Chu Keqing gave money to Boss Fang and the internet café owner, though it was because she used a spell to bluff them, but the money ultimately passed through her hands, not given directly by him.
Hmm, kind of a loophole.
But, it seems like it doesn’t completely solve his problem.
Especially with those who are close to him.
Not to mention Gu Qingyi, she’s a Celestial Being and wouldn’t stay in this world for long.
She’s going to be my girlfriend in the future.
But I can’t spend money on her?
Even if Lu Sisi isn’t a material girl, who doesn’t spend money in a relationship?
Eating out, shopping, watching movies, all cost money, don’t they?
And in the future, if they check into a hotel, should the girl foot the bill?
I’m living in a mansion, with millions in the bank... yet I can’t spend on my girlfriend?
Wouldn’t I just be seen as a cheap guy by some people?
One shouldn’t be too extreme. Spending excessively on a girl is foolish.
But being stingy to your girlfriend isn’t something good either.
Chen Yan and Young Lady Gu spent the day lying at home.
Gu Qingyi didn’t move a chair to the yard to catch the wind and sun anymore...
Showing off your Celestial Human Body!
Chen Yan chuckled to himself.
A cold isn’t something that medicine can cure. Medicine can only alleviate the symptoms.
The entire day, the two lay in their rooms, only getting up for meals, discussing the menu over WeChat, and then ordering takeout.
In the evening, while Chen Yan was lying in his room, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring downstairs.
He was puzzled. I haven’t ordered takeout yet.
He struggled out of bed and slowly made his way downstairs.
This cold felt quite intense, the Heavenly Dao’s backlash curse was worse than an ordinary cold.
He checked the door camera and saw an old man with a mischievous grin standing outside – it was his neighbor Old Deng, Lin Qingquan!
Chen Yan pressed the intercom: "Old Man Lin, what’s up?"
"Saw your lights on after the new year, figured you were back. Just dropped by to wish you a happy new year." Lin Qingquan smiled cheerfully.
Chen Yan opened the electronic gate: "The gate is open, come on in."
A moment later, Lin Qingquan walked into the villa, Chen Yan stood by the door, wrapped in a blanket.
Lin Qingquan glanced at Chen Yan and asked with a smile, "Young man, are you sick?"
"Yeah, I caught a cold," Chen Yan sighed. "It’s not that I’m being impolite, but could you please go back? I’m worried I might infect you. I’ll visit you another day to wish you a happy new year."
"I’m already here, what’s there to be afraid of? I’ve been practicing medicine all my life, seen more patients than you’ve seen people."
The old man swaggered in, carrying a gift box which seemed to contain some longan or lychee.
Chen Yan glanced at it and laughed.
The old man knew his manners, didn’t come empty-handed.
"I’d say, you’re quite something. I’m so old, and we’re quite close despite the age gap. You come back after the new year, don’t even think of visiting old me to wish a new year."
"Yet I, an old man, have to come to your place!"
Lin Laodeng sat in the living room, glaring at Chen Yan, "Come over! Since I’m here, let me check that illness of yours."
"Ah? Oh! Okay!" Chen Yan smiled and walked over, politely adding: "It’s my bad. I just got back a couple of days ago, been busy with things, and then I got sick. You’re right, I should’ve visited you first."
Lin Laodeng grunted: "Stretch out your hand."
Chen Yan took a deep breath, sat on the sofa, and slowly extended his hand.
The old man pressed his finger on Chen Yan’s wrist to check his pulse, then asked him to open his mouth and checked his eyelids.
"I mean, no need for treatment. Just a cold, it will go away naturally in a few days. If you feel bad, just order some cold medicine online and take it..."
What the f*ck... that’s it, you had to say that?!
Chen Yan looked at Lin Laodeng: "Is this how you usually treat people?"
"Small ailments don’t need treatment, big illnesses are incurable." Lin Qingquan said firmly.
Chen Yan glared: "That medical license of yours in the United States, did you buy it?"
Lin Laodeng spread his hands: "That’s how it is. Only not-too-big or not-too-small illnesses are worth treating properly."
However, the old man then laughed: "If you don’t want to take Western medicine, I can write you a prescription. Get the herbs and take them, it won’t cure you completely, but you’ll feel much better."
Lin Laodeng looked offended: "Have I ever lied to you? Remember the prescription I gave you last time, did it not work?"
Thinking about it, Chen Yan agreed.
The old man’s prescriptions were indeed effective. Even the medical license he had at home was real.
Last time, it wasn’t the prescription that was the problem, it was that the medicine Chu Keqing brought was too potent. But after taking it, the problem of excess energy and blood was indeed alleviated.
"Wait here. I have another patient at home, you can check on them too."
After saying that, Chen Yan went upstairs, knocked on the door, and brought Gu Qingyi out after explaining the situation. A moment later, she came downstairs.
She was wrapped in a blanket, wearing furry slippers, with a children’s fever patch on her forehead – decorated with a few dogs from "PAW Patrol."
