Xia Yan listened and felt relieved, "That’s good."
anwhile, 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 soone accompany you when you go ho. 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 ti.
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 ng? News from Changjin Prefecture says Brother ng has again scored as the top scorer; he’s amazing. Master says, with Brother ng’s knowledge, he has no problem in becoming 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, ng Han had already impatiently started talking.
"Sister Shuyu is not at the inn. She said she had sothing to do but would be back soon. My cousin is out too. Ah Ning, have you learned dical skills at such a young age? Truly, you are Sister Shuyu’s sister, inheriting from the sa 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 ."
Xia Yan: "..." Why does this sound so odd?
ng 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 ng Han hadn’t known her for long. His biggest impression should be her slapping Tao Qin. From just one slap, he deed her a remarkable woman?
Yet Ah Ning seed to deeply resonate with this, not thinking ng 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 beca confidantes from their first eting, spinning countless topics around Shu Yu and chatting incessantly on the way, leaving Xia Yan no opportunity to chi 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 ng Yunzheng hadn’t returned.
Ah Ning was sowhat disappointed and could only wait in the room.
Xia Yan went downstairs to fetch so 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.
