Ch. 81..90

Chapter 81: Is Anxin Doctor Actually Her? Sheng Tingyuan didn’t refuse her, and indeed he had the housekeeper prepare ample food; the two of them couldn’t finish it all even if they tried.

Tang Jin lay in bed, watching the two of them sit face to face at the table and eat, and she smiled contentedly.

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows, filling the entire sickroom and casting a golden hue over the two young people eating their meal, making them seem exceptionally well-matched and pleasing to the eye.

Tang Jin noticed her son being picky with his food; he didn’t touch several of the dishes the housekeeper had brought, and as a result, Ye Chuyi, who wasn’t picky at all, ate everything.

Tang Jin was taken aback; why did her daughter-in-law seem different from what she remembered? Wasn’t the child from the Ye Family even pickier than Sheng Tingyuan?

Could it be that she had changed after graduating and starting work?

Tang Jin harbored some slight doubts, but she didn’t think too much of it and closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

After breakfast, Ye Chuyi went back to her own office.

The Sheng family’s chef was quite skilled, making each dish so delicious that she overate.

She wandered around the office for a bit and then changed her clothes and went to perform surgery again.

On the other side, Sheng Tingyuan had the bodyguards buy thank-you gifts, and while his mother slept, he took the gifts and went to Doctor Anxin’s office.

In the office, Ye Chuyi was not around; she had run off to who knows where to have fun, and there was only a strange young woman inside.

The woman sat at the desk piled with materials and books, sorting through documents efficiently.

Sheng Tingyuan approached, “Excuse me, are you Doctor Anxin?”

The woman looked at him in surprise, “No, I’m not!”

“You’re not? Isn’t this your desk?”

“The desk is mine, but I am not Doctor Anxin. Doctor Anxin is up in surgery again; I am her assistant.”

Sheng Tingyuan furrowed his brow, “How many people are in this office?”noveldrama

“Just two, me and Doctor Anxin. There’s no one else.”

Sheng Tingyuan’s frown deepened, “No one else?”

The assistant smiled at him, “You’ve seen me before, don’t you remember? But I remember you! You must be Doctor Anxin’s fiancé. The last time you came to find her, it was I who helped you to call her!”

A loud crash echoed in Sheng Tingyuan’s mind, and he looked incredulously towards Ye Chuyi’s seat.

No, impossible!

How could it be her?

Seeing his frozen expression and full of puzzlement, the assistant asked, “Don’t you know that your fiancée is Doctor Anxin? Oh right, Doctor Anxin is just a title; her real name is Lin Chuyi.”

Sheng Tingyuan could barely hear what she was saying anymore; the news that Doctor Anxin was Ye Chuyi had sent such a shock through his brain that he found it difficult to think.

It took a while before he slowly moved to Ye Chuyi’s desk and opened her drawers to look through them.

With each drawer he opened, her assistant introduced, “This is the chocolate Doctor Anxin asked me to buy for her. Sometimes she has to perform surgery for four to five hours straight, and she gets so hungry and dizzy afterward that she needs a few pieces of chocolate for energy.”

“These are Doctor Anxin’s notes; she summarizes her surgeries afterward, noting what went well and what didn’t.”

“Ah, this is a thank-you letter from a patient. There is a separate cabinet for these over there. Doctor Anxin’s reputation is beyond question.”

The last drawer held a stack of documents, and on top of the pile lay a work ID.

Sheng Tingyuan picked it up.

It featured Ye Chuyi’s ID photo, and clearly written below was: Doctor Anxin.

Her assistant continued, “Our Director An’s catchphrase is ‘my Anxin disciple.’ Since the day Doctor Anxin arrived at our hospital, that’s how he’s called her, so everyone else in the hospital assumed her name really was Anxin, and hence even her work ID uses the title Doctor Anxin.”

“It’s just that I’ve seen Doctor Anxin’s personal resume and know her real name; no one else does!”

Sheng Tingyuan looked at Ye Chuyi’s work ID, and something suddenly came to mind. He reached out for a thick medical book, opened the title page, and once again saw her name.

