Chapter 310: Chapter 310 Helping Tao Tao_1 Chapter 310: Chapter 310 Helping Tao Tao_1 Xia Ningxing stared slightly at the spot where Jiang Rou had been, always feeling as if there was soone there.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Tingli noticed her odd behavior and asked with concern.
“Nothing,” Xia Ningxing shook her head, brushing away the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
In the following days, Xia Ningxing took up the position of a doctor at the research institute.
She was patient and gentle, and importantly, her treatnts were effective, instantly earning unanimous praise from the institute.
One day, Tao Tao also ca to the dical office.
“Why are you here? Are you sick?” Xia Ningxing, who was reading a book on traditional Chinese dicine, squinted her eyes and looked her up and down upon seeing her arrival.
Traditional Chinese dicine emphasizes inspection, listening, questioning, and palpation, but Xia Ningxing observed her and didn’t notice any signs of illness.
Sigh, she thought, it seed her knowledge was still shallow.
“It’s not exactly an illness,” Tao Tao shook her head, her cheeks flushing as she looked around. Seeing no one else, she whispered into Xia Ningxing’s ear:
“Xiaxia, can you give so dicine that aids in getting pregnant?”
She was so embarrassed: “My partner and I have been married for over two years, but there’s been no activity in my stomach, and my mother-in-law is constantly urging , sigh.”
Xia Ningxing was taken aback and asked subconsciously, “Have you been to the hospital for a checkup?”
“We did, and there’s nothing wrong with either of us,” Tao Tao said, awkwardly fidgeting with her fingers, her eyes too shy to et Xia Ningxing’s gaze.
Xia Ningxing nodded and took another glance at her: “It might be that you’re physically weak. I can prescribe you the dicine, but I can’t guarantee that it will definitely make you pregnant, I’m really not so bona fide traditional Chinese dicine practitioner.”
This point, she had to clarify with her beforehand.
“It’s okay, just prescribe it; even if I really can’t get pregnant, I won’t bla you,” Tao Tao quickly said.
“Alright then,” Xia Ningxing nodded and drafted a prescription for her.
After receiving the prescription, Tao Tao was beaming with joy, thanking Xia Ningxing profusely as if she could already see herself pregnant and becoming a mother.
Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but tug at the corner of her mouth; hadn’t she said she couldn’t guarantee a pregnancy…
…
On the fifth day of the next month, the institute gave a three-day New Year holiday, and Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli also planned to visit ho.
Since this was the first official eting with the parents after their romance, naturally Lu Tingli couldn’t go empty-handed.
So, Lu Tingli had inquired in advance about the preferences of Mrs. Xia, Xia Jiehao, his five brothers, and two sisters-in-law, and purchased gifts for them accordingly.
On the day they went to the Xia family ho, Lu Tingli pulled along a car full of gifts.
Upon entering, he politely greeted Mrs. Xia and Xia Jiehao.
“Uncle, Auntie, we’re back!”
“Good to be back! Good to be back,” Mrs. Xia looked at the handso future son-in-law before her eyes and tapped the roomful of gifts, grinning from ear to ear.
There’s a saying that a mother-in-law becos more pleased with her son-in-law the more she looks at him.
After greeting the elders, Lu Tingli went on to greet each of the five brothers and two sisters-in-law, handing them the gifts he’d carefully selected.
“Oh wow, our little sister sure picked a good one,” Xia Ningxing’s second sister-in-law, who loved to collect various types of gold, said as she admired her new gold watch, barely able to conceal her glee.
The gift for the eldest sister-in-law, Gu Yunyun, was a limited-edition scarf. Upon opening the box and seeing it, she imdiately praised it, “I’ve always wanted to buy this scarf, but had no access to it and couldn’t get my hands on one; I didn’t expect you, my dear brother-in-law, to bring it for , thank you so much.”
She was a scarf aficionado, just like how the second sister-in-law was with gold, unable to move along whenever she saw such items.
