Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

After Medicine Farmer Star successfully cured Xiahou Huai Gui’s strange illness, her reputation among the elite of Xia Country quickly rose.

Through their word of mouth, Medicine Farmer Star’s image has been mythologized, and she had long since become a more formidable doctor than the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor, Ye Mingluo.

They all firmly believed that no matter what rare and difficult disease one might have, as long as Medicine Farmer Star could be called upon to diagnose it, there was a ninety percent chance of survival.

Therefore, once news of Medicine Farmer Star appearing in West Continent City got out, those wealthy nobles with terminal illnesses would undoubtedly break through the doors of the city.

No wonder Medicine Farmer Star would emphasize specifically that her whereabouts must not be disclosed to outsiders.

Jiang Heng was worried that if he angered Medicine Farmer Star, she wouldn’t be willing to treat Bai Xuan. Facing Medicine Farmer Star’s demands, Jiang Heng could only comply.

Fearing any mishaps, he didn’t even inform Bai Xuan about it.

But Jiang Heng was a cautious and meticulous person; he couldn’t possibly go to Dongyang Mausoleum alone to obtain the medicine.

After all, he didn’t truly know Medicine Farmer Star’s real identity. What if she was his arch-enemy, waiting for a chance to take revenge? Wouldn’t he be walking into a trap?

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Heng finally decided to bring two Death Servants nurtured by the Jiang Family along with him.

Death Servants had signed a life-and-death contract with the Jiang Family, sworn to absolute loyalty to the Jiang Family. They were Jiang Heng’s most trusted individuals.

Better safe than sorry.

On this day, Bai Xuan also received a call from her mother, Jie Siyu.

On the call, Jie Siyu told Bai Xuan, ”Xuan’er, tomorrow is your father’s anniversary, and I must go pay my respects to him. You’ve just married and formed your own family, and you should take Jiang Heng to pay your respects to him.”

”But since you’re not feeling well and it’s inconvenient for you to travel, he wouldn’t blame you. You should ask Jiang Heng if he wants to accompany me to pay respects to your father?”

Jie Siyu held more reverence than warmth toward Jiang Heng and dared not make decisions on his behalf without his consent.

In everything, she must seek Jiang Heng’s opinion.

Hearing this from her mother, Bai Xuan suddenly realized that her father’s anniversary had come around again.

Bai Xuan didn’t immediately consent, but said, ”I need to ask Ah Heng first. You know how busy he is with work; he might not have the time.”

”Alright, ask him first, and I’ll wait for your call.”

”Okay.”

Recently, Jiang Heng’s anemia had worsened, making him work from home more often, and he happened to be at home today.

Bai Xuan went to the study and gently knocked on the door, asking softly, ”Ah Heng, can I come in?”

Jiang Heng’s voice came from inside, ”Just a moment.”

Hearing this, Bai Xuan quietly waited outside the door.

After two or three minutes, the door was finally opened. A guard stepped out from the study, and upon seeing Bai Xuan, he nodded to her and said, ”Good afternoon, madam.”

After greeting her, he left.

Bai Xuan watched his departing back and noticed a black ’Jiang’ character tattooed on the back of his neck, realizing he was a Death Servant guard of the Jiang family.

Jiang Heng would only avoid her when discussing confidential matters with the Death Servants.

Bai Xuan wasn’t very concerned about Jiang Heng’s work or the Jiang family’s secrets. She only cared about whether Jiang Heng was loyal to her in feelings and if he had any mistresses outside.

As long as Jiang Heng didn’t cross her bottom line, Bai Xuan could forever remain a gentle and considerate young lady of the Jiang family.

Jiang Heng heard the commotion of the Death Servant greeting Bai Xuan, realizing Bai Xuan had been waiting outside the door. ”Xuan’er, come in.”

Only then did Bai Xuan step lightly into the study.

She noticed Jiang Heng seemed quite pleased, and her mood lightened with his. ”Ah Heng, did something delightful happen?”

Jiang Heng leaned back relaxedly in his executive chair. Hearing Bai Xuan’s words, he lifted his right hand and beckoned her over, ”Xuan’er, come over here.”

Bai Xuan flitted over like a delicate butterfly and settled on Jiang Heng’s lap.

She leaned softly against Jiang Heng’s embrace, asking him, ”What exactly happened that’s so pleasing?”

Jiang Heng was a man who seldom displayed his emotions, so for him to show emotions outwardly, it must have been something significantly pleasing.

Jiang Heng, unable to reveal news about Medicine Farmer Star, only said, ”A matter that has troubled me for a long time finally took a promising turn. I’m very pleased.”

”Is it inconvenient to share the details with me?” If it was inconvenient, then Bai Xuan wouldn’t press for details.

”In a while, you’ll know.” Jiang Heng, holding the gentle-bodied Bai Xuan, softly inquired, ”Is there something you wanted to talk to me about?”

Only then did Bai Xuan remember the important matter.

She said, ”Tomorrow is my father’s anniversary, and my mother mentioned that since we just got married, I should bring you to pay respects to him. Also, let him see what an outstanding son-in-law I chose for him.”
