Three years later …
In the southwest of the Dahui Kingdom, a small city that was as prosperous as Feng City appeared. It was called Fanluo City.
Visitors who had just entered Fanluo City would notice a strange phenomenon. There was no small town under Fanluo City. There was only a large, garden-style mansion that was made up of three unique private villas.
It was said that there were three famous owners in this mansion. However, the people who handled the affairs of the mansion were the stewards of the three villas. In the past three years, except for the residents of the mansion, no one knew what the owner looked like, what his family background was, and why the three villas were merged into one …
As for Fanluo City, it used to be the last of the thirty-one cities in the Dahui Kingdom. However, after three years of restructuring and changes, it had become one of the most prosperous cities in the Dahui Kingdom.
Why was that?
If you walked on the busiest main street and asked any resident, you would get the same answer: the current mayor!
However, there were many different answers to the mayor's description.
Some said he was handsome and dashing.
Some said he was romantic and elegant.
Some said he was extraordinarily charming.
Some said he was elegant.
…
In short, the only thing they had in common was that the mayor was a man, and a charming man who was admired by many women.
In Fanluo City, from old women in their eighties to young children, they were all fascinated by the mayor's outstanding skills and elegant demeanor.
In addition, he had brought more and more prosperous changes and development to Fanluo City. Even the men who always talked about the mayor's wife gave him a thumbs up.
They would never be jealous because of the mayor's wife's admiration for the mayor.
After all, the achievements in the past three years were obvious to all. The residents of Fanluo City had long developed heartfelt admiration and worship for the mayor.
This kind of worship and respect, which went beyond selfishness, united the people of Fanluo City.
This was what the so-called virtuous cycle referred to:
Prosperity — worship — unity — more prosperity — more worship — more unity …
…
After the governor of Fanluo City, Qingyang Medical Centre was the most popular topic among the citizens.
In three years, Qingyang Medical Centre had grown from a small medical center with only three shops to the largest comprehensive medical center in the city with three courtyards and four courtyards after cooperating with another small medical center in Fanluo City.
Although the citizens did not quite understand the word "comprehensive," after seeing the medical skills of the doctors in the medical hall and the medical equipment that the medical hall was equipped with, they more or less understood it.
It was said that the four doctors in Qingyang Medical Centre were familiar with pathology and were proficient in different fields of medicine.
The patients they received were also different.
The first courtyard of Qingyang Medical Centre was the consultation room of each of the four doctors.
From east to west, there were internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics.
In the middle of the four consultation rooms was a spacious and bright waiting room with rows of long wooden chairs.
The second courtyard was where the medical hall's staff rested and ate, as well as the storehouse for medicinal materials.
The last thing they entered was the private courtyard where the owner of the clinic lived.
The small southern town in May was already faintly feeling the heat of summer.
Noon was the busiest time of the day for Qing Yang Medical Center.
At the door of the waiting room, a bright-eyed girl of fourteen or fifteen years old sat in front of a long table with drawers.
After asking about the patient's condition, she neatly marked the consultation room and the department number of the day on the front page of the consultation book.
She smiled and accepted the ten copper coins, handed the consultation book to the patient, and led him to a wooden chair in the corresponding area to wait for the consultation.
"Next!" The bright-eyed girl raised her crisp voice and called out sweetly to the outside of the waiting room.
"Huh?" Seeing the person who came, she blinked and murmured in confusion, "Didn't you just leave this morning?"
"Qingqing!
Even you don't welcome me?! "
"Uh … No, no … Cheng … Brother Liang, please …" The girl called Qingqing waved her hands when she heard the other party's aggrieved tone.
She led him into the waiting room and watched him swagger to the obstetrics and gynecology room.
Well, Sister Yang won't blame me, right?
But the longer he waited outside, the more people he would attract. Sigh.
What if … the simple, kind, and gossipy citizens found out that … "he", who was respected by tens of thousands of people, was currently in their medical center? Who knew if this already crowded waiting room would be trampled flat by the crowd that would come one after another …
Qingqing carefully glanced at the group of women outside the waiting room who were originally waiting in line to see a doctor, but now they gathered together and whispered to each other. They must have already begun to suspect, sigh …
"Knock knock …" Yang Jingzhi had just sent away an expectant mother who was two months pregnant but had started to have abdominal pain when she heard a knock on the door before she finished taking notes.
"Please come in …" Her clear voice was neither high nor low, but her hands didn't stop moving. She felt that the person had already sat down across from her and asked without raising her head, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Not hearing the description as expected, Yang Jingzhi raised her head in confusion, "You …"
With a gasp of disbelief, her cheeks instantly turned red, then quickly turned green, "You!
What are you doing here?! "
"Asking you to go to Luoshui.
You clearly agreed this morning. "Liang Enzai's hands were on the table, his upper body slightly leaning forward, completely controlling her petite body in front of him.
"Don't mention this morning!" Yang Jingzhi urgently shouted in a low voice.
