Chapter 172: Death Glare
No one would be unhappy to hear that they and their loved ones were close, and Su Yayan was no exception. She smiled faintly as she glanced at Huo Chenhuan with a ‘Don’t need you to tell me’ smug look.
The iciness in Huo Chenhuan’s eyes was greatly reduced after he saw her like that. He was still ignoring Ning Siyuan when he said, “Let’s get down to business.”
The faster they were done with official business, the faster they could leave. He really did not like how these men were ogling at his wife.
Su Yayan recognized the impatience in him and was already planning to finish things up as quickly as possible. She tapped Huo Chenhuan’s shoulder comfortingly and walked to Ning Qirui’s bedside.
“Did you finish everything that I’ve sent you the past two days?”
After seeing Wen Jingping’s true colors, Ning Qirui was clear that he was taken as a fool, and he was wrong about Su Yayan.
That realization made him uncomfortable around Su Yayan, as he tried to speak but nothing came out. After a long while, Ning Siyuan finally stepped in and answered it for him.
“Yes, he ate everything, I have men watching over him and made sure he finished everything and left nothing behind.”
“Oh.” Su Yayan saw how restless Ning Qirui was, and as she recalled the report from the System yesterday, she looked at him mockingly and teased him. “Was it yummy?”
Ning Qirui’s facial expressions grew increasingly unnatural, but Yang Jinyou jumped to his rescue and exclaimed, “Yummy, so yummy! I was beside him when the dishes arrived and the smell… Tsk tsk tsk, a whiff of that could induce a pool full of saliva! Especially that fish…”
Every time Yang Jinyou was reminded of the aroma, he could not help but smile stupidly.
Ning Qirui was upset because he was interrupted. “How did you know it was yummy if you haven’t tried it before?”
“How dare you bring it up?! I thought we were as close as brothers, and I’ve always thought of you every time I see something good. As for you! You refuse to spare me even a mouthful of soup, or a mouthful of fish. Why would I still need a brother like you?”
“Don’t you forget that I’m the patient here! These dishes were made for me! The audacity for you to yell about you fighting a patient for food. How shameless, how shameless!”
“You!”
Su Yayan, “…” Err, did your friendship just break because of a mouthful of food? What are you, frenemies?
After yelling at Yang Jinyou, Ning Qirui felt a chill down his spine. He looked around confused until his gaze met Huo Chenhuan’s emotionless glare.
Ning Qirui, “…” F*ck, what’s his problem? Why did he look like he was about to eat someone alive?
As he was panicking, Su Yayan blatantly chose this time to ask, “So… You thought it wasn’t yummy?”
Ning Qirui was stunned. Immediately, a blush crept onto his face as he reluctantly replied, “… It’s yummy.”
“Since you’re so cooperative, let’s continue with our treatment. Old rules still stand, only a few allowed in here, and there should be no interruptions from anyone.”
“Don’t worry, the only people left on this floor are our people, there will be no interruptions.”
“That’s good.”
Although Yang Jinyou was pre-warned before this to keep calm no matter what he was about to see when he saw the row of huge needles that Su Yayan pulled out, and as he was clear that these needles were about to be inserted into Ning Qirui, he could not help but inhale sharply.
It was the same as the day before, where the acupuncture points that Su Yayan chose to insert needles in were mostly on the back. However, the slight change that happened was that she had poked more places than she did before, and did something she did not do the previous day – moxibustion to further improve the effectiveness of her treatment.
Yang Jinyou watched Ning Qirui get poked by needles, and was witnessing the finger-sized ‘joss stick’ going over and over Ning Qirui when he suddenly felt like the world was unexplainable and magical.
Was she really treating him and not treating him like a yarn ball?
