"Good." Yan Aohan nodded. "In a couple of days, I will take you to a quieter place."
"Mhm. Fewer people would be best." It was better to avoid contact with different kinds of beings.
Yan Aohan naturally agreed to this condition. "Grandpa’s eyes had two layers of bandages removed today, right?"
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Grandpa is recovering amazingly. Of course, the main reason is that the medicine I used for him is also very good."
"I heard you are performing surgery on Laura tomorrow," Yan Aohan said.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Yes. This week, I have surgeries tomorrow and on Friday. Do the others need surgery right now?" This was why Zhu Yanyi planned to finish all the surgeries first, then apply medicine together, to heal people sooner and help them recover health faster.
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi’s serious expression. "Ani, are you worried about something lately?"
Zhu Yanyi put away the seeds, then went into Yan Aohan’s arms, hugging his waist and burying her head in his chest. "I don’t want you to go. I can’t bear to part with you."
Yan Aohan was stunned for a moment, then hugged Zhu Yanyi back. "Silly girl, I am not leaving forever. I am just going to do some things. I will come back when they are done. Don’t worry. I can’t bear to leave you alone here either."
Zhu Yanyi mumbled an agreement, then looked up at Yan Aohan. "I just can’t bear to part with you."
"I can’t bear to part with you either," Yan Aohan sighed lightly. "Before you were by my side, I didn’t feel much. I always thought life was just like this, silently passing by. Later, after meeting you and confirming your place in my heart, I knew I had someone to care about."
Yan Aohan patted Zhu Yanyi’s back. "Many people say that having someone to care about might mean having a weakness. But I don’t think so. I believe that having someone to care about gives me everything I want to protect. Especially after knowing you are my destined one, I am actually very grateful to Heaven."
Zhu Yanyi felt a bit shy from Yan Aohan’s words. "Actually, I am not as good as you say. But…"
Zhu Yanyi let go of her arms around Yan Aohan’s waist and changed to holding his hand. "But, I found that after having you in my heart, life suddenly feels much richer. Sharing happiness in life with someone is a very happy thing."
"Me too." Yan Aohan’s face was full of joy. Because of their busyness, they had not deeply confessed to each other like this for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi’s face also showed joy. "I have surgery tomorrow morning. In the evening, I have an appointment with Fifth Senior Brother’s father-in-law’s family. Both families’ relatives will meet."
"First Senior Brother said it is rare for Fifth Senior Brother to get married. Uh, I should say, to take a wife. Actually, we all think it is better for Fifth Senior Brother to marry out. He is too annoying at home."
Zhu Yanyi complained briefly but continued. "First Senior Brother said it is rare for Fifth Senior Brother to take a wife, so we senior brothers and sisters in the capital must give her some face. You come with me tomorrow too. You are my family member."
"Good." Yan Aohan naturally had no objections.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. "Now Fifth Senior Brother is getting married too. It is a pity that Grandpa Yao has not returned yet. If Grandpa Yao were here, it would be great." Her tone was a bit lonely. She missed Old Yao.
Yan Aohan nodded. "Everyone’s fate has a path to follow. This is Grandpa Yao’s fate path. I believe we will find Grandpa Yao one day."
The next day, Zhu Yanyi brought Luoyang Jun and two other doctors to perform surgery on Laura. Except for Luoyang Jun, the other two did not belong to the Capital Hospital. However, Zhu Yanyi actively brought them to watch her perform such an important surgery to improve their clinical experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine surgery. Therefore, they studied very seriously.
For Zhu Yanyi, Laura’s surgery was not particularly difficult. The main issue was that there were many broken bones. She needed to find the broken pieces and splice them together, then set up medicine arrays. It just took a bit longer. The precision was a heaven-and-earth difference compared to Zhu Xinfu’s surgery.
So the surgery went very smoothly. As Zhu Yanyi predicted, it took about eight hours, and she left the operating room on time.
This surgery greatly touched Luoyang Jun and the other three doctors. They felt the power of Traditional Chinese Medicine surgery. They really wanted to observe such surgeries more times. However, they knew this opportunity would not be frequent. After all, there were not too many doctors in the Capital Hospital. If they lined up, they would have to wait for a long time.
After finishing the surgery and giving medical orders, Zhu Yanyi returned to her practice chamber, tidied up, changed clothes, and went out with Yan Aohan to attend the meeting between Dong Bocao and Lu Ying’s families.
"Professor Lu, my Fifth Junior Brother had no parents since childhood. He was raised by my master. Actually, among the six of us senior brothers and sisters, except for the youngest junior sister, all are orphans. Our master saved them from disasters in various places and took them as disciples. Now that our master has retired and cannot come out, I, as the eldest senior brother, represent our master to meet Professor Lu’s family. Please do not blame us," Gu Jingtian said to Professor Lu, who was Lu Ying’s father.
Professor Lu was a professor at a second-tier university in the Capital. She could not accept that Lu Ying found a man more than ten years older than her. However, after meeting Dong Bocao in person, she agreed. The main reason was that they knew Dong Bocao was Old Yao’s disciple, meaning she was a senior brother to the Little Divine Doctor Zhu Yanyi.
Professor Lu was not too proud. Being able to have some connection with the Little Divine Doctor, he naturally did not mind the age difference. Besides, his daughter liked this man, so he could not refuse anymore.
"Where, where. Bocao is a good child. He is quite filial to us too," Professor Lu said quickly.
Gu Jingtian glanced at Dong Bocao. He never expected him to be filial. It was really unexpected. Of course, Gu Jingtian would not say this at this moment. It was better to joke with senior brothers and sisters privately.
Gu Jingtian saw that Professor Lu’s family had a good impression of Dong Bocao. Although there was some calculation, human interaction was like this, so he did not mind. He only said:
"Since that is the case, why don’t our two families talk properly about the two children’s matters? You know, my junior brother is not young. Since he was twenty, my master urged him to find a partner. He always refused. I never expected his marriage fate to be with your daughter. I am not beating around the bush. My junior brother is not young anymore. I think we should engage them first, settle the matter, and then choose a date three months from now for the wedding. What do you think?"
