My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 42: Don’t Let Me Wait Until I’m Old and Yellow!

Lin Qingxuan, however, frowned. "Uncle Lei, if I were you, I wouldn’t hide my illness and refuse treatment."

Lei Qingtian scoffed. "’Refuse treatment?’ Is he even a doctor?"

"Miss Lin, let’s talk another time. I’m not in a good mood today. I’ll be going." Lei Qingtian had a fiery temper and didn’t even show Lin Qingxuan any courtesy. With a flick of his sleeves, he left.

"You’ll come looking for me," Yang Qi said with a smile.

"Bullshit! I wouldn’t come to you, you charlatan, even if I were on my deathbed!" Lei Qingtian shouted angrily as he departed.

"Yang Qi, don’t be upset. You’re too young, so it’s inevitable that he’d look down on you. Besides, as the Prefecture Master of Jingnan, he’s used to being flattered. He got angry simply because you treated him like any other patient," Lin Qingxuan said comfortingly, watching Lei Qingtian’s retreating figure.

"I’m not upset. I just think it’s a pity. That man has a decent reputation in Jingnan Prefecture. If he ends up with a quack, I’m afraid he won’t have long to live," Yang Qi sighed.

"Are you that confident?" Lin Qingxuan asked.

"Don’t you believe me?" Yang Qi countered.

"I do!" Lin Qingxuan nodded. "Don’t worry, I’ll have someone keep an eye on him. I’ll notify you immediately if anything happens."

"Alright, you should get back to your business. I’ll be going now," Yang Qi said.

"In such a hurry? Can’t you stay for a cup of tea?" Lin Qingxuan asked, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

"If I don’t stay busy, how will I earn the fortune needed to marry you?" In the past, Yang Qi would never have dared to say something so direct, but now he had the capital to back it up.

"Aren’t you afraid? If you want to marry me, you’ll face opposition from Jingzhou. You might even have to provoke the Divine Child! The Divine Child is a terrifying existence, far beyond your imagination. He’s away at the moment; otherwise, he probably would have come to kill you the moment he found out you were pursuing me!" Lin Qingxuan said with a laugh. She was no longer shy. The more time she spent with him, the more she discovered his good qualities. Why resist? She liked this man!

"So what if it’s Jingzhou? So what if it’s the Divine Child?" Yang Qi declared confidently. "I believe I can surpass them, and I believe I can protect you!" If he couldn’t even protect Lin Qingxuan, what right did he have to pursue this woman?

"Well then, I’ll be looking forward to your performance," Lin Qingxuan said with a sweet smile. "But don’t make me wait until I’m old and my beauty has faded."

"I won’t!" Yang Qi took a deep breath. He was already striding swiftly toward that goal.

Yang Qi didn’t return to his residence; instead, he went to the company to find Ye Fei.

"Come on, we’re going to buy a house!" he said. He had promised to help Ye Fei get his old villa back, but an investigation revealed it had already been demolished. It was useless to reclaim it now, so he decided to buy him a new one. A friend like this was a rare find. Besides, the Qifei Group would have to rely on Ye Fei in the future, as he didn’t have much time to manage company affairs himself.

"Buy a house for me?" Ye Fei was stunned.

"Of course. Consider it a company benefit. As the president, you can’t live in a hotel forever," Yang Qi said with a smile. Without letting Ye Fei protest further, he hailed a taxi and went directly to Kang City’s most upscale residential area—Qin and Chu National Style.

"No way, why are we here? Qin and Chu National Style is a community of mainly villas. It’s the most high-end residential area in all of Kang City. Even the non-villas are large luxury flats. Given the current property prices in Kang City, a single unit would cost at least ten million, and villas are even more expensive. No, absolutely not. The company just launched; I can’t let you spend money like this." Ye Fei tried to turn back.

"I’m using my own money!" Yang Qi said, dragging Ye Fei directly into the Qin and Chu National Style sales office.

There weren’t many people in the sales office. The prices here were so high that it naturally didn’t attract a large crowd. The moment Yang Qi and Ye Fei entered, they caught the eye of a saleswoman. However, a glance at their clothing and age was enough for her to lose all interest. Neither Yang Qi nor Ye Fei was the flashy type, so they weren’t wearing designer brands. They were both dressed in casual clothes that cost only a hundred or two. The saleswoman’s sharp eyes spotted this immediately. Paired with their youth, she concluded they definitely couldn’t afford a property here.

"Are you two here for the free lunch?" the saleswoman, Chen Lan, asked sarcastically. Their sales office provided complimentary lunch for potential buyers, and it was almost that time. It wasn’t surprising she would think this, as people had come for free food before.

"You snob! We’re here to buy a house!" Yang Qi despised people like her. He’d run into them when buying clothes and now again when buying a house. Snobs like this really are everywhere.

"Buy a house? Are you serious?" Chen Lan was taken aback, thinking she must have misheard. She stated authoritatively, "Sir, are you aware of the prices at Qin and Chu National Style? Our cheapest large apartments here are 60,000 per square meter, and they’re all 300-square-meter units. Although property in Kang City isn’t that expensive, our units are not something you can afford. A single large apartment costs nearly 20,000,000. Villas are even more expensive, at 80,000,000 each! Can you afford that? To think you’d tell me you’re here to buy a house... I think you’ve come to the wrong place."

With a mocking expression, Chen Lan added, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. If you want a free lunch, just say so."

"Cut the crap. Who told you I can’t afford it?" Yang Qi’s frown deepened. It was frustrating to deal with such humiliation just to buy a house. What is wrong with people these days? So materialistic.

Chen Lan’s voice grew louder. "Look at your shabby clothes! Who are you trying to fool? A property that costs tens of millions? As if you could afford it! What a disgrace!"

Her loud voice drew a crowd of onlookers, including the sales manager. She was a stunning woman in a standard professional suit and silver-gray stockings, with a natural beauty that could turn any man’s head. Her name was Zhang Meixi.

"Chen Lan, is that any way to speak to a customer?" Zhang Meixi frowned, having overheard Chen Lan’s rude remarks.

"Manager Zhang, it’s not my fault! They can’t afford to buy, but they’re here causing trouble," Chen Lan retorted, feeling completely justified.

"It doesn’t matter if they can afford it or not; you cannot speak to them like that." Zhang Meixi turned to Yang Qi and suddenly froze, stunned. "Yang... Yang Qi! What are you doing here?"

Yang Qi was also surprised.

Zhang Meixi was his first love. They were high school classmates, and she had been the school belle back then—an absolute goddess with countless admirers. The two had been in a passionate relationship, but they ended up at different universities, and their connection gradually faded as they moved on with their separate lives.

After graduating from a less-prestigious university, Zhang Meixi had come to Kang City and could only find work in sales, selling houses. It was around that time she learned that Yang Qi had become a young entrepreneur in Kang City with a net worth of a billion.