The book’s first author was An Huadong, and listed in the second row were Lin Chuyi and Chi Cheng.

She had told him before, but he hadn’t believed her.

He had even mocked her for buying her authorship rights so that she wouldn’t dare to use her real name, Ye Chuyi, and could only use Lin Chuyi instead.

Chapter 82 How Many Names Do You Actually Have? After a surgery, Ye Chuyi took off her sterile suit, changed into her own clothes, donned a white lab coat, and returned to her office.

As soon as she entered, she saw Sheng Tingyuan sitting at her desk.

She was somewhat displeased, “Why are you here again? And you’ve taken my spot.”

Sheng Tingyuan lifted his head and looked at her for a long time.

Ye Chuyi thought he was being a bit inexplicable and ignored him, simply grabbing her water cup to drink.

Sheng Tingyuan gazed at her delicate, fair face, his emotions somewhat complex.

He had never known that her talent was so extraordinary, her medical skills so superb.

She had never boasted to him, and after performing such a difficult surgery, she hadn’t sought credit from him or his mother; she had silently hidden herself.

No wonder his mother’s surgery was arranged so quickly and smoothly—he had thought it was the effect of his billion, but now he understood it was Ye Chuyi’s doing.

No wonder the lead surgeon had personally stitched his mother’s wound—it turned out the lead surgeon was her.

No wonder during those few hours of his mother’s surgery, she had suddenly disappeared from his side, only reappearing after the surgery was over.

What else about her did he not know?

“Ye Chuyi.”

“Huh?”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Tell you what?”

“You are Anxin.”

Ye Chuyi had just taken a sip of water and almost choked at his words, “You know?”

“Your assistant told me.”

“What? She came back from vacation?”

“You think it’s fun to play me?”

Ye Chuyi coughed lightly, “No, I didn’t mean to play you, I thought you were prejudiced against me. If you knew before the surgery that I was Doctor Anxin, you definitely wouldn’t have trusted me. Mom’s surgery was urgent, and I didn’t want to waste time or let her suffer more pain.”noveldrama

She glanced at Sheng Tingyuan and saw his handsome face was indifferent, his expression cold, which made her feel perplexed.

Even though he was sitting and she was standing, which should mean she had the upper hand, why did it feel completely reversed now?

He was sitting in her chair, occupying her spot, yet was so imposing.

And there she was, like someone who had done something wrong, being interrogated by him.

“This isn’t my fault; I’ve given you hints before—it’s you who thought I was useless.”

She grabbed Sheng Tingyuan’s suit lapels in one motion, “Get up, you’re in my spot.”

Sheng Tingyuan looked down at the hand gripping his suit, slender, fair, and beautiful like a piece of art.

He had held this hand before.

But he never imagined that this hand could be so powerful, that it had saved his mother’s life.

He even had a strange thought at that moment: such a precious hand, and she used it to casually grab his clothes? Wasn’t she afraid of injuring her hand?

He gently held her wrist and slowly took his suit out of her grasp.

Ye Chuyi thought he was repulsed by her touching his clothes and glared at him, “Do you have a phobia? Or do you just dislike looking at me? You seem to hate me touching you so much.”

Sheng Tingyuan stood up and gave the chair back to her, “I don’t have a phobia, nor do I dislike looking at you.”

Ye Chuyi didn’t believe a word; she suspected he both had a phobia and found her distasteful.

But this was just fine for her; she wouldn’t have to sleep with him and have children.

Annoyed by his presence, she said, “Aren’t you leaving? Don’t you need to be by Mom’s side?”

“She’s asleep, and there are bodyguards watching over her.”

After Ye Chuyi sat down, she noticed a gift box on the side: “Did you give this to me?”

“Mm.”

Sheng Tingyuan acknowledged with a hum, then added, “It’s for Doctor Anxin, to thank her for saving my mom.”

Ye Chuyi found it somewhat amusing—was it really that hard for him to thank her directly? He still had to say it was for thanking Anxin.

