“What?

A hundred dollars?” Xi Ruoyu’s mother couldn’t help but exclaim.

Qin Han looked at Xi Ruoyu’s mother and said with a smile, “The medicinal herbs for preparing the medicinal bath cost only a hundred dollars!”

Xu Bingyan, who was inside the medicine cabinet, softly asked Zhang Yalin, “Yalin, are the medicines in our clinic this cheap?”

“Pssh, that guy is just doing a good deed, always pretending!” Zhang Yalin said indignantly, still not over her resentment toward the mallet.

“………”

After a few brief words, Qin Han lay down on the Taishi Chair and said no more about simplifying the medicine preparation— he hadn’t figured that out yet.

Qin Han seemed calm, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t concerned about it, for after all, it was a major accomplishment.

If he figured it out, it would be much more significant than simply saving a few people.

Time quietly slipped away until Zhang Yalin had prepared all the herbs, breaking the room’s silence.

Xi Ruoyu’s parents were whispering to Xi Ruoyu about Qin Han, practically making him out to be a living Bodhisattva in their words, which made Qin Han blush somewhat.

After all, saving Xi Ruoyu wasn’t done out of self-interest, but Qin Han still had his own considerations.

He had encountered this illness before, although it was somewhat long ago.

This time, he couldn’t help thinking about experimenting on Xi Ruoyu, though, of course, even an experiment in his hands would be far better than in others’!

Listening to her parents’ whispers, Xi Ruoyu kept glancing over at Qin Han, her beautiful eyes carrying an indescribable expression.

This gave Qin Han, who was observing them, a sudden uncomfortable feeling, and he even hesitated to meet Xi Ruoyu’s gaze.

Zhang Yalin’s arrival was timely, saving him from the awkwardness.

Qin Han stood up to check the medicinal liquid for the bath, and after confirming there were no issues, he turned and walked away.

He simply instructed, “Soak for an hour.

No matter how painful it is, you must endure it.

Zhang Yalin will supervise.”

Meanwhile, our young master Zhong had been entangled by someone.

The person holding onto Zhong Yuanliang was none other than the female journalist reporting on Qin Han—Chu Hong!

“What do you want?

Are you sick?” Zhong Yuanliang asked urgently.

This woman couldn’t be hit or scolded, and back at the clinic, someone was waiting for popsicles.

Watching the popsicles in his hand melt away was like asking to be beaten upon returning!

Chu Hong smiled at Zhong Yuanliang and said, “Tell me something about Dr.

Qin, and I’ll let you go.”

Zhong Yuanliang knew her well; although he was ‘highly skilled,’ he never bullied the weak.

As it stood, she had been grinding him down for nearly half an hour, yet aside from his anxious tone, he never looked like he was about to strike.

And the cause of his urgency was Qin Han’s popsicle!

“What can I tell you?

I’m just a gatekeeper!

I don’t know anything!

Please let me go!” After saying this, Zhong Yuanliang seized the opportunity to dash past Chu Hong and hurried toward the clinic.

Upon returning to the clinic, Zhong Yuanliang looked at Qin Han nervously and said, “Mr.

Qin, your ice…

popsicle!”

Qin Han looked at the melted popsicle in Zhong Yuanliang’s hand and casually remarked, “Are they selling ice soup now?”

“No…

no, Mr.

Qin, I was held up just now!” Seeing Qin Han’s expression grow cold, Zhong Yuanliang quickly explained, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Qin Han indeed frowned; anyone who could hold up Zhong Yuanliang was definitely among the top ten in Zhongzhou!

Did Zhong Yuanliang offend someone?

“Who is it?” Qin Han asked calmly.

Zhong Yuanliang replied hastily, “It’s that reporter Chu Hong!

She kept pestering me about your affairs, but I couldn’t hit her or scold her…”

Upon hearing this, Qin Han was momentarily stunned.

He had thought that Zhong Yuanliang was being held up by someone from the martial arts community, but it turned out to be Chu Hong.

This woman, really, she hadn’t sought him out after the last report.

Did she think his temper had improved?

And she even came to the clinic to dig up more news!

Immediately, Qin Han waved his hand and said, “Next time she comes, don’t treat her as a woman, just throw her out!”

“Ah?”

Qin Han, who was accustomed to peace, really didn’t like people bothering him.

For him, the number of people in the clinic was just about right; he desired neither fewer nor more.

Time silently slipped away, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Zhong Yuanliang brought lunch to Qin Han and also took some to Xi Ruoyu’s family, causing Xi Ruoyu’s parents to feel so grateful they didn’t know what to say, only repeatedly murmuring, “This isn’t right, this isn’t right,” which really showed their honest and sincere nature, stirring a fondness in others.

However, in the hearts of the three, they were thinking that the medical fee had only been one hundred, and looking at the lunch, a single meal box would cost at least twenty or so.

For three people, that would be another sixty subtracted…

How could they let the doctor save them and yet lose money?

Just as the two were about to speak, they heard Qin Han say, “Eat!”

“Yuan Liang, you’ll pay for today’s meal!” Qin Han said, looking at Zhong Yuanliang.

This kid—he took him half an hour just to buy an ice pop.

Chu Hong that woman couldn’t be hit, but couldn’t she be avoided?

“Oh,” Zhong Yuanliang said sadly, nodding his head.

As for Qin Han’s exploitation, he could only compromise unconditionally, as he couldn’t beat Qin Han.

But the meager amount Zhong Yuanliang’s grandfather gave him each day was pathetic.

He had to use a credit card even to buy lunch, which cost him over one hundred—thinking about it, Zhong Yuanliang almost felt like dying.

Who would have thought that the once-famous Young Master Zhong, Young Master Zhong who drove an Aston Martin, wouldn’t even have a hundred yuan on him…

Seeing Zhong Yuanliang’s demeanor, Qin Han snorted coldly and then walked inside with his hands behind his back.

The elderly couple had already finished eating and were carefully cleaning up, even wiping the dirtied areas.

They didn’t know how else to express their gratitude to Qin Han, so they did what they could in these small details.

Zhang Yalin and Xi Ruoyu finally came out.

This time was different from last; Xi Ruoyu’s face was much paler than before.

Seeing this scene, the elderly couple’s hearts suddenly tightened.

She had been fine the last time; why had her complexion become so pale again?

In Qin Han’s view, however, there was nothing amiss.

Her paleness was entirely due to enduring pain.

Although her face was pale, Xi Ruoyu was indeed much more spirited, no longer the listless figure she had been before.

“Sit down,” Qin Han instructed Xi Ruoyu, signaling her to place her right hand on the consultation desk.

Xi Ruoyu obeyed and sat in front of Qin Han, extending her snow-white wrist and quietly watching him.

This was her first time observing Qin Han so intently since she’d met him.

Qin Han’s face was very delicate, not startlingly handsome, but he had an ethereal quality that was very pleasing to the eye.

“Not bad,” Qin Han remarked after checking Xi Ruoyu’s pulse and looked up, meeting her gaze.

Xi Ruoyu’s face flushed, and she shyly lowered her head.

But the fleeting affection in her eyes gave Qin Han somewhat of a headache.

“Dear Heavens!

Please don’t…” Qin Han secretly prayed!
