Chapter 126 Is Dr. Zhao free?

After watching Pei Xingyao happily run out with the cat on her head, Lin Yan'an looked away, and the smile on his lips faded slightly.

He glanced at everyone present, then fixed his gaze on Zhou Kangning, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhou, the crew is now in your hands."

"I'll go back to Kyoto and ask my wife to take a look at this pen. I'll try to communicate with the contents of the pen as soon as possible and try to finalize the outline before tomorrow's meeting."

After Lin Yan'an finished speaking, she looked at Pei Xubai and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you staying here or going to Kyoto with us?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Xubai turned his head to look at Zhou Kangning, then at Lin Yan'an, and asked without hesitation, "Sister-in-law, can I speak with him in person?"

Lin Yan'an shrugged: "I don't know the specifics either. I'll have to wait until my wife sees this calligraphy brush before I can say anything."

"but……"

He paused, then continued, "Based on what I've seen of her in the past, it should be okay, right?"

"You have to try to know the final result."

As Lin Yan'an spoke, she looked at Pei Xubai and sincerely suggested, "Why don't you come along? It would be best if you could meet him; you could have a deeper conversation with him and observe his words and actions carefully."

"After all, none of us know if he really exists, whether he is a ghost or an obsession."

Pei Xubai nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, then I'll have Da Hua book the tickets."

Having received the answer, Lin Yan'an turned to Cheng Yanzhou and instructed, "Yes, Yanzhou, go help Dahua. You come back with me too."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Cheng Yanzhou quickly agreed and got up to go find Liu Hua, who was waiting outside.

Lin Yan'an lowered her eyes and looked at her phone, which remained silent, and couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart.

I really want to ask online, why does he feel like his wife... doesn't really care about him?

During these two days I've been away on a business trip, it seems I haven't received many messages from her reaching out to him.

Not to mention checking up on people.

It's true, he neither contacts her nor tells her.

Great, that's very good!

Zhong Wan had no idea what Lin Yan'an was thinking.

After a comfortable, natural sleep, she stayed cozy in bed for a while longer before getting up.

I reached for my phone on the bedside table, picked it up, and clicked on the unread messages.

But when he saw the group name, his expression turned awkward.

Pei Xingyu had changed the group name countless times, and the current name was "Is Auntie still asleep?"

Zhong Wan's fingers twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but change her answer: "I've been awake for a while!"

After making the changes, just as I was about to check the group chat, I saw that Pei Xingyu had sent another new message.

[Pei Xingyu: Aunt, you're finally awake!]

[Pei Xingyu: Come out quickly, let's go eat. What do you want to eat?]

[Pei Xingyu: Hurry up, you're the only one missing, I'm starving!]

Zhong Yang: Sister, what do you want to eat? How about we cook at home? Maybe it'll be faster than eating out.

Seeing this, Zhong Wan readily agreed, "Sure, why don't you come over? Lin Yan'an had the fridge filled to the brim beforehand, lots and lots of food!"

[Pei Xingyu: Shocked cat (jpg)]

[Pei Xingyu: He favors his wife over his nephew! He doesn't even care about me!]

[Zhong Yang: Come on, is there any difference between putting it over there and putting it here?]

Pei Xingyu: ┓(′`)┏ The difference is huge!

[Zhong Wan: Do you want to eat or not?]

Pei Xingyu: Eat!

They were quick; Zhong Wan had just strolled out of the master bedroom with her phone in hand when they had already opened the door and come in.

The three of them looked at the fully stocked refrigerator and discussed it for a moment, then decisively decided to have hot pot.

Although there were quite a few things to clean and prepare, there were just too many people!

Especially since both Zhong Yang and Zhong Wan, siblings, are quick and agile.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we cleared the table.

Zhong Yang and his companion also took their leave.

"Sis, we're heading to school now. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll bring it back for you."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingyu turned to Zhong Wan and warmly invited her, "Auntie, would you like to come along? We should be able to register and pay tuition at school today, and we'll show you around after we're done. My uncle's alma mater is right next to our school."

Zhong Wan was genuinely tempted for a moment upon hearing this, but thinking of her plans for today, she smiled and shook her head, declining: "Let's do it another day, I have other plans today."

"What arrangements?"

Zhong Yang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sis, what's up with you today?"

Zhong Wan picked up her phone and replied, "It was fine before when I wasn't in Kyoto, but now that I'm here, I have to treat Zhao Lei to a meal."

"After all, Rui Rui's incident last time was thanks to him for helping to contact a doctor."

Zhong Yang understood: "That's true. It seems that your older brother and sister-in-law are also in Kyoto. Are you planning to invite them along?"

Zhong Wan hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "I have thought about it, but I'm afraid of upsetting my sister-in-law again."

After all, she cried herself to the point of fainting every day during that period, which really left a deep impression on Zhong Wan.

She sighed softly, feeling a bit overwhelmed: "I'll contact Zhao Lei first and see if he has time."

"If I have it, I'll contact my older brother. If not, I'll talk about it when I go home at the end of the year."

Zhong Yang nodded in agreement: "That's fine. Why don't you contact Brother Zhao first and ask him? After all, as a doctor, he seems to be quite busy."

"yes."

Pei Xingyu listened intently, his eyes darting around. He had heard of Rui Rui, but who was Zhao Lei?

He looked at Zhong Yang, then at Zhong Wan, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is Zhao Lei?"

Zhong Yang was speechless. As he stood up, he pulled him up as well: "He's my sister's classmate. Alright, we should go too."

Pei Xingyu, still struggling as Zhong Yang pulled her along, said, "Hey, slow down! Tell me, what classmate is my aunt's? You two seem to have a good relationship? Does my uncle know about this?"

Zhong Wan didn't answer his question. Instead, she looked at him, smiled, and waved, "Take care on your journey."

"Oh, right, you can take that car key. My uncle left the car for me."

"knew."

Seeing that he wouldn't get an answer, Pei Xingyu waved his hand dejectedly and quietly followed Zhong Yang.

Zhong Yang keenly noticed his movement, and then let go of his hand, unable to help but smile and pat his shoulder to comfort him, "So curious? Why don't you come to my house during the New Year? Maybe you'll get to see him then."

"ah?"

Pei Xingyu readily agreed: "Sure, the haunted house resort should be finished by the end of the year, right?"

Zhong Yang shrugged: "I guess so."

After watching the two of them walk out of the room side by side, Zhong Wan picked up her phone, found Zhao Lei's chat window, and sent him a message.

[Zhong Wan: Dr. Zhao, are you free?]

[Zhong Wan: How about bringing your partner out for dinner tonight?]