She opened the gift box to find it full of nutritional fluids.

She suspected these were just something Sheng Tingyuan had asked someone to buy for Tang Jin and had casually gotten some for her as well.

Ye Chuyi unabashedly opened a bottle of the nutritional fluid to taste it and assess its effect.

Sheng Tingyuan watched her intently, “How many names do you have, exactly?”

“What?”

“One moment Lin Chuyi, another moment Ye Chuyi, then Anxin, how many names do you have?”

“Uh, not many, just three, four, five, or six, I guess.”

 

Chapter 83 Nosebleed Is that not too much?

Sheng Tingyuan shook his head; she was completely different from the Ye family’s eldest daughter he remembered from before.

Now, she created “surprises” for him every single day. He wouldn’t be surprised if she said she was Nezha tomorrow.

As he turned to walk away, at the doorway, he glanced back at Ye Chuyi. Seeing that she had finished one bottle and was about to start another, he casually reminded her, “One bottle per day is enough; two is overdoing it.”

Ye Chuyi: “Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor? If I think two bottles is okay, then it’s okay.”

Sheng Tingyuan watched her finish the second bottle and suddenly smiled, “Well, drink up then, Doctor.”noveldrama

In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.

The power of two bottles of the nutritional drink became apparent.

Ye Chuyi finally understood why the usually expressionless Sheng Tingyuan had laughed.

She felt somewhat feverish, and inappropriate images kept popping into her mind, sometimes even featuring Tingyuan’s face.

Damn Tingyuan, what on earth did he give her!

No, this was not just a nutritional drink; this was an intense tonic!

She silently covered her burning face with her hands, trying to distract herself with obscure medical terms, afraid she might throw herself at Tingyuan.

The culprit had just come out from the bathroom after a shower, a faint fresh fragrance emanating from him. His hair was wet, and his body, clad only in a towel, had droplets of water on it, looking unbelievably sexy.

Tonight, she would be sharing a room with Tingyuan.

Because Tang Jin had watched them both enter the accompaniment ward, she agreed to take her medicine only after seeing this.

Even if Ye Chuyi wanted to leave, she had to wait until Tang Jin fell asleep, as the accompaniment ward was connected to the main ward, and Tang Jin could see her coming and going.

The problem was, Tang Jin had slept the whole day, so she had no hint of sleepiness at night, and at the moment, was guarding the door with her bodyguard.

As Ye Chuyi pondered, she suddenly felt a warmth in her nose and then a drip; something dropped.

She wiped her nose and saw her hand stained with bright red.

A tissue was passed over: “Doctor, why is your nose bleeding?”

Ye Chuyi took the tissue and glared at him: “It’s all your fault.”

Sheng Tingyuan held back a laugh and passed her a few more tissues: “How is it my fault again? Wasn’t it you who said you’re the doctor and it’s fine to drink two bottles if you feel like it?”

Ye Chuyi angrily wiped the blood from her nose: “What the hell did you give me? Why am I feeling so hot now?”

“Don’t know, my people bought it randomly.”

Ye Chuyi stared at him dumbfounded: “Don’t know? You dare to give something without knowing what it is? Do you even have a conscience?”

“The staff told me this nutritional drink is a bestseller that often goes out of stock. One box costs thirty-six thousand, and I gave you two boxes. How can you say I have no conscience?”

Ye Chuyi was so furious that her nosebleed grew worse—so expensive?

She covered her nose and muttered disgruntledly: “This isn’t a nutritional drink at all, it’s deceitful advertising.”

Sheng Tingyuan tried to contain his amusement at her rather pitiful state, his usually cold tone now laced with three parts teasing: “Going to drink two bottles next time as well, Doctor?”

Ye Chuyi knew he was mocking her. She didn’t respond and went to the bathroom.

Because she felt so unbearably hot, she took a cold shower. After showering, the nosebleed stopped, and the heat had dissipated quite a bit.

She changed into pajamas and left the bathroom.

But as soon as she saw Tingyuan, who was lounging on the bed looking at his phone, the heat inside her started to rise again.

