Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife Chapter 4: It’s True That He Likes Her!

Gu Qingyao did not voice any objections, as she was well aware of the events that were about to unfold. After changing into a fresh set of clothes, Mo Beihan finished packing their bags and moved them into the vehicle.

The car was provided by his work unit. Despite being on leave, Mo Beihan held a unique status and was currently handling an assignment that required transportation, leading to this allocation.

During the seventies, automobiles were an incredibly rare sight.

In that era, even finding a tractor was a difficult task.

With Mo Beihan behind the wheel and Gu Qingyao settled in the rear, the pair departed from the location immediately.

Having stayed awake through most of the night, Gu Qingyao pulled a blanket from the luggage and lay down in the back seat.

It was a cotton blanket typical of that generation. Although the fabric was coarse and far inferior to the high-quality materials she had used in her past life, clutching it now brought her an immense sense of security.

Rebirth!

She had truly been reborn!

She had successfully altered the most tragic turning point of her previous existence, managing to escape the area with Mo Beihan ahead of schedule.

The vehicle traveled away from Linjiang City, charting a course toward the capital.

Once they reached a secluded stretch of road, Mo Beihan pulled over and moved to the back to check on her.

Mo Beihan was also feeling a surge of excitement. As he gazed at the young girl, he felt a deep yearning to marry her on the spot. However, he knew his Yao Yao was currently only fifteen years old and had not yet reached the legal age.

“Yao Yao!”

“Mhm!”

“Regarding last night, I acted that way because I was drugged while out on a mission. Please don't be afraid, and make sure not to tell anyone about it. If people with bad intentions find out, it would damage your reputation.

“Furthermore, I will take care of that man who broke in last night. Once you return, act as if you are completely unaware of the situation. If anyone questions you, simply maintain that I was worried about you being alone and decided to bring you home early. Do you understand?”

Gu Qingyao gave a submissive nod.

“Yes!”

Thinking back to her actions the previous night, Mo Beihan asked with a hint of curiosity, “What was that you gave me to eat yesterday? Did you have your silver needles on you?”

Gu Qingyao nodded in confirmation. “Yes, I had them. I gave you a medicinal pill. I... I came across the recipe in a medical book and attempted to refine it myself.”

Knowing that Gu Qingyao had studied medicine and possessed medical skills, Mo Beihan did not doubt her explanation.

He couldn't help but feel that if Yao Yao had acted the same way in their previous life, all those tragedies might have been avoided.

This life was playing out differently from the last, likely because he had intervened to save her from the initial shock, allowing her to remain so composed.

In her past life, she had been paralyzed by fear, trapped on the bed by that malicious scoundrel. She had eventually fainted from the terror before anything could happen.

A cold, murderous intent flickered in Mo Beihan’s eyes at the memory of her being unable to move. He would not show any mercy to Zhang Xiaohui and her daughter.

Everything had been resolved quite smoothly; Gu Qingyao was unharmed, which allowed Mo Beihan to finally relax.

“You haven't had much rest. Go ahead and sleep for a while. I'll wake you when we arrive. We'll get a bite to eat there before we head back home.”

Gu Qingyao lay down obediently. Mo Beihan tucked the blanket around her and gently stroked her hair.

In this lifetime, he vowed to cherish and protect this young lady, ensuring she would never have to suffer again.

Even though he had returned to the resource-scarce seventies, Mo Beihan was certain that his knowledge from his previous life would allow him to provide Yao Yao with a life of happiness.

As the car started moving again, Gu Qingyao watched Mo Beihan’s silhouette in the driver’s seat.

It was true—he really did love her!
