When Yang Yan returned home, the women were already back.

They were sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony, leisurely drinking afternoon tea.

However, unlike the usual laughter and chatter, the atmosphere in the house was a bit silent.

"What's wrong with you all? Why are you so listless?"

Yang Yan asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, just that these days feel too boring. We're not quite used to the way people do things around here."

"Yang Yan, when are we going back to Huaxia? I feel like I can't stay here much longer."

Wang Xue looked at Yang Yan pitifully and asked.

"What's the matter, homesick? If you're bored, you can go out and explore!"

"Besides, hasn't your modification shop been preparing to open?"

Yang Yan rarely saw Wang Xue in such a mood and asked with some suspicion.

"It's still being renovated, and the equipment and other things have already been ordered. We're just waiting for them to be delivered."

Shiya Jie intervened.

"Isn't that fine then?"

Yang Yan smiled and comforted them:

"Given the trends here, if your shop opens, you'll probably be too busy to handle it."

"So everyone should be confident, we'll definitely become the top car modification shop in the United States."

Hearing Yang Yan say this, the women's attitudes seemed to shift, and their moods gradually improved.

However, secretly, Yang Yan still took their words to heart.

He could sense that these women were genuinely homesick.

The next day, when Yang Yan arrived at the clinic, Catherine and Buman had already cleaned it inside and out.

Even the sofa that was covered in blood had been taken care of by the two of them.

Now it seemed only faintly pink, with no visible traces of blood.

"Why don't you two sleep a little longer? Why get up so early? We won't have any visitors at this hour."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

Catherine looked at Buman affectionately and said:

"I've gotten used to getting up early. Besides, I've slept enough these past few years. But I did wake up Buman, though."

Yang Yan nodded:

"Getting up early is good. In Huaxia, there's a saying: 'The morning is the key to the day.'

Waking up early has many advantages! At least in the morning, your mind is very clear."

"Mm!"

Catherine nodded in agreement.

"Dr. Yang, I memorized the book you asked me to yesterday."

Buman, who had been standing quietly while Yang Yan spoke with his mom, finally had a chance to speak and quickly said.

"Oh? Really? That fast!"

Yang Yan said in surprise.

Before leaving last night, Yang Yan gave Buman a book on puppetry illustrations.

In the Hidden World, this is a pastime.

However, this book is meant for those who can't leave the Hidden World.

For people in the real world, such books are like forbidden tomes, not meant to be seen.

Of course, Yang Yan didn't worry too much about it.

Since he was going to take Buman as his disciple, that meant he already had one foot in the Hidden World.

Just last night, Yang Yan was considering introducing Buman to puppetry and directly gave the book to him.

Before leaving, he specifically asked Buman to memorize part of it.

Although it was just two short sections, considering his age, memorizing it was already quite an achievement.

"Do we have any patients coming today?"

Catherine glanced at Buman, who was thrilled after being praised by Yang Yan, and asked.

"Yes! There might be a guy coming today. But don't worry, I've already prepared for his condition. All that's left is for him to come and pay up."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

After saying this, he went straight into the clinic.

As usual, he sat behind the counter and started to doze off.

But just as he was about to meet the Sandman, his phone suddenly rang.

He checked the phone and saw it was Zhou Hanyun calling.

"Hanyun? What's up?"

Yang Yan asked.

Usually, if there was nothing important, Zhou Hanyun wouldn't call him.

Because Zhou Hanyun knew he might be doing something very important and feared interrupting him.

"Yang Yan, do you have time now? Can you accompany me to a jade gambling market?"

Zhou Hanyun asked.

"A jade gambling market? They have such a place here?"

Yang Yan had been to jade markets before.

But those were in Cainan Province or Myanmar.

It surprised him that there would be one here in the United States.

Western culture is different from Eastern culture.

In Western culture, their love for gemstones surpasses that for jade or jadeite.

Thus, Yang Yan was a bit puzzled by Zhou Hanyun's words.

"Yes! I just got a message from Yunyun, saying there will be a large raw stone exhibition in the Chinatown here today."

"She said there would be many good things, so I want to check it out and try my luck. Can you accompany me?"

Zhou Hanyun asked.

The United States is not Huaxia.

Here, buying a gun is much easier than buying a knife in Huaxia.

Naturally, Zhou Hanyun didn't dare to go alone to such a mixed place.

"Chinatown?"

Yang Yan pondered for a moment, then said to Zhou Hanyun:

"Alright, wait for me at home, I'll come over."

"You're going out? What if that patient comes?"

Catherine looked at Yang Yan, somewhat worried, and asked.

"That guy?"

Yang Yan handed a small bottle to Catherine, smiled, and said:

"If that guy comes, give him this. Tell him to take one pill a day and come back in three days."

After handing over the bottle of medicine to Catherine, Yang Yan left.

To him, that old guy Guzman was nowhere near as important as Zhou Hanyun.

Moreover, his condition wasn't just any ordinary illness but a curse.

Even lifting it wouldn't be a matter of just a day or two.

Back home, after Yang Yan met up with Zhou Hanyun and Han Ruyu, he felt someone was missing, and immediately frowned and asked:

"Where's Hanyu? Why are only you two here? Where are the others?"

Zhou Hanyun laughed and explained:

"Today, Wang Xue's equipment arrived, and Hanyu went to help them receive the goods."

"It's just the three of us going to Chinatown. Why, is there a problem?"

"No."

Yang Yan lightly shook his head and didn't say more.

With Zhou Hanyu not going, Yang Yan naturally had no problem.

Over the past few days, he'd thought about it and realized that Wuyan and Han Ruyu's changed attitude towards him had a lot to do with Miss Zhou Er.

Without her, it would indeed be much more relaxed.