He had also changed into pajamas, a black silk set that made his skin look exceptionally fair. His legs were long, his chest muscles faintly visible, and the skin exposed at the neckline was inexplicably sexy.

His face looked exceptionally handsome under the light, and even the fingers holding his phone appeared long and attractive.

“Demon, why do you have to be so handsome?”

Ye Chuyi muttered under her breath, dragging her feet over to the bed: “Hey, move over a bit. You’re in the middle, where am I supposed to sleep? On the floor?”

Tingyuan didn’t even look up: “That’s an option.”

 

Chapter 84: Sheng Tingyuan, Can You Stop Pressing Randomly? “You want me to sleep on the floor while you hog the entire bed? I refuse to sleep on the floor.”

Ye Chuyi pushed him hard to the side, then lay down on the bed, “Hmm, the beds in our hospital are quite comfortable.”

Sheng Tingyuan’s gaze moved away from his cellphone and landed on her.noveldrama

Lying on her side with her back to him, her curves were startlingly exquisite. The hem of her pajamas had ridden up, revealing a slender waist with skin so fair it was tinged with a faint peach blush—very pleasing to the eye.

Sheng Tingyuan silently withdrew his gaze, pulled over the blanket, and covered her with it.

Ye Chuyi, however, took the blanket off, “I’m so hot, I don’t need it.”

Sheng Tingyuan looked at her pink-flushed face, shook his head, and said nothing more.

He got up to turn off the light, then lay back down on the bed, ready to rest.

In the darkness, rustling sounds of flipping sides came from beside him, and with each turn she made, a subtle fragrance wafted through the air.

In half an hour, she had flipped sides twelve times.

Sheng Tingyuan was on the verge of collapse. Unable to bear it any longer, he reached out and held her still, “Are you making pancakes? Stop flipping.”

Ye Chuyi stiffened, “Sheng Tingyuan, could you not touch randomly?”

Sheng Tingyuan withdrew his hand, “Sorry.”

Ye Chuyi stayed stiff for a while but soon started flipping sides again.

Another half hour passed, and Sheng Tingyuan finally lost it completely.

He got out of bed, spread the blanket on the cold floor, then picked up Ye Chuyi and laid her down on it.

Ye Chuyi looked at him in disbelief, “Sheng Tingyuan, are you even human? I thought you were going to sleep on the floor yourself, so you’re making me sleep there?”

Sheng Tingyuan, “You make noise when you flip sides in bed, but not on the floor. The floor suits you well.”

“So heartless.”

Ye Chuyi said through gritted teeth, but she didn’t go to fight him for the bed.

Because the floor was cool and, unexpectedly, more comfortable than the bed.

After a while, she finally fell asleep.

Sheng Tingyuan, however, had been so disturbed by her that he lost all desire to sleep. In the dimness, he watched her curled up into a tiny ball on the floor, sighed, then got up and gently carried her back to the bed.

After all, she was the ace doctor of Dome Hospital and the most cherished genius student of the medical authority An Huadong; making her sleep on the floor seemed a bit too much even for him.

The next day.

When Ye Chuyi woke up, she found herself on the bed, and Sheng Tingyuan was nowhere to be seen.

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, “Was sleeping on the floor last night just a hallucination?”

Or was Sheng Tingyuan worried that Tang Jin would find out she had slept on the floor, so he carried her back to bed?

She shook her head, got out of bed to freshen up, then went to check on Tang Jin.

Tang Jin’s condition had improved from the day before; she could now sit up and eat on her own.

Reassured by her good recovery, Ye Chuyi had breakfast with her, then returned to her office to prepare for the new day’s work.

Her assistant walked in, “Doctor Anxin, that patient you asked me to keep an eye on, finally contacted me proactively.”

“Which patient?”

“Ye Jinyu.”

Ye Chuyi perked up, it was Lady Wen, she quickly asked, “Is she willing to come in for a follow-up?”

