The man subconsciously lowered his eyes, his gaze freezing.
"Ah!" Qiao Wanwan was so embarrassed she wanted to gouge his eyes out. She hurriedly picked up a bath towel and wrapped it around herself in a panic. "What are you looking at!"
The man spread his hands innocently, "Madam Zhan, you were the one who wanted to show it to me."
"No, I didn't! I fell down by accident!"
"So what if I've seen it? It's not like I haven't seen it before." A wicked smile curved the man's thin lips. "Not only have I seen it, but I've also..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Wanwan covered his mouth with her hand, "Shut up! Don't say it out loud!"
A smile crept into the man's eyes as he kissed her palm. "Are you shy?"
"I can't be bothered with you." Qiao Wanwan wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him. "I heard you on the phone just now, did something happen?"
"Yes." The man replied truthfully, "The news about Eleven has spread through the Wen family, and many people in our circle know that Wen Xue and I have a son."
Qiao Wanwan frowned. "The Wen family did this on purpose, didn't they?"
Zhan Jingting sneered, "Of course it was intentional. In order to trap me, they didn't even care about Wen Xue's reputation."
"So you were just on the phone with someone from the Wen family?"
"Wen Xue's older brother, Wen Lijing, the heir of the Wen family."
"This name sounds familiar, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before..." Qiao Wanwan racked her brains and quickly remembered, "Isn't Wen Lijing in politics? He even came to inspect Imperial University before!"
"Yes, he is of high status. The Wen family deliberately pushed him into politics in order to stabilize their position."
"I see." Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but worry, "Does having someone like this in the Wen family pose a threat to you?"
"No." Zhan Jingting smiled faintly. "If the Wen family can send him up, I can bring him down."
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "That's good. I was worried that the Wen family would put pressure on you, and if you couldn't handle it, you would be in a very passive position."
"No, you don't need to worry."
"Um."
Zhan Jingting kissed her forehead. "I'm going to take a shower."
"good."
After turning off the lights, Qiao Wanwan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
"What's wrong?" The man beside her hugged her. "I promised to let you go tonight, but you can't sleep? Is this a hint that you want me to do something?"
Qiao Wanwan hurriedly pushed his hand away, "Stop messing around."
"I didn't make a scene."
"I'm worried." Qiao Wanwan hugged his arm. "Master is still missing, and your illness hasn't been cured yet. Now that the National Day holiday is here, if your father and I's hereditary disease spreads, wouldn't those people who are eyeing you be very pleased with themselves?"
"The Wen family isn't that stupid. They know the consequences of spreading this information, so they won't leak it. Don't worry."
Are you sure?
Zhan Jingting touched her face. "Wanwan, the Wen family's goal is very clear: they want Wen Xue to marry me for political alliance. Since that's the case, they naturally want my position to be secure."
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "That seems to make sense."
“I have intensified my efforts to find your master, but there has been no news. This matter cannot be rushed.”
“I know that my master’s fate is uncertain and finding him will not be easy.”
"I don't want to think about it anymore, let's go to sleep."
"Um."
......
Zhan Jingting slept soundly until dawn. When he woke up, he found that Qiao Wanwan was not in bed.
"Wanwan, Wanwan?"
He called out twice, but no one responded. He then got up, washed up, changed his clothes, and went downstairs.
"Good morning, young master." Zheng Ma greeted him. "Breakfast will be ready soon."
"Where is Madam?"
"Madam got up around 5 a.m. and is in her room in the basement."
Zhan Jingting took the elevator to the basement, and through the glass door, he saw Qiao Wanwan intently studying a pile of medicines.
He knocked on the door and went in. "Why are you up so early?"
"You're up?" Qiao Wanwan said happily. "I suddenly had an idea, so I got up immediately to study it."
"Go have breakfast."
"Okay, but I don't want to go to school today. I need to study these herbs."
"Okay, I'll stay home with you."
Qiao Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "Professor Qiao, how could you skip work?"
"Of course, spending time with my wife is more important."
Qiao Wanwan smiled and kissed his cheek. "Let's go have breakfast first."
After breakfast, Zhan Yin went to school alone, while Qiao Wanwan immediately immersed herself in a pile of medicinal herbs.
"Sister Wanwan!" Eleven came in carrying a plate of cookies. "I brought you some delicious treats!"
"Thank you, Eleven." Qiao Wanwan washed her hands and ate with him. "It smells so good."
"It was Zheng Ma who made it with Shiyi."
"No wonder it smells so good."
"Sister Wanwan, Aunt Zheng said you're researching medicine for Eleven so that Eleven won't have a headache anymore."
"I guess so, but it might not be effective. I can only try my best."
"Wanwan is the best!" Eleven pouted and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. "Keep it up!"
Qiao Wanwan felt a sweet warmth in her heart. "Thank you, Eleven. I will definitely work hard."
After hesitating for a moment, Shiyi added, "Sister Wanwan, Aunt Zheng also said that you are my mother."
Qiao Wanwan was taken aback. "Why would she say that?"
"Because you are Daddy's wife, you should be my mother."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
She felt a bittersweet feeling, and her heart was beating faster than usual!
Mother......
Eleven actually called her "Mom"!
Qiao Wanwan sniffed and explained rationally, "Eleven, what Zheng Ma said isn't entirely correct. You have your own mommy, and she's the one who loves you the most. You can like Wanwan-jie, and we can be good friends, but she's your only mommy, understand?"
Eleven blinked. "But I really love Wanwan. If Wanwan could be my mommy, I would have two mommys, and I would be so happy."
"Wanwan also really, really likes Eleven, but I can't replace your mommy, so you have to love her well, okay?"
"I love Mommy very much." Eleven swung her little legs and added, "I love Wanwan too."
Qiao Wanwan hugged him, "Good boy."
......
At that time, it was a high-end villa area in the capital.
Wen Xue met two doctors in her study.
"The medical records are here. These two are experts in genetic diseases. Surely they can find a way to treat my son's illness?"
After reviewing the medical record, the two doctors looked at each other and then said, "Ms. Wen, I'm sorry, this medical record was written by our mentor, who is also an authority in this field. The fact that you brought this medical record to us means that our mentor has no solution. If even he is helpless with this disease, then we certainly have no chance of solving it."
Wen Xue's face turned pale. "What should I do? What should I do?"
"Miss Wen, please rest assured, the young master is still young, there is plenty of time to study his condition, I believe we will definitely overcome it."
"yes."
Wen Xue covered her face with her hands, "My child is still young, but Jing Ting is not young anymore. Year after year, he will soon be thirty years old!"
One of the doctors considered for a moment before speaking, "Miss Wen, I do have a solution..."
