Taicheng some space to study the medicine.

In his opinion, Ming Taicheng should be the one to prepare the medicine.

"You left so early?" Ming Taicheng took a moment to look up at Song Miqiu, his tone somewhat surprised. He was busy preparing the dosage of the medicine with both hands as he asked.

"Why don't you sit here some more? I'll finish preparing the medicine soon, and then you can see how effective it is, won't you?"

Song Miqiu shook her head, placed her hands on the side, and waved her hand with a smile, "I trust your medical skills. Besides, you certainly wouldn't harm these people; you would definitely help them for their own good, wouldn't you?"

“That’s true!” Ming Taicheng smiled, sweat slowly beading on his forehead. Yan Yufan thoughtfully took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Ming Taicheng’s forehead.

He returned to Song Miqiu's side and asked in a low voice, "Are you really leaving? Don't you need to stay here a little longer?"

“This has nothing to do with me. I just came to check on the progress of the drug trial. Now that I see that the patients’ conditions are very stable, I know that Mingtaicheng’s drug trial progress has been very stable.” Song Miqiu shook his head and told Yan Yufan his opinion.

After all, this illness is no small matter, and the slightest mistake during the drug trial could easily lead to death.

She had already spoken to Ming Taicheng about the number of trial participants. When she and Ming Taicheng were checking on the patients earlier, she had secretly counted them and found that none of them had been injured.

This also shows that Ming Taicheng is quite cautious in its drug trials.

Since that's the case, why should she worry? She might as well hand everything over to Ming Taicheng and do other things herself.

Wu Hanxue didn't even have a chance to interject. She stood there blankly, opened her mouth, looked in the direction the two of them had left, and pursed her lips.

Seeing that Song Miqiu was determined to leave, Ming Taicheng did not try to persuade her to stay any longer.

He himself didn't have much time to receive Song Miqiu.

After the two left the Ming residence, Yan Yufan stood in front of the carriage and turned to invite Song Miqiu to get in.

Seeing this, the latter smiled helplessly and shook her head. She knew that Yan Yufan would not let go of the opportunity to send her back.

She stopped refusing, lifted her skirt, bent down, and got into the carriage.

"This time he didn't refuse." Yan Yufan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Song Miqiu glanced at the other person and slightly raised her chin. "I didn't refuse, did I? You don't need to waste your breath trying to persuade me to come up, do you?"

“Indeed.” Yan Yufan smiled and nodded. He held the folding fan tightly in his hand before bending down and striding up to lean against the outside of the carriage, giving instructions to the driver.

The carriage moved slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, it finally appeared at the door of the house.

Song Miqiu turned his head and looked out the carriage window. Seeing that they had arrived at their destination, he lifted the curtain and bent down to get off the carriage.

"Be careful." Yan Yufan reached out his hand in Song Miqiu's direction and whispered, "I forgot to prepare a low ladder. It's a bit high."

"It's nothing." Song Miqiu waved her hand and nimbly jumped down from the carriage.

When Yan Yufan was so frightened that he quickly reached out to help Song Miqiu, someone had already landed steadily and placed their hand on the other's chest, saying, "No need, I can stand."

Not far away.

Yu Huailin stood there watching this scene. He knew when Song Miqiu would leave the palace, so he had been waiting for a long time. However, he did not expect to wait for almost an hour and a half before he saw a carriage slowly approaching in this direction.

He saw the carriage clearly and his face darkened for a moment.

If Yu Huailin remembered correctly, the carriage in front of him belonged to the Yan family.

He had assumed Yan Yufan had come to find Song Miqiu and was just about to find an excuse to send him away when he saw Song Miqiu getting off the Yan family's carriage.

The two turned around, and Song Miqiu noticed that Yu Huailin was looking in their direction with a cold expression.

She was stunned. She blinked and saw that Yu Huailin's hostility was very obvious. She followed his gaze and looked up and found that Yu Huailin's hostile gaze was on Yan Yufan.

The wary look on his face was as if he thought his appearance was attractive enough to catch the other person's eye.

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu lowered her head with a headache and put her hand on her forehead.

Before she could do anything, she heard a steady footstep. Song Miqiu looked up and saw Yu Huailin standing in front of her.

"you……"

Just as Song Miqiu was about to say something, she noticed that Yu Huailin had moved closer to her. He was a little taller than Yan Yufan, and his position made him look like a wall of flesh, preventing Yan Yufan from seeing Song Miqiu at all.

"Oh, there's no need."

Song Miqiu was very puzzled by Yu Huailin's behavior. She reached out and tugged at the back of Yu Huailin's clothes, making him turn around and look at her.

She glanced at Yan Yufan to make sure he couldn't see her, then raised her index finger to her face and communicated with him in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"What are you doing? With my looks, what young gentleman would like me?"

Yu Huailin frowned after hearing this. He turned back to look at Yan Yufan warily and retorted in a low voice, "Isn't there a ready-made one?"

"They were just being kind by bringing me back."

Yu Huailin didn't believe it; he always had a feeling that Yan Yufan had developed feelings for Song Miqiu.

Helpless, Song Miqiu turned around. She was about to walk around Yu Huailin and explain to Yan Yufan when Yu Huailin grabbed her wrist.

"What are you doing?" Song Miqiu exclaimed, turning her head to look at the other person in confusion.

Yu Huailin did not respond to Song Miqiu's words. He grabbed Song Miqiu's arm with one hand and nodded slightly to Yan Yufan. "I thank Young Master Yan for bringing him back. It is getting late now, Young Master Yan should return to the Yan residence to rest as soon as possible."

"It's nothing..." Yan Yufan wanted to say that he could stay here for a while to discuss his father's heart condition with Song Miqiu.

But Yu Huailin had already grabbed Song Miqiu's hand and quickly left the place. If he still didn't understand what the other party meant, then he would really be a fool.

Yan Yufan stared blankly at their departing figures, feeling utterly helpless.

As a man himself, he could sense that Yu Huailin's hostility towards him was very deep.

He was somewhat puzzled, wondering when he had offended the other party.

But since the other party didn't seem to like him, he didn't stay there any longer and turned to get into his carriage and leave.