The assistant passed her the cellphone, “Not exactly, she didn’t mention anything about a follow-up. She just asked if you’ve been busy recently and such, it looks more like small talk.”

Ye Chuyi took the cellphone and read through the chat logs twice, then frowned, “Strange, she’s unwilling to come for a follow-up, so why would she suddenly think to chat with us?”

Half an hour earlier, Qi Hospital.

Qi Yunfan handed Wen Nianyou a delicate gift box.

Wen Nianyou accepted the gift box, her face brimming with surprise, “Brother Yunfan, what’s this? Is today some special holiday?”

Qi Yunfan looked at her tenderly, “Do I need an occasion to give you a gift? You’re in my heart; whenever I see something good, whether it’s a holiday or not, I’ll buy it and give it to you right away.”

Wen Nianyou took the gift box, overwhelmed, “Brother Yunfan, you’re not angry with me anymore. I was afraid that you’d blame me and never pay attention to me again!”

“How could that be? The issue with the pharmaceuticals has been resolved, hasn’t it? How could I blame you?”

Qi Yunfan spoke with magnanimity, “My father went to India on business a few days ago. He has found a new supplier, and the purchasing cost is even lower. We won’t have to worry about being blocked by Jungle Pharmaceutical anymore.”

Chapter 85: I Saved Doctor Anxin’s Life Wen Nianyou said with a smile, “I just knew Brother Yunfan would definitely pull through the tough times, Brother Yunfan is the best!”

However, Qi Yunfan’s face didn’t look so good, it was his dad who had solved the problem, not him. What was so great about him?

But in the next instant, his expression softened, “Open it and see, don’t you want to know what’s inside?”

Wen Nianyou opened the gift box and exclaimed, “Is this Dior’s latest high-end jewelry collection? Isn’t this very difficult to acquire? Brother Yunfan, you actually managed to get it?”

“Just a few million, not hard to buy.”

Wen Nianyou’s eyes reddened with emotion, the Qi Family really was rich, a jewelry piece worth millions, and Qi Yunfan talked about buying and gifting it so casually.

Although she lived the life of a young lady in the Wen Family, recently, Wen Xingye had lost quite a bit of money in his business, and the family’s livelihood was solely reliant on the dowry from Lady Wen. She really didn’t have the ability to buy jewelry worth millions.

Her desire to marry into the Qi Family grew even more urgent.

She said softly, “Thank you, Brother Yunfan, you are so good to me, I will also be good to you in the future.”noveldrama

Qi Yunfan nodded, seemingly offhandedly, “A few days ago, when the Dean of Dome Hospital retired, his granddaughter Anxin also trended online, I remember you mentioned that you know this Doctor Anxin?”

“Yes, I know Doctor Anxin, and not just know her, we’re very close. Haven’t I told you before? My mom’s tumor surgery was done by Doctor Anxin. It’s been several years, and she has always been concerned about my mom’s health, always asking her to visit!”

Qi Yunfan frowned, “Is that all? This is being very close? It sounds like just a regular doctor-patient relationship!”

Wen Nianyou tried to fish for information, “What do you want with Doctor Anxin, Brother Yunfan? Your family’s hospital doesn’t seem to be short of doctors, right?”

Qi Yunfan sighed, “Of course we’re not short of ordinary doctors, but we do lack top-tier doctors.”

“As you know, our hospital suddenly ran out of medications a few days ago, and almost all the patients left. The hospital’s reputation suffered quite a bit. Although we have medications now, the number of patients has drastically decreased.”

“Doctor Anxin’s fame is now second only to Dean An Huadong; she is very impressive. If we could get Doctor Anxin to see patients in our hospital, I’m sure the reputation would quickly recover.”

“Furthermore, Doctor Anxin currently only sees patients at Dome Hospital. If our hospital becomes the second one to have her, I’m sure we’ll quickly become a top-tier private hospital.”

Wen Nianyou quickly understood the reason behind the gift of the jewelry. So, Qi Yunfan was eyeing her relationship with Doctor Anxin!

