Medical Sovereign

Chapter 351 You’re My Older Sister?

Aunt Xian was very experienced, how could she not see through Shen Muqing’s desire to speak? Looks like this girl is in love. She rubbed her head affectionately and teased, “I wonder which boy is so lucky to have received our Muqing’s affections.”

A blush rose to Shen Muqing’s face. Bashfully, she coquettishly said, “Aunt Xiang, you’re making fun of me.”

“Haha, if only you girl could be my daughter-in-law.”

Aunt Xiang truly liked Shen Muqing from the bottom of her heart. Unfortunately, every time she remembered the childbride she had decided on, she immediately dismissed this thought.

Qianlie was just as good as Muqing. Most importantly, her background was simple and was not born into a large family like Shen Muqing. For Shen Muqing, her marriage was not something she could decide.

“Aunt Xiang, have you found your child?”

Shen Muqing asked timidly, afraid of touching on a sore spot.

She knew Aunt Xiang’s past quite well. She had courageously stood against her family in her marriage and defended her love faithfully until the end. Even after 20 years, she still felt no regret.

This was the reason Aunt Xiang could become her hero. In her bones, she strongly objected to marriages of convenience between large families. Particularly when she thought about her current situation with Ding Ning, she felt depressed.

She wanted to courageously say no to her arrange marriage like what Aunt Xiang did but she did not have the courage to object the fate. She was deeply afraid that the man she loved would be hurt because of this.

“Not yet.”

Aunt Xiang shook her head in distress but she was not as heartbroken as Shen Muqing had imagined. Perhaps enough time had passed that Aunt Xiang was used to it now, Shen Muqing thought to herself.

“Aunt Xiang, why are you living here?”

To avoid hurting Aunt Xiang, Shen Muqing deliberately changed the subject.

“I... came to see a friend but he was not home. I need to wait for him to come back. However, someone has sent people like dogs to keep an eye on me. Thus, I hid in here to wait for my friend’s return.”

A cold light flashed through Aunt Xiang’s face and she spoke through gritted teeth.

Shen Muqing started. She knew a few things about what happened in the past. She had not expected that that person had still not given up after all these years.

This filled her with sympathy for Aunt Xiang and made her impression of that person plummet. Unhappily, she pouted. “That’s too much, what right does he have to treat you this way? Fortunately, you didn’t marry him back then, otherwise, who knows what outrageous things he might have done?”

Aunt Xiang looked at her with soft eyes. “Muqing, you have to promise me one thing. Don’t tell anyone about seeing me here, otherwise, my friend will suffer.”

“Rest assured, Aunt Xiang, I won’t tell anyone, including my parents.”

Shen Muqing promised with sincerity then immediately urged, “Aunt Xiang, hurry and eat. The food is almost cold.”

“It’s alright, I’m not that hungry. It’s just doesn’t feel right not to call for something when it’s time to eat.”

Aunt Xiang held Shen Muqing’s hand. “You’re almost graduated, right? What are your plans for after?”

“I’m much better now. Recently, I’m been preparing for an advertising company. After all, I studied advertising design. I need to apply what I’ve learned, and only in this way can I realize the value of my life...”

Shen Muqing described her grand plan to her excitedly. Many of her unique insights moved Aunt Xiang. This girl really has her own plans; she’s a talent.

As the leader of a commercial company, Aunt Xiang told her all she knew and explained everything she did not understand. Shen Muqing felt that she had learned a great deal and listened even more humbly.

Two beautiful women, one old and one young, chatted happily. Without them knowing, time passed into the late afternoon. Shen Muqing looked at the dim light in the room and gave a cry of surprise. “Ah, it’s already so late.”

“Haha, go do what you need to do. In any case, my friend hasn’t come back yet. I’ll wait here for him.”

Aunt Xiang said with a laugh.

Shen Muqing bit her lip and quietly said, “I don’t actually have anything to do. One of my friends went somewhere recently, I just wanted to see if he had come back.”

No one knew that Shen Muqing had long been quietly watching Ding Ning. The second day Ding Ning went to the deserted island, Shen Muqing discovered he was gone. Each evening, she would habitually go check.

“Is it your little boyfriend?” Aunt Xiang teased with a smile.

A blush rose to Shen Muqing’s face and she said, with embarrassment, “Aunt Xiang, if you keep teasing me, I’ll ignore you.”

“Ah, are you embarrassed? Haha, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Go find your little lover.”

Aunt Xiang looked at Shen Muqing being embarrassed and thought to herself that it was good to be young. Even if she could not escape the fate of her family’s arranged marriage, at least, she truly loved once during her youth. She would not have any regrets this lifetime.

“Then I’ll leave now, Aunt Xiang. I bring you something good to eat later and I’ll chat with you at night.”

Shen Muqing waved her hands and said with a smile.

“Alright, I’m sick and tired of takeout, bring me something good.”

Aunt Xiang thought for a while. She had no idea when Ding Ning would be back, so she might as well have Shen Muqing keep her company.

“Then wait for me, I’ll be back soon!”

Shen Muqing left excitedly. She loved peace and quiet but when she was with Aunt Xiang, she felt like she had endless things to say just like when she was with Ding Ning.

In particular, Ding Ning and Aunt Xiang gave her a very similar feeling. Huh, Shen Muqing paused, it seemed that they looked a little similar too.

Shen Muqing shook her head and didn’t continue that line of thought. One was the proud daughter of a powerful tribe in Yan Jing and the other was a young man from a south-western town, so they were nothing alike. How could there be any connection between them?

