Chapter 426: Chapter 376: Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? Miss Turns Things Upside Down 16_3
After she finished speaking and saw that Xie Yanshang had no reaction, she got up on her own, put the chair back in place, and tiptoed out the door, then quietly closed the door behind her.
It wasn’t until the door closed completely with a “click” that Xie Yanshang’s gaze shifted to the doorway, and he stopped typing on his keyboard, somewhat unexpectedly. The girl he saw today was different from other teenagers of her age that he had encountered before.
The girl didn’t look very old, probably just a middle schooler, but she had an air about her as if she had been maturing in this world for many years, very gentle and appealing. Even after learning that her body was in such a deficit, she was not anxious, nor was she in a hurry, or irritable, but rather calm.
Even when she didn’t get his contact information, she didn’t show any dissatisfaction. It is known that kids of this age are very sensitive to face; if they don’t get what they want, they usually make a face right there and can’t control their emotions. But the girl in front of him managed all this perfectly.
A different emotion rose in his heart, but it was only that, a fleeting thought.
After checking that today’s appointments had come to an end, Xie Yanshang tidied up his things, shut down the computer, and prepared to leave the hospital.
Meanwhile, at the pharmacy.
Su Qin quickly got the medicine. He didn’t have it processed into granules but instead had the pharmacy prepare the herbs, planning to let the housemaid stew them for Su Zhiruan. Seeing Su Zhiruan come out, he immediately went to her and said, “Why did you come out? Ruanruan, Daddy has got the medicine, let’s go. When we get home, Daddy will have the housemaid stew the medicine for you every day, to see if we can replenish your health. Before, I didn’t take you to the hospital for a good check-up. From now on, we must take our medicine diligently, and Daddy will buy you some nutritional supplements like ginseng and Lingzhi, all the major tonic herbs; you will eat them well, my daughter! You must become the healthiest and most lively girl in the world, so don’t worry about anything else,” he said.
After Su Qin’s litany of instructions, he carried two large bags of medicine in his hands, while Su Zhiruan followed closely on his right, occasionally nodding her head in agreement with what he was saying.
“Shall we go home now, Daddy? It’s about time,” Su Zhiruan said, pulling out her phone to check the time, then looking at Su Qin, “Let’s go home!”
“Alright, just as my daughter says, let’s go home and have the housemaid prepare a big table of delicious food for you. Later, Daddy will have them make you nourishing soups every day, and you must cure your illness!”
The father and daughter talked as they walked toward the parking lot. Su Qin had been experiencing quite a bit of emotional fluctuation recently. Feeling closer to his daughter was a positive, but he didn’t expect her to have so many issues, and her frailty and weakness made him determined to have the housemaid make all sorts of delicious food for her. He aimed to fatten her up, pledging to pay more attention to good food that he could bring home for Su Zhiruan as treats.
As they chatted, they quickly reached the parking lot. Su Qin put the things in the back seat and said, “Get in the car first, Ruanruan. The sun is strong outside; be careful not to get sunburnt!”
Su Zhiruan nodded and was about to speak when she heard Su Qin’s phone ringing. She considerately said, “Daddy, your phone is ringing. Is there something at the company? You should answer it!”
Su Qin took out his phone and saw that it was indeed a call from a senior executive of his company. He apologized to Su Zhiruan with a look and said, “Then Daddy will go to make a call first, you wait in the car for a while, I will be right back, and don’t run around.”
Su Zhiruan obediently nodded her head.
Once Su Qin walked away, he went under the shade of a nearby tree to answer the call, talking to the executive on the other end. Su Zhiruan opened the car door, ready to get in. At that moment, she saw a person walking toward her from a distance. It was none other than Xie Yanshang, who had just seen her for a consultation.
Xie Yanshang hadn’t initially seen Su Zhiruan, but when he got to his car, he then noticed the girl standing next to it.
Their eyes met, both reflecting surprise.
“Xie Doctor, is this your car?” Su Zhiruan said, looking at the limited edition Ferrari next to him, sensing she knew the answer in her heart.
This car was the only one in all of Jinghua—
The original owner and she had not paid much attention to cars, but when this car had made the news, many people had wondered who the owner could be, with widespread speculation. She hadn’t expected to come across the answer so unexpectedly.
“What a coincidence,” she said.
