Tonight, the two did not enter the space. After a bout of passion, He Jinxuan held Xinyan and kept reminding her about things to be cautious of while traveling.
He really couldnât stand the thought of separating right after getting married, but his wifeâs point was valid; it wasnât appropriate to take more leave right after the wedding leave.
Fortunately, he had contacted dispatch ahead of time and got the news yesterday that there happened to be a driving task to Sichuan. This made him incredibly happy.
However, he hadnât told his wife yet, planning to surprise her tomorrow.
He got up to bring some warm water and helped Xinyan clean up before finally holding her and falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, Xinyan was awakened by He Jinxuanâs kiss: "Yanyan, itâs time to get up, the Hao familyâs car should be here soon."
Upon hearing He Jinxuanâs words, Xinyan wrapped her arms around his neck and lazily asked, "What time is it?"
He Jinxuan caressed her cheek: "Itâs almost seven oâclock. I made the vegetable pancakes you love and Iâve cooled the porridge for you. Get up, freshen up, and eat breakfast."
Xinyan rubbed her face against his neck with her eyes closed: "Iâm feeling sore all over."
He Jinxuan tapped the tip of her nose: "Would you like me to give you a massage, or do you want to soak in the hot spring inside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two vanished from the room together.

On the other side, Mrs. Hao, Ding Xiulian, was already urging: "Yuanfang, shouldnât Xiao Li be leaving to pick them up?"
Hao Yuanfang glanced up at the clock on the cabinet: "About half an hour more, going too early isnât appropriate."
Mrs. Hao, Ding Xiulian, kept staring at that alarm clock, desperately wishing she could move the time forward by half an hour: "Didnât you say she still has to travel a long way today? If the timing isnât right and things are done carelessly, wonât our son suffer?"
Hao Yuanfang understood his wifeâs concerns: "Relax, Mr. Han is Du Guoshouâs student. He certainly possesses basic medical ethics, donât always assume the worst about people."
Hearing this, Ding Xiulian didnât look happy: "And yet youâre lecturing me, when all Iâm doing is considering our sonâs welfare?"
Hao Yuanfang didnât want to argue with his wife: "Anyway, if it werenât for their intervention, Xuejunâs surgery wouldnât have succeeded. People should be grateful.
Besides, we are the ones asking for their help. We canât disregard everything."
Ding Xiulian knew she was too anxious, but those experts did say early intervention with acupuncture would greatly benefit her sonâs recovery. The waiting truly made her frantic.
Finally, the time arrived, and she went straight to the door: "Xiao Zhang, hurry, drive over to pick her up."
After breakfast and tidying up, Xinyan heard a car stopping outside the gate.
He Jinxuan picked up Xinyanâs luggage and whispered: "Yanyan, I also have a driving task to Sichuan tomorrow. Once you get there, make sure to stay at the guesthouse I mentioned last night."
Now Xinyan understood why this stubborn man insisted on her remembering the guesthouseâs address and made her promise to stay there.
He Jinxuan didnât hide it anymore: "Iâve stayed there a few times. The environment inside is good, not only safe but the staff are also very friendly. The main thing is, I know the phone number there, so I can stay in contact with you."
Xinyan wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling both reluctant and touched: "Okay, I promise you."
Saying this, she kissed He Jinxuan on the cheek: "Donât worry, you know my skills, safety isnât an issue. Take care when driving, donât rush without resting, driving fatigued is very risky."
Watching Xinyan stare at him, He Jinxuan assured: "Donât worry, Iâll certainly listen to my wifeâs advice."
After watching her get in the car and seeing it disappear from view, he turned back to the yard to prepare for work.
The car drove Xinyan directly to the hospital.
When Xinyan got out of the car, Hao Yuanfang was already waiting there.
The two didnât say much; after greeting, they proceeded straight to the ward.
Xinyan checked Hao Xuejunâs pulse and nodded: "Itâs as I expected. After the acupuncture today, his bodyâs recovery and metabolism will accelerate, aiding his recovery.
By the time I return to the Capital, his body shouldnât be as weak as it is now. By then, he should be able to handle the acupuncture load."
After saying this, she had him lie down and skillfully prepared for the acupuncture.
Soon, a set of silver needles was inserted into the acupoints.
At this moment, Mrs. Hao, Ding Xiulian, who had been silent beside, spoke up after Xinyan finished: "You wouldnât be using traveling as an excuse, would you?"
Xinyan paused for half a second, she had a temper too: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Hao Yuanfangâs face was full of anxiety, thinking: "Itâs bad."
Previously, Mr. Mu had mentioned while recommending Mr. Han that highly skilled people often have a bad temper, especially this one, who never planned to pursue a medical career. If it werenât for Mr. Muâs intervention, plus her masterâs connection with their familyâs patriarch, she probably wouldnât have helped.
His wifeâs chronic habit had struck again, really contributing little except to mess things up. He was filled with anger: "Xiulian, shut up."
At that moment, the old patriarch of the Hao family had just entered and was also angry: "If you canât speak properly, then get out."
Ding Xiulian didnât expect her casual questioning to receive such reproach from her father-in-law and husband, she looked very uncomfortable, but her response was quick: "You misunderstood, I was just joking with Mr. Han."
Even though Hao father and son had spoken, Xinyan was quite displeased: "I find it absolutely humorless."
After speaking, she turned to leave: "Iâll be back to remove the needles in half an hour."