Once this morning was mentioned, she couldn't control the heat on her face.
Dammit, she clearly wanted to stay as far away from this devilish man as possible, but she couldn't stand his teasing again and again. She also sank into it from time to time.
Counting the days, since the night of her birthday two years ago, when they had finished the act of husband and wife, they hadn't stopped privately contacting each other.
When she was sober, she repeatedly warned herself that he wasn't someone she could touch. In another five years, he would leave here and return to his imperial capital to be a prince.
But once the curtain of night fell and she was pulled into his arms, she fell deeper and deeper.
However, he would always take advantage of her dazed and helpless state to finalize the next meeting or propose a proposal that she would never agree to when she was sober.
For example, accompanying him to Luoshui Courtyard.
Liang Enzai had bought Luoshui Town three years ago. After Fanhua and Qingtian, it was the last small town in Fanluo City. He had purchased it under his own name and remodeled it into his private garden-style residence.
He had told her more than once that it would be their home in the future.
But although she was moved, she didn't dare to believe it. The responsibilities he carried on his shoulders were too heavy. How could he allow her to stay in a remote corner and accompany him through trivial days?
He should be devising strategies and discussing with the various civil and military officials in the imperial court how to govern the country. He should be wielding military power and negotiating or crusading against foreign invaders on the Dahui border … That kind of life was the future that he, Liang Enzai, should have … That kind of him, the one who could match him was definitely not an insignificant woman like her … She and he, shouldn't have started … But why …
"Ai!" Liang Enzai sighed deeply. He knew that the little woman in front of him had begun to let her imagination run wild again.
Could it be that his efforts in the past three years were not obvious enough?
Was it not enough to make her believe that he could give up everything, but only her …
"Let's go!" Without another word, he dragged her out of the gynecology and obstetrics department.
"Wait … Wait … Enzai, I still have patients …" She was powerless to stop his strong arms from clamping her. She could only be half-hugged and half-dragged by him to the door of the clinic.
"There are patients every day." How could he finish seeing all of them?
"But …" She couldn't just slip away halfway and let the patients wait in vain.
"No buts.
I used to listen to you too much. You said that you can't make it public. Okay, I'll wait.
You said that the clinic is important. Okay, I'll wait. I'll wait for the day when you want to make it public. I'll wait for the day when you take the initiative to look for me … Xixi, answer me honestly, will that day come? "
He simply stood still and didn't rush to open the door. Instead, he turned her little face to face him and his question.
"I …" Her face was pale and she bit her lower lip. How should she answer?
Of course, she wanted to make it public. She wanted to openly tell the women who coveted him that he was hers.
But … Could she?
Liang Enzai's deep eyes locked on her every move. He took in her pain and choices one by one.
"You should know that I'm never afraid of anything, but when it comes to you, I'm like a young lad. I don't know how to make you happy, how to make you rely on me, and how to trust me …" His magnetic voice was like a curse, making her unable to say anything that would hurt him.
The two of them stood face to face. He bowed his head and gazed at her affectionately. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look back.
If she said that she wasn't moved by his words just now, she would be deceiving herself.
But she still didn't know how to face it. This Liang Enzai made her feel unfamiliar, but also made her palpitate.
In her previous life, she didn't experience the taste of love. She was only immersed in her studies and work.
Medical was a difficult profession. If one wanted to learn it well, the time and energy that it took was simply unimaginable to outsiders.
Therefore, even if she lived one more life than ordinary people, what she gained was nothing more than the achievement of medical skills.
In terms of the subject of love, she was still an ignorant layman.
… …
Yang Jingzhi was still a little confused as to how the situation had developed to this point.
She only remembered that when she and Liang Enzai were in the gynecology and obstetrics clinic, a large group of patients broke in and squeezed out of the clinic with a smile. Then, she was carried by Liang Enzai into the carriage outside the clinic, all the way to Luo Shui Side Courtyard.
"You have a huge group of supporters."
Liang Enzai looked at her with a faint smile. "If I knew that a confession in the clinic would be so effective, I would have used it long ago …"
Yang Jingzhi glanced at him speechlessly. How could he be so calm?
Wasn't he the mayor?
Wasn't he supposed to be elegant and decent in front of the citizens?
How could he be so straightforward?
It seemed that … to him, the mayor's position wasn't something he was striving for. It was something that could be easily obtained and couldn't be escaped.
That's right, he was supposed to be a dignified military prince. Why would he care about the position of mayor of a small Fanluo City?
But even if he didn't care, he had sacrificed a lot in the past three years. Compared to the mayor of a neighboring city, the changes he had brought to Fanluo City could be said to be earth-shattering.
So, which one was he?
Was it the amusing and elegant man she had first met in the palace many years ago? Or was it the man who led the citizens of Fanluo City to prosperity? Or was it the gentle, mischievous, valiant man who didn't allow her to avoid or resist when she was with him in private …
