“I’m not a specialist in traditional Chinese medicine. Let me take you to the fourth floor to see an old doctor,” An Zishang said, carrying the Chinese medicine towards the elevator.
Shang Xian frowned. She wasn't feeling well, and taking the elevator would definitely make her dizzy. She whispered in Ning Beiyao's ear, "Can we take the stairs?"
Ning Beiyao replied with an immediate "Okay".
He would not refuse any of Ji Yi's requests that he could fulfill.
When An Zishang turned around again, he saw that Ning Beiyao had already picked up Shang Xian and carried her up the stairs.
He couldn't help but click his tongue. Ji Yi was a rare beauty, especially a sickly beauty like her, delicate and graceful. She must have had quite a few protectors behind her...
He then followed him up.
Shang Xian wanted to hold onto the handrail to go upstairs, but unexpectedly, her body felt light and she was picked up by Ning Beiyao.
She realized that the moment she was picked up, many eyes were on her. Ning Beiyao was one of the three giants of Luo City. She was doomed... They might be on the front page tomorrow.
Thinking of this, she quickly buried her face in Ning Beiyao's arms.
Upon meeting the traditional Chinese medicine doctor, an elderly woman in her fifties, wearing a white coat and reading glasses with a chain, An Zishang handed her the Chinese medicine: "Dr. Gu, will this medicine work?"
Dr. Gu adjusted his reading glasses, opened the medicinal herbs, and shook his head, saying, "These herbs are fine; they're very nourishing. However, they might cause a lot of problems for young Miss Ji, who has a weak constitution."
"Dr. Gu, do you know her?" Dr. Gu doesn't appear at the hospital often; she only came this time because he specifically called her for a favor.
“I know her maternal grandmother. She has been in poor health since she was a child, but I didn’t prescribe this medicine. I know she will vomit if she drinks these kinds of tonics, so I have never prescribed these medicines for her,” Dr. Gu said with a kind smile as he looked at Shang Xian.
“There must be a cause for the illness, so…” Ning Beiyao was about to ask some more questions when Dr. Gu interrupted him, waving her hand: “Little Ji was a premature baby. The family’s nanny was careless and fed Shuqin food that caused a miscarriage. When the little girl was born, everyone thought she would die at any moment. Shuqin was left with a chronic illness and couldn’t take care of her, so her maternal grandmother took her back to Jiangcheng to raise her. But Jiangcheng is in the south, and it’s rainy all year round. She survived, but her body is weak.”
"Wait a moment, I'll go write the prescription." Doctor Gu stood up, walked to the back pharmacy, skillfully grabbed a few doses of medicine, and handed them to Ning Beiyao.
Before leaving, Dr. Gu repeatedly reminded her, "Little Ji, remember to take your medicine."
The three of them went downstairs, and An Zishang asked with a smile, "When are you going to treat me to dinner?"
"Xi Chen and Lin Nuo'er are having a cold war, you can go in my place tonight." Anyway, he didn't want to go.
An Zishang exclaimed, "Eh? Even if I don't eat, I'm not going. Those two are always bickering and being all lovey-dovey. Take care of yourself. I'm leaving."
He had just turned around when he turned back and waved to Shang Xian: "Little sister Ji, I'm leaving now. I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Shang Xian nodded, watching An Zishang's retreating figure. This young master was indeed quite lively.
When she looked away, she glanced at Ning Beiyao and found that he had been staring at her with a dangerous glint in his eyes, but when she met his gaze, his eyes softened.
Ning Beiyao is very good at pretending and acting.
"Let's go too," he said with a gentle smile.
Shang Xian then remembered that Ning Beiyao had said he would take her to meet some friends, which should be Chu Xichen, Tang Dongyu, and Lin Nuoer.
She didn't really want to run into Lin Nuoer, since her death was largely related to Lin Nuoer.
