I insist

Chapter 313: Pulling and Tigging

Then Yu Huailin's face showed an unhappy expression again. If there was nothing wrong, why didn't he go home?

“Young Master Yu…” Liu Xiaoyue reminded him, noticing Yu Huailin’s absent-mindedness.

Where did you see her?

Liu Xiaoyue was relieved to see that Yu Huailin finally didn't sound hostile towards her.

"I went to the market this morning and saw Song Miqiu and a man I didn't know arguing and pulling at each other," Liu Xiaoyue told Yu Huailin truthfully what she had seen that morning.

Yu Huailin asked incredulously, "Are you sure you saw Song Miqiu?"

Liu Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes, the two of them were chatting and laughing."

Yu Huailin flicked his sleeves and hurried off to the market, leaving Liu Xiaoyue alone.

Liu Xiaoyue stared at Yu Huailin's retreating figure with a face full of confusion. Did he like Song Miqiu? Why was he so agitated? But wasn't Song Miqiu his relative? Besides, Song Miqiu was such an old woman.

Could it be true, as the rumors suggest, that Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin have an ambiguous relationship?

Yu Huailin searched the market but couldn't find Song Miqiu or a man.

Yu Huailin walked to a secluded spot and summoned his bodyguards.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Yu Huailin said with a gloomy face, "Hurry up and help me find Song Miqiu, quickly."

Seeing Yu Huailin's urgency, the guard replied, "Yes..."

Yu Huailin stared at the spot where the guards had disappeared, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

What kind of person could make her stay out all night and not come home? Is he really ignoring me?

Yu Huailin grew angrier the more he thought about it. If he saw that man, he would definitely beat him up.

Yu Huailin returned home and waited anxiously. Soon, the bodyguards quietly appeared in Yu Huailin's room.

"Master, we have news."

Upon hearing the news, Yu Huailin's anxious face finally relaxed.

"Song Miqiu is currently in a house to the west."

At this moment, Song Miqiu was still discussing with his colleague Wu Yanfan how to better utilize the medicinal properties of the herbs.

Song Miqiu stayed at Mingtai City for one night, and in the morning Wu Yanfan asked her to go to the market together to buy medicinal herbs.

"Physician Song, besides the cooking time, what else should we pay attention to when selecting medicinal herbs?"

"Of course, the selection of medicinal materials is very important. The climate, growing environment, and the countries from which the medicinal materials are purchased can all affect their efficacy."

Wu Yanfan suddenly realized.

"That makes a lot of sense. I always thought it was a problem with my dosage. It seems I need to pay more attention to the selection of medicinal herbs in the future."

Song Miqiu nodded in agreement.

Wu Yanfan and Song Miqiu had a heated discussion.

When Yu Huailin heard from the guards that Song Miqiu was with a man, he was initially not very convinced by Liu Xiaoyue's words.

Yu Huailin quickly rode his horse towards the place the guards had indicated.

"There's a man in white standing at the door, young master, saying he's looking for Physician Song."

Wu Yanfan was very confused because he didn't recognize the people around him at all, including a man in white.

"Who is this person? Is Physician Song looking for you?" Wu Yanfan turned to Song Miqiu and asked.

How did Yu Huailin find his way here, and so quickly at that?

"I don't know him, you should quickly refuse him," Song Miqiu hurriedly instructed her servant.

Upon hearing the order, the servant went to the door.

"Imperial Physician Song, that man mentioned your name, why don't you go and see him?" Wu Yanfan asked Song Miqiu, puzzled.

"I said, if we don't know each other, we don't know each other. Do you want to discuss treating patients and saving lives, or do you want to discuss whether or not we can meet each other?"

Wu Yanfan noticed that Song Miqiu was a little angry. In her heart, she regarded Song Miqiu as a very respected elder because she was not only highly skilled in medicine, but also humble.

"Okay, okay, if you say you don't know me, then you don't know me." Wu Yanfan quickly agreed, afraid that Song Miqiu would be unhappy.

The servant rushed in anxiously.

"Young master, that young man in white said that if he's not allowed to enter Physician Song's residence, he'll smash down the gate." The servant said, trembling. He was almost scared to death by that look in his eyes.

Song Miqiu really wanted to rush out and punch Yu Huailin right now; he really couldn't avoid him or mess with him.

"What should we do? Should we still see him?" Wu Yanfan was in a dilemma, afraid that Song Miqiu would be angry, and also afraid that the boy would smash his door.

Song Miqiu was so angry he didn't know what to do. He couldn't really let Yu Huailin smash the door; he believed Yu Huailin meant what he said.

"Imperial Physician Song, why don't we invite that young man in for tea? It seems he really wants to see you." Wu Yanfan could only try to smooth things over from the sidelines.

"Then you make the arrangements," Song Miqiu said helplessly.

"Then you should go quickly, and please let the young man outside in," Wu Yanfan said to the frightened man.

Yu Huailin waited for a long time in the guest room. When he saw that Wu Yanfan was a young man, dressed in extraordinary clothes, with a scholarly air about him, he immediately felt dissatisfied.

"Young master, what urgent matter do you have with Physician Song?" Wu Yanfan bowed respectfully to Huailin.

Yu Huailin felt inexplicably unhappy when he saw Song Miqiu following behind Wu Yanfan.

"Whether I'm looking for her or not, what are you talking about?" Yu Huailin was very dissatisfied with Wu Yanfan in front of him.

Wu Yanfan looked somewhat embarrassed after being rebuked by Yu Huailin.

"What are you doing here?" Song Miqiu still acted indifferent.

Yu Huailin was already angry because he hadn't come home all night, and now he had come all this way only to be asked this question in return.

"I was worried about you. I never imagined you'd be hanging out with this guy." Yu Huailin said with a hint of anger. He hadn't slept all night, just wanting to see her.

Song Miqiu was furious at what Yu Huailin said. What did he mean by "hanging out with this man"? They were just discussing medical issues.

"Which eye of yours saw me hanging out with him?" Song Miqiu said irritably.

Wu Yanfan, standing to the side, was completely bewildered, not understanding what they were saying. It sounded like lovers arguing. But the two, one old and one young, didn't seem like it. And if they were a family, the anger they were venting was truly intense.

Moreover, Wu Yanfan believed that Song Miqiu was unlikely to be keeping a gigolo. This young master was dignified and exuded nobility, unlike someone who would be someone's gigolo.

Yu Huailin was so angry at Song Miqiu's words that his face turned red and purple.

"Then why didn't you come home all night? You were chatting and laughing with him at the market this morning," Yu Huailin said with dissatisfaction.

“I was discussing some things at Mingtai City’s house last night, and Wu Yanfan and I just went to buy some medicinal herbs this morning. Can’t I have my own space?” Song Miqiu said indignantly, her face showing dislike for Yu Huailin.

Wu Yanfan watched them argue from the sidelines, feeling caught in a dilemma, unsure how to mediate.

The air in the room suddenly seemed to freeze.
