Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1179

Chapter 1179: Misunderstanding
After observing her for a moment, Doctor Xie finally said, “Fine. I want at least 200 jars of the ointment. It would be better if you can get me 500 jars. Payment will be made upon delivery.”

“Understood. I will let you know soon,” Liu Hua said with a nod.

“Good.”

After their conversation concluded, Liu Hua stood up and said, “Doctor Xie, it’s not early anymore, I will take my leave first.”

Before they leave, Doctor Xie hands her several packets of medicine and says, “The weather is hot. Boil this medicine once a week and let your son drink it. Use three bowls of water and simmer until only one bowl remains.”

Liu Hua accepted the medicine and said gratefully, “Thank you, Doctor Xie.”

Waving her off, he said nothing more and returned indoors. Watching the door close, Liu Hua smiled and walked back to their home with her son in her arms.

Meanwhile, at Liu Piao’s house, Teacher Lin was looking at Liu Pan, who sat across from her in the living room. After a long, awkward silence, she finally couldn’t bear it anymore and asked, “Comrade Liu, I wonder what brings you here today?”

When Liu Pan heard her soft voice, he clenched his fists momentarily before saying, “Teacher Lin, today, I come to apologize to you for what my ex-wife did.”

Afterward, he stood up and bowed deeply to her. His action startled Lin Muai, and she quickly held his arm, saying, “Comrade Liu, you don’t have to do this. You have already apologized to me before.”

Feeling her soft hand on his arm, Liu Pan was stunned. Before he could react, the hand was withdrawn, leaving a lingering warmth on his arm.

Not knowing that her touch could affect him, Lin Muai said, “Comrade Liu, this matter has nothing to do with you. So, you don’t have to apologize to me again. Like you said, Comrade Shi was your ex-wife. Since the two of you have no relationship now, why should you apologize for her mistake?”

Hearing this, Liu Pan looked at her and saw her clear eyes meeting him without any trace of blame. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. The words he had prepared before he came here today were stuck in his throat.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Lin Muai felt helpless in her heart. This man was 13 years older than her, yet he was so honest and upright. It was no wonder that even after being mistreated by his ex-wife for so many years, he had endured it without complaint.

She gestured for him to take a seat and said, “Comrade Liu, this matter has been resolved since your sister already helped me get the compensation from Comrade Shi. What’s more, you have brought so many things today. Let’s drop this matter here.”

“In the future, I will just take a detour if I meet her,” she added with a smile.

Liu Pan was used to his ex-wife’s selfish, unreasonable personality and harsh words. Facing someone who spoke gently and treated him with respect and generosity, he was at a loss. For a moment, he felt his heart skip a beat.

After a while, he finally found his voice and said, “Teacher Lin, even if you say so, this happened because of me. At the very least, I should send you to the hospital for a check-up. It would be bad if there are any lingering effects on your health due to this.”

Lin Muai looked at him and saw his stubbornness. It seemed he wouldn’t let this go unless she agreed to his request.

Although she didn’t mind interacting with him, the two of them should keep their distance, at least, for now. Otherwise, people might think there was truth to what Shi Qiwan had said.

But it would be impossible to keep her distance from him if he kept coming to see her. It seemed like she needed to go to the hospital with him.

After considering the pros and cons, she let out a sigh and nodded, “Then, I will trouble you with this, Comrade Liu.”

The moment she agreed, a smile appeared on Liu Pan’s face. It wasn’t stubbornness that made him insist on this matter, but gratitude.

Lin Muai treated his daughter very well, and he felt that if he did nothing after his ex-wife’s actions, his daughter might feel awkward facing her teacher in the future. He was doing this for his daughter.

Just after she agreed to go to the hospital with him, they heard a knock at the door. A man stood at the entrance holding a lunchbox.

Seeing him, Lin Muai stood up and asked in surprise, “Teacher Wang, what brings you here?”

Wang Muyang glanced at Liu Pan for a second before he looked at her and replied, “Teacher Lin, I heard what happened to you and came to visit.”

He walked into the living room and placed the lunchbox on the table while saying, “I made too much sweet and sour pork, so I brought some for you. Are you feeling better?”

Hearing this, Lin Muai said, “Teacher Wang, there was no need to trouble you. Sister Liu Piao made lunch for me, and I have already eaten. You should keep it for yourself.”

A flash of disappointment appeared in Wang Muyang’s eyes when he heard this He had made the dish specifically for her, knowing it was her favorite. He thought she would be happy, but she rejected it without hesitation.

When his gaze swept across the gifts on the table, he asked, “Teacher Lin, these are—?”

“Oh, these are from Comrade Liu,” Lin Muai replied with a smile.

Hearing this, jealousy welled up in Wang Muyang’s heart, and he clenched his fists. He didn’t understand why Lin Muai treated him so distantly while being so kind to this old man.

Sensing Wang Muyang’s hostility toward him, Liu Pan was confused. He looked at him and Lin Muai and a thought crossed his mind.

‘Are the two of them… together?’