She clenched the box tightly, “Brother Yunfan isn’t an outsider, so I’ll just tell you the truth. Actually, I once saved Doctor Anxin’s life by a lucky coincidence. She performed the surgery on my mom as a way to repay me. After the surgery, she paid extra attention to my mom, all because she was grateful to me.”

Qi Yunfan’s eyes lit up with immense surprise, and he immediately embraced Wen Nianyou, his voice filled with excitement, “Youyou, is everything you said true? Did you really save Doctor Anxin’s life?”

Wen Nianyou feigned annoyance, “Of course it’s all true, why would I lie to you about such a thing?”

Qi Yunfan promptly opened the gift box, took the expensive jewelry out, and placed it around Wen Nianyou’s neck, “Youyou, I’m truly lucky to have you. You’ll help me get Doctor Anxin, right?”

As Wen Nianyou touched the sparkling jewelry and looked into Qi Yunfan’s tender gaze, she bit her lip internally, “Don’t worry, Brother Yunfan, with my help, Doctor Anxin will definitely come to your family’s hospital for consultations. Qi Hospital will soon become a top-tier private hospital just like Dome Hospital.”

Chapter 86 I Want to Go to Qi Hospital After leaving Qi Hospital, Wen Nianyou immediately went home, took Lady Wen’s cell phone, and began to text Doctor Anxin.

As before, Doctor Anxin was extremely concerned about Lady Wen’s health, incessantly reminding her to go to the hospital for a follow-up.

Wen Nianyou could feel that Doctor Anxin considered the follow-up very important, so much so that she even seemed a bit anxious.

While dodging the topic of the follow-up with Doctor Anxin, she asked Lady Wen, “Mom, you seem to have a good relationship with Doctor Anxin from Dome Hospital; she’s asking you to go for a follow-up again, seems really concerned about you. Is it because you gave her a red envelope when you had surgery before?”

Lady Wen pressed her swollen leg and smiled gently, “Silly child, what are you talking about? I didn’t give the doctor a red envelope. Your dad wanted to, but he never got to see her because Doctor Anxin was too busy.”

“You didn’t give a red envelope?”

Wen Nianyou found it strange, “Then why is she so concerned about you? I thought she took money!”

“She didn’t take money, maybe she’s just very responsible, and she takes her patients seriously. She’s a good doctor.”

Wen Nianyou glanced at her leg and discreetly looked away.

Lady Wen’s leg was swelling more and more severely. Before the tumor was removed, she suffered from this complication. The swelling had subsided after the surgery, but this year her leg began to swell again.

Obviously, Lady Wen’s tumor had recurred, and it seemed to be more severe than before, as her feet were so swollen that she could no longer fit into her previous shoes and walking had become difficult.

Lady Wen usually wore long skirts to cover her legs and feet, unwilling to let others see her swollen appearance.noveldrama

Today, she wore long pants, and her swollen legs filled the loose pant legs completely.

She took Lady Wen’s hand, her face full of concern, “Mom, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Tell me in detail, so I can ask Doctor Anxin for you.”

“Recently, I’ve been having severe headaches, like needle pricks, and when my head hurts, my palms and soles hurt too. When it’s serious, it hurts so much that I break out in a cold sweat all over.”

“Ah? It hurts that much? Mom, why didn’t you tell me before!”

Previously, Lady Wen always feared worrying her daughter and never spoke of her illness, but now, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t bear it anymore, “Maybe I should go to the hospital for a check-up after all. It’s not good to keep hurting like this.”

“Yes, yes, you need to have a check-up. Wait, let me ask Doctor Anxin.”

A moment later, she said, “Oh dear, Mom, Doctor Anxin is very busy. She said you might not be able to get an appointment, so you have to wait!”

Lady Wen was stunned, “Is that so? But before, she always told me that as soon as I went, she could arrange a check-up for me immediately!”

She wanted to take back her own phone to ask Doctor Anxin personally, but Wen Nianyou had already taken the phone upstairs.

“Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll hurry her along.”

