Liu Zixuan snorted at the words, "At least that kid knows his place, or I'd have to teach him a lesson!"
"Old Wei, you still need to handle the specifics of the National Medical Association. I can handle treating diseases, but that kind of thing feels too complicated for me."
Old Wei laughed, "Don't worry, I've already thought about it. After we cure Ying Qingning's illness tomorrow, we'll head over to Ghost Wood City Medical University. First, to introduce you to your assistant, and second, to recruit some fresh blood for our association."
"My assistant?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow and asked playfully, "A man or a woman?"
"You rascal." Old Wei gave him an exasperated look, "You'll find out tomorrow; you definitely won't be disappointed!"
"Keeping it a mystery, huh." Liu Zixuan grinned and said goodbye to Old Wei as he headed towards Little Bridge Apartments.
Driving on the road as night fell, the neon lights flickered by, and there were many people hurriedly passing by, marking the beginning of tonight's nightlife.
Liu Zixuan slowed down, watching the hustle of company white-collars and grassroots workers walking briskly, while some young couples strolled leisurely on the street, giving a sense of ease.
It seems this is the only leisure time people have after a busy day!
When he arrived at Little Bridge Apartments, he saw Liu Ruyan and the little girl carrying grocery baskets as they were walking back.
Liu Zixuan got out of the car and smiled, "Didn't Miss Yiyi go shopping with you?"
"Yiyi is too tired these days. Let her rest," Liu Ruyan gave Liu Zixuan a look, "But you, you're missing all the time."
"I just went to Mengyu's home." Liu Zixuan said with an awkward smile.
"How's his father? Is he cured?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"It's pretty much cured."
"What do you mean by 'pretty much,' aren't you supposed to be the great Doctor Liu?" Liu Ruyan teased.
Liu Zixuan took the grocery basket from her hands and walked while explaining what happened.
Upon learning what Mengyu's father was like, even the usually gentle Liu Ruyan couldn't help but get a little angry.
The angriest was the little girl.
She pouted and said angrily, "I didn't expect my goddess Mengyu to grow up in such a family. I really feel it's unfair for her!"
"Doudou, I'm curious. Men call beautiful women goddesses, but you also call beautiful women goddesses? Don't girls always see some handsome guy and call him a god?"
Doudou scratched her head and giggled, "Because I'm different!"
"Smart little devil!" Liu Zixuan pinched the little girl's cheek and laughed.
"Brother Zixuan, stop pinching my cheeks, okay? I'm not a child anymore. I'm a little internet star now. It wouldn't look good if my fans saw it!" The little girl said with a huff.
Liu Zixuan pouted, "Oh, so our little Doudou can get angry! Fine, I won't pinch you anymore. I'll just give you a pat, okay?"
"Brother Zixuan, you're a bad person!" The little girl exclaimed in mock anger and ran into the room.
"You're always trying to have the last word with everyone," Liu Ruyan gave him a look, "Come to the kitchen and help me!"
"Yes, my dear wife!"
Liu Zixuan grinned and started preparing dinner in the kitchen with Liu Ruyan.
Just imagining the scene is delightful!
The beautiful Liu Ruyan stood in front of the stove, wearing an apron and holding a spatula while Liu Zixuan playfully splashed water, some of which got on Liu Ruyan's face, leading her to scold him playfully.
Such a blissful little life is truly enviable!
About half an hour later, a feast was spread on the dining table.
The family sat around, eating and drinking merrily, a picture of happiness.
After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa to watch TV together.
"Brother Zixuan, when can I see goddess Mengyu again? I want to get her autograph!" The little girl, who was upset with Liu Zixuan earlier, now sat beside him with a big smile!
Such innocence and simplicity!
"You can see her tomorrow. She's coming to the company to discuss promotional material with Yiyi. You can ask for her autograph and photos, no problem. Just mention my name, it will work!" Liu Zixuan said proudly.
The little girl nodded excitedly, imagining, "Having a photo with my goddess will be amazing!"
"You're an internet celebrity now and admire her lifestyle; why don't you become her apprentice and let her train you to be an actress?" Liu Zixuan suddenly suggested.
"No." At this topic, the little girl suddenly became serious, "I heard the entertainment industry is chaotic; I don't want to go."
"What are you planning to do in the future? You won't do live streaming forever, will you?"
"Of course not. Streaming is just something I do in my spare time for fun." The little girl turned to Liu Zixuan, saying seriously, "I want to study medicine. I want to become a doctor like you so that when my loved ones get ill, I can easily treat them."
"You want to study medicine?"
This question wasn't from Liu Zixuan but from Liu Ruyan and Jiang Yiyi, who simultaneously asked, feeling that such a cute little girl couldn't possibly want to study medicine!
Jiang Yiyi chuckled, "Doudou, don't study medicine. Come find me, and when our company expands, I'll make you a store manager!"
"No way!" The little girl said stubbornly, "I want to study medicine. It's been my dream since I was a child. I don't want to helplessly watch my loved ones sick, waiting for someone else to save them."
Hearing the little girl's words moved them slightly. Liu Ruyan even pulled her into an embrace, her eyes full of doting affection.
Liu Zixuan thought for a moment and then smiled, "Perfect, I'm going to the Medical University tomorrow, I'll take you along. You can have a look, and if you still like it, I'll let you study there in the future."
"Really!" The little girl smiled excitedly, but then looked worried, "But I haven't studied before. I haven't even finished high school."
"With me around, is there anything that can't be handled?" Liu Zixuan laughed, "If they don't accept you, I'll teach you medical skills myself, and make you the youngest great doctor in the world!"
"Here he goes boasting again." Jiang Yiyi said, standing up to head to the bedroom.
"You little brat. So what if I boast? I tell you, not only will I boast today, but I'll keep boasting every day right in front of you."
