Chapter 647: 650: Feelings Begin to Sprout

She pulled Xiao Shu into her arms, caressing his face, “Don’t bother your father. He can run much faster than you. Why do you need to pull him along?”

“But mother, you ran faster than Xiao Shu too, and Xiao Shu had to pull you!” Xiao Shumiao said guiltily, “I really did wrong, I forgot to pull father along.”

Gu Junzhu was just teasing him. Seeing him genuinely upset, he felt distressed, bent down to hold him in his arms, and kissed him, “Daddy is just joking. Daddy is the most powerful one, he has to protect mommy and Xiao Shu, you don’t need to protect daddy.”

Xiao Shumiao shook his head, his small hands cupping Gu Junzhu’s face, and said earnestly, “Daddy, I definitely won’t forget you next time. The books say that even the most powerful people need their family’s care. Xiao Shu shouldn’t have left you behind just because you are powerful. Even the strongest people need their family’s care!”

Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, then kissed him hard again, “Sweetheart, how can you be so adorable?”

Xiao Shumiao tilted his little head to look at him, laughing along with him, “Because daddy said Xiao Shumiao got big from eating a lot of cute things!”

Gu Junzhu was once again amused by his lovable appearance, bursting into a hearty laugh.

Ye Xingbei stood aside, watching the father and son chattering and laughing. He felt a peaceful and calm emotion in his heart, hoping that their future days could be like this one.

After a while, Yue Yaer and Wu Siwei walked out.

Chi Yu and Chi Zhan were supporting Chi Qing, following closely behind.

Ye Xingbei walked up to them, asking with concern, “How is it?”

Yue Yaer smiled and nodded, “The acupuncture was very successful. We have managed to force the phlegm in her chest out. Now we just need to give her a big enough shock to wake her up.”

“Dr. Yue, thank you!” Chi Zhan walked over to Yue Yaer with gratitude, “You have worked hard. We really don’t know how to thank you.”

Seeing his younger sister, Chi Qing, coughing up large chunks of green-black phlegm, he felt that her body was being cleansed. He was full of faith in Yue Yaer, believing she could cure his sister.

After the acupuncture session for Chi Qing, Yue Yaer’s clothes were soaked with sweat. When she left the restroom, she swayed a little, looking like she would pass out. Wu Siwei helped her to the dining room and gave her a drink of sugar water to recover. He felt guilty and experienced strange emotions he couldn’t put into words.

Yue Yaer turned to look at him, shook her head and chuckled, “No need to thank me. Qingqing is lucky to have a brother like you. It’s so good that you care for her, and I hope Qingqing can get better soon, bringing harmony to your whole family.”

Her own family was broken, but if she could prevent others from suffering her pain, that would make her feel happy.

Chi Yu asked, “Dr. Yue, what should we do now? Shi Qianying and the men who hurt Qingqing… I have brought them here. They are in the car. Should we proceed with the next treatment now?”

“Yes,” Yue Yaer nodded, looking towards Gu Junzhu, “Fifth Master, could you help us find a suitable place? Somewhere that’s relatively dark and enclosed.”

“Simple,” Gu Junzhu said. “The basement.”

He turned towards Gu Chi, “Xiao Chi, go with the Chi family. Take the people to the basement.”

Gu Chi nodded, “Yes, Master.”

Chi Zhan quickly said, “Xiao Chi, I’ll go with you.”

Gu Chi nodded, and the two of them went to where the Chi family’s car was parked.

A moment later, Gu Chi returned and reported, “Master, everything is in order.”
