Chapter 118: Thought He didn’t know what She was thinking? (3)

Chen Xiuqi’s second aunt, Zhang Guifang, had her own TCM obstetrics and gynecology hospital and she was an expert in both fields. She was only in office during the mornings of every Tuesday and Friday but there was always a long queue for her. If Chen Xiuqi hadn’t told her about this in advance, then he wouldn’t even be able to get a number if he just brought her over.

Zhang Guifang set aside one Friday afternoon slot for them and just waited for Chen Xiuqi to bring her over. When Chen Xiuqi arrived with Su Yaya, Zhang Guifang was busy organizing the patient’s files in the office. She was wearing a white lab coat while she looked through the records seriously. She looked no different from any other doctor from other hospitals.

“Auntie,” Chen Xiuqi called out to her while bringing Su Yaya in.

Su Yaya quickly greeted her as well. “Hello, auntie.”

Zhang Guifang looked up from the files and saw the two of them. She smiled, “I’ve been waiting a long time for you. What took you so long? Come and sit. I’ll take a look at you after I’m done with this record.”

Chen Xiuqi said, “Please, go ahead. We’ll wait for you.”

“There’s water at the side, please help yourselves,” Zhang Guifang offered.

Chen Xiuqi answered, “Thank you.”

The two of them spoke freely and naturally. Su Yaya could see that the relationship between Zhang Guifang and Chen Xiuqi was not bad. When she was reading the novel, though Chen Xiuqi’s family situation was not described, she still thought that with a wealthy family like Chen Xiuqi with over billions in properties, the family was probably locked in an endless fight for the money and that there probably wasn’t much good feelings between them.

But right now, when she saw how Zhang Guifang and Chen Xiuqi spoke with each other, she felt like she had just been slapped on the face. Zhang Guifang and Chen Xiuqi clearly had a good relationship, and it wasn’t faked. They were really close to each other.

If Chen Xiuqi’s relationship with his second aunt was good, then his relationship with his second uncle probably wouldn’t be all that bad either. Even though Su Yaya had never met him, that was how she felt. Chen Xiuqi’s relationship with his second uncle and his family must be rather harmonious.

Zhang Guifang was quickly done with her file. She came over to take a look at Su Yaya, and she told her to stretch her right hand out so she could check her pulse. After a moment, she switched to the left wrist.

After she was done, Zhang Guifang began writing her prescription. While she was doing that, she said to Su Yaya, “There’s no major problems. As long as you take your medicine and condition your body properly, it’ll get better in the future. I’ll prescribe one course of medicine for you first. Come and see me again after you finish it.”

“Thank you, auntie,” Chen Xiuqi quickly thanked her.

Zhang Guifang raised her head to look at him and smiled.

Su Yaya reached out to tug at Chen Xiuqi. The corners of her mouth moved, reminding him to mentioned what he promised to.

Chen Xiuqi was amused, and he really said to Zhang Guifang, “Auntie, Yaya says she’s afraid of bitter medicine, and she says not to give her anything bitter!”

Zhang Guifang stopped writing and raised her eyes to look at Su Yaya. There a look of amusement in her eyes. Su Yaya felt her cheeks grow red from being looked at like that. She was too embarrassed to look at Zhang Guifang and turned to shoot a glare at Chen Xiuqi instead. It was a look filled with grievances—How could you do that?

Chen Xiuqi reached out to pet her head and looked seriously at Zhang Guifang. “Auntie, are there any ways to make the medicine not bitter?”

Zhang Guifang saw the interactions between the two of them. They seem to be doing much better now compared to how they were back at the ancestral home. So, she smiled and said, “If you don’t want it to be bitter, then just add sugar! Tons of sugar!”
