"I’ll take a photo with you, then I can have one more ’album’..."
We can’t continue chatting, if we do, something will happen!
Just as Ji Chengzhi was preparing to leave, the fingerprint lock on the door behind him made a noise, and in a moment, with a "click", someone came in from outside.
"Husband, you’re back?!"
The woman who was eating grapes brightened up at the sight of the man and immediately wheeled herself toward him.
Ji Chengzhi also stood up, but when he did so, he froze upon seeing another figure following the man into the room.
Ye Ning also saw her and, after pushing the wheelchair over, curiously looked at the guest who had come to their home, "Who is she? Your friend?"
Ou Mucen glanced at the woman who had followed him in, smiled, and said, "Her name is Han Duo, I saw her feeling unwell on the street, so I brought her up here."
Ye Ning looked at the woman’s face, which was indeed alarmingly pale, and immediately turned her attention to another man who just happened to be there, "Jicheng, why don’t you have a look? He’s a doctor. Chengzhi, come over."
Seeing that he didn’t move, she called out to him again specifically.
Ou Mucen had the same idea, otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought this woman named Han Duo up. Seeing that the man in the living room still hadn’t moved, he frowned, "Ji Chengzhi, what are you doing? Go check on her."
Ji Chengzhi shook himself out of his daze and then began to slowly walk toward the doorway.
Han Duo had not said a word; the situation had taken her by surprise.
She hadn’t planned on coming up; it was only because Ou Mucen saw her sitting immobile at the flower base that he invited her up, saying there was someone at home who could take a look at her, and then she came.
But she hadn’t expected that person to be him!
That’s right, besides him, who else would be close to Mucen and know medicine?
Han Duo stood there, watching him approach step by step. The apartment began to dim with the twilight, and as it wasn’t very bright to begin with, and because the lady of the house had eye problems, the lights weren’t turned on very high.
So at that moment, when she saw his tall figure approaching, it was as if he had blocked all the light from her, striking her like a clap of thunder and blanking her mind completely.
"Stretch out your hand!" he finally spoke, his voice distant and cold as if he didn’t know her at all.
And truly, he didn’t know her. Wasn’t it said that from then on, they would be strangers without any entanglement?
Han Duo calmed down instantly, didn’t stretch out her hand, but simply stood there and smiled, "Mr. Ou is too anxious. It’s nothing serious, just a little anemia. How about this, Mr. Ou, do you have any brown sugar at home? A cup of red sugar water would be just fine for me."
She stood there, avoiding his gaze, her eyes turning to another person in the room.
Since Ye Ning had come home, her mobility issues had kept her from going out much, so having a stranger in the house was quite novel for her. Hearing the request for red sugar water, she turned her head toward the kitchen, "Wang Sister, please bring out a cup of red sugar water."
"Alright, young madam!"
Wang Sister called back from inside, and in no time, she brought out a steaming cup of red sugar water.
