After Rebirth, the Miracle Doctor Wife Is No Longer Humble!

Chapter 9: Favorable Feeling

The flow of time in the small world seemed to be different from the outside world. Next time, she would have to study it.

Ye Ling was lost in her thoughts when a figure appeared at the door. Min Nan walked in, holding a food box in his hand.

"Are you hungry? Have something to eat." Min Nan opened the food box, and in an instant, the rich aroma of chicken soup filled the ward.

Ye Ling didn't expect the police officer to bring her dinner. She was pleasantly surprised and thought that the police officers here were kind. She decided to write a thank-you letter to the police station another day.

Ye Ling wasn't someone who acted pretentiously, so she didn't refuse Min Nan's kind offer. She took the celadon bowl, had a few sips of the chicken soup, and exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

A slight smile formed on Min Nan's lips.

In the afternoon, he first returned to the police station. Seeing that Wu De and Wu Bai's statements were nearly completed, Dai Wei had someone contact the relevant departments in the county. He believed that the notification of Wu Bai's punishment would be issued soon.

As for Wu De, it goes without saying that he would have to spend several years in prison.

Min Nan had a high opinion of Dai Wei's ability to handle things. He reminded Dai Wei to investigate Ye Ling's social connections and find the person who intended to harm her.

Afterward, Min Nan returned to Willow Village.

Willow Village and Stone Village were separated by only a river, so they weren't too far apart. Min Nan's godmother lived in Willow Village, and this time, Min Nan stayed at her place.

The bowl of chicken soup that Ye Ling drank was made by his godmother, Sun Li.

Upon hearing that Min Nan had asked her to help make chicken soup, Sun Li immediately felt that something was amiss. Min Nan was usually a rough man who would eat whatever was given to him, and she had never seen him actively request anything to eat.

Being scrutinized by Sun Li's peculiar gaze, Min Nan had no choice but to tell the truth, "I have a friend who's not feeling well and has had a scare. I wanted to nourish her."

A friend? What kind of friend? A girlfriend?

Seeing Min Nan's evasive eyes, Sun Li's face instantly lit up with a smile. She wished she could immediately bring that girl over to have a look. For all these years, she had been worried that Min Nan's cold and aloof nature would hinder him from finding a wife. Yet, unexpectedly, Min Nan had now become enlightened and even knew how to show concern for others.

Sun Li promptly selected the plumpest hen and used her best culinary skills to stew a pot of fragrant chicken soup.

Min Nan knew that his godmother had misunderstood. He wanted to take care of Ye Ling only because he felt guilty. Once this matter was resolved, he and Ye Ling would return to their respective paths in life.

Although Min Nan could vaguely sense that he had a good impression of Ye Ling, he felt that it was not love. Perhaps it was just a natural impulse for the opposite sex at his age. Coupled with his guilt and pity for Ye Ling, all these feelings mixed to form a complicated good impression.

But this did not mean anything.

He was not a proactive person.

In the ward, Ye Ling finished her chicken soup and wiped the corner of her mouth. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "Officer, I still don't know your name."

Min Nan pursed his lips and neatly put away the bowl and chopsticks. "My name is Min Nan."

Ye Ling earnestly remembered his name.

Min Nan picked up the food box and went to the sink to rinse the dishes. As he returned from washing, he overheard Ye Ling in conversation with the doctor, inquiring about the person who had brought her to the clinic.

"Doctor, it's alright if you don't recognize the person who brought me to the clinic. But can you describe what he looks like? What kind of clothes was he wearing?" Ye Ling's tone was sincere, tinged with anticipation.

Min Nan's body stiffened momentarily. He was just about to push the door open and interrupt their conversation when he heard the doctor say, "That person had small eyes, very dark, and seemed to be around forty years old. He also had a fierce appearance!"

Hearing the doctor's deliberately absurd description, Min Nan felt speechless.

He knew that the doctor was intentionally exaggerating to conceal the truth. However, he found it both amusing and exasperating.

While Ye Ling was conversing with the doctor, she spotted a figure standing at the door and greeted with a smile, "Officer Min!"

The doctor turned his head and saw Min Nan walking into the ward expressionlessly. Realizing what he had just said in front of Ye Ling, the doctor smiled awkwardly and hastily excused himself, saying, "You two continue talking. I'll take my leave!"

Min Nan sat on the chair beside the bed and looked at Ye Ling. "Are you still inquiring about that person?"

Ye Ling nodded, her eyes revealing her regret without concealment. "As the saying goes, one should repay a favor with gratitude. He saved me, yet I didn't even say thank you. I didn't even get the chance to repay him."
