Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Yueyue, brother has missed you so much

A few apprentice boys scattered instantly, like birds and beasts, before Qi Yue slowly made her way to the consultation table.

“Apprentice… apprentice…”

Only when Huang Zai’an called out did Qi Yue snap out of her dazed state of mind.

Huang Zai’an smiled meaningfully, “Apprentice, can you handle it? Don’t diagnose the illness incorrectly, or perhaps you and your man should go back first, and I’ll take over here?”

“Master, could you please not talk nonsense!”

Seeing that Huang Zai’an was about to say more, Qi Yue quickly signaled the apprentices outside to invite the emergency patients in.

“Yes.”

As the first patient entered, Qi Yue also became fully engaged in the consultation.

Although the sudden appearance of Zhao Xiyan left her unsettled, the patients’ needs were paramount; as a doctor with medical ethics, she would never allow a misdiagnosis to occur!

Before she knew it, the morning had passed, and only when her stomach growled with hunger did Qi Yue finish her round of morning consultations.

It was strange.

As soon as her mind had a moment to rest, Zhao Xiyan’s image would immediately appear.

“Ah, I forgot about him.”

Qi Yue hurried to the parlor and found Zhao Xiyan deeply engrossed in a book, “The Art of War by Sun Tzu”.

As she approached, she saw him shake his hand without lifting his head.

“There’s no need for tea!”

His voice was like broken jade, pleasant to the ear yet exuding an irresistible force.

The afternoon sunlight streamed down from the atrium, falling upon the front eaves, soft and radiant.

One particularly mischievous beam danced through the window lattice and merged into the clothing on his body, the color of moonlight, leaving no trace to be found.

Qi Yue’s gaze landed on the brow and eyes covered by the half-rolled book, and she too became somewhat absent-minded.

This was the first time she had seen him dressed completely in moon-white attire.

She recalled the journey from the Capital City, when he had worn tattered clothing. Every time she saw him back then, she thought to herself, “If Zhao Xiyan wore white, all other men would look like a flock of black crows”.

Now seeing him like this, he truly did not disappoint.

He was like a gentleman with the luster of jade, radiantly outstanding, rivaling the sun and moon in splendor.

While she was thinking this, Zhao Xiyan suddenly looked up, his usually expressionless face breaking into a smile.

“Yueyue, is that you? Have you finished with your work?”

Startled by his radiant smile, Qi Yue instantly snapped back to reality.

“Yes, are you hungry?”

Zhao Xiyan closed the book and stood up, approaching her with a smile still on his face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yueyue, you must be exhausted after such a busy morning, right?”

Feeling his good mood and his proximity, Qi Yue hastily took a step back.

“Not really, I’m used to it. Let’s go home.”

The moment those words left her mouth, Qi Yue immediately felt awkward.

Go home? It sounded as if they were returning to a home they shared.

She glanced over at Zhao Xiyan and saw that he looked excited, as if he hadn’t found anything amiss with her words.

“Yes, let’s go home.”

Qi Yue didn’t want to deliberately interpret further, so she quickly led him through the side door and back to the house.

No sooner had they entered the door than a white figure rushed over.

“Yueyue, brother has missed you so much, you’re finally…”

Seeing Qu Wei appear so suddenly and with a look of astonishment, Qi Yue was also taken aback.

“How did you get here?”

“I naturally missed you,” Qu Wei said to her, but his eyes were challengingly fixed on Zhao Xiyan.

“Why is he here? He didn’t also come because he missed you, did he?”

Qi Yue found these words to be in bad taste and immediately pulled him aside.

“Will you stop talking nonsense? What are you really here for? Weren’t you on your way to the Capital City?”

Qu Wei snorted and continued to look provocatively at Zhao Xiyan.

“And him? The whole world knows he’s in the Capital City, the prestigious Great General and Young Marquis Zhao Xiyan. This one couldn’t be an impostor, could he?”

Qi Yue had enough.

She really didn’t understand what Qu Wei was on about, always singling out Zhao Xiyan like this. She quietly scolded him a few times in a low voice.

“You shut your mouth. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll have someone throw you out.”

Qu Wei immediately clammed up.

Throughout this, although Zhao Xiyan didn’t make a sound, his complexion gradually turned sour.

Qi Yue didn’t know what else to say and hurriedly called him to have a meal.

They arrived at the dining hall one after the other, where the old lady Zhang had already received Qi Yue’s instructions and prepared a variety of dishes.

As soon as Qu Wei sat at the table, he started bellowing and shouting orders.

One moment he’d complain he didn’t like a dish, the next he’d say he was sick of another, much to Qi Yue’s annoyance.

“Eat if you are going to eat; if not, go back to your place.”

At these words, Qu Wei immediately toned it down but found another way to cause trouble.

Seeing Qi Yue place a plate of meat and bamboo shoots in front of Zhao Xiyan, he immediately cried out.

“Yueyue, I like that dish too. Why won’t you let me have more?”

Qi Yue directly ordered old lady Zhang, “Mama Zhang, fry another plate of bamboo shoots.”

Soon, the bamboo shoots were served, and Qu Wei was finally satisfied.

After the meal, Qi Yue felt utterly exhausted.

She was about to ask Qu Wei about his plans when he took the initiative to make a request.

“Yueyue, I’ve come a long way. You can’t expect me to stay outside, can you? Get someone to arrange a comfortable place for me to stay.”

Seeing his entitled demeanor, Qi Yue was furious.

“Only a standard guest room. Take it or leave.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Zhao Xiyan chiming in.

“Yueyue, I’m not fussy. Any place will do for me.”

Hearing that he wasn’t leaving, Qi Yue’s heart beat like a drum.

“You, you’re staying?”

“Yes.”

Zhao Xiyan’s gaze swept past Qu Wei with an indifferent expression, as if to say if he decided to stay, he would stay.

Qi Yue’s mouth twitched.

What was he doing?

Was he announcing that he was her ex-husband, to cut off all of the unwanted suitors around her?

Seeing the strong undercurrent between the two men, Qi Yue quickly instructed old lady Zhang to arrange guest rooms for Zhao Xiyan and Qu Wei to rest, and she herself swiftly escaped.

There were many things she wanted to ask Zhao Xiyan, but with Qu Wei around, she couldn’t bring herself to ask anything.

The guy was like a dark cloud, constantly watching her interactions with Zhao Xiyan.

But maybe it was for the best.

His presence avoided a lot of awkwardness that might have occurred in his absence.

Qi Yue returned to her own room and, as usual, entered the space to feed the two sizes of White Rhino and played with them for a while.

She thought about getting some sleep, but she was as energized as if she’d been injected with adrenaline, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. On a whim, she got up from the bed and took out the divorce paper from the cabinet.

After reading the divorce decree twice more, she sighed deeply.

“Zhao Xiyan, it seems that I am the one who, like a silkworm, silently spins out the last thread, trapping myself in a cocoon.”

Thinking of Zhao Xiyan brought a wave of sadness to her heart.

Unable to sleep, she decided to get up and go to the study room.

The items she had collected from Hu Chengxuan’s house numbered in the thousands, and it would take time to list them all for sale.

She planned to list some items each day, sell them all, and convert them into space-time currency.

After busying herself for a while and listing about fifty items, she felt tired and stopped.

Just as she got up, she heard a soft knock on the door.

“Yueyue, are you awake?”
