Su Xing woke up the next morning feeling invigorated, as if the shadow that had been hanging over him had suddenly dissipated. He felt that his eyes sparkled with brightness as he opened them. Stretching his arms and legs under the covers, he let out a satisfied sigh, "Ah, this feels great!"
Beside him, Shen Jingyu propped himself up on one elbow and looked at his wife with a smile in his voice. "Where did you learn that dialect?"
Su Xing turned to look at him, her eyes shining. "Recently, I've been studying the various regional Mahjong games! Grandma didn't teach me; it was Gu Tongtong who did!"
Suddenly realizing how much older he felt compared to the younger crowd, Su Xing joked with a smile, "I really feel old! My thoughts just can't keep up!"
Shen Jingyu laughed. "Where do you feel old? Don't sell yourself short! There's no one in the entire city more beautiful than you! Plus, the wealth you have now is enough to put you at the top of the rich list! So many people envy you!"
Su Xing raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? If I just laze around all day, will my money magically grow?"
Shen Jingyu's handsome face broke into a grin. "After marrying me, that's no longer a dream!"
Su Xing chuckled softly. "So it turns out I married the right person!"
Finally seeing a carefree smile on Su Xing's face, Shen Jingyu felt a surge of emotion. This sense of physical ease was contagious to those closest to her. He leaned down and kissed her tenderly.
Su Xing wrapped one arm around his neck and responded with equal affection. But then she suddenly thought, "Oh no, I threw up last night! How disgusting!"
She abruptly pushed Shen Jingyu away, looking embarrassed. "You don't mind me?"
Looking at the man's tense expression, she felt an unusual sensation on her legs and realized she might be in trouble.
In response, Shen Jingyu's tongue grazed his teeth with a crisp sound as he looked at Su Xing with a dangerous glint in his eyes. "You dare push me away?"
Su Xing pressed her lips together and crossed her arms over her chest. "I wouldn't dare! It's just that I'm afraid you might dislike me since I haven't brushed my teeth yet!"
"When have I ever disliked you? Come on now, with so much strength, if you can push me away like that, why not help me instead?"
Su Xing watched helplessly as someone took hold of her hand and twisted it away. She felt all the strength she had just regained dissipate in an instant.
Shen Jingyu had been patient for too long; it wasn't that he couldn't control himself but rather that seeing Su Xing in good spirits felt like a celebration of their changed circumstances!
Su Xing had originally planned to wake up full of energy to greet the sunshine, but after a quick nap, he ended up sleeping until noon. Zhu Man hadn’t come to disturb him directly; instead, she had sent someone with a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine. This person was his newly appointed senior assistant, Qin Yi, who had been dubbed a miracle doctor in their organization.
Suddenly becoming Zhu Man's little helper, Qin Yi felt overwhelmed as he was called upon throughout the day. Su Xing had already developed immunity to the bitter herbal concoctions, as his family matriarch often prepared similar nourishing remedies at home. After adding various herbs, none of them ever tasted good! However, it seemed that Zhu Man had taken his taste preferences into account with her preparations. Su Xing thought this young girl was simply amazing, especially considering how she managed to keep the seemingly aloof Mr. Duke wrapped around her finger.
The events traced back to last night. Shi Shao felt as if something was crawling in his throat and summoned a host of doctors, even going all the way to Ren'ai Hospital. The result was devastating; nothing abnormal was detected despite his persistent discomfort, which eventually escalated to rashes and redness all over his body.
"Are you all just sitting around doing nothing? With such obvious symptoms right in front of you, how can you tell me there's nothing wrong?" he thundered. "I pay you all hefty salaries to ensure you perform when it matters! Idiots! Useless! If you can't figure this out, go home and eat for yourselves!"
Shi Shao was furious! Yet none of the doctors seemed capable of impressing him. One trembling individual stepped forward; it was the acting director of the hospital. After taking several deep breaths, he finally spoke up: "Shi Shao, why not let Qin Yi take a look? He’s a renowned miracle doctor; we’re all counting on him!"
Shi Shao felt a lump in his throat: "Do you think I wouldn’t seek him out?" The line of doctors stood before him, secretly thinking: "Then why don’t you go find him? Why aren’t you looking for him?"
Of course, no one dared to voice such thoughts! Shi Shao would never explain that he had just been with the so-called miracle doctor. It was Qin Yi who had diagnosed him and suggested he come to the hospital for further tests! Instead, he had been dragged off by Zhu Man to assist her!
Zhu Man! That insufferably naive girl! She was driving Mr. Duke crazy! He wanted to tell her to go back to the mountains and gnaw on tree bark instead of meddling in his affairs!
Shi Shao angrily smashed a fine bone china tea set, and under the moonlight, he had no choice but to take a cab back to the hotel.
It didn't take long for him to find out which room Zhu Man was sleeping in. At one o'clock in the morning, the loud knocking on the door made Zhu Man inside feel increasingly irritated. Zhu Man was a child who lived a relatively regular life; he delegated any tasks he could to others and had already gone to bed early, sleeping soundly. He believed that he was at an age where he needed plenty of sleep, especially after treating Su Xing earlier that day and practicing his qi gong. He needed to recover well.
So, the impatient knocking outside only provoked Zhu Man to shout, "Whoever's out there! Tell them that if I hear another knock, I'll make sure they can never speak again! If you want the antidote, stand out there until I wake up!"
In the small living room outside Zhu Man's suite was Qin Yi, who worked tirelessly with his team of four assistants, grinding herbs. Qin Yi was also quite annoyed; after hearing Zhu Man's command from inside, he finally stood up to open the door for the irritable man.
"Qin Yi! Are you just going to keep watch for him? Aren't you a man? Don't you have any dignity?"
"Shaogong! Either say less or wait here; otherwise, stand outside! You know your body; I can't help you."
"Little Ancestor is sleeping. If you disturb him now, he might make sure you can never speak again." Qin Yi was still relatively kind and did not relay Zhu Man's words in their original tone. He was giving his older brother some face.
As for Shi Shao, if he could just sit quietly in the living room, Qin Yi could even help cover for him, preventing him from getting hurt further. What kind of person was Shi Shao? How could he stay in this strange-smelling room? And especially with that little monster inside? In the end, Shi Shao chose to stand outside with great resolve, opening the door wide.
