In fact, Shen Junqing had already begun to suspect this when Nan Yan gave him acupuncture earlier.
When he arrived at the hospital, Shen Junqing was surprised to find that it was indeed Nan Yan herself who had personally treated his broken bones. This wasn’t just a suspicion; it was clear as day that she was truly skilled in medicine!
After tending to his injuries and being settled into the hospital room, Shen Junqing, now changed into a blue and white hospital gown, looked at Nan Yan who had just entered, his excitement evident.
“Nan Yan, are you some kind of prodigy?”
She excelled in racing, gambling, and now she had added medical skills to her repertoire!
He strongly suspected that her range of abilities extended far beyond just these few things!
Nan Yan, still in her dark sportswear, displayed a calm and emotionless expression on her captivating face.
“Rest well in the hospital for a few days. Once I’ve prepared a salve to accelerate bone healing, you’ll be able to walk sooner.”
Shen Junqing gazed at her, suppressing the tumultuous emotions welling up inside him. With a teasing glint in his peach blossom eyes, he lightly chuckled, “Nan Yan, are you planning to visit me in the hospital?”
“Depends on my schedule. I’ll come see you when I have time.”
Nan Yan glanced at her phone, then added, “It’s getting late now. I should head back. If you need anything, you can find Director Tao. Just tell him I sent you.”
Although Shen Junqing felt a bit disappointed that she was leaving so soon, it was already past ten o’clock in the evening. He hastily responded, “Alright, you should head back. Third Brother has some caregivers here, so I’ll be fine.”
Nan Yan nodded and turned to leave the hospital room.
Shen Junqing watched her departure with a distracted gaze, a hint of uncontrollable emotion welling up in his eyes…
“Miss Nan Yan, you’ve finally returned.”
Tian Yi hadn’t slept, and upon seeing Nan Yan return, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing someone waiting specifically for her made Nan Yan feel a bit guilty.
“Uncle Tian, you don’t have to wait for me next time. I won’t be in any danger.”
“It’s alright, I don’t usually sleep early. As a young lady out alone, I can’t help but worry until I see you back.”
Nan Yan pursed her lips. “Next time, I’ll try not to come back so late.”
Tian Yi smiled and replied, “Sure, Miss Nan Yan. Get some rest now, you still have to go to school tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
The next day, while Nan Yan was at school, she received a call from the Dark Realm courier.
The medicinal herbs had arrived.
She couldn’t keep him waiting for too long, so Nan Yan had to ask her homeroom teacher for permission to leave.
The homeroom teacher looked at her kindly. “How long will you be gone?” Nan Yan thought for a moment. “At most an hour. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay, go ahead. If something comes up and you can’t return in time, just let me know.”
“Thank you, Teacher.”
With the leave slip in hand, Nan Yan left the office.
The other teachers in the office chuckled, “Miss Yu really spoils her.”
Teacher Yu smiled helplessly. “There’s nothing I can do. Her circumstances are quite pitiful. It’s hard not to want to treat her better.”
“That’s true, but she’s really talented. She excels in her studies and has strong computer skills. I bet she’ll surprise us during the college entrance exams.”
“Yeah, let’s hope so…”
“Excuse me, are you Diving Fish?”
The handsome Dark Realm courier asked politely.
“Yes, that’s me.” Nan Yan nodded calmly. “Are all the medicinal herbs here?”
“They are. However, one of the herbs doesn’t match your specifications in terms of its age, so the seller compensated you with a 300-year-old ginseng.” “I hope our esteemed member won’t give the seller a bad review.”
Nan Yan smirked. “A 300-year-old ginseng is worth more than the herbs I requested. Please thank the seller for me.”
“If you’re not bothered, then that’s great. Please sign for the package.” The courier placed the securely wrapped package in front of Nan Yan.
After signing, the courier handed her a phone. “Could you please give me a five-star review? I’m being evaluated right now, and your positive feedback means a lot to me-
Nan Yan:
What were those two guys up to now, creating all sorts of odd procedures?
With an expressionless face, she gave him a five-star review. The courier flashed her a smile and waved goodbye, then drove away in a sleek black modified car.
“Miss Nan, please get in the car!”
Wu Yue lowered the car window with a pleasant expression.
Peering into the car, Nan Yan noticed a man sitting in the back seat. She decided to put her phone back in her pocket.
Holding the package, she struggled with opening the car door, when suddenly, the door was pushed open from inside.
With a slight downward tilt of her gaze, she met the cold, indifferent eyes of the man inside the car.
“Brother…”
Naturally, Qin Lu extended his hand to take the package from her. “Come in.” Nan Yan got into the car and closed the door behind her.
Wu Yue, who was driving, asked with a fawning tone, “Miss Nan, where are you headed?”
Regardless of where she was going, with the Young Master’s attitude, he would escort her there!
Nan Yan replied, “To the old mansion.”
Wu Yue acknowledged and drove them towards the An Family’s old mansion.
Qin Lu placed the package on the seat next to him.
Since the package was rather large, it occupied the space meant for a person.
Thus, Nan Yan and Qin Lu were sitting closer to each other than usual.
Almost her entire body was enveloped in his aura.
Qin Lu casually looked at the young lady. “Nan Yan, it seems to be school hours now.”
Nan Yan blinked and explained, “I took leave to come and get this package.”
“Brother, where are you headed?”
His sudden appearance made Nan Yan feel as if it were too much of a coincidence.
If she hadn’t known that he wasn’t this idle, she would’ve suspected he deliberately arranged it.
Qin Lu said casually, “Meeting with a business partner.”
After Nan Yan moved to the old mansion yesterday, he had returned to Lantis Hotel. Hence, he was on this route.
Otherwise, how could they have encountered each other so conveniently? “Sending me back to the mansion won’t affect your schedule?”
“No.” Qin Lu chuckled softly and changed the topic. “How’s Grandfather’s condition?”
“With me here, Grandfather will be fine.” Nan Yan’s tone was indifferent, but it couldn’t mask her pride.
She had the ability.
Moreover, she didn’t need to be modest in front of Qin Lu.
Qin Lu couldn’t help but chuckle, pinching her cheek playfully. “Little one, why are you so amazing?”
Nan Yan sighed and looked at him helplessly. “Brother, can we discuss this?
Can you please stop patting my head and pinching my cheek?”
“But this is my pleasure. Are you going to be so heartless, depriving me of my only joy?”
Nan Yan:
This scenario seemed a bit off!
Qin Lu looked at the little lass, a faintly displeased expression on his face. He lowered his voice and asked, “You really don’t like it?”
“If Nan Yan dislikes it, then Brother will try to restrain himself.”
His voice held an inexplicable indulgence and amusement, and as he spoke, he leaned closer to her, lowering his body slightly towards her side. Nan Yan felt her heart race, almost as if he was casting some sort of enchantment on her….
