Chapter 208: Reuniting with an Old Friend

Bai Zhi greeted Lu Ye as he entered the room. By this time, Ye Rufeng had already finished teaching Zhou Lin, and Zhou Lin was in the room reviewing and digesting the contents of the prescription he had just given.

"Should we tell Grandpa I'm back?" Lu Ye looked towards the hall.

Whenever I get home, I always greet the elderly first.

"No need, come inside and drink your medicine. I've already brewed it for you." Bai Zhi pulled Lu Ye into the house and poured him the medicine.

"Have you eaten?" she asked.

Lu Ye replied, "I've already eaten."

"Guess who I ate with?" He looked at the girl who poured him the herbal medicine, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Isn't it just my cousin?" Bai Zhi handed him the bowl of medicine. "Is there anyone else?"

"Uncle." Lu Ye didn't keep her in suspense and went straight to the point, telling her the news.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly. "Uncle? Didn't you say he was away on a business trip? He's back so soon?"

"I wasn't on a business trip." Lu Ye took the medicine bowl and drank the medicine first.

Bai Zhi stood in front of him, somewhat surprised by his words.

Unfortunately, Lu Ye was taking his medicine and couldn't answer her questions in time.

However, being as clever as she was, she quickly realized what was going on.

After Lu Ye finished drinking the medicine, she couldn't wait to confirm her guess, "Uncle didn't go on a business trip? Did he deliberately lie to Li Li? Is he secretly investigating that adulterous couple?"

Meeting the girl's expectant and questioning gaze, Lu Ye put down the medicine bowl, looked at her affectionately, and patted her head. "My boyfriend is so smart, he can't hide anything from you."

Confirming her suspicions, Bai Zhi hurriedly asked, "Did you find anything out during the investigation? Did you gain anything from following Li Bin?"

"Xiao Zhi, that man Li Bin has been involved in illegal and disorderly activities. I can't tell you more details right now, but your uncle should have obtained evidence of Li Bin's improper relationship with Li Li through secret channels."

Lu Ye looked at her and said in a low voice, "Uncle doesn't want us to get involved in the aftermath of this matter, so let's not worry about it. Let Uncle handle everything. I believe he can handle it well."

Bai Zhi was finally relieved to hear this news.

As long as her uncle can remain calm in the face of this matter and doesn't do anything foolish to harm himself in a fit of rage, that's fine.

Fortunately, in this life, the uncle found out he had been cheated on early, while the illegitimate child was still in Li Li's belly.

The child was not born and had not yet established a familial relationship with Ye Tiandong.

Therefore, Ye Tiandong was able to remain calm after learning this cruel truth.

Unlike his previous life, his child had grown up so much, and most of his wealth had been swallowed up by that despicable couple...

"Okay, now that you say so, I feel relieved."

Lu Ye asked, "Will Derentang be open tomorrow?"

“We have to open in the morning.” Bai Zhi explained to him, “Grandpa said there are still a few patients who haven’t come for follow-up appointments. We’ll open for half a day in the morning so that he can go back to Nancheng with peace of mind after they come for their follow-up appointments.”

"My grandfather truly deserves his reputation as a miracle doctor; he was very responsible towards his patients."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "That's for sure. For him, the patient is more important than anything else."

He will take full responsibility for any patient who has received treatment from him, as long as they actively seek treatment.

"Alright, it's too late tonight, you don't need acupuncture anymore, get some rest."

Bai Zhi was about to leave when Lu Ye stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his arms.

"Hold me for a while." He rested his head on her shoulder, his voice hoarse and nagging.

Bai Zhi didn't push him away, but gracefully wrapped her arms around his strong waist. She quietly leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

"Xiaobai, what have you thought about what Grandpa said?" He hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear, "Will you marry me?"

"Are you really ready to get married?" Bai Zhi looked up at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Xiaobai, to be honest, I've never been married either, and I don't know if I can be a good husband." Lu Ye looked into her watery eyes, his expression affectionate and sincere. "But I will try my best to learn how to be a good husband, to manage our little family with care, and to try to balance work and life so that you won't suffer any grievances."

"Me too, I will also try my best to learn how to be a good wife."

In her past life, she was a workaholic and there were no men worthy of her effort to build a family.

Therefore, she was also very apprehensive.

I don't know if I can be a good wife after marriage.

"Xiaobai, you don't need to learn anything. Just do what you want to do. You don't need to deliberately become a virtuous woman. I like you as you are now."

Lively, cute, and full of energy.

It can also give people a strong sense of security.

In short, he loved her very much.

"Brother Ye, you're so kind." Bai Zhi's heart fluttered, and she tiptoed to give him a light peck on the cheek.

Then you have to run.

How could a man give her a chance to escape? He grabbed the back of her head and kissed her forcefully...

The next day, after Lu Ye took Bai Zhi and the others to the clinic, he hurriedly drank the herbal medicine and then went out to meet up with Ye Qingbai.

The two went straight to the Bincheng Chengguan Public Security Bureau.

As soon as Derentang opened its doors, patients began to come in one after another.

Most of them come for follow-up visits.

When patients come to see him for the first time, Ye Rufeng will explain to them that he will be going to another city to practice medicine.

For patients who need several follow-up visits, Ye Rufeng will prescribe enough herbal medicine and explain the time of the next follow-up visit.

Around 11 o'clock, the clinic finally quieted down.

"Grandpa, are there any patients left now?"

The meaning of Bai Zhi is to pack up, close the door, and go home as soon as possible.

Last night, she was packing her things when that "pesky devil" kept her cuddling with him. After they got back to the room, she was so dizzy from his kisses that she lost all interest in packing.

"Close at midnight."

Ye Rufeng may seem carefree in his daily life, but he has an extremely strong sense of time when practicing medicine.

Everyone knows that he sees patients until noon in the morning, and then closes his clinic and leaves at 11 o'clock.

Then all the patients who come in that hour will have gone to waste.

"Okay, then I'll wait a bit longer."

Bai Zhi gestured to Zhou Lin to first organize all the medicine cabinets and push them inside to prevent rats from getting in.

She wasn't idle either; she tidied up the desk.

After working for more than half an hour, no more patients came in.

Bai Zhi thought that no patients would come at this time, and they could just wait until they got off work at 12 o'clock.

At this moment, Lu Ye and Ye Qingbo also drove back.

In front of Ye Rufeng, they didn't mention anything else, only explaining that they had gone to help out at the pig farm.

"Grandpa, shall we go back now?" Lu Ye asked.

Ye Rufeng glanced at his watch; it was almost midnight. He replied, "Okay, let's head back then."

Just as I stood up, a sudden, urgent cry for help came from outside the door.

"Doctor, is the doctor here?"

Ye Qingbo was closest to the door, and upon hearing the sound, he lifted the curtain.

A woman in factory clothes was helping an injured man walk in with difficulty.

Seeing this, Ye Qingbai quickly offered a helping hand.

Bai Zhi and Lu Ye both looked up at the doorway.

Bai Zhi's expression changed drastically when she saw the person who came in.
