This is practically a massive social disaster.
So, Aunt Yun, who was suddenly struck by this scene, was also shocked. She stood there with her eyes wide open, and the words she was about to say to Huo Beiyuan were stuck in her throat. This was the first time that the usually strict and rigid housekeeper of Jiyuan had acted so unprofessionally.
There's nothing else to it, it's just that...
The scene before her was too much of a challenge for her heart.
The boy buried his porcelain-white, delicate face between Huo Ye's legs, a posture that inexplicably stirred the imagination.
As for Mr. Huo, his tie, which was originally tied properly, was pulled slightly loose and hung around his neck, revealing a glimpse of his Adam's apple, which was originally hidden under his collar. It moved slightly and inexplicably gave him a touch of sexiness.
The air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of tobacco.
The man's appearance suggests the saying, "A cigarette after sex is better than being a god."
No wonder Aunt Yun misunderstood.
Aunt Yun seemed to realize that she had interrupted her master's good time. As an excellent housekeeper, she immediately controlled her expression, lowered her eyes, and asked, "I'm sorry, Master Huo, I'll take my leave and come back later."
Aunt Yun was both shocked and happy. Finally, there was someone who cared about Master Huo. She would have to tell the kitchen to make some nourishing soup for Master Huo and Young Master Qin later...
Qin Ge, recovering from the immense shock, was speechless.
Upon hearing Aunt Yun's words, he thought to himself, "Aunt Yun, have you misunderstood something?!"
He said, "Oh, no..."
"No need." Just as Aunt Yun was about to leave the study and considerately closed the door behind her, Huo Beiyuan stopped her. Otherwise, the little cat lying on his lap would have gotten all puffed up.
Huo Beiyuan could almost see all the soft, beautiful fur on the other person's body stand up straight.
The man lowered his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he chuckled softly.
He bent down slightly, reached out and grasped the boy's arm, helping him up.
The man's thin lips brushed against Qin Ge's ear, and as he spoke, there was a faint, almost imperceptible caress and kiss. He heard Huo Beiyuan say, "What, little one, you still don't want to leave your uncle's embrace?"
Qin Ge choked on her words and started coughing, "Cough cough cough..."
What I really wanted to say was—
Bullshit!
Who wouldn't want to part with it?!
He didn't mean to, he didn't mean to!
Low blood sugar caused my foot to slip!
Do you understand?!
Although he might be internally arguing with conviction, rationally speaking, Qin Ge felt that slipping was... really like an excuse.
Qin Ge even felt his lips were inexplicably hot and unbearable, a certain sensation lingering, making him want to raise his hand to wipe his lips.
but.
Do that...
That's too deliberate!
It's as if he really cares about this "accident"!
As Huo Beiyuan helped the boy up, he patted his thin back.
Qin Ge coughed until her face was flushed, and her eyes were glistening with tears, giving her a slightly seductive look.
Aunt Yun took one look and thought to herself:
Even she would be captivated by Qin Shao's current appearance; no wonder he could charm Master Huo, even in the elegant and scholarly study...
However, Young Master Qin is young, and Master Huo doesn't know how to be considerate of him.
Look at how pitiful Young Master Qin is.
Tsk.
It's so heartbreaking.
The boy stood up from beside him and stood to one side. A rare pang of regret crossed Huo Beiyuan's heart. He asked, "Aunt Yun, what did you just say?"
Aunt Yun put aside her random thoughts and adopted the demeanor of a professional housekeeper, respectfully replying once again, "Several guests have arrived at Jiyuan, bringing a large quantity of medicinal herbs, which they say were purchased by Young Master Qin."
At the end, Aunt Yun paused for a moment and glanced at the boy.
Qin Ge had stopped coughing, but the corners of her eyes were still red. Combined with her delicate, snow-white face, all her aloofness, pride, and indifference vanished in an instant, making her look utterly pitiful.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ge spoke slowly, "Indeed, these are the medicinal herbs I purchased from Huichuntang and had delivered to Jiyuan."
He paused for a moment, then added, "The medicinal herbs at Huichuntang are quite valuable. I don't have much money on me; I'm just a poor student. This is for treating your leg. Uncle Huo, you wouldn't expect me to pay for this, would you?"
Huo Beiyuan parted his thin lips slightly, glanced at the shrewd-looking young man with a half-smile, and said, "Of course not."
Aunt Yun added, "There's one more thing. Doctor Jiang from Huichuntang said he wants to see Young Master Qin."
Huo Beiyuan tapped his long fingers casually on his knee. "Let's go take a look."
After a pause, the man looked at Qin Ge and said, "Little boy, come here and give uncle a push."
