Chapter 1228

Zhu Shunyao looked at Yan Aohan and pointed at him. "To be honest, I should thank Xiao Yan. While I was away, Xiao Yan helped me a lot. That is why I could settle down in the capital so quickly."

"Uncle Shunyao, you are too polite," Yan Aohan said. "When I went to Sicheng Town before, you treated me like your own junior. Now that you are in the capital, you are still my elder. It is only right for me to look after you. Why are you being so formal?" He lifted the peach in his hand. "Look, I don’t even mind eating your food."

"Not being polite is good. Not being polite is good." Zhu Shunyao chuckled. He really liked Yan Aohan’s helpful nature. Then he asked, "By the way, why did you two come together?"

Zhu Yanyi didn’t know how to explain. Yan Aohan spoke up first. "I had a mission in a desert area. I happened to meet Ani traveling there with Luo Gang and others. It turned out a criminal gang was discovered nearby. Luo Gang and her team went to help, so I brought Ani back to the country directly. It was too dangerous for her to stay there."

He sounded so caring. His words were well-chosen. At least, Zhu Shunyao trusted Yan Aohan even more after hearing this.

"That is the right way to do it." Zhu Shunyao nodded quickly. Then she turned to Zhu Yanyi. "You really are something. Why do you always go to dangerous places? Luckily, you met Xiao Yan."

Zhu Yanyi felt wrongly accused. But she couldn’t reveal the truth. She could only laugh dryly. "Actually, I just went traveling to gain experience. I didn’t expect such things to happen. I couldn’t just watch people get bullied, so I let Brother Luo handle it. My skills are actually quite good. They were just worried about me."

"Worried about you? Don’t be silly." Zhu Shunyao tapped Zhu Yanyi’s head. "Why does a girl like you run around blindly?" In her heart, she wondered, Who does this daughter resemble? Even if I were adventurous, I would never go to dangerous places.

Zhu Yanyi nodded quickly, acting like a good child. "I won’t run around. I promise I won’t."

"That is correct." Zhu Shunyao was satisfied with her attitude. Then she asked, "What are your plans now that you are back?"

Zhu Yanyi didn’t hide anything. She explained her plans roughly. "Several patients are waiting for me. I need to treat them first. Then, I plan to go to Wudang Mountain to gather some wild herbs." Seeing Zhu Shunyao look like she wanted to object, she quickly added, "I have already asked Brother Yan to go with me. He will take me, so I will definitely be safe."

Hearing that Yan Aohan would go with her, Zhu Shunyao stayed silent. He only asked, "What about your studies?"

"I plan to take the graduation exam in a few days. I don’t have time to study step by step anymore. As long as I can pass, it doesn’t matter. Besides, Doumiao is even better than me. So, I am not the smartest in our family." Zhu Yanyi mentioned this, thinking of Zhu Zhibin.

Zhu Shunyao didn’t understand this part, so he had no objections. "As long as you can graduate, it is fine. I was just worried your heart would become wild." Then he added, "By the way, after we go back, do not return home for a while. I told your sister and Doumiao not to come back either."

"Did something happen?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.

"What else could it be? It is still about the Zhu family matters." Xie Xinlian came out carrying a plate of food.

"What is wrong with the Zhu family again?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhu Shunyao. It seemed the Zhu family had plenty of trouble.
