When he arrived at the pharmacy with the milk, Shao He was shocked to see the items on the table.
Her gaze shifted to Yun Qian. Hadn't it been said that milk was no longer available? So what was this?
"May I ask where you purchased this milk?" Yun Qian was also surprised.
The guard did not answer Yun Qian's question, but instead turned to Shao He, delivering his master's message verbatim.
"This is a gift from my master. Firstly, as a consultation fee, and secondly, my master feels a particular affinity with this child."
Shao He was not pretentious; the milk was precisely what the child needed. She nodded slightly and said, "Please convey my thanks to your master for his kindness. Consider it a prepayment of the consultation fee."
The guard bowed and departed, repeating her words when he returned, feeling like a carrier pigeon.
Pei Huaian, upon hearing this, had a faint smile on his lips.
The night was pitch-black, with not a single light visible from hand.
