No matter how the vice dean tried to persuade him, Shangguan Wu remained unmoved, giving two public lectures a month, no more than that.

Any more, and Shangguan Wu will have to reconsider whether he's willing to continue.

The vice dean couldn't bear to see a sure thing slip away, so he quickly signed the contract and set the first open class for 8:00 AM next Monday.

Today is Friday, and Shangguan Wu has two more days to prepare his lessons.

But there's only one week left in this month.

Shangguan Wu met the vice dean's shrewd gaze and smiled helplessly: "You are really amazing, I admire you very much."

The usually stern vice dean broke into a wide smile, then suddenly said seriously, "There's no other way. The academy needs talent. I would appreciate it if you, Shangguan Wu, could help the academy train more doctors as excellent as you."

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "I dare not accept that. But since I have agreed, I will teach you everything I know. How much you can learn depends on your own comprehension."

In the past, traditional Chinese medicine relied on a master-apprentice system, teaching patients step by step. Some secret prescriptions were kept secret and not passed on to outsiders, and were held by a select few.

However, the country experienced a very dark period, during which many traditional Chinese medicine traditions were lost, and those secret recipes disappeared into the long river of history, with only one in ten remaining.

This has led to the decline of traditional Chinese medicine culture.

But things are different now. Anyone interested in traditional Chinese medicine can systematically learn it. Medical colleges in major provinces have opened TCM majors, and the number of students is gradually increasing every year. The overall environment is getting better and better.

Shangguan Wu deeply felt that things would get better in the future.

She walked out of the office building and headed towards the only car.

As she rushed over, the car door opened from the inside.

Shangguan Wu immediately got into the car, looked at Gu Yunzhen waiting inside, and smiled: "Sorry to keep you waiting, honey. I'll treat you to milk tea!"

Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Is everything taken care of?"

"All done!"

Shangguan Wu gave him an OK sign, telling him that there were two open classes this month.

Gu Yunzhen's tone revealed a hint of surprise: "Not starting next month?"

Shangguan Wu leaned back in her chair and turned to look at him: "I also thought it would be next month, but the vice dean said the contract would take effect immediately, so I also have two public lectures this month. The first public lecture is scheduled for 8:00 AM next Monday."

Gu Yunzhen's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and he chuckled softly, "You're quite fast."

That tone of voice could probably be smelled from ten miles away.

Shangguan Wu suppressed a laugh, reached out and took one of his fingers, tickling his palm with her little finger, and smiled gently: "Honey, you've been holding the baby for so long, your arms must be sore. Give them to me, I'll hold him."

Gu Yunzhen felt as if a feather had tickled his heart.

But a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, Xiao Tianyou can't speak, otherwise he would definitely have complained to her.

Because before Shangguan Wu came out, Xiao Tianyou had been lying on the seat, and Gu Yunzhen did not hold him the whole time.

"Honey, have you decided what to teach for the first lesson?"

Gu Yunzhen shoved the brat into her arms.

"No rush, let's have some milk tea first and then go back to prepare."

Shangguan Wu held Xiao Tianyou in her arms. Xiao Tianyou nestled in his mother's arms, looking wronged, but Shangguan Wu couldn't see his expression.

Just then, her cell phone rang.

Shangguan Wu frowned slightly upon seeing the call.

She answered the phone, and Luo Wei's voice came through: "Junior sister, I heard you went back to medical school and became an honorary professor, is that right?"

Shangguan Wu gazed at Gu Yunzhen, whose expression remained calm, and said in a flat voice, "Hmm."

Luo Wei continued, "Congratulations! You've finally found the right path. When you first opened your pharmacy, I felt it was a waste of your medical skills. You deserve it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Wu interrupted him: "Have you been to my pharmacy? Although there were very few patients at the beginning, nowadays, more and more people trust the pharmacy and traditional Chinese medicine."

Therefore, one can shine in any industry; it's not a matter of whether it's worthwhile, but rather whether one is willing to.

After a long silence on the phone, Luo Wei's voice finally came through: "I'm sorry, junior sister, you're right, I was narrow-minded."

"No need to apologize." Shangguan Wu's tone remained unchanged: "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. Goodbye."

"Uh, okay, goodbye."

This call has ended.

A fleeting smile crossed Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes, and he parted his thin lips slightly: "Why have you been staring at me like that?"

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I'm worried that when we get home, Mom will think we went to buy vinegar!"

Gu Yunzhen's temples throbbed: "It's not that bad."

It's just a phone call; he's not so petty as to be jealous of her normal social interactions.

Shangguan Wu's smile deepened: "Well, it's mainly because I care too much, and I don't want you to misunderstand even the slightest bit~"

She spoke softly and sweetly, her right thumb and forefinger almost pinched together, with a tiny gap between them.

A hint of a smile spilled from Gu Yunzhen's eyes, and in that instant, it was as if a sky full of stars had entered his eyes, shining brightly and captivatingly.

Shangguan Wu knew her husband was handsome, but at this moment, she was still amazed.

Suddenly, her mind started wandering into all sorts of fantasies.

But there are some things I can't do while I'm in the car.

Shangguan Wu thought to himself, his mouth dry.

???

Inside the Yan family's old residence.

Yan Yirou sat on the sofa eating fruit, looking at the others with a gossipy expression.

But unexpectedly, the fire spread to himself.

"Sister, you can stay at home tonight and come with us to Xizhou City tomorrow."

Yan Yixuan's tone wasn't one of discussion, but rather a direct decision.

She had to let Yan Yirou see with her own eyes how happy she was to be married to Zeng Chengxian!

Yan Yirou thrust out her large pregnant belly: "You want me to go like this?"

Yan Yixuan's wedding is the day after tomorrow. Originally, they planned to come to the capital to pick up the bride, but they were afraid of missing the auspicious time. So Zeng Chengxian booked a hotel in Xizhou City. The Yan family and their relatives arrived in Xizhou City a day in advance and checked into the hotel.

The two parties have discussed this and have no objections.

"Your family will definitely arrange for someone to protect you!"

Yan Yixuan frowned at her and asked aggressively, "Besides, I went to your wedding, so shouldn't you come to my wedding?"

Everyone else turned to look at the two sisters.

Yan Yirou didn't want to go. There were so many people at the wedding, and it was in an unfamiliar environment. What if something happened?

She's not alone now; she wants Gu Chenye to come back and hold the baby!

Therefore, she should be more cautious.

Madam Yan saw through her daughter's thoughts and said earnestly, "Xuanxuan, your sister came back today to help you with your dowry, but her situation is special and she shouldn't travel. You've seen that yourself. I beg you to be understanding, okay?"