Back in the bedroom, Wen Nianyou was in no rush to send the symptoms Lady Wen had just described to Anxin; she hadn’t actually asked about the follow-up for Lady Wen at all.

Based on her understanding of Doctor Anxin, these symptoms would surely make her very anxious.

As expected, as soon as the message was sent, a call came through.

She immediately hung up the call.

Dome Hospital.

The assistant, looking at the disconnected call, shook his head at Ye Chuyi, “Doctor Anxin, no luck, this patient is just like before, still refusing to answer the call.”

Ye Chuyi’s expression grew stern; taking the assistant’s phone, she looked at the symptoms sent by Lady Wen, her anger rising.

It couldn’t be Lin Yueqin meddling behind the scenes again, could it? She had tried to probe Lady Wen before, and she seemed not averse to the idea of a follow-up or taking medication. It must be Lin Yueqin intentionally keeping her from the hospital.

With urgency, she typed, “Lady Wen, considering your symptoms, it is very likely that your tumor has recurred. You can’t delay any longer; you must come to the hospital immediately, or it could be life-threatening.”

Lady Wen, “You don’t need to worry about me. I will go to a hospital, but not to Dome Hospital.”

Ye Chuyi, “Then which hospital do you plan to go to?”

“I’m going to Qi Hospital.”

Chapter 87 Lady Wen Hospitalized Ye Chuyi was stunned. Lady Wen wanted to go to Qi Hospital?

She had worked at Qi Hospital and was acutely aware of its standard. Its environment and decorations were quite good, but the medical expertise was mediocre at best, even the equipment was outdated.

Lady Wen had a brain meningioma, a surgery of great difficulty. Qi Hospital simply couldn’t perform such an operation.

Why did she want to go to Qi Hospital? Was it because Wen Nianyou was with Qi Yunfan?

But when she came to Dome to undergo the surgery initially, hadn’t she already consulted at Qi Hospital? It was precisely because Qi Hospital couldn’t perform the surgery that she eventually chose Dome!

“Madam, please believe in Dome’s capabilities. Our hospital’s doctors and equipment are of the highest standard. You also had your surgery here previously, so we hope you will continue to come to our hospital for follow-up consultations.”

Lady Wen: “I don’t trust any other hospital now, I only trust Qi Hospital. Doctor Anxin, you’re so eager to have me go to your hospital, are you just trying to take my money?”

Ye Chuyi frowned upon reading this response.

Something was off!noveldrama

These words did not seem like something Lady Wen would say.

Lady Wen was never the type to suspect others’ intentions; she always assumed the best of people.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Chuyi tentatively asked, “Hasn’t Qi Hospital recently been exposed for having no medicine to sell? Why do you still trust only them?”

“Doesn’t Doctor Anxin know? Qi Hospital was framed, but now they have medicine again. It’s all imported from abroad and the effects are exceptionally good.”

“Doctor Anxin, Qi Hospital is truly excellent. Have you considered consulting there? If you were to consult at Qi Hospital, I could continue to see you for my condition.”

Ye Chuyi finally confirmed that the person on the other end of the conversation was definitely not Lady Wen.

The one replying was most likely Wen Nianyou.

It’s true that the drug supply at Qi Hospital had recently been restored. According to Cong Ningyuan, it was Qi Yunfan’s father, Qi Linjiang, who went to India to procure a batch of high-quality imitations.

However, due to the medication shortage, Qi Hospital’s reputation had plummeted dramatically. Almost all inpatients had transferred out, and outpatient visits had dwindled to none; even a number of doctors and nurses had resigned.

Lady Wen would never suggest that her primary physician transfer to another hospital to consult. Only Wen Nianyou was capable of such a deed.

And her objective was to use Doctor Anxin’s reputation to help Qi Yunfan salvage Qi Hospital’s image.

Ye Chuyi, suppressing the anger inside her, replied, “I will not consult at Qi Hospital. Madam’s condition is extremely critical, please do not treat it as a joke. Come to Dome for a check-up as soon as possible.”

