"Mr. Wan, this is the money from selling your prescription. It's a total of six million six hundred thousand. I've only kept enough for Youle's medication for three months. The rest is in this bank card..."
Midway through the meal, Chen Qiuyun produced a new bank card. She had deposited all the money from cashing the check that day into this card and pushed it towards Wan Yunting. His expression was startled as he looked up at Chen Qiuyun sitting opposite him and said with a smile, "Sister Chen, I can't accept this money."
Chen Qiuyun's phoenix eyes gazed at him. "Mr. Wan, I know you wrote that prescription to help me, but this money is truly too much. I really can't take it. Please, take it back."
But Wan Yunting still shook his head and smiled. "Sister Chen, this is the money you earned by exchanging your son's prescription. It has nothing to do with me anymore, so this is your money..."
However, Chen Qiuyun stood up with the bank card and came before him, speaking earnestly. "Mr. Wan, I know you have a good heart and want to help my son and me, but I truly cannot take this money. I, Chen Qiuyun, have hands and feet. If I take this money, it would be considered charity, so I cannot accept it!"
Wan Yunting was taken aback. He looked at the bank card Chen Qiuyun held out with both hands, and the determined look in her phoenix eyes. He hadn't expected her to say such a thing.
Wan Yunting had indeed used his brush to write the prescription to help them improve their current life. But he hadn't anticipated that Chen Qiuyun's pride would be so strong, which in turn changed Wan Yunting's perception of her. He thought of her as a strong mother!
"Sister Chen, how about this."
Wan Yunting took the bank card from her hand. "You take another hundred thousand yuan and find a nice place to live outside. As for work, our Chinese Medicine Association office is in need of some employees. I can arrange for you to work there, which will also make it more convenient for me to treat your son. Is that okay?"
Chen Qiuyun's beautiful face froze for a moment. Her phoenix eyes gazed at the sincere look in the man's eyes. Wan Yunting seemed to know what she wanted to say and smiled. "This hundred thousand is a loan from me. As for work, you don't need to worry. It will just be organizing some documents or doing miscellaneous tasks. You're perfectly capable of it, and the salary is good. After a one-month probation period, the salary will be eight thousand yuan per month, and it will increase if you do well."
Chen Qiuyun could no longer hide her excitement. Tears welled up in her phoenix eyes. She was deeply moved. She pursed her red lips and gave Wan Yunting a ninety-degree bow. "Mr. Wan, you are my benefactor..."
"Don't do that, Sister Chen..."
Wan Yunting reached out to help her up, but his gaze suddenly froze. As Chen Qiuyun bowed, her V-neck floral dress opened warmly towards him, revealing a breathtaking view within, which firmly captivated Wan Yunting's eyes. He stopped speaking for a moment...
Chen Qiuyun, completely unaware, continued her bowing posture, sincerely thanking him. "Mr. Wan, you are truly a good person. Thank you for helping me so much. I will repay you by working like an ox or a horse in the future..."
Wan Yunting, finally reacting, blushed deeply. He painstakingly averted his gaze, then stood up to help Chen Qiuyun up. He turned his face away, saying somewhat awkwardly, "No need to thank me, Sister Chen. Even if it wasn't me treating your son, anyone else would have offered help. So, you don't need to be like this. The most important thing for us now is to cure your son's illness."
"Mmm, mmm..."
Chen Qiuyun wiped away her tears. Looking up, she noticed Wan Yunting's expression and gaze were not quite right. He dared not look at her, and she asked with confusion, "Mr. Wan, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm just a bit hot..."
Wan Yunting smiled awkwardly and waved his hand at her. He quickly sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Sister Chen, please eat. I'll give Youle acupuncture treatment later..."
"Oh, okay..."
Chen Qiuyun pretended not to know anything. She sat down and gently and enthusiastically served him food, which made Wan Yunting even more embarrassed. He had stolen a glance at her exposed beauty earlier, which stirred up his desires. He thought that he must coax Fang Yanxi to come to the capital for the New Year, otherwise, who could resist such temptation...
After the meal, Wan Yunting began to perform acupuncture on Liang Youle. Chen Qiuyun sat by the bedside, her phoenix eyes filled with focus. Watching Wan Yunting insert silver needles into the child's head and acupoints, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wan, what kind of treatment is this?"
"This is the Nine Palaces Acupuncture method. It's to clear the meridians throughout your son's body."
Wan Yunting explained the acupuncture method he was using as he administered the needles. Chen Qiuyun nodded, but inwardly she felt uneasy and worried, wondering if he would use the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate to treat the child later.
"Alright, let him lie down. I'll remove the needles in forty minutes."
Wan Yunting stood up and smiled at Chen Qiuyun. "Wait outside."
"Okay, Mr. Wan..."
