Free Web NovelChapter 224: Chapter 224: Rejecting the Superstar _1
Qin Yuanyuan’s gaze was intense as she stared unblinkingly at Ye Ming, awaiting him to speak.
Such an action attracted a wave of envy from those around.
Not only was Qin Yuanyuan a top-tier actress, but she was also extremely attractive and sought after by countless admirers, yet she had never shown such an exaggerated expression to any man.
If Qin Yuanyuan’s fans saw this scene, Ye Ming would probably immediately become the nation’s enemy.
Moreover, she was even willing to agree to Ye Ming’s requests, which was truly envy-inducing.
Only, Ye Ming was not interested in the slightest.
Ye Ming’s purpose this time was clear, he simply wanted to obtain the Wild Mountain Ginseng.
He had only met Qin Yuanyuan for the first time, not even a fan of hers, the only thing he coveted was the Wild Mountain Ginseng in her possession.
"Miss Qin, there’s no need for any conditions, my visit this time is solely for the Wild Mountain Ginseng!"
Having said that, Ye Ming packed up the Wild Mountain Ginseng and left straight away.
As soon as he opened the door, Ye Ming saw Xia Ningning crouched at the doorway, eavesdropping.
Caught in the act, Xia Ningning’s face inevitably showed a touch of embarrassment. Just as she was about to explain, Ye Ming had already grabbed her, heading out of the hospital.
Qin Yuanyuan hurriedly followed, initially wanting to get Ye Ming’s contact information, but seeing him leave with another girl, a wave of sourness suddenly surged in her heart.
In the short time they interacted, she had initially misunderstood Ye Ming, but he had helped her out of a past disagreement, and now, she had developed a liking for Ye Ming.
As for those rumors she heard during the auction, Qin Yuanyuan didn’t believe them at all.
A person with such medical skills had no reason to deceive others. Others couldn’t even manage to curry favor with him.
Moreover, to say that Ye Ming was looking for opportunities to show off and attract attention was preposterous.
Qin Yuanyuan had been so forward, yet Ye Ming remained unmoved, even bluntly rejecting her.
To say that Ye Ming faked marriage proposals to attract the attention of the Zhang Family sisters was laughable. Qin Yuanyuan didn’t think she was any less attractive than the Zhang sisters, yet even with her forwardness, Ye Ming was unaffected, so why chase after the Zhang sisters?
For a time, her mind was filled with speculations about Ye Ming, and she became greatly curious about him. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Once outside the hospital, Ye Ming finally let go of Xia Ningning’s hand.
Xia Ningning’s emotions had been on a roller coaster, and now with a smiling face, she asked Ye Ming, "That big star was so forward, why didn’t you play along and instead rejected her?"
Ye Ming shook his head, "I don’t know her. I sought her out only for the herbs, so rejecting her is quite normal."
Xia Ningning raised an eyebrow and said, "But still, she is a great beauty; didn’t you feel anything for her?"
Ye Ming smiled indifferently and answered decisively, "No."
In his heart, there was only Xu Lele; no other woman could catch his eye, not the Zhang sisters nor the greatly pursued superstar. None held a place in his heart like Xu Lele did.
He certainly wouldn’t go out of his way to please these women, so rejecting them was a given.
Xia Ningning pursed her lips and thought to herself that this was more like it.
Then, in her blunt manner, she said, "Considering your decent performance just now, how about I treat you to lunch?"
Ye Ming shook his head once more, "I’m not hungry, I am more interested in studying this Wild Mountain Ginseng right now."
After dropping that line, Ye Ming left Xia Ningning standing in the original spot, resolutely walking forward.
Xia Ningning stomped her feet in frustration, muttering to herself, "What an ungrateful guy, I just complimented you and this is how you treat me, huh!"
She also experienced the feeling that Qin Yuanyuan had just had, the feeling of being rejected.

Ye Ming’s pace kept quickening, yet his destination was not the hotel they were staying at but rather constantly moving toward less populated areas.
It wasn’t long before Ye Ming saw that there was no one around; he then stopped and said to himself, "Alright, if you want to make a move, I’ve found a good spot. Stop hiding already."
"Being tracked by someone feels very uncomfortable."
He had deliberately rejected Xia Ningning because after leaving the hospital, he had noticed that he was being followed.
After his promotion, his perceptual abilities had greatly increased, and within a hundred meters around him, he could sense any slight movement.
He had intentionally come to this secluded alley to make it convenient to deal with these trackers.
Following a brief silence, two figures in black emerged from around a corner of a wall.
Their eyes were filled with a beast-like killing intent, and their bodies exuded the aura of strong individuals.
They looked at Ye Ming with a sneer and said, "We didn’t expect you to discover us, but what good does that do? Even if you have found us, you can’t escape!"
Ye Ming was not at all scared but asked indifferently, "We don’t seem to know each other. Who sent you to kill me?"
"It seems you are scared! But rest assured, I don’t necessarily have to kill you. Just hand over the Spirit Spring Water’s recipe obediently, then come with us, and I can assure you you’ll be unharmed," the man in black said with a toothy grin, advancing toward Ye Ming as he spoke.
"However, if you don’t cooperate, don’t blame us for being ruthless. We will make your death a miserable one!"
The two in front of him were overseas assassins drawn by a huge bounty; they had taken the lead, tracking down Ye Ming without any investigation, truly blinded by money.
Ye Ming gave a faint smile and said, "If you’re capable, come get it yourself. The recipe is on me!"
"Self-righteous kid, you’re on death’s doorstep and still dare to provoke us. Fine then, I’ll oblige you!" One of the men in black could no longer hold back. After speaking, he leapt into the air, rushing toward Ye Ming.
The other man followed closely behind, launching an attack on Ye Ming as well.
Just as they were about to make contact with Ye Ming’s body, a whooshing sound was heard, and Ye Ming’s figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
"What’s going on? Such fast speed!"
"This kid’s fighting skills are so formidable!"
The two men exclaimed in astonishment and immediately went into a defensive stance to prevent Ye Ming from launching a surprise attack.
However, after scanning their surroundings for a while, they still could not locate where Ye Ming was.
"With just these skills, you dare to come at me, truly overestimating yourselves!"
Suddenly, Ye Ming’s voice came from above their heads.
Along with it was a tremendous sense of pressure that made both men feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
