After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 461 - 357: Second Update

"Auntie, do you have any hobbies?" Ning Youguang asked with a smile once the mother and daughter had calmed down.

"I used to, but not anymore," the mother said, embarrassed.

"Auntie, since you’ve got the family matters sorted out, you can explore your strengths and interests during your free time and develop some hobbies. After all, your daughter is all grown up, you can freely do things you like. This way, your focus won’t be confined to just the home," Ning Youguang smiled, "Being able to do what you love can effectively relieve stress, boost confidence, and build resilience, allowing you to find happiness without relying on others."

"I get it," the daughter chimed in encouragingly, "Mom, don’t you really enjoy drawing? Let me enroll you in a painting class at a senior university. You should learn, paint, and not stay at home with Dad all the time. He has work to unwind, but you don’t. You should find something to do and a comfortable place to switch things up."

"Alright, alright." The mother nodded eagerly and with joy.

...

The sunlight slanted from the west outside, quiet and serene.

Ning Youguang held a hot cup of water and watched the mother and daughter walk away arm in arm through the rising steam, smiling gently.

In interpersonal relationships, many people have a misconception: "I’m hurt, so I’m justified." Little do they know that the truth should be, "I’m hurt, so I change."

In reality, in this world, we can’t change anyone.

If we feel sadness, despair, pain... and want relief, we can’t depend on anyone else; it’s only by hoping in ourselves and starting with changing ourselves.

And changing the world also starts with changing oneself first.

Once their figures disappeared completely around the corner.

She took out her phone, opened Weibo, edited a post, and sent it out—

[An Ordinary Person: The cleaner your home, the cleaner your heart.]

Casually, she picked a question from the comments to answer—

[An Ordinary Person: Regularly get rid of things. Stay well! @A Dreamer: Teacher, what things can improve life quality?]

At the same time.

In the comments section, Shi Wangyue quietly left an ambiguous comment—

[A Fan of Ordinary Life: My home is empty, simply because the one I love is not by my side.]

...

That night.

Shi Wangyue sent Ning Youguang several pictures, showing some famous and unknown artists’ artworks he’d recently collected.

After finishing her writing tasks for the day, Ning Youguang opened her phone and was extremely surprised to see these images.

She immediately initiated a video call, which was answered in seconds—

"What are you up to?"

Shi Wangyue, dressed in pajamas, sat cross-legged on the floor with bare feet, a blank white wall behind him.

"Just figuring out how best to hang these paintings."

Ning Youguang asked curiously, "Didn’t you not like paintings? Why did you suddenly buy so many?"

"It’s true I don’t like paintings, but I like watching you enjoy them." Shi Wangyue quirked an eyebrow, wearing gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. In his black silk pajamas, his pale skin, his lazy, casual stance, he exuded an alluring intellectual charm.

It was... quite captivating.

Ning Youguang couldn’t help but laugh.

As she laughed, she covered her eyes and complained inwardly, "What a schemer, always up to something."

After her silent grumbling, she couldn’t help but sigh at her own weakness, starting to regret not moving in with him over such a little trick.

"So, when are you coming over to see the paintings?" Shi Wangyue asked, laughing along.

Then, he stood up and turned the camera, revealing the newly collected paintings spread out on the floor for her to see.

"Do you like them?" he asked joyfully.

The overhead light shone through his glasses, casting a glow on his face, dazzling yet nowhere near as charming as the smiles at the corners of his eyes.

"I love them." Ning Youguang nodded, "I truly do."

Loving the paintings, and also the person.

"Do you feel happy?" Shi Wangyue asked again with a smile.

"I do." Ning Youguang smiled gently, her voice soft and sweet, "My happiness today comes from the paintings you collected for me, from your constant thoughtfulness."

And the joy at the corners of your eyes.

...

As it neared bedtime.

Ning Youguang gently advised Shi Wangyue, "Even if you don’t like going out, take some time to bask in the sun and breathe some fresh air. Don’t just stay cooped up at home outside of work, okay?"

Shi Wangyue pouted, "Without you with me, even the sun feels less joyful."

Ning Youguang rubbed her forehead, "Be good, don’t pout."

Shi Wangyue, with a hint of grievance, said, "I miss you, can’t sleep, still want to see you."

"I miss you too," Ning Youguang sighed helplessly, "Go to sleep, don’t sit on the floor, it’s cold."

"There’s underfloor heating," Shi Wangyue replied, "Can I come see you?"

"I’m going to sleep, good night." The cold and unfeeling Teacher Ning resolutely ended the video call.

...

Rui’an Square, Xingguang Investment Fund Company.

Outside, the wind howled, and snow fell like goose feathers.

Inside, the heating was turned up high.

Assistant Jin, dressed in a thin black suit, stood by Shi Wangyue’s desk, methodically reporting:

"Mr. Shi, for the upcoming week, you have an internal company meeting on Monday. From Tuesday to Thursday, there are no prearranged domestic meetings or events. However, the board meetings and entrepreneur consultations with companies like AO, Corp, EDms, GMph, etc., abroad still require your attendance as scheduled. The weekend is entirely your personal time."

"Alright, noted," Shi Wangyue nodded and took out a big red envelope from the desk drawer, handing it to him, "Have a pleasant trip tomorrow, and please convey my regards to your father and mother."

"Thank you, Mr. Shi." Assistant Jin accepted the red envelope with both hands, "I wish you a Happy New Year as well."

"Thanks," Shi Wangyue nodded, "Head back early today to pack, see if there’s anything you need to prepare as gifts for your parents and family, and if not, maybe take a walk around the mall."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Shi."

With the big red envelope in hand, a joyful Assistant Jin headed out, but paused right as he was about to open the door.

"What’s up?" Shi Wangyue asked.

Assistant Jin turned back nervously and said, embarrassed, "Wishing you a happy new year and hoping you marry Teacher Ning soon."

So that the boss wouldn’t be alone in Beijing for the New Year like this year.

Shi Wangyue chuckled softly, "I’ll take your kind words to heart." 1314