Chen Qiuyun, having reacted, quickly got up and lifted the curtain to let Wan Yunting out to sit on a wooden chair in the simple, small living room. She poured him a cup of water and placed it in front of him with a slight bow...
As he turned around to say thank you, he once again saw the sudden glimpse of cleavage from Chen Qiuyun. This caused Wan Yunting's gaze to freeze for two seconds. Chen Qiuyun looked up and saw his gaze, instantly realizing what had happened. She quickly straightened up, her face flushing crimson. She stood beside him, nervously rubbing her hands, unsure of what to say. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward...
This made Wan Yunting even more embarrassed. He quickly picked up the water cup and took a few sips to cover his awkwardness. Then, he said sheepishly, "Sister Chen, please sit down."
"Oh."
Chen Qiuyun, having reacted, slightly smoothed her long skirt and sat down. She kept her head down, not daring to look at Wan Yunting, making her appear like a shy, respectable woman. Wan Yunting changed the subject. "Don't worry, your son will be fine."
Chen Qiuyun nodded and asked, "After tonight's acupuncture, do I need to bring Youle to see you again tomorrow?"
"No need."
Wan Yunting waved his hand and said, "I'll give him acupuncture treatment again in three days. This process will gradually decrease as his recovery progresses, but he must take his herbal medicine on time. If he recovers well, we will reduce the frequency of taking the medicine later until his illness is completely cured."
Chen Qiuyun nodded in agreement. Sitting beside him, she either felt awkward or for some other reason, didn't dare to say anything proactively. Wan Yunting turned his head to look at her and said, "Sister Chen, your complexion looks a bit poor. Are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to check your pulse?"
Chen Qiuyun looked up at him, her phoenix eyes showing a hint of nervousness. She quickly shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I just got my period yesterday."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Wan Yunting felt a bit embarrassed for his casual question, and the two of them fell into an awkward silence, unsure of what to talk about. Wan Yunting glanced at his phone and remembered something, asking, "By the way, are your neighbors still harassing you?"
Chen Qiuyun shook her head slightly and said, "Not these past two days, but..."
Wan Yunting turned to look at her and said, "How about this? Tomorrow, you look around the vicinity of our association's office to see if there's a better place to rent. That way, it's close to your commute and convenient for you to take care of your son. If you don't have enough money, just tell me. Consider it a loan."
Chen Qiuyun looked up at him, her phoenix eyes full of gratitude. "Mr. Wan, thank you so much. You've helped us so much."
Wan Yunting waved his hand and smiled. "Sister Chen, you don't need to be so polite. Treating illnesses is my profession. But when we encounter patients from difficult families like yours, we help them if we have the ability. You don't need to keep thinking about how to repay me. Just live your life well. Not getting sick is the greatest comfort for us doctors."
Chen Qiuyun nodded. These words, however, changed her feelings about this man.
From their interactions on these few occasions, she realized that this Wan Yunting was truly different from other men. Whether in his actions or his character, he was a kind-hearted person. Because of this, Chen Qiuyun felt a sense of guilt in her heart...
After more than forty minutes, Wan Yunting removed the silver needles from Liang Youle and put them back in the medicine box. He didn't wake the child, letting him continue to sleep. He turned and said, "Then, Sister Chen, you find a place tomorrow and then report to our office. I'll have someone arrange your work."
"Okay, thank you."
Chen Qiuyun thanked him with a gentle smile and escorted him to the main entrance of the small courtyard. After watching Wan Yunting disappear into the alley, her expression gradually lost its smile. She sighed softly and turned back...
Today was already January 26th. In five days, it would be Chinese New Year. However, the Beijing Chinese Medicine Association could not take a holiday because there were too many things to do. Wan Yunting was considering whether to return to Huadu City to celebrate the New Year or stay directly in Beijing to have a family reunion with his biological parents.
"You're so busy, you shouldn't come back. Besides, this is your first Chinese New Year reunion with your parents. You should stay in Beijing!"
Back at home, Wan Yunting called Fang Yanxi. The woman seriously offered her opinion. Wan Yunting nodded as he listened. "How about it, Yanxi? Why don't you come to Beijing for the New Year? They'd like to meet you too."
"No."
Fang Yanxi, who was also at home at this moment, had just finished showering and was lying in bed having a video call with him. She gave the man a roll of her eyes. "I have a lot of things to do here as well, so I'll stay home for the New Year and go to Beijing after the holiday."
Jiang Wenhao had been in Beijing for the past two days and had found a suitable commercial building. He was preparing to relocate the headquarters of Chaoting Group to Beijing, with Huadu City becoming a branch group. He was also hiring a president to take office!
"But I miss you."
Seeing that the woman was unwilling to come to Beijing, Wan Yunting acted like a man coquettishly. This amused Fang Yanxi. After teasing and joking with each other for over an hour, they reluctantly ended the video call to rest...
