The next morning, Wan Yunting woke up precisely at seven and began practicing his boxing in the courtyard. His second sister-in-law, Wang Chulin, also got up punctually at seven-thirty. She greeted Wan Yunting with a smile from outside before heading directly to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
At eight o'clock, after finishing his practice, Wan Yunting went upstairs to change into casual clothes. He then went to wake Wan'er, and after helping her with her morning routine, it was already eight-thirty. They then went downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Good morning, third brother. Come quickly, breakfast is ready."
His second brother, Wan Dongming, was dressed in a white shirt and suit pants. Nowadays, apart from Sundays, he was at the company every day.
"Good morning, second brother."
Wan Yunting pulled Wan'er along, placed her in a child's high chair, and began to eat.
"Is Manni still asleep?"
Wang Chulin, carrying fried dough sticks, looked towards Ye Manni's closed bedroom door. Wan Yunting, while drinking his congee, chuckled and said, "That girl stayed up late playing. Let her sleep a little longer."
"Second aunt, I need to go to the toilet," Wan'er suddenly called out before even taking two bites.
Wan Yunting turned to look at her and smiled, "Why didn't you say so upstairs?"
Wan'er turned her head and yelled at him, "Because I didn't want to then, but I want to now."
Wan Yunting tapped her little head and chuckled, "I think you just don't want to eat breakfast. Come on, I'll take you..."
Wang Chulin came over and said with a smile, "I'll take her."
Wan Dongming also stopped Wan Yunting, "Let Chulin take her. Third brother, I need to tell you something."
Watching his second sister-in-law take Wan'er to the restroom, Wan Yunting turned back to his second brother. Wan Dongming said, "Lawyer Chi called me yesterday. Eldest sister's trial is on the 23rd!"
"Oh, is that confirmed?" Wan Yunting asked.
"It's confirmed for the 23rd."
Wan Dongming nodded, sighing, "I wonder what the verdict will be."
Wan Yunting knew his second brother was worried and smiled, "Don't worry, all the evidence is in favor of eldest sister and Hou Bing. Besides, the Cheng family isn't pursuing it either, so the sentence won't be too severe."
"Well, I hope eldest sister and the others won't be severely punished," Wan Dongming nodded and sighed.
At that moment, Wang Chulin returned with Wan'er after her trip to the restroom. The two brothers stopped their conversation and smiled at Wan'er, "Quick, eat your breakfast."
"I want to eat fried dough sticks."
Wan'er pointed at the fried dough sticks with her little finger. Wan Yunting handed her one, "Just one, okay? You can't eat too many fried dough sticks, eat it with your congee."
"I know, third uncle. You always say that."
Wan'er gave Wan Yunting a cute glance with her big eyes and started to tear off a piece of the fried dough stick with her small hand.
Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin both laughed. Then Wan Yunting looked at them and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, why haven't you guys had any news yet?"
"News? What news?"
Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin looked surprised, momentarily taken aback by the question.
"Tsk, of course, it's about giving me a great-nephew or great-niece," Wan Yunting said.
"Ah."
Wan Dongming laughed, and Wang Chulin smiled shyly.
But Wan Yunting asked seriously, "Second brother, have you been consistently taking the medicine I prescribed?"
"Yes, I took it every day for the first two months," Wan Dongming said, feeling a bit embarrassed by the question.
"Second sister-in-law, let me take your pulse."
Wan Yunting then said to Wang Chulin.
"Now?"
Wang Chulin's pretty face blushed, making her even more embarrassed.
"Give me your hand."
However, Wan Yunting paid no mind to their shyness and took Wang Chulin's left hand to check her pulse, much to Wan Dongming's wry amusement.
"Oh!"
As a result, Wan Yunting's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Second sister-in-law, give me your right hand, let me see again..."
Wang Chulin blinked and obediently handed him her right hand. Wan Yunting took it and carefully felt her pulse. His expression grew increasingly animated, and he exclaimed with delight, "Second sister-in-law, you have a pregnancy pulse!"
