Chapter 298: Don't Drink Cold Beverages at Night

Pei Dongshi sneered coldly, “You really do have a lot of clueless kids in your family.”

The homeowner’s face fell, and, trying to assert his authority as an employer, he was about to put them in their place when he saw Pei Dongshi tear up the prescription.

“What are you doing!”

Pei Dongshi, expressionless, “I’ll return the consultation fee in full.

Consider this a free charitable consultation out of pity for your Old Lady.

As for what you’ll do next, you all can figure it out on your own.”

The homeowner was anxious.

They had visited so many hospitals and seen so many doctors, the best result being a vegetative state.

The phrase they heard most often was ‘take good care of her, and when she’ll wake up is up to fate.’ They had no other choice but to spend a fortune to seek help from Medicine King Valley, only to find that Pei Dong wouldn’t treat her, instead sending out an unknown disciple.

What’s wrong with them having a bit of an attitude?

But when that little disciple’s few needles really brought the Old Lady back, they had to admit reluctance.

They couldn’t bring themselves to apologize, and only when they had angered the other party did they realize their mistake, worrying about being blacklisted by Medicine King Valley.

“Let’s talk this over, you can’t just walk away from your responsibilities like this.”

Pei Dongshi, pointing at the homeowner’s nose, rebuked, “Shut up.”

A group of people were so frightened by him that they didn’t dare to make a sound.

Pei Dongshi left with Nan Jiaojiao, pocketing the torn-up prescription, leaving not even a tiny piece behind.

When they chased after them, all they saw was a car’s shadow.

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at the rearview mirror, “I didn’t get upset, so what are you getting so worked up about?”

“Where didn’t you get upset?

It’s unacceptable for them to even give you a dirty look.

I won’t let anyone from Medicine King Valley be treated like that,” he said.

Pei Dongshi was always protective, especially of Nan Jiaojiao.

Shen Shichu was the only exception he could tolerate, but even because of that jerk, he refrained from seeing Nan Jiaojiao for a long time, out of sight, out of mind.

“Alright then, I’ve done my duty.”

As a medical practitioner, he had done right by his patient.

Nan Jiaojiao looked out the window, “Does that mean we can go back early?”

“Wishful thinking.

Come to the company tomorrow, I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance in the morning.

Don’t you dare run away,” he threatened.

Nan Jiaojiao sighed faintly, “I keep telling you, employing child labor is illegal, and you’re still exploiting child labor.

You have no shame.”

Pei Dongshi rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with her and yet couldn’t help hitting back, “You count as child labor with that bird nose of yours!?”

She chuckled lightly, resting her elbow on the window sill and watching the scenery retreat outside, quiet for a moment before mumbling timidly, “I’m hungry.”

Pei Dongshi: “…”

He felt like he was babysitting, responsible for feeding, housing, and entertaining.

His patience lasted only until dinner was over.

After Nan Jiaojiao took a bath, she took a cup of milk tea she had bought from a shop in the afternoon out of the fridge.

With her hair still wet, she threw a towel over her shoulders to soak up the water.

She placed two cushions from the balcony together to rest her hands, leaned back against a lounge chair, and hung her feet on a netted swing chair, looking up at the sky.

Bo Yanching sent a message right on time.

[I guess what I’ve been thinking will come true.]

Nan Jiaojiao was silent for a while, then remembered his words at the airport.

Is it that once she returns, she’ll have her answer?

She told him, “Guess.”

Nan Jiaojiao was contemplating how to reply to him when she accidentally opened the input key.

In her surprise, Bo Yanching’s side already showed “typing”: “It’s late, sleep early.

Don’t drink cold stuff at night.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked down at her milk tea, and in just a few minutes, a fine layer of condensation had formed on the side of the cup.

She pressed her fingers to the cup, and her body temperature quickly cooled.
