Chapter 633: The Appearance of Doctor Ye

When Ye Qingbai heard that she had actually asked about his biological mother, he was clearly surprised, and a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes. So, Shen Qian still cared about his family?

But since she asked, he has to face the question.

If he and Shen Qian can continue their relationship in the future, then he must make his family situation clear.

After all, people say that marriage is a matter between two people.

He spoke cautiously, “Yes, my dad called last time and said that my biological mother wrote a letter and will be coming back from abroad in the spring. According to the timeline, it should be within the next two months.”

"Perhaps I shouldn't have asked this question."

Looking at his solemn expression, Shen Qian felt a pang of sympathy for him. She had noticed it when they were at Bai Zhi's house that Ye Qingbai didn't seem to have any feelings for his biological mother.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she just felt very sorry for him and wanted to comfort him.

I want to talk to him about this topic and help him resolve his inner conflict.

Ye Qingbai shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind. "There's nothing I can't ask. Actually, I should have taken the initiative to tell you. I said I would give each other a chance to get to know each other, so I should tell you my situation without reservation."

He said, “My parents divorced when I was young, and then my mother went abroad and I heard she’s been doing business there ever since. I haven’t seen her for many years, but she often contacts me and sends us things.”

He glanced at Chen Qian, noticing her calm expression and attentive listening, and continued, "As you know, my dad remarried and had a younger brother. Overall, my family is quite happy, and my stepmother treats me very well. I'm an adult now, of marriageable age, with my own job, friends, and social circle. I don't crave maternal or paternal love like I did when I was a child. Whether my mother comes back or not makes no difference to me."

He truly has no feelings for his biological mother.

After all, it's been more than a decade since we last saw each other.

Shen Qian said, "I can tell that your mother is a career-oriented woman. She may have had her reasons for leaving back then. Women also have the right to pursue their ideals. Marriage doesn't necessarily mean staying at home to be a wife and mother. You should understand her."

Ye Qingbai felt there was nothing wrong with Shen Qian considering things from a woman's perspective. Shen Qian herself was an independent woman, and she was probably more able to empathize with his mother.

He smiled and said, "I understand, but it's true that I don't have any feelings for her. I don't blame her for leaving me, but I can't say that I should accept her now that she's back, and we should live happily ever after. Let's just leave each other alone."

This is his true thought.

If you're going to focus on your career, then go all the way. Don't let him get older and need family support, only to have it disrupt his life again.

This is a huge psychological burden for him.

Having not seen each other for so many years, he really didn't know how to get along with her if they suddenly met again.

"Did she remarry?" Shen Qian asked.

Ye Qingbai shook his head. "I don't know."

He guessed that she was probably unmarried. If his mother had remarried abroad and started her own family, she wouldn't lack family ties and might not have sought out him, her son.

"Xiaoqian, can you accept my family structure?" He looked at Shen Qian nervously and mustered up his courage to ask.

Would he mind his family situation?

Shen Qian met his gaze and earnestly expressed her opinion, "Whether we can be together or not, I only consider you as a person, not your family background. Besides, my family is also a blended family, so in a way, we are a good match."

Her words gave Ye Qingbai tremendous encouragement, and his heart instantly felt lighter.

Her tone became lighter, "Yes, we're a perfect match, aren't we? What are you still thinking about? Let's just get together."

Shen Qian, “…”

She coughed lightly, feigning seriousness, "Don't push your luck."

Ye Qingbai knew when to stop, afraid of going too far, and quickly compromised, "Okay, okay, I'll pursue you properly for a while longer, and you can test me."

"Come on, get in the car."

Ye Qingbai escorted Shen Qian to her dormitory, and then returned to his unit in a good mood.

Even though Shen Qian hasn't agreed to date him yet, at least she's willing to give him a chance and get to know him better, which is progress.

Bai Zhi has been cleaning and tidying up the clinic these past few days.

Everything was ready. She even printed an advertisement and posted it in advance at the store entrance, which included Ye Rufeng's name, information about the difficult and complicated diseases he specializes in, and the preferential policies for the initial opening.

To generate buzz for the opening.

First, put up the advertisement to make it known to the public, so that people know that a miracle doctor will soon be practicing here, and those with illnesses will definitely have something to look forward to.

Unbeknownst to Bai Zhi, the advertisement she printed soon appeared on the desk of Director Liu at the military hospital, and they had been keeping a close eye on Bai Zhi's activities.

To their surprise, the advertisement did not specify a particular opening date.

I only wrote about mid-March.

...

That day, Bai Zhi was fiddling with the medicinal herbs in the medicine cabinet again.

A voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Who dares to impersonate my Derentang and open a shop here?"

Bai Zhi's hand trembled in fright when she heard the sound.

Turning around, I saw two figures, one old and one young, standing at the door.

Both of them were dressed in all black, looking travel-worn and like refugees.

She was so shocked she couldn't speak coherently, "Grandpa, Linlin, you... how did you get here?"

Bai Zhi saw them and her eyes widened in astonishment.

The old doctor, whom she had been looking forward to every day, had actually appeared in front of her, and in such an unexpected way.

She always thought they would go back to Nancheng or Bincheng first, then call her, and she would go to meet them.

Unexpectedly, these two were incredibly resourceful and managed to sneak into her shop.

He truly deserves to be called a legendary doctor who wanders the world.

Ye Rufeng glanced at the storefront and said sarcastically, "If we hadn't come, we wouldn't have known you were so capable. Who gave you permission to use the Derentang name? Believe me or not, I'll sue you for copyright infringement."

Seeing this, Bai Zhi quickly ran over to soothe him, "Grandpa, what are you saying? Bincheng Derentang is yours, and the Derentang I opened here is also yours. That's why I've been looking forward to you coming back to practice medicine."

"How can you go back on your word? You said you'd be back after the New Year, but it's been so long! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"

I've had this TCM clinic renovated for almost a month now, and so many patients are eagerly awaiting your arrival. But after all these days, there's been absolutely no news, and it's driving me crazy.

Upon hearing this, Ye Rufeng rolled her eyes, "You brat, you're trying to turn the tables on me."

Seeing that this great man had finally arrived, Bai Zhi dared not offend him. She chuckled and said, "Grandpa, I also want to promote traditional Chinese medicine. The conditions here are quite harsh, and many people can't afford to go to the hospital when they are sick. So I thought I would open a clinic here to help people. This is also your wish."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Lin, who had been silent and looked dejected, took her hand, and asked with concern, "Linlin, you look thinner. You must have suffered a lot these past six months."

Zhou Lin hugged her tightly and began to wail, "Sister Bai Zhi, please don't mention it. I've never had such a life experience in my entire life."
