Chapter 944: Chapter 944: Secret Omen (1)

Who says a woman’s heart is as impenetrable as the ocean floor? Men’s thoughts can sometimes be exceedingly difficult to decipher, and Mo Yan certainly hadn’t figured out this subtle reason.

To avoid a certain petty man using this as an excuse to engage in adult-only activities with her, Mo Yan spoke softly about Cui Pingan’s pitiful pleading. Seeing the man still disapproving, she frustratingly realized that she couldn’t even afford to be angry, but also had to clear up the situation, simply because she was no match when that person threw a tantrum!

"He has a deficiency syndrome, and to have lived this long is only due to the Cui family’s solid foundation. If he were from an ordinary family, they probably would have fallen into decline long ago! I was just thinking of keeping him here temporarily to see if we can find a way to completely cure his condition. Since I’ve followed my mentor to study medicine, I should certainly apply what I’ve learned, right?"

Without prenatal care in these times, the occurrence of congenital deficiencies in children was much higher than in my previous life. Due to the lack of effective treatment methods, many children died shortly after birth, and even those who were lucky enough to survive couldn’t escape dependency on a constant intake of medicines.

I took Cui Pingan’s pulse and, for now, he seemed fine; he had grown into an adult and was able to move freely without the need to lie sickly in bed. However, medicine comes with inherent toxicity, and given his weak constitution and the varied medicinal herbs he consumed in his youth, toxins have accumulated in his body, posing a future threat to his ability to have children with his wife.

If there were a way to completely cure the deficiency without any side effects, it would be a tremendously meritorious deed. Although drinking Spirit Spring Water several times could help Cui Pingan expel the toxins that have accumulated in his body over the years, it’s obviously not realistic to treat every person with congenital deficiencies with Spirit Spring Water.

Even if this were achievable, I would eventually age and die, and without the Spirit Spring Water, what would become of the children born with deficiencies later on?

Indeed, upon hearing these words, Xiao Ruiyuan discarded the thought of sending the person away. In his heart, as long as there was something that could make Mo Yan happy, he wouldn’t oppose it.

Yet, the thought of Cui Pingan being a grown man left Xiao Ruiyuan feeling somewhat out of balance, and his voice carried a heavy note of jealousy unintentionally, "That lad is indeed a man, you should be more careful around him. Even if you have no designs on the boy, getting too close might lead him to entertain inappropriate thoughts."

Mo Yan silently rolled her eyes, and while she cooked, she responded, "You really think I’m beloved by all, don’t you? I’ve already said that he’s fond of a girl and his leaving home this time also involves her; put those wild thoughts of yours to rest."

Watching her nonchalance, Xiao Ruiyuan couldn’t help feeling stifled. He was concerned about his fiancée being snatched away by a wolf in sheep’s clothing, not indulging in wild fantasies.

Mo Yan hadn’t noticed his sulky demeanor, but it had clearly caught the attention of Liyan. Her eyes widened as she stared at Xiao Ruiyuan, surprised that the always cold groom-to-be could display such a vivid side. Considering the reason behind it, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and snicker, feeling happy for her Sister Yanyan.

Only those who truly value someone would be prone to such fears and worries!

With Xiao Ruiyuan present, it wasn’t proper for Lixiu and the others to join the dining table, so they set up a small table in the courtyard where the breeze made dining quite refreshing.

In the dining hall, Mo Qingze sat at the head of the table, with Xiao Ruiyuan to his right, followed by Cui Pingan, and then Yun Zhao and Zhenzhen lined up behind; on his left were in succession Mo Yan, Xin Er, and Shengsheng.

The Mo Family’s dining table was never short of laughter and joy. After not seeing each other for ten days, the family had endless topics to chat about. As the Mo Family’s son-in-law, Xiao Ruiyuan even broke away from his usual reticence, chiming in from time to time, creating a lively and warm atmosphere.
