Chapter 58 Failed Dinner Invitation (1/2)



Sheng Yi had complete faith in the diagnosis made by Old Master Sheng, so the only explanation for this situation was that Zhu Qinghao recovered on her own.

I just don't know how she got better? It can't really be because of that inexplicable engagement, can it?

Thinking about all this, Sheng Yi felt a tightness in his chest, but fearing that Zhu Qinghao wouldn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask anything.

"There is still a small problem, but it is not serious anymore. Compared to my grandfather's diagnosis, it is much better now. I believe you will be fully recovered soon."

Zhu Qinghao nodded upon hearing this. She knew about the effects of the spiritual spring water and was not surprised that it could make her feel much better.

As she was pondering what to say if Sheng Yi asked her what medicine she was taking, she heard Sheng Yi directly change the subject.

"Your wild boar and roe deer are probably gone now, but if you want them, I can go up the mountain to hunt them and bring them to your home."

Zhu Qinghao thought about those things and felt it was a bit of a pity, but there was nothing she could do. She could only smile and nod, agreeing to Sheng Yi's suggestion.

"Okay, then thank you in advance, Dr. Jiang. Even if there's a lot, I can take it all. You don't need to transport it to the black market; just bring it to my house."

Sheng Yi understood what she meant. After all, there were so many people from the Zhu family here, so it was normal for Zhu Qinghao to ask for more.

Before she could say anything more, she heard Zhu Qinghao ask with a hint of worry:

"Are you going up the mountain alone? Isn't that dangerous? If it's dangerous, then forget it, we'll find another way to buy meat."

Sheng Yi felt his mood improve inexplicably after hearing these words, so he curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"It's alright, I set a trap, there won't be any danger, and I'm very skilled, so don't worry about me."

"But please call me Sheng Yi. Calling me 'Little Dr. Jiang' sounds a bit strange."

When the topic of address came up, his face was full of struggle.

Zhu Qinghao saw his expression and burst out laughing.

"What's wrong, Dr. Jiang? Isn't that what everyone in the team calls you?"

At this moment, Sheng Yi blushed slightly and offered a somewhat embarrassed explanation.

"That's because the old man didn't want too many people to know he was here, so he simply took my great-grandmother's surname, Jiang. And since I came to visit him, as his grandson, I can only take the surname Jiang too. I didn't mean to lie to you."

Zhu Qinghao didn't dwell on this issue, since the person had already revealed their true identity when they were sent to the cowshed, so there was no question of whether they were lying or not.

Besides, when one travels the world, one's identity is something one gives oneself. Even if someone deceives her, she has nothing to say, since she herself has to disguise herself when she's in the black market.

Seeing that the person in front of her seemed a little nervous, her smile deepened.

"Brother Sheng Yi, can I call you Brother Sheng Yi when we're not alone?"

When Sheng Yi heard Zhu Qinghao call him "Brother Sheng Yi," it was as if he had been transported back to more than ten years ago, when she had just learned to speak and called him "Little Brother" all the time.

"Of course!"

"..."

The two stayed there for a while, and when they didn't see anyone following them, they came out through another road and returned to the bustling street.

Realizing she wouldn't be able to make it in the black market today, Zhu Qinghao found a public restroom and removed her disguise.

When Sheng Yi saw her face again, bare yet still stunningly beautiful, he couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

Zhu Qinghao noticed it, but she didn't think anything of it. After all, when she saw the handsome Sheng Yi, she also wanted to take a few more glances.
