Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her

Chapter 478

I originally thought the check-up would take quite some time, but it turned out to be very smooth and fast! It was all done in less than half an hour. The ultrasound, blood tests, and everything else were all completed.The specialist glanced at the relevant reports and said to Ye Yuning, "Your hormonal levels are imbalanced. I’ll prescribe some medication for you."

Ye Yuning was speechless. She *had* said it was just a hormonal imbalance, yet she still put herself through such a hassle.

PS: I know what you’re all thinking! But, seriously, there really are some embarrassing situations that are undiagnosable!

By the time the two left the hospital, it was almost six o’clock.

In the car, Ye Yuning was still sighing. "I understand now. If there’s any issue in the future, it’s better to come in the afternoon. It’s just too crowded in the morning."

She recalled the last time she’d been to the hospital; it was for a cold, and it had taken all morning. She only got an IV drip in the afternoon. Therefore, in her mind, the hospital was an incredibly crowded place; once you entered, you couldn’t expect to leave in less than a day.

Xiao Linye pinched her small cheek. "Of all things to think about, why the hospital!"

"You’re right," Ye Yuning said. "I really shouldn’t speak so carelessly. One shouldn’t just casually go to the hospital."

Xiao Linye smiled.

However, Ye Yuning looked at him, her expression utterly innocent. "How can you believe in that superstition too?"

Xiao Linye genuinely disliked hospitals due to some unpleasant memories. To him, they were places of life and death... Moreover, he hadn’t been involved in the medical field in his earlier years—not until after that person’s accident.

"It’s not about believing in superstition," Xiao Linye said. "I just don’t want you to always have to come to the hospital. If possible, I hope you never have to step through a hospital door in your entire life."

Ye Yuning was taken aback. Does this mean he hopes I stay healthy for my entire life? If that’s the case, then I really need to take much better care of my health. After all, with my current lifestyle, it would be impossible to stay perfectly healthy until old age.

When the two returned to Shanyu Pavilion, the auntie had already prepared dinner.

"Wow, is the auntie making two meals a day now?" Ye Yuning asked Xiao Linye.

Xiao Linye replied, "You really like her cooking."

That was true! Ye Yuning genuinely loved the dishes this auntie prepared. Although Xiao Linye’s cooking was also delicious, he had been doing it for so long, and she didn’t want him to continue working so hard.

Tonight, the auntie had made lobster and fish, along with some stir-fried vegetables. The dishes were colorful, fragrant, and appetizing, making Ye Yuning’s mouth water.

"Auntie, your cooking skills are truly fantastic!" Ye Yuning exclaimed after washing her hands and sitting down. The auntie had even prepared warming pads to keep the dishes from getting cold! It was undeniable; this auntie was incredibly thoughtful.

The auntie smiled and nodded. "I’m glad you like it, Madam. If there’s anything specific you’d like to eat in the future, you can call me in advance, and I’ll prepare it for you."

"Okay, thank you," Ye Yuning chirped happily.

For her, the most relaxing times were probably when she was at Shanyu Pavilion. If only she had been honest with Xiao Linye earlier, she wouldn’t feel so distressed now.

The auntie also decocted her medicine before leaving. Probably, Xiao Linye had informed her beforehand, which was why the auntie had also prepared single-dose pouches for the herbal medicine.

"It’s so bitter!" Ye Yuning exclaimed, feeling the urge to gag as she drank the medicine. She really couldn’t stomach this kind of concoction.

Xiao Linye said, "Bitter medicine often works best. Let me see if we have any sugar at home."

"Mhm," Ye Yuning nodded, her small face scrunched up in distaste. She truly couldn’t stand the flavor of the medicine.

Unfortunately, no one in their household usually ate sweets, so they were completely unprepared. In the end, Xiao Linye could only peel an orange for Ye Yuning. The citrusy flavor in her bitter mouth made things slightly more bearable.

"Exactly how much of this medicine did the hospital prescribe?" Ye Yuning asked. She had been holding a large bag earlier but had no idea how many doses it contained.

Xiao Linye replied, "There should be enough for twenty days!"

"Is the specialist you found reliable?"

Twenty days? That’s such a long time. Does regulating hormones really take that long? Ye Yuning was very skeptical.

Xiao Linye knew she was just afraid of taking the medicine. Seeing her pitiful expression, he chuckled. "Traditional medicine tends to work more slowly, but it’s very effective at treating the root cause of issues."

Hearing this, Ye Yuning fell silent. This was probably the main reason she opted for traditional Chinese medicine; it was all about eradicating the root cause.

"Did the specialist say how long it would take for the medicine to show effects?"

Xiao Linye said, "He mentioned you should see results within three days at most."

Does that mean I’ll get my period within three days? It seems like traditional Chinese medicine usually works like that. If you say it’s slow, well, looking closer, it’s not really that slow if it can resolve the superficial symptoms in three days. Then it gradually regulates things over time.

「 」

After being away on a business trip for a few days, Ye Yuning dearly missed her bed at Shanyu Pavilion. After her bath, she collapsed onto the bed, feeling drowsy, especially with the pleasant warmth radiating from behind her.

Xiao Linye gathered her into his arms, and Ye Yuning subconsciously struggled for a moment.

Sensing her apprehension, Xiao Linye tightened his embrace slightly and softly reassured her, "I won’t touch you while you’re taking your medicine."

Ye Yuning stiffened. To be honest, she really had been worried about this, but for Xiao Linye to say it out loud... His words made her feel truly cherished.

She turned and snuggled into his embrace. "Mhm~!"

Xiao Linye warned, "But don’t test my self-control."

He cherished her, but he was still a man!

His words immediately made Ye Yuning freeze, daring not to move.

Seeing her settle down so obediently, Xiao Linye sighed. He held her, feeling her breathing gradually even out, yet a sense of unease settled over him.

Then, as luck would have it, just as he was drifting off to sleep around midnight, Qin Jinchuan called.

Xiao Linye glanced at the time—it was already 3:00 a.m.—and answered the phone with some irritation. "What is it?"

From the other end, Qin Jinchuan’s voice was clearly tinged with anger. "Ask your wife what time her boss’s plane arrives!"
