NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7
“Wife, please pay attention to me.”
“Wife, wife, if you don’t speak, does that mean you forgive me?”
.
Fu Yanhe chattered non-stop. Frankly speaking, he was the chattiest person Gu Wenning had ever seen so far. He could talk to himself for a long time, and he spoke very fast. In the same period of time, he could at least talk more than others by a third.
Dr. Lin looked at the thermometer.
“Thirty-eight degrees five. You can reduce the fever physically, or you can take some antipyretics. Does Mr. Gu have any history of drug allergies?”
To be cautious, Dr. Lin asked Gu Wenning. He had never seen Gu Wenning before. If he had any allergies and didn’t know about it, it would be easy to cause big problems if he used the wrong medicine.
Gu Wenning shook his head gently.
Dr. Lin nodded, took out the medicine box, and prepared to prescribe medicine.
Fu Yanhe suddenly interjected, “Isn’t it bad to take too much medicine? How about physical cooling?”
Medicines were three-part poisons. Whether they were Chinese medicines or Western medicines, taking too much was definitely not good. Moreover, taking too much medicine would cause drug resistance, and the next time he took the medicine, the effect would not be as good.
Dr. Lin looked at his boss and then at the patient, feeling a little confused.
“It’s better to prescribe medicine, please, Doctor Lin,” Gu Wenning said.
Fu Yanhe frowned but said nothing more and didn’t forcefully interfere with Gu Wenning’s decision.
After Dr. Lin prescribed the medicine, Fu Yanhe immediately handed a glass of warm water to Gu Wenning. His eyes were fixed on him tightly, not looking away for a second, silently urging him to take the medicine quickly.
Taking medicine had long been a daily routine for Gu Wenning. After taking the antipyretic medicine with warm water without any expression, his expression remained calm and he didn’t even frown.
But Fu Yanhe still noticed that the moment he just swallowed the medicine, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, showing an unhappy arc.
In the previous life, the empress didn’t like to drink those dark, weird-tasting medicine. Sometimes they would even secretly pour out the medicine when he was not around. Seeing that the soil in the basin was full of medicinal smell, he didn’t know that the empress did so many tricks behind his back. No wonder the empress’ illness sometimes healed very slowly, even lasting ten days and a half.
Later, he personally watched the empress drink the medicine every time. With his supervision, the empress did not pour out the medicine. However, every time she drank the medicine, the empress was not very happy and said nothing and ignored him.
Now they had switched to Western medicine, and although the taste was slightly better, his wife’s rejection of the medicine had not changed.
It was not difficult to understand. Who would like to take medicine as food for many years? Although medicine could cure diseases, no one wanted to touch it if possible. It would be better if they could avoid touching it for the rest of their lives. However, people ate other things. There was no one who wouldn’t get sick from foods or the environment.
Fu Yanhe subconsciously touched his pocket, wanting to give his wife a piece of candy to sweeten his mouth, but he couldn’t find any. Then he remembered that he didn’t have the habit of carrying candy with him before he recovered his past life memory and met his wife.
If he had known that he would see his wife today, he would have taken a bag of candies out with him. In addition of sweetening his wife’s mouth after taking medicine, he could also use candies to make his wife happy.
Rubbing his eyebrows in annoyance, Fu Yanhe quickly thought of a solution.
As a good husband who was capable and responsible, he was never afraid of more difficulties or not being fully prepared. Naturally, there would be frustrations, but the more important thing was to find ways to solve problems rather than just sitting around and sighing.
Fu Yanhe went out in a hurry and soon came in with a plate of cloud cakes.
“Wife, are the pills bitter? Come on, eat some cloud cake to sweeten your mouth.”
In addition to the quiet environment, another major feature of Qinglan Restaurant was that the pastries were delicious. It was said that the chef who made the pastries had an imperial chef for his ancestors, and his cooking skills were beyond words.
The cloud cake, which was snow-white in color, light and even in the shape of long pieces, was beautifully arranged on the blue porcelain plate, like a blooming magnolia flower, with a faint aroma unique to the cake.
Gu Wenning lowered his eyes and made no move.
Fu Yanhe thought he was shy, so he directly picked up a piece of cloud cake and put it to his mouth, whispering softly, “Although the cloud cake here is not made by the imperial chef, the taste is a bit different, but it’s still okay. I’ve eaten it once, and it’s still edible. The conditions are limited, so wife, you’ll just have to make do with it and eat this first.”
When he said this, Fu Yanhe still had a look of guilt on his face.
