Chapter 188 "Conditions"

Ling Jingshu's eyes revealed fragility and helplessness, which eventually turned into firm persistence.

Those clear and bright eyes just looked at him quietly. It was both silent persistence and silent prayer.

Even if one had a heart of stone, he could not say a word of no to those eyes.

Whether marrying the grandson of the emperor or marrying into the Prince of Yan's mansion, it was a wealth and honor that ordinary people could hardly hope for. This is the dream that countless boudoir girls dream of. But Ling Jingshu avoided it as much as possible...

Just like the eldest sister back then.

The difference is that no one could help the eldest sister back then, so she could only helplessly become one of the emperor's harem, and endured day by day until today.

Ling Jingshu was much stronger and braver than the eldest sister back then, and fortunately she met him, who could lend a hand to help her once.

Wei Yan was silent for a moment before he sighed, "Okay, I promise you."

Ling Jingshu's heart, which had been lifted high, suddenly fell back to its original place, and a light of gratitude and joy flashed in her eyes: "Thank you."

That light illuminated her already bright and beautiful face, and the relieved smile on her lips was even more heart-stirring.

Wei Yan's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he forced himself to look away. Fortunately, his voice was still steady and no clues could be heard: "I can cover it for you. However, I also have conditions."

Ling Jingshu asked without hesitation: "I agree to any conditions."

As soon as the words came out, he felt something was wrong, and coughed and said: "I brought a lot of silver to the capital this time. This silver is nothing to Doctor Wei, but it is my sincere gratitude and thanks..."

Wei Yan laughed dumbly and quickly interrupted Ling Jingshu: "Okay, do you think I'm asking you for a reward?"

How could he be bought with gold and silver?

Ling Jingshu knew this very well. But the only thing she could give as a thank you gift was silver.

Ling Jingshu smiled apologetically: "Gold and silver are indeed a bit vulgar. But you cured Xiao's illness and concealed my illness. I really have no way to repay this great favor. I can only express my gratitude with this."

This Ling Jingshu, not using gold and silver as a thank you gift, clearly wanted to use these to shut him up and prevent him from proposing "conditions".

Wei Yan didn't want to beat around the bush and said directly: "I don't want gold or silver, but only one condition. If you agree, I will cover it up for you, otherwise, please find someone else."

The words were so direct and clear that Ling Jingshu couldn't pretend to be stupid, so she had to ask: "I don't know what the conditions are that Doctor Wei mentioned?"

Wei Yan said indifferently: "I have never encountered a disease like yours. Since I have encountered it, I will try to treat it. You are now reluctant and unwilling to tell all the hidden secrets. When you think it through in the future, you will let me treat you."

...

Ling Jingshu never expected that his so-called conditions were these, and her heart trembled violently.

Wei Yan's indifferent tone revealed real concern.

Care without selfish desires and unrequited love.

Ling Jingshu's nose was slightly sour, and she had the urge to cry for some reason.

She took a deep breath and ordered herself to calm down: "Dr. Wei is kind-hearted. If I don't appreciate it, I will be too ashamed to face him again."

Wei Yan laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "I have studied medicine and practiced medicine for many years, but this is the first time I have rushed to treat someone. This matter must not be spread out, otherwise, I, a miracle doctor, will lose face."

Ling Jingshu couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Every time she saw him, he was always indifferent and polite, keeping a distance from everyone. It was the first time that he was so humorous and relaxed like this.

This kind of Wei Yan, without the unreachable distance, suddenly became gentle and amiable.

Wei Yan stared at Ling Jingshu, who was smiling, and asked casually: "What? Have you figured it out now? Are you willing to let me treat you?"

Ling Jingshu raised the corner of her lips: "Not really. I have to think about it carefully, maybe a few months, maybe three to five years, there will always be a day when I figure it out."

That painful memory is the deepest and most painful pain in her heart. Every time she thought of it, it was like opening a scar, with only bloody pain.

But at this moment, her heart was unexpectedly relaxed.

Wei Yan smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll wait for the day when you figure it out, wait for you to open your heart and tell me all the secrets."

Ling Jingshu didn't think much about it, and hummed. After thinking about it carefully, her face began to get hot again.

The words just now didn't sound like what a doctor said to a patient, but more like the intimate whispers between lovers...

Wei Yan regretted it as soon as he said it. This is really frivolous!

The two of them fell silent at the same time.

There was a strange and subtle atmosphere floating in the air, as if they were trapped in something soft, their minds were clear, but their bodies were weak. They were trapped in it and couldn't extricate themselves.

This can't go on like this!

Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan said in unison: "I..."

And changed their words at the same time: "You speak first!"

In the embarrassment of looking at each other, the two laughed at the same time.

With this smile, the strange atmosphere in the room was swept away.

Ling Jingshu rushed to say: "I have been here for so long, I have delayed you for a long time! There are still a lot of patients waiting in Huichun Hall, I won't bother you any more."

Wei Yan did not try to persuade her to stay, and nodded.

Ling Jingshu walked to the table, carefully picked up the medicine bottle, and then said goodbye softly: "Take care, Doctor Wei, I'm leaving first."

Wei Yan suddenly remembered something important: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Ling Jingshu paused and turned her head in confusion: "Is there anything else?"

Wei Yan suppressed his smile and looked cautious: "You have to be careful about Queen Xu."

Ling Jingshu's heart moved, and the doubts that had been pressing in her heart suddenly came to mind. She quietly probed: "The Queen favors me very much, and may even call me to the palace in the future. It's too late for others to envy such a blessing. Why do you want me to be careful?"

Wei Yan's eyes flashed slightly and his voice was calm: "On the day you entered the palace, Queen Xu summoned King Yan to have lunch with her. With Queen Xu's shrewdness, she must have been aware of King Yan's intentions."

"Although you didn't mean it, King Yan did. In the eyes of Queen Xu, all this is your fault. She called you to meet you. Firstly, she wanted to see you in person, and secondly, it was a silent warning. "

"Queen Xu is cruel and ruthless. You must be more careful after entering the palace. Otherwise, you will not only cause trouble for yourself, but also for the Ling family."

This is very sensible and not perfunctory.

But, is that all?

No, it must be more than that.

Ling Jingshu turned around and stared at Wei Yan's face, not missing the slightest change in his expression: "Mr. Wei, is there any other reason besides this?"
