Chapter 403: Wet Nurse Fang

Once the situation was under control, Long Shou immediately issued the Divine Dragon Order. He summoned the two War Gods who guarded the Capital, Wu Tu and Ji Earth, to lead their subordinates and swiftly move in. He also ordered that the units led by Song Gang and the others be broken up and transferred out of the Capital.

After gaining complete control of the situation, he immediately detained the Seven Great Elders of the Elder Council. All of them had participated in this rebellion, and a just trial awaited them.

Long Shou then ordered Chen Qingdi to act as the head of an expert team and gather evidence to sue the Sasabesni Company.

At this time, Long Shou convened the Divine Dragon Conference and re-elected the Seven Great Elders for the Elder Council.

The newly elected Seven Great Elders came from all strata of society, each an outstanding figure in their field. Upon taking their posts, they immediately brought their Life-Saving Skill to bear and quickly stabilized the situation.

Just then, backed by the detailed evidence Chen Qingdi had provided, the Sasabesni Company formally apologized to China. They paid a huge sum in US dollars, matching the compensation amount Chen Qingdi had demanded.

At that point, Long Shou summoned Chen Qingdi to his side.

“Your master and I are the closest of friends. I had originally planned to groom you to take my place in the future. But you… how can you have absolutely no ambition? What’s the point of always wanting to just vanish into obscurity?”

Chen Qingdi gave a wry smile. “I know how to be a doctor. But asking me to become the Long Shou, a man who wields ultimate power… that’s too much for me. It’s best to let the professionals handle their own work. I was a doctor before, and I will continue to be a doctor.”

Long Shou asked him, “How long do you plan to stay in the Capital this time? Frankly, I’m reluctant to let you go.”

Chen Qingdi replied, “As Fan Zhongyan said, ‘When high in the halls of the court, one worries for the people; when far out in the world, one worries for the sovereign.’ Someone like me can only exist far out in the world. But I can promise that if I’m ever needed, I will return at the first possible moment to help you with your burdens!”

Long Shou nodded. “We will all remember the things you’ve done for Long. Tell me, what favor would you like me to grant you? As long as it is reasonable and proper, I will agree to it.”

‘With his medical skills, he could easily become the wealthiest person in the world. What else was there to ask for?’

So, he smiled. “I have only one request, but I’m not sure if Long Shou can grant it.”

Long Shou’s eyes twinkled as he said with a chuckle, “Let’s hear it.”

“I only hope that you live to be a hundred years old!”

Long Shou burst out laughing. “Then I shall take you up on that auspicious wish! But I have a condition of my own: you must return every year to spend a month with me. We will witness the rise of the Dragon Country together!”

Chen Qingdi agreed. Just as he was about to leave, Long Shou spoke again.

“Let us send you back the same way we brought you here.”

Chen Qingdi quickly declined. “Coming here was a matter of state. My return is a personal affair, so we shouldn’t use public resources for private matters. I’ll just get a cab.”

Long Shou nodded. “I hear your child is a robust little boy who takes after you. As an elder, I ought to give him a small gift.”

An attendant who was waiting on him nearby brought over some high-end baby formula and handed it to Chen Qingdi.

“Please consider this a small token of our regard.”

The gift was small, but the sentiment was great.

After expressing his thanks, Chen Qingdi left Longdu with the gifts from Long Shou.

His subordinates were waiting outside the capital city. Seeing Chen Qingdi approach, Qian Laoliu was the first to hurry over.

“Sir, where are we going now?”

Chen Qingdi’s heart was already in Jinghai. They reached his villa in just five hours.

Shen Mingyue had already received the news and was waiting outside the villa, holding their child.

When he saw Chen Qingdi approach, the child actually broke into a silent smile.

Chen Qingdi rushed over and took the child into his arms.

“Shun’Er, did you miss your daddy?”

The baby’s little hand gently stroked his face, as if full of curiosity. ‘This person seems familiar… Why is he being so nice to me?’

Just then, a gentle-looking woman approached Chen Qingdi.

“Sir, allow me to take the child. You must be exhausted from your journey. Please go and freshen up.”

Shen Mingyue quickly explained to Chen Qingdi, “Honey, this is the wet nurse I hired. You can call her Fang.”

Seeing how kindly Shen Mingyue spoke of Fang, he knew she must be a trustworthy person. He asked casually, “Where does Fang live? Does she have any other family?”

Fang replied casually, “I live in the Minhang District. My husband is managing his company abroad, so I’m here in the country by myself.”

Chen Qingdi nodded. “In that case, Fang, your family shouldn’t be short on money. Why come and work as a wet nurse?”

Looking extremely awkward, Fang turned and went inside with the baby.

Mingyue shot Chen Qingdi a fierce glare.

“Fang’s husband is trying to divorce her. She’s refusing because of their child, so they’re giving each other the cold shoulder right now. Don’t go poking at her wounds.”

Only then did Chen Qingdi understand. Fang had moved in with her own child. Since she had a plentiful milk supply, she was now nursing both babies.

So, he instructed the nearby butler, “On my authority, double Fang’s monthly salary. Since she works for our family, she should be treated as one of us.”

Shen Mingyue’s expression finally softened. “Honey, you’ve lost weight. Come inside quickly and let me check to see if you’re hurt.”

In truth, Chen Qingdi had suffered a great deal in Longdu, but he had already recovered. The events there involved top-level secrets, so he didn’t want to speak of them.

So he said to Shen Mingyue, “I faced a few setbacks while I was there, but it’s all over now. From now on, let’s just focus on living a good life together.”

The couple entered the living room together, and Shen Mingyue said to Chen Qingdi.

“You stink. Go take a shower.”

The couple had been separated for over three months, and Shen Mingyue had fully recovered from childbirth.

Not only had she kept her figure, but she had also gained an even greater charm than before.

Captivated, Chen Qingdi wrapped his arm around her waist.

“Let’s shower together!”

Shen Mingyue pinched him hard. “Don’t be ridiculous! We have company!”

But Chen Qingdi didn’t waste any time arguing. He forcefully swept her up into his arms and carried her into the bathroom.

The bathroom door shut heavily and was locked from the inside, sealing them off into a world of their own.

The two Shuang’Er were now under Chen Qingdi’s orders to stay and help Shen Mingyue manage the household.

Seeing the loving couple, the two of them felt a pang of envy.

However, they knew that for now, they should give the reunited couple their space.
