Chapter 1442: Chapter 1442: Friends Already?
Xia Yan listened and felt relieved, “That’s good.”
Meanwhile, the group arrived at Renxin Clinic.
Ah Ning got down from Xia Yan’s arms and said to Doctor Xie, “Sister Xie, please be careful and have someone acpany you when you go home. I won’t visit your place today; I need to see my sister.”
Doctor Xie smiled and said, “Alright, see you another day.”
“Okay, then please tell Xiaoque to inform Master of my whereabouts.”
Xiaoque is a maid from the Tan Family, which takes good care of Old Doctor Zhao and Ah Ning. Knowing Ah Ning frequently visits Renxin Clinic, they specifically arranged for a maid to take her to and fro.
Not only does Ah Ning have a maid by her side, but Old Doctor Zhao also has a servant with him, ready to be instructed at any time.
Today, it was Xiaoque from the Tan Family who brought Ah Ning to Renxin Clinic. Initially, Xiaoque would wait at the clinic, but later on, as Ah Ning often stayed all day, she was told to return first.
After speaking with Doctor Xie, Ah Ning turned to look at Xia Yan.
Xia Yan nodded to Doctor Xie and then led her out of the clinic.
Once they were outside, Ah Ning excitedly asked, “Is my sister at the inn? Is she with Brother Meng? News from Changjin Prefecture says Brother Meng has again scored as the top scorer; he’s amazing. Master says, with Brother Meng’s knowledge, he has no problem in being the top scorer of the imperial exams. A top scorer, then my sister would be the top scorer’s wife.”
Listening to the lively voice of the little girl, Xia Yan couldn’t help but smile. Before he could reply, Meng Han had already impatiently started talking.
“Sister Shuyu is not at the inn. She said she had something to do but would be back soon. My cousin is out too. Ah Ning, have you learned medical skills at such a young age? Truly, you are Sister Shuyu’s sister, inheriting from the same line.”
Ah Ning slightly puffed her chest, “Right, I also think I’m smart and capable. I’ve got my sister’s blood running through me.”
Xia Yan: “…” Why does this sound so odd?
Meng Han nodded vigorously beside him, “Exactly, like sister like sister. Sister Shuyu is learned and talented, a remarkable woman.”
Xia Yan was baffled; Miss Shu Yu was indeed capable and intelligent, but Meng Han hadn’t known her for long. His biggest impression should be her slapping Tao Qin. From just one slap, he deemed her a remarkable woman?
Yet Ah Ning seemed to deeply resonate with this, not thinking Meng Han was exaggerating at all, even going above and beyond in praising Shu Yu.
These two young girls, despite a six-to-seven-year age gap, were so in sync and became confidantes from their first meeting, spinning countless topics around Shu Yu and chatting incessantly on the way, leaving Xia Yan no opportunity to chime in.
He sighed quietly, unable to grasp the thoughts of these young girls.
Thankfully, the three soon reached the lodging inn. They returned to the room to find no one there, indicating Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng hadn’t returned.
Ah Ning was somewhat disappointed and could only wait in the room.
Xia Yan went downstairs to fetch some snacks for them to eat. Just as he placed them on the table, there was a knock at the door.
When Xia Yan opened the door, he saw Shu Yu standing at the entrance.
“Second sister.” Ah Ning’s eyes lit up suddenly, dashing forward and hugging Shu Yu tightly around the waist.
