Chapter 189 - 189 Luo Jin’an Knew All Along
189 Luo Jin’an Knew All Along
Luo Jin’an did not say anything, so Su Binglan became puzzled. Luo Jin’an just stood by the side quietly when they reached home. He was listening to her without making a sound or moving, which made Su Binglan guess he was thinking about something else.
Su Binglan looked at her husband and asked, “Did you hear what I said?”
Luo Jin’an started coughing, “Cough, ahem.”
Su Binglan’s heart jumped to her throat when she saw her husband coughing weakly. She hurriedly patted his back and asked, “Are you feeling sick again? Did you take your medicine on time? Why are you coughing again?”
Su Binglan had made a lot of medicine for Luo Jin’an so he would have enough to last him a few days. She even thought of making them into pills so her husband could have an easier time taking them. After all, boiling the herbs before drinking them was more troublesome.
Luo Jin’an cleared his throat and said, “I’m okay. Don’t worry about me.”
Su Binglan replied, “You’re coughing, yet you’re telling me not to worry. I won’t be at ease leaving you like this.”
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife calmly, and it looked like a whirlpool was in his eyes, wanting to swallow her whole. “Are you worried about me?” He asked.
Su Binglan did not know how to answer his sudden question, so she nodded.
Luo Jin’an continued, “If you go to the capital, I’ll also…” He stopped halfway through his sentence.
Su Binglan’s eyes lit up as she looked at her husband expectantly. Her eyes shined brilliantly, and they seemed to be able to speak.
Luo Jin’an looked into his wife’s eyes and guessed what she was thinking. It was as if Su Binglan was saying, “Say it, say you’re worried about me.” He simply kept his thin lips closed, not saying a word.
Su Binglan was always more patient when talking to her husband. She looked at him and asked, “Do you know something?”
Luo Jin’an raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Binglan. He asked in a low and hoa.r.s.e voice, “Do you genuinely want to know?”
Su Binglan looked like a little girl, saying, “Yes, I want to know.”
Luo Jin’an said thoughtfully, “I’ll tell you when you return.”
Su Binglan said, “I see you’ve learned to keep me in suspense. I know you’re worried about me and that you won’t admit it. You’re rough around the edges but soft inside. Hmph.”
No matter what she said, Luo Jin’an would neither confirm nor deny her guesses. Still, Su Binglan wanted her husband to tell her he was worried. After some thought, she said, “Then I’ll come home as soon as possible.”
“Okay,” Luo Jin’an quickly responded.
Su Binglan seemed to have understood something. She sighed. “I know you want me to come home quickly, just like my parents. Don’t worry. I won’t put myself in harm’s way.”
Luo Jin’an said lowly, “Fighting in the capital is hazardous. Someone has stolen Hundred Herbs Hospital’s herbs, and the delivery person is missing.”
Su Binglan was stunned as she looked at her husband’s expression. “S-So you knew about it all along?”
Luo Jin’an nodded.
Su Binglan continued, “I told my parents something else because I didn’t want them to worry. Since that’s the case, you should know I’m going to the capital to save Wenxiu. I will bring him back safely and not let anyone stop me! No one can hurt Wenxiu.”
A dangerous aura surrounded Su Binglan when she said that.
As if she thought of something, Su Binglan said, “Although I don’t know what you’ve experienced in the past and whether or not anyone wants to harm you, you must live on no matter what happens.
“I will protect you as long as you’re my husband, and I will find you no matter where you go,” she said to rea.s.sure Luo Jin’an that he need not be afraid.
After all, Luo Jin’an was a member of the Su family because of her. Therefore, he would feel more at ease around the family whenever Su Binglan was around. However, he might feel a little awkward without her.
Still, Su Binglan would always consider her husband’s feelings and say something to make him feel at ease.
Luo Jin’an could feel his wife’s intentions. “I will remember that.”
He looked at Su Binglan calmly, and his eyes met hers. It seemed like he was telling her to keep her promises through his gaze.
Su Binglan understood the look she received from her husband. She said smilingly, “I always keep my promises.”
…
The Su family woke up early the following day and went to town for work. Although everyone stuck to their daily routine, the atmosphere was gloomy.
Su Binglan got busy and made plenty of desserts for the shop. Then she went to Drunken Cloud to deliver more supplies than usual.
Seeing so many goods this time, Mr. w.a.n.g said smilingly, “Miss Su, you are indeed an honest person. I asked for more goods last time, and you delivered.”
Su Binglan looked at Mr. w.a.n.g and said, “I’ll be leaving for a long trip soon. My big brother and his wife have a shop down there, so I’ll have to trouble you to look out for them if anything happens while I’m gone.”
Mr. w.a.n.g was stunned, but he hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Miss Su. You’ve helped Drunken Cloud tremendously, so that’s the least I can do to repay you. Moreover, my boss is an influential person, and no one dares to offend him.”
Su Binglan nodded gratefully. “Thank you very much, Mr. w.a.n.g.”
Mr. w.a.n.g replied thoughtfully, “You don’t have to be so polite even though we’re only business partners, Miss Su.”
He had always hoped to help the Su family because it would benefit him and Drunken Cloud. Mr. w.a.n.g knew Su Binlan was no ordinary person and that Drunken Cloud might have to rely more on her.
He thought of what his young master had instructed him to do and said, “I wonder where you’re going, Miss Su. The young master is also going on a long journey and might take a similar path.”
Su Binglan was unaware that Mr. w.a.n.g was talking about Xu Yunchu. She was still connected to the dark spirit’s memories but had already forgotten about him.
Su Binglan waved her hand and said, “That shouldn’t be, so it’s no trouble.”
Mr. w.a.n.g was stunned when he saw how straightforward and decisive the young lady was. He only heard later that Su Binglan was obsessed with the young master some time ago. However, it seemed to him that Su Binglan was avoiding the young master now.
Still, those might have only been rumors because the young lady before Mr. w.a.n.g was capable, unlike the rumors he had heard. Besides, Su Binglan was already married and even said she treasured her husband very much.
She even earned money so her husband could attend the academy. Such a young lady was a rare existence.
…
Su Binglan went to Hundred Herbs Hospital after leaving Drunken Cloud. When Doctor Wu saw her, he bolted upright and greeted her respectfully, “M-Miss Su, what brings you here?”
