"Hmm, Keer’s health is weak. Her frailty has been with her since birth, and current doctors indeed find it hard to treat her condition. However, thankfully, you encountered me."
Qin Qin said with a light smile, which excited An Ruichen and his wife immensely.
"I have a few Life-Nourishing Pills here. Have your wife take them first, and tomorrow, send someone to the Heavenly Medicine Shop. I’ll prescribe a medical formula for your wife."
"Then... how long will it take for her body to recover?" An Ruichen asked in a hushed tone.
"There will be effects in a month, at most six months." An Keke’s body was too weak; Qin Qin could only prescribe relatively mild and nourishing medicine, and could not rush the process.
"Really, she can recover in six months!" An Keke, moved to tears, had never even imagined such a possibility.
"Thank you, thank you, Qin Qin." An Keke held Qin Qin’s hand and then signaled to her husband, An Ruichen, to step out for a moment.
An Ruichen glanced at his wife and, seeing that she had something to say to Qin Qin, nodded and left the room.
"Qin Qin, I want to ask... can my body ever bear children in this lifetime?" This matter was what she cared about the most. Countless doctors had warned her that her body could not sustain her own child, as it could fail under the strain at any moment.
Seeing the hope and worry in An Keke’s eyes, Qin Qin patted her hand. "Rest assured, your body will be able to have children in a year."
"Really? Thank you, I don’t even know what to say!" Tears streamed down An Keke’s sweet and demure face.
Qin Qin smiled faintly, wiped away her tears, then walked out of the room.
An Ruichen waited outside, wanting to talk to his wife, but he first had to see Qin Qin off.
"Qin Qin, I thank you for today. I, An Ruichen, owe you a favor. If you ever need anything from me, I’ll go through fire and water to do it."
An Ruichen’s words made Qin Qin laugh. "A Frenchman like you is pretty knowledgeable about the Huaxia language, even talking about going through fire and water for someone."
"What going through fire and water?!" A deep, sensual, yet somewhat dangerous voice sounded in front of them as a tall figure emerged from the staircase.
His handsome and indifferent face, with long phoenix eyes, turned towards An Ruichen, who was startled; why did he feel Mo Yunchen’s gaze was so dangerous? Had he said something wrong?
Eric stood behind Mo Yunchen, giving An Ruichen a wry smile. Master Mo’s sudden visit must mean he knew something about their dealings with Miss Qin.
"Ahem, Mo Yunchen, what brings you here?" An Ruichen approached first, giving Qin Qin a meaningful look to make sure she didn’t give anything away.
Mo Yunchen’s phoenix eyes were frosty as he looked at Qin Qin. "Qinqin, come here."
Qin Qin walked forward and was pulled into Mo Yunchen’s embrace. "What’s this about?"
"From now on, you’re not permitted to go off with anyone else." Mo Yunchen lowered his head and spoke to Qin Qin. She had insisted on going home alone, refusing his escort, so he had sent someone to follow her. On the way, there had been an attempted kidnapping of Qin Qin, but thankfully the person following her recognized they were An Ruichen’s men and knew there was no danger, and so they had phoned him.
"Mo Yunchen, don’t misunderstand, I just asked your wife to help look at my wife’s illness."
Seeing Mo Yunchen’s gaze targeting him, An Ruichen quickly explained. If Mo Yunchen misunderstood, he’d be in deep trouble.
"I’ll deal with your matter tomorrow. From now on, stay away from her. If I find out you’ve touched her, watch your hands."
The grim warning made An Ruichen instinctively withdraw his hands. Why did he feel like Mo Yunchen knew everything? Surely he didn’t know about the hand he touched Qin Qin’s?
Having said his piece, Mo Yunchen left with Qin Qin from An Ruichen’s mansion.
"Where are you taking me? I want to go home!"
As Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen left An Ruichen’s villa, she noticed they were not on the way back to her home and growled at Mo Yunchen.
Mo Yunchen looked deeply at her, pulled her face close, and kissed her fiercely. After a long while, with a hoarse voice, he said, "You’re not allowed to leave so casually with others, understand?"
Qin Qin glared at him. "I knew they were An Ruichen’s men behind us; do you think I’m an idiot? And Mo Yunchen... you need to change your attitude; I’m the only one who can tolerate you."
That cold and oppressive attitude who could stand it? Only she, with her strong mental fortitude, could bear it.
Mo Yunchen pressed closer to Qin Qin. "Are you complaining about me?"
Why did Qin Qin feel a hint of grievance in Mo Yunchen’s usually aloof voice? Had she heard wrong?
"If I was complaining about you, I would’ve kicked you to the curb and found another man by now."
