Who knew the scene before them would once again surprise them.
"Doctor Xiao, it’s only natural that you haven’t heard of me."
Wu Tian still spoke to Xiao Yifei with utmost respect, "Your works are renowned overseas, and you are also very humble. I am fortunate to know your name only because I am a member of the Nangong medical team."
"I’ve heard your name from the esteemed Mr. Nangong and have always known you by reputation only. To have the chance to meet you in our hospital is truly a blessing!"
Wu Tian said with great respect to Xiao Yifei.
Upon hearing Wu Tian’s words, Xiao Yifei touched his nose, finally understanding why Wu Tian knew him. It turned out that this Wu Tian was collaborating on a project with Nangong. No wonder he knew him. However, Xiao Yifei was still puzzled why a hematology doctor would be researching reproduction.
But now was not the time to think about all that. He looked up at Wu Tian with a smile and said, "Director Wu, since you know me, can I take Wu You away? I have a small team on my side that might be able to help with Wu You’s condition."
Since Wu Tian had heard of him, Xiao Yifei thought things would be easy. He bluffed, though in fact, he didn’t have a team at all.
As things had developed to this point, An Xin could no longer hold back, especially after hearing that name from Wu Tian’s mouth just now.
"Director Wu, the Nangong you just mentioned, is it Professor Nangong?"
An Xin didn’t bother with other questions but instead asked about the name she was extremely concerned with.
"Yes, of course, it’s Professor Nangong. Who else in Huaxia could be worthy of the title Professor Nangong!"
Wu Tian seriously responded to An Xin.
One reason for Wu Tian’s high status in the hospital was that he was eligible to join the Nangong medical team. Though as the only doctor not from a top-tier hospital, Wu Tian often did menial tasks more than anything else.
But this experience was enough for Wu Tian.
When An Xin heard Wu Tian’s response, she instantly widened her eyes. She looked at Xiao Yifei with furrowed brows, because if she hadn’t misheard, Wu Tian had said he heard of Xiao Yifei’s name through Nangong.
Who exactly was this young man, and why would Nangong know his name?
And judging by Wu Tian’s respectful demeanor just now, it didn’t seem fake. Though Wu Tian was a decent person, he also had his pride. He wouldn’t show such respect if it wasn’t for someone stronger than him.
So now An Xin was completely flustered.
Xiao Yifei, whom even the venerable elders respected, who exactly was he, and was he really an impostor?
It wasn’t just An Xin. Everyone in the same ward was watching Xiao Yifei in astonishment, utterly confused.
"Director Wu, what exactly does this young man do? Why do you respect him so much? How old is he that you would treat him ?"
Still feeling defiant, An Xin spoke to Wu Tian.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Is Doctor Xiao someone you can question?"
But upon hearing An Xin’s words, the normally amiable Wu Tian immediately got angry. He sternly rebuked An Xin.
An Xin was taken aback. She had not expected Wu Tian to be angry with her over this matter, and she felt somewhat wronged. "Director Wu..."
However, Wu Tian completely ignored her and turned to Xiao Yifei, full of apology, "Doctor Xiao, please don’t take offense. An Xin is ignorant. Please don’t blame her!"
"Haha, it’s fine, it’s no big deal!" Googlᴇ search novel•fire.net
Xiao Yifei smiled at Wu Tian and then asked, "Can I take Wu You away now? At least, Director Wu, you can be sure that I am not a fraud, right?"
Wu Tian nodded repeatedly: "Of course! Having Doctor Xiao’s team treat him is little Wu You’s good fortune!"
Xiao Yifei smiled with pursed lips, he gave a shout to Buddha, who then picked up the packed items. Xiao Yifei reached out his hand to pull Wu You along, and they left the ward.
In the ward, everyone stared blankly as Xiao Yifei departed indifferently.
Their ears caught Wu Tian’s admiring exclamation: "That’s Doctor Xiao!"
Walking ahead with a serene face, Xiao Yifei led Wu You, who followed obediently without any resistance—a sight that surprised Buddha, trailing behind, carrying their things.
"Big brother, I’m a bit tired."
After taking a few steps, Wu You still felt weak. She stopped and reached out to Xiao Yifei without showing any discomfort around him.
Seeing Wu You’s gesture, Xiao Yifei let out a gentle laugh, reached out, and lifted her into his arms. It was only when Xiao Yifei held her that he really felt her frailty. At twelve years old, it was a time for growth, but in his embrace, Wu You felt as light as a piece of paper.
"It’s okay, big brother will hold you, don’t worry, you’ll start feeling better soon."
After picking up Wu You, he looked at her delicate and fragile face and lowered his head, smiling warmly at her.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Although Wu You was unsure if Xiao Yifei could truly cure her illness, she liked his scent very much; her large eyes crinkled happily like crescent moons.
Then, with Xiao Yifei carrying Wu You and Buddha following behind, Xiao Yifei calmly walked to the ward door. Before he even spoke, the previously aggressive security guards obediently cleared the way, not daring to stop them anymore.
With a nonchalant smile, Xiao Yifei thanked the guards at the door, then turning his head, he waved to Wu Tian and said, "Director Wu, I’ll be leaving now. As for the hospital procedures..."
Before Xiao Yifei could finish, Wu Tian’s eyes brightened, and he hurriedly said, "You can rest assured, Doctor Xiao. I will take care of all that. Once everything is settled, we’ll refund the costs directly to your card, so don’t worry."
"Haha, then I really appreciate it, Director Wu!"
Xiao Yifei said to Wu Tian with a radiant smile. His gaze swept around the ward, pausing briefly on An Xin before he turned and left.
"Sister Zhao, you can rest assured now! Don’t worry about little You. Once she’s better, I’ll bring her to see you."
Buddha smiled at Sister Zhao before turning to follow Xiao Yifei’s steps.
Inside the ward, silence still prevailed. Although they didn’t understand the talk about Nangong and such matters, they realized from Wu Tian’s actions that Xiao Yifei seemed to be an extraordinary person.
Immediately, those who had mistakenly thought Xiao Yifei was a fraud, including Sister Zhao, felt their faces burn with embarrassment.
They watched Xiao Yifei’s retreating figure, opened their mouths, but eventually, they didn’t manage to say anything.
However, in the ward, there was one person whose mindset was drastically different from the rest—An Xin bit her lip, staring hard in the direction Xiao Yifei had left.
The person she had firmly believed was a fraud, how had he suddenly transformed into a profound and unfathomable medical expert? This was something An Xin did not want to admit in her heart.
Moreover, she felt that the look Xiao Yunfei had given her when he left was a blatant provocation, making it even harder for An Xin to accept, especially since Wu Tian had berated her on account of this young man!
"Director Wu! Who exactly is this young man? What gives him the right to receive such respectful treatment from you!"
Despite the mature charm that An Xin exuded as a young woman, her temperament was somewhat fiery. Now, seeing Xiao Yifei leave, she couldn’t hold back her frustration and, forgetting Wu Tian’s earlier reprimand, she asked again.
