Chapter 88 - 88: Let’s Prepare a Surprise for Yanyan

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As Old Master Cheng was wheeled out, the members of the Cheng family anxiously inquired about his condition.

Knowing that he had safely passed through the crisis, much of the tension outside the emergency room dissipated.

After arranging Old Master Cheng in a VIP ward, Old Madam Cheng solemnly expressed her gratitude to Nan Yan.

Nan Yan exchanged a few polite words with them, but with so many people around, she felt a bit annoyed.

Old Madam Cheng was discerning enough to ask the others to leave, leaving only Nan Yan and Tao Qingming in the room.

With fewer people present, Nan Yan’s emotions eased a bit.

Sitting by the bedside, Old Madam Cheng held Old Master Cheng’s wrinkled hands, and looked at him with hope in her eyes. “Little divine doctor, can Old Master Cheng’s health improve?”

“As long as there is a way, no matter the price, we will bear it!”

“Old Master Cheng’s body has suffered too much damage, and those old injuries have caused irreversible harm.”

Nan Yan’s voice was clear and composed, which made Old Madam Cheng’s heart tense again.

“If we want him to fully recover like an ordinary person, it’s not possible. However, with proper care and treatment, we can alleviate his pain and give him a few more years of ease.”

“If Old Master Cheng cooperates with the treatment, keeps his emotions stable, and doesn’t experience drastic mood swings, he can live for at least five more years.”

Old Madam Cheng’s emotions fluctuated like a rollercoaster. Hearing that Nan Yan was confident about reducing Old Master Cheng’s pain and prolonging his life by five years, tears welled up in her eyes.

“Old Master Cheng… Can you hear this? The little divine doctor can save you!”

“You must hang on. I still want to spend more years with you. After enduring so much suffering all these years, once you get better, we can be like an ordinary old couple and not worry about anything. We can travel around the world, enjoying the beauty of different places together…” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Old Madam Cheng’s voice choked as she spoke, and she couldn’t hold back her tears.

Tao Qingming took out a tissue and handed it to her.

After her emotions stabilized a bit, she looked at Nan Yan apologetically. “Little divine doctor, excuse my behavior. I got a little carried away.”

“It’s nothing.” Nan Yan shook her head. “Old Madam Cheng, Old Master Cheng’s body needs gradual adjustments. He will need a combination of dietary therapy and traditional Chinese medicine. If you follow both, the effect will be better.”

“The ingredients for the daily prescriptions are not too precious and can be easily obtained. However, there are a few rare herbs needed for the life-saving medicine. You will have to find them.”

“After you gather all the ingredients, let Elder Tao take them to me, and I will refine them into pills for Old Master Cheng to take.”

Old Madam Cheng solemnly replied, “Little divine doctor, just tell me if any herbs are missing. I will make sure to find them.”

Nan Yan immediately wrote two prescriptions and also a seven-day cycle of dietary therapy.

Holding the list, Old Madam Cheng thanked Nan Yan once again before asking, “Little divine doctor, how long will you stay in the capital? Is there any other treatment Old Master Cheng needs?”

“I will stay until tomorrow afternoon. I will come tomorrow for another acupuncture session, and then he will only need to take the medicine for his daily care.”

“The medicines from the first prescription should be started as soon as Old Master Cheng wakes up, twice a day, without interruption. The ingredients for the second prescription should be sent to Jin City.

If there is any herb that you can’t find through your channels, let me know, and I will find a way.”

“Where are you staying?” Old Madam Cheng paused for a moment before suggesting, “How about staying at Cheng’s house?”

He had his own place in the capital.

“That’s fine then, little divine doctor. If you need anything, just ask. Cheng family will do everything to help!”

Old Madam Cheng’s status in the Cheng family was as high as Old Madam Qin’s position in the Qin family. Moreover, Cheng family had a glorious military background, and her words were of greater significance.

She had made a commitment to Nan Yan.

Nan Yan didn’t refuse and nodded calmly.

Building connections was also important for her now.

After leaving the hospital, Nan Yan sat in the car feeling a bit weary.

She planned to pretend to nap for a while, but her phone rang.

Rubbing her forehead, Nan Yan took out her phone and saw the caller ID. She tried to focus and answered the call.

“Big Brother, is there something wrong?”

“Why can’t I call you if there’s nothing wrong?”

Qin Lu’s deep and magnetic voice sounded with a hint of teasing in Nan Yan’s ear.

“Of course you can.” Nan Yan obediently and softly replied, “Thank you for thinking of me, Big Brother.”

Qin Lu was in his office, leaning elegantly in a black executive chair. He asked unhurriedly,”

“Little friend, what are you doing?”

He had been in meetings since his return and had stayed up all night dealing with some matters.

Now that he had a moment to spare, he thought of the little one left in Jin City.

He hadn’t contacted her, and the little one didn’t even send him a message.

Qin Lu felt a bit distressed.

Nan Yan calmly lied, “Nothing much, just playing some games to pass the time.”

“Hmm…” Qin Lu lightly tapped the table, contemplating whether to ask if Shen Junqing had visited her.

That guy Shen was too unreliable. Qin Lu worried that he would be a bad influence on the little one.

His eyes darkened slightly as he tried to inquire, “Are you home alone?”

Nan Yan raised her head and glanced at Tao Qingming, who was sitting next to her. She nodded slightly and then realized he couldn’t see her. Softly, she replied, “Yes.”

“Yanyan, lock the door and don’t open it for strangers, understand?”

Qin Lu rarely called her ‘Yanyan’; most of the time, he addressed her as ‘little one’.

Hearing him say her name like this through the phone, Nan Yan’s mind involuntarily brought up his appearance when they first met, and her small face flushed red.

She bit her lip and replied obediently, “I understand, Big Brother.”

The little one’s well-behaved attitude pleased Qin Lu. His lips curled up into a faint smile. “Yesterday, I forgot to ask you about the exam. How did it go?” Nan Yan pondered her words and replied cautiously, “It should be okay.” “What gift do you want? When I go back in a few days, I’ll bring them for you.”

“Big Brother, you lack sincerity.” Nan Yan said solemnly, “When giving gifts, you shouldn’t ask the person receiving the gift what they want.”

“Otherwise, where’s the surprise?”

“So you want a surprise?” Qin Lu’s voice unconsciously softened with doting, “You really are a little one.”

“In that case, let’s prepare a surprise for Yanyan.”

“But what if I don’t do well in the exam?”

“Then consider it a consolation gift.”

Nan Yan blinked her eyes.

How could it be like this?

Doesn’t that mean that no matter how she performed, she would get a gift?

Qin Lu didn’t wait for her to be moved and said leisurely, “However, you have to transfer to a school in the capital.”

“The education here is good.. How about considering it?”
