The corner of Qin Mei's eye twitched. She glanced at Jie Jingchen but didn't answer him.
Aunt Zhang wasn't her mother-in-law's sister, but the sister of her father-in-law's former wife. Having never met the woman or knowing what she was like, Qin Mei wasn't exactly looking forward to her arrival.
"Have you taken your medicine?" Qin Mei changed the subject.
"I have," Jie Jingchen replied, then asked, "Are you going to give Jing Qi her acupuncture now?"
Qin Mei didn't answer, asking instead, "What about you? Have you taken your medicine?"
A flicker of light crossed Jie Jingchen's eyes as a wave of warmth washed over his heart. The corners of his lips curved into a smile. "I have."
"Jie Jingchen, if you want to get well, you'd best take your medicine on time," Qin Mei reminded him. With a sidelong glance at him, she took her needle case from her small cloth pouch and headed to Jing Qi's room.
