Leng Wanqing nodded quickly and replied, "Got it." Then she pushed open the door and rushed out, fearing that Leng Chuanjin might change his mind and scold her again.
She was so eager to get out that she almost bumped into Xia Sanghuan, who had been waiting outside the door.
Fortunately, Xia Sanghuan reacted quickly. She dodged to the side before the collision and even grabbed Leng Wanqing, who was about to lose her balance and fall.
However, the arrogant second young lady didn't appreciate it at all. Without even saying thank you, she glared at Xia Sanghuan with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Who told you to stand here? You almost tripped me up!"
Xia Sanghuan looked at her expressionlessly. For a moment, she thought that Leng Wanqing was as unreasonable as Xia Anying.
She wondered if it was Leng Wanqing's true nature or if she had been influenced by that woman after spending too much time with her.
Xia Sanghuan didn't want to waste too much time on her. After all, there were more important things to do than bickering with her.
She let go of Leng Wanqing's hand, and the latter lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Leng Wanqing was stunned. She never expected Xia Sanghuan to do such a thing.
Ignoring Leng Wanqing's angry shouts, Xia Sanghuan didn't even give her a look. She just turned around and walked into the study.
Before entering, she had mentally prepared herself for Leng Chuanjin's interrogation.
After all, he had confronted her because of his sister last time.
But the man seemed not to notice the commotion they had made at the door. He greeted her as usual.
"You're awake."
She was a bit stunned for a moment and then returned to her normal state.
"Yeah."
"Uncle Wang told me that you came to find me as soon as you got home."
"Do you have something to tell me?"
Actually, when he just woke up, his mood was a bit bad because of Leng Wanqing.
But when he learned from Wang Fu that Xia Sanghuan had come home and wanted to see him as soon as she got back, he had to admit that his mood improved a lot.
This was also one of the reasons why he didn't scold Leng Wanqing too much tonight.
Speaking of this, Xia Sanghuan's expression brightened up immediately.
"Second brother, don't get too excited about what I'm going to tell you next."
The girl took out her phone from her pocket and tapped on the screen a few times.
Then she walked forward a few steps with a smile and came to his side.
She held the phone in front of him and showed him a photo of a test tube filled with a light - pink liquid on the screen.
"This is the medicine that Professor He and I developed this afternoon. It can slow down the symptoms of Treeman Syndrome."
"We've already tested it on mice, and the results are very significant."
"Although the body structures of mice and humans are a bit different, Professor He and I have eliminated all the uncertain factors in the medicine."
"So there's no risk for Jing Zhan to take this medicine."
After hearing her words, he was a bit stunned.
Since Jing Zhan got this disease, he had been doing his best to find a way to save his younger brother.
He had consulted one doctor after another and tried one prescription after another.
He even went to quacks, but everyone just shook their heads and told him to prepare for the worst.
Until he met this girl in front of him.
She told him that his brother could be saved.
And she didn't just talk the talk. She actually took action.
After taking on Jing Zhan as a patient, she spent most of her time in the laboratory. Even on her days off, she was constantly reading materials.
Her efforts finally paid off. She really developed the medicine.
Although it couldn't completely cure Treeman Syndrome, for Jing Zhan at present, just relieving the pain caused by the symptoms and slowing down the speed of cell mutation was very significant.
He could hardly hide his excitement.
He couldn't help but grab the girl's out - stretched hand tightly.
Xia Sanghuan was a bit stunned.
She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it even tighter.
The man's hand was big and warm, completely wrapping hers.
After a long time, he finally said a word.
"… Thank you."
His voice was low, with a hint of indescribable emotion.
She understood and quietly stood beside him.
An inexplicable sense of connection came from their clasped hands, like a warm current flowing into their hearts.
For a moment, it seemed that there were only the two of them in the world.
The temperature in the room seemed to be rising, and her face began to feel hot.
She wanted to see the man's expression, but unfortunately, he always had his back to her.
Fortunately, Leng Chuanjin's emotions gradually calmed down, and the hand holding the girl began to loosen.
At this time, Wang Fu's voice came from outside the door.
"Master Leng, Miss Xia."
"Dinner is ready."
Hearing the butler's voice, he seemed to wake up from a dream and let go of Xia Sanghuan's hand.
He responded to the door.
"Uncle Wang, we'll be right there."
Then he stood up.
"Let's go."
He didn't turn around but just tilted his body slightly.
It was as if he didn't want the girl to see his face.
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
The girl stood there stupidly. There was still a bit of warmth left on the hand that he had just held.
She raised her hand and touched her face. Sure enough, her cheeks were hot.
Her face must be completely red.
While thinking about this, the girl fanned herself desperately with her hands, trying to calm down.
Fortunately, Wang Fu didn't come again after calling them once. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain herself if she went out in this state.
Moreover, she didn't want Leng Wanqing to find out what had happened between her and the second brother.
She had only told Professor He and the second brother about her trip to Qingshan Slope last time. She hadn't told anyone else.
But she met Xia Anying on the mountain.
There had been too many thorny things during this period, so she hadn't had time to think carefully about how her elder sister had tried to harm her.
Now that things were over, she naturally had time to analyze this matter.
As far as she knew, the butler and servants in the Leng family mansion were all carefully selected by Leng Chuanjin. They would never betray him.
Not to mention whether they would eavesdrop, even if they accidentally heard something, they would never inform others.
Moreover, who could they inform? After all, they needed to report when they entered or left the Leng family mansion.
She didn't believe that they had the ability to establish a secret information channel to inform the hidden enemies.
So, the only person in the whole house who would eavesdrop and tell others was Leng Wanqing.
