520 Reconciliation

Qiao An glared at him with red eyes. “Go back to where?”

Xing Chen was stunned. Indeed, where did he want her to go back to?

Could he bear to see her go back to the city?

If she returned to the Xing family, Xing Xiaoya would want to torture her again.

He suddenly felt so sad that he couldn’t provide a warm home for the girl he loved.

At that time, he swore to himself that he would earn a lot of money to buy Qiao An a house.

Qiao An wheeled the cart away. Xing Chen stared after her with heartache.

The assistance work was especially busy, and the patients were sick for a long time. New patients were constantly sent over, which increased the challenges of the medical team.

On this day, when Qiao An came to the ward to deliver the medicine, she heard the doctors discussing the situation. “This illness is strange. It’s not fatal, but fever medicine is not effective against the virus. We might need to consider changing it.”

Qiao An remembered that day when she had a fever. Xing Chen had given her Chinese herbs to drink. She immediately walked over and asked the two authoritative doctors, “I had a fever two days ago too. When Xing Chen brewed Chinese herbs for me, my fever subsided in half a day. Do you want to try it on the patients here?”

The doctor was pleasantly surprised. “Girl, can you tell us which formulas?”

Qiao An shook her head. “I don’t know. But Xing Chen is in the treatment team. I’ll ask him.”

With that, Qiao An turned to look for Xing Chen. Xing Chen had just finished his work and walked out of the patient’s room when he heard Qiao An shout excitedly, “Xing Chen.”

Xing Chen walked up to Qiao An and smiled at her. “Qiao An, are you looking for me?”

Qiao An said excitedly, “What formula did you use for the fever medicine you brewed for me last time? I told the medical team and they’re very interested in your formula.”

But Xing Chen fell silent.

Qiao An was anxious. “What’s wrong? You can’t reveal this formula? Do you want to apply for a patent?”

Xing Chen shook her head. “No, there’s a medicinal herb in that prescription that’s very difficult to find. I had to search a few mountains to find your medicine.”

Qiao An was stunned. “You found it especially for me?”

Xing Chen’s ears burned. Qiao An had discovered his thoughts.

He stopped hiding it and nodded. “Yes.”

Qiao An didn’t expect Xing Chen to work so hard behind her back to treat her.

Her resentment towards him was instantly halved.

“Give me the prescription first, and I’ll mobilize all the villagers to find it. We’ll find as much as we can,” Qiao An said.

Xing Chen wrote out the prescription. But when he handed the papers to Qiao An, he hesitated. “Do you recognize them?”

Qiao An said, “I know most of the Chinese medicine.”

After all, she was the CEO of a Chinese Medicine Group.

Xing Chen was a little stunned.

Qiao An took the prescription and took it to the person in charge of the medical team.

“This prescription is very safe, but I don’t know how effective it is.”

Qiao An said, “It’s very effective. It has been tested on me. After taking the medicine twice, my fever subsided.”

“Alright. Now we can only try this new prescription. Qiao An, quickly take Xing Chen and gather the villagers to dig for medicine.”

“Okay.”

Just like that, Qiao An and Xing Chen did a health checkup. After confirming that the two of them were safe, they took off their antibacterial suits and left the confinement area.

Qiao An said to Xing Chen, “Let’s go our separate ways. I’ll gather the villagers to Eastmount. You gather the villagers to Westmount.”

Xing Chen did not reply for a long time.

Qiao An looked at him in shock. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Xing Chen walked up to her dejectedly and said, “Qiao An, do you not want me anymore?”

His pitiful and aggrieved expression was like a child who was deprived of candy.

Qiao An was amused. She purely wanted to be more efficient. Why did this guy think she was alienating him?

She teased him. “You’re focused on protecting Xing Xiaoya. Who would dare to want you?”

Xing Chen said, “I wasn’t protecting her. It’s just that life is greater than the sky. She was courting death. I couldn’t leave her in the lurch.”

Qiao An was inexplicably angry. “Then guard her life for the rest of your life. Don’t drag other girls into this.”

With that, she left angrily.

Xing Chen crossed to her in two or three steps and grabbed her hand. “Qiao An, don’t do this.”

Qiao An glared at him angrily. “You choose to run to her every time when you had to choose between Xing Xiaoya and me. Xing Chen, do you think that no one dotes on me and loves me? Must I cling to you? I, Qiao An, want love for a lifetime and will not share my love.If you can’t expel other women from your heart, then don’t come to me.”

Xing Chen said anxiously, “Qiao An, I know love has to be single-minded. I’m not two-timing.”

Xing Chen An looked at his anxious expression and suddenly recalled many years ago… When he was still Huo Xiaoran, regardless of whether she was Mrs. Li or the mother of the children, he had never flirted with women and rejected scandals. Even Lu Mo, who tried her best to pounce on him, could not move him.

He’d been waiting chastely for her to turn back.

His feelings for her were indeed very pure.

Sigh.

Qiao An sighed silently. She knew he wasn’t a player.

Just as Xing Chen didn’t know how to defend himself and felt helpless, Qiao An suddenly reached out and hugged his waist, gently pressing her face into his arms.

“Brother Xing Chen, I know you’re not a restless person, but can you settle your matter with Xing Xiaoya as soon as possible? I feel so uncomfortable being sandwiched between the two of you.” Her voice became hoarse as she spoke.

Even if Qiao An didn’t cry or make a fuss, Xing Chen could clearly feel her pain. It was no less painful than Xing Xiaoya’s.

Qiao An was just calm and rational, so she couldn’t be unreasonable.

Xing Chen’s heart ached for her.

“An’an, I only have gratitude for Xing Xiaoya and no other feelings. When she first pestered me, I warned her very seriously. It’s all my fault for not paying attention to this. I was unwilling to waste my precious time dealing with such low-level mundane matters, so I couldn’t completely stop her. Give me some time. I’ll settle her down.”

“Yes.” Qiao An wasn’t willing to make things difficult for him.

“Are you still going to part ways with me?” he asked carefully.

Qiao An shook her head vehemently in his arms.

Xing Chen’s depressed heart, which had been filled with joy for many days, was filled again.

After removing the barrier between them, they gathered many villagers and searched the mountains for herbs.

The first batch of herbs was sent down the mountain. After preparation, they were given to some patients to drink.

Miraculously, their fever actually began to subside.

Members of the medical staff were overjoyed, so they changed their approach. They increased the use of traditional Chinese medicine.

As for Qiao An and the villagers, they kept searching for medicinal herbs.
