A Lady? (3)
Time passed. It was soon night time, and Ye Lang wrapped up his work for the day. Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess realised that within this period of time, Ye Lang had already earned forty to fifty thousand gold coins.
And that was a very short period of time. They didnât know how much he had been earning in the past few months. Even if he was lucky enough to meet the rich man today, if he earned ten thousand gold coins a day, it was already about a million in a few months.
The seventh princess asked about this soon after, âYe Lang, how much money have you earned today?â
âWhat? Oh, you mean from the fees? I donât know, I donât keep track,â Ye Lang was, as usual, clueless when it came to money. He didnât know how much money he had.
âI know. Itâs so far 1,196,300 gold coinsâŠâ said Arwen. She had been helping Ye Lang every day and decided to note down his payments.
ââŠâ Ye Lanyu and the princess fell silent.
Yep, this was a robbery. No, better than robbery!
A million gold coins- and that was over a few months. If the seventh brother heard of this, heâd definitely beg Ye Lang to continue working at this clinic. Then, he would be a lot more reckless with the prices than Ye Lang was.
Ye Lang wasnât meticulous in his prices, it was usually according to his mood- not only the patientâs background. They could be lower one day than the other.
Of course, this was also because of Ye Langâs overinflated prices for his aristocratic customers- it was almost as if he was robbing them. That was how he could make so much money.
And to these people, they were willing to pay this amount in exchange for their lives- or should we say, VERY willing.
As the saying went: willing buyer, willing seller. There wasnât a problem there.
âLittle seven, looks like weâre set for life! This idiot prodigal god here is also a god in earning money,â said Ye Lanyu after she stared for a long time.
âYeah, Iâll be able to live in luxury for the rest of my life, I can buy whatever I want!â nodded the princess.
âYep, squander money, be a prodigal! Little seven, youâre an awesome wife!â nodded Ye Lang. He suddenly felt like marrying the princess wasnât a bad thing, she could help him spend his money.
ââŠâ The princess fell silent. She wasnât being serious. But she knew Ye Lang was definitely not joking.
However, she felt a lot more relieved now. She wasnât worried about their future after Ye Lang had squandered all his money. With his skills, he would still be fine even if he was millions in debt!
And to think sheâd been worried for him- it was all unnecessary!
The princess shook her head. She wasnât sure if she was making conversation but she suddenly had a question to ask, âYe Lang, why did you come out to the entrance? You were in here, you wouldnât have the time to come outside.â
âYeah, brother, why did you suddenly run out?â Ye Lanyu was curious too.
Based on his work conditions, he shouldnât have been outside. There were so many Light Riders around too, he could pick a random one to report to him.
âNothing much, I was just there to welcome you both,â answered Ye Lang in a surprised tone. Why did they have to ask? Wasnât it obvious he was there to welcome them?
âWelcome us?!â they were stunned for a moment, confused. âYou knew we were coming?â
Ye Lang continued walking ahead towards the kitchen Zhen Xiaoyan was in, at the same time replied, âHow could I not know? Your ice and fire made such a huge ruckus out there, I wouldâve known no matter how far away I was!â
â⊠RightâŠâ
There were only two people in the entire mainland to be able to combine their ice and fire attributes. No one could ever replicate the techniques of combining both attributes as harmoniously as them.
âThat would mean you knew very early on that we were here?â asked the princess gently. There was violence brewing behind that gentle voice.
Unfortunately, Ye Lang was a slow kid. He didnât notice, only smiling, âYep, I knew very early on! Iâm awesome like that!â
âHow dare you!! If you knew, why didnât you come out earlier!!â roared both of them, each pulling an ear.
âAh, Iâm dizzyâŠâ
Ye Lang felt very dizzy after the two lionesses roared in his ears⊠âSpeak! Your answer better make me happy or youâll be in trouble!â they said.
âWhat? You both fighting was very normal. Of course I could only come out after I finished treating my patient. Whatâs there to be mad about? Iâm going to look for fatty now, sheâs so much nicer than you both,â said Ye Lang, running off.
ââŠâ
âCome back here! It IS normal for us to fight, but you hadnât seen us in so long! Didnât you miss us? That youâd want to see us sooner?â fired Ye Lanyu as she grabbed Ye Lang back.
âHas it been that long? Itâs only been a few months?â asked Ye Lang. It was obvious he had no concept of time.
ââŠI knew you were a jerk. We were thinking of you every day, but you donât care at all!â whined the princess, knocking his head.
This was where Ye Lang started to defend himself, âWho said I didnât? I care!â
âWhat do you care about?â asked the two girls at the same time.
âI, I care about fattyâs foodâŠâ answered Ye Lang puffing his chest, as if it was a very good answer.
ââŠâ
The three girls had no words for this. They shouldnât put any hope in him, he was just a clueless bastard⊠Ye Lang ran into the kitchen, then yelled at the still cooking Zhen Xiaoyan, âFatty, Iâm hereâŠâ However, while he was calling her name, his eyes were never on her, only on the food.
Zhen Xiaoyan immediately cried, âOut! No men allowed in my kitchen! And donât even think of stealing my food⊠Ye Lang, put that down, thatâs not ready yet!!â
When she saw Ye Lang grabbing something, she immediately dropped what she was doing to snatch it backâŠ
âUgh, why canât you just wait a little longer outside⊠Iâm not done yet⊠Hey, donât take that⊠Out!! Or I wonât let you eat at all!â While she was talking, she realised he had picked another thing up to eat. It was driving her crazy!
