Was this family bullying him because he was a single dog? Did they think that he was wasting all the dog chow that they had been feeding him, and hence wanted to slaughter him?
What would Leng Jinpeng give to slam the door and leave!
Bullies, all of them!
Seeing that Leng Jinpeng’s mood turned sour, the old master changed the subject.
“Also, look at my legs. This sickness that has plagued me since a few decades ago was nearly cured by Little Girl Nuan. What’s your sickness in comparison? No matter how serious it is, our Little Girl Nuan can cure you! Right, Little Girl Nuan?”
“Mmhmm.”
Zhong Nuannuan looked at Uncle Leng’s pathetic attempt at swallowing dog chow and was on the verge of bursting out in laughter. When she heard her grandfather’s question, she quickly nodded.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll definitely cure Uncle Leng and not embarrass the Chi family.”
Miss Nuan’s mouth was as sweet as honey. Her words made Chi Yang and Old Master Chi so happy that they could not close their mouths.
The old master looked at Leng Jinpeng. “Did you hear that? Our Little Girl Nuan has already sworn by the Chi family’s name, so she’ll definitely cure you. Now, you better receive treatment properly. After you’re done with your work here, you can go back to Emperor District to shine.”
The old master’s words were very clear. After Leng Jinpeng recovered, he would still have to return to Emperor District.
Back then, Leng Jinpeng had no choice but to retreat because he was unwell.
The old master’s words meant that if Leng Jinpeng’s health could improve, he would not be shortchanged of his meritorious services.
Leng Jinpeng was touched, but at the same time, he could not help feeling stifled.
Our Chi family?
Our Little Girl Nuan?
They were not even married yet!
It was really as though they were meant to be family!
He did not want to say anything else. He just wanted to stay silent and be the usual single dog receiving treatment. Only after his body recovered would his immune system be strengthened, and only then would he have a stronger body to deal with the endless torture from this family.
“Uncle Leng, how does it feel in the area where your liver is these few days?”
Zhong Nuannuan felt that it was too much for her family to bully Uncle Leng, who had no wife. Hence, she changed the topic out of goodwill.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore! It doesn’t hurt at all! You said that the thread embedding could only be used for half a month, but it’s almost over and it still doesn’t hurt. This is miraculous!”
“Of course! That’s my granddaughter-in-law, alright!” The old master interrupted smugly.
At this moment, the old man only had eyes for his beautiful and capable granddaughter-in-law. He had long forgotten about his grandson.
This was the first time Zhong Nuannuan had seen Old Master behaving like a typical stubborn old man.
In the past, because she did not like Chi Yang, she kept asking to divorce him. The old master was afraid that she would really divorce Chi Yang, so he had been very tentative toward her. He was afraid that she would insist on going through the divorce if she was unhappy.
Yet, now… Zhong Nuannuan smiled.
It was obvious that her grandfather-in-law liked her very much. He was very happy with her as his granddaughter-in-law.
“It’s good that it doesn’t hurt anymore. However, you know that half a month is almost up, and my previous embedded thread is different from the acupuncture I give you every two days. The embedded thread is to reduce your pain, and acupuncture is the real treatment. So, even if you don’t feel pain, it doesn’t mean it won’t hurt. I’ve already brought the thread today. After the acupuncture later, I’ll have to embed the thread for you.”
“Okay!” Now, Leng Jinpeng listened to everything Nuannuan said.
“Did you take the medicine on time?”
“…Yes!”
“Brat Leng, you have to be honest. Yes means yes; no means no. If you don’t take your medicine on time, you won’t recover so quickly!”
