Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Accomplishment

"Miss Zeng..."

The young man mumbled, only managing to utter a word.

"I, I am impure, my body has been tainted."

Looking at the young man with teary eyes, the young woman shook her head, "Jingzhi, you’re not tainted, you’re pure..."

She could remember, remember the handsome young man she saw that day.

She could remember his daily smiles to the patients, his words of comfort whenever he heard a patient sigh.

This young man was the purest; he wasn’t tainted at all.

"Miss Zeng, I am not worthy of you. You should search for a legitimate son of a noble family, someone who can give you security."

Wang Jingzhi’s heart throbbed as he said these words, filled with reluctance.

Miss Zeng was unlike the other girls.

She was pure, lively, her eyes always beaming with laughter.

She liked him. Lord Zeng also sent someone to ask if he’d like to be a son-in-law by marriage.

He declined, but Miss Zeng merely came to the Medical Hall to learn daily and didn’t create any chaos.

His heart stirred.

Yet, he was afraid of being let down again.

Afraid that, once everything was revealed, he’d have to face her disgusted gaze.

"But I am fond of you." Miss Zeng looked at him steadily, wishing she could lay bare her sincere feelings for him.

She had always been a stubborn girl. Since childhood, her body was weak, and her parents seldom let her go out. This, however, only led to her stubbornness—she’d never back down without hitting a wall.

Wang Jingzhi just stood there looking at her, as if trying to see the heart beneath her body and whether it truly was as she claimed.

"Jingzhi, are you willing... to marry me?"

Zeng Yuanyuan struggled to hold back her tears from falling any further.

A tear ran down the young man’s face and silence fell between them for a long while.

Just when Zeng Yuanyuan thought that this was his refusal, he finally spoke.

"Alright..."

The word seemed to have drained all his strength. Before Zeng Yuanyuan could even smile, the young man had fallen to the ground, faint.

Nanzhi and Sun Cui returned to the Lin Family with Yuanbao.

After being out in the sun for a while, Sun Cui went to rest after greeting Nanzhi, who was looking at the little Yuanbao with some hesitation.

"Yuanbao, does your father know you came to Yan City?"

Nanzhi, blinded by the sun, squinted to ask.

Yuanbao shook his head honestly, "I ran out on my own, they don’t know I’m missing."

Nanzhi choked, feeling a little helpless.

Since the ginseng was a matter of life and death, it is best to return as soon as possible.

But her wedding was only twenty days away, and it would take half a month to get to Qing Fenghan from Yan City.

"Mom, I can go find that grandpa. He can take me home." Yuanbao patted her chest confidently.

"Grandpa?"

Nanzhi was somewhat surprised. She knew Yuanbao had paid a carrier to bring her here, but she was still somewhat uneasy.

Moreover, carriers always traveled everywhere, so how could Yuanbao find him just like that?

"Uh-huh, grandpa said, when it’s time for me to leave, just wait for him in the woods at the city gate. All I need is a roast chicken!"

Little Yuanbao had a serious look on her face, her cheeks pink and flushed.

Even if the child sounded certain, Nanzhi was still not at ease. It seemed she saw her worries; Little Yuanbao tugged on her clothes. When Nanzhi bent down, Yuanbao whispered, "Mom, that old grandpa is just like you. His head is shiny too!"

Nanzhi was speechless. Seeing Yuanbao’s cheerful face, all she could do was sigh and crouch down.

"Why do you say that mom’s head is shiny, Yuanbao?"

Ever since she arrived here, she hadn’t stayed up late to play on her phone, and even the food she ate couldn’t have been any healthier. She even had more hair now. There was no shine on her head!

"It is shiny! Brother Zhiyu’s head is also a bit shiny, but not as shiny as mom’s." As Yuanbao spoke, she opened her hands wide for emphasis.

"That old Grandpa’s head is very, very shiny! It’s like his head is glowing!"

Yuanbao sighed in admiration as she thought of the old grandpa’s appearance.

That grandpa’s head looked like the sun, it was so amusing.

Nanzhi didn’t speak, just gave her a complicated look and then led her back to the hall.

Perhaps there was some strange situation, after all, Zhiyu had always been lucky. Although he’s now a little older and can’t be as lucky as when he was younger, he’s much luckier compared to her.

Perhaps it was what they called a child of good fortune?

And Yuanbao?

What could her shiny head represent?

After pouring Yuanbao a glass of water, Nanzhi fell into deep thought.

She needed to send Yuanbao back soon.

While troubled, she suddenly heard a slight movement from the courtyard. Turning her head, she saw a man in white, Shen Wenchen.

"Wenchen?"

A smile lit up Nanzhi’s face, and she was about to rush over.

"Don’t come out, it’s too sunny." Shen Wenchen promptly advised, striding into the hall.

Yuanbao put down her bowl, looking curiously at the newcomer. Seeing that her mom was happy, she didn’t say anything, only quietly sat aside.

"What brought you here?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Nanzhi’s tone was a mix of joy and a little reproach.

"Just passing by, thought I’d drop in to see you." Shen Wenchen replied, wearing a warm smile.

"Yuanbao, this is your Brother Zhiyu’s father."

Nanzhi introduced him to Yuanbao with a smile. Yuanbao was quite cooperative, instantly jumping off the stool to greet Shen Wenchen with a deep bow, even affectionately addressing him.

"Godfather!"

Shen Wenchen hadn’t expected the little girl to be such a sweet talker, but he quickly recovered and took a small jade pendant from his pocket.

"Your godmother and Brother Zhiyu mentioned you to me. Yuanbao, you indeed are an amiable little girl. This is a gift from your godfather."

As he spoke, Shen Wenchen offered her the little jade pendant.

Yuanbao blinked and turned to Nanzhi.

"Go ahead and accept it, Yuanbao." Nanzhi laughed, patting her head softly.

"Thank you, Godfather～"

Seeing Yuanbao’s cute obedient look, Shen Wenchen couldn’t help but think, if they have a daughter in the future, would she be even cuter?

Gougou was pretty when he was young. If they had a daughter, she probably wouldn’t fall short.

In just a few moments, Shen Wenchen decided on a big matter. Seeing him laugh foolishly, Nanzhi only lightly jabbed him in the waist to remind him to pay attention.

"Yuanbao, sit down and rest a bit." After patting Yuanbao’s little bottom, Nanzhi turned to Shen Wenchen.

"Wenchen, I’ve already bought the ginseng with Yuanbao. Do you have a way to send her back sooner?"
