Paranoid Doctor Only Loves Me

Chapter 455: 422 was clearly his calculation (2nd update)

Lu Han was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement to Su Ruoan’s serious emphasis on their current roles in the conversation. "Okay, Mom, go ahead and say whatever you need to."

Although Su Ruoan claimed their current relationship was that of senior and junior within an academic context, Lu Han, having married Tang Su, couldn’t possibly see his mother-in-law as a senior anymore.

"Alright, then I’ll just say it directly."

"Okay," Lu Han put down his chopsticks, ready to listen attentively.

Su Ruoan, seeing how serious Lu Han was taking this, felt a bit embarrassed to begin.

"It’s okay, let’s be a bit more relaxed. There’s no need to be so formal, alright?" Su Ruoan also found it hard to start speaking, especially since he and Tang Su had only just registered their marriage.

The newlyweds were still in their honeymoon phase, yet they were being forced to separate.

"This is the thing, before I talk about this, I want to ask you a question, Ha. Do you and Tang Su plan to have children? Like, in the near term?"

"That’s up to Tang Su. If she wants us to have children, I’m on board. If she temporarily doesn’t want to become a mother, I’m fine with that too. I can go consult about the best contraceptive methods for men, see which one I should use."

Su Ruoan: "..."

Isn’t it said that her beloved daughter has stepped in dog poop luck?

Such an outstanding man, hard to find even with a lantern, and she just got him like that?

No wonder there are so many pursuers around Lu Han. Hasn’t Jiang Shanshan been secretly in love with Lu Han for a very long time?

The type of man Tang Su has, she should really treasure. Otherwise, other women would definitely wait eagerly for her to drive him away so they could pick him up.

"Lu Han, you are this," Su Ruoan gave a thumbs up, "On behalf of Tang Su, I thank you. Having a husband like you, who’s so considerate of her, if Tang Su dares to do you wrong in this lifetime, I’ll be the first one not to let her off."

These words were Su Ruoan’s heartfelt truth.

During this passionately in love, intense period, talking about betrayal is naturally impossible, but Su Ruoan cannot guarantee this over decades of marriage life when the passion fades, and new temptations arise.

Only when love elevates to a level where familial affection coexists with romantic love, can a marriage be considered stable.

However, the time needed for each couple to reach this point varies.

"Thank you, Mom. I believe Tang Su won’t do me wrong, and I feel the same."

"Very good, very good. If your affection for each other continues to be this strong, not only am I happy, I’m also relieved. The thing is, a while ago, I brought up a matter with my mentor. We thought that if we could apply the art of acupuncture to our otolaryngology practice, it might help a lot of patients to reduce the suffering of surgery."

"A few years ago, a young man named Gao Shenghan wrote an excellent paper on the combination of acupuncture and Western medicine to treat various complex diseases and reduce surgeries. I still keep that paper, and I’ll show it to you later."

"However, over these past few years, this young man named Gao Shenghan, for some reason, has just disappeared without a trace. My teacher and I think that we could actually set up a team to continue these kinds of clinical experiments."

"My teacher just happens to know the closed disciple of the great acupuncture master, Master Cheng. The requirements for accepting disciples from that master are very strict. Both my teacher and I are impressed with you. After the new year, it is heard that this closed disciple will return to the country. At that time, could you meet with them, is that okay?"

Lu Han nodded, "Okay."

This genuinely startled him. He thought the matter Su Ruoan wanted to discuss with him was to immediately seek out Master Cheng’s closed disciple to acknowledge him as a mentor.

So it was for after the new year.

Did his mother-in-law and her teacher fear he would refuse?

Indeed, he was rather reluctant to agree. Isn’t it more enjoyable to embrace his wife every day and be with her all the time?

He knew that once he chose to be a doctor, he should help the dying and the injured.

But this is just like the rationale that one cannot earn all the money in the world; one person can’t treat all the patients in the world, either.

Actually, developing one person is far less effective than developing an entire medical team.

However, Master Cheng’s closed-door head disciple has a rather stubborn temperament, and moreover, treating patients also depends on fate.

Lu Han knows him, the complex and difficult disease that Long Siyan suffered from was cured by him.

Because of this, he still owes that man a favor, and if that person really wants him to become his apprentice to repay this favor, he truly has no way to refuse.

Now, adding in his teacher and mother-in-law.

Thinking that after the new year, that eccentric person with the strange temperament would return to the country, Lu Han’s heart cools a great deal, does Heaven really envy him leading a good life?

How long has he and Tang Su been married?

And they have to separate?

That’s too much.

"Teacher said he didn’t dare to tell you, afraid you would argue, but aren’t you agreeing just fine? Lu Han, I thank you on behalf of the patients," Su Ruoan became increasingly satisfied with Lu Han.

It’s not just the mother-in-law thing where the more she watches her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes.

There’s also the joy and comfort of knowing that with Lu Han here, in the near future, a large number of patients who otherwise would need surgery might not need it at all, and could be saved just by having Lu Han insert a few needles.

In the future, the remarkable doctor who would be praised by ordinary people would be her daughter’s husband, would be her, Su Ruoan’s, son-in-law... Well...

Clicking her tongue, it feels just too wonderful.

"Mom, no need to thank me, actually, a few years back, someone proposed integrating acupuncture into Western medicine, but professionals pointed out it was immature, these two years, our system being able to bring up acupuncture again is a good thing, and as a member of the system, if I can contribute my part, I’m willing to."

"Mhm, mom is willing too, it’s just that they don’t fancy me, they specifically want a group of young people, besides you, other hospitals might have a few young people with outstanding abilities who will go with you."

"This time, it really is urgent, I’ve heard, after the new year, we will set off."

"...Mhm."

Lu Han agreed reluctantly, thinking that after the new year, he would be forced to leave Tang Su, his heart was not quite at ease.

"Then eat quickly, I’ll reply to the teacher in a bit, he will be extremely happy to know you’ve agreed."

"..."

Lu Han didn’t speak, letting Su Ruoan tell him about this matter was clearly a scheme against him.

Now, the scheme has succeeded, how could his teacher not be happy?

He’s an old fox.

Forget it, even if the teacher didn’t scheme against him, he had actually thought about this matter himself.

Besides, the path of medicine is endless in learning.

He has been stagnant for several years now, it’s time to learn some more skills.

"Lu Han, are you worried about how to explain it to Tang Su?"

"Hmm?"

"Don’t worry, I will talk to Tang Su for you. My daughter might not be great at many things, but she has this one merit – as long as it’s the right thing to do, she will understand and give you her utmost support."

"I know, mom, I’ll talk to her myself, don’t tell her first."

"All right, you two sort it out between yourselves."

"Mhm."
