Chapter 297 - Li Han Calls
Here is Chapter 297 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God": After ending the call with Li Han, Chen Yang directly walked over to Yang Ruoxi.He... Donât miss it!
After ending the call with Li Han, Chen Yang directly walked over to Yang Ruoxi.
He wanted to ask if there was a conflict with her family.
But just as Chen Yang approached her, she spoke first.
âI know it was my sister who called and asked me to go back!
But I just donât want to return, nothing anyone says will make a difference.â
Yang Ruoxi stood up, her attitude very firm as she spoke.
Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, having never seen Yang Ruoxi like this before.
âWhatâs wrong, Ruoxi, did something happen at home?
Youâre so resistant to going back.â
Chen Yang patiently asked.
âHmph.â
Yang Ruoxi snorted heavily: âIâm just not going back.
I donât want to go back; I want to stay here.â
After saying that, she turned and went into the inner room, starting to refuse to communicate with Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was dumbfounded.
Everything had been fine just a moment ago; why did Yang Ruoxiâs attitude change so drastically after Li Hanâs call?
Forget about her.
First, go cook and eat, then find an opportunity to ask what the situation is.
Thinking this, Chen Yang followed her into the inner room.
But he did not enter the room; instead, he went straight to the kitchen to start preparing lunch.
Before long, Chen Yang had lunch ready.
And he called Yang Ruoxi out of her room to eat together.
During the meal, Chen Yang didnât ask why Yang Ruoxi didnât want to go home.
Because one look at her expression told him that she was still unhappy, somewhat resistant to the topic.
Chen Yang was also a perceptive person.
Knowing that Yang Ruoxi was resistant, he naturally didnât ask.
âEat more vegetables.â
Chen Yang placed a piece of meat into Yang Ruoxiâs bowl.
Yang Ruoxi nodded her head and started eating silently.
After lunch, the afternoon was rather boring.
Nothing to do.
The sun outside was blazing, and the temperature was very high.
Chen Yang, standing inside the clinic without even going out, could feel the intense heat from outside.
âIn this kind of weather, one really gets the urge to just soak in water the whole time.â
Chen Yang, with hands on hips, looked out at the bright sun and said.
Yang Ruoxi, sitting on a stool, glanced at Chen Yang and said nothing.
After maintaining this pose for a while, Chen Yang suddenly turned around: âRuoxi, how about we go swim in the county city, and incidentally return the car to your sister?â
âOkayâŚâ
Yang Ruoxi, upon hearing about swimming, seemed ready to agree immediately.
But then she thought about going to the county afterward and abruptly stopped, hesitating before shaking her head: âNo!
I donât want to go to the county city.
Youâre tricking me, trying to send me back.â
Yang Ruoxi huffed lightly and sat back down with arms crossed.
Her little face was visibly upset.
Seeing that his thoughts had been seen through by Yang Ruoxi, Chen Yang gave a sheepish smile and then moved closer.
âRuoxi, why wonât you go?
If you want to come play, there will be chances later, itâs not like youâre missing out on one or two days.â
Chen Yang began to counsel Yang Ruoxi, wanting to find out why she refused to go back.
At that point, Yang Ruoxi wasnât so resistant anymore.
âItâs because my dad is coming to the county city, so I donât want to go back.â
Yang Ruoxi said.
âWhy?
Why canât you go back if your dad is coming to the county city?
Even if you donât go, he will come to find you.â
Chen Yang asked, somewhat puzzled.
The moment Yang Ruoxi heard that her dad would come looking for her, her eyes instantly reddened.
âI just donât want to go back, even if he comes for me, Iâm not going back.
I refuse to be a sacrifice for business!
I wonât do it.â
Yang Ruoxi became emotional and started crying.
This caught Chen Yang off guard.
Why did she suddenly start crying?
Chen Yang had his ways with women, but when it came to a crying woman, he was at a loss.
He simply did not know how to comfort her.
âRuoxi, please donât cry!
Letâs talk it out.
If thereâs a problem, I can help you analyze it and figure out a solution.â
Chen Yang quickly reached out to pat Yang Ruoxiâs back, comforting her at the same time.
