About a week later, Qiao Wanwan received a call from Huo Shiqian.

Qiao Wanwan answered the call, "Mr. Huo, you were looking for me?"

"Miss Qiao, I apologize for bothering you, but I have a favor to ask of you."

"you say."

“My grandfather is sick, and the hospitals in Haicheng can’t find the cause of his illness. I’m afraid only the miracle doctor can save him.”

"Is it that serious?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously. "What are the symptoms?"

"He can't get out of bed anymore, has difficulty swallowing, can't eat, and has lost a lot of weight. He's had all the tests done, but they just can't find anything wrong."

"That's strange?" Qiao Wanwan said. "Unfortunately, my master and Zhan Yin went on a trip these past few days and are not in the capital. He lives in Wutong Bay now and rarely goes on trips. I don't want to call him back halfway."

Huo Shiqian said, "Miss Qiao, you are also a miracle doctor. Could you please come to Haicheng to examine my grandfather's health?"

Qiao Wanwan was a little embarrassed. "As you know, I have three children at home, especially the youngest one who can't live without me."

“Miss Qiao, I know your time is precious, but I really have no other choice but to make this call.” Huo Shiqian’s attitude was sincere. “Don’t worry, you won’t be in Haicheng for long. If all goes well, you might be able to return the same day. I can arrange a plane to pick you up and try to shorten the time as much as possible.”

Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Let me discuss it with my husband first, and I'll give you an answer later."

"good."

Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone and immediately went to arrange for the delivery. Then she went to the kitchen, took out the stewed soup, and brought it upstairs.

In the study, Zhan Jingting frowned immediately upon smelling the aroma. "I won't drink it."

Qiao Wanwan chuckled, "How can we not drink it? The turtle shell is used in medicine, and the turtle meat is edible; it's very nourishing."

"I've been drinking it for over a week now."

"I spent hundreds of millions to buy it, of course I can't waste it." Qiao Wanwan put herself in his shoes and said, "If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't be able to stand drinking like this every day either. How about this, I won't drink it starting tomorrow."

Zhan Jingting couldn't hide his surprise, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I'll freeze the rest and stew it for you later."

Zhan Jingting: "......"

"Wanwan, it really doesn't taste good."

“It’s just soup. I didn’t force you to eat meat since you don’t like it,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Is this soup any worse than medicine? Just close your eyes and gulp it down.”

Zhan Jingting looked at her, his gaze deepening. "Madam Zhan, I've drunk it. Is there any reward?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She suppressed a laugh, "Mr. Zhan, where do you get so much lewd nonsense in your head!"

"This is my motivation."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"You're so unserious, you drink first."

"You'll reward me if I drink it?"

"Drink it first, then we'll talk."

Zhan Jingting picked up the soup bowl and drank the soup inside in one gulp.

"I've finished drinking."

Qiao Wanwan immediately put away the soup bowl and sat directly on his lap.

The man's gaze deepened as he encircled her slender waist. "Mrs. Zhan, you're becoming more and more proactive..."

"Stop fooling around, I have something I want to discuss with you." Qiao Wanwan looked into his dark and deep eyes. "Huo Shiqian just called and said that his grandfather is sick and he wants me to go to Haicheng to see him."

“No way.” Zhan Jingting refused without hesitation. “What does his grandfather’s illness have to do with you? I don’t like the Huo family, and I don’t want to get involved with them.”

"What a coincidence, I don't like the Huo family either," Qiao Wanwan said with a smile. "But I think Huo Shiqian and Mrs. Huo are exceptions. Especially Mrs. Huo, I get along very well with her. She is not a career woman, but she has been engaged in public welfare and goes to rural areas to teach for a period of time every year. She does what I want to do but don't have time to do. In short, we are good friends despite the age difference. We can talk to each other and it is very comfortable and pleasant to chat with her."

“Now her family has a difficult-to-treat illness and needs me to go and take a look. It’s just a small favor. More importantly, I am a doctor, and treating and saving lives is my job. If I refuse to treat people just because I don’t like the Huo family, it would be a bit unreasonable. Even if my master knew, he would scold me.”

"So Jingting, just let me go, okay? I promise I'll be back soon. I'll go first thing tomorrow morning and be back tonight, how about that?"

Her analysis was logical and well-founded, and Zhan Jingting couldn't argue with her, so he could only compromise, "If you want to go, you can go with me."

“Okay.” Qiao Wanwan would of course not refuse. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hard on the cheek. “Actually, even if I’m only gone for a day, I won’t want to leave you. It would be best if you stayed by my side.”

Zhan Jingting's Adam's apple bobbed. "Since you're so reluctant to part with it, why don't we do something meaningful right here, hmm?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She suddenly felt her legs go weak, swallowed hard, and said, "It's getting late. I'll make some arrangements. We should go to Haicheng as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible."

Qiao Wanwan had just gotten up to slip away when the man pulled her back. "Madam Zhan, do you think you can get away?"

"What do you want to do... Zhan Jingting, stop! In broad daylight... Ah..."

......

I don't know how much time passed, but everything finally calmed down.

Qiao Wanwan was covered in sweat and was carried to the bathroom by the man to take a shower.

It was almost evening, and since they had no other plans for the night, they decided to go directly to Haicheng to give Grandpa Huo a check-up, and then they could return early the next morning.
