"Let me see your other hand too..."
After examining Huang Guilan's left hand, Wan Yunting took her right hand and checked her pulse. He then nodded and smiled, "Not bad, you're recovering well, but this illness still requires traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning. I'll write you a prescription."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wan..."
Zhou Xiaomin expressed her gratitude with a grateful thank you. Then, she said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Wan, my mother is still not well, so she might not be able to work at your place. Perhaps you should find another nanny?"
Huang Guilan also smiled and remained silent. This young man in front of them was their great benefactor, and she was worried about not being able to do her job well if she worked at his house.
Wan Yunting looked at Zhou Xiaomin and smiled, "Are you worried that your mother won't be able to do well here?"
Zhou Xiaomin was a bit awkward and embarrassed. Wan Yunting smiled at her and said, "Actually, this is quite good. Your mother coming to work at my place will also benefit her recovery."
"As for the work, it's just tidying up things at home, cooking, and so on. There's usually not much to do. Of course, besides your mother, I'll also hire another aunt, so the work won't be too tiring for them."
These words made Zhou Xiaomin hesitate. She felt even more grateful to Wan Yunting, knowing that he was looking out for her mother.
"Alright, that's settled then."
Wan Yunting said as he got up and went into the living room to get paper and a pen to write the prescription for them...
Zhou Xiaomin and Huang Guilan sat there, looking at each other. They hadn't expected to be nannies at their great benefactor's house...
Gu Luotang, who had already gotten up, came out and saw Zhou Xiaomin and Huang Guilan sitting in the courtyard. She curiously asked the man who walked in, "Who are they?"
"That auntie is here to apply for the nanny job."
Wan Yunting pointed at Huang Guilan and smiled at Gu Luotang, "Go and wake up Miaomiao. I'll take you back later."
"Okay."
Gu Luotang heard this, turned, and went to the guest room on the first floor to wake up the still-sleeping Miaomiao.
Wan Yunting went out with paper and pen, wrote a prescription, and instructed Zhou Xiaomin and her mother on how to decoct and take the medicine...
At this moment, seeing Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao coming out, Zhou Xiaomin felt a bit curious. Wasn't Mr. Wan's girlfriend Fang Yanxi, President Fang?
"Then you two go back first, and come back to work in the afternoon."
After giving instructions, Wan Yunting smiled at them because he still had to take Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao out for breakfast and then send them home.
"Here is the villa key. Auntie, keep it safe. Call me when you come in the afternoon." Wan Yunting handed another house key to Huang Guilan. She took it and nodded, saying, "Okay."
"Then, Mr. Wan, we'll be going back now."
Zhou Xiaomin pulled her mother and bowed gratefully to Wan Yunting again, "Thank you..."
"Alright, no need to be polite. Let's go."
Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile. Zhou Xiaomin and Huang Guilan nodded with smiles and then turned and left the courtyard gate.
Wan Yunting turned back to look at Gu Luotang and the still-sleepy Qi Miaomiao, smiling, "Let's go, let's have breakfast outside, and then I'll take you back. After that, I'll go to the school to see Vice Principal Deng's wife."
"Mhm, mhm..."
Gu Luotang nodded, got into the car with Qi Miaomiao, and Wan Yunting took them away from home. They drove out of the villa complex and found a breakfast shop nearby. After the three of them finished breakfast, Wan Yunting took them directly back to Gu Yuanbai's old family residence.
By the time they got home, it was already ten in the morning. Fortunately, Gu Yuanbai had already gone out to work. If he had known his granddaughter stayed at Wan Yunting's place last night, he would have probably questioned him...
Gu Luotang didn't let Wan Yunting leave. Instead, she took him directly to her boudoir. She then went to change her clothes, as she hadn't changed out of her Hanfu when she was at the man's house last night...
Wan Yunting looked around the boudoir and came to Gu Luotang's study. He saw a beautiful screen and a desk filled with books, stationery, and other items. There was also Xuan paper spread out in the middle of the desk. Wan Yunting couldn't help but go over and sit down, then pick up a nearby book and flip through it idly. To his surprise, he found a prescription tucked inside the book.
Wan Yunting's gaze froze. He took out the prescription and looked at it. It was a prescription he had written before...
"What are you looking at?"
At this moment, Gu Luotang, who had returned after changing into a beautiful Hanfu dress, saw the man sitting in the chair in front of her desk. Wan Yunting held the prescription in his hand and smiled, "How did this prescription end up with you?"
Gu Luotang's eyes widened, and her pretty face turned red. She quickly stepped forward as if to snatch the prescription from Wan Yunting's hand. However, his left hand flashed, and his right hand grabbed Gu Luotang's jade hand and pulled her in. The woman let out a startled cry and fell directly into Wan Yunting's arms. He smiled, "Tell me, how did this prescription end up with you?"
Gu Luotang's eyes were shy. She gave him a charming sidelong glance and pouted coquettishly, "I won't tell you. Give it to me quickly..."
How could Wan Yunting not know that this girl actually liked his calligraphy? He handed the prescription to her, couldn't help but kiss Gu Luotang's rosy pink face, which made her glare shyly. She struggled to stand up from Wan Yunting's embrace, "Alright, let's go treat Sister Xu."
