The female doctor couldn’t withstand Lin ngyao’s gaze any longer, her eyes blinked, and tears started to fall. "I’m sorry, I misunderstood. Since you don’t need it, I’ll take the chicken soup away," she said. She took a deep look at Xu Ke with the chicken soup in hand and then turned to leave.
Once the female doctor had completely left the room, Lin ngyao imdiately turned her gaze to Xu Ke. "Why didn’t you say anything just now?" Lin ngyao asked coldly.
"I trust my dear wife to protect and handle her," Xu Ke replied, grinning and closing the distance between him and Lin ngyao significantly.
"Stop with the sweet talk. Let tell you, even when you’re just going out to help, you sohow manage to attract flirty won. I’m telling you, take care of yourself, and don’t go attracting any more flirty won, got it?" Lin ngyao said as she forcefully poked Xu Ke’s chest.
"Don’t worry, I won’t," Xu Ke said with a smile, looking at Lin ngyao, but couldn’t help seeing Ariel’s face in his mind.
Lin ngyao looked carefully into Xu Ke’s eyes. Seeing that his gaze didn’t evade hers, she felt relieved. She didn’t know why, but she couldn’t stand Xu Ke being with other won, or even him saying a word more to another woman. Whenever she saw such a scene, it felt like there was a fire burning in her chest, causing her chest to ache and her breathing to beco fiery.
"Alright, this ti I’ll trust you. You better not betray my trust, you know? I don’t like you getting too close to other girls; it makes uncomfortable," Lin ngyao said, pouting her lips high enough to hang a vinegar bottle on them.
Xu Ke reached out his finger and pinched Lin ngyao’s lips, saying, "Look at my little vinegar jar at ho, the sourness can waft ten miles away." Xu Ke teased with a laugh.
"Don’t make fun of ," Lin ngyao said as she grabbed Xu Ke’s finger pinching her lips and, with her other free hand, began tickling Xu Ke, breaking the sowhat serious atmosphere.
Yu Xia, leaning against the headboard with a smile, watched the two of them playfully scuffle and unknowingly fell asleep. Seeing Yu Xia asleep, the two stopped their antics.
"I’m a bit sleepy too, stay with for a nap," Lin ngyao said, tugging Xu Ke’s sleeve.
The VIP ward where Yu Xia was staying had a suite inside, so Lin ngyao wasn’t worried about not having a place to sleep. Xu Ke, having gone along with Lin ngyao’s playfulness for a while, was also a bit tired and did not refuse. The two laid down shoulder to shoulder, quietly chatting for a while before falling asleep. The room was exceptionally quiet.
Not knowing how much ti passed, the room stayed silent, and Xu Ke opened his eyes to see Lin ngyao still asleep.
Xu Ke carefully got up from Lin ngyao’s side, unlocked the door, and moved into the hallway outside the ward.
"Seeing you again, haven’t you left?" The female doctor, who had been lingering outside the ward for an unknown amount of ti, ca over from an inconspicuous spot just as Xu Ke stepped out, appearing flustered and slightly shy.
"Weren’t you waiting here for all along? You should know well if I’ve left or not." Xu Ke glanced at the female doctor and took a step to the side, sitting on the bench in the hallway, spreading his limbs like an elegant leopard.
"Are you waiting here to say sothing to ?" Xu Ke asked, looking at the female doctor from below.
The female doctor blushed, her legs feeling weak from Xu Ke’s deanor. She obediently sat beside him, apologetically saying, "I ca to apologize. It seems I caused trouble for you when I brought the chicken soup earlier. I just wanted to show my gratitude for your help, nothing more. I didn’t expect to cause a misunderstanding with your girlfriend. Was she angry with you? Do you want to help explain?"
"First, let correct you. Yaoyao is not my girlfriend; she’s my wife. We are legally married and have our docunts. Second, she’s not angry or misunderstood anything, so there’s no need for you to explain anything. Lastly, I received your gesture, so let’s leave it at that." Xu Ke stepped to the side, creating distance between the two.
Xu Ke’s words brought a mont of paleness and reluctance to the female doctor’s face, but she quickly collected herself, her gaze still apologetic as she looked back at him.
"I’m sorry, I misunderstood. As long as she’s not angry. However, you didn’t accept my chicken soup, and I haven’t fully delivered my gratitude yet. In a way, you saved my life. Even though you said I don’t need to repay you, I can’t not repay you, otherwise, it will weigh on my mind," the female doctor said, lowering her head and nervously glancing at Xu Ke, speaking quickly, afraid of being rejected.
She looked at Xu Ke’s expression carefully after speaking, only to find him looking at her expressionlessly, his gaze dark, making her uneasy. She couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you looking at like that? Is there sothing on my face?" She reached up to touch her face.
"Since you didn’t understand my subtle hints, I might as well be direct. I don’t want you to bother . If you genuinely appreciate what I’ve done, I hope you can completely disappear from my sight. Besides, I actually didn’t intend to save you at the ti. It was my wife who heard sothing outside and suggested I check it out, so I went to see. I originally just wanted to watch the commotion; it was you who ran towards , so I acted. So there’s no need to thank as it was all a happy coincidence." Xu Ke turned his face away, speaking casually as if he wasn’t aware of the hurt his words caused.
"Everything you’re saying is a lie. You’re lying to , aren’t you? I knew it; your wife must have misunderstood, that’s why you’re saying these things. I don’t believe what you’re saying; I won’t. You must be lying to ," the female doctor said as tears ran down her face, turned, and ran off without giving Xu Ke a chance to speak.
Watching her depart, Xu Ke’s lips curled into a slightly mocking smile.