Still, Yang Ruoxi couldnât hold back and continued to cry incessantly.
Tears streamed down her face.
Seeing this, Chen Yang felt a pang of heartache and naturally wrapped his arms around Yang Ruoxi to comfort her.
Chen Yang soothed her like a child for a while until Yang Ruoxiâs emotions had calmed down somewhat.
Once she had calmed down, they parted.
With her eyes red, Yang Ruoxi looked into Chen Yangâs eyes.
After staring at each other for several seconds, she suddenly asked, âChen Yang, when you said you liked me last time, did you mean it?â
Chen Yang was taken aback at the moment.
He didnât understand why Yang Ruoxi would suddenly ask that.
But he nodded firmly anyway, âYeah, itâs true.â
âThen okay, since itâs true, donât let me go back.
Even if my dad comes, donât let me go back with him.â
Yang Ruoxiâs voice became choked again, but it was laced with determination.
Chen Yang fell silent for a few seconds, unable to help but ask, âWhy?
Thatâs your dad.
If he wants to take you away, I donât have the right to interfere.â
Yang Ruoxi choked up again, then said, âDonât ask about the reason, you just need to know that I absolutely cannot go back.â
As Yang Ruoxi spoke, she began to cry again.
Chen Yang couldnât stand to see her like this.
To stop Yang Ruoxi from crying again, Chen Yang could only nod in agreement.
âOkay, okay, I promise youâŚ
Iâll definitely help you stall for time, but I canât say for sure if itâll work,â Chen Yang reassured her.
Hearing Chen Yangâs promise, Yang Ruoxiâs mood improved slightly and she stopped crying.
âMm-hmm!â
Yang Ruoxi nodded her head, then fell silent.
Chen Yang reached out to wipe the tear stains from her face, teasing, âCanât we just talk?
Look at you, crying like a big calico cat, youâre not even pretty anymore.â
âI didnât want to cry, I just couldnât help it.â
Yang Ruoxi let out a laugh as she teased Chen Yang in return.
âHaha, alright, Iâve already agreed, so donât be upset anymore,â Chen Yang said with a laugh to comfort her.
Then he asked, âWhat do you want to eat tonight?
How about I make something delicious for you to eat?â
âAnd how about we invite the village chief over and have a nice dinner together?â
Yang Ruoxi readily nodded in agreement to Chen Yangâs suggestion.
And she mentioned that she felt like having hot pot.
âAll right, then letâs have a pheasant hot pot tonight, paired with the coldest drinks and sauces!â
Chen Yang agreed with a nod and then comforted Yang Ruoxi a few more times.
After making sure her mood had stabilized, Chen Yang said he was going to go out to prepare the ingredients.
âOkay, you go.
Iâll boil water for you at home.â
Yang Ruoxi nodded obediently and then stood up to go to the kitchen.
Chen Yang, on the other hand, left the clinic and walked toward the direction of the pheasant farm.
He caught a very plump hen from the pheasant farm and brought it back.
However, Chen Yang didnât head straight back to the clinic.
Instead, he took a detour to the village office first.
Seeing the door to the office was open, Chen Yang went straight up to the second floor with the pheasant in hand and entered the office.
Wu Kexin was in the office, working diligently.
Upon seeing Chen Yang, she immediately stood up.
âChen Yang, youâre here.
Did you check on the mountain today?
How are the crayfish doing?â
Wu Kexinâs first matter of business was to ask about the crayfish.
Chen Yang walked over to sit down opposite Wu Kexin and said with a smile, âThe crayfish are adapting well to the cave environment; theyâre living very well.â
âReally?
Thatâs great to hear.
I was worried something might go wrong with your crayfish,â Wu Kexin replied with a grin, sitting back down.
Then, with a smile, she asked, âYou didnât come over just to tell me about the crayfish, did you?
Is there something else?â
Wu Kexin was sharp, guessing Chen Yangâs intentions before he even spoke.
Chen Yang gave an awkward smile, âRight, there is something I need your help with.â
âWhy stand on ceremony with me?
Just tell me what it is.â
Wu Kexin was very straightforward.