A hint of surprise flashed in Aunt Yun's eyes. Huo Ye's wheelchair was something that he rarely allowed anyone to touch except for a few close relatives.
For someone who is unable to walk, having their wheelchair controlled by another person is a very foolish and terrible thing.
Therefore, the fact that Master Huo could have Young Master Qin help push his wheelchair is a sign of trust.
Aunt Yun thought about it again and felt that it was understandable. Young Master Qin was already Master Huo's man, so wasn't it only natural that Master Huo trusted him?
Qin Ge had no idea that Aunt Yun was thinking so many complicated things. He stepped forward and pushed Huo Beiyuan's wheelchair from the study to the living room.
In the living room, the servants of Jiyuan were moving medicinal herbs into the storeroom. Doctor Jiang and Xiao Si, the apprentice Qin Ge had met at Huichuntang earlier that day, were also there.
Dr. Jiang sat with a cup of pre-Qingming Longjing tea in front of him, while Xiao Si stood behind his master. This was a matter of respect and etiquette.
The field of traditional Chinese medicine places great emphasis on rules and tradition.
Even today, the old system is still in use.
Dr. Jiang clearly recognized the famous Master Huo of Jiyuan, Huo Beiyuan. He stood up and said, "Master Huo, I apologize for the intrusion and disturbance today."
Huo Beiyuan sat in a wheelchair. Although Dr. Jiang was standing while he was sitting, and there was a significant height difference between them, the villainous boss's aura easily overwhelmed Dr. Jiang.
In public, the man was aloof and indifferent, only showing a slight smile when mentioning a certain kitten. He said, "Dr. Jiang, you're too kind. You've come to deliver something to my child, how can you call it an intrusion?"
Qin Ge's face was cold and expressionless.
Thinking:
Who belongs to your family?
Old man, shameless.
The medicines purchased by the customer can be delivered to their door; anyone can be sent. Why would he need to come in person? Doctor Jiang had no choice but to explain his true purpose: "Master Huo, I won't keep you in suspense. To be honest, I actually want to meet the person who purchased these medicines."
As he spoke, Dr. Jiang turned his gaze to the boy standing behind Huo Beiyuan, who was pushing Huo Beiyuan's wheelchair.
Clearly, he knew it was Qin Ge.
Because his own apprentice had described the boy's appearance to him.
Dr. Jiang thought to himself.
Just as Xiao Si said, she has a delicate and beautiful appearance, with the noble air of a young master from a prestigious family, but she doesn't come across as effeminate at all.
No wonder even the renowned Master Huo addressed him with such an intimate tone—
My child.
Before Huo Beiyuan could speak, Qin Ge had already acknowledged her identity, saying, "It's me."
He asked, "What can I do for you?"
Doctor Jiang looked at Qin Ge, took out a piece of paper. It was an ordinary piece of paper, but Doctor Jiang's precious attitude made it seem as if he was holding some kind of treasure. "May I ask, young friend, does this prescription belong to you?"
"It belongs to me," Qin Ge nodded slightly.
Doctor Jiang held his breath slightly. "Where did the prescription come from?"
Qin Ge said, "I wrote it."
"Young friend, you know medicine?"
I know a little bit about it.
Doctor Jiang's eyes were piercing. "To be honest, young friend, my Jiang family has been practicing medicine for generations, dedicated to inheriting and promoting traditional Chinese medicine culture. In recent years, we have been researching incomplete ancient prescriptions. Your prescription is a long-lost detoxification remedy. I was so excited by this that I couldn't sit still and came to visit you... I wonder if you would sell this prescription?"
Qin Ge understood immediately.
He had traversed countless planes of existence, his mind brimming with a wealth of wondrous knowledge, like a treasure trove. This prescription was but a drop in the ocean of the vast galaxy, yet for ordinary people, it was an invaluable treasure, priceless and priceless.
Dr. Jiang of Huichuntang spent his life studying ancient Chinese prescriptions that had been lost during the chaos of dynastic changes and wars. Naturally, he couldn't help but be tempted when he saw the prescription written by Qin Ge.
Qin Ge had no ill feelings towards Doctor Jiang. The doctor was sincere and polite, and did not put on airs or question him because of his age or his medical skills.
In fact, he could have easily avoided making this trip, secretly keeping Qin Ge's prescription without paying a single penny.
But he didn't do that.
Therefore, Qin Ge had a good impression of him and was willing to do him a favor.
Anyway, he used to be a god-level alchemist in a fantasy world, so he could easily come up with high-level prescriptions like this, and he could have as many as he wanted.
So the boy nodded and said, "Sell."
