"sit."

Looking up, Song Lan gestured for Wei Hongjuan and her husband to sit down at the consultation table, a smile playing on her lips: "Judging from your expressions, you must have good news." She stated it directly.

Is it that obvious?

Wei Hongjuan felt a flush rise in her face. She glanced at her husband, Sun Hao, and then looked back at Song Lan, saying with a hint of shyness, "We're just guessing. We'll only know the specifics after you, Dr. Song, make your diagnosis."

Sun Hao nodded in agreement: "Yes, Dr. Song, please take a look at my wife as soon as possible. To avoid getting disappointed, we waited an extra week to come see you."

Here I must mention that Wei Hongjuan is Wei Shengli's older sister, and Wei Shengli was Song Lan's colleague who used to work in the security department.

Before the Lunar New Year, Wei Hongjuan and her husband went for a follow-up visit with Song Lan and were told that they had fully recovered, but it would be best to wait a month before trying to conceive. In other words, it would be better for them to have intercourse a month later.

Needless to say, this is better, naturally for the conceived embryo.

Wei Hongjuan and her husband had no objections, and strictly followed Song Lan's instructions, resuming sexual relations a month after the New Year.

Unexpectedly, good fortune came to the couple—in the second month after they had sex, Wei Hongjuan's period did not arrive as expected.

At that moment, the couple was so excited that they couldn't express it in words, but they tacitly kept it a secret from each other's families.

They were afraid of being disappointed, so they suppressed their excitement and waited until today to come to the staff hospital to find Song Lan.

However, the couple was already more than confident.

After all, Wei Hongjuan's period is currently delayed not just by a day or two, but by a full ten days.

Therefore, the two looked at Song Lan with anticipation, hoping to get confirmation from her.

"Okay, I'll take Sister Wei's pulse right away."

As Song Lan spoke, she gestured for Wei Hongjuan to place her wrist on the pulse pillow.

Wei Hongjuan did as instructed.

Song Lan extended her hand, her expression focused. After taking the pulse on the other person's left wrist, she gestured for Wei Hongjuan to switch to her right hand. After a few minutes, a smile appeared on her beautiful and ethereal face: "Congratulations to you both, you will become parents in about eight months."

After a pause, Song Lanqing's cheerful voice rang out again. She gave Wei Hongjuan and her husband a lot of advice, and finally said, "Sister Wei may be pregnant with twins, but we will have to wait a while longer to confirm that."

In fact, Song Lan did detect two pulses, one strong and one weak, but the weaker one was far too faint.

If it weren't for her solid foundation in traditional Chinese medicine and the guidance she received from renowned TCM masters in the simulation space provided by the system, it would be very difficult for an average TCM doctor to diagnose that Wei Hongjuan was carrying twins from her current pulse.

As for why she didn't give a definite answer, she simply wanted to take her pulse again in a while, which would undoubtedly be safer!

Twins?

Twins?

Wei Hongjuan and Sun Hao were both stunned.

After a while, the couple came to their senses, and their eyes both welled up with tears.

"I said 'possibly,' we'll have to confirm whether it's twins later..."

Before Song Lan could finish speaking, Wei Hongjuan interjected, "Dr. Song, I believe in your medical skills!"

Grasping Song Lan's hand, Wei Hongjuan's eyes welled up with tears; she was crying tears of joy. Looking at her, Song Lan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Finally, she gently patted Wei Hongjuan's hand and comforted her, saying, "You are an expectant mother now, so you can't have too many emotional ups and downs. It's not good for you or the baby."

"I understand, I'll do as you say."

Wei Hongjuan hurriedly wiped her eyes and said, "Dr. Song, I'll come back to see you later."

Song Lan smiled and nodded.

Sun Hao helped Wei Hongjuan to her feet. The couple's eyes were full of gratitude. They couldn't help but thank Song Lan several times. Even after they had left the consultation room, they still turned back to thank Song Lan again.

Song Lan sighed helplessly, shook her head with a smile, and watched the couple walk away.

-

Time flies, and it was already late April. On this day, after a follow-up visit by Song Lan, Chen Dongxu's legs were fully recovered.

"Would Dr. Song like to transfer back to a hospital in Beijing?"

"..."

Upon hearing Chen Dongxu's words, Song Lan paused in her writing on the medical record, then looked up at him, smiled, and said, "It doesn't matter where I work, I will follow the organization's arrangements."

“I can help you, no, my family can help you.”

Chen Dongxu said, "Dr. Song has done me a great favor. As long as you want to go back to work at a hospital in Beijing, I guarantee my family will make it happen for you!"

"Need not."

Song Lan shook her head and said, "But I appreciate Comrade Chen's kindness."

After a moment's hesitation, Song Lan continued, "Comrade Chen, I know that the Chen family holds a rather significant position in your circle in Beijing."

But I still want to add one more thing: it's best to avoid causing trouble for the family if possible, lest malicious people take the opportunity to attack the Chen family.

Although these words were cryptic, Chen Dongxu was no fool, and he could easily discern the deeper meaning they contained.

After Song Lanyin fell silent, he felt ashamed of himself.

Even an outsider could think of helping him protect the Chen family to prevent his elders from being attacked by others, but this son of the Chen family thought of using the glory that his elders had fought for with their lives to do things that were detrimental to the Chen family. How stupid!

And they are ignorant!

"Dr. Song's words make sense, I have learned a lot."

Chen Dongxu sincerely said, "Thank you, Dr. Song, for saying those words to me. Please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need my help in the future."

Suddenly, he added, "Don't misunderstand, what I mean is that I will help you with my own abilities. Whenever you need me, whether it's climbing mountains or going into boiling oil, I will do it without hesitation!"

Song Lan burst out laughing.

Chen Dongxu was completely bewildered.

"The little one."

Song Lan reminded her.

Chen Dongxu realized what was happening and felt a flush of embarrassment, but he still said, "Dr. Song healed my legs. It's no exaggeration to say that she's like a second parent to me. I was just referring to myself as the younger one. To be honest, in my heart, you are my boss."

"No, I'm not your boss."

Song Lan smiled and waved her hand, casually changing the subject: "Are you leaving for the capital today?"

Chen Dongxu shook his head and said, "First thing tomorrow morning."

"You'd better be more careful in your actions and words in the future, lest you bring trouble upon yourself again in a moment of impulsiveness. Just because you were lucky enough to have your legs healed this time doesn't mean that I can guarantee your full recovery every time you break an arm or leg."

Song Lan thought Chen Dongxu was a good person, so she kindly offered some advice, hoping that Chen Dongxu would have a peaceful and smooth life from now on.

"Dr. Song, did you hear what my older brother said?"

Chen Dongxu asked the question, but he already had the answer in his heart. He said, "You can't believe everything my older brother says. I've been a bit of a scoundrel all my life and haven't done anything serious, but I never cause trouble on my own initiative."

Take my leg injuries, for example. That day, I honestly had no idea what I had done to deserve this. I was cornered in an alley by several shady young men, and they attacked me without saying a word. To be honest, I still feel incredibly wronged!
