Nalan Xue could only take out her phone and answer the call, which was, of course, from Jiang Gao.
"Where are you? What are you doing? Why have you been gone so long?" Jiang Gao asked.
Nalan Xue felt somewhat guilty, but she steadied her nerves and replied, "Where could I go? I'm in the villa's kitchen."
"Didn't Divine Doctor Su say that you need to take medicine twice a day, morning and evening?"
"I'm learning how Divine Doctor Su prepares the medicine, so when Divine Doctor Su is not here, I can prepare it for you."
As she spoke about preparing the medicine for Jiang Gao, Su Fan's large hand was already sneaking under the hem of her clothing.
This made Nalan Xue, who was already quite tense, even more nervous.
In the room, Jiang Gao paused upon hearing Nalan Xue's words.
But he was obviously not easy to fool and immediately asked, "Don't you have to go to work at the TV station during this time? How are you going to prepare the medicine for me?"
Jiang Gao was not easy to deceive, and of course, Nalan Xue was not someone to be casually manipulated by Jiang Gao.
She promptly said, "I had a traffic accident before and was supposed to go to the hospital for treatment every day."
"Now that you're also ill, I might as well stay home and recover with you while simultaneously taking care of you."
Mayor Jiang had nothing to say after hearing her suggestion.
His attitude had been a bit stern earlier, mainly because he was feeling unwell.
Now, as he calmed down, his tone softened, "You've worked hard, wife. I was a bit irritable just now and in a bad mood. I apologize to you."
Despite being the Mayor of Yang City, Jiang Gao didn't always carry himself with an air of superiority.
He was a person who could take charge or step back, was flexible, and could adapt to different situations.
Luckily, Nalan Xue was a smart woman; otherwise, she would have been thoroughly devoured by a man like Jiang Gao, leaving nothing but bones and remnants.
After Jiang Gao apologized, Nalan Xue was about to speak but quickly covered her mouth in pain.
It turned out that just then, Su Fan had boldly pinched her plump and round breast.
The pain nearly made her cry out.
Fortunately, she did not make a sound but immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth.
After giving Su Fan a stern look, Nalan Xue spoke, "That's enough, there's no need for such words between a husband and wife."
"Shall I come take care of you now, or shall I continue watching Divine Doctor Su prepare the medicine?"
Jiang Gao thought for a moment and didn't answer directly but asked, "Ask Divine Doctor Su if the medicine can be prepared at the affiliated hospital and then sent to the villa every day?"
In his opinion, preparing the medicine at home was too much trouble.
Traditional Chinese medicine was different from other medicines; there were specifics about when to add water and when to reduce the heat.
Nalan Xue was not a professional Chinese doctor and obviously would not be able to learn how to prepare medicine immediately.
In this case, the best solution was, of course, for Su Fan to have the medicine ready at the hospital.
Then Su Fan could bring the Chinese medicine with him when he came over to their house to treat Jiang Gao.
Nalan Xue did not hesitate and repeated what Jiang Gao had said on the phone to Su Fan.
"Doctor Su, Mayor Jiang is asking if the Chinese medicinal concoctions for his treatment can be prepared at your hospital?"
"Then when you leave the hospital to come over here to treat Mayor Jiang, you could bring the Chinese medicinal concoctions with you."
Su Fan nodded, as this was not a big deal at all.
"Sure, I'll bring the Chinese medicine concoctions from the hospital when I come over to administer Mayor Jiang's orthopedic massage," he said.
His response did not require Nalan Xue to relay, as Jiang Gao could hear it clearly.
After he said this, there was naturally no issue on Jiang Gao's end.
