Upon hearing Tang Yichen’s self-introduction, Lan An and Mu Huai were taken aback for a moment, then adjusted their expressions.
Though they felt a bit confused as to why the Divine Doctor Gu’s (Master’s) brother had a different surname from hers, both Lan An and Mu Huai still politely introduced themselves to Tang Yichen.
Lan An: "Hello, my name is Lan An."
Mu Huai: "Hello, my name is Mu Huai."
Tang Yichen nodded at Lan An, and after hearing Mu Huai’s introduction, he was surprised, "Mu Huai? The owner of the Twilight Returns Pharmacy?"
Mu Huai didn’t expect Tang Yichen to know him and paused for a moment before nodding at Tang Yichen, "You know me?"
"I saw you once when I went to the Twilight Returns Pharmacy to buy medicine." Tang Yichen said, glancing at Gu Zhiqi and then at Mu Huai, "How do you know Gu Xiaoxi?"
He remembered, the last time he went to the Twilight Returns Pharmacy, the two clearly acted like they didn’t know each other. How come in such a short time...
Mu Huai was silent for two seconds, then said, "I am a patient of the Divine Doctor Gu."
He and Gu Zhiqi knew each other because of Lan An, and also because of the treatment.
At that time, he was suffering from a severe cold poison, at death’s door.
Then, Lan An came to the Twilight Returns Pharmacy, saying she was there to buy Xuan Yue Silk from him.
Mu Huai didn’t know where she had learned that he had Xuan Yue Silk, out of curiosity, he asked her. Lan An wouldn’t say until they became familiar later, she said it was her Master who told her.
Indeed, he had Xuan Yue Silk in his possession, but he wouldn’t sell it easily.
At that time, he was on the verge of death, having lost hope in life, and didn’t want to deal with any customers, so he didn’t sell the Xuan Yue Silk to Lan An.
Seeing that he wouldn’t sell it, Lan An proposed to treat his illness on the condition that he would sell the Xuan Yue Silk to her after being cured.
Mu Huai thought Lan An was daydreaming. However, as he was bored, he agreed to Lan An’s proposal.
In the end, Lan An didn’t cure him but invited her Master, which was the Divine Doctor Gu.
Afterward, he and Lan An became familiar and quickly fell in love.
During the time they confirmed their relationship, they had lost contact with the Divine Doctor Gu.
They tried to contact her several times but couldn’t get through. Not long after, Mr. Tang brought them the key. To safeguard the key, they settled in the black market. After Lan An was poisoned later, they hardly left the black market.
Strictly speaking, Mu Huai and Gu Zhiqi couldn’t be considered familiar. To Mu Huai, Gu Zhiqi was his lifesaver, his lover’s Master.
To Gu Zhiqi, Mu Huai thought he was probably just another patient among thousands.
Listening to Mu Huai’s response, Tang Yichen understood but still had some doubts in his heart.
So, Gu Xiaoxi’s patient. It’s normal for Gu Xiaoxi to have patients since her medical skills are so great.
But... in just a few days, how did they seem to become so familiar?
Although puzzled in his heart, Tang Yichen didn’t ask further. He nodded at Mu Huai, then looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Where are you all going?"
"I’m also heading to eat. Let’s go together," Tang Yichen said, glancing at Mu Huai and Lan An, "You two don’t mind, right?"
Mu Huai and Lan An silently shook their heads.
Though there was a little reluctance in their hearts, considering he was the Divine Doctor Gu’s (Master’s) brother, they had to give face.
Thus, the group of three became four, and after walking some distance and approaching the elevator doors, Tang Yichen suddenly stopped, "Uh, do you mind adding one more person?"
Mu Huai and Lan An stopped and looked at Tang Yichen.
