In the hospital room,
Old Master Si eagerly awaited, hoping to catch a glimpse of two figures.
"Grandfather, Yan Yan and I have come to see you," Si Yechen's voice was clear and melodious.
However, the old man's gaze didn't stay on his grandson for even a second. It was completely fixated on the young girl!
"Are you the young girl who saved me twice?"
Old Master Si didn't expect this girl to be so delicate and pretty. He hadn't carefully looked at her when she saved his life on two previous occasions. He didn't expect her to have such a beautiful appearance, exuding a cold and elegant aura. She was truly outstanding.
One could only say that Si Chen, this kid, was really fortunate!
"Hello, Grandfather Si," Qingyan politely greeted as soon as she entered the room.
She had a refined demeanor, with lively and expressive eyes. Although her icy temperament had mellowed considerably in front of the elderly, her otherworldly and unique charm still shone through.
"Silly child, why are you calling me Grandfather Si? Don't be so formal. We are family; just call me Grandfather!"
Old Master Si was extremely pleased with her and happily said, "You are Si Chen's fiancée, so naturally, you can call me Grandfather, just like he does!"
Qingyan:...
She and Si Yechen were merely acquaintances, far from being engaged.
"I heard from Qingmu that you are the lost child of the Li family. That day, you were about to return to the Li family and incidentally saved me... Yesterday, I drank that soup and ended up in the operating room, and again, it was you who brought me back from the brink of death! If we count, you have saved me twice."
What a miraculous fate!
If it weren't for this young girl, he would have long since reported to the underworld! How could he have had the chance to meet his granddaughter-in-law here?
"But you have suffered during the eighteen years you were lost."
Qingyan was about to say that she hadn't suffered, but she heard him say, "In the future, both the Li family and the Si family will treat you even better!"
Qingyan:...
She could understand the Li family's attitude, but would the Si family be too indulgent?
"Your name is Li Qingyan, right? Not only is your name beautiful, but you are also beautiful," Old Master Si seemed to be saying it for the sake of the housekeeper, Mr. Wen.
Mr. Wen nodded with a smiling face, agreeing that this young girl did indeed look much more pleasing to the eye than Li Yusha. She didn't have any signs of being coy and was a very special girl.
"Look at me, I got so caught up in talking that I forgot to ask you to come and sit here, child." Old Master Si reached out and patted the double sofa by the bed.
Si Yechen's eyes shimmered. Was this sofa newly bought? It seemed that great effort had been put into ensuring that he and the young girl could sit together.
Mr. Wen awkwardly smiled and said, "Young Master, would you like to sit too?!"
Siyechen didn't show any displeasure and naturally sat down next to the young girl.
Now it was unexpectedly Grandpa Si's turn to be surprised. It seemed like his grandson treated this young girl differently?!
"Yanyan, I heard Qingmu say you just finished the college entrance examination. Do you have any university you want to attend? Grandpa will arrange it for you!"
Qingyan obediently replied, "Not at the moment."
"How about Peking University then? I know the old headmaster of Peking University!"
Seeing that his granddaughter was still being cared about her studies even after the college entrance examination, Siyechen intervened, changing the topic, "Did you take your medicine today?"
As soon as medicine was mentioned, Grandpa Si's brows furrowed deeply. "That Chinese medicine is incredibly bitter! It's disgustingly awful! I don't know who prescribed it, but whoever drinks it will immediately choke to death!"
Everyone silently looked at Qingyan.
They only heard the young girl calmly speak, "I prescribed it."
Grandpa Si's expression exploded. He didn't expect his daughter-in-law not only to see a doctor and perform surgeries but also to prescribe medicine...
He immediately changed his tone, "Although it's a bit bitter when it enters the mouth, good medicine has a bitter taste but is beneficial for the illness. After drinking it, have a piece of candy, and it will instantly sweeten your heart. That kind of sweetness is just like the care my daughter-in-law shows me..."
"Then you should drink it," Siyechen calmly added.
Grandpa Si was full of domineering spirit. "Old Wen, bring the medicine to me! I was going to drink it anyway. I just forgot because I was happy seeing my daughter-in-law!"
Ha, what a lie you've made up!
Even Butler Wen didn't want to expose it!
Just a moment ago, when Miss Qingyan hadn't come up, you were still criticizing this medicine. Ghosts wouldn't want to be reborn after smelling it, and people would rather hang themselves than live. How did it suddenly change?
Do you dare say it again in front of Miss Qingyan?
"The medicine my daughter-in-law prescribed, I can drink three big bowls of it!"
Qingyan:...
You don't have to drink so much...
Butler Wen brought the thermos of Chinese medicine to Grandpa Si, and he tilted his head back and drank it all in one go!
That appearance was particularly generous!
"It's really tasty!"
Qingmu saw that Grandpa Si's brows were furrowed like wrinkles, and it was truly pitiful.
Butler Wen also knew that the taste of this Chinese medicine was indescribable, but there was nothing they could do because the person who prescribed it was right here!
Moreover, this medicine was good for the body when consumed!
"How do you feel today?" Qingyan asked with concern.
"When you and Achen come to see me, I feel happy, and all my pains disappear!" Just as Grandpa Si finished speaking, he suddenly covered his chest, looking uncomfortable.
Before Qingyan had a chance to take his pulse, she saw him bend over and forcefully spit out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone was shocked!
"Grandpa?"
"Sir, are you okay?"
"What's going on? Sir, wait, let me call a doctor!"
"Miss Qingyan is a doctor. Qingyan, please quickly check on Sir. What's wrong with him?"
Qingyan reached out to pulse him and seemed to sense something. She lifted her sparkling eyes and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
Siyechen and Qingmu immediately turned their gaze to the old master, unable to believe it!
"No... I haven't...," the old master knew he couldn't hide it anymore and reluctantly admitted, "Well, I did have a little bit."
Qingyan raised an eyebrow, "A whole bottle?"
"How did you know?" the old master looked at her incredulously. How could she figure that out?! She must be more than a divine healer, she's a goddess!
Qingyan curled her lips, "The bottle was empty."
The old master turned his head and saw the bottle hidden in the quilt, which had somehow been exposed. He quickly looked at the butler Wen and whispered, "Didn't I tell you to hide it properly?"
"I... I didn't expect it to be exposed...," Wen stammered.
The master and Miss Qingyan suddenly appeared, and he didn't have time to hide!
"Grandfather," Siyechen's deep voice carried a hint of displeasure.
He knew his grandson was going to lecture him again...
The old master quickly waved his hand, "Alright, alright, I know. I just couldn't resist the temptation for a moment! I couldn't help but drink more. I was happy when my daughter-in-law came! Today, with my daughter-in-law here, she can testify that I won't do it again."
Siyechen raised an eyebrow coldly, "Can we trust what you're saying?"
"Alright! Why not?" the old master hurriedly said, "If you don't believe me, let my daughter-in-law come and check my pulse every day! See if I've been drinking!"
Siyechen turned to the girl next to him and said, "I think it's necessary to prescribe a few more doses of medicine for Grandfather to regulate his health."
"No!" the old master exclaimed.
The medicine from earlier was more bitter than his life!
If he took a few more doses, he would die on the spot!!
"Who told you to give in to temptation?" Siyechen deliberately said, "Didn't they say the medicine prescribed by our daughter-in-law could be drunk in three big bowls?"
