Lin Yun hesitated slightly. Most beautiful women were very concerned about their appearance, and Lin Yun was no exception. She was quite proud of the effective skincare water she had developed, even using it as a small gift for others and herself daily.
Did she really have to discard her skincare water like this? Lin Yun couldn't make a decisive choice.
Lin Yun bit her lip and finally asked the little fox hesitantly, "Does it have to be this way? Is there no other method? For example, could something be used to mask the treasure's aura, wouldn't that solve it?"
"This way, the treasure is preserved, and I won't encounter spirit vehicles or experience what I'm going through now, right?"
A good idea, but can I let you solve problems this way?
The little fox widened his eyes and looked at her, then said, "Do you think something that can achieve this level of masking is easy to obtain?"
"No matter how you handle it, I advise you to find someone interested and sell it. You can get a good price, and you won't be at a loss. It's killing two birds with one stone."
"Otherwise, even if you pay a great price and successfully preserve the treasure in your hands, masking its aura, what's the point? Some people don't just identify such things by their aura. What if you encounter someone with sharp eyes who doesn't intend to go through legitimate channels, buys it from you, and then targets you?"
Lin Yun didn't understand much and didn't know any reliable masters. However, after listening to the little fox's words and analyzing them, she tentatively asked, "But I don't know where to sell this thing. Who do you think I should sell it to? As you said, this thing is unsafe. If I sell it, won't I be harming someone?"
The little fox immediately shrugged and said, "It's up to you. Don't sell it to someone who can't see its value. If someone can see its value and dares to buy it, it means they believe they can handle it. Then, regardless of whether something happens later, you won't be considered to have harmed them."
Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, then rephrased, "No, what I mean is, you can see the treasure's value, don't you want it?"
The little fox shook his head, "Of course not. We don't lack good things. We are the ones who told you about this, and then we propose to buy it. Wouldn't that seem like we're coveting your treasure?"
Ye Tiancheng also nodded and said to Lin Yun, "My brother and I genuinely don't need your item, and it's not appropriate for us to buy it. We've already told you what the item is, so you should dispose of it as soon as possible."
"After helping you this time, we should be leaving. When we first came to Huaishi, it was to open a branch. We were looking after it when it first opened. We were already planning to leave Huaishi these days."
Lin Yun's attention was immediately drawn to Ye Tiancheng's words, and she asked in surprise, "What? Boss Ye, you're leaving Huaishi? Without any warning?"
Ye Tiancheng nodded slightly, "This was planned from the beginning, not a sudden decision."
"Boss Lin, you don't need to worry too much. As long as you transfer that item, you won't have to worry about encountering such incidents again. Let's wait until our brothers hear that you've found the item before we discuss anything further."
With that said, Lin Yun couldn't say anything more and had to temporarily drop the matter. Ye Tiancheng didn't seem interested in taking it over, so did she have nothing that Ye Tiancheng would covet?
After discussing these matters, Ye Tiancheng mainly chatted casually with the little fox. Lin Yun couldn't understand much of what they were saying and couldn't join the conversation.
When dawn broke, around six o'clock, Ye Tiancheng went out to buy breakfast and brought it back for Lin Yun.
After Lin Yun took the breakfast, she saw that Ye Tiancheng's hands were empty, and he seemed to have only bought the one portion of breakfast she was holding. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss Ye, why did you only bring one portion of breakfast back?"
Ye Tiancheng stood leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets. Since he had been sitting for too long and it wasn't very comfortable, he didn't sit down again but stood to move his limbs.
Hearing Lin Yun's question, Ye Tiancheng glanced at her and replied truthfully, "Oh, because bringing one portion for you to eat is enough. My brother and I will go directly to the shop, and my wife will bring us food."
Lin Yun was hit hard and stopped asking, not wanting to embarrass herself further. If she continued to stay in the same room with Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, Lin Yun didn't know if she could maintain her outward composure.
Therefore, Lin Yun took the initiative to ask them to leave, "Oh, I see. It's not too early now, and the sky has brightened. It's not good to trouble Boss Ye to stay here any longer. Why don't you two go back early?"
"Now that it's daylight, I can easily find a caregiver, so I won't need to trouble Boss Ye to watch over me anymore."
Ye Tiancheng had bought breakfast and it was already past seven o'clock, indeed not particularly early.
Although Ye Tiancheng had no objections, he felt that since the matter hadn't been completely resolved, it wasn't appropriate to leave Lin Yun alone, so he said, "Then Boss Lin, please find a caregiver. When the caregiver arrives, my brother and I will leave."
Lin Yun shook her head, "I've already troubled Boss Ye a lot, and I'm sorry to trouble you further."
"This is a hospital, and it's very convenient to find a caregiver. Before the caregiver arrives, I can call a nurse at any time. It's fine."