"Okay, let's go."
Wan Yunting stood up, placing his hands on the armrests of the chair, and then put his arm around Gu Luotang's slender waist, smiling, "If you like it, I'll write a hundred more for you later, so you can hold them and look at them every day."
Gu Luotang turned her head, her eyes cast sideways at him, and said gently yet coyly, "Who likes it? I'm not like that."
"Is that so? Then I won't bother."
Saying this, Wan Yunting released her waist, nodded, and walked out quickly.
"No, you have to write them..."
Gu Luotang was anxious, she went up and grabbed the man's arm, saying coquettishly, "You have to write a thousand of them for me."
"Okay, I'll write ten thousand for you, so you can hug them and sleep every day..."
Wan Yunting dotingly pinched Gu Luotang's pink and cute face, making the woman shy. They were like a couple who had just fallen in love.
But as soon as they stepped out of the small courtyard and saw the housekeeper at home, Gu Luotang quickly let go of the man's arm. She didn't dare to let the housekeeper see, otherwise her grandfather would definitely know about her relationship with Wan Yunting...
"Brother Yunting, Senior Sister, are you going to treat Sister Huiping? I'll go too." At this moment, Qi Miaomiao also came out of her boudoir.
"Mhm, let's go together." kanδん
So Wan Yunting took the two of them and drove directly to Huadu City Chinese Medicine University. After parking the car, they went straight to the teacher's dormitory building. They went upstairs to Deng Hongsheng's door and knocked. The door was opened quickly. Deng Hongsheng smiled, "Vice Chairman Wan, Luotang, Miaomiao, you're here too. Please come in."
"Mhm, Vice Principal Deng, how is your wife? Did she have any problems last night?" Wan Yunting asked as he entered.
"She didn't cause any trouble last night and slept soundly, but she didn't seem to recognize me and kept muttering about my son's matters, talking to herself." Deng Hongsheng recounted the situation after bringing Xu Huiping home yesterday. Wan Yunting listened, nodded, and smiled, "Take us to see her."
"Okay, she's in the room..."
Saying this, Deng Hongsheng led them to open his son's room door. They saw Xu Huiping, with dishevelled hair, sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall. She was holding their son's favorite Ultraman toy from when he was alive in her arms. Xu Huiping's eyes were vacant, appearing very dazed, and she kept muttering the words "Give me back my son."
"Brother Deng, Sister Huiping looks much better."
Although Xu Huiping still looked abnormal, she had already improved significantly compared to her previous frantic state where she would cause a scene whenever she met someone.
"Yes, she's not causing trouble anymore, and sometimes she even recognizes me." Deng Hongsheng said with a smile.
"Let me check her pulse."
Saying this, Wan Yunting went up and took Xu Huiping's thin left wrist to check her pulse, asking, "Have you taken the medicine?"
"Yes, I've been taking the medicine twice a day as you said." Deng Hongsheng nodded.
"Mhm, the pulse is normal."
Wan Yunting released her wrist, stood up, and turned to smile at Deng Hongsheng, "Then I'll give her acupuncture treatment now."
"Okay..."
So Deng Hongsheng, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao all helped. Wan Yunting also opened the medicine box he brought from Gu Luotang's house and took out a set of silver needles she often used. After disinfection, Wan Yunting first put Xu Huiping to sleep, and then began to perform the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate on her...
It wasn't until noon.
"Done."
Wan Yunting wiped the sweat from his forehead and removed the last silver needle from Xu Huiping. He looked as if he was exhausted. Gu Luotang quickly supported him and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, just a bit of physical exertion."
Wan Yunting shook his head slightly and smiled at the woman. He then said to Deng Hongsheng, "Let her rest well. I'll come back to check on her tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Vice Chairman Wan." Deng Hongsheng thanked him again.
Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile, and with Gu Luotang and the others, followed Deng Hongsheng out of the room to the living room, saying, "Vice Chairman Wan, it's time for lunch. Let me treat you to a meal in the cafeteria."
"Okay, I'm hungry too." Wan Yunting nodded and smiled.
Because performing a session of the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate consumed a large amount of internal energy from his dantian, he felt hungry.
So he, Gu Luotang, and the others followed Deng Hongsheng out of his house and went directly to the school's cafeteria. They specifically asked the cafeteria master to prepare a table full of dishes as a token of gratitude to Wan Yunting.
"Then I won't be polite."
Seeing the food served, Wan Yunting picked up a bowl of rice and began to eat ravenously without hesitation.
Gu Luotang looked at him gently and also picked up a bowl of rice to eat elegantly. Deng Hongsheng wanted to order a bottle of wine to toast Wan Yunting, but he waved his hand, saying he had other matters in the afternoon and couldn't drink.
"Vice Principal Deng, I want to ask you a question!" Wan Yunting said while eating.
"Mhm, Vice Chairman Wan, please speak."
Deng Hongsheng put down his chopsticks and looked at him. Wan Yunting continued without stopping, eating as he asked, "Do you want your wife's illness to be completely cured?"
These words made Deng Hongsheng's expression freeze. Gu Luotang also turned her head to look at Wan Yunting curiously. Qi Miaomiao said, "Brother Yunting, what are you saying? Of course, we want Sister Huiping's illness to recover."
