“He’s not in a hurry. He can wait for a while and spend a little more money to get the same result.
Ye Haisheng didn’t like the attitude with which Qin Mian said these things, as if Ye Haisheng needed to rely on the Qin family’s charity to obtain these potions.
“If you’re really capable and really care about me, you should ask me to buy potions that I can’t get,” Ye Haisheng said frankly, “Is it right to do favors with things that anyone else can buy?”
“I… I’m sorry,” Qin Mian lowered his head slightly, tugging at his clothes corner.
Qin Mian didn’t think Ye Haisheng was wrong in what he said. The other side was telling the truth. Ye Haisheng didn’t really lack those potions and could buy them. However, the old man and the others weren’t willing to give him better potions, mainly because Ye Haisheng wasn’t part of the Qin family. They wanted to keep the potions for the Qin family members.
And Qin Mian’s talent for making potions wasn’t that high. Although he was a potion master now and could make quite a few potions, he was mostly good at making mid-to-low-grade potions. There were very few intermediate-level potions, and most of them were low-grade potions.
In order to promote the excellence of the Qin family’s merpeople and to stand out among the Qin family’s merpeople, Qin Mian had put a lot of effort into promoting his own reputation.
Qin Mian resented this. His innate talent for transforming merpeople wasn’t as high as before. Bate wasn’t an Alpha, and the Qin family had turned Bate into a merperson. Of course, they also left a few Bate who hadn’t undergone the merperson transformation surgery.
Why leave a few? It was all for appearances, to make those people believe that the Qin family members could also give birth to ordinary people. If they were all Alphas, Betas, and Omegas, it would raise suspicions.
Even if others were already suspicious, they still had to put on a facade.
Qin Mian’s gaze flickered slightly. Perhaps he should bring something more useful for Ye Haisheng. Just bringing those things might not satisfy him.
“Why act so weak? Have I been bullying you?” Ye Haisheng shook off Qin Mian’s hand, creating distance between them. “Do they have to force me to apologize to you before the wedding?”
“No, it’s not like that.” Qin Mian had long become accustomed to Ye Haisheng’s attitude. If he hadn’t managed to remove Yu Ren back then, he wouldn’t have been able to be with Ye Haisheng. He had stolen this position, so he was willing to endure Ye Haisheng’s displeasure. Over time, Ye Haisheng would naturally understand his virtues. “Brother Haisheng, my grandfather has obtained two potions that can enhance esper potential. My grandfather cares for me and will give them to me.”
“People should take responsibility for their words,” Ye Haisheng reminded Qin Mian. If you say something, you should follow through with it.
Ye Haisheng was using Qin Mian, and there were many people in the Ye family. Even if he married Qin Mian, he might not be able to obtain high-grade potions. He had heard that the Qin family had gathered ingredients and had advanced potion masters prepare potions to enhance esper potential. He hadn’t said it directly, but he believed Qin Mian understood his meaning.
Sure enough, Qin Mian quickly grasped his intention.
“Well,” Qin Mian nodded vigorously.
“Actually, besides wanting to become the third wheel and aiming for a higher position, you have other qualities,” Ye Haisheng sincerely stated, “You are very sensible.”
Yes, at this moment, Qin Mian was indeed sensible. Ye Haisheng continued, “Remember, you’ll be someone’s wife.”
“I’ll be Brother Haisheng’s wife,” Qin Mian blushed slightly. He was Ye Haisheng’s wife. Ye Haisheng definitely cared for him, otherwise, he wouldn’t say such things. This was an expression of Alpha’s possessiveness towards their belongings.
Qin Mian believed that his efforts were bearing fruit. As long as he worked hard, treated Ye Haisheng well, and did better than Yu Ren, he could replace Yu Ren’s position and surpass him.
Yu Ren was merely able to prepare some potions. He hadn’t even grown up… Qin Mian was thinking this when he heard Ye Haisheng’s words.
“If Ren were here, he would definitely be able to prepare better potions and become a great potion master in the future,” Ye Haisheng said disdainfully, “You can’t compare to him!”
“I will work hard,” Qin Mian clenched his teeth. Even though he didn’t have Yu Ren’s talent, over time, he could still grow and develop. He used to be someone who could only prepare mid-to-low-grade potions in Ye Haisheng’s memories, inferior to him.
How could Qin Mian not know that it’s difficult for a living person to surpass a dead person? But a living person could plan other things, while a dead person couldn’t.
Whatever Yu Ren could give Ye Haisheng, he, Qin Mian, could achieve as well.
“You just work hard,” Ye Haisheng mocked, “Sometimes, no matter how hard you work, you can’t surpass someone with natural talent. Ren had great talent, and he worked so hard back then.”
“But he still betrayed you,” Qin Mian said, “I won’t!”
Qin Mian reminded Ye Haisheng that Yu Ren had taken the money and left, betraying Ye Haisheng.
“That’s also because of you,” Ye Haisheng replied, “You were in such a hurry to become the third wheel and you’re from a noble family, a merperson. What else could he do?”
Thinking like this, Ye Haisheng felt much better. Yu Ren betrayed him, perhaps there were other reasons behind it.
“…” Qin Mian looked at Ye Haisheng softly and weakly. He was a merperson, so he had to use the advantages of being a merperson. How could he foolishly watch the person he liked being with someone else?
In any case, no matter what, Ye Haisheng was going to have a wedding with him. Others had no hope. Even if Ye Haisheng wanted to be with someone else, those people were just hidden lovers who couldn’t show themselves, and he wouldn’t let them stay by Ye Haisheng’s side.
While Ye Haisheng and Qin Mian were preparing for their wedding, Xia Zhiyan received a call from his mother. His mother was asking for money.
“These two months’ living expenses, did you forget to send them?” Xia Zhiyan’s mother asked directly. The old Xia Zhiyan had already severed ties with his original family. He used to send some money back every month, but he couldn’t do more and couldn’t give more.
For this reason, the original Xia Zhiyan even signed an agreement with his original family under a lawyer’s witness. Unless his parents were seriously ill, they couldn’t ask him for more money.
The current Xia Zhiyan had inherited the memories of the original owner but hadn’t remembered his family. He only remembered his family when his mother called.
