"Eh, okay."

Chen Bo, aware of his own health condition, now smiled and nodded in agreement.

Reluctantly holding onto Xu Fan's hand, he said, "Little Xu, Xingyue is such a good and filial girl, but heaven hasn't been fair to her. Since you've chosen her, you must treat her well..."

Xu Fan was somewhat moved by the old man's only expectation.

He smiled back and said, "Chen Bo, don't worry, I will definitely treat her well."

"With your word, I am at ease."

The old man, now satisfied, nodded and let go of his hand.

"Let's go, then."

At that moment, Xu Fan glanced at Zhong Xingyue and took her hand.

This action made Zhong Xingyue's whole body shake!

Blushing, she glanced at Xu Fan and then at Chen Bo, whose eyes were crinkled with happiness, and she realized that he probably just wanted to cheer the old man up.

Thereupon, she tacitly allowed Xu Fan's gesture.

Without lingering in the shop, they left as Xu Fan led the way, hands still joined.

Once they reached Xu Fan's parked car, Zhong Xingyue, with a flushed face, withdrew her hand from his.

"Thank... thank you, Xu Fan."

Zhong Xingyue looked at Xu Fan with earnest eyes as she spoke.

She didn't know how much longer Chen Bo's health would hold up, but now, with Xu Fan's help, he was able to let go of a burden. At the very least, she felt she had fulfilled her filial duties.

In this cold world, being able to feel this bit of warmth moved Zhong Xingyue deeply.

"It's nothing to thank me for, just a trivial matter."

Seeing Zhong Xingyue's sincere expression, Xu Fan smiled and replied that for him, it was simply a small effort.

"By the way,"

Remembering the pulse he had felt in the old man, Xu Fan frowned and said, "Chen Bo's health doesn't seem too good..."

He was certain he hadn't misread the signs; Chen Bo suffered from gallbladder disease, and his condition wasn't looking good.

If not treated soon, he might only have a year or two left.

Xu Fan looked at Zhong Xingyue and continued, "I'll give you a prescription. You give it to him, and if he follows it and takes the medicine, he should be cured within three months."

"This..."

Hearing Xu Fan lay out Chen Bo's illness then offer a prescription, Zhong Xingyue was stunned.

She knew about Chen Bo's condition, but the doctors had clearly stated that it was severe and difficult to treat with modern medical skills.

"What's the matter? Don't you believe what I said?"

Seeing Zhong Xingyue's dumbfounded look and realizing she hadn't taken in his words, Xu Fan asked with a mix of laughter and helplessness.

"No... No! I believe you!"

Zhong Xingyue hastily declared her belief when Xu Fan asked.

After these days of interaction, Xu Fan had overturned her understanding, and Zhong Xingyue trusted him.

Besides, he wouldn't joke about such a matter.

"Also, Chen Bo's culinary skills are indeed excellent. Once I'm done with business on Hong Kong Island, you should come back to Shanghai with me," Xu Fan said.

"Then, you and Chen Bo can work in catering together. How big you make it will depend on how hard you're willing to work."

Promising to take good care of Zhong Xingyue wasn't just lip service from Xu Fan.

He was now offering her an opportunity; how far she wanted to go with it was up to her.

"This..."

These sudden pieces of good news left Zhong Xingyue somewhat dazed.

She could hardly believe that her fate was changed just by his few simple words.

"Why are you being so good to me..."

Thinking of what Xu Fan had done for her, Zhong Xingyue couldn't help but ask.

Looking at her expectant face, Xu Fan smiled and said, "I'm the kind of person who keeps his word and follows through."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's get in the car."

After giving a casual explanation, Xu Fan and Zhong Xingyue got into the car.

...

At this time, at Ye Yun's private mansion.

Usually, Ye Yun's parties would last all night long before ending, but this time, it had already ended hastily at this hour.

The members who had come to the party had all dispersed, leaving only the remnants of the revelry behind.

Inside the mansion, stern-faced bodyguards stood on guard in every corner.

A young man with slicked-back hair was listening to reports from his subordinates in the hall.

He bore a resemblance to Ye Yun, and his expression grew darker as he listened to the reports.

"Eldest Young Master, the second young master has awakened!"

At that moment, a doctor in a white coat rushed out from the second floor!

Hearing this announcement, Ye Qinglong waved his hand to cut off his subordinate.

"Keep the reporters under control, I don't want this to get out," he ordered.

After giving the instruction, he led his men and followed the doctor into the room.

"Brother..."

Ye Yun was lying in bed and weakly greeted Ye Qinglong as he entered the room.

Ye Qinglong nodded and then turned his gaze toward the doctor standing aside.

"What's his condition now?"

If it hadn't been for his timely intervention, suppressing the news and leveraging the Ye family's connections with the reporters, the incident might have already spread across all of Hong Kong Island.

In that case, nobody would sympathize with Ye Yun about his crushed testicles; the drug use alone would be enough to get him locked up!

The doctor felt a sense of fear when Ye Qinglong asked about the situation.

Ye Yun's life had been saved, but his manhood was beyond rescue.

With both testicles smashed to bits, was there any hope for recovery?

The doctor grimaced and then leaned in close to Ye Qinglong's ear.

"Eldest Young Master, it's unlikely that the second young master will ever regain the joys of his lower half..."

From now on, he would be facing a helpless situation of desire without ability, and the doctor truly feared that revealing this to Ye Yun might be the death of him.

"Okay, I've got it," Ye Qinglong said, after hearing the doctor's report, took a deep breath, and dismissed him.

"Brother... I, will I still be able to have sex..."

Seething with anger internally, Ye Qinglong heard Ye Yun inquire from the bed.

Ye Qinglong almost exploded with anger at his useless brother.

You've literally become a eunuch and you're still thinking about sex?

Looking at Ye Yun on the hospital bed, Ye Qinglong couldn't help but show a hint of disdain in his eyes.

With such conduct, if he hadn't been their father's son, he would have died ten times over by now.

"Don't worry about that for now. First, tell me exactly what happened this time," Ye Qinglong said.

It's one thing for his brother to be unruly, but on Hong Kong Island, the Ye family had the right to be so!

Now, someone had dared to challenge the Ye family's dignity on Hong Kong Island, and this matter had to be dealt with!

Otherwise, if word of Ye Yun becoming a eunuch got out, where would the Ye family's face be?
