Chapter 157: Brother Qin Is Quite Capable

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In private conversations, they all suspected that Shen Junqing had some issues in a certain area, and he deliberately dated one girlfriend after another just to save face for his man.

To conceal the truth of his inadequacy.

But given his generosity and good looks, it’s understandable that they would help him hide this truth. They would just talk among themselves and tease him about it.

If Shen Junqing knew that his lifelong reputation was nonexistent among these women, who knows how he would feel.

After they finally left, Shen Junqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Nan Yan expectantly, “Yan Yan, did you manage to create that medicine?”

After spending a day in the hospital, Shen Junqing was going crazy.

He always enjoyed being social and couldn’t stay put. Now, because of his broken bones, he could only lie in bed, and this torment was beyond words.

“Yes, here you go.”

Nan Yan took out a small jar from her bag.

“Apply it once in the morning and once in the evening, and in about ten days, your bones will heal.”

Shen Junqing was left speechless by her words, holding the white jar in his hands, he exclaimed, “Yan Yan, you’re truly amazing!”

Bone healing generally takes 100 days.

He thought even with Nan Yan’s help, it would take at least a month for him to recover faster.

But she said ten days!

This was simply magical!

Nan Yan sat by the bedside and said casually, “The herbs I used weren’t from the best year, so the effect might be a bit weaker. If I could find herbs from the right year, it would only take three days.”

Shen Junqing:

Ten days were already an incredible feat, and now she was saying that the effect might not be good enough?

Shen Junqing’s eyes shimmered as he stared at Nan Yan with his charming peach blossom eyes. “Yan Yan, how did you become so skilled in medicine?”

“You haven’t even seen my real abilities, and you think I’m skilled just based on this?” Nan Yan responded with a nonchalant smile.

If only he knew how capable she truly was, they wouldn’t have met under such circumstances.

She wouldn’t have ended up dead in the laboratory, allowing Xi Shijin to take credit for the potions she had developed, receiving praise from the world and enjoying the highest treatment…

As Shen Junqing gazed at her, he somehow sensed a trace of melancholy in her smile.

“Of course, you’re skilled.” He placed his hand on her head, his voice carrying a touch of compassion. “Yan Yan, among all the girls I’ve met, you’re the most talented.”

Nan Yan’s emotions came and went swiftly.

Feeling the touch on her head, she glanced at him wordlessly, then pulled his hand away. “What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it to you tonight.”

Shen Junqing, feeling a bit rejected, twiddled his fingers in a downcast manner and tentatively asked, “Can I push my luck a bit and ask for a meal that you’ve personally cooked?”

He felt that Nan Yan was upset for some reason.

He needed to be sure.

“You’re really not easy to please.” Nan Yan replied expressionlessly, “I can make it myself, but it might take a bit longer. If you’re patient enough, then sure.”

Nan Yan treated those who treated her well with kindness. Making a meal was just a small effort, not a big deal.

If he wanted it, she would make it.

“I’ll wait no matter how long!”

“If you don’t have anything else to do, I’m heading back now.”

Glancing at the time, there was about three hours left. That was enough to make a pot of bone soup.

Shen Junqing hurriedly nodded. “Sis, take care on your way.”

Returning to the old mansion, Nan Yan headed for the kitchen.

No matter what, it was just a meal. Nan Yan simply made more and also cooked for Grandpa An.

Considering that Qin Lu had occasionally come for meals recently, Nan Yan

also added an extra bowl of rice to the rice cooker.

The chef at the side was getting anxious.

Did Miss Nan Yan think his cooking was bad, prompting her to take over?

Would Grandpa An fire them?

Not daring to disturb Grandpa An, the chef secretly called Tian Yi.

Tian Yi came over right away.

“Miss, you shouldn’t be cooking yourself. Just tell the chef what you want, and he can handle it!”

“If you’re not satisfied with their dishes, I can assure you that Chef Zhou is from a five-star restaurant and is skilled in various cuisines!”

Nan Yan explained, “Tian Yi, Chef Zhou’s cooking is delicious. It’s just that a friend of mine wanted to eat something I personally made. Since he’s not feeling well, I agreed.’

Tian Yi nodded understandingly, “I see…”

Chef Zhou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this explanation.

“Miss Nan Yan, let me assist you.”

He couldn’t bear watching her cook while he stood by idly.

Nan Yan didn’t refuse him. She asked him to help with washing and cutting the ingredients.

Watching Nan Yan’s skilled movements, Tian Yi couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

He rubbed his eyes and decided to stay and help as well.

With their help in preparing the ingredients, Nan Yan’s burden was considerably lightened.

When the bone soup was nearly done, she started stir-frying the vegetables.

Soon, a table of eight dishes and a soup were ready.

Nan Yan found a food container and packed the dishes she had prepared for Shen Junqing, then said, “Tian Yi, I’m going to the hospital to see a friend. You can have dinner with Grandpa An. No need to wait for me.” Tian Yi hastily replied, “Sure, Miss.”

In the living room, Qin Lu was playing chess with Grandpa An.

Tian Yi approached and said, “Sir, Miss personally cooked dinner today. Would you like to have it now?”

“Yan Yan cooked?” Grandpa An’s expression changed slightly. “We have chefs at home; there’s no need for her to cook.”

“Miss said her friend is sick and wanted to eat something she made herself, so she cooked for him.” Tian Yi explained, then added, “It seems that this friend is quite important to Miss.”

Qin Lu guessed who that “friend” was.

Only now did Grandpa An’s expression ease. He put down the chess piece and stood up, saying, “Let’s go have dinner quickly. Don’t let Yan Yan’s food get

cold.”

“Ah Lu, are you joining too?”

“No,” Qin Lu replied with a gentle smile. “Yan Yan’s friend happens to be someone I know as well. I’ll accompany her to the hospital.”

Nan Yan changed her clothes and had just come downstairs when she heard his voice.

Sure enough, Brother Qin was here again.

Nan Yan descended the stairs and said, “Grandpa, you should go have your meal. Let Brother take me to the hospital.”

“Go ahead,” Grandpa An said with a smile, “With Ah Lu by your side, I can be at ease.”

Qin Lu stood up and walked over to Nan Yan. He addressed Grandpa An, “I’ll be by her side, you can rest assured.”

Observing Grandpa An’s unusually warm attitude toward Qin Lu, Nan Yan couldn’t help but think: Brother Qin is quite capable.

Even though he wasn’t easy to approach, he managed to be respectful and amiable in front of Grandpa An.

He was really making an effort to join them for a meal, just to enjoy some food.

In the car.

Nan Yan fastened her seatbelt and glanced at the man beside her.

Raising an eyebrow, she leisurely asked, “Brother, did you delegate all your work to Wu Yue? That’s why you’re so free to hang out with me?”

Or else, how could he be so free, hanging around her?