"Ah..."
This time, Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin were stunned. Wan Yunting nodded happily, "It's absolutely correct. Second sister-in-law, you're over a month pregnant, which is why you haven't experienced any morning sickness yet."
"Really."
Wan Dongming excitedly stood up. Wang Chulin was also stunned, her pretty face showing her disbelief.
"Congratulations, second brother and second sister-in-law! You've finally conceived."
Wan Yunting was extremely happy. Their Wan family was finally about to welcome a new generation.
"Haha, that's wonderful, my dear..."
Wan Dongming was overcome with emotion and excitedly held Wang Chulin's small hand, tears of joy streaming down his face.
Because he had married into the Wang family as a live-in son-in-law and Wang Chulin had been ill at the time, they had been unable to have children. Now that Wang Chulin had fully recovered, and they had finally conceived, Wan Dongming couldn't help but be excited and happy.
Seeing the happy, red-rimmed eyes of the couple, Wan Yunting turned to Wan'er and smiled, "Wan'er, you'll have a younger brother or sister soon. Aren't you happy?"
"Can my little brother or sister play with me?" Wan'er asked with shining eyes and a cute expression.
"Of course."
"Wow, that's great!"
Wan'er clapped her little hands happily. She usually played alone at home as her mother wasn't around, and she felt quite bored. Hearing that she would have a younger sibling made her overjoyed.
"Third brother, you need to hurry up too,"
Wan Dongming, having calmed his excitement, turned to Wan Yunting and smiled, "Have you gotten back together with Fang Yanxi?"
"Hmm, I guess so," Wan Yunting chuckled sheepishly.
"Since you've gotten back together, you should get married soon. You're not young anymore," Wan Dongming said with a smile.
Wan Yunting finished his congee, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and coughed lightly before saying with a smile, "We'll talk about that later. Second brother, second sister-in-law, I'm off to work now. Bye..."
"Hey, this kid, he runs away whenever this topic comes up..."
Wan Dongming shook his head with a wry smile as he watched Wan Yunting quickly leave. With his eldest sister away, he, as the second brother, was the head of the family and naturally felt anxious about Wan Yunting's marriage and having children.
Since he had parked his car at the stadium the previous day, Wan Yunting took a taxi to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department and found that there were still many people who had specifically come to see him for consultations.
Wan Yunting quickly went upstairs to his consulting room, changed into his white coat, tidied up, and began seeing patients...
He was busy until noon without a break. Finally, when there were no more patients, Wan Yunting and Dai Qiuyue seized the opportunity to eat lunch. Just then, Jiang Yichun returned, and everyone greeted him, "Director Jiang, have you had lunch?"
"Yes, I've eaten,"
Jiang Yichun waved with a smile and then said to Wan Yunting and Dai Qiuyue, "Xiao Wan, Qiuyue, at three o'clock this afternoon, at our Traditional Chinese Medicine University, there will be a medical competition to elect a vice-chairman!"
Wan Yunting paused and asked, "Are they all here?"
"Yes, basically everyone who could come has arrived," Jiang Yichun nodded.
The reason the medical competition was being held this afternoon was that the senior masters from other provinces had invited their grandchildren to Hua Du City to participate in the election for the Vice-Chairman of the Lingnan Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Now, the young Chinese medicine practitioners from several provinces who considered themselves qualified to run for vice-chairman had basically arrived in Hua Du City.
Of course, not just anyone could participate in this medical duel!
They had all been meticulously screened by the association's elders, including Gu Yuanbai and Jiang Yichun, Ding Huixiang and Meng Kang, Song Chengqi and Wei Datong, who deemed them qualified and capable of serving as vice-chairman. These young individuals were then selected to participate in the medical duel.
Therefore, the number of participants this time was a total of thirty-three talented young individuals, including Wan Yunting and Dai Qiuyue...
