Chapter 2649: Twins  

Qiao Weiyang took her pulse and looked at her appearance from time to time. This was the method of traditional medicine.

She asked Madam Xu a few questions before asking, “Madam, did you suffer a little when you gave birth back then?”

Hearing Qiao Weiyang’s words, Madam Xu’s expression paused slightly. She was a little troubled, obviously recalling the past.

Xu Jingye sighed at the side. His tone was mixed with heartache as he said, “I’ve let my wife down. Back then, we were working hard in our careers. When we had children, we were already in our 30s. However, I happened to encounter some emergencies in my career. I didn’t have enough money, and the company was short of manpower. My wife was pregnant but still followed me to a small town to buy goods. She didn’t manage to take good care of her body back then.

“Later, when she was recovering after the delivery, she was overworked because she had to help me with work, causing her wound to be inflamed…” Speaking of the past, Xu Jingye blamed himself.

Madam Xu hurriedly stopped him in a low voice. “It’s all in the past. Everything is fine now. There’s nothing to worry about.”

When Qiao Weiyang heard that the couple had a close relationship and cherished each other, she could not help but be very touched. It was rare for a couple to go from poverty to wealth and go from hardships to peace. They were also understanding and respectful of each other. She said, “Yes, the root of Madam’s illness must’ve been from that time.’ “Is there a way to treat her?” Xu Jingye asked immediately.

“Yes. I can prescribe medicine and slowly treat her. It can improve Madam’s dizziness, soreness, and some gynecological problems,” Qiao Weiyang said with a smile. “Actually, Hanzhi’s medicine before wasn’t bad, but he’s not great at gynecology… Although his medicine was effective, the effects stagnated after two doses.”

Madam Xu sighed and said, “I see.”

“Madam, don’t worry. These issues will be resolved soon.”

“Thank you so much. I usually go to the hospital and get checked under all kinds of advanced equipment, but they can never say what’s wrong. The doctor always tells me that I need more rest. But I’m resting every day now. How can I rest more? It’s great that you could help find the cause of the illness.” As Qiao Weiyang wrote the prescription, she said, “This is the fundamental difference between traditional medicine and modern medicine. Modern medicine is indeed very good, but it’s too standardized and relies too much on machines. It’ll lose the effect of being a doctor. Madam, follow the prescription and get the medicine. The next time I come over, I’ll bring some of my own medicine for you to use. I believe you’ll be fine soon.”

Xu Jingye and Madam Xu stood up to send Qiao Weiyang to the entrance.

After Qiao Weiyang returned to Zhuojing Villa, she busied herself in the backyard for a while. She picked some flowers and plants, then extracted them. She made them into medicine and put them in a small bottle for backup.

Then, she picked a lot of other flowers and plants to dry under the sun.

Her figure shuttled through the back courtyard. She was wearing a white dress. Her white hair, which had been dyed previously, had long returned to its original black color. It cascaded gently behind her shoulders.

Although her hair was tied into a ponytail for convenience, it was too soft. As she moved, it inevitably flowed down her shoulders like gentle water.

Su Zhuoqian had not seen her walking back and forth in the backyard for a long time. Occasionally, he would wonder if this was reality or a dream.

He stood not far away as if he was afraid of disturbing the person in front of him. He did not dare to go forward.

After Qiao Weiyang finished watering the orchids, she turned around and saw the man standing there, looking at her with a deep and quiet gaze.

She pursed her lips and smiled. She put down the watering can and approached him.

“Hubby.”

She walked over and shook Su Zhuoqian’s hand with her still wet hand.

Su Zhuoqian seemed to have just woken up from a dream. When he felt her warmth, he opened his eyes and looked at her seriously. He held her wet fingers and brought them to his lips. His expression also became gentle.

“I went to look for the Xu family that Hanzhi introduced to me earlier to check on Madam Xu’s condition, so I’m helping her find the most suitable medicine right now.”

“Have you found what you needed?” Su Zhuoqian’s heart calmed down with her voice.

“I’ve found them all.” Qiao Weiyang pointed at the medicine bottle at the side. “Her condition isn’t complicated or serious. It’s just that the root cause of her previous illness hasn’t been eliminated. And she looks… a little depressed. It’s just a little strange. Her husband is loving and considerate. The two of them have a good relationship, and their family background is even more enviable.

But Madam Xu still looks a little unhappy…”

Su Zhuoqian asked softly, “Didn’t you ask for the reason?”

“At that time, I thought that this was her private matter, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask. When I came back, I remembered that as a doctor, I should’ve asked anyway. I’ll definitely ask next time.” Qiao Weiyang smiled. Su Zhuoqian was influenced by her smile and smiled back. He took out something from behind him and asked, “Guess what I got?”

“Is Dongliang’s file?” Qiao Weiyang guessed.

Su Zhuoqian nodded gently with a smile on his handsome face. “Are you relieved now?”

“That’s great! How did you get it so quickly?”

“Since that university isn’t a proper school to begin with and everyone can go there as long as they spend enough money, I just used a little money to have them send over Dongliang’s file. It all depends on whether the sum is high enough or not.”

Although he said it casually, Qiao Weiyang knew that it would not have been easy to get through the Qiao family’s informants to get Qiao Dongliang’s file.

She looked up at Su Zhuoqian and said sincerely, “Thank you.”

“Then what’s the reward for me?” Su Zhuoqian raised his eyebrows slightly. His noble and calm face revealed abstinence yet seduction.

“The reward is my thanks.” Qiao Weiyang deliberately pretended not to understand and turned to get her medicine bottle.

When she turned around, Su Zhuoqian wrapped his arms around her waist. His voice sounded behind her ear. “Is this how you thank me?”

“Then how should I thank you?” Being hugged by him, Qiao Weiyang relaxed her body and leaned against his chest.

His hot breath blew beside her ear. Qiao Weiyang was not standing firmly to begin with, so she could not stand steadily now.

Su Zhuoqian raised his well-defined fingers and placed them on her earlobe. The tips of Qiao Weiyang’s ears trembled, but he only pinned up her slightly messy hair.

Qiao Weiyang pursed her lips, turned around, and threw herself into his arms. Before he could stop smiling, she tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.

Su Zhuoqian pulled her into his arms with a smile.

In the hotel.

Qiao Dongliang sat in his room, biting the tip of his pen and focusing on the questions in front of him..
