“However what?”

Tang Li did not answer him. Instead, she told Butler Zhang. “Butler Zhang, get a pen and a piece of paper.”

Butler Zhang quickly brought the two items over.

Tang Li split the piece of paper into two and quickly wrote down two lines of words on it. Then, she folded the paper and handed it to him. “When you’re in trouble, open one of the papers. When you return to your country, open the other one. Remember, the trouble I’m talking about is when you’re about to die.”

Hou Yong’s body trembled. He quickly stood up and walked to her, took the paper with both hands, and put it away. He bowed deeply to her and actually trusted her words. “After I bring all of them back, my life will belong to Miss Tang!”

After saying that, he strode away.

Ouyang Yi, who came back to his senses after a while, asked, “Hou Yong left just like that?”

Then, he turned to Tang Li and asked curiously, “Tang Li, what did you write on the paper?”

Tang Li glanced at him and said, “That is a secret. Are your teeth okay now?”

“Er…”

Hearing that, Ouyang Yi subconsciously covered his mouth. The punch he received yesterday had indeed knocked out one of his teeth. He was planning to fix it up.

However, his teeth were beside the point. He only wanted to know why Tang Li had become a fortune-teller.

“Tang Li, didn’t you say that you wanted to be a diplomat when you were in high school? Why didn’t you become a diplomat? Instead, you studied medicine and became a fortune-teller?”

When Ouyang Yi asked this question, his emotions became even more complicated. He felt that Tang Li had changed a lot after not seeing her for a few years. She had become someone he did not know.

However, Tang Li let out a chuckle. She now looked especially like that of a great teacher. She leaned her back against the chair and did not answer. Instead, she asked, “How about I read your fortune? If I get it right, you pay me.”

Ouyang Yi asked in a daze, “What can you read?”

“I can read your future, your fate, or your marriage.”

“You’re already married. Who else can I marry?”

Tang Li was speechless.

Butler Zhang was speechless, too.

Butler Zhang could not stand it anymore, so he purposely said to Tang Li, “Madam, breakfast is ready.”

Tang Li glanced at him before returning her gaze to Ouyang Yi’s face. She planned to make this young man, who still had some fantasies about the Host, give up completely. “Ouyang Yi, you really like me, right?”

Butler Zhang was shocked.

At this moment, he heard footsteps approaching from the courtyard.

Upon turning around, he saw Qi Yihan, and then he broke out in cold sweat.

Qi Yihan’s expression was calm and his eyes were cold. When Tang Li asked Ouyang Yi this question, he stopped and gave Butler Zhang a look to shut up.

Butler Zhang turned around with difficulty and looked at Tang Li anxiously. He screamed internally, “Madam, stop asking. Master is here!”

Tang Li did not even notice how anxious Butler Zhang was. Her gaze was fixed on Ouyang Yi, who was sitting opposite her.

Ouyang Yi felt uncomfortable being stared at. He turned his head away and said with a hint of disappointment, “What’s the use of liking you? You’re already married.”

Tang Li hummed in agreement. “You’re right. I’m already married. Besides… even if I’m not married, it’s impossible for me to like you.”

Ouyang Yi suddenly turned around and looked at her. He raised his voice subconsciously. “Why? What’s wrong with me?”

Tang Li clicked her tongue, thinking that the Host was only into pretty boys. You’re a tough man, it would be weird if she took a fancy to you!

However, she still had to make things clear. After all, it was not easy to do business in a time like this. She still wanted to develop Ouyang Yi as a client. “Whether I like him or not doesn’t matter. You are not my type, so I don’t like you.”

Ouyang Yi looked like he had suffered a huge blow.

Tang Li was the crush of his youth and the bride that he had tried so hard to marry after all these years. But she was now telling him that she was married and had never liked him.

Ouyang Yi touched his face and said, “I know. I will disappear in your life forever.”

With that, he stood up to leave.

“Wait.” Tang Li stopped him. When he turned to look at her with excitement, she asked, “Are you really not going to ask me to read your fortune? I can read anything… Of course, as long as you can afford it.”

Hearing that, Ouyang Yi, who had some hope for her, became hopeless.

However, when he saw Tang Li’s expectant gaze, he could not reject her. He said casually, “Then if I can join the organization I want.”

He wanted to join Mo Xiao, the organization where Hou Yong was also a member.

Tang Li shook her head and said, “That organization is not suitable for you. You can join another organization that you have thought about. That one is where you shine.”

Ouyang Yi’s body trembled. He widened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief. “How do you know I have two choices?”

“Because I am a fortune-teller.” Tang Li extended her hand toward him. “Five hundred thousand.”

“What?”

“The starting price for my fortune-telling is five hundred thousand. Since we’re acquaintances, I’ll charge you the starting price.”

“…”

Butler Zhang, who was standing next to her, thought to himself, “Madam, why don’t you just rob him? Do you think this person in front of you is so foolish as to give you that much money?”

Ouyang Yi suddenly felt that he and Tang Li were not the same kinds of people. She asked for five hundred thousand, but he could not bring himself to fork out that much money. Finally, he thought about it and pulled out a jade pendant from his neck. He handed it to her, saying, “I don’t have that much money on me. Can I use this jade pendant to pay for it?”

Butler Zhang was saying internally, “Young man, stop being so silly!”

Tang Li looked at the jade pendant in front of her but did not accept it. She said, “This jade pendant will save your life, so I won’t accept it. You can pay in installments.”

Then, she added, “If there’s a chance in the future, introduce me to a few clients.”

Ouyang Yi said with a tense voice, “…Okay, goodbye.”

With that, he strode out of the door at a fast pace as if he was chased by a beast.

Ouyang Yi walked out of the living room and met Qi Yihan, who was standing in the courtyard.

He suddenly stopped.

The man opposite him was wearing a black suit. He just stood there and looked at him calmly. For some reason, Ouyang Yi felt a strong pressure, the kind of which he would feel in front of his father.

However, at the thought that this man was Tang Li’s husband, he felt indignant. He strode toward him and said to him in a domineering tone, “Treat Tang Li well. If I find out that you bully her, I’ll bring my men to punish you.”

With that said, he lifted his chin and walked towards the door.

Hearing Ouyang Yi’s voice, Tang Li knew that Qi Yihan had arrived.

She rushed to the door and saw Qi Yihan.

Tang Li asked in surprise, “You didn’t go back last night?”

“Yeah.” Qi Yihan walked towards her with a calm expression. “I didn’t hear about Father’s condition yesterday.. You can tell me now.”
