CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 460: HIS HEART DISEASE

He really didn’t want to see her again.

He was worried that the illness he’d been feigning would be exposed in front of the Divine Doctor.

"Of course it’s for your own good," Yan Qianyi said earnestly, "Think about it, if I only treated you a couple of times and then told Old Master Mu that your illness is incurable, he would definitely feel I hadn’t put my heart into treating you and would continue to look for other doctors."

"So, you either let me truly cure you."

"If you don’t want to accept my treatment, then you need to overcome your psychological issues yourself and lie to them, tell them you’re already well, so both you and I can save ourselves the trouble."

"But I estimate that this lie will be seen through, because every time Mu Feng is mentioned, your psychological issues flare up, after all, when you’re ill, it’s hard for you to control yourself."

"So, if you don’t want Old Master Mu to keep looking for doctors, we will need to drag this out a few more times, so that Old Master Mu knows I’ve done my best, and that looking for other doctors is useless."

"That way, you’ll be able to be free, right?"

Mu Chen furrowed his brow, pondering over what Yan Qianyi had said.

Suddenly, he felt that she made some sense.

Over the years, Old Master Mu indeed hoped he would recover.

If the Masked Divine Doctor could help him bluff his way through, it would be settled once and for all.

Yan Qianyi looked at Mu Chen and smiled, "But you’re controlling yourself quite well at the moment, I just mentioned Mu Feng’s name and you didn’t react at all. If you can keep it up in front of your family, then we can tell them you’ve recuperated."

Mu Chen paused for a moment.

"Can you do it?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Looking into her bright eyes, Mu Chen suddenly bowed his head in agony, his trembling hands digging fiercely into his hair, "I... I can’t..."

Yan Qianyi eyed him with contemptuous disdain.

He was putting on an act again.

He had showed no reaction just before.

It seemed that Mu Chen was very guarded against her, worried that she would see through his continuous feigning of illness.

"If you can’t do it, then we’ll just have to keep dragging this out. After a few more times, I’ll find an opportunity to talk to Old Master Mu."

Having said this, Yan Qianyi continued to watch her show, pretending she hadn’t noticed anything.

Mu Chen didn’t say anything more.

Half an hour later, Yan Qianyi stood up, ready to leave.

Mu Chen asked her, "When are you coming next?"

"Not sure, I’m quite busy, so we’ll see."

"Alright, then I won’t see you out. I hope you remember about the nondisclosure agreement we signed."

"Don’t worry, I’ve already taken the money. You don’t want to be treated, and I don’t want to force it, after all, patient cooperation is very important. However, if you change your mind and want to be treated properly, let me know at any time."

"Alright, thank you."

Mu Chen sighed with relief as he watched Yan Qianyi leave the study.

The way the Masked Divine Doctor had spoken at the end made it seem like she hadn’t discovered that his illness was fake.

Fortunately, he had refused her examination from the beginning.

If it had been discovered that he’d been feigning illness for years, the trouble would be great.

After Yan Qianyi went downstairs, Wen Shurou, who had been waiting, immediately went up to her, asking eagerly, "Divine Doctor, how is my husband’s condition?"

Yan Qianyi hesitated, then finally sighed and shook her head, walking away without saying a word.

Wen Shurou hurriedly followed, "Divine Doctor, what exactly is the situation now? Please don’t scare me."

"It’s not very optimistic. After all, it’s a heart disease that has accumulated over many years, not easy to cure. Unless I can clearly understand the cause, it might not be treatable. I have to go now, I’ll come back another time to check the status."

"Let me see you out!"

Wen Shurou also got into the car.

Before the car had even left the Mu Family’s gate, Wen Shurou suddenly instructed the driver, "Xiao Xu, pull over and wait for me. I have something to discuss with the Divine Doctor."

"Alright." The driver steadied the vehicle and got out.

Yan Qianyi asked, "What is it? I already explained everything to you earlier."

"Divine Doctor, I’m really worried my husband will become mentally ill. There are some things that I think might help his treatment if I tell you."

"We’ll talk about it next time, I have another commitment today," said Yan Qianyi nonchalantly.

Wen Shurou said hastily, "It won’t take up much of your time, I’ll be quick."

Yan Qianyi glanced at the time, a sly smile flickering in her eyes, "Fine then, hurry up and speak."

Wen Shurou hesitated, "The thing I... I have to say relates to my husband’s past privacy, I hope you can keep it confidential."

"Maintaining a patient’s confidentiality is a basic professional ethic for a doctor, but if you don’t trust me, you are not obligated to tell me. I can continue treating him in my own way, and as to whether it will be effective, I can’t guarantee that either."

"It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just..."

"Madam," Yan Qianyi interrupted Wen Shurou impatiently, "I really don’t have time to concern myself with other people’s privacy. If you have reservations, better not to tell me. I also don’t wish to know too much, to avoid getting myself into trouble."

"Don’t worry, it definitely won’t cause you any trouble. It’s just some old stories," Wen Shurou pressed, anxious, "There is someone who I believe is the heartache of my husband."

"Who?"

"It’s... it’s Nangong Chun, whom you mentioned when you arrived just now."

"Nangong Chun?" Yan Qianyi laughed, "Madam, are you joking with me? How can Nangong Chun be his heartache? I really am busy and don’t have time to listen to you..."

"I’m not joking! It’s true! Don’t be in such a hurry, please listen to me."

Worried that the Divine Doctor would lose patience to listen further, Nangong Chun got straight to the point, "My husband used to like Nangong Chun!"

Yan Qianyi was taken aback, "Are you sure?"

Wen Shurou nodded earnestly, "Absolutely sure! Back then, my husband met Nangong Chun before my younger brother-in-law, but later Nangong Chun ended up with my brother-in-law. I know it’s been weighing on him ever since. It was in his moment of loss, that he and I got together."

Yan Qianyi dismissed it, "Just a youthful heartbreak, is it worth him dwelling on it for years? After all, he’s already married you and had children. Could you be overthinking it?"

"It’s not overthinking. I’ve known my husband for many years as his wife. I understand him the best. Nangong Chun must be a knot in his heart, which is why he has such an extreme reaction whenever my brother-in-law is mentioned."

Yan Qianyi secretly considered, no wonder Mu Ziqing mentioned hearing their brothers arguing, often bringing up Nangong Chun’s name.

So, Mu Chen had such a past with Nangong Chun!

Ah Lie probably didn’t know about the relationship between the three of them either.

She adjusted her emotions and continued to probe, "But these are things of the past, does he really have never let go of Nangong Chun in his heart?"
