After Zhang Guifang was done writing her prescription, she handed it to Chen Xiuqi so he could go retrieve it from the pharmacist. After he got the medicine, the hospital decocted it for them. After it was done, they were divided into several bags. She would take one bag each time, and they’ll be ready after heating it up in hot water for a bit.
Chen Xiuqi brought back the medicine that was prepared early on and saw only Zhang Guifang in the office. He asked, “Auntie, where’s Yaya?”
Zhang Guifang looked up from her files and said, “She went to the bathroom.”
Chen Xiuqi put down the medicine and sat down on the stool at the side, waiting for her.

I can feel at ease when I see the two of you like this. I keep thinking you were still young like you were before, it’s hard to believe you’re married now.”
Chen Xiuqi laughed. “You make me sound like I’m still a child.”
Zhang Guifang told him, “You’ll always be a child in my eyes.”
Chen Xiuqi refuted, “Auntie, I’ve already been married for several months.”
Zhang Guifang nodded. “Yes, you’re married. You brought Yaya here this time because you plan to have a child, am I right? But Yaya’s current condition is not so good. It’s better for her to get better before the two of you try for one. It wouldn’t be too late.”
Chen Xiuqi frowned when he heard those words. “Nothing’s wrong with Yaya’s body, right?”
When Zhang Guifang saw how concerned he was about his wife, she smiled, “Just look at how nervous you are. There’s no big issues, don’t worry. As long as she rests well and takes her medicine on time, she’ll be fine after a while.”
Chen Xiuqi was clearly relaxed after hearing that. He said, “That’s good then!”
Well, isn’t he quite worried!
After Su Yaya returned from the bathroom, these were the words he heard Chen Xiuqi and Zhang Guifang talking about just as she reached the door.

Chen Xiuqi laughed. “You think you can trick me into having kids because cousin doesn’t want to have any? I won’t be fooled! If you want to raise a kid, go look for my cousin!”
Zhang Guifang was laughing as well. She pointed at him and said, “You two brothers! What am I going to...” But suddenly, she seemed to have seen a figure at the door. She quickly changed her tone. “Is Yaya back?”
When Yaya heard her voice, she knew she couldn’t stand at the door any longer. So, with a smile, she walked in and said, “Auntie, what were you two talking about that’s so funny?”
Zhang Guifang laughed and said, “We were just having a chat. Xiuqi says you don’t like eating medicine, but you still have to take it for the sake of your health. After you finish your course, come back and I’ll take a look at you again. This is all for your own good. Us women should take good care of ourselves, men don’t understand these things.”
Chen Xiuqi was unhappy to hear that. “Auntie, I’m sitting right there. If you teach my wife bad things, what am I going to do if Yaya doesn’t want to talk to me anymore? Are you going to pay me back a wife?”
Zhang Guifang laughed and pointed at him. “See, that’s what I mean! Can’t I say one word about you?” She put on an angry look and waved her hand at him. “Hurry and take your wife home, otherwise I’m going to turn your wife bad.”
But who knew that Chen Xiuqi would actually take this opportunity to say, “But of course!” He took Su Yaya’s hand and said goodbye to Zhang Guifang. “Well, we’ll be going now, auntie.”
