Recalling the bitterness of taking medicine in the past, she couldn't help but shiver slightly.
Old Chen laughed heartily upon hearing this, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes almost curving into crescents. "I'll add some licorice or sugarcane to it this time, so it won't be bitter."
"Wouldn't that reduce the effectiveness of the medicine?"
Zhang Ruoshui raised an eyebrow, but a smile played at the corners of her lips.
She turned her head to look at the person beside her. The sunlight fell on his slightly graying temples, creating a strange illusion of a peaceful and serene life.
"rest assured",
Old Chen patted his chest, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
"The medicine I brew myself will never be less effective."
He spoke very seriously, as if he were making some important promise between a young couple.
And behind them,
Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua followed like two nimble cats.
Su Qingyao had already been carrying her high heels in her hand, and she was walking barefoot on the cold marble floor.
Mu Shaohua squatted down, her ears almost touching the two people in front of her.
They dared not breathe too loudly, afraid of disturbing the people in front, but their eyes darted around, not missing a single detail.
Sudden,
As if sensing something, Zhang Ruoshui suddenly turned around.
The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.
She instinctively shook off Old Chen's arm, her expression instantly changing from gentle to panicked, like a child whose secret had been exposed.
Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua exchanged a glance, then walked forward with confident strides.
The two men's eyes swept over the two of them like searchlights, and they said in unison, "Mom, Uncle Chen, we didn't expect to run into you here!"
Zhang Ruoshui looked at the shoes Su Qingyao was carrying and Mu Shaohua blinked, and instantly felt both amused and exasperated.
She took a deep breath and tried to make her expression look natural.
Seeing the probing looks from his two daughters-in-law, he gave a wry smile. 'These two girls have actually investigated Old Chen's clinic so thoroughly in such a short time. Have they come to investigate in person?'
He smiled and asked, "My shoulder is a little uncomfortable, so I came to your Uncle Chen's clinic with you. What brings you here?"
"Qingzhou is injured and is here for a check-up,"
Su Qingyao waved her phone. "Look, we just arrived and ran into you. What a coincidence!" Her tone was light, but she was secretly observing her mother's reaction.
Zhang Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief, secretly blaming herself for being overly suspicious.
Mu Shaohua, however, keenly noticed Zhang Ruoshui's momentary relaxation. Her eyes darted around, and she said mischievously, "Mom, you don't actually think we're here to investigate Uncle Chen, do you?"
After saying that, he winked, looking like he knew everything.
Your thoughts were guessed.
Zhang Ruoshui's cheeks flushed, and she reached out to poke Mu Shaohua's forehead, feigning anger, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat?"
Then, changing the subject, "How is Xiao Lu? Which ward is he in?"
Su Qingyao replied, "I don't know either, I haven't asked yet."
