Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 386 - 417: Huge Misunderstanding
Chapter Four Hundred Seventeen
Bai Susu felt groggy, as if she had been in a very long dream.
She dreamed she was back to being twenty years old.
She dreamed she waited for his return, instead of a box of ashes.
Blearily opening her eyes, she saw a man, his handsome and resolute face so familiar, and her hazy vision immediately brightened with joy.
"Brother Xiao... I’ve missed you..." Stay tuned for updates on novelbuddy
Auntie Su’s throat suddenly emitted a faint voice, although it was very soft.
Long Xiaoshan caught it clearly.
Long Xiaoshan abruptly bit his tongue and broke free from Bai Susu.
He exclaimed, "Auntie Su, it’s me."
Bai Susu’s body trembled, and Long Xiaoshan’s voice brought her fully to her senses. She stuttered, "Xiaoshan, how... how is it you? Why are you on my bed..."
"You fainted..."
Long Xiaoshan hurriedly sat up and quickly explained the whole situation.
"So that’s what happened..."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Bai Susu’s eyes.
Long Xiaoshan quickly said, "I’ll go out now. You rest a bit more, and if there’s anything wrong, just call for me."
Not daring to stay any longer, Long Xiaoshan got out of the bed and ran out quickly.

Bai Susu’s mind was in chaos.
It took a while before she calmed down significantly. She was no longer a young girl and wouldn’t completely lose her composure over a misunderstanding. She slowly sat up. Although she had just woken up, her body didn’t feel uncomfortable. Instead, she felt more refreshed than she had in the past few days. Recently, she had been busying herself with the company’s expansion, sleeping less than four hours a day, and she was exhausted.
The feeling now was as if she had fully woken up, feeling alert and refreshed.
She got out of bed and walked out of the room, stepping on the water on the floor.
Long Xiaoshan was sitting on the sofa on the first floor. He felt somewhat awkward and wanted to leave but also worried about Bai Susu’s health, so he stayed there. He took out his phone and called Bai Xuehen to tell her everything was alright. He didn’t mention Bai Susu’s near-fatal heart attack because he feared Bai Xuehen would worry. He had just hung up the phone,
When he heard a noise on the stairs, he turned and said, "Auntie Su, why did you come down?"
"I’m fine now, I feel very good," replied Bai Susu with a slight smile, looking as if she had already forgotten everything that had just happened.
Seeing that Bai Susu didn’t seem to take the recent incident to heart, Long Xiaoshan also felt relieved. He comforted himself internally, reasoning that Auntie Su, who was so kind to him, wouldn’t blame him. Bai Susu walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Long Xiaoshan said, "Auntie Su, should I check you again?"
"Sure," Bai Susu extended her wrist to Long Xiaoshan.
After examining her, Long Xiaoshan said, "You’ve recovered, but Auntie Su, how did you have a heart attack? What about the Magical Bracelet I gave you? Weren’t you wearing it?"
The Magical Bracelet could regulate the body, and under normal circumstances, if Bai Susu were wearing it, a sudden heart attack would be very unlikely.
"I’ve been incredibly busy lately. I took it off to shower a couple of days ago and forgot to put it back on. I’ve been a bit scatterbrained," Bai Susu explained.
Long Xiaoshan knew Bai Susu’s health was not the best to begin with. Combined with overworking, there was a real risk of sudden death... With this in mind, he guiltily said, "I didn’t consider everything thoroughly. I only focused on expanding Bai’s Medicinal Materials, almost causing you to have an accident. If something had truly happened to you, I would never be able to atone for it."
"It’s not that serious; I was the one who was being greedy, it’s not your fault," Bai Susu said gently.
Long Xiaoshan felt even more remorseful inside. Bai Susu’s nature was not one to like such complex business dealings. She was just comforting him by saying that. He said, "Auntie Su, from now on, you don’t need to worry about the company’s development. I’ll hire a professional manager. You can just be a hands-off boss."
"Is that... okay?"
"Of course, now where are there big companies with billions in assets personally managed by their owners? I’ve already handed over my farm to a professional manager," he said.
"Then I’ll listen to you," Bai Susu considered it and indeed felt that her management was problematic.
Previously she only managed a company worth a hundred million, but now that it had suddenly expanded tenfold, her own level was not sufficient to sustain it, so the busier she was, the more chaotic it got, and the chaos made her busier, until it wore her down.