“Ding!”

Moments after Shen Muqing left, the doorbell rang again. Aunt Xiang shook her head with a small laugh. How could Muqing be back so quickly? Did she forget something?

Opening the door, Aunt Xiang looked at the person in shock. “Knife Scar? Why are you here?”

“Madam! Young master is back.”

Knife Scar looked at Aunt Xiang excited and spoke respectfully.

The always calm Aunt Xiang suddenly froze. Before Ding Ning returned, she thought of him day and night but now that she was going to see him, she felt nervous. This was probably what was meant by returning home with complicated feelings. Aunt Xiang took a deep breath as her heart leaped wildly. Not sure where to put her hands, she asked in a trembling voice, “Is, is he well?”

“The young master is doing very well. He’s in the university laboratory doing experiments.”

Knife Scar did his best to keep his voice calm.

“Wait for me outside for a moment; I... I’m going to change.”

Aunt Xiang’s emotions were very complicated right now. She forced herself to calm down and rushed to her bedroom to dress up.

Knife Scar’s mouth moved as if to speak but stopped again. He wanted to tell her that there was no need to dress up, the young master would not see you.

But in the end, he didn’t say anything. He quietly closed the door and waited downstairs. He could understand madam’s nervousness right now. After all, he was her son that she had not seen for more than 20 years. Even if she could only see him from a distance, she wanted to show the best part of herself.

Ding Ning stretched and looked at the bottles of medicine on the test bench with a faint smile on his face. After repeated experiments, he had finally successfully created a new and stable medicine. Now, he only had to hand it to the relevant departments for clinical trials then they could start mass-producing it.

“Brother, eat first.”

Luoxue had already prepared dinner. Seeing the smile on Ding Ning’s face, she felt very happy. “Brother, why are you so happy? Have you succeeded with the new medicine?”

“Yes. Luoxue, give the new medicine a name. According to precedent in the medical world, each time a new medicine is created, the researcher has the right to name it.”

Ding Ning spoke unclearly as he shoved rice and food into his mouth. Luoxue’s cooking skills had improved again.

“I don’t know how to give it a name. You created it, so you should give it a name. Why don’t we call it Ding Ning’s medicine?”

Luoxue suggested happily.

“No way, my name is not suitable for use as a medicine.”

Ding Ning shook his head with a smile and said thoughtfully, “The new medicine is mostly made up of two micro-organisms, rice and bean sprouts. It is combined with the medicinal properties of 17 additional Chinese herbal medicines to form an orally taken medicine. How about we call it Rice Bean Oral Solution?”

“Whatever you say. Wasn’t there a Cow Bean Vaccine before? Rice Bean is also very good.”

Luoxue blinked her large eyes. She had no objection to such a low-class name. In her heart, as long as it was a name Ding Ning came up with, it was always good.

Ding Ning never had much talent for coming up with names. Very pleased with himself, he said, “Then we’ll call it Rice Bean.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Ning’s face darkened. Looking toward the door, he said in a harsh voice, “Who’s there?”

The shadowy figure outside the door flashed away. Without thinking, Ding Ning put away the Rice Bean medicine and ran outside. As he left, he hurriedly reminded Luoxue, “Luoxue, be careful, I’ll be back soon.”

“Brother...”

Luoxue was just about to say something when Ding Ning disappeared from in front of her eyes. Furrowing her brows, strange sounds came from her mouth. The crow, Xiaohei, appeared from nowhere and flew intimately around Luoxue.

“Xiaohei, follow brother and have a look.”

Luoxue ordered uneasily. Without a word, Xiaohei flew out and chased after Ding Ning.

The further Ding Ning chased, the tighter his brows furrowed together. The figure in front was broad and strong, the figure wore a hat and mouth-mask so their face could not be clearly seen. They ran at a steady pace and regularly turned back to glance at him. They did not run as wildly as Ding Ning thought they would. On the contrary, the person headed toward the biggest crowds of people as if they were purposely drawing him out.

Who was this person? Why did they come to peek at the laboratory? Did they want to find out how far the development had gone? Or did they have other motives?

In the crowd, Ding Ning could not chase as fast as he wanted to avoid shocking those around him. He could only stay behind the person and follow from a distance.

The figure stopped by the entrance to a small community near the school and turned to watch Ding Ning calmly.

Ding Ning approached him warily. Staring intently into their eyes, he said in a cold voice, “Who are you?”

The man suddenly reached out and lifted the mask on his face, revealing a face Ding Ning was slightly familiar with. With a smile, he respectfully said, “You are more and more alert.”

“It’s you?” Ding Ning looked at the knife scar on the man’s face and cried out in surprise.

“I didn’t expect you to still remember me.”

Knife Scar glanced at Ding Ning with surprise. After all, when he first appeared, Ding Ning had already fainted. It was not an easy feat for him to remember his appearance.

“You’re with my sister?”

Ding Ning’s voice trembled and he suddenly felt much panicked. Was his sister, whose face was always hidden, finally about to meet him?

Knife Scar’s expression was startled, he had not thought that the young master would know of the young lady’s existence. It looked like they had still underestimated the young master.

“Crunch!”

A Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped beside. With red-rimmed eyes, Ding Qianlie got out from the car and cried out in a trembling voice, “Brother!”

“You’re my sister?”

Ding Ning’s entire body trembled. Looking at the beautiful woman, the mysterious sense of familiarity removed his last trace of doubt. Like an aggrieved child, tears fell from his eyes.
