"So it's this girl," Elder Chang squinted at Kang Nuolan and said with a smile, "What, are you learning our ancestors' traditional martial arts now and not those Taekwondo things?"
In fact, as early as two years ago, Elder Chang had already seen that Kang Nuolan was a good prospect for martial arts!
But back then, Kang Nuolan didn't believe in traditional martial arts at all. She was focused on learning Taekwondo, so she didn't listen to Elder Chang, thinking he was just an old man practicing Tai Chi and exercising in the small park.
"Haha, you refused Elder Chang too?"
Seeing Chang Wude's helpless old face, Wan Yunting couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect Kang Nuolan to have refused Elder Chang just like himself back then.
But now Kang Nuolan was still a bit confused. After Wan Yunting was glared at by Chang Wude, he said to Kang Nuolan, "Don't really think he's just a regular security guard in our school. He's actually a true hidden master of national martial arts!"
Kang Nuolan's pretty face froze, and Yang Siyu, her companion with big round eyes, was also stunned. Chang Wude, who was sitting on the stool, immediately put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but nod and straighten his chest. He picked up an empty wine bottle from the table and poured vigorously, but only got two drops of wine. He then said with dissatisfaction to Wan Yunting, "Bring two more bottles next time. Oh, right, I actually like Maotai!"
Wan Yunting felt speechless and amused, nodding repeatedly, "Alright, I'll have someone send you a few bottles of top-grade Maotai."
"That's more like it."
Chang Wude stood up with satisfaction, picked up his fan, and walked out to sit on the lounge chair by the door. Looking at Kang Nuolan who followed him out, he said, "Is this girl learning from you?"
"Yes."
Wan Yunting nodded, pointing at Kang Nuolan with a smile, "I unblocked her Ren and Du meridians last month, and she's already at the intermediate stage of dark energy."
"Not bad."
Elder Chang also saw Kang Nuolan's current foundation and chuckled, "Girl, if you had learned from me two years earlier, you would have surpassed him by now."
This made Wan Yunting, Kang Nuolan's teacher, a bit embarrassed. He coughed and said, "I was going to ask if you could give her some pointers, Elder Chang, but seeing as you want to teach her, I don't need to say anything more."
"Alright, I'll teach her for your sake."
Elder Chang's old eyes glanced at Wan Yunting. He lay back on the chair, fanning himself with his palm-leaf fan, and said with a smile, "It's good to have someone by your side to help you."
Wan Yunting understood what he meant and then smiled at Kang Nuolan, "From now on, whenever you have time, come to Elder Chang for pointers. He can teach you what I can't."
"Okay."
Kang Nuolan nodded. Although she didn't feel that Elder Chang was a hidden martial arts master, she trusted Wan Yunting.
"Elder Chang, I'll be heading back if there's nothing else. I'll come by another day to drink with you," Wan Yunting nodded, then said with a smile to Chang Wude.
"Go on, remember to send me wine."
Elder Chang waved his fan and continued to rest his legs crossed, shaking his head to the Cantonese opera music...
"Don't worry."
Wan Yunting smiled and then led Kang Nuolan and Yang Siyu out of the school gate. After giving her a few brief instructions, Wan Yunting drove away from the university and headed back to Southern Hospital.
Jiang Yichun and Li Chengde had gone to help at the Chinese Medicine Association. Wan Yunting went to the hospital specifically to visit Hu Yaqing. Her back condition had recovered very well, and she was already working from her hospital bed, with her secretary accompanying her.
When Hu Yaqing saw him, she revealed a gentle smile and chatted with him...
This scene made the secretary beside her look at Wan Yunting with surprise. After all, Hu Yaqing, as the mayor of Hua Du, always appeared as a stern, strict, and decisive strong woman. If any subordinate couldn't handle a task, she would scold them severely. Therefore, the secretary had never seen a gentle smile on Hu Yaqing's face before.
So the secretary was secretly astonished, quietly appraising Wan Yunting. Someone who could make Mayor Hu smile so warmly must not be an ordinary person...
After coming out of Hu Yaqing's ward, Wan Yunting went directly back to the Chinese Medicine Department to continue working. Although few people came to see him, he had to hold his clinic. Meanwhile, Dai Xiaotong, Zhang Guilin, and Yang Cheng, three young physicians, specifically came to ask him for advice on medical matters...
At the main entrance on the first floor, a woman in a blue one-piece dress walked in. Her long, black, lustrous hair was elegantly draped over her shoulders. Her beautiful eyes were as bright as autumn water, with curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes, and a faint rosy red lip. Her features were exquisite, and her entire demeanor was dignified and reserved.
Accompanying her was a middle-aged man in a designer suit. The resemblance between his eyes and the woman's indicated they were father and daughter.
"Are you here to see a doctor?"
Sister Yan, who was sitting at the front desk on the first floor eating melon seeds, glanced at the two of them and asked, "Do you have an appointment with a doctor?"
Dai Qiuyue, with her father Dai Hanchi, went over and politely asked, "Excuse me, is Wan Yunting working here?"
Sister Yan paused and smiled, "Oh, you're looking for Doctor Wan. He's on the second floor. Just go up, turn left, and his clinic is the second door."
"Thank you."
Dai Qiuyue nodded and then took her father directly upstairs...
At this moment, in the clinic, Wan Yunting was discussing professional topics about acupuncture with Zhang Guilin and the other two. He then turned his head to look at the doorway and was stunned. He met Dai Qiuyue's alluring gaze, and they looked at each other.
Zhang Guilin and Yang Cheng, the other two, also turned around and looked strangely at Wan Yunting and Dai Qiuyue, who were looking at each other. They asked, "Are you here to see Doctor Wan? Come in quickly..."
"Why are you here?"
Wan Yunting, who had snapped back to reality, looked at Dai Qiuyue and said with a surprised smile.
Dai Qiuyue showed a soft smile, her eyes fixed on Wan Yunting, and said, "I'm here to invite you to dinner!"
Wan Yunting was taken aback. He immediately remembered when he left her by the roadside in Daqili and said goodbye, Dai Qiuyue said she owed him her life. At that time, Wan Yunting had replied, "If you really want to thank me, then when you return to the country, invite me for a meal in Huadu to thank me."
This made Wan Yunting laugh. He pointed to the clock hanging on the wall, "It's only three o'clock now, a bit early for dinner. Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Dai Qiuyue nodded and then went in with her father. Dai Hanchi smiled and stepped forward, grabbing Wan Yunting's hands excitedly and saying, "Doctor Wan, I am Qiuyue's father, Dai Hanchi. Thank you, thank you so much..."
Watching Dai Hanchi's eyes turn red and his hands grip Wan Yunting's excitedly, he said, "If you hadn't saved Qiuyue, my wife and I wouldn't know how to live. So we must thank you properly."
Seeing Dai Qiuyue's father getting so emotional that he was about to cry, Wan Yunting finally reacted and said with a smile, "Mr. Dai, you flatter me. The situation was special at the time, saving your daughter was a casual act for me, you don't have to be like this..."
