Qiao Wanwan asked with great interest, "What good news?"

“It’s like this, didn’t Brother Jingting give me two houses and a sum of money before the New Year? Logically, I shouldn’t accept Brother Jingting’s money, but then I thought about it and realized that I do need money for my research, so I didn’t refuse.” Ruan Tang looked at Zhan Jingting, “Brother Jingting, I plan to use the money you gave me to set up a medical team to study your condition.”

"No need," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Keep the money for yourself; I have a medical team."

“I know you have the best medical team in the world.” Ruan Tang glanced at Qiao Wanwan. “And with a doctor like your sister-in-law by your side, there’s really nothing for me to do. But this is my way of showing my appreciation. Brother Jingting, I only have you and your sister-in-law. I’m willing to do anything I can for you.”

"Besides, I studied medicine to cure your illness. If I give up, wouldn't all my years of hard work be wasted? Jingting, please let me do it! I believe my aunt in heaven would also want me to do this!"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

Having said that, Zhan Jingting naturally wouldn't refuse.

"In that case, it's up to you. Just tell your sister-in-law if you need anything financially."

"Thank you, Brother Jingting," Ruan Tang said with a smile. "It seems that your wife is in charge of the family finances."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "I guess so."

When Ruan Tang came to pay her New Year's visit, Qiao Wanwan felt it would be impolite not to entertain her, so she invited her to stay for dinner.

Ruan Tang behaved herself today, eating dinner quietly before leaving.

Cheng Zaozao followed Qiao Wanwan for a walk in the garden and asked, "Sister, that Ruan Tang has always been scheming. Is she being so attentive this time because she's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, with no good intentions?"

"Considering her behavior today, she was just trying to please Jing Ting. Apart from setting up a medical team, she didn't ask for anything special," Qiao Wanwan analyzed. "Besides, it's not a bad thing for her to use money to set up a medical team, so I didn't object."

"Why isn't it a bad thing? I don't know why, but I always feel like she has ill intentions."

"Her assembling a medical team is just a matter of spending some money. Wutong Bay is not short of money. She didn't make much of a splash, and we lost some money. But if there is any real progress, that would be a great thing. That's why I said it's not a bad thing."

"I see, I understand now," Cheng Zaozao said. "Sister, I'm not as smart as you, otherwise I would also like to do my part for brother-in-law."

"Just focus on your studies and live your life well."

"Sister, without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay you."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and took her hand. "Although I don't want you to repay me in any way, I'm still very happy that you said that."

Cheng Zaozao smiled shyly and reached out to hug her...

......

After the Spring Festival holiday, Qiao Wanwan sent Shiyi off to school.

On the way, Shiyi made a request, "Mommy, don't have bodyguards watching over Shiyi."

Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because the students all say that Eleven is a prince, that's why he needs bodyguards."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

Although Zhan Huaisheng, who had been keeping an eye on Eleven, had passed away, Qiao Wanwan still did her best to ensure Eleven's safety, having learned from her experience.

"Does Eleven like kindergarten?" Qiao Wanwan asked.

"Of course I like it."

"If you have to have a bodyguard watching over you when you go to kindergarten during the National Day holiday, or you have to go home and attend classes at home, what would you choose?"

After thinking about it carefully, Shiyi said, "But other children don't have bodyguards with them when they go to kindergarten."

“Eleven, Daddy’s identity is special, so your safety needs to be specially guaranteed. When we go to kindergarten, safety must be the top priority,” Qiao Wanwan said. “How about this, Mommy won’t let the bodyguards follow you. Instead, they can patrol the kindergarten to ensure the safety of all the children. That way, you’ll be the same as the other children, okay?”

"Then you have to make it clear to them that they can't follow me when I go to the bathroom, or the other kids will laugh at me."

Qiao Wanwan chuckled, "Did the bodyguard follow you into the restroom earlier?"

"Yeah, as soon as I leave the classroom, they follow me and even watch me pee!"

Qiao Wanwan laughed out loud, "It's because Mommy didn't explain clearly. They went too far. From now on, this kind of thing will never happen again."

"That's good."

With the safety of the children at the kindergarten assured, Qiao Wanwan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She left the task of finding the children to Zhan Jingting and focused on researching his illness.

After vomiting blood last time, Zhan Jingting's physical condition was relatively stable. Qiao Wanwan studied medicine to suppress his condition and reduce his pain.

However, as time went on, his condition worsened, and Qiao Wanwan's medication became increasingly stronger.

This approach, which only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, is not a long-term solution. She must hurry up and research a cure that can completely cure the disease. Otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the worse Zhan Jingting's health will become. Even if a cure is developed when he is almost thirty, it will probably still have a significant impact on his health.

Qiao Wanwan was anxious, but she only dared to keep it to herself and wouldn't show it on her face, so as not to worry Zhan Jingting.

Fortunately, with the miraculous doctor in charge, Qiao Wanwan felt much more at ease.

Winter passed and spring arrived in the blink of an eye, and it was Qiao Wanwan's favorite season again.

The flowers she planted in the garden in her spare time have all bloomed. Qiao Wanwan is in a good mood and goes to the garden to tend to them every day.

She just didn't know if it was because of the season, but she gradually started to feel sleepy.

Especially in the afternoon, I often sleep until evening and can't wake up no matter what.

"Madam, why are you sleeping so late again?" Seeing Qiao Wanwan rushing downstairs, Zheng Ma greeted her and said, "Don't worry, the old master went to pick up the young master, he should be at kindergarten by now."

Qiao Wanwan yawned, "I rushed as fast as I could, but I still missed it."

"It's alright, it's the same if the old man goes to pick him up, since he'll have bodyguards with him anyway."

"Hmm." Qiao Wanwan sat down on the sofa, leaned back, and began to doze off again.

"Madam, you've been feeling very sleepy for the past few days. Are you feeling unwell?"

Qiao Wanwan said with her eyes closed, "No, it's probably just spring fatigue."

Zheng's mother nodded, "That's true. It's easier to feel sleepy in the spring. You spend all your time in the lab, so you must be tired. You need to get some rest."

"I've been resting well. I've been so tired these past few days, and I've been going to bed early every night."

Zheng Ma chuckled, "Being able to eat and sleep well is a good thing. What would you like to eat, Madam? I'll have the kitchen add a couple of dishes."

"My taste is a bit bland, so please add two spicy and sour dishes to whet my appetite."

"Okay." Just as Zheng Ma was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Qiao Wanwan with surprise, "Madam, you seem sleepy and have no appetite, could you be pregnant!"
