CHAPTER 663: CHAPTER 50: MEETING THE PARENTS (PART 2)

Xiao Xian is unaware of Zhuo Feng’s thoughts, but Feng Xing couldn’t possibly miss it.

"Xiao Xian, are you saying the expert you mentioned is Dr. Zhou?" Feng Xing didn’t have much aversion towards Zhou Ziang; as a man himself, he found Zhou Ziang’s qualifications quite impressive. Based on his intuition, he speculated that Xiao Xian and Zhou Ziang hadn’t officially confirmed their relationship yet, and their interactions seemed somewhat awkward, but he wasn’t sure what the situation was exactly.

"Yes, when I was in the United States, I studied some plant pharmacology," Zhou Ziang saw that Xiao Xian was really anxious and, considering Zhuo Feng’s condition, fruit to stop vomiting was only a temporary solution. Eating fruits long-term during winter isn’t good for the digestive system.

After exchanging a few polite words with Zhuo Feng and his wife, Xiao Xian and Zhou Ziang didn’t stay any longer. After Zhou Ziang changed out of his white lab coat, they immediately left the hospital together. He’s a doctor, after all, and enjoys the freedom not bound by the hospital’s restrictions.

Zhou Ziang hadn’t been in the country for long, so he hadn’t bought a car. He simply hailed a taxi, and they headed straight for the pharmacy.

"The medicine shouldn’t be a problem this time. The prescription is provided by an old Chinese medicine doctor, using ingredients like honey, ginger, and orange peel, which are mild in medicinal properties." Perhaps because Xiao Xian’s tone was a bit too aloof earlier, she softened her voice a bit, considering she still needed Zhou Ziang’s help, so her tone carried a hint of pleading.

"Isn’t there any particular problem? But do you really plan on attributing these medicines directly under the name of 411 Hospital?" Zhou Ziang originally didn’t care much about fame and fortune, but seeing how Wang Zhonghe was ordering Xiao Xian around this morning, he felt discontent and decided that 411 Hospital shouldn’t reap undue benefits from this.

"Hmm? Actually, I’ve thought about it, these can be used as a derivative of hangover medicine." Xiao Xian briefly mentioned the potential of marketing the medicine and a recent visit from Commissioner John from Europe, though she was vague and did not touch on the part about cellular activation. After all, knowing the age of Pueraria Root so clearly, even if one is a Cultivator, it doesn’t fully make sense. For Zhou Ziang, Xiao Xian still harbored some guarded feelings, especially since the last time Zhou Ziang appeared with Aisha.

In Huang Tengchong’s villa, if Xiao Xian wasn’t mistaken, that Aisha and Zhou Ziang knew each other; they had come to Sacred Heart Middle School together and had dinner together.

Just by observing Aisha’s behavior that day, it was clear she was very interested in Zhou Ziang. If she were a man, she would openly admit she couldn’t match Aisha’s charm as a woman. Feeling a bit uncomfortable inside, like a sour and bitter sensation in the stomach spreading all the way to the throat, it was quite unpleasant.

"Then let’s leave out 411 Hospital, or maybe just hand over one of the final products. Everyone’s constitution is different; your aunt has a cold constitution, naturally, there are people with a hot constitution, this also needs to be made clear. You and your aunt are quite similar in temperament, somewhat irritable." Seeing how Feng Xing and Zhuo Feng were interacting, it was obvious. Hearing what Zhou Ziang said added another layer to Xiao Xian’s understanding of him; earlier, his very polite interactions with Zhuo Feng and his wife seemed excessively polite to Xiao Xian, which ironically made her feel more distant.

"Where am I irritable, I’ve improved a lot," Xiao Xian retorted, as the car arrived at Medicinal Material Street. She immediately opened the car door and jumped out. Zhou Ziang was older than her, but based on Zhou Xiaoxian’s true age (16 years old + nearly seven years living in this era), he wasn’t much younger than Zhou Ziang. Hearing her say this, with a mix of defiance and coquetry, Zhou Ziang heard it, a smile curling up at the corners of his mouth, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

Xiao Xian got out of the car, straightened her clothes, and pulled down her crossbody bag; looking awkward, Zhou Ziang walked over calmly, holding Xiao Xian’s bag in his hands, effectively proving his opinion of Xiao Xian.

So embarrassing, Xiao Xian blushed, snatching her crossbody bag back. Just as they reached the entrance of the pharmacy, they heard Pharmacist Huang energetically speaking on the phone: "Manager Cheng, who said our store is out of ginseng? That’s just for outsiders; for an old customer like you, how can we not have good ginseng. It’s definitely top-quality ginseng, well-known in the industry, our store only deals with premium ginseng. Alright, bring over the ginseng you just acquired and compare it with mine, if yours isn’t better, I’ll give you a bottle of Ganoderma Wine I personally brewed." Pharmacist Huang today was quite different from when Xiao Xian first saw him.

Just after hanging up the phone, he saw Xiao Xian and an unfamiliar young man standing at the entrance.

"Xiao Xian, here you are, come in, you really are Old Huang’s lucky charm," Pharmacist Huang strode up to Xiao Xian, noticing Zhou Ziang at her side, he furrowed his eyebrows, giving him a thorough look as if trying to see through Zhou Ziang.

Having served the Mei Family his whole life, when Mei Xiang was alive, there were quite a few Cultivators in the Mei Family. Although he was an ordinary man,

he was more perceptive than most; just seeing Zhou Ziang, he felt this young man was extraordinarily.

A person’s sharp aura, though it can be concealed like a sword’s edge, the aura surrounding him is hard to hide completely.

Pharmacist Huang, looking at Zhou Ziang’s handsome features, was uncertain of his relationship with Xiao Xian, so he kept some reservations, retracting the words that were almost on his lips.
