Shen Yanming wasn't angry at all; he just smiled and asked Old Master Lin all sorts of questions.

Grandpa Lin didn't hold back, sharing his insights in detail. With the same prescription, someone who had been immersed in it for many years had a more thorough understanding than someone who was a newcomer to the field.

Shen Yanming seized the opportunity to ask questions, and the afternoon passed by in the blink of an eye. Of course, some people also came to see Grandpa Lin for medical treatment, but the old man quickly sent them away and then continued chatting with Shen Yanming.

Seeing that it was getting late, they had no choice but to let him go. "I'm telling you, Xiao Shen, you chose the wrong profession. You should have studied traditional Chinese medicine; you have so much talent for it!"

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "I didn't know I would have this kind of opportunity back then, it's quite amazing. How about, when my two kids are a bit older, you see if they have any talent and take them on as apprentices?"

Old Master Lin's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful! With such outstanding parents, this child is bound to be remarkable. I'm in good health, and living another ten or twenty years shouldn't be a problem. I'll definitely reserve this apprentice for myself."

"Oh, I was just kidding, you actually took it seriously. Aren't you afraid my two kids won't want to study medicine in the future?"

Grandpa Lin glared at him. “What’s wrong with studying medicine? Look at the world these days, it’s always good to have more skills! Bring the kids over to play more often when you have free time, and cultivate their interests from a young age.”

Then, with a smile, he hugged An'an and said, "Grandpa's little darling, you'd better do your best. And our Nuannuan too, Grandpa has a lot of skills, waiting for you to learn!"

The two babies giggled happily, and I don't know if they understood or not, but they were clapping their little hands.

"Alright, it's getting late, hurry back. Be careful on the road, don't drive too fast," said Grandpa Lin.

Shen Yanming nodded, took out a bag of dried fruit and a bag of dried meat from his backpack, and handed them to Old Master Lin: "Keep these to chew on!"

Hey, this is my son and daughter's future mentor, I'd better build a good relationship with him beforehand.

Grandpa Lin didn't stand on ceremony. He took the jerky, popped a piece into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "It tastes good, and it's chewy enough. Next time you have something delicious, send some to this old man too."

"Okay, I won't forget you!" Remembering something, she asked, "By the way, how's your frostbite cream selling?"

"It's fine, what's wrong?"

"Several of my colleagues want to buy it. They said they'd never heard of it being sold here before. Logically, if this frostbite cream is so effective, it should be well-known by now, right?"

Grandpa Lin chuckled twice: "It's because the effect is so good that they were afraid they wouldn't be able to buy it in the future, so they didn't advertise it. As for me, I don't care who I sell to. I just give it to people who come. Maybe that's why it's only been spread in a small circle."

Shen Yanming nodded: "Okay, can you give me a receipt?"

"You little rascal, you can clearly mix and match yourself, why do you still have to try to squeeze this old man's meager stock?" Although he was grumbling, his hands still honestly issued the invoice.

"There are some things that need to be kept secret, you know."

"Okay, okay, if you need anything, just push it to me, I'll cover for you."

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring you something nice next time I come to see you."

"What good stuff, food?"

"That's too mundane food. How about some medicinal herbs?"

"Yes, but I don't mind the food either. Whatever you can get, the more the better."

"Okay, I promise I'll make you happy."

Shen Yanming said this and then left. He had to go to the payment counter to pay the fee first.

Bi Qiaoan stayed in the office and said to An'an, "Say goodbye to Grandpa, we'll come see him again next time."

An'an pouted, about to cry.

Old Master Lin was heartbroken and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Grandpa, don't go!"

Perhaps it was fate; in just one afternoon, An'an had grown to like this little old man so much.

Even Nuannuan kept calling for her mother.

Helpless, Bi Qiaoan could only patiently comfort the two children: "This is where Grandpa works. He has many patients to take care of. Let's go back first and come to play with Grandpa another day, okay?"

Grandpa Lin also said, "Yes, yes, you two just keep pestering your mother until she's free and brings you two to see Grandpa."

Bi Qiaoan...

Okay, whatever makes you happy!

When Shen Yanming returned, he saw his wife looking constipated at the old man and the young man, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Before Bi Qiaoan could speak, Grandpa Lin said, "It's nothing, it's just a promise I made to my precious An'an that she has to come see this old man at least once a month."

Shen Yanming hummed in agreement, "I'll come see you when I have time."

That was a double-edged sword – it sounded like an agreement, but it also sounded like a disagreement. Ultimately, whether or not they have time is up to the parents.

Grandpa Lin seemed not to understand and insisted on confirming: "The end of the month, the end of every month."

Shen Yanming had no choice but to reply, "Alright, as long as I have time."

After seeing the family of four off from the office, Old Master Lin was extremely pleased: "I never thought that in my old age I would actually see two such pleasing little ones. No one in the Lin family has inherited the medical skills, so this can be considered as finding an heir for myself."

The couple carried their two children upstairs, intending to greet Li Gangtie.

On the way, Bi Qiaoan said to Shen Yanming, "When you weren't here, our An'an and Nuannuan almost cried. How can their relationship become so deep in just one afternoon?"

"It's fate, but it's also quite good." Shen Yanming thought to himself that he was only half-baked and couldn't treat many diseases. Having a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor taking care of his two children would put his mind at ease as a father. "We'll see. If the two kids want to learn medicine, then he'll be their teacher. If they're not interested, then he'll be their grandfather."

"Yeah, it's good to have another person to take care of them." Anyway, the family isn't afraid of supporting another person. "I just don't know if the Lin family will have any objections."

"I've met Old Master Lin's son before, and he seemed alright to get along with. But we're not really related. We're not trying to get anything out of him. If we can get along, great; if not, we'll part ways."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, feeling relieved.

Shen Yanming shook his head and chuckled: "Why think so much? The two babies are still so young, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

"Yeah, I was worrying unnecessarily."

The couple chatted and laughed as they arrived at Li Gangtie's hospital room, where they found Li Tongtong pestering Li Gangtie to tell her about his heroic deeds.

Li Gangtie had just suffered a setback at noon and dared not provoke Ding Chengyan again, but his daughter's persistent and nagging nature was really hard to handle.

Li Gangtie wanted to maintain his heroic image, but his wife was watching him with a cold gaze, offering no help whatsoever. He forced a smile, inwardly lamenting, "This is so hard!"

Hearing the door open, I called out, "Come in." Seeing the familiar family of four, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
