SRGA Chapter 56: Bingning, Call Me a Good Husband
Luo Bingning joyfully asked, "Lin Tian, can you start treating Grandpa now?"
Lin Tian replied, "Let's start tomorrow. Grandpa Luo should rest well for now. Recovering requires a considerable amount of vitality."
"It's a bit tiring for Grandpa Luo to come all this way today. Besides, his condition isn't urgent. Starting tomorrow shouldn't be a problem."
Luo Yongqian nodded.
As long as he could recover, one or two days didn't matter much.
"Bingning, talk to Grandpa," Lin Tian said as he got up to wash the dishes.
It had been agreed earlier that Lin Tian would wash the dishes while Luo Bingning cooked.
"Bingning, walk with Grandpa downstairs," Lin Tian instructed.
"Today, after flying and driving so far, my butt is numb," Luo Yongqian joked as he and Luo Bingning left the house.
Once downstairs, Luo Yongqian smiled and said, "Bingning, tell me, what's the likelihood of Lin Tian becoming my son-in-law?"
Luo Bingning blushed and replied, "Why are you asking that? We're already married, isn't he already your son-in-law?"
"You know what I mean," Luo Yongqian smiled. "If you don't tell me, I, old fogey, won't know whether to continue supporting you two."
"Your parents are still strongly opposed."
"It's fifty-fifty," Luo Bingning whispered.
"Hmm?" Luo Yongqian looked at Luo Bingning in surprise.
It had only been about ten days since Lin Tian and Luo Bingning got married, and Luo Bingning believed there was a fifty percent chance they would stay together?
"Bingning, have you... have you already... with Lin Tian?" Luo Yongqian's face turned red instantly.
"Grandpa, how could you say that? That's not true. We've only held hands. We're already married; we can't even hold hands?" Luo Bingning replied, her face flushing.
Luo Yongqian was puzzled.
Just holding hands, the relationship couldn't progress so quickly.
"Grandpa, although Lin Tian appears ordinary, he's actually quite exceptional. He meets the standards of a first-class athlete in running, and he's also a fast swimmer. A few days ago, he saved a child in the sea."
"His proficiency in playing the guqin has reached the professional level."
"His medical skills are even more remarkable. When we were at the orphanage, he treated three children, and later in the hospital—"
As Luo Bingning spoke, she walked slowly with Luo Yongqian, telling him about some of Lin Tian's achievements. Luo Yongqian listened attentively, surprised by what he heard.
It was like night and day compared to the information he had gathered.
Was it really the same person?
"Bingning, according to what you said, Lin Tian does seem impressive," Luo Yongqian remarked.
Luo Bingning nodded. "Your granddaughter isn't bad either. Whether we stay together in the future depends on his performance. Hmph."
Luo Yongqian muttered to himself that Lin Tian, his prospective son-in-law, probably wouldn't be able to escape. It had only been about ten days, after all.
Luo Bingning was now quite curious about Lin Tian.
A woman's curiosity about a man often marks the beginning of her downfall.
"Bingning, on the way here, I told him that if you two aren't compatible, and you divorce a year early, I'll give him ten million. If it's two years early, I'll give him twenty million."
Luo Bingning's heart tightened.
Was Lin Tian going to take thirty million and leave?
With that much money, he could find many beautiful young women.
"Grandpa, please don't meddle in this," Luo Bingning said sullenly. "Our relationship is our business; we'll handle it ourselves."
Luo Yongqian smiled and said, "Lin Tian refused. He said if you want a divorce, you can do it anytime. He's already set his sights on you."
"He doesn't want money if we divorce."
Luo Bingning's slight sense of frustration disappeared instantly.
"Grandpa, I promised three years, and I definitely won't divorce within three years. You don't need to worry about me; I'm fine."
Luo Yongqian smiled. "As long as you two get along well, Grandpa will feel relieved. Don't blame Grandpa for this marriage contract."
"I won't," Luo Bingning shook her head. "This is my own choice."
The next day arrived quickly.
After breakfast, Luo Bingning didn't rush to go to work. She eagerly waited for Lin Tian to start treating Luo Yongqian.
"Bingning, look, Grandpa is your grandfather, and I don't feel right charging him. How about you call me a good husband instead, and that will cover the medical expenses?" Lin Tian whispered as Luo
Yongqian went to the bathroom.
"You're taking advantage of the situation," Luo Bingning teased, giving Lin Tian a playful glare.
Lin Tian chuckled, "Calling me that would boost my morale, and with better spirits, I can treat your grandpa better."
"You're naughty."
"Bingning, Grandpa will be out soon," Lin Tian said as Luo Bingning pouted.
As the condition worsened, the treatment became more challenging.
"Hey, Lin Tian, why is this silver needle trembling all the time?" Luo Bingning asked, looking at a silver needle Lin Tian had just used.
"This is vibrating needle technique, it's normal," Lin Tian explained.
He had infused a trace of internal energy into the silver needle. With internal energy assisting in the needling process, acupuncture would be much more effective.
"It feels tingling," Luo Yongqian remarked.
Lin Tian smiled, "Grandpa Luo, after acupuncture, you'll feel much more relaxed, and the numbness in your hands and feet will disappear."
"After four or five acupuncture sessions, two weeks of medication, and daily exercise, you'll be almost back to normal."
After about ten minutes, using acupuncture and internal energy, Lin Tian helped Luo Yongqian expel a considerable amount of stagnant qi and cleared some meridians.
"Bingning, get some tissue," Lin Tian instructed.
Luo Bingning quickly brought some tissues. Lin Tian withdrew the needles, and as he used internal energy to draw out, a drop of black stasis followed the silver needle.
With over ten silver needles, most of them expelled stagnant blood.
"Grandpa, try moving around and feel it," Lin Tian smiled.
Luo Yongqian got up and moved around.
He looked pleasantly surprised, feeling much lighter, and the numbness in his hands and feet had disappeared.
"Lin Tian, you're incredible."
"With your acupuncture skills, you deserve the title of a divine physician. With this skill, you can easily achieve both fame and fortune."
Luo Yongqian exclaimed in amazement.
