School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 609 - 611: Qin Family Breaks Off Engagement

It was clear that Liu Yiyi already viewed Xiao Han as a close friend. Otherwise, she would have never been so enthusiastic toward him. Liu Yiyi didn’t have a single friend by her side. Even former friends, upon learning of Liu Yiyi’s terminal illness, were unwilling to continue their friendship. Perhaps they visited her initially, but over time, they gradually faded her out of their lives. It was as if in their world, Liu Yiyi no longer existed.

A smile lifted the corners of Liu Yiyi’s mouth, and she affectionately looped her arm through Xiao Han’s, saying, "Xiao Han, you finally came!"

"Sorry, I’ve been really busy recently," Xiao Han apologized repeatedly.

"I know you’re busy!" Liu Yiyi nodded, adding, "But today is Saturday, you can take a little time to accompany me."

"Mmm," Xiao Han nodded.

Although they had only been apart for a few days, in Liu Yiyi’s eyes, a day apart felt like an eternity. Her longing for Xiao Han grew with each passing day. Now that she finally saw him, she was naturally very excited.

Once inside the house.

Liu Yiyi couldn’t wait to show her paintings, saying excitedly, "Look, this is what I’ve been working on these past few days, what do you think?"

It was a huge painting of the sunrise over Mount Tai. Liu Yiyi had spent three days completing it. Although the painting wasn’t exactly a masterpiece, it was a significant improvement from Liu Yiyi’s previous level.

"Not bad!" Xiao Han nodded and commented, "Your oil painting skills have improved a lot. Seems like you’ve been practicing hard these past few days."

"Hehe…" Liu Yiyi chuckled and replied, "Isn’t that all thanks to your good teaching?"

"I haven’t really taught you anything," Xiao Han quickly shook his head.

"Still denying it?" Liu Yiyi giggled and said, "The painting you left me inspired me greatly. I looked at that painting for a long time and I feel that it’s not just an image, but a spirit, the spirit of the sunrise, reminding me not to give up hope. To have a spirit like the sunrise. As long as I live in this world, I must not give up any hope. Right?"

"Right!" Xiao Han immediately relaxed and said, "I’m gratified that you understand it that way."

The two discussed painting in the studio.

Suddenly, Liu Yiyi turned to Xiao Han and said, "I’ve been meaning to tell you something for the past few days."

"What?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

"The Qin Family publicly cancelled the marriage," Liu Yiyi’s face showed a touch of dejection.

"Isn’t that a good thing?" Xiao Han responded, "Surely you wouldn’t want to marry a frivolous and irresponsible scion, right?"

"That’s true, but... being so publicly dumped..." Liu Yiyi sighed, "My dad has been very unhappy lately. Every time he comes to see me, he’s drunk, cries, and then leaves. It’s painful to watch."

"Sigh…" Xiao Han let out a sigh, "Maybe that’s just the cruelty of the business world."

"Actually, I feel very sorry for my dad," Liu Yiyi sighed.

Xiao Han’s lips curled into a smile, then he said, "You don’t need to feel sorry for him."

"Why?" Liu Yiyi furrowed her brow.

"Because…" Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then said, "He was willing to marry you off to an irresponsible playboy. Do you think you need to feel sorry for him? His current plight might just be deserved."

"But he is still my dad," Liu Yiyi said helplessly.

"In this world, there’s no such thing as love or hate without reason," Xiao Han said with a slight smile, "It’s true that he raised you, but the fact that he decided to marry you off to a man without a sense of responsibility means he’s not a real man. He’s merely a qualified businessman."

Facing Xiao Han’s words, Liu Yiyi found herself without any grounds for rebuttal.

"I don’t know what to say," Liu Yiyi said, looking down, seated across from Xiao Han.

"You don’t have to overthink things," Xiao Han smiled and said, "What you should be doing now is taking care of your health. You must get stronger before the matching bone marrow arrives, so that you’ll meet the standards for surgery."

"Mmm!" Liu Yiyi nodded.

Xiao Han took a deep breath, then suggested, "How about I take you out for a drive today?"

"I..." Liu Yiyi hesitated. She couldn’t just go out casually; the slightest carelessness could expose her to lethal pathogens easily leading to an infection.

"Wear a simple isolation suit," Xiao Han said with a slight smile.

"Okay!" Liu Yiyi ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation and agreed to go out with Xiao Han.

Although the maid wanted to dissuade her, she knew she couldn’t stop Liu Yiyi. All she could do was help her put on an isolation suit and then a face mask.

And so, Liu Yiyi and Xiao Han left the house.

Liu Yiyi hadn’t been out for a long time, let alone gone shopping. She walked on the street, watching the passersby, looking at the crowds on the streets with a look of envy in her eyes.

