After the divorce, I returned to my village and became a legendary healer.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi'an was both amused and exasperated. This woman seemed to be gloating.

It seemed as if he really cared about Lin Qingxue.

He opened his phone, glanced at the screen, and then looked up at Ji Qingqian.

"Isn't this a bit shameless?" Chen Shi'an said, looking at Ji Qingqian.

Ji Qingqian blushed and simply turned her head away without saying a word.

"How can I sleep well when I'm facing such a beautiful face all day long?" Chen Shi'an said quietly.

Ji Qingqian chuckled, then glared at Chen Shi'an fiercely.

Liu Jiang watched this scene with amusement; it's just that young people are so interesting.

My own granddaughter is quite good, but it seems someone beat her to it.

It's a bit of a shame.

At lunchtime, Ji Qingqian naturally followed Chen Shi'an.

"I already told you I'm your girlfriend, and you still want to kick me out? I'm going to tell Auntie!" Ji Qingqian said through gritted teeth, looking at Chen Shi'an.

"Girlfriend? A girlfriend has obligations, are you going to fulfill them?" Chen Shi'an said irritably!

Ji Qingqian glared fiercely at Chen Shi'an.

"It's just dating anyway, I don't want to think about it too much," Ji Qingqian said meaningfully.

In her view, Chen Shi'an was hurt by his ex-wife, which led him to lose faith in love.

That's why she's indifferent to everything and avoids topics related to relationships.

However, she believes that Chen Shian will eventually get over it.

She had thought about cutting off all contact with Chen Shi'an in the future, but just thinking about it made her feel incredibly depressed.

It felt as if a stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

"So, is it fulfilling the obligation or not?" Chen Shi'an blinked.

He gave her a chance, but she didn't cherish it. She shouldn't blame him in the future.

"roll."

"The 'rolling' in 'rolling in bed sheets'?" Chen Shi'an laughed!

Ji Qingqian pinched Chen Shi'an, but still felt unsatisfied, so she stomped on his foot.

After stepping in the shoes, she realized she was wearing high heels and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for herself, wondering, "Did I hurt myself?"

"It's alright!"

"It'll probably be swollen for a couple of days, no big deal," Chen Shi'an said with a nonchalant smile.

He's practically indestructible, okay? Ji Qingqian's strength is like a tickle.

"Idiot, don't you know how to dodge?" Ji Qingqian said irritably!

"Do you really have to step on it?" Chen Shi'an asked, both amused and exasperated.

Women! They're such contradictions.

When she hits you, she blames you for not dodging; if you dodge, she gets even angrier.

Chen Shi'an had lunch at home, and he mentioned Chen Guoxi to Grandpa Liu Jiang.

"Are you confident?" Liu Jiang asked, looking at Chen Shi'an.

"Seven out of ten!" Chen Shi'an didn't make any absolute statements.

"But if we delay any longer, even a miracle won't save us," Chen Shi'an said calmly.

"Okay! Consider it an experiment. I'll talk to the hospital about reducing his medical expenses. It would be even better if he had medical insurance."

"It's alright if we don't have it," Liu Jiang said earnestly.

"Thank you so much, sir," Chen Shi'an said with a smile.

Liu Jiang smiled but didn't say anything.

It's good that the young man has this ambition; this made Liu Jiang look at Chen Shi'an with new respect.

Doctors, you must have principles, but remember not to be a pushover.

In this world, those who are overly kind never end up well.

With the matter settled, Chen Shi'an decided to go to Lin Guoxi's house.

The neighboring village isn't far away.

Chen Shi'an set off on Chen Jianjun's motorcycle.

Ji Qingqian insisted on going along.

Chen Shi'an did not refuse.

As the motorcycle started moving, Ji Qingqian couldn't help but hug Chen Shi'an's waist.

She'd been drooling over that guy's abs for ages.

The moment she touched him, Ji Qingqian's face flushed slightly.

There was a strange hint of smugness in his eyes.

Regardless of who Chen Shi'an is entangled with, Zhao Mei recognizes her, and only she can be so open and aboveboard in the village.

Chen Shi'an felt the hand on his waist and couldn't help but smile.

This woman!

Lin Guoxi's house was easy to find; he found it after asking around.

At the entrance of the village stands a low, tiled house, its courtyard wall barely reaching the height of a person.

The yard was very clean, with a path and vegetables planted on both sides.

A girl, around twenty years old, was washing clothes in the yard.

The moment she raised her head, her clear, bright eyes and her fair, clear face were incredibly captivating.

Inside the room, a violent coughing fit could be heard.

"Who are you?" The girl asked with a smile, wiping her hands on her trousers as she looked at Chen Shi'an and Ji Qingqian who had appeared.

"My name is Chen Shi'an. Is this Lin Guoxi's house?" Chen Shi'an asked.

At this moment, Lin Guoxi must have heard the commotion and came out of the house.

"Dr. Chen, what brings you here?" Lin Guoxi asked Chen Shi'an with a puzzled look.

"I came to take a look." Chen Shi'an smiled.

Then he sat down on a stone in the courtyard, and Lin Guoxi simply sat on the threshold.

"Qingqing, go pour me a glass of water," Lin Guoxi said to Lin Qingqing.

"No need to trouble yourself. I came here mainly to tell you something."

"Your illness is actually treatable."

"Don't speak yet," Chen Shi'an interrupted Lin Guoxi as he was about to speak.

"I've contacted the hospital, and they can reduce the fees," Chen Shi'an said to Lin Guoxi.

"What illness does my father have?" Lin Qingqing asked, her voice trembling.

Those bright eyes were now covered in tears.

"Lung cancer, it has now progressed to the middle stage," Chen Shi'an said calmly.

"There's no point in hiding it, and it's not incurable," Chen Shi'an said.

"Dad!" Lin Qingqing cried out in anguish!

"What about the fees?" Lin Guoxi looked embarrassed.

"Dad, I'll sell everything I own to get you treatment. You said that being alive is more important than anything else," Lin Qingqing said, holding Lin Guoxi's hand and crying.

"The fees can be reduced or waived, and it's also a trial by the hospital. I happen to know a doctor there."

"Give yourself a chance, and give your daughter a chance to be filial to you," Chen Shi'an said softly.

"We'll treat it," Lin Qingqing said.

"Alright, let's get ready to go to the hospital! A car is just coming." Chen Shi'an said decisively!

"Okay!" Lin Qingqing nodded and turned to pack her things.

"Thank you, Dr. Chen," Lin Guoxi said, looking at Chen Shi'an.

"You're welcome. This is also a learning experience for the hospital."

"So, you don't need to worry. As long as you actively cooperate with the treatment, your condition will definitely not get worse."

"Your daughter is so grown up, don't you want to see her get married? Don't you want to hold your grandchild?"

"If you leave, she'll really be all alone," Chen Shi'an said softly.

Chen Guoxi's eyes reddened. "I understand."

"You don't need to mention any experiments. I know that without you, I probably wouldn't have had this opportunity. I will never thank you for your kindness." This usually stern man shed tears, a rare occurrence for him.
