Cui Zhengming's smile was lewd. The two had been married for quite some time, but not consummating their marriage was a secret between them.

Qin Yi's eyes turned cold, and he pursed his lips: "It's not time yet."

Cui Zhengming stroked his beard and patted him on the shoulder: "Kid, I understand."

Qin Yi was speechless with anger; he understood!

What do you know?

Did he know they hadn't consummated their marriage?

Feeling a chill creeping over him, Cui Zhengming smiled and slowly went back into the house. This kid, when he took his pulse today, he felt a chill in his heart and wanted to warm him up.

If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't dare to take on a patient like Qin Yi.

But Cui Zhengming was never afraid of this.

Qin Yi leaned back in his wheelchair, his eyes vacant. For him, Cui Zhengming was probably the last chance to stand up.

A rich aroma soon filled the kitchen. Su Wan cooked quickly and efficiently, and in no time, a sumptuous meal was served.

Grandma Qin took out her treasured wine and greeted Cui Zhengming.

"Dr. Cui, come here."

"Oh, old lady, please stop calling me 'miracle doctor,' just call me Zhengming."

Cui Zhengming was very outgoing and quickly became like family with Grandma Qin.

He looked at the dishes, picked up his chopsticks without any hesitation, and stuffed them into his mouth, praising them as he ate.

"Young lady, your skills are really good."

After praising him, he then complained about the chef who cooked for him.

"You don't know, that chef's skills are truly exceptional. I'm not saying he's picky, but even a pig would shake its head at his cooking."

Su Wan looked at Cui Zhengming, something flashed through her mind, and she blurted it out.

"Dr. Cui, were you a Taoist priest before?"

Cui Zhengming took a sip of wine and a bite of food, and just as he was about to swallow, he heard Su Wan say this, and the food got stuck in his throat.

"Cough cough cough..."

Su Wan's expression shifted slightly. It really was him. Fate in this world is truly wondrous. She never expected that after so many years, she would actually meet the old Taoist priest from back then.

Cui Zhengming finally recovered, his eyes slightly red from coughing. He looked at Su Wan with a question in his eyes.

How did you know?

Su Wan stood up and respectfully poured him a full glass. "Dr. Cui, I toast you..."

Su Wan recounted how Cui Zhengming had saved her years ago. Cui Zhengming narrowed his eyes and sized up Su Wan.

Cui Zhengming was a Taoist priest in his early years. He had a master, but after his master passed away, he handed over the Taoist temple to his junior brother and traveled around.

By chance, he saved Su Wan, who had accidentally broken her leg and arm while cutting pig feed on the mountain.

If it weren't for him, Su Wan wouldn't be alive today.

Cui Zhengming looked Su Wan up and down and nodded repeatedly.

Yes, that's true.

"Not bad, not bad, little girl, you've grown up. I really wouldn't have recognized you if you hadn't told me."

"But then again, your mother is a real bastard; she doesn't care whether you live or die."

Su Wan smiled faintly.

"She's not my mother, she's the woman who kidnapped me."

Cui Zhengming was taken aback, then suddenly realized why the woman wouldn't even let Su Wan see her injured state.

So they're not their biological children, no wonder they don't care.

"And what about her now?"

"Dead."

Su Wan remained calm, not feigning sadness. She was neither a sentimental person nor someone who dared to do something but not to take responsibility.

Qin Yi sat up straight, poured Cui Zhengming a glass of wine, and changed the subject. Although Su Wan looked normal, he knew that she probably didn't want to talk about that bad experience.

Qin Yi glanced at Su Wan's face, and Su Wan spoke of her broken bone in a casual manner.

He felt sorry for her, knowing that she had faced such pain at such a young age, with no one to care for her and she had to protect herself from the storm.

Su Wan felt a slight sense of relief. If Cui Zhengming could heal Qin Yi's leg, it meant that Qin Yi had a very high chance of standing up again.

Grandma Qin was so happy after hearing Su Wan's words that she kept chanting Buddhist prayers.

"May Buddha protect us, Amitabha!"

"Zhengming, why did you leave the monastic life?"

Grandma Qin couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.

"That's all in the past," Cui Zhengming said with a laugh, trying to cover it up.

Seeing that Cui Zhengming didn't want to talk about this topic, Da Jiu also stopped bringing it up.

Qin Yi did not miss the fleeting look of desolation in Cui Zhengming's eyes.

The meal was a pleasure for both the host and guests.

After the meal, Cui Zhengming, slightly tipsy, went to lie down unsteadily.

Su Wan pushed Qin Yi back to the room. As soon as they entered, Qin Yi pulled her over and hugged her on his lap. He had wanted to hug Su Wan earlier.

I just wanted to hug her.

Su Wan almost laughed at his sudden clinginess and pushed him away. "What? Are you really afraid of hurting your wife?"

"Yes and no, I just want to hold you, and I also want to... consummate our marriage."

Qin Yi had also drunk some wine, and his breath, tinged with alcohol, sprayed onto Su Wan's neck, causing a strange, tingling sensation.

Su Wan was taken aback, then chuckled softly and subconsciously looked towards the door.

"So urgent?"

"Um."

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but when Qin Yi looked at Su Wan, just looking at her face, it was no exaggeration to say that she was breathtakingly beautiful, but it was definitely attractive enough to make people want to get closer.

And there was his figure hidden under his cotton undershirt. He could clearly see the look in Lu Xing's eyes and how humble he was in front of Su Wan.

These were enough to make his heart flutter.

Su Wan ruffled Qin Yi's hair: "Are you hoping to recover soon? Otherwise, why are these things always on your mind?"

"When I'm with you, I can't think of anything else."

When Qin Yi speaks sweet words, he is both serious and charming.

"Cooperate with Doctor Cui obediently; he is truly skilled."
