Chapter 403 Because it's worth it
Fortunately, Rong Chengjue always pays upfront, unlike Lan Weiying who just watched her money go down the drain.
Rong Chengjue always paid for the goods more promptly than Gong Yun. Gong Yun needed approval from the military, but Rong Chengjue always transferred the money to her personally. The money arrived in her account before the medicine was even shipped out. He was a very good business partner.
She was also happy to work with him long-term.
Although Si Yuting only wanted to tease his wife, he still felt happy upon hearing her reply.
He suddenly understood what emotional value was.
They're right, how could he not love her?
His young wife tilted her head up, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and he automatically took it as an invitation, so he lowered his head and kissed her.
After a brief, intimate moment, both of them lost control.
Si Yuting was the first to pull away, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes. He wiped the water stains from the corner of Qu Tong's lips with his thumb and said in a low voice, "Two more days."
"What?" Qu Tong didn't react for a moment.
Si Yuting smiled, offered no explanation, and changed the subject, "I've arranged for Grandpa to come over today for treatment of my mental sea, is there anything I need to prepare in advance?"
Qu Tong glanced at Si Yuting, "No need, Master has already prepared everything."
She asked why Si Yuting came back today; it turned out it was because of this.
Since school was out for break, Old Man Yuan went directly back to Yuelan Bay with her, so the treatment was also arranged to take place there.
Unlike previous treatments, news of Gong Yun's recovery has already spread and attracted a lot of attention, so extra caution is needed this time.
Before Gong Yun arrived, Qu Tong went to her room to prepare some medicine.
After arranging the defenses of Yuelan Bay for the night, Si Yuting returned to his room to keep Qu Tong company.
The main villa in Yue Lan Bay is not small; there are only two bedrooms on the second floor, so the space is quite large.
Qu Tong had turned the original study in her room into a place to prepare potions, and this was the first time Si Yuting had entered.
Unlike the laboratories he had visited in Jiangzhou or the research institute before, Qu Tong's laboratory was very simple, lacking many of the machines necessary for preparing reagents.
While tidying up the medicinal herbs, Qu Tong glanced at the mess and said, "It's a bit messy. Find yourself a place to sit."
Si Yuting hummed in agreement.
Qu Tong ignored Si Yuting and began preparing the medicine on her own.
Si Yuting looked at Qu Tong's completely different approach to configuration and felt a complex mix of emotions.
It seems that in Ali's heart, there are no boundaries with him.
Not only did she allow him into her private territory, but she also allowed him to watch her prepare potions. You should know that the prescriptions and preparation methods are secrets that pharmacists never easily reveal.
Would Ali have given such wholehearted approval to someone else?
Since that was what Si Yuting was thinking, he asked the question directly.
"Not necessarily." Qu Tong tilted her head, then changed her words, "Then why does His Highness trust me so much and grant me so many privileges?"
Si Yuting was suddenly taken aback, because Ali was his wife and his lover. He wanted to be good to her, nothing more.
"Because Your Highness is worthy," Qu Tong said with a smile.
Because Your Highness deserves it.
Si Yuting repeated this sentence in his mind, pondering it carefully, and felt a warm sensation in his chest.
Qu Tong continued preparing the medicine. Neither of them spoke again, and the only sounds in the room were the monotonous pounding of medicine and the sound of water being poured.
About two hours later, Qu Tong placed several vials of medicine in Si Yuting's hand and nudged his fingers.
"What is this?" Si Yuting looked at Qu Tong in confusion.
"Didn't Father have a mental breakdown a few days ago? Prepare one for each of them, just in case."
Si Yuting looked at the potions in his palm. There were exactly six, including the Crown Princess who had no spiritual power. They were all top-grade potions.
The Pharmacist Guild couldn't provide this many even in a month. Ali prepared them in just two hours, and judging from her good mental state, it didn't seem to have taken much mental effort.
Medicine is a matter of life and death, and Si Yuting never hesitates on this matter. He put the medicine back into his spatial storage and then opened his personal computer: "I'll transfer the money to you."
"Isn't your money my money too?" Qu Tong raised an eyebrow playfully.
“That’s different.” Si Yuting paused in his work, then changed his words, “I’ll have my father and brother transfer the money to you.”
"Really, it's not necessary." Qu Tong had no intention of charging money. The special-grade potions she prepared didn't actually cost much, and the most valuable Seven-Leaf Hearts were all grown by herself.
Si Yuting, however, had his own principles and firmly believed in keeping accounts clearly even between close brothers, and that even his father, the emperor, should not be overlooked.
Si Yuting directly instructed Gu Xiu to bring the medicine into the palace. Half an hour later, Qu Tong received several transfers of 15 million each, as well as 20 million each from Si Yuting and the Empress.
What could Qu Tong do but reluctantly accept it?
After replying to the messages from the Crown Princess and the Empress, Rong Yueqing's call came in.
Rong Yueqing is returning to China, and asked her if she wanted to visit the Casa Empire.
Qu Tong politely declined.
I also mentioned to Brother Liang that Rong Chengjue's medicine for next month had already been given in advance.
As night fell, quite a few incidents did occur outside Yuelan Bay, but with Si Yuting's personal protection, the treatment was completed without any major incidents.
Qu Tong leaned back on the soft sofa, a familiar drowsiness washing over her.
Qu Tong subconsciously touched her stomach, lazily squinting her eyes.
After resolving Lan Weiying's matter, she might be able to make a trip to the Casa Empire.
Si Yuting is dealing with the Zerg, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return to Abel.
She had previously learned that the Casa Empire did not have such strict control over childbirth, and some smaller hospitals still retained the outdated medical technology of urine testing in order to save costs.
Does your stomach still hurt?
A large hand suddenly covered Qu Tong's hand that was on her stomach, startling her so much that she sat up straight.
Realizing her reaction was a bit too strong, Qu Tong could only agree with Si Yuting's words, "A bit."
Si Yuting's dark eyes lingered on Qu Tong's stomach for a moment, his fingertips resting on Qu Tong's wrist, his brows furrowing slightly.
The atmosphere was somewhat strange, and Qu Tong couldn't help but breathe carefully. If she said that he was the only man she had, would he believe her?
They'll probably believe it.
Just a second before Qu Tong was about to explain, Si Yuting spoke.
"It's a bit cold. I'll make you a bowl of brown sugar water later. Drink it before you go to sleep."
Qu Tong: "..."
If you can't take a pulse, what are you doing touching it...?
Gong Yun was escorted to a guest room to rest by Si Yuting's men, while Qu Tong was sent back to her bedroom by Si Yuting.
Half an hour after Si Yuting went downstairs, he brought up a bowl of brown sugar ginger water.
"Did His Highness cook this himself?"
"Qianqian cooked it," Si Yuting said truthfully. "But I remembered the process. If you want to drink my cooking, I'll cook it for you next time."
"Ha~ No need, Your Highness is so busy."
Si Yuting gently patted Qu Tong's head. "We still have some time."
After drinking the brown sugar ginger water, Qu Tong went straight to sleep, too lazy to even take a bath.
Si Yuting glanced at his wife's peaceful sleeping face, then left with a serious expression and dialed Jiang Zhou's number.
