169 Leaving Without Saying Farewell

The next morning, the moment Shen Yao walked out of the door, he happened to see the carriage not far away. Just as he was feeling puzzled, Qin Minghong lifted the curtain and bowed as he got out of the carriage.

Suspicion flashed across Shen Yao's eyes, but his expression remained the same. Just as he was about to pretend not to see this person, Qin Minghong leaned over—

“I wonder if Brother Shen's health is better?” Qin Minghong raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. His seemingly concerned tone hid a deeper meaning. “Brother Shen is already injured. If you're sick again, then Miss Ah Tao is really too pitiful.”

“Young Master Qin, you're overthinking,” Shen Yao replied expressionlessly. “Ah Tao and I are husband and wife. It's our duty as husband and wife to take care of each other. Besides, how can outsiders discuss our matters?”

Shen Yao deliberately emphasized the word ‘outsider'. As expected, Qin Minghong's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

In the end, Qin Minghong squeezed out a smile and walked past him, preparing to knock on the Shen family's door.

Shen Yao immediately grabbed his arm, his cold eyes emitting waves of coldness. “Young Master Qin, my family doesn't welcome you.”

“Previously, Miss Ah Tao asked me to do something. Now that the matter has been resolved, I just want to tell her personally.” Seeing the anger in his eyes, the smile in Qin Minghong's eyes deepened. “Brother Shen, why are you so nervous? Or is Brother Shen not confident to begin with? After all, Miss Ah Tao is beautiful, kind-hearted, and has outstanding culinary skills. How can someone like Miss Ah Tao be buried in this narrow courtyard?”

“Ha.” Shen Yao chuckled. The mockery in his tone was self-evident. “I just don't want Young Master Qin to disturb Ah Tao. She was too tired last night and is still asleep. Isn't it too immoral to disturb her sleep early in the morning?”

“Too tired last night?” Qin Minghong's attention was focused on this ambiguous sentence. Coupled with the smug look in Shen Yao's eyes, he could not help but feel a little disappointed.

Could it be that Ah Tao had already consummated their marriage?

Just as Qin Minghong was letting his imagination run wild, Zhao Lanhua's voice sounded in the courtyard—

“Ah Tao, go back to your room and lie down! Women need to rest more when they're on their period.”

“Mother, I'm really fine. I'm really bored lying alone in the house. By the way, Mother, did you see Shen Yao?”

“I don't know. She went out early in the morning, right? Be good and go back to your room to rest. I'll make breakfast today!”

Qin Minghong, who happened to hear this conversation, raised his eyebrows silently.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, Shen Yao pushed it open first.

“Ah Tao, Young Master Qin is here.” Shen Yao hurried to her side and smiled gently.

“Young Master Qin?” Ji Zhao saw Qin Minghong standing outside the door. Although she was a little surprised, she still welcomed him into the central room.

Soon, Zhao Lanhua brought breakfast to the table, not forgetting to prepare a portion for Qin Minghong.

“It's a simple meal. I wonder if someone like Young Master Qin, who is used to eating delicacies, is used to it?” Shen Yao smiled and asked gently.

Qin Minghong naturally did not miss the sharpness hidden in his eyes.

“Clear porridge and side dishes are good for the stomach.” Qin Minghong could not help but smile. “Besides, it's a different feeling to be able to share breakfast with Miss Ah Tao and Brother Shen.”

Shen Yao lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm in them. He lowered his head and started peeling the eggs.

Finally, he placed the shelled egg into the bowl in front of Ji Zhao.

“Thank you, hubby!” Ji Zhao smiled brightly.

She was not stupid. How could she not see that these two men were hiding knives in their words?

However, Shen Yao was her husband and her lover, so of course she would support him unconditionally!

As expected, Shen Yao smiled when he heard her call him ‘hubby'.

The anger that had been lingering in his heart instantly disappeared.

Although Qin Minghong was unhappy, he still maintained a gentle smile on his face.

The rest of the Shen family did not speak.

After all, the atmosphere at this moment was a little strange.

After breakfast, Qin Minghong went straight to the point. “Miss Ji, I've already found out the name of the miracle doctor I told you about.”

“Really?” Ji Zhao asked excitedly, “Please tell me, Young Master Qin?”

“That miracle doctor specializes in treating chronic illnesses. His name is Immortal Crane.”

“Is it really Immortal Crane?” Ji Zhao stood up excitedly and asked impatiently, “Then can we find out the whereabouts of this Immortal Crane?”

Ji Zhao remembered that the famous doctor who cured Shen Yao's leg in the original work was Immortal Crane!

If they could find Immortal Crane earlier, Shen Yao's leg would recover earlier!

Qin Minghong did not expect Ji Zhao to be so excited after hearing the name of this miracle doctor. However, this was a good thing for him.

“Immortal Crane travels the world, and his whereabouts are even more unpredictable.” Qin Minghong sighed sadly. “It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens for ordinary people to find him.”

Ji Zhao lowered her eyes in disappointment. In the end, she nodded slightly. “I understand.”

After all, otherworldly experts were elusive!

“But if Miss Ji really wants to find Immortal Crane, I will help.” Qin Minghong looked into her eyes and promised solemnly.

“Alright.” Ji Zhao smiled gratefully. “Then I'll thank Young Master Qin in advance.”

“You're welcome.”

After Qin Minghong left, Shen Yao walked up to her and frowned slightly. “Ah Tao, are you determined to find that Immortal Crane for me?”

“Mm.” Ji Zhao nodded frankly. “That Immortal Crane is best at treating chronic illnesses. I think if I can find him earlier, I might be able to help you? I…”

Before Ji Zhao could finish speaking, Shen Yao had already turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Ji Zhao blinked blankly.

When it was almost noon, she did not see Shen Yao again.

“Mother, where did Shen Yao go?”

“Ah Tao, didn't Third Brother tell you?” Zhao Lanhua, who was picking vegetables, was also stunned. “Third Brother went to visit his classmate from before and said that he would only be back in three to five days.”

Ji Zhao did not expect Shen Yao to leave without saying goodbye.

She suddenly felt bitter. That feeling was not good.

“Ah Tao, your father said that the Earth Temple construction will begin tomorrow. Shall we go over tomorrow morning to take a look?” Zhao Lanhua did not notice the change in Ji Zhao's mood. She chuckled and suggested, “It just so happens that tomorrow is an auspicious day. Your father means to buy more firecrackers. Mother will bring you along at noon?”

“Mother, I'm not feeling well. I want to go back to my room and lie down.”

Ji Zhao returned to her room and her gaze inadvertently landed on the withered hibiscus flower. A trace of sadness suddenly arose in her heart.

She really did not understand what Shen Yao meant.

Why did he leave without saying goodbye?

Didn't they already confirm each other's feelings?

The more Ji Zhao thought about it, the more upset she felt. In the end, she simply covered her face with the blanket and cried hard.

Shen Yao, how dare you treat me like this? I don't want to talk to you anymore!

Ji Zhao swore in her heart!

At that moment, Shen Yao, who was on the road, could not help but sneeze.

In the end, he shook his head with a bitter smile and continued east.

Unknowingly, it was already dusk.

Zhao Lanhua stood outside the door and called out several times, but she did not hear Ji Zhao's response. She was instantly worried. She thought for a moment and hurriedly pushed open the door.
