Chapter 1078: Chapter 1079: Heaven Provides a Meal

Having said that, Chen Baoshen looked towards Chiang Xiao, "And who might this be?"

"This is my future granddaughter-in-law, Chiang Xiao. Little, call Doctor Chen."

Chiang Xiao called out to Doctor Chen in a straightforward manner.

Chen Baoshen immediately sized her up, "Meng Xinian, Officer Meng’s fiancee?"

"Isn’t it just that boy? He’s my only grandson after all."

"She’s quite the beauty! Gorgeous! Officer Meng has good taste, and he’s in luck! Xiao Chiang, your countenance foretells a prosperous husband," Chen Baoshen gave Chiang Xiao a thumbs up.

Chiang Xiao felt somewhat awkward.

Was this a physician or a fortune-telling master?

Old Meng, however, loved hearing such words and nodded with pride, "I like the child as well, truly excellent: respectful and clever."

And speaking of prospering her husband, Old Meng actually believed it. After she got engaged to Xinian, Xinian joined the elite Supervisor Guards, got promoted to Officer, isn’t that a consistent rise in status?

Quite good indeed.

"Let’s go, let’s sit over there; have some tea," Chen Baoshen seemed even happier than before.

Old Meng glanced at Chiang Xiao.

Before coming out, he had asked Chiang Xiao’s opinion about bringing some unique Nourishing Body Tea or floral tea, to first find an opportunity to brew a pot for Chen Baoshen. If Chen Baoshen enjoyed it, then they would give him a jar.

Chiang Xiao felt a touch of heartache.

Normally, Old Meng wouldn’t condescend to such sycophancy, but for his son, he had thrown all caution to the wind, all to ensure Chen Baoshen would play along in finding a reason to treat Meng Chaojun’s illness and to help keep his condition concealed from others.

She had no grounds to refuse.

"Doctor Chen, we’ve brought some special tea that you won’t find in the market, would you like to try some?" Chiang Xiao offered to Chen Baoshen.

Chen Baoshen smiled and nodded, "That’s nice, having the chance to drink tea brewed by you is a blessing for me."

Old Meng watched them, somewhat confused.

Something felt off.

Why did Chen Baoshen seem to treat Chiang Xiao with the same regard as he himself did?

Chiang Xiao had a vague understanding.

Madam Li regarded Meng Xinian as her own, and Chen Baoshen was the Li Family’s exclusive doctor. Perhaps he was aware of their relationship, evident by his reaction upon learning her identity.

Thus, Chen Baoshen was extra cordial towards her.

She went to wash her hands and brought out the Nourishing Body Tea, then started brewing the tea for them.

The Nourishing Body Tea was made with tea leaves from the Space and several kinds of medicinal herbs. When Chiang Xiao was preparing it, she faintly sensed a hint of the Space’s aroma.

A tranquil and light fragrance.

As soon as the first round of tea was ready, Chen Baoshen suddenly twitched his nose and inhaled deeply.

Old Meng and Chiang Xiao watched him, puzzled.

"Eh?"

Chen Baoshen appeared surprised and continued to sniff the aroma of the tea.

"Why do I feel that this tea’s aroma is somewhat familiar? There seems to be a medicinal herb scent that I’ve smelled somewhere before."

Old Meng exclaimed in admiration and said to Chiang Xiao, "Little, perhaps you’re not yet aware? Doctor Chen’s nose is extraordinary, a true gift. When it comes to scents, especially those of Chinese medicines, his sense is incredibly acute; he can sniff out and identify anything."

That remarkable?

Chiang Xiao was astonished.

Does that count as Chen Baoshen’s unique edge? A practitioner of medicine, especially Chinese medicine, coupled with such talent...

No wonder he earned the reputation of being a Divine Chinese Medicine Practitioner.

Chen Baoshen laughed and shook his head, "This is just my good fortune from the heavens."

He took a sip of the tea and was instantly astonished.