Indeed, for a girl with a terminal illness, she envied those healthy people who could freely stroll, eat whatever they wished, drink whatever they desired, while she couldn’t.

"Do you want some ice cream?" Xiao Han asked.

"Can I... can I really?" Liu Yiyi looked at Xiao Han.

"Why not?" Xiao Han nodded, "As long as you like it, you can have some!"

"Of course, I like it!" Liu Yiyi immediately nodded.

"I’ll go buy it for you!" Xiao Han chuckled.

Xiao Han had done his homework well, knowing that Liu Yiyi was terminally ill and should eat whatever she wanted. As for ice cream, there was no reason not to have it. If she wanted to eat it, she could.

Xiao Han quickly bought a box of Häagen-Dazs.

"I used to love eating this!" Liu Yiyi said with a smile as she looked at the Tomato and then added, "But since I fell sick, I stopped eating it."

"Why?" Xiao Han curiously asked.

"Since I became ill, my outlook on life has changed a lot," Liu Yiyi holding the ice cream, glanced at Xiao Han, "Things I used to like, I don’t care for anymore. I used to enjoy shopping, buying stuff, and eating ice cream. Now I don’t like any of that."

"So, what do you like?" Xiao Han asked.

"I like to walk alone, and enjoy being by myself," Liu Yiyi laughed softly, "I’m not particular about food either. Whatever is edible, I’ll eat. Nature once told me to avoid raw and cold foods, to avoid spicy foods..."

"Right!" Xiao Han nodded, "But this is just a rare treat, not something to eat every day."

"I know that!" Liu Yiyi nodded.

She opened the ice cream and began to savor it finely. The ice cream she used to love the most had now become a luxury. Just thinking about it felt sorrowful. Liu Yiyi ate with gusto, looking at Xiao Han while she did so.

The two had just arrived at the entrance of Wanda Plaza.

But they ran into someone, a familiar face. It was Qin Xiaotian. Qin Xiaotian was holding a girl, a tall and very pretty girl, and they both were carrying a lot of stuff. It seemed obvious they had just finished shopping at the plaza.

"Oh, isn’t that Liu Yiyi?" Qin Xiaotian looked at Liu Yiyi with a grin.

"Qin Xiaotian?" Liu Yiyi frowned.

"Didn’t you get leukemia?" Qin Xiaotian chuckled and said, "Aren’t you afraid of getting infected by germs? I’d advise you to just go home and stay put. Stop wandering around outside!"

"Qin Xiaotian, can’t you say something decent for a change?" Xiao Han frowned.

"Xiao Han, don’t tell me you don’t know this woman is dying," Qin Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Aren’t you afraid of bad luck, hanging out with her?"

"You’re really interesting," Xiao Han laughed coldly, "Not knowing about her illness, you used to follow her like a courting male dog. Now that you know she’s ill, you’re avoiding her like she’s got the plague."

"Xiao Han, regardless, this woman is someone I’ve discarded," Qin Xiaotian grinned, "You hanging out with her is like picking up someone’s discarded shoes. Tsk tsk, why would you even want that?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Han burst out in anger upon hearing this.

"I won’t!" Qin Xiaotian chuckled.

"Believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!" Xiao Han narrowed his eyes.

"You’ve got the guts, just you try!" Qin Xiaotian retorted angrily.

Bang...

Xiao Han lunged forward with quick steps and threw a hard punch at Qin Xiaotian’s face.

Thud...

Qin Xiaotian fell to the ground instantly. A rich young master like him could hardly stand up to Xiao Han. With that single punch, Qin Xiaotian had virtually no chance to fight back.

"Ah!" the girl beside him screamed, "Xiao Tian, are you... are you okay?"

"Damn it, you dare to hit me, you dare to understand me?" Qin Xiaotian roared furiously, "Old man, I’m going to kill you today no matter what!"

After saying this, Qin Xiaotian charged at Xiao Han like an enraged lion.

Xiao Han hummed coldly and casually grabbed the other man’s neck.

Although Qin Xiaotian was furious, he was neither as formidable nor as capable as Xiao Han. After several attempts, he couldn’t even touch a hair on Xiao Han’s body. Xiao Han held him by the neck with one hand, lifting him off the ground into the air, pitifully like a small chicken.

"So, you were going to kill me, right?" Xiao Han looked down at Qin Xiaotian with disdain.

"Don’t give me a chance!" Qin Xiaotian, innately fearless, had grown up pampered and privileged, and he was unafraid of even formidable opponents. He always believed he had a powerful family, a powerful background, and thus the right to fear nothing. Even faced with Xiao Han, he was not scared. His face turned red with rage, his teeth gritted, and then he said, "Don’t give me a chance, or I swear, I will kill you."