Since Lin Yun insisted, Ye Tiancheng had nothing more to say. "Since Boss Lin believes she can manage, then my brother and I will leave. Boss Lin, please take care. If you need any help, you can call us."
The little fox naturally followed Ye Tiancheng's thoughts. Whether Ye Tiancheng stayed or left, he had no objections.
After Ye Tiancheng finished speaking, he left the ward with the little fox. As the little fox walked with Ye Tiancheng, he couldn't help but say, "Has Boss Lin's courage suddenly increased? She dares to stay in the hospital alone without anyone accompanying her."
His words didn't reveal whether he was genuinely unaware of the reason or if he was deliberately teasing.
However, Ye Tiancheng was clearly self-aware and knew why Lin Yun had suddenly asked them to leave.
Ye Tiancheng said, "This is normal, but..."
The little fox looked at him, "But what?"
Ye Tiancheng smiled helplessly and said, "It's not that Boss Lin's courage has increased, but because if we two remain in her sight, she might be angered to death by us."
The little fox knew what Ye Tiancheng was referring to and found it a bit amusing. He teased Ye Tiancheng, "Boss Lin is indeed a great beauty, but Brother, you're also quite heartless. Facing such a beautiful woman like Boss Lin, doesn't Brother feel any attraction?"
Ye Tiancheng's expression turned serious, "Not at all, not at all."
"Alright," the little fox shrugged helplessly, whether Ye Tiancheng was telling the truth or not, teasing too much was not good. "Brother is deeply devoted to Sister-in-law and incredibly loyal, so why would he be attracted to other women or feel anything for them?"
Ye Tiancheng himself didn't believe such flattery.
However, regardless of what he thought in his heart, his outward behavior had to be as such.
Ye Tiancheng said to the little fox, "If I were still single, of course, I'd be attracted to as many people as I liked. But I'm a married man now."
"Marriage, regardless of whether it's formed out of mutual affection, represents more than just liking once it's formed. It also represents responsibility and the obligation of loyalty to one's partner, otherwise, it's very heartbreaking."
"I didn't do well in this regard before, but I want to try my best to do better now."
The little fox mused, "Oh, I understand. Brother isn't not moved, but afraid to be moved, right?"
Ye Tiancheng gave him an annoyed look, "It's not about daring, it's about not being able to be moved."
There was no such thing as daring or not daring. If one party in a relationship changed their heart, the other party couldn't do anything to salvage it, and they would inevitably be hurt. As for the one who changed their heart, they couldn't turn back, erase the harm, or even care about the other party anymore.
Rather than saying he didn't dare, it was more accurate to say he couldn't. This was Ye Tiancheng's choice. He chose Hou Mingzhu, and some things were necessary for him to do proactively.
Encounters could happen because they were unavoidable, but affairs could not because that would be irresponsible and a betrayal of his family.
When Ye Tiancheng and the little fox went to the book cafe, it was the first time they had opened so early. They sat in the shop for a while, and not long after, Hou Mingzhu arrived with breakfast made at home.
Ye Tiancheng had been sitting by the counter, close to the entrance. Seeing Hou Mingzhu arrive from a distance, he immediately went to meet her, taking the items from her hands.
"You're here? Thank you for going out of your way to bring breakfast for my brother and me."
Hou Mingzhu didn't refuse and handed everything to Ye Tiancheng, "Bringing breakfast isn't hard. After all, I didn't make the breakfast myself, and I was going out anyway, so it was just a slight detour. It's no trouble."
Ye Tiancheng asked Hou Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, have you eaten breakfast yet?"
Hou Mingzhu replied, "I haven't eaten yet. Here, I brought it along. I'll eat breakfast with you and then go to work."
Ye Tiancheng nodded and walked into the shop with Hou Mingzhu, then called out to the little fox, "Little fox, come over quickly, it's time for breakfast."
In the book cafe, there was no shortage of places to sit. They simply sat down in the coffee area. Ye Tiancheng laid out the breakfast and chose a seat with Hou Mingzhu.
The little fox heard Ye Tiancheng call him and immediately came over, greeting Hou Mingzhu first, "Sister-in-law, good morning!"
Hou Mingzhu nodded in response, "Good morning to you too. You must have had a tough night. Tiancheng told me you two didn't rest all night."
"If you're sleepy or tired, you can go back and rest today. No matter how urgent the current matter is, it's not worth sacrificing your health for a nap. Don't wear yourselves out."
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox both repeatedly agreed, not daring to argue.
The little fox walked to the table and looked at the breakfast, then picked out two items he liked and took them to a side table to eat.
He wasn't foolish enough to sit next to Ye Tiancheng and Hou Mingzhu. If he did that, he would be the brightest light bulb in the shop, brighter than anyone else.
In the entire book cafe, Ye Tiancheng and Hou Mingzhu were the only couple, and the little fox was the only single person. How clueless would he have to be to crowd in front of Ye Tiancheng and them?
