Song Tan did not notice anything unusual about Shen Yin’s actions.
His emotions were very stable, giving the impression that no matter what she said, he would not be surprised.
Of course, what Song Tan wrote in the message wasn’t meant to test him like before.
She just spoke from the heart, she wanted to let him do what he wanted to do.
It could be considered her conscience awakening.
“Do you want me to leave?”
Shen Yin came over with the medicine.
Song Tan blinked and shook her head.
A hired caregiver was certainly not as meticulous as Shen Yin’s care.
Caregivers wouldn’t hug her when she was cold.
Song Tan’s gaze fell on Shen Yin’s chest, and fragments of memories in her mind reminded her that when her body was cold, she shamelessly buried her face in his chest.
Ah… she really was shameless.
“Do you not want to take the medicine?”
In just a moment, Shen Yin had already taken out all of her medicine.
There were traditional Chinese medicines and Western medicines.
Song Tan didn’t even want to look at them, let alone want to take them.
Song Tan : “…” Although it wasn’t what she meant, it’s true that she didn’t want to drink this medicine.
It was too bitter.
And, because her throat was affected this time, inflammation medicine was added.
It was the concoction in Shen Yin’s hand.
The concoction wasn’t bitter, but the sickeningly sweet taste was even harder to swallow than bitter medicines.
“Drink this first.”
Song Tan’s eyes were full of resistance.
After taking other medicines before, when she drank this one, perhaps because she was already sick and weak, she vomited everything up.
At that time, her head was heavy, and she didn’t care about embarrassment.
But now, although her head still ached a bit, she was much more awake.
If she vomited again at this time, she would lose face.
“Don’t worry. Drink this first, then drink the others. You won’t vomit the medicine you’ve already taken.”
Shen Yin, seeing her worried look, reassured her.
“Do you want to eat candy?”
It seems like Shen Yin is like coaxing a child. Every time he gives her medicine, he also gives her a kind of candy.
Song Tan certainly knows that taking medicine is unavoidable, but every time she really wants to see him bringing candy to coax her into taking the medicine.
That appearance… somewhat resembles a father.
Of course, this is something Shen Yin can’t know.
She takes the cup from his hand, frowning, and drinks all the concoction in one go.
As it goes down her throat, she feels like vomiting.
But when she feels like vomiting, Shen Yin comes over, helping her down her back until that feeling is gradually suppressed.
Then, Shen Yin puts a piece of candy into her mouth.
The sweetness of the candy bursts in her mouth, overpowering the strange taste of the concoction.
Song Tan’s frowning face relaxes, and a smile appears on her face.
Even Shen Yin can’t help but smile.
“Like a child, needing candy to take medicine.”
Song Tan doesn’t say anything, but she laughs happily.
When she was very young, she had to have candy to take medicine.
As she grew older, to avoid worrying her Grandpa, she would take the medicine without him having to tell her.
Medicine is bitter.
But the candy put in her mouth can cover a lot of bitterness.
[ Anything more? ]
She still has a pile of medicine to take, and without candy, she doesn’t feel like taking it.
Seeing the message, Shen Yin helplessly nods and adds another candy to her palm.
The candy’s packaging is colorful, giving off a lively vibe.
Song Tan takes the medicine with a resigned look, pouring all of it into her mouth one by one.
Traditional Chinese medicine is the most bitter.
But perhaps because Song Tan has taken a lot of it, she doesn’t change her expression when drinking the most bitter medicine.
However, it can only be a momentary lack of expression.
After finishing all the medicine, her face wrinkles again, and she opens her palm towards Shen Yin.
She wants candy.
Shen Yin hands the candy in his palm to her.
Seeing her unwrap the candy, put it in her mouth, and look satisfied, a smile appears on his lips.
A bit… cute.
Shen Yin didn’t immediately go to work at Huo’s company as Song Tan suggested. Instead, he focused on finding someone to take care of her.
According to Song Tan’s condition, she can’t be left alone.
Therefore, he must find someone who can stay by her side and take care of her.
With Su Ran’s incident, this time when he looks for someone, he will specifically investigate the other party’s family background and social relationships.
To ensure the other party is innocent, meticulous, and has a good heart…
Although the conditions seem simple, finding the right person is by no means a simple matter.
Therefore, before the caregiver is in place, Shen Yin does not plan to go to Huo’s company.
Of course, there are other reasons as well.
He fought Huo Yanlin before.
Huo Yanlin now holds the power of the Huo family, so if Shen Yin wants to enter Huo’s company, he still has to consider Huo Yanlin.
However, Huo Yanlin seems to be giving him a warning.
Huo Yanlin is waiting for him to make a move.
Let’s see who can endure it better.
Huo Yanlin is indeed waiting for Shen Yin to come to him.
Shen Yin, for the sake of Song Tan, really used all his strength when he attacked Huo Yanlin; Huo Yanlin’s ribs still ache now.
On the other hand, when Huo Yanlin slapped Shen Yin, he didn’t use much force, just causing a slight cut.
Thinking of this, Huo Yanlin’s brows furrow.
The reason why Song Tan fainted was clearly her illness, unrelated to him.
But he hasn’t seen Shen Yin come over to apologize.
But he doesn’t care about apologies.
Through Song Tan’s illness, he saw Song Tan’s position in Shen Yin’s heart.
Shen Yin is truly a devoted lover.
