Chapter 167: 167

Ye Haochuan said so not without purpose.

He had long heard rumors that Kou Jing was known as the "Iceberg Goddess" by the entire school not because she rejected dating, but mainly because her heart already belonged to someone else.

Although there was no evidence, the rumors were so vivid and detailed that people couldn’t help but believe them.

According to the rumors, her secret boyfriend was one of her college classmates who was currently studying for a doctorate in medicine in the United States, although she never confirmed it.

But from the utterly heartbroken expression she had just now, coupled with the physiognomy lineage of the Holy Hand, Ye Haochuan could conclude that she must really have a secret boyfriend.

As for whether the person was indeed studying for a medical doctorate in the United States, that remained unknown.

"What does my secret boyfriend have to do with you? Mind your own business!" Kou Jing glared at him angrily.

Ye Haochuan shook his head and said, "Doctor Kou, consider this a piece of friendly advice from a colleague, ’What’s meant to be will be, and what’s not, let it be.’ Take it easy and don’t miss out on the forest for the trees. There are plenty of good men in the world. For instance, me—I’m handsome and elegant, a divine healer, talented and wealthy. You might want to consider me..."

Listening to him praising himself more and more outrageously, Kou Jing couldn’t help but chuckle. This big flirt, there are plenty of good men out there, who’d consider you?

However, thinking of the banquet she was invited to tonight, Kou Jing’s heart fluttered. She looked at Ye Haochuan deeply, bit her lower lip, and said, "Doctor Ye, are you free at noon?"

"I’m free, what’s up?" Ye Haochuan asked casually.

"I was thinking... I was thinking... could you pretend to be my... boyfriend and attend a class reunion with me this afternoon?" Kou Jing stammered, her face blushing with an enticing shyness that was particularly heart-stirring.

Pretend? How could that be okay? I should legitimately be your boyfriend, and that’d be more like it!

Ye Haochuan thought to himself with a roguish smile, but he responded cheerfully, "Well, it’s a bit challenging, but I like it, no problem—I agree."

Kou Jing had expected him to play hard to get, so his immediate agreement surprised her. But then, considering his usual flirtatious nature, why would he pass up the chance to charm her? Such a big flirt!

With that thought, she hesitated, wondering if she had acted too impulsively just now.

But then again, among her acquaintances, there were indeed very few as suitable for pretending to be her boyfriend as he was.

Firstly, none of her college friends knew him. Secondly, he was also a doctor with excellent medical skills and good looks. To spite her unfaithful ex-boyfriend, he was the most fitting choice.

"Then Doctor Ye, thank you for your help," Kou Jing said with a grateful expression on her face.

"No big deal, no big deal..." Ye Haochuan waved his hands dismissively.

"I’ll come to find you after work at noon," Kou Jing instructed.

"No problem."

After leaving Kou Jing’s office, Ye Haochuan returned to his own office, only to see the two bank clerks still counting coins, sweating profusely and looking miserable.

The more Ye Haochuan looked, the more he found it funny. However, thinking about it, he hated the bank, not the clerks—it seemed a bit petty to take his anger out on them.

So he stepped forward and said, "Alright, alright, stop counting. Move aside, let me show you..."

Seeing him return, both He Shuhua and Luo Yan had tears in their eyes. This Mr. Ye really knew how to give people a hard time. All these coins had swollen their hands from counting.

As the two women stepped aside, Ye Haochuan concentrated his energy into his dantian and brushed his hand over the table strewn with coins.

In an instant, under the incredulous stares of the two women, the coins began to dance around as if by magic.

Before long, all the coins were rearranged, stacked ten high, neatly laid out in a rectangle before him.

"Now you count them, is it the correct amount?" Ye Haochuan said with a look of pride.

Only then did He Shuhua and Luo Yan recover from their shock and hurriedly began to count. It was neither more nor less, exactly three thousand yuan.

"Mr. Ye, how did you do that just now? Was it Qigong? It’s so magical!" Luo Yan’s eyes were full of admiring little stars.

"Sort of." Ye Haochuan chuckled, "Let me tell you, don’t admire me too much, I’m just a legend."

A touch of red flashed across Luo Yan’s face, somewhat embarrassed.

He Shuhua said with an admiring look, "Mr. Ye truly is a remarkable person, I’ve lived for so many years, but today has really opened my eyes."

Ye Haochuan laughed heartily, and just then a student came in to seek medical attention, so Ye Haochuan waved his hand, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, you should head back now, I still have work to do here."

He Shuhua and Luo Yan nodded in a hurry, quickly placed the coins into a cardboard box, and carried it out.

Afterward, Ye Haochuan also began changing into a white coat to work, attending to the teachers and students who had come for a consultation, busily enjoying himself.

However, though busy, his efficiency in seeing patients was astonishingly high. Others needed at least five to six minutes per patient, but he barely took a quarter hour per patient.

So, an hour and a half before the end of the noon break, the teachers and students seeking medical attention from him had already cleared out.

With nothing else to do, Ye Haochuan then closed the door of his office and sat down to cultivate the Longevity Technique...

Unbeknownst to him, the time for the noon break had arrived, and his cellphone started to ring; it was Kou Jing calling.

"Where are you, Doctor Ye?"

"I’m in my office!"

"The office? But I see your office door is closed?"

"I was busy with something."

"Busy with something?" Kou Jing looked puzzled. What kind of business necessitates a closed—and tightly shut—door?

In the past, Director Wu, who had been expelled by the school, was once caught in such a situation by her. Truly, one can never judge a book by its cover.

Thinking this, Kou Jing felt a sense of revulsion. Her grandfather had praised him for his integrity, yet she hadn’t expected him to be such a sleazy pervert. And in the school clinic, no less!

"Of course, I’m busy. Don’t you believe me?" Ye Haochuan responded.

Kou Jing didn’t want to dwell on this subject, "Come out quickly, it’s getting late, we should be leaving. I’m right outside your office door."

"Oh, I’ll come open the door now."

Ye Haochuan was unaware that she had misunderstood him, and promptly stopped his cultivation, jumped down from his seat, and opened the door.

Indeed, Kou Jing was standing at the door.

At that moment, she had changed into a different outfit, looking exceptionally enchanting.

After giving her a once-over, Ye Haochuan swallowed, thinking to himself, damn, dressed like that, she couldn’t be off to seduce an ex-boyfriend, could she?
