Ning Xi's mouth twitched slightly, and she said, "Grandpa, do you know Old Madam Yan?"

Old Master Qin rolled his eyes and immediately denied it: "I don't know her. Who are you talking about, Old Madam Yan?"

Ning Xi: “…”

Could it be that she was mistaken, and he wasn't talking about Old Lady Yan just now?

Catching a glimpse of her suspicious expression, Old Master Qin hastily changed the subject. Glancing at the empty space behind her, he asked, "Where's Shuo Shuo Xiaobao? Why didn't he follow?"

Usually when Ning Xi was making rounds, Shuo Shuo would come to play chess with him. He hadn't seen him for two days over the weekend and he missed the kid so much that he had been waiting here for quite some time and had even set up the chessboard.

Ning Xi happened to be talking to him about this, so she said, "Shuo Shuo is about to start school, so he won't be here recently. Let him come and play with you next time he's free."

"What? Not coming?" The old man was immediately unhappy when he heard it.

He finally found a spy who could spy on the enemy... no, a spy inside his grandson's organization, so how could he not come!

"Yes, this is a hospital after all, and it's not convenient for me to take care of him all the time. I hope someone can help take care of him for the next few days, so I'll let him stay at home first.

"And, old man, you can be discharged from the hospital today. Let the children come and play with you next time you have the chance," Ning Xi said.

Old Man Qin was the patient with the mildest condition she treated. After several treatments of acupuncture, his old blockage had been cleared up a little. With the help of decoctions, he could go home and live there first, and then come for acupuncture regularly to slowly regulate his condition.

But Old Master Qin didn't want to leave. After observing him for the past few days, he was fully convinced of the character of his granddaughter-in-law.

However, it is still uncertain whether this granddaughter-in-law can become his granddaughter-in-law in the end!

Besides, that old lady lives across the street, and her grandson looks like a cunning person. What if he really steals his grandson's wife?

So, he quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not leaving the hospital. I'm living well here. Why should I leave the hospital?"

Ning Xi: “…”

She had seen so many patients who did not want to be hospitalized, but this was the first time she had seen one who refused to leave.

Butler Qi was afraid Ning Xi might notice something, so he quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Don't be offended, Doctor Ning. My uncle is worried that he won't be able to feel as at ease as he does here after he returns. That's why he wants to stay a little longer. There's no other intention."

Old Master Qin remained silent, which was considered as his agreement with this statement.

Ning Xi nodded slightly, understanding the old man's thoughts, but also carefully explained: "The old man's condition is not serious, there is really no need to continue living here.

On the contrary, the hospital is full of viruses, and the elderly are weak, so if there is cross infection, it will be more harm than good."

Housekeeper Qi became nervous upon hearing this, but Old Master Qin said stubbornly, "No, I won't go back. I'm fine living here!"

Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, if you really don't want to be discharged, then stay here. But according to your treatment, you'll have to stay here for half a year!

Besides, Shuo Shuo can't come play chess with you anymore, so you have to live alone. You better think carefully!"

Old Master Qin: “…”

It is definitely not possible to live here for half a year.

But he was really worried!

I don’t know what’s going on with that kid at home. He has spent all his 5 billion, but there’s not even a sound. Could it be that 5 billion is not enough to tempt him?

Butler Qi knew what the old man was thinking, but Madam Sun was right, he couldn't stay in the hospital forever.

So he advised, "Uncle, why don't we just leave the hospital first and come back when we have time."

"Come again when you have time?" Old Master Qin looked at him.

Butler Qi nodded repeatedly.

Old Master Qin looked at Ning Xi again, and Ning Xi twitched her lips again. She always felt that this hospital had been given the feel of a vegetable market by this old man.

But he nodded and said, "Yes, there's no need to wait until you're free. You should have acupuncture regularly, twice a week."

When Butler Qi heard this, he said quickly, "That's great, uncle. We can come twice a week, and you don't have to worry about not being able to see Doctor Xiao Ning."

When Old Master Qin heard this, he felt relieved, but he refused to admit it and said, "Who wants to see her? I'm worried about my own health!"

Butler Qi quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, your health is the most important!"

Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh. No wonder they say that an old man in the family is like a treasure. He really is like a living treasure!

The old man no longer objected, and Ning Xi immediately wrote out his discharge form. He then carefully instructed him on future precautions and the time for acupuncture, and then planned to leave.

Seeing this, Old Master Qin suddenly stopped her and said, "Wait!"

Ning Xi looked at him suspiciously.

Old Master Qin cleared his throat and winked at Butler Qi.

Butler Qi understood and hurriedly took out a beautiful gift box.

"Take this to the little one!" Old Master Qin said indifferently.

But there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes, and he didn't know whether Shuo Shuo would like it.

Ning Xi looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he would prepare a gift for Shuo Shuo!

The little old man looked up and down awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed by her stare.

Seeing that she still didn't accept it, he said angrily: "Why are you standing there? Take it quickly!"

"Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of Shuo Shuo."

Although it was a bit unexpected, Ning Xi truly felt the old man's intentions.

Moreover, she also knew that Shuo Shuo liked this old man, so she didn't intend to refuse on Shuo Shuo's behalf, but accepted it.

As for the return gift, she would definitely prepare one, but she would also let Shuo Shuo prepare one for himself.

The old man waved his hand coolly, "It's not a valuable thing, take it as you like."

"Okay." Ning Xi nodded.

Butler Qi also looked at it happily. Although the things were not very valuable, the old man had carefully selected them for a long time. Even the young masters and young ladies in the family had never received a gift that he had chosen so carefully.

After the things were delivered, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Ning Xi still standing there, he said disdainfully, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and get busy. I, an old man, still need to play chess."

Ning Xi saw a hint of embarrassment in his deliberately avoiding eyes.

But she didn't expose it. Instead, she nodded in response and then took the things and left.

Butler Qi watched Ning Xi leave, and after closing the door, he said to Old Master Qin, "Master, Madam Sun has left."

"Just go." Old Master Qin waved his hand and leaned back on the sofa, feeling a little melancholy.

When he was young, he was always decisive for the sake of his family and paid little attention to the younger generations in the family.

Even though Qin Yun and Qin Yan were raised by his side, he rarely opened up to them. He only cared about their abilities and whether they could carry the banner of the Qin family in the future.

In the blink of an eye, his sons and grandsons grew up and left, and he became an old man. Instead, he began to yearn for the joy of family life.

Sure enough, he still needs to let his pigs work harder, otherwise if this continues, he really won’t be able to hold his great-grandchildren.
