Resign?
Upon hearing this, Bai Bing’s smile froze, and she asked in a low voice, “Why are you resigning?”
“I’m leaving Jiangzhou,” Ye Qiu said.
Bai Bing’s heart leapt with joy. Was Ye Qiu planning to go to the capital?
If so, she could transfer back to work there and keep her grandfather company.
“Where are you going?” Bai Bing asked.
“The cultivation world!”
Bai Bing was stunned, her excitement vanishing instantly.
Ye Qiu explained, “Although we took down the Forbidden City, its guardian, Dragon Bodhisattva, is still in the cultivation world, and he’s very powerful. If my father encounters Dragon Bodhisattva, he’ll be in mortal danger. So, I need to go to the cultivation world to find my father and face Dragon Bodhisattva together.”
Bai Bing frowned slightly. “Going to the cultivation world to find your father, what does that have to do with resigning?”
Ye Qiu was a medical sage. Even if he didn’t see patients, just having his name associated with Jiangzhou Hospital was a golden reputation for the city.
Ye Qiu said, “Because I don’t know when I’ll be back.”
At these words, Bai Bing’s heart trembled.
She understood that Ye Qiu’s journey to the cultivation world would involve great danger.
Ye Qiu spoke candidly, “Sister Bing, this trip to the cultivation world has an uncertain return date. If I don’t come back, you should find someone to marry…”
Slap!
Bai Bing stepped forward and slapped Ye Qiu across the face, then threw her arms around him, sobbing. “You listen to me, Ye Qiu. I, Bai Bing, am yours in life and your ghost in death.”
“If you don’t come back, I’ll stay a widow for life.”
Ye Qiu held Bai Bing gently and said softly, “Sister Bing, why are you so foolish?”
“Promise me you’ll come back, no matter how long it takes. I’ll wait for you,” Bai Bing said, echoing Lin Jingzhi’s words.
“Alright, I promise,” Ye Qiu said solemnly.
Bai Bing touched Ye Qiu’s cheek and asked, “Why didn’t you dodge just now? Does it hurt?”
“Not at all,” Ye Qiu said. “I’ve got thick skin.”
Bai Bing chuckled, then said seriously, “Before you go, promise me one thing. I want a child.”
“Grandpa’s getting old, and he’s been pressing me about it.”
“We can’t wait any longer.”
“Alright,” Ye Qiu nodded in agreement.
“I’m not working today. Let’s go home,” Bai Bing said, pulling Ye Qiu along.
“Sister Bing, not today…”
