Chapter 535 - Taking Her Pulse (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qi Zhenbai was still brooding over it, but when he heard his wife’s words, especially when she said, “I’m afraid most of the people in the school dorm now know about us,” the gloom in his heart was immediately swept away, and a smile appeared on his taut and cold face.
Seeing that the man beside her didn’t reply for a long time, Chi Shuyan thought that he was busy, but she heard him say in a low voice, “No problem; I’ll listen to my wife!”
Chi Shuyan was very talented at reading a person’s fortune from their face and refining pills, but she was a complete fraud in a hospital. She was actually reluctant to get out of the car, because she didn’t think she was pregnant at all.
Qi Zhenbai carried her out forcefully. In the end, Chi Shuyan could only follow the man obediently. Thinking about how the man had followed her attentively as she went to take a shower last night, she might as well get a check up and make the man give up. Otherwise, no matter what she did in the future, the man would follow behind her. That was simply too scary.
Qi Zhenbai had already made an appointment with a particularly authoritative old Chinese doctor in the hospital first thing that morning. The man was also the director of this hospital, and was semi-retired.
This old director had a close connection to his family. He used to be a military doctor under his grandfather.
He had also been very famous for his medical skills in the army back then.
The old director was renowned for his medical skills and was very accurate at reading a person’s pulse. However, the director was getting on in years and rarely diagnosed patients nowadays. If Qi Zhenbai hadn’t called him personally, the old director would still be at home tending to his garden.
At that moment, Qi Zhenbai led the way to the director’s office. Chi Shuyan saw the amiable old director and heard the man beside her call out, “Uncle Ming!”
The old director was married and only had one daughter, who was already married. Although he used to be the old general’s subordinate, he had watched Zhenbai grow up. Zhenbai was close to him; in his heart, the director had long regarded this child as his own grandson.
When the old director saw Zhenbai bring his wife over, he was so happy that he beamed.
“Young Master Zhen…”
Before the old director could finish, Qi Zhenbai directly asked him to call him by his name. In the old director’s heart, Qi Zhenbai was closer to him than his own grandson. Qi Zhenbai naturally respected and liked this elder very much.
The old director was amused and didn’t refuse when he heard Zhenbai’s words. He called, “Zhenbai!” His eyes fell on the young lady next to Qi Zhenbai, and he asked cheerfully, “Zhenbai, is this your wife?” As he spoke, the old director chuckled. “Good, this child has good features!”
Chi Shuyan was a bit embarrassed by his praise, but she still followed suit graciously and greeted him, “Uncle Ming!”
The old director still trusted Zhenbai’s judgment. Hearing Zhenbai’s wife address him that way, he was very happy. Thinking about what Zhenbai had said, however, the old director couldn’t help but size up Zhenbai’s wife. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was still young; was she already pregnant?
But thinking about how Zhenbai had found her, the old director wasn’t worried; this boy had always been the most responsible since childhood.
This boy just didn’t have good looks; his way of doing things was more like Grandpa Qi than Father Qi. If it wasn’t for his health, Grandpa Qi would have gotten him to directly enlist in the army.
But Zhenbai was quite determined. Although he didn’t enlist, he still convinced his grandfather to let him join the army for five years of training, and he also broke many records in the capital’s military district.
If it wasn’t for this boy’s illness suddenly flaring up, his military unit would have long shouted for the old man to give him to them.
Alright, enough of the past.
Seeing that Zhenbai’s wife was already an adult, the old headmaster was even less worried. He beckoned the two to sit down. “Zhenbai, tell your wife to sit and not be nervous. I’ll take her pulse!”
