The money had only been on the card for a short while, and it hadn’t even had time to “warm up.”
Huang Quan’s face contorted with genuine pain as she pushed the card toward Ye Qin. This wasn’t just an act; it was a real and palpable discomfort.
Ye Qin observed her. While he didn’t know the specifics, he could tell it wasn’t physical discomfort. As long as she wasn’t unwell, everything else could be discussed.
“We don’t have that many items in the house,” Ye Qin pushed the card back and said, “I’ll have someone send them over.”
“We need to spend the money,” Huang Quan intercepted the card and pushed it back, looking at Ye Qin seriously. “You can’t save 400 million.”
This money had to be spent. Only by spending it could Baby be appeased; otherwise, she would undoubtedly keep demanding until she had spent the entire 400 million!
“Quanquan, your expression doesn’t look good…” Ye Qin suppressed a smile and remarked, “It seems very painful.”
“I know,” Huang Quan looked at Ye Qin and forced a smile. “I believe you understand.”
Ye Qin sighed softly, glanced at the card, and extended his hands. With his long and beautiful fingers, he picked up the card and stowed it away in Huang Quan’s sight.
“Quanquan, wait a moment.” After Ye Qin finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the small courtyard.
Huang Quan watched him leave and sighed, losing the inclination to use life energy to nurture the elixir.
“Quanquan,” Baby saw the man who left through Huang Quan’s eyes. After detecting the lingering deathly aura on him, Baby was extremely surprised. “The deathly aura on him is so strong!” Before Huang Quan could say anything, Baby continued, “Quanquan, I’m sorry.”
Perplexed, Huang Quan asked, “Sorry for what?”
“I misunderstood you,” Baby admitted seriously. “I thought you liked him and ignored me, but now it seems that I misunderstood. I believe you only fell in love with him because of the deathly aura in him, not because of the person he is.”
Huang Quan had no choice but to respond, “Sorry, you got it right. I just fell in love with him.”
“Quanquan, you can collect the deathly aura from him to suppress the life energy,” Baby generously suggested. “Don’t worry; I now understand why you like him. I won’t be jealous.”
Huang Quan sighed, feeling exhausted.
“Quanquan?”
“Yes,” she replied, enduring the fatigue. “You said it; I’m listening.”
“I won’t say more; I believe you know what you know,” Baby declared. After a pause, Baby continued, “But I’m curious as to why he has so much deathly aura on his body? He’s a living person, so logically, he shouldn’t have deathly aura.”
Huang Quan sighed, “It’s a long story.”
Baby retorted, “You can keep it short.”
Huang Quan hesitated and then explained, “…curse.”
Baby waited for the next words, but after a while, there was no sound. Baby frowned, “No?”
Huang Quan replied, “No.”
“You’re too short,” Baby said. “Quanquan, you’ve changed.”
Huang Quan retorted, “You have become worse. It’s gone.”
Baby sadly remarked, “You would never do this to me before.”
Huang Quan twitched the corner of her mouth and explained, “The deathly aura on his body is because of a curse, and I don’t know anything else.”
Upon hearing this, Baby stored away her performance and commented, “If it’s truly a curse, then his condition is very dire. Only by sacrificing countless lives can such a powerful curse be born!”
“He’s investigating it himself,” Huang Quan said. “There are no clues at the moment. It’s too far back to mention those things.”
“Oh,” Baby responded, changing the topic. “Quanquan, how are you doing?”
Huang Quan replied, “Very good.”
“I have to sleep for a while,” Baby sighed. “I can’t come out to accompany you for the time being.”
