Chapter 58: The medicine is bitter, but you are sweet

Ji Zhilan's matter came to an end and he returned to the Ji family again. Ji's father said nothing about this, and Mr. Ji didn't want to care about his grandchildren's affairs.

Ji Zhilan, who returned home to Ji's house, was like a fish in water, eating and spending as much as she wanted, and living a comfortable life.

When she felt better, she made a phone call and asked Lu Cong to come out alone.

When Lu Cong saw her, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “What's going on today, did sister Zhilan think of me?"

When his eyes touched her flat belly, he was startled.

Ji Zhilan pushed the menu over, “If we leave, we won't keep the children."

"Congratulations on being single again. My brother will introduce you to some good ones tomorrow. They will definitely be a thousand times better than that Jiangcheng city." After being stunned for a second, he quickly returned to normal and comforted her.

Ji Zhilan has put Jiang Cheng down, and now Jiang Cheng is not worth mentioning in front of her. She smiled and said, "Don't mention him, Brother Lu Cong. It's bad luck. Let's see what we have to eat first. To thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Taking care of you is out of the question, that's right. After all, I've always regarded you as my sister since I was little."

Lu Cong was a little panicked after eating this meal.

Fortunately, it was just about eating, and Ji Zhilan didn't say anything else.

After dinner, send Lu Cong off.

Ji Zhilan glanced at Xiang Long behind him and said, "Let's go shopping with me."

There was a trace of embarrassment on Xiang Long's usually expressionless face. He had been protecting the eldest lady all day long. He hadn't seen Li Laidi for a long time...

Ji Zhilan's eyes darkened, "Why, are you still embarrassed by this request?"

"No, miss, don't think too much. Which mall should we go to?" Xiang Long shook his head immediately.

Seeing that he agreed decisively, Ji Zhilan felt better. She raised her chin, "Go to the biggest one."

After finishing scanning the goods, Xiang Long followed her with bags full in both hands. Ji Zhilan stopped, turned around and said compassionately, “Let's just stop here today, let's go back."

After sending Ji Zhilan back to Ji Zhai, Xiang Long bent down and said, "Miss, should I go back to Mr. Ji first?"

Ji Zhilan was looking through today's trophies with great interest. Hearing this, he said displeasedly, “Brother asked you to stay by my side to protect me. Why, you don't want to?"

Mr. Ji asked him to protect the eldest lady because he valued him, so he would naturally not be unwilling. But if he really stays with the eldest lady, Xiang Long is really unwilling in his heart...

He kept his face low, lowered his head and said, "It depends on the lady's orders."

Ji Zhilan snorted, took out his cell phone, and instructed, “Now, go and deliver these things to my room."

"yes."

Xiang Long originally wanted to ask Ji Zhixiu when he would be transferred back, but he was afraid that it would be a bad question. Before hesitating, he first sent a message to Li Laidi.

[I have been by the eldest lady’s side recently, protecting her. Wait for me, I will take you home to meet your parents as soon as I have time. 】

Li Laidi now rents a house by himself and takes his mother away from the slums. No matter how hard his father searches, he can't find her to suck blood from.

I was eating when I received the text message.

"Why, Brother Lai, who sent you this text message that made you even want to eat?" Mother Li asked. After raising her for a few days, her face became much rosier.

Li Laidi came to his senses and put down his phone, "Yes, Mom, it's a friend."

Mother Li shook her head. As a person who has experienced this, how could she not be clear about this? She was very happy to see her daughter in a cheerful mood. Mother Li picked up a piece of chicken with her chopsticks and said, "Don't forget, you have good news to tell me."

Li Laidi nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Mom, you are my dearest and dearest person. If anything happens, I will definitely tell you."

Just as he was expecting a reply, he heard a shout from downstairs. Xiang Long was startled, it was the eldest lady's voice!

Xiang Long quickly rushed downstairs and slid down the handrail of the stairs. With cool movements and handsome posture, he hurriedly stopped in front of Ji Zhilan, “What's wrong, Miss?"

Ji Zhilan's heart was pounding. The man in front of him had a majestic figure and a trace of anxiety on his face. Was that worry?

Ji Zhilan felt that her heart was alive again for the first time in a long time.

"What happened?" he repeated.

"No...it's okay," Ji Zhilan blushed, "I just came across a ghost picture while browsing Moments. It was really scary."

She cursed in her mind that it was bad luck, but felt that it was a blessing in disguise.

"It's okay." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Zhilan raised his eyes and looked at him, "Are you worried about me?"

"Of course." Xiang Long followed without thinking, “President Ji sent me here to protect the safety of the eldest lady. If there is anything wrong with the eldest lady, President Ji will definitely not let me go."

Ji Zhilan felt disappointed, "Is it just because of my brother?"

"What?" He didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing." She picked up her phone again, "What's your WeChat ID? Add it so I can find you."

Xiang Long took out his mobile phone and said, "Then I'll scan it for you, miss."

With the addition of WeChat, Ji Zhilan felt that it was impossible for her and Lu Cong to be together. But Xiang Long can develop and develop.

After all, Xiang Long is one of his own. Even if he marries her, he will never dare to play tricks on her like Jiang Cheng does. He will definitely treat her well.

Besides, it would be easy to ask my brother for a bodyguard, and he would definitely not refuse.

After making up his mind, Ji Zhilan said kindly, “You are tired after following me all day today, so go down and rest first."

Xiang Long nodded, "Thank you, Miss."

"You don't have to call me eldest lady from now on, just call me by my name." Call me eldest lady and go out more often.

