Chapter 510: 505 Dad, has the Chinese medicine practitioner come to our house? _1

Gu Chen was not a lazy person, so how could he possibly leave the herbal medicine pot unwashed on purpose.

It was because the pot simply didn’t need to be washed, and Gu Chen even felt that if it was continuously used and left unwashed, the medicinal effects of the herbs might become even stronger.

When Ji Pianran heard what Gu Chen said, her face showed a bit of embarrassment. She honestly didn’t know about this; she just had a mindset of wanting to help joyfully, which was why she was tidying up these pots.

"Husband, I’m really sorry, I truly didn’t know. So, what should we do now?" Ji Pianran felt apologetic and was also very curious as she asked Gu Chen.

"Forget it, just don’t wash it in the future, it’s really not a big deal," Gu Chen said to Ji Pianran.

After Ji Pianran understood, she nodded and didn’t say any more unnecessary words.

She knew she had caused Gu Chen a little bit of trouble again.

But at that moment, Tangtang immediately asked curiously at the side, "Daddy, did that old grandfather come to our house again this afternoon?"

Tangtang had seen the herbal medicine pot, which is why she asked Gu Chen this question.

Gu Chen had momentarily forgotten about this little one.

"What old grandfather?" Ji Pianran didn’t understand what the father and daughter were talking about and was utterly confused.

"Husband, did some relative come over to our house?"

"Oh right, Qi Qi was hospitalized with leukemia, wasn’t she? I happened to know an old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, so I visited him this afternoon and had him come over and prepare a big pot of medicine for Qi Qi to take to the hospital.

Wife, you have no idea, this old doctor really knows his stuff. I just described the symptoms to him, and he dared to prescribe medicine without even seeing what Qi Qi looked like. Guess what happened?"

Gu Chen had quite the skill in shifting topics, quickly drawing Ji Pianran’s attention away from the old doctor to Qi Qi’s condition.

"What happened? There weren’t any issues due to drinking it, were there?" Ji Pianran asked worriedly.

"The effects were extremely significant! Right after Qi Qi drank it, new hair started growing back, and her complexion also began to improve bit by bit. Qi Qi’s father was so moved he cried," Gu Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran nodded. She also felt deeply for Qi Qi. After all, the child was about the same age as Tangtang and should have been happily enjoying her childhood instead of going through such an ordeal.

"So which of your relatives is the old doctor of traditional medicine? How come I’ve never heard you mention this before?"

Gu Chen had thought that his few words would make Ji Pianran forget about the lie concerning the old doctor, but not only had she not forgotten, she began to question him further about it.

Suddenly Gu Chen really didn’t know how to answer the question. After all, he couldn’t just say he was the old doctor himself.

Even if Ji Pianran didn’t believe it and kept quiet, Tangtang certainly wouldn’t believe him.

The barrier to entry in traditional Chinese medicine is high, and what he had done in the first half of his life was a mystery to Tangtang. But Ji Pianran knew him like the back of her hand. If he lied, she would surely see through him.

"It’s not really a relative, just an elder I met through a serendipitous connection.

Our Wanglaoji was actually his idea in the first place."

Gu Chen decided to go all in and redirect all questions to the enigmatic and unfathomable old doctor.

"And my coffee, do you know why it tastes so good? It’s because of this old doctor, you know.

This old traditional Chinese doctor really has some serious skills; the day we discussed tea, he practically trounced me.

I suggested using some Western stuff for a change, how about a competition with coffee?

And believe it or not, the old doctor really had the ability. He made such a delicious cup of coffee and then offered to supply me with unlimited coffee beans, so this coffee shop owes a lot to him."

Gu Chen’s decision was made just like that, he even thought that from now on, he could just pin these sorts of things on the old doctor.

As long as he could deceive himself, no one else could see through him.

After hearing all this from Gu Chen, Ji Pianran still had a look of light shock on her face.

She had no idea about any of this and was quite surprised by what Gu Chen said.

"Then this old doctor must be a really nice person, when we have time, we should invite him out for a meal to properly thank him," Ji Pianran said seriously to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen shook his head in response, "The old doctor prefers his solitude; I’ve been there many times and never seen him with any friends or the like, it seems he doesn’t really like strangers.

Let’s forget about the meal. Countless people want to invite him to dine, but the doctor himself doesn’t like to socialize. We shouldn’t trouble him; then how would he dare to interact with us in the future?"

Gu Chen spoke to Ji Pianran with firm conviction.

His words made a lot of sense, and Ji Pianran nodded in complete agreement after hearing them, thinking that Gu Chen was very considerate and reasonable.

"This old traditional doctor is indeed a good man; when we have some free time later, I’ll personally visit to express my thanks.

Also you, your coffee is selling so well, have you not properly thanked him?"

Ji Pianran was filled with gratitude and thanks, as she felt like a stranger was helping her unconditionally.

"Of course, I’ve thanked him, rest assured you don’t need to worry about any of this, your husband’s heart is as clear as a mirror," Gu Chen said, breathing a sigh of relief that he had managed to bluff his way through this matter.

As long as he got through today, things would be much easier in the future.

After all, he would be free to say whatever he wanted then.

When Ji Pianran got home, she hadn’t eaten yet. Gu Chen had prepared a big table full of dishes because Tangtang had not eaten either.

The little guy was in a hurry after school to go see Qi Qi, not feeling very hungry at that time, but now was ravenously hungry, so listless he couldn’t sleep from the hunger.

After the mother and daughter had their fill and went back to sleep, Gu Chen was left alone to tidy up the dishes and utensils.

At that moment, her heart felt even more admiration for the power of the Spiritual Spring, which always brought her unexpected surprises.

In the past, he always worried about what he would do if Ji Pianran or Tangtang fell ill?

But now, it seems he was worrying over nothing. With the Spiritual Spring at hand, not only life changed, but it transformed life itself!

After that night passed and dawn broke the next day, Gu Chen took Tangtang to school and then hurried to the traditional medicine shop, intending to purchase a few more treatments to keep on hand for future use.
