"Let go of me!" Wan Ruo struggled and said.
Bai Chen's hand tightly grasped Wan Ruo's wrist and showed no sign of letting go.
"Let... go of me!" Before Wan Ruo could finish.
Bai Chen couldn't help but kiss her.
Wan Ruo was stunned and almost lost herself. After all, who could resist the temptation of such a peerless beauty?
But then she thought, who was that man who inexplicably wanted to kill her last night, and who was the musician they mentioned? What was their relationship with him? If they had a special relationship, then what was she? And what did his actions towards her mean?
Thinking of this, Wan Ruo instantly sobered up. She forcefully pushed Bai Chen away and vigorously wiped her lips with her arm.
What do you mean by wiping your lips? Bai Chen frowned tightly, with a black line on his face. He grabbed Wan Ruo's wrist and pulled her back into his arms again. With his other hand, he pressed on her neck and kissed her lips forcefully.
No matter how much Wan Ruo struggled, Bai Chen didn't let go. It was not until Wan Ruo was so angry that crystal tears welled up and slid down her cheeks that Bai Chen reluctantly let her go.
Wan Ruo angrily stepped forward and slapped him. Immediately after, she regretted it.
Bai Chen took the slap squarely and looked at her meaningfully.
She quickly got up and said angrily, "Just go. I don't want to see you now!"
Seeing Wan Ruo's abnormal behavior, Bai Chen deliberately asked, "Do you dislike me so much now?"
What nonsense! How could anyone dislike such a handsome face! She just didn't want to be someone else's substitute.
"Yes!" Wan Ruo was extremely conflicted inside. Finally, she mustered up the courage and said it out firmly.
Seeing Wan Ruo's determination, Bai Chen couldn't help but ask, "Oh? Really? Since when?"
Since when? Does this even need to be asked? Isn't it since the name of that musician woman appeared!
"It's none of your business. Anyway, just go! Go right now, quickly!" While saying, Wan Ruo pushed Bai Chen and forced him out of the door. Then she slammed the door shut with a bang.
After that, she slowly opened the door and sat on the ground, her heart aching as if being stabbed by a knife.
Bai Chen naturally understood the reason for Wan Ruo's anger. He just didn't want to mention the name of the musician woman and his sordid past again.
He left. Wan Ruo's heart skipped a beat. Did he give up so easily? Didn't he have anything to explain? It seems that she really meant nothing to him!
On the other hand, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the imperial physician had already examined Prime Minister Wei and confirmed that he had a rare disease.
"This disease is really rare. But I've checked the previous medical books and have already prepared the prescription. However, we're still short of a medicinal primer!" the imperial physician said to Mrs. Su.
"This medicine needs human blood as a primer to be most effective!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Su frowned tightly. She had never heard of such a method before. It was too cruel!
However, Qin Manman happened to overhear the imperial physician's words. After much hesitation, she thought this might be her best chance.
She suddenly walked out from the side and said to the imperial physician, "I'm willing. I'm willing to use my blood as the primer to save Father's illness!"
As soon as she said this, both Mrs. Su and the imperial physician were shocked.
"Are you sure? This is very harmful to your body!" the imperial physician confirmed again.
Qin Manman nodded affirmatively.
"That's great. If someone volunteers, we can start the treatment right away!" the imperial physician said happily to Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su nodded with a perfunctory smile. In fact, she was very reluctant. But thinking that it was just an adopted daughter and since she volunteered, let it be. As long as the master got better, who cared about her life or death!
Then the imperial physician led Qin Manman to draw blood.
When Mrs. Su brought the medicinal soup to Prime Minister Wei, he asked, "Whose blood was used as the primer?"
"What? What primer? Master, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Su originally wanted to hide it, but she didn't know that Prime Minister Wei had heard every word of the conversation between her and the imperial physician clearly.
"You don't need to hide it from me. It was Manman's blood, wasn't it?" Prime Minister Wei asked directly.
Hearing her father's words, Wei Qingshan was instantly stunned. Oh my god, was there really someone so cruel to herself in the world? Even as his daughter, she couldn't compare. This kind of person was so terrifying!
Seeing that Mrs. Su didn't say a word, Prime Minister Wei immediately got angry and said, "You're so stupid! How could you let her do such a dangerous thing?"
"She volunteered, Master. Don't worry about it!" Mrs. Su tried to persuade him.
Hearing this, Prime Minister Wei got even angrier and shouted, "All of you get out, get out! ... And, call Manman in!"
Both Wei Qingshan and Mrs. Su retreated.
Hearing that the little slut was going to be called in, Mrs. Su's mood instantly soured. She hated her even more.
Taking advantage of everyone's departure, Prime Minister Wei quietly poured the medicinal soup into the flowerpot. Then he quietly lay back on the bed.
Qin Manman tiptoed into the room. Seeing Prime Minister Wei's pale face, she felt that he was seriously ill.
"Manman, come and sit down quickly!"
Qin Manman pulled a chair and sat beside the bed. Prime Minister Wei saw the blood oozing from the bandage on Qin Manman's wrist and asked with some distress, "Silly girl, does it hurt?"
At this moment, Qin Manman obediently shook her head with a smile and whispered, "It doesn't hurt. Manman can't do much for Father. Doing this little thing makes Manman feel very satisfied!"
Prime Minister Wei saw that although Qin Manman looked obedient on the surface, there was a hint of determination in her bones. He also noticed the wound on her forehead. Although it was covered by her hair, it could still be seen if one looked carefully.
Seeing Prime Minister Wei's gaze on her forehead, the already self - conscious Qin Manman instinctively dodged and pulled her hair down to cover it.
"You look so delicate on the surface, but unexpectedly, you're quite strong - willed inside! I didn't misjudge you. You're really worthy of being my daughter!" Prime Minister Wei praised.
Qin Manman listened obediently.
"Don't worry. Since you've thought so much about me, I won't treat you badly. I'll find a way to remove the scar on your face. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. I'll stand up for you!" Prime Minister Wei said sincerely.
Qin Manman was very happy to hear that there might be a way to heal the scar on her face, but she didn't have high hopes. After all, he was still in bed, struggling with his own illness.
"Thank you, Father. Manman has no parents now. You're the only family Manman has! As long as you need Manman, I'll never hesitate!"
Hearing what Qin Manman said, Prime Minister Wei nodded even more gratifyingly.
At night, Prime Minister Wei ordered someone to guard outside and not allow anyone to disturb his rest. After giving the instructions, he directly went through a secret passage to a secret room to meet the man in the white mask.
"Didn't I tell you to pretend to be ill? Why did you come out?" the mysterious man said coldly.
