Health was the greatest aspiration of a person who had been sick for a long time, especially someone like Chu Yi, who was young and intelligent. He was of noble birth and had immense wealth. He seldom lacked for anything, so he valued a healthy body even more.

Gu Qingyao smiled and said, “Don’t get so excited. With your health, you must maintain a positive outlook, but you must not get overly excited or upset. In the future, you must convalesce properly. These are the herbs that I compounded earlier based on your case. Follow the directions on the packet. There’s also a pill that I will make when I get back. I will get someone to send it to you tomorrow.”

Gu Qingyao was not yet prepared to reveal her status and negotiate with Chu Yi. She did not have sufficient trump cards in hand.

Chu Yi’s health was her biggest trump card!

So!

She had to let Chu Yi reap some benefits first.

After all, she was Mo Beihan’s wife, so Chu Yi was still somewhat wary. He continued to treat her courteously and accepted the medicine that Gu Qingyao gave to him.

He politely saw Cannon and Gu Qingyao off, then he left as well.

When he got back to his place, Chu Yi looked at the packets of herbs. He hesitated!

His subordinate looked at his master who had been silent for a long time and asked, “Sir, this medicine… let’s get someone to check it out first!”

Chu Yi sighed. “Tell me, do you think Gu Qingyao is telling the truth? Can she really cure me?”

The subordinate lowered his head and kept quiet.

Health was Chu Yi’s obsession. Over the years, he had lacked for nothing except a healthy body. As a result, he really, really wanted to be like a normal person.

But unfortunately, he lost that at a young age.

Now Gu Qingyao had given him hope. At the moment, he did not know if he should believe her?

“Why aren’t you speaking? You’ve been with me for so many years, and you understand many things. Tell me your thoughts.”

The minion hung his head and said softly, “Sir, right now, the most suspicious point is that Gu Qingyao is Mo Beihan’s wife. If Gu Qingyao were not Mo Beihan’s wife, then, Sir, would you believe her?”

Chu Yi was stunned!

If Gu Qingyao were not Mo Beihan’s wife, would he believe her?

Of course!

He had always treasured any chance to recover his health. Even if it was just a sliver of hope, he would not give up.

Gu Qingyao was Jiang Yiru’s last disciple and also the star of the international medical group that Cannon had recommended. She was such a young and talented doctor; he naturally was willing to let Gu Qingyao try.

But now, he was hesitating because she was Mo Beihan’s wife. He was suspicious and even… incredulous.

The subordinate said, “Sir, based on the current situation, Gu Qingyao probably doesn’t know about your relationship with Mo Beihan. Otherwise, she would not treat you.”

Chu Yi smiled, “Are you trying to say that Gu Qingyao doesn’t know? Mo Beihan has always been rather mysterious about his affairs, so he probably won’t tell a woman too much about such shady things. Therefore, I can assume that she doesn’t know anything and continue to let Gu Qingyao treat me. If it is effective, I might as well seize the opportunity and find a cure. If it’s not effective, I can stop at any time, and I won’t lose out. Correct?”

The subordinate thought for a while before saying, “It is risky but entirely possible.”

He knew how much Master Chu longed to be healthy.

Chu Yi immediately smiled and shook his head. He said, “It’s unlikely, almost… impossible!”

“Why?”
