Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Wen Corporation was in the midst of launching the Ai Shang Group products and, although it was their first time entering the market, the entire local market and overseas markets were involved. They had already established collaborations and partnerships with various merchants all across the globe. Once the products were listed, they could be put on sale in the markets.

Due to the fact that the product launch was just around the corner, the Wen Family did not continue hiding the situation about the launch of Ai Shang Group products. The media had also given Ai Shang Group a massive amount of attention and helped the Wen Family make a comeback, overwriting all of their scandalous news.

The Wen Family was enjoying positive attention and Wen Xinya felt as if a major rock had been lifted off her shoulders. She finally had the time to accompany Si Yiyan to visit Old Mr. Du and get his condition treated.

Wen Xinya introduced Si Yiyan and Du Shinan to each other.

Si Yiyan stopped smiling and greeted politely. “Nice to meet you, Old Mr. Du! I’ve been hearing a lot about you.”

Although his words were short and simple, it came off as pleasant and polite because of his respectful tone.

Du Shinan looked at him and said, “Don’t mention it, you’re Xinya’s friend.”

Du Shinan scanned the gentlemanly Si Yiyan from head to toe. Having lived for decades, he had met all kinds of people before, with the most outstanding one being Zhong Rufeng, whom he felt was a true gentleman.

However, he found Si Yiyan to be mysterious and resplendent. If Zhong Rufeng was said to be a glorious jade eucalyptus tree planted along the mountains, Si Yiyan would be snow lotus that was majestic in its own right. If Zhong Rufeng was Kunlun’s fine jade, Si Yiyan would be polished ivory that had been refined to perfection, mysterious and noble.

Du Shinan said, “I’d like to know more about the process of how you sustained the injury, as well as the reconstruction surgeries that you went through. Be as detailed as you can.”

Although Wen Xinya had already shown Old Mr. Du Si Yiyan’s medical record, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners would usually prefer to look at the patients themselves and diagnose them accordingly. The data from the medical records were usually just taken into reference.

Si Yiyan nodded.

Wen Xinya sat beside Si Yiyan and brewed some tea for them.

After finding out about Si Yiyan’s health condition, Du Shinan got straight to the point. “Your condition is rather tricky, and it would be easier to treat if you had come to me earlier. However, I’ll have to take your pulse and see your detailed condition.”

He had previously perused Si Yiyan’s medical record and found that he had suffered major damage to his chest and lungs. The reconstruction surgeries did not cure the root problem at all.

Wen Xinya got a little worried after hearing his words; even Old Mr. Du said that Si Yiyan’s condition was serious.

Si Yiyan remained calm and composed, however. He stuck his left hand out and said, “Please, Old Mr. Du.”

Du Shinan placed his hand on Si Yiyan’s wrist and closed his eyes to take his pulse.

Wen Xinya’s hands got sweaty because of her nervousness.

Si Yiyan could sense that she was feeling tense and hence, held her hand tightly in a bid to placate her emotions.

He was not afraid of exposing his relationship with Wen Xinya. After all, Old Mr. Du and Old Mr. Mo were close friends and Old Mr. Mo would definitely find out about him receiving treatment from Old Mr. Du in the long run. By then, there would be no way to hide their relationship and hence, he felt that there was no point in hiding.

Wen Xinya glanced at Si Yiyan nervously.

A while later, Du Shinan moved his hand away and said with a grim expression, “Let me take your pulse on your right hand.”

Si Yiyan stuck his right hand out.

However, Wen Xinya was getting increasingly nervous because of the expression on Old Mr. Du’s hand and her breathing even began to get irregular. She wanted to ask about Si Yiyan’s condition but was too afraid that she would disrupt Old Mr. Du from taking his pulse. Hence, she was stuck in a dilemma.

A long while later, Du Shinan finally let go of his hand.

Wen Xinya hurriedly asked, “Grandpa Du, how’s his body? Can his condition be treated?”

“His condition is far more severe than I had imagined, and I reckon that he won’t live past 50 years old if he continues to rely on reconstruction surgeries and blood drainage,” said Du Shinan, who had also noticed the changes in Wen Xinya’s expressions while he was taking Si Yiyan’s pulse. After observing the way they interacted with each other, he deduced that they must have had something going on, though he did not expose them.

He guessed that Old Mr. Mo had probably approved of them since they were so open about their relationship. Hence, it was not up to him to make any comments.

Wen Xinya’s heart skipped a beat and a sudden stuffiness filled her chest. She suddenly found it hard to breathe.

Si Yiyan raised his brows and remained silent.

Wen Xinya recovered from the shock and said agitatedly, “Grandpa Du, you must treat his condition.”

Du Shinan teased smilingly. “Lass, what are you getting so nervous for? Since he’s the person you’re in love with, I’ll definitely do my best to help. Otherwise, I won’t be able to answer to your Grampy.”

Du Shinan suddenly remembered that Old Mr. Mo used to have an apprentice whose last name was also Si. Later on, his son had even stayed with Old Mr. Mo for three years. Old Mr. Du reckoned that Si Yiyan must have been that apprentice’s son. It was little wonder that Old Mr. Mo would approve of him.

Wen Xinya immediately grew embarrassed and turned red.

Si Yiyan held her hand which was cold and clammy. He frowned slightly and thought that she must have been shocked by Old Mr. Du’s words. “Don’t worry, Old Mr. Du only said that it’s tricky, not incurable. Let’s hear what Old Mr. Du has to say first.”

Wen Xinya forced a lopsided smile and looked at Old Mr. Du. “Grandpa Du, he...”

Noticing that she seemed to be in total despair, Du Shinan interrupted. “His symptoms only become serious during relapses. Relapses can be prevented by paying more attention. It’s only a matter of time before he recovers after undergoing my treatment. So, you don’t have to worry. But...”

Wen Xinya panicked again and asked nervously, “But what?”

Si Yiyan held onto her hand and frowned.

Du Shinan said, “The treatment processes for such illnesses are usually unbearable, and you’ll experience a lot of pain and discomfort.”

Wen Xinya grew agitated upon hearing his words.

Si Yiyan answered calmly, “It’s alright. I’ll definitely cooperate with you.”

Mere discomfort was nothing compared to the temptation of being able to grow old with her. He was confident that he could overcome the pain. Besides, he had a high threshold for pain and he could bear with the excruciating pain that came with his relapses. What could be worse than that?

Du Shinan nodded and said, “For the time being, come to me for acupuncture treatments every three days. At the same time, I’ll also combine the treatments with some Traditional Chinese Medicine. I still have to go through some research to find a detailed treatment plan.”

Wen Xinya listened attentively to Du Shinan’s instructions, making sure not to miss out on any details.
