Chen Lan nodded, and she was completely relieved. She really didn't expect Xu Mingxuan to be so agreeable and understanding.
Chen Lan suddenly remembered that Xu Mingxuan was injured and asked, "Mingxuan Ge, let me see your wound. Father-in-law has good medicine. Let him get you some of their good medicine for healing."
Xu Mingxuan was somewhat reluctant to let Chen Lan see the wound, fearing he would scare her.
He quickly stopped her, saying, "No, no, it's almost healed. It'll be fine after a few more months of rest."
Chen Lan reached out and gently poked his right shoulder blade with her finger. Xu Mingxuan gasped in pain.
Chen Lan's face turned cold, and she said unhappily, "This is called healed?"
Helplessly, Xu Mingxuan had to take off his shirt, revealing his injured right shoulder.
Chen Lan was startled when she saw the wound, and her scalp tingled involuntarily.
There was a pit the size of a wine glass on Xu Mingxuan's right shoulder blade. The healing of the outer skin and flesh indicated that it had only recently healed. The wound was red.
After examining the wound, based on its healing condition, Chen Lan opened her system with her thoughts to search for health information.
The system screen displayed that based on the wound's healing condition, an external application called "growth factors" could be used to promote wound cell growth and accelerate healing.
Alternatively, a traditional Chinese medicine called "Kangfuxin Liquid," which has the effect of removing necrotic tissue and promoting tissue regeneration, could be used externally.
Chen Lan quickly placed an order for these items. She also bought Sanqi tablets and Yunnan Baiyao powder, which promote blood circulation, invigorate blood, and accelerate wound healing.
Additionally, she bought an external medication with good anti-inflammatory effects, erythromycin ointment, as well as alcohol and iodine for disinfection, and cotton swabs.
Xu Mingxuan was stunned when he received the medicine.
Chen Lan ignored him. First, she disinfected him with alcohol, then applied the external medication "growth factors" with a cotton swab, spreading the medicine evenly on the wound. She then poured a glass of water and had Xu Mingxuan take Sanqi tablets orally.
She decided to observe the therapeutic effect of these two medications first, and if they weren't effective, she would switch to the other one.
After applying the medicine to Xu Mingxuan, the couple leaned against the headboard and continued to chat about their future plans and arrangements.
As they talked, Chen Lan fell asleep. It was indeed that using her thoughts to collect branches into the system warehouse during the day had consumed a lot of her mental and physical energy.
Seeing that Chen Lan had fallen asleep, Xu Mingxuan covered her and the two babies with blankets. He then prepared to sleep himself. He had been busy rushing and handling affairs during this period and hadn't had a good rest for a long time. Soon, he also fell asleep.
The next morning, when Chen Lan woke up, she saw a scene that made her both amused and exasperated, a very comical sight of father and his two children.
She saw Xu Mingxuan sitting on the bed, staring at the dragon-phoenix twins, their eyes wide open, looking at each other speechless.
The dragon-phoenix twins sat on the bed with their four big eyes wide open, gazing blankly at Xu Mingxuan without blinking. Xu Mingxuan looked bewildered and unsure of what to do.
As soon as the dragon-phoenix twins woke up and opened their eyes, they saw a stranger sitting on the bed looking at them. The twins also sat up and stared at their father in a daze.
Seeing this comical reunion between father and children, Chen Lan couldn't help but chuckle.
Hearing their mother's voice, the dragon-phoenix twins turned in unison and quickly crawled towards Chen Lan. After crawling over, they neatly turned around and sat back on the bed, continuing to stare curiously at Xu Mingxuan with their eyes wide open. Su Dan Fiction Network
Xu Mingxuan looked at the chubby, rosy-cheeked, carved-like twin babies. He reached out and picked up Jia Yao, saying, "Come, good son, call out 'Dad,' good boy, say 'Dad.'"
Jia Yao stared at him blankly and continued not to speak. The father and son remained in a stalemate, staring at each other.
Tears began to well up in Jia Yao's big eyes, and his little mouth began to pucker, a sign that he was about to cry.
Chen Lan quickly intervened to ease the situation between father and son. She took Jia Yao from Xu Mingxuan's arms and held him, saying, "Mingxuan Ge, the dragon-phoenix twins rarely see strangers. Today is your first meeting, and you're suddenly asking him to call you 'Dad' with such a serious expression. He doesn't even understand what 'Dad' means. Don't scare him."
Xu Mingxuan said dismissively, "Lan'er, Jia Yao is a boy. How can he be as fragile and timid as you say? He'll be the one to carry on our Xu family legacy in the future. You can't spoil him too much."
Chen Lan was amused by Xu Mingxuan's words and laughed. She said, "Mingzhe Ge, you need to understand that Jia Yao is only nine months old, not yet ten months. Are you talking about him carrying on the family legacy too early?"
Xu Mingxuan said awkwardly, "I, I was just afraid you'd spoil him too much. Just a reminder! Isn't there an old saying, 'A kind mother often spoils her son'?"
Chen Lan originally wanted to argue with him further, but then she thought better of it. After all, Xu Mingxuan was born and raised in the 1950s, and his idea that "boys should carry on the family legacy when they grow up" was understandable.
She didn't want to continue arguing with him over this topic, lest it damage their harmony.
So, she immediately changed the subject, saying, "Mingxuan Ge, we need to quickly dress the twins and wash them up, then feed them well. Mother-in-law will be here to rush us soon."
With that, she began to quickly dress Jia Yao. Seeing Chen Lan busy dressing Jia Yao, Xu Mingxuan picked up Jia Hui's clothes, preparing to hold her and dress her.
Jia Hui was not as patient as Jia Yao. Seeing Xu Mingxuan reaching out to pick her up, Jia Hui immediately turned and crawled backward.
However, she couldn't escape Xu Mingxuan's long arms. Seeing her try to crawl away, he stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
And just like that! Jia Hui's crying immediately echoed throughout the house.
Startled, Xu Mingxuan immediately let go of Jia Hui and stood by the bed, at a loss.
Her mother-in-law rushed over, knocking on the door, and exclaimed, "Lan'er, what's wrong with Jia Hui? Why is she crying so loudly first thing in the morning? Is Jia Hui's stomach bothering her again?"
Chen Lan continued to dress Jia Yao while signaling Xu Mingxuan to open the door. She replied, "Mom, it's okay. Jia Hui is fine. She's just a bit shy with strangers."
Meanwhile, Xu Mingxuan quickly walked to the door and opened it, inviting his mother-in-law in.
His mother-in-law walked to the bedside, picked up Jia Hui, patted her back, and cooed, "Jia Hui, oh! Oh! Don't cry, don't cry. What's wrong? Why is our Jia Hui crying so sadly?"
Seeing his mother-in-law asking, Xu Mingxuan looked slightly embarrassed and quickly explained, "Mom, I'm not sure what happened. As soon as I reached out to pick her up, she started crying like this."
