"Brother, I'm thirsty..."
Before Ning Xi could finish speaking, she realized sothing was wrong.
Her mother seed to still be here...
Oh no!
Instantly, a deep red flush spread across her delicate face. Feeling guilty, she turned her head to look at her mother.
Lan Xi had a strange expression. Though she was secretly amused, her face showed no sign of it. "I'll go get so wine. Xiao Xi, you mustn't steal any food, okay?"
Without waiting for her daughter to respond, she quickly walked out of the dining room, leaving the two young people alone.
"Brother?"
Lan Xi murmured to herself, "Things are developing quite fast, huh!"
Watching her mother's departing figure, Ning Xi sat down on the chair, looking miserable, resting her chin on her hands, and muttering, "This is so embarrassing! Mom is definitely going to misunderstand..."
Why did she blurt that out just now?
Ahhhh—
She wanted to die!!!
Ye Fan's lips curled into a smile as he walked to the refrigerator in the corner, found so honey, and made a cup of honey water, placing it in front of Ning Xi. "Stop overthinking. Drink this first."
"This is all your fault!"
"My fault?"
Facing Ning Xi's resentful gaze, Ye Fan was confused and asked, "Xiao Xi, you were the one who called 'brother' just now. How is this my fault..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed the girl's high-pouted red lips. Imdiately, he changed his tone.
"You're right! It's all my fault! I was wrong. I'll go explain everything to Sister Lan later."
"Here, drink the honey water first."
"You... don't go explain."
Ning Xi picked up the cup and took a few sips, her eyes filled with helplessness. "The more you explain sothing like this, the worse it gets. It can't be clarified at all. So, the best solution is to fix the root of the problem. From now on, I won't call you 'brother' anymore!"
"No way."
Ye Fan shook his head.
Everything else was negotiable, but this was absolutely not!
He had worked so hard to trick this girl into calling him 'brother.' There was no way he would let go of it. Otherwise, he would have to be crazy!
"You..."
Ning Xi's chest rose and fell with frustration. Her alluring figure, paired with her pure and stunning face, was like the perfect combination of an angel and a temptress—both holy and seductive.
Ye Fan bit his tongue and slightly shifted his gaze away.
He wanted to look but didn't dare to.
It was hard to imagine how breathtaking this girl would be in a few years when she fully grew up.
"Hmph!"
Ning Xi let out a dissatisfied snort, turned her back to him, and vented her frustration on the honey water in her cup.
Gulp, gulp—
She drank it all in one go!
"Clack—"
Ning Xi placed the cup heavily on the dining table, crossed her arms over her chest, and turned back around with an astonishing curve. Her eyes locked onto Ye Fan, full of resentnt.
Seeing the girl in this state, Ye Fan felt like he couldn't take it anymore. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Xiao Xi, does your stomach still hurt?"
"Huh?"
Ning Xi couldn't keep up with the sudden shift in conversation. She was stunned for a few seconds before she understood what Ye Fan was asking. Her face turned red as she stamred, "W-Why are you asking about that...?"
"For your treatnt, of course."
Ye Fan knew she was shy, so he smiled and reassured her, "Don't overthink it. I just want to check the effectiveness of the herbal dicine. Based on the results, I can try to optimize the dosage of so ingredients."
"...Oh."
Ning Xi lowered her gaze and softly said, "It worked really well. Not long after drinking it yesterday, my stomach felt warm, and the pain disappeared. This morning, it hurt again for a little while after I woke up, but compared to before, the pain was much lighter."
"That's normal. Traditional dicine works slowly and requires long-term use. Compared to Western dicine, it has the advantage of nourishing the body with fewer side effects."
Ye Fan cupped the girl's delicate face in his hands, gently pinched her cheeks, and smiled. "The dicine I brought for you is downstairs. Wait here for —I'll be right back."
As Ye Fan hurried out of the dining room, Ning Xi stared at the doorway for a few seconds. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on her face, dimples forming on her cheeks.
No girl could resist this kind of ticulous care and concern.
She was no exception!
A few minutes later, Ye Fan walked into the dining room with Lan Xi by his side, followed by Ning Xiang Tian.
Seeing them, Ning Xi blinked her eyes in confusion, looking at Ye Fan as if asking a silent question.
Ye Fan smiled, raised two packets of herbal dicine in his hand, and placed them on the table. He nodded at Ning Xiang Tian and Lan Xi.
"Uncle, Sister Lan, Xiao Xi experiences nstrual cramps during that ti of the month. I know a bit about dicine, so when I saw her suffering yesterday, I took leave to get so herbal dicine for her."
"Xiao Xi took it, and the results were great. So, I brought the rest of the dicine over."
Ning Xi's face turned red for no reason. She raised her arms to cover her face and shyly laid her head on the dining table.
Talking about this topic so seriously... No matter how she listened, it just sounded weird...
Ning Xiang Tian frowned, glanced at the herbal dicine on the table, then looked at Ye Fan with an expression of discontent.
"dicine is not sothing to be taken casually. What if sothing goes wrong?"
He wasn't deliberately finding fault. There were too many cases of people getting hard by improper dication!
Moreover, Ye Fan was just a high school student. Even if he knew a bit about dicine, could he really compare to doctors in big hospitals?
If his daughter's body was hard, who would take responsibility?
Lan Xi remained silent, as if waiting for Ye Fan's response.
Facing his future father-in-law's questioning, Ye Fan was unfazed and calmly explained, "Uncle, I understand your concern. Please rest assured, the dicinal ingredients I used are all mild and won't have any side effects on Xiao Xi's body."
"If you're still worried, you can take the dicine to a doctor for verification."
Hearing this, Ning Xiang Tian's expression eased slightly. He then said, "Ye Fan, before doing sothing you're not fully confident about, it's best not to act recklessly. I know you an well, but prescribing dicine is not sothing soone your age should be doing."
"Uncle, you're right. I was being impulsive."
Ye Fan didn't argue.
"What are you saying!"
Ye Fan didn't defend himself, but that didn't an the conversation was over. Hearing her father's words, Ning Xi lifted her head and protested, "Dad, Ye Fan's dicine worked really well. After drinking the herbal decoction he made, my stomach stopped hurting in no ti."
"He helped with my illness, and instead of thanking him, you're criticizing him?"
"..."
His daughter's rebuke made Ning Xiang Tian's face darken slightly, his brows twitching.
Xiao Xi, you... haven't even married yet!
And you're already—
Sigh!!!
Isn't it supposed to be "A grown son won't listen to his mother?"
No, in this case, it's "A grown daughter won't listen to her father!"
Lan Xi spoke at the right mont. "Xiao Xi, your father didn't an it that way. He's just worried about you. After all, Ye Fan doesn't have a dical license, and he's so young. When I first heard about this, I had the sa concerns as your father."
"I know Dad is worried about my health, but..."
Ning Xi glanced at Ye Fan from the corner of her eye and softly added, "You both really misunderstood him. His dicine was very effective, and I didn't feel any discomfort after taking it."
Every word she spoke was in Ye Fan's defense!
