Xiao Mingyang didn't know if his tone had frightened Lin Yuqing, causing her to speak cautiously. He brushed her face with a distressed look, and when he was about to say something, the car had already pulled into the clinic.

Zhen Zhen was learning how to combine herbs, and when she heard her parents were coming to visit her, she jumped for joy. But just as she was about to run out, she suddenly remembered Wan Hui was still there. She looked up at him and asked pitifully, "Master, can I go see my parents while I rest?"

"Of course," Wan Hui seemed to be in a good mood today. Facing Zhenzhen's request, Wan Hui responded, "You've made rapid progress in your studies today. Consider this a reward for you and let's end the get out of class early."

"yeah!"

Zhenzhen cheered, as happy as a little bird, stood up and ran out. Looking at Zhenzhen's back, Wanhui's eyes were full of love.

Lin Yuqing was sitting next to Xiaokui and chatting. When she saw Zhenzhen running towards her, she couldn't help but smile, bent down, and opened her arms to catch her baby daughter.

"Mommy!"

Picking up Zhenzhen and placing her on her lap, Lin Yuqing said with a smile, "Did you study hard today, Zhenzhen?"

"Yes, Master just praised me. Because of my good performance, he allowed me to leave get out of class early!"

"Really?" Lin Yuqing tapped Zhenzhen's nose and smiled, "My precious daughter is so outstanding. Mommy is proud of you!"

She snuggled happily in Lin Yuqing's arms, her eyes curved with smiles.

Looking at the mother and daughter snuggling together happily, Xiaokui couldn't help but think of Da Zhong, and her expression gradually became gloomy.

Just as Xiao Kui was filled with worry, Wan Hui walked into the hall and smiled at Xiao Mingyang and Lin Yuqing, "What brings you both here today?"

Xiao Mingyang was still the same as usual, and didn't seem to want to bother with Wan Hui. However, Lin Yuqing greeted Wan Hui in a graceful and generous manner.

"Doctor Wan has taken the trouble to raise our daughter. Mingyang and I have never thanked you properly. How rude! How about this? When you have time, we will host you and your apprentice for dinner at our home. How about that?"

Xiao Mingyang had some objections to this suggestion, but before he could say anything, Wan Hui agreed first.

"If it's not too much trouble, thank you very much."

Xiao Mingyang frowned slightly, certain that Wan Hui was doing this on purpose! Didn't he know what courtesy meant? He had indeed put in a lot of effort for Zhen Zhen, but he had already bought a lot of medicinal herbs and advanced equipment for their clinic, which was considered a courtesy. Why didn't he know how to be satisfied and insisted on getting involved with him!?

Lin Yuqing was very happy that Wan Hui had accepted her invitation and said with a smile, "It's settled then. We'll send a car to pick you up then."

"No need, I know where you live, just go there yourself when the time comes."

After hearing Wan Hui's words, Lin Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then thought that Wan Hui heard the news from Zhenzhen, so she didn't take it to heart.

After chatting with Wan Hui for a few more words, Lin Yuqing noticed that Xiao Mingyang remained silent. The air around him was so low that it made people want to shiver. So she secretly pushed Xiao Mingyang and said with a low laugh, "We are here to thank them. What's the matter with you having such a stern face?"

Xiao Mingyang really wanted to say that he never asked Wan Hui for any help, that everything was his own free will. However, Xiao Mingyang was worried that Lin Yuqing would get mad if he said that, so he turned his head and said in a deep voice, "I hate this kind of thank-you situation, and it's not suitable to stay here. I'm going to take Zhenzhen out for some fresh air first."

As he said that, Xiao Mingyang picked up Zhenzhen and strode out.

Xiao Mingyang's departure allowed Xiao Kui to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and her breathing finally returned to normal, no longer restricted by Xiao Mingyang's low mood.

Because Xiao Mingyang was not present, Lin Yuqing could speak her mind. She put her hand on Xiao Kui's and said sincerely:

"I feel really bad for sending Da Zhong into this dangerous situation for us. I wonder how he's been doing lately. Did Xiao Jincheng give him any trouble?"

Xiao Kui didn't quite understand all this. She touched her hair, turned around and looked at Wan Hui, expressing her helplessness with her eyes.

Taking a sip of tea, Wan Hui said calmly, "Curing illnesses and saving lives is the duty of us doctors. Da Zhong is just using a different method. You don't have to take it to heart."

Although Wan Hui said this, Lin Yuqing still blamed herself and said, "If I had noticed the abnormality around me earlier, maybe I could have protected Xuan'er and avoided what happened today. Alas, because of my negligence, I have implicated everyone. I am so sorry."

Wan Hui glanced at Lin Yuqing, then said soothingly, "The other party is treacherous and hard to guard against. Besides, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You don't need to take all the blame on yourself. It's not fair to you."

Although Wan Hui always looks serious, when he comforts people, he can make them feel convinced, and unknowingly, they can let down their guard and open their hearts.

After chatting with Wan Hui and Xiao Kui for a while, Lin Yuqing saw that Xiao Mingyang had no intention of coming in, so she stood up and said goodbye to Wan Hui, planning to go home with Zhenzhen and Xiao Mingyang.

Seeing that Lin Yuqing was about to leave, Wan Hui personally sent her to the door and saw Xiao Mingyang swinging on the swing with Zhenzhen.

At this moment, Xiao Mingyang looked calm, with a faint smile on his handsome face. His eyes were looking at Zhenzhen, full of love.

When Xiao Mingyang noticed someone coming over, his expression turned cold. When he found Wan Hui also standing there, his eyes were full of scrutiny.

Lin Yuqing was puzzled. Why did Xiao Mingyang always have a stern face when he saw Wan Hui? His expression just now was so kind!

After coughing lightly, Lin Yuqing took a few steps forward, clapped her hands at Zhenzhen, and said, "Baby, we're going home. Let's say goodbye to Grandpa Wan and Xiaokui."

Hearing this, Zhenzhen happily ran into Lin Yuqing's arms, looked up, waved goodbye to Wan Hui and Xiao Kui.

Wan Hui told Zhenzhen to go back and recite the medicine formula carefully, then patted her head lovingly. He and Xiaokui stood at the door and watched the family leave.

Secretly observing Wan Hui's expression, Xiao Kui noticed something strange in her Master's eyes, as if he was reluctant to leave. But she had been with her Master for so many years, and she had never seen him show any reluctance towards anyone. She had only known Xiao Mingyang and Lin Yuqing for a short time, so why was he so filled with love and reluctance, like family members they hadn't seen in a while?

Just as Xiao Kui was lost in thought, Wan Hui said, "Go back and clean the hall."

Xiao Kui secretly stuck out her tongue and thought to herself that her master's attitude changed too quickly. He was so warm and friendly to Xiao Mingyang's family just now, so why did he become so cold when facing her?
