Chen Xiao was instantly flustered. He tried his best to control his gaze, but ultimately couldn't control his mouth and hands:
"Alright, I'll help you apply it."
Song Nuan watched as Chen Xiao's fingers inevitably brushed against her flawless skin while applying the medicine. Her naturally alluring face gradually turned red, her eyes filled with affection, and her heart pounded wildly.
Her delicate body leaned towards Chen Xiao as if out of her control. She gazed into his eyes with captivating charm:
"Darling, I really like you so much. Will you be my boyfriend?"
"Cough... cough cough..."
Just then, accompanied by a very fake cough, Wu Huixian, holding a small infant, suddenly appeared at the slightly ajar doorway. Her face was haggard, and her tone was icy cold:
"Chen, come out for a moment. I need to talk to you!"
Song Nuan was instantly so embarrassed that she quickly put on her clothes, then fled as if chased, covering her flushed face. She looked back repeatedly, blowing kisses and whispering tenderly:
"Darling, you go ahead and be busy. I'll come back tomorrow morning to take care of Aunt Qing, mua—"
In front of Wu Huixian, Chen Xiao's face turned a deep red. After Song Nuan drove away, he chuckled awkwardly with a face full of embarrassment:
"Huixian, the baby you're holding is your sister's, right?"
Wu Huixian turned away stubbornly, not letting Chen Xiao see the infant. Her tone became even colder, her expression as if she had swallowed gunpowder:
"I ruined your good time. Aren't you angry?"
Chen Xiao thought Wu Huixian was in a bad mood because of Wu Huimin's illness and didn't think much of it. He casually changed the subject:
"How is your sister now?"
Mentioning Wu Huimin's uterine cancer, Wu Huixian's eyes instantly dimmed. She no longer cared about Chen Xiao flirting with other women and sighed, shaking her head:
"My father has already accompanied her to the Provincial Medical University's First Affiliated Hospital overnight for a hysterectomy. As for her newborn daughter, she was diagnosed with congenital intellectual disability, with only a one percent chance of recovery. Her brother-in-law's family didn't want her, so my father forced me to abandon her. But I couldn't bear to, so I hid the baby from my father and brought her home. I planned to tell you and then take the baby back to the provincial capital, Shenwu City, to work and raise her. Shenwu City is also known as Longdu, and she was born in the Year of the Dragon, so it might be beneficial for her..."
She subconsciously looked down at the sleeping infant in her arms, her voice suddenly becoming incredibly firm:
"Baby, whether you are healthy or sick, your aunt will raise you to adulthood!"
Chen Xiao was clearly not expecting the usually quiet and gentle Wu Huixian to make such a shocking decision. He was stunned on the spot. After a long while, he said with great urgency:
"Let me examine the child first. Don't forget what I told you before. Although the probability of her congenital intellectual disability is one hundred percent, it can be completely cured through postnatal treatment."
With a bitter smile, Wu Huixian repeatedly shook her head:
"Brother Xiao, stop comforting me. Even Deputy Director Zhou and Vice President Jiang from your hospital admitted that the chance of recovery is only one percent. You and I are both beginners who just left school. How can we possibly cure it?"
Although she said that, she couldn't help but gently hand the infant in her arms to Chen Xiao. She had graduated with a specialization in newborns, so of course she knew how to care for a baby.
Chen Xiao carefully took the baby and reached out to touch the infant's rosy little hand. The mysterious and profound wordless golden formula in his mind immediately activated. He quickly understood the infant's condition. Then, he placed the baby on the examination table and gently unwrapped the swaddling clothes.
Although his movements were extremely gentle, the sleeping infant was still woken up.
But because she had just been born last night and had congenital intellectual disability, the infant didn't cry when she woke up. Her features were dull, and her expression was rigid.
Wu Huixian was instantly heartbroken:
"Brother Xiao, how could you place the baby directly on such a hard surface? And it's cold and rainy, she'll easily catch a cold without being swaddled. She's not getting breast milk and her resistance is weak. If she catches a cold, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
As she spoke, Wu Huixian was about to re-swaddle the infant.
Chen Xiao rummaged through drawers and cabinets, took out hundreds of silver needles, and quickly sterilized them. He suddenly spoke to stop her:
"Huixian, please believe me. My acupuncture can really cure her, and it will be effective at once!"
Wu Huixian was instantly stunned. A flicker of deep hope involuntarily flashed in her haggard eyes:
"You... you are really confident?"
Since childhood, she had always been willing to believe Chen Xiao. Therefore, without waiting for Chen Xiao to reply, she withdrew her hands that were about to swaddle the infant.
Chen Xiao said nothing more. He gently unbuttoned the infant's onesie and began to perform acupuncture. What he used was the Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend Star Needle, the same one used on Xu Jingyin's younger brother, which specialized in treating various congenital diseases caused by poor fetal development!