Originally, he and the old man thought that Shen Yin was ‘biding his time’ and would take away the prescription and notes from Song Tan’s hands after she completely trusted Shen Yin.
But they couldn’t be sure if Shen Yin would stand on their side.
Now… seeing Shen Yin’s attitude towards Song Tan, they realized something; that Shen Yin’s feelings for Song Tan are likely genuine.
If it’s genuine affection, then Shen Yin definitely won’t help them.
But that’s okay.
As long as Shen Yin has someone he cares about, it’s equivalent to having a weakness.
Dealing with a love-stricken person is not a difficult task.
That’s how Huo Yanlin thinks, but he waited for a week and Shen Yin did not come to find him.
Instead, his wedding day is approaching.
Although Huo Yanlin deliberately tried to forget about this matter, the day that was supposed to come could not be avoided.
On the day of Huo Yanlin and Song Jiaojiao’s wedding, Song Tan’s throat was almost healed, and she no longer needed to communicate with people through WeChat.
However, Shen Yin was still quite nervous about her body, afraid that she might be blown by the wind again, so he got her a cloak.
The cloak had a hood at the back, and when they were about to leave, Shen Yin covered her head with the cloak’s hood.
In her arms, she held a hand warmer made of cotton.
Song Tan sized up her outfit and felt that she didn’t look much like a modern person; she seemed more like a lady who had traveled from ancient times.
Facing the wind, she unconsciously coughed twice.
Hmm… a delicate noble lady, at that.
“If your body can’t handle it, don’t force yourself,” Shen Yin advised.
Song Tan nodded.
While enjoying the drama was important, her health was more crucial.
But she felt fine now.
“It’s been a long time since I breathed fresh air.”
She had been lying in bed for a long time due to her illness.
Although the ventilation in the room was good, the air inside couldn’t compare to the freshness outside.
Now, taking a breath of fresh air, Song Tan felt like she had come back to life.
Yes, she had indeed been given a second chance.
She needed to cherish it!
Arm in arm with Shen Yin, Song Tan appeared in the front hall.
At this moment, there were already quite a few guests in the hall.
When the two of them appeared, many guests cast curious glances at them.
There was no other reason; the two of them were just too eye-catching.
Song Tan was wrapped up tightly, but she didn’t look heavy. On the contrary, it highlighted her slender figure. Just standing there made people feel like they were in a snowy field, with red plum blossoms blooming in the cold.
Beside her, Shen Yin, with his tall stature, had a faint expression on his face. Although he was dressed in casual attire, he inexplicably gave off the vibe of a refined young gentleman accompanying a noble lady.
In the hearts of the onlookers, a thought crossed their minds: Are these two people… like characters stepping out of a painting?
*Ding ding ding ding—*
Mechanical sounds emanated from Song Tan, and although the crowd regained their senses, they still threw curious glances at her.
Song Yan paused for a moment, and Shen Yin, by her side, pulled her wrist out from under the cloak. He rolled up the sleeve slightly, revealing the smartwatch on her wrist.
The *ding ding* mechanical sound was coming from that smartwatch.
“Your heart rate is too fast,” Shen Yin said, his brow furrowing slightly.
It’s just a walk from the room to the front hall, but she walks slowly, and her heart rate is too fast.
Song Tan glanced at him, feeling complicated.
It’s just a slightly faster heartbeat, there’s no need to be so nervous.
As for this heart rate watch, she didn’t really want to wear it, but today Shen Yin said he wanted to give her a gift.
She and Shen Yin are married, living like an old couple, and they haven’t exchanged gifts.
When Shen Yin said he wanted to give her a gift, the way he looked at her was so affectionate that it caught Song Tan off guard.
Just because of that glance, she agreed.
Then, she saw him take out this thing.
At that moment, Song Tan sighed in her heart: Can’t intelligence and emotional intelligence be proportional?
Who gives a heart rate watch as the first gift?
Although the gift of a heart rate watch was a bit unexpected for Song Tan, the way Shen Yin gave it to her was reminiscent of giving a ring.
So, Song Tan accepted it.
It’s just that this heart rate watch is a bit too sensitive. If her heartbeat speeds up a little, it will sound an alarm.
If she blushes a little and her heart beats faster, won’t she lose all her privacy?
On the way, Song Tan was thinking about how to find a reason to take off this heart rate watch.
Unexpectedly, before she got nervous, the heart rate watch sounded.
This little thing is really…
“Don’t be afraid,” Shen Yin said seriously to Song Tan.
Song Tan: ?
Shen Yin put his arm around her, protecting Song Sun in a defensive posture, then faced the approaching Huo Yanlin.
Huo Yanlin: ??
—What did Shen Yin mean just now?
Did he think that Huo Yanlin’s coming over was to intimidate his delicate and helpless little wife?
This love brain is really outrageous.
At this moment, Song Tan: “…”
Shen Yin should go to become an actor, his acting skills are much better than hers.

007 : You have a dog!!! You actually have a dog!!!1
rokumi’s note : umm, soo… she ate a sweet candy to suppress the taste of a sickeningly sweet medicine?
- most probably, the system is accusing Song Tan of cheating with the heart rate watch ↩︎
There are some sweet but not good flavors. Like fake nutrasweet and other fake sugars. Very sweet, but fepulsive aftertaste. Im thinking this is how the candy helped; it overpowered the bad sweetness of the medicine.
I just love her hubby. He is the best kind of sweetness.
Thanks for the chapter!!!!!
