Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Not Letting Madam Fuss Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Not Letting Madam Fuss The assistant didn’t understand: “What do you mean?”
Sheng Tingyuan didn’t explain.
Ten minutes ago, he had seen Wen Nianyou. She drove off in a hurry, almost hitting someone when she left the hospital. The person cursed at her, but she didn’t respond and sped away.
He instinctively felt that Wen Nianyou was probably racing to get to Qi Yunfan.
After all, at the police station earlier, he vaguely remembered that Wen Nianyou seemed very anxious about Qi Yunfan, as if she was afraid that Ye Chuyi would snatch him away, clinging tightly to his arm the whole time.
He took out his phone and called Ye Chuyi.
She almost instantly answered, “Mr. Sheng, is something the matter?”
“Have you gotten off work? Do you need me to take you home?”
“I am off work, but not completely, I have a surgery later and I have to stay on duty tonight, so I won’t be going back.”
“You sound like you’re in a good mood. Did something delightful happen?”
“It’s raining. I like the rain.”
“Is it just because of the rain that you’re so happy?”
“Hmm, not entirely. Mainly, I’ve just used a diversionary tactic to pair up two people I don’t like. Tell me, am I not clever?”
His previous guess was confirmed, and Sheng Tingyuan’s tone improved slightly, “Not bad.” Next time she used a diversionary tactic, it would be better if she didn’t use herself as the bait.
Because she was in a good mood, Ye Chuyi didn’t mind Sheng Tingyuan’s lukewarm “not bad,” said “I’ve got to get busy,” and then hung up.
The hospital streetlights illuminated her face, reflecting her happy expression.
Watching her, Sheng Tingyuan didn’t know why, but he chuckled softly too.
The assistant was astonished. The boss actually smiled?
He didn’t dislike rainy days anymore? He could smile on a rainy day now?
In the past, the boss’s mood would always be terrible when it rained, never showing a good face to anyone. Now, it seemed different from before.
Only after Ye Chuyi entered the office building and had disappeared from sight did Sheng Tingyuan give the order to his assistant, “Drive, let’s go back.”
As the assistant drove, fulfilling the command, he wondered, “President Sheng, you didn’t pick up Madam. I’m afraid it won’t be good to go back without her.”
It was Tang Jin who had asked him to pick up Ye Chuyi for dinner at home. She was probably still waiting there.
“It’s fine, she still has a surgery later, so let’s not trouble her to go back and forth.”
The assistant held back his words, thinking that if Madam shouldn’t be troubled, then it must be the boss himself who was troubled.
Ye Chuyi had no idea that Sheng Tingyuan had come. She entered the inpatient department, went up to the top floor, and headed for Lady Wen’s ward.
As expected, the ward was empty.
Lady Wen, seeing her, showed a gentle smile on her pale face, “Xiaoyi, you’re here.”
Ye Chuyi approached, “Madam, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort?”
“No, I’m quite well.”
Lady Wen looked at her reassuringly, “All the uncomfortable symptoms before the surgery are gone. My legs aren’t swollen anymore, which shows how successful this surgery was. Xiaoyi, I had no idea you’ve become so skilled, even capable of performing complicated craniotomies.”
Ye Chuyi felt warm inside from the praise. She hadn’t had much ambition when she began studying medicine; she just didn’t want to let down her teacher’s earnest efforts, so she worked hard to learn and practice.
She herself hadn’t anticipated that one day, she would be performing surgery on Lady Wen.
Lucky that she hadn’t slacked off, and thankful for her solid fundamentals, otherwise, she couldn’t have saved Lady Wen’s life.
Still, she apologized, “Madam, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that I am Doctor Anxin. I’ve signed an exclusive contract with Dome, and I can’t go about doing consults or surgeries in other hospitals, so at Qi Hospital, I truly can’t go…”
“I know, it’s not your fault.”
Lady Wen was as forgiving and gracious as ever, “You’ve been doing your best to help me, I know that. It’s just Youyou… Xiaoyi, don’t be upset with her. She might just love Qi Yunfan too much, eager to marry him, and that can sometimes make her impulsive.”
Ye Chuyi shook her head gently, “It’s fine, as long as you’re well, everything else is trivial.”