Xiang Long was confused, but didn't want to ask any more questions. He nodded again, "I understand."

As soon as Xiang Long returned to the room, the first thing he did was to call Li Laidi.

Ji Zhixiu, who had agreed to take Jiang Mian to see a Chinese medicine doctor, acted resolutely and made arrangements for him long ago. Just because Ji Zhilan's incident happened unexpectedly, it was delayed for a few days.

Jiang Mian was still trying to persuade him before going out, “Look, my head doesn't hurt and my eyes don't feel dizzy now..."

The man glanced over and Jiang Mian's voice gradually faded.

She shook off Ji Zhixiu's hand and got into the car first.

Soon, Ji Zhixiu caught up and held her palm. The man lowered his eyes and said comfortingly, “Be good, just take a look first."

Jiang Mian put her head on his shoulder, "Actually, it's just an ordinary headache. Do you think you are too nervous?"

Ji Zhixiu's heart tightened. He had not yet decided what to say about Jiang Mian's lost memory.

"I'm very nervous about you." He blurted out.

The corners of Jiang Mian's lips raised high, "Axiu,"

"Yes, I'm here." He promised that from the moment he found Jiang Mian, he would always be there.

The old Chinese doctor Ji Zhixiu found for Jiang Mian was very famous in the medical field, so it was only Ji Zhixiu who stepped in to free up some time for him.

He took Jiang Mian's pulse and asked a few questions in detail.

Finally, he raised his head and said, "Ms. Jiang, please go to my pharmacy to check out the medicine. I'll make an order first."

Jiang Mian nodded, stood up and followed the assistant.

After the others left, Ji Zhixiu said in a deep voice, “How?"

"The pulse is weak and the spleen and stomach are cold. As for the headache that Mr. Ji mentioned, it can only be cured by prescribing medication, but there is no guarantee that the memory can be fully restored..."

"Why?" Could it be that Jiang Mian was destined not to be able to remember the memories she had with him?

"We don't know what the memory she lost is, but it must be something the patient doesn't want to remember. So her brain has selective amnesia, and the patient may not know it. If you ask her to remember it now, you are embarrassing her." he hesitated.

Ji Zhixiu closed his eyes and opened them again, "I understand."

As long as the person is there, memory is not that important.

As long as he remembers it.

"I will prescribe a medicine for her, which needs to be taken for a long time. If you have any questions between taking it, you can come to me."

"Is it bitter?" Ji Zhixiu asked.

The famous doctor was stunned and said, "Good medicine is bitter, and Chinese medicine is naturally bitter. However, you can add less brown sugar when heating it to avoid affecting the taste."

"good."

When the two went back, Ji Zhixiu told her, “I will ask your assistant to keep an eye on you as you take the medicine. I will keep an eye on you at home."

Jiang Mian pouted, "I know."

When he was taking medicine after the meal, Jiang Mian felt that she had agreed too early!

Jiang Mian has never been sick since he was a child, and he rarely takes medicine. This bowl of Chinese medicine was handed to her, and the smell alone made her almost nauseous.

She pinched her nose and said pitifully, "Can you not drink it?"

"Okay, no," Jiang Mian asked and answered. She took it from Ji Zhixiu's hand and tapped the edge of the bowl lightly, "I'll do it myself."

Jiang Mian took a deep breath, made up his mind, and sighed. Aiming at his mouth, he planned to drink it all, but Jiang Mian couldn't bear the taste. He just took a sip and held it in his mouth before he felt like vomiting. Jiang Mian puffed up his cheeks and swallowed it in one breath.

The bitter taste instantly filled his mouth. Jiang Mian frowned, looked at the half-big bowl, pinched his nose again, and worked hard.

Finally, not a drop was left at the bottom of the bowl. If Jiang Mian drank even slower for a second, he would be afraid of spitting it out.

Ji Zhixiu immediately peeled off the toffee that had been prepared and stuffed it into her mouth.

The sweet milky taste instantly melts the bitterness in your mouth. One is bitter and the other is sweet. They are a perfect match at this moment.

Jiang Mian's eyebrows relaxed and he raised his fingers, "Come here."

"Um?"

Ji Zhixiu didn't know why and leaned down. The next second, the woman's soft lips pressed against his. Jiang Mian took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and straighten her chest. The silky uvula penetrated in, conveying the sweetness and bitterness to him.

Her clumsy and erratic kiss easily touched Ji Zhixiu's heartstrings. The man soon became his guest, ravaging her mouth to his heart's content. Jiang Mian was about to slip down as soon as her body went limp.

Ji Zhixiu was already prepared, holding her body firmly with his big palm, deepening the kiss that came to her.

After a long time, the two separated. Jiang Mian's eyes were raised, with some mist in them, "Bitter, is it bitter?"

Ji Zhixiu chuckled, "The medicine is bitter, but you are sweet."

Afraid that she would be shy, Ji Zhixiu changed the subject and said, "I bought a ticket to Jiangnan tomorrow. Take a look and see if there is anything you need to pack. Take it all with you."

Jiang Mian's eyes lit up, "So fast."

There was obvious happiness on her face, "Are we just the two of us going?"

"Of course not, there is also Fan Cheng."

"Xiang Long isn't with us?" Jiang Mian asked suspiciously. Usually when he goes out for non-company business, Ji Zhixiu always takes Xiang Long with him.

When Xiang Long was mentioned, Ji Zhixiu paused and said, "He is at Zhilan's place. I will go back in the evening."
