Chapter 43: Fame Again

Chapter 43

Jian Xi let Chen Qingdong stretch out his hand and place it on the table. She put three fingers together and pressed them against his wrist pulse.

After a while, she retracted her hand.

Chen Qingdong seemed to be waiting for the verdict. He held his breath and looked at her nervously, not daring to ask.

Jian Xi gave him a faint smile to relax him, and said softly, "It's treatable."

When these two words came out, Chen Qingdong was greatly relieved. What followed was bitterness—a man in his forties was on the verge of tears in front of Jian Xi.

The rumors over the years had nearly crushed him. Fortunately, he had the companionship of his wife who did not abandon him. Moreover, the Chen family was a single heir for three generations. When he found out about his infertility, his parents aged overnight. One can imagine how much pressure he was under!

Jian Xi could understand. For some people, offspring were truly important, it was their legacy.

"Thank you, Miss Jian." Chen Qingdong stood up and bowed to thank her.

Jian Xi dodged to the side. "Mr. Chen, it's too early to thank me now. You can thank me again when you have good news, it won't be too late."

Treating his infertility was not difficult, but Chinese medicine and acupuncture must be combined. "From now on, Mr. Chen, come here at ten o'clock every morning. I'll give you a prescription for the medicine, and write down the usage instructions. It can be cured after ten days."

Chen Qingdong's eyes widened in disbelief. He doubted his own ears. "Miss Jian, did you say how many days?"

"Ten days. What's wrong? Your illness has dragged on for a long time and can't be rushed. Otherwise, the effect won't be very good and you'll suffer a lot." Jian Xi patiently explained.

Realizing she had misunderstood, he hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "No, Miss Jian, I think ten days is too fast!"

Jian Xi looked up at him. Wasn't he anxious? Why did he think ten days was too fast?

"It's not that either, I just, I..." Chen Qingdong was so excited that he was a bit incoherent. In the end, he could only squeeze out one sentence, "Miss Jian, you are too amazing!"

Jian Xi felt a little embarrassed by his praise. "I said it's still too early to say things like that now."

She handed him the prescription, instructed him to come on time tomorrow, then let Gu Lingling send him out.

Afterwards, she hurried away, because she didn’t know how to face him when he woke up, and even less wanted the Zhou family who already looked down on her to think she was sleeping her way up. So she asked her colleague to help delete all the surveillance videos related to her.

But unexpectedly, a month after the incident, she discovered that she was pregnant. She chose to give birth because to her, this was the best gift he could give her!

Suddenly the baby's cries brought her thoughts back. She put down her chopsticks and hurried to comfort her daughter.

Before she even finished soothing the baby, there was a knock at the door. Without time to consider who it could be so late, she just held the child and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, Xu Yao was stunned. The man standing at the door turned out to be the one she had just reminisced about!

"Waa--Waa--"

The crying sounds of the child were extraordinarily loud in the quiet space. Xu Yao came back to her senses, and quickly hid the child in her arms. Could he have come to take away her daughter, who was her only light? He must not be allowed to take her away!

Xu Yao took steps back. Zhou Junhe did not hesitate to stride into the room.

The door slammed shut.

The night was still long, perfect for talking through until dawn!

...

A few days later, the Zhou family sent Zhou Junhe’s wedding invitation, inviting Jian Xi and He Qingchen to attend.

On the wedding day, He Qingchen brought Jian Xi. Zhou Junhe and Xu Yao held hands on stage, and together bowed to Jian Xi in gratitude. Jian Xi did not evade, and accepted it.

She gave their daughter a peace talisman as a gift, wishing the little baby to grow up healthy!

Jian Xi caused another sensation again. Xu Yan was getting endless calls, with appointments getting longer and longer. Yet this was still not the peak moment.

Because another week later, the head of the Chen family, Chen Qingdong, announced that his infertility had been cured by Jian Xi. The hospital checkup report already showed normal results!

From then on, more and more people wanted to find Jian Xi, whether or not they were from B City, or from prominent families.
