Chapter 96 Lin Youqian apologizes
Old Man Zhao comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. His traditional Chinese medicine skills are top-notch in Xia Country, and he is known as the leader in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
After retirement, he became the Lin family's family physician. This was largely due to the fact that he and Grandma Lin had known each other since childhood and were close friends. At his 80s, having a close friend by his side was considered life's greatest blessing.
Old man Zhao smiled meaningfully.
"That medicine is for boosting yang. Ah You said Qiqi gave it to him. I don't think so. Qiqi is still a young girl, how could she do such a thing?"
"It's probably him. He has some minor ailment, but he can't bring himself to ask me for a checkup. So he got this prescription from someone else, but he's worried it's unreliable, so he's beating around the bush and asking me to identify it."
When Grandma Lin heard this, her sleepy eyes suddenly opened and she jumped up from the soft chair.
"How is that possible? Our Ah You is so healthy, how could there be something wrong with that? This must be a mistake!"
Old Man Zhao smiled bitterly. "No doubt about it. He gave me that medicine himself. I've been practicing medicine for over 60 years. If I can't even figure out this recipe, wouldn't that be a waste of my life?"
"Ayou looks very strong. But many young men nowadays are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Otherwise, why has he never been interested in women in all these years?"
"Besides, didn't he like fooling around with other men a few years ago? Maybe that's when he ruined his health?"
Grandma Lin was so anxious that the wrinkles on her face were twisted into a ball of twine.
"So what should we do now? We only have one son in the eldest branch of the family. We can't let him die out, right?"
"And our Lin family's huge business empire will eventually be passed on to him."
Old Man Zhao gently advised her, "Xiaohua, don't be anxious. We need to take our time with this. Let's first find out more about Ah You's situation before we make any plans."
"Last time, didn't Qiqi say he had two small kidney stones? I lied to him and said this medicine would help with the stones. Let's see how he reacts first."
"It's just that this recipe is too strong. I'll improve it to prevent the Yang Fire from being too strong and causing internal deficiency."
When Lin Youqian learned that the medicine was good for removing stones, he was overjoyed. It seemed that what Doctor Zhang had said about the young woman actually caring about her health was true.
He held the precious medicine tightly in his arms like a wolfhound guarding its food, and immediately ran to the kitchen to ask Aunt Zhang to help him decoct it.
Lin Youqian, who had been resistant to drinking Chinese medicine since childhood, this time directly picked up the big bowl of black medicine and drank it all in one breath.
Moreover, he ran to Qi Xu's room to take credit in a shameless manner.
"Qiqi, the medicine you gave me was so bitter! But I drank it all in one gulp!"
What I mean is, praise me quickly!
This was the first time he called her Qiqi as usual after their cold war.
But Qi Xu hadn't even raised his eyelids since he entered. He completely ignored him and didn't even bother to reply. He continued to talk to Lu Shixu on the phone.
"Qiqi, how was the exam this time? Did you feel confident?"
"Yeah, I did very well on the test. Thank you, big brother, for helping me memorize the questions every day and for getting Dr. Niu from National Tsing Hua University to tutor me."
Lu Shixu took the opportunity to ask her out.
"Qiqi, if you want to thank me, why not treat me to a meal and then take me to Happy World? I haven't been to an amusement park since I was a child."
He didn't want to go to the amusement park himself, but he knew that she liked to play, so he wanted to take her there to have a good time.
"Okay! Okay! I love riding the extreme roller coaster and the spinning ring the most. They're so thrilling! Then when my second brother and I are both on break, we'll go!"
Lin Youqian at the door had become as stiff as a statue, his face so black that ink could drip out.
But Qi Xu didn't even look at him the whole time, and was always immersed in the phone with a smile on his face.
"Qi Xu, which strange man are you talking to on the phone? Do you even take me, your husband, seriously?"
Lin Youqian's voice was loud, and every word was filled with anger.
"What do you care? You're sick!"
Qi Xu's answer made Lu Shixu happy, but also worried about her.
"Qiqi, if you have any problems, we can talk when you come back. Take care of yourself. If you are in danger, call your second brother."
"Well! Goodbye, second brother!"
Even when Qi Xu hung up the phone, her voice was sweet, with a lingering smile on her lips. Lin Youqian was so jealous that he wanted to go crazy.
But he didn't dare scold her or be mean to her anymore, for fear of pushing her further away.
Only he knew how much pain he had endured during this period of cold war. And this little woman, as if nothing had happened, had found a new love.
He didn't know what he had done wrong. Since she came back from the business trip, she had completely changed and became someone he didn't recognize at all.
In his world, he never considered women as a part of his life. But since he met this little woman, his world has been occupied by her unconsciously.
Even if she was willful, selfish, and unreasonable, he accepted it. Just like what Old Man Li said, if he could only save one between his child and his wife, he would have to sacrifice the child.
Because this little woman will never let herself suffer any injustice.
"Qiqi. I came to apologize to you. I shouldn't have quarreled with you that day. I was wrong! Please forgive me."
Qi Xu's smile was as cold as her attitude. "It's okay, I forgot about it a long time ago."
Lin Youqian felt a pain in his heart and begged her humbly.
"Qiqi, let's stop arguing, okay? I don't like this, it makes me feel so bad. I miss you every day, it drives me crazy."
"I know I have a bad temper, but I will try my best to correct it. I promise that I will never speak loudly to you again, and I will treat you gently."
"You like to spend money, you can spend it as you like. As long as you are happy, it doesn't matter if you spend all the money in the card."
Speaking of money, Qi Xu threw the black card and salary card to him again. "From now on, I will never spend a penny of your money again. You can spend your money on whoever you want. It has nothing to do with me."
"How can it be irrelevant? You are my wife. If I don't spend my money on you, who else can I spend it on?"
Qi Xu was sarcastically insulting her.
"Oh, sorry. Last time, I delayed your purchase of a house for Ms. Zhou. Now I'm returning the card to you. Whether it's a villa or a mansion, please feel free to choose!"
Lin Youqian has clearly realized his mistake. This little guy is not only jealous, but also shrewd. From now on, he will never spend a penny on another woman.
Although, I have never spent it before.
"Qiqi, don't be jealous. I won't buy her a house, not even a brick. I know you still care about me and love me, right?"
What love? Bullshit! Back at the military industry institute, when she heard people calling Auntie Zhou "Pao Sao", all her love was gone.
"Lin Youqian, please stop being so narcissistic. I, Qi Xu, have never loved you from the beginning. Before, I married you for money. Didn't you know that from the beginning?"
"Please, stop acting in front of me. It's tiring for me to watch. Whoever you like and love, just love them openly. I don't mind at all. I sincerely wish you a happy love life and a happy marriage so that I can retire."
Lin Youqian stood there in silence. He was deeply hurt by the words that he had never loved from the beginning to the end.
"Since you have never loved me, why did you go out of your way to get medicine for me?"
