Chapter 1697: Chapter 1683
Wen Zaao took a deep breath, then closed her phone, trying hard not to think about all these messy things.
But her mind seemed out of control, always thinking of those two words, thank you.
Yeah, now they’ve become so formal with each other, yet it’s only been a little over three days.
Wen Zaao’s gaze fell outside the window, watching the street scene quickly left behind by the car, her mood was too complicated to describe.
The driver glanced at Wen Zaao from the rearview mirror, noticing she hadn’t spoken since getting in the car, "Miss, you just said to keep going straight, where exactly are you headed?"
He couldn’t just keep driving forward indefinitely, right? If he did, they’d soon be out of the city center.
Wen Zaao came back to her senses, frowned at the driver, and said, "I want to go to Renhe Hall Pharmacy."
Renhe Hall Pharmacy is one of the largest pharmacies in the city center; she needed to buy bloodworm there. It seemed more reliable to go to a big pharmacy.
The driver sighed, then asked, "Young lady, did you just come out of the hospital?"
Wen Zaao ignored him, but she silently complained in her heart, isn’t that obvious? She got on the car right at the hospital gate!
"Young lady, I can see you’re quite young, you must learn to protect yourself while out in the world."
The driver looked seriously at Wen Zaao through the rearview mirror and suddenly said earnestly.
Wen Zaao was surprised, "What?"
"Nowadays, young girls don’t behave properly, getting involved with men at such a young age and ending up pregnant is so common, honestly I..."
Before the driver could finish, Wen Zaao had figured out what he was getting at. She angrily glared at the driver and shouted, "Stop the car!"
The driver was baffled by Wen Zaao’s sudden outburst, "What’s the matter?"
Wen Zaao just thought this driver was insane. She just left the hospital and he assumes she’s pregnant, now because she wants to visit the pharmacy, he thinks she lacks self-respect; it’s just too much!
Her mood was already bad, and now hearing such unpleasant accusations made her even angrier.
After the car stopped, Wen Zaao got out. As she was getting out, she unapologetically said to the driver, "I’m going to the pharmacy to buy medicine! I was at the hospital to see a patient!"
With that, she slammed the car door shut.
She didn’t know what kind of expression the driver had behind her, but she knew her own expression must have been as unpleasant as stepping in dog poop when leaving the house!
Luckily, the place where she got off was not far from Renhe Hall Pharmacy, so she reached it shortly.
At the entrance of Renhe Hall, Chu Ge stood there dressed in a black coat. Wen Zaao walked quickly, anxious and in a bad mood, she didn’t even notice Chu Ge.
It was Chu Ge who stepped forward to stop her, "Zaozao."
Wen Zaao looked up, a fierce look on her face, "Who is it!"
Chu Ge raised an eyebrow, what a temper, still not small.
"What’s wrong with you?" Chu Ge asked, "Who upset you?"
Seeing it was Chu Ge, Wen Zaao exhaled forcefully, "I’m really mad, just now in the car, that driver’s thoughts were so filthy."
"The driver?" Chu Ge looked a few times behind Wen Zaao, but didn’t find anything, "Did you just come by taxi?"
Wen Zaao nodded, "I’m so mad, I should have scolded him a few times! It really frustrated me!"
Chu Ge was a bit speechless, "I remember the regulations here, you can file a complaint?"
Wen Zaao paused for a moment, then lifted a hand to pat her forehead, "Yes, how did I forget about that!"
She stomped her foot in anger, "It’s really easy to forget things when furious! I’m so mad, if I meet him again, I’ll definitely report him!"
Chu Ge couldn’t help but smile wryly, "What? Do you still want to meet that person again?"
In a normal situation, shouldn’t one stay away from such people? Wen Zaao must have been confused by anger.
Chu Ge looked at Wen Zaao as if she were a strange creature, giving a light cough, "I’m not wrong, am I? Do you want to meet him again?"
Wen Zaao shook her head vigorously, "I definitely don’t want to meet that person again, he’s infuriating."
She waved her hand irritably and said to Chu Ge again, "Enough about that, what are you doing here?"
"Came to buy medicine, I was worried you’d forget, so I came to check."
Wen Zaao pouted, "Is my memory that bad!"
She glared at Chu Ge, her gaze falling on his hands, "Where’s the medicine you bought?"
Chu Ge shook his head, "They don’t sell it here, not only that, they said they’ve never even heard of it."
Originally he thought if they didn’t sell it, they could help arrange a special order, money was no issue, but the problem was they didn’t even have the medicine, so money was useless.
"Renhe Hall doesn’t have it?"
Wen Zaao was puzzled, Renhe Hall is one of the largest pharmacies here. If even they couldn’t get the medicine, could smaller places really have it?
The two of them went from Renhe Hall to Hongren Hall, and from Hongren Hall to Tianhe Hall, all renowned big pharmacies here with hundreds of chain stores.
But even these big pharmacies didn’t have bloodworm, which was quite perplexing.
Chu Ge looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure the name is bloodworm?"
Wen Zaao nodded, "Yes, it’s clearly written in the diary my father left me."
She remembered vividly, at that time she made sure to confirm the name several times.
Chu Ge was even more skeptical, "Does the diary mention where to buy this bloodworm?"
Wen Zaao shook her head, "I didn’t really pay attention to that part."
Chu Ge rubbed his temples. He had also seen that diary, but because there were some different words between his time and the modern era, he didn’t recognize some, researching was a bit troublesome, so he left a lot for Wen Zaao to do.
But now it seemed, Wen Zaao might not be very reliable either.
As they walked, they reached the entrance of the pharmacy Zhou Laowai visited during the day.
Wen Zaao stopped and looked up at the pharmacy, the storefront was small, and inside was quiet, "Should we go inside?"
They had visited many big pharmacies and quite a few small pharmacies as well, it felt hopeless.
Wen Zaao’s words carried a bit of frustration and disappointment, sounding quite hopeless.
Chu Ge glanced up and nodded, "Since we’ve come this far, let’s go in and ask."
After all, they had asked in so many places, one more wouldn’t hurt.
Upon entering, the shopkeeper was seated at the counter playing on his phone, hearing someone approach, he stood up and said, "Hello, what can I get for you?"
Wen Zaao politely approached and asked, "Hello, do you have bloodworm?"
