Chapter 196 A Warm Feeling

"Xinying, you're tired too. Go get some rest," Wen Yuan whispered, his tone etched with concern. He understood that the night was already deep, and his weary body needed rest to face the challenges ahead. He channeled his inner strength into his voice, ensuring only Feng Xinying could hear, fearing Gu Yichen, who wasn't far away, would notice.

Feng Xinying turned around and looked at Gu Yichen not far away, a hint of understanding and tenderness in her eyes. "Okay, you should rest a little more too, you have dark circles under your eyes." She smiled slightly, and when she turned around, her elegant back seemed to carry a breeze as she walked towards the prefect's residence.

After seeing off the Prince of Zhennan and the Imperial Envoy outside the city, Gu Yichen and Wen Yuan returned to the dilapidated temple where the antidote had been distributed, silently pondering their previous arrangements. Inside the medical tent, the Jiuyou Medical Sect's Master Jiuming and Elder Changfeng led their disciples in distributing the antidote to the final batch of plague patients. Mo Dongze and the Nanyang Prefecture's doctors were busy at work, while even the Feng Family Army garrison soldiers were being checked to ensure they had not been infected by the plague.

"Yichen, I want to discuss something with you." Wen Yuan walked shoulder to shoulder with Gu Yichen, his eyes sweeping around, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Prefect Wen, please speak." Gu Yichen said in a serious tone, ready to listen to his friend's request.

"We are good brothers who are friends of life and death. Don't use such polite words to talk to me." Wen Yuan pretended to be angry, but the smile on the corner of his mouth betrayed the warmth in his heart.

"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. I'd like to ask you to help me manage Nanyang Prefecture temporarily. After I have sorted out things, you can go back to Taoyuan Villa freely." There was a hint of urgency and expectation in Wen Yuan's voice, as if he was preparing for the coming storm.

Gu Yichen was slightly shocked when he heard this, and his face turned serious. "You know, I'm willing to support you, but this is no small matter." He looked back at the medical tent in front of him, knowing that this request carried a lot of responsibility and pressure.

"And the Wantong Bank and Wantong Pawnshop you own are key to our cooperation with the Prince of Zhennan," Wen Yuan continued, a determined glint in his eyes. "I've already invited Feng Jingsu, the third son of the Prince of Zhennan, who manages the family business. He should arrive in two days. Don't even think about escaping. You're now officially my staff member. I'll issue a letter of appointment, granting you unimpeded access to the government office and other locations."

There was a hint of relief in Wen Yuan's eyes. Although they faced unknown challenges, this trust and unity made him feel extremely at ease.

Gu Yichen looked at his friend's determined gaze, and his heart was gradually infected by this belief. "Okay, I'm willing to try." He nodded slightly, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

The two walked side by side towards the medical tent. The busy figures around them were particularly warm in the afterglow of the evening, as if foreshadowing a bright future.

Gu Yichen hurried back to the Jishitang Clinic, his heart still etched in his mind as he thought of Lu Ling'er. Since the couple had begun their busy work developing the antidote and treating the epidemic, they had long since left the prefectural residence and moved back to their own place for more convenience. As he reached the backyard, he quickened his pace, thinking to himself that Lu Ling'er should be resting in the side room.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Ling'er lying on the bed, her belly bulging, even her breathing seemed cautious. Gu Yichen's heart was instantly filled with tenderness, and a doting smile appeared on his face. At that moment, time seemed to stop at this moment, and the whole world was filled with only her peace and beauty.

"Ah, my husband, why didn't you wake me?" Lu Linger drowsily opened her eyes and saw Gu Yichen sitting on the couch, holding one of her medical books in his hands. His focused expression warmed her heart. The pictures in the book were like her heart, gentle and beautiful. Especially during her pregnancy, Lu Linger's admiration for Gu Yichen became even stronger. She couldn't help but think: If she weren't pregnant, she might have turned into a pervert.

Gu Yichen gently put down his book and walked to the bedside, his eyes filled with concern and tenderness. He leaned over and gently pulled Lu Ling'er up, whispering, "It's okay. You've been busy developing the antidote and treating patients this month. You really should rest more. You're already five months pregnant. Don't be so stubborn. Just stay here." The gentleness and care in his tone warmed Lu Ling'er's heart, and she felt hopeful for the future.

Lu Linger smiled slightly, a blush on her face: "You always put me first in everything and always care about me like this, how can I bear not to try my best to help you?" She tried hard to suppress the sweetness surging in her heart, but the dependence and trust in her eyes could not be concealed.

Gu Yichen's smile softened as he gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, as if he could feel the life force of their future child. He whispered, "As long as you are healthy and happy, that is my greatest wish."

At this moment, the sunlight shines through the curtains onto the two of them, and the whole room is filled with a warm atmosphere, as if time has stopped, and the hustle and bustle of the world has nothing to do with them, only this tranquility and warmth.
