“Sun Jiyan is the one who’s busy with the Heart Hall now. I’m only responsible for treating Jiaojiao. As for taking care of this girl, why didn’t you tell Jiyan just now?”
Zhao Zhan was stumped for a moment.
What could he say?
He couldn’t say that he thought Sun Jiyan was up to no good and that he was afraid that he’ll use his request to get along with his lover.
Although he knew that the result would be the same if he asked Doctor Sun for help, he was not happy to let Sun Jiyan have the right to take care of his sweetheart.
Seeing his serious expression, Doctor Sun did not give him any chance and laughed out loud. He put down the medicinal ingredients in his hand and stood in front of Zhao Zhan with his hands behind his back. “Are you worried that the Jiyan kid will steal your beloved?”
His words were so direct that Zhao Zhan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
“Alright, I’ll agree to your request. I’ll personally take care of Jiaojiao.” Doctor Sun nodded in reply. Then, he changed the topic and said, “However, as for what Jiyan will do after he finds out that you’ve left, I’m not responsible for helping you in such a matter. No matter what, you’re only Jiaojiao’s husband, while Jiyan is my disciple.”
“I’m already very grateful that you’ve promised to take care of Jiaojiao for me.”
“You’re an interesting fellow, you know that?” Doctor Sun felt that Zhao Zhan’s personality was boring, but he found it interesting to tease him. “Look at you, still standing there. Is there anything else you need?”
“I don’t know if you know where Jiaojiao’s home is in Yang City. I’m planning to go find that. Do you have any clues?”
“I don’t know.” Doctor Sun shook his head decisively.
“Back then, only Jiaojiao’s mother came to us to seek medical advice. Although she came more frequently, I never asked about her background. I only called her Madam Yan.
“You can ask around in Yang City. I think that no matter if it’s a family with the surname Nie or Yue, it shouldn’t be a very common surname.”
“Thank you for your advice, I understand.”
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can go back. Jiaojiao has someone looking after her. What’s there to worry about?” Doctor Sun waved his hand and sat back down to arrange his medicinal herbs. “Oh right, remember to bring me some famous butterfly cakes from Yang City when you come back. Madam Yan brought them to me a few times back then. It has an unforgettable taste.”
“I’ll remember it. I’ll definitely bring it back for you.”
“Be careful on the road, don’t break this my butterfly cake.”
Zhao Zhan laughed and nodded.
He always felt that if Doctor Sun and Fang Tianliu got to know each other, they would have gotten along well if it was about food.
As Zhao Zhan thought about it, he immediately turned to the kitchen.
Some time ago, his lover had gotten tired of eating the desserts in Wangshan Town and told him about a few kinds of desserts that he had never heard of. Zhao Zhan later tried to figure it out himself and made her red bean cake.
Although he didn’t manage to figure out the cream cake that she was talking about, she still liked the cake he made very much.
Since Doctor Sun liked to eat such sweet food, Zhao Zhan decided to make two plates of it as thanks for taking care of Yue Jiaojiao. He asked the medicine boy to give one to Doctor Sun, and he brought the other plate back to his room.
In the room, his woman was lazily leaning on the chair. Zhao Zhan walked over and placed the pastries on the table beside her. Then, he affectionately wrung a warm handkerchief and wiped her hands.