People must know that in the past, the empress’ food and clothing were all of the best. The empress would not eat the meals or the pastries made by famous chefs, and the empress wouldn’t want it on the table. Later he saw the empress could live a rough life without paying attention to things, but he could never wrong the empress, and he could not let the empress suffer even if the sky fell.
But now, he wanted his wife to make do with the mediocre cloud cake, which had been passed down for countless generations. The pastry chef’s skill in making this cloud cake was much inferior to that of his ancestors.
It was his incompetence and lack of ability. It was all his fault. He couldn’t give his wife the best and made him suffer.
Dr. Lin took a silent breath.
‘Boss, do you want to listen to what you are talking about? The price of such a seemingly inconspicuous plate of cloud cakes is in the four figures. This price is simply too expensive. The main signature of Qinglan Restaurant pastry is the secret recipe of the ancient palace and one of the best in the country. How could it be a mediocre pastry?’
That was a pastry worth four figures. Even if it wasn’t made by the imperial chef, it certainly wouldn’t taste bad.
He had not seen enough of the world to understand the high standards of wealthy families and the quality of food that top wealthy families expect.
It was he who uneducated.
Qinglan Restaurant’s pastries were famous, and Gu Wenning knew that. After all, he had lived in Beijing for more than ten years. He was not short of money, and the occasions he attended were relatively high-end.
When he heard the obvious disdain in Fu Yanhe’s tone, Gu Wenning’s eyelashes trembled slightly, thinking that if the person in charge of Qinglan Restaurant heard this, they would likely be so angry they might fly into a rage and pick a fight. Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?
But even if the person in charge of Qinglan Restaurant were present, they would probably be so embarrassed that they would dig their toes into the ground, smile dryly, and apologize, not daring to scold him. After all, how many people dare to scold the famous President Fu?
“Listening to Mr. Fu’s tone, have you ever eaten the cloud cake specially made by the Imperial Chef?” Gu Wenning asked quietly.
Fu Yanhe nodded without hesitation, “Of course.”
Gu Wenning sneered silently, thinking that Fu Yanhe was quite good at bragging. The last dynasty with an emperor had been dead for hundreds of years, and the former residence of the last emperor had been turned into a tourist attraction. There was no imperial chef.
However, Gu Wenning considered that some countries abroad still retain the tradition of royalty even with a constitutional monarchy. In such countries, chefs who specialized in serving the royal family could indeed be considered royal chefs. Mr. Fu lived abroad most of the time, so it was possible he had actually tasted such cuisine.
Gu Wenning had no way of knowing that Fu Yanhe was referring to a distant past life.
The cloud cake was brought to Gu Wenning’s mouth, and he ate it slowly. Fu Yanhe continued to hold it up. After a moment, Gu Wenning said helplessly, “Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your kindness, but please don’t trouble yourself. I can handle it.”
Fu Yanhe shook his head. “As long as I’m here, my wife doesn’t need to do anything.”
What a blessing it was to be able to feed his wife personally. Especially when he saw him eating obediently, the sense of accomplishment he felt couldn’t be described in words. It was more satisfying than eating it himself.
“Wife, why don’t you take another bite? If it doesn’t taste good, you don’t have to eat it~”
Dr. Lin couldn’t help but be shocked. His pupils trembled, his body shook, and goosebumps appeared all over him.
Did he hear that correctly? What was that voice just now?
Or was it from his own boss?
It seemed like he was acting coquettishly.
Help, this tycoon only knew how to play the role of a villain! He was using cute voice to cheat someone!
He was shocked. The power of love was so mysterious and powerful that it actually made the boss speak with a cute voice. He learned to speak in a sweet tone. His small voice was paired with a face that was ascetic and cold, with a 360-degree angle; the contrast was simply overwhelming.
Dr. Lin felt that he could not stay there any longer, so he packed up his medical kit and left quietly. The follow-up precautions could be done by sending a WeChat message to the boss or making a phone call. There was no need to tell him in person, otherwise he would not be able to wait until later, he might get heart attack in that room!
He had been shocked enough that day; he did not need to be shocked anymore.
Shocked, yes, shocked. He rarely used “shocked” to describe his mood, which felt like riding a roller coaster with ups and downs.
Gu Wenning was also shocked.
For a moment, he even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Cute sound!
Behaving in a spoiled manner!
No word went well with the person in charge of the Fu Group.
But when he saw the pair of shining phoenix eyes in front of him and the man’s handsome face with an expression similar to that of coquettishness, it was difficult for Gu Wenning to convince himself that he had heard wrongly.