She thought, no matter what, Lady Wen was Wen Nianyou’s mother. Even if Wen Nianyou wanted to help Qi Yunfan, she wouldn’t possibly neglect her mother’s safety, right?

However, she thought too much.

A week later, Lady Wen was taken to Qi Hospital by Wen Nianyou, who then informed Ye Chuyi that Lady Wen would undergo surgical treatment at Qi Hospital.

It was utterly ridiculous. Did Qi Hospital even have a doctor capable of performing surgery on Lady Wen?! Wasn’t this pushing her towards a certain death?

Ye Chuyi, infuriated, went directly to Qi Hospital.

In the VIP ward, Lady Wen was holding her head, lying in bed in agonizing pain.

Accompanying her, besides Wen Nianyou and Lin Yueqin, was Wen Xingye who had rushed back from out of town.

As soon as Lin Yueqin saw Ye Chuyi, her face turned stern: “What are you doing here? Who allowed you to come? Leave immediately!”

 

Chapter 88 Doctor Anxin Holds a Clinic at Qi Hospital Ye Chuyi entered the sickroom, “Madam is hospitalized, is it wrong for me to come and see how Madam is doing?”

“You can stop pretending to be nice here. You previously slandered and framed Youyou. Madam didn’t blame you because she is forgiving. And yet, you still have the face to come?”noveldrama

Lady Wen spoke softly, “Yueqin, don’t scold Xiaoyi. I believe Xiaoyi is not a bad child. The previous incident must have been a misunderstanding.”

She struggled to sit up and beckoned to Ye Chuyi, “Xiaoyi, come here. I’m very happy that you could come to see me.”

Ye Chuyi slowly approached, heart aching at the sight of Lady Wen’s pale and swollen face.

Lady Wen was still so gentle, still so kind. Even though she had been deceived by Lin Yueqin and Wen Nianyou, she was still willing to believe that Xiaoyi was not a bad child and that she had been misunderstood.

Her voice was a bit hoarse, “Madam, why did you come to this hospital? Weren’t you previously at Dome Hospital for surgery? Dome Hospital is the top private hospital in the country; you should go there, not…”

“Lin Chuyi!”

Wen Nianyou interrupted her, “What business is it of yours which hospital my mother stays in? You praise Dome Hospital so much, anyone who didn’t know better would think you were a shill for them! Dome Hospital is just famous in vain. In terms of strength, it can’t compare to Brother Yunfan’s hospital!”

Ye Chuyi looked at her, her voice turning cold, “Dome Hospital is famous in vain? It is recognized within the industry as the top hospital in terms of strength. Just compare the medical teams and facilities of both hospitals, and you’ll see how much Qi Hospital lags behind Dome Hospital!”

“Wen Family doesn’t lack money, so why not send Madam to the best hospital? Wen Nianyou, dare you say you have no ulterior motive? Isn’t it all because of Qi Yunfan that you deliberately sent Madam here?”

Wen Nianyou was immensely frustrated, with her dark intentions suddenly exposed, she seethed with resentment, “Don’t you dare drive a wedge between me and my mother. She is my mother; would I harm her?”

She hugged Lady Wen’s arm, pretending to be aggrieved, “Mom, look at her. She’s bullying me again; she always thinks so darkly of me.”

Lady Wen caressed her head and said to Ye Chuyi, “Xiaoyi, I know you mean well for me, but this time, it was my own decision to come to Qi Hospital. Don’t misunderstand Nianyou; she is very filial to me.”

Wen Xingye, who was sitting nearby, looked at Ye Chuyi displeased, “Watch your words. How can Nianyou be self-serving? Didn’t you come to visit Madam? Why are you starting to stir up trouble?”

Lin Yueqin immediately went forward, grabbed her arm, and started to drag her out, “You ungrateful wretch, stirring up trouble again for Madam and Miss. Get out now, and don’t you come back again!”

In the past, being dragged away by her wouldn’t have been a big deal.

But now, with Lady Wen’s life hanging by a thread, Ye Chuyi was unwilling to leave.

She shook off Lin Yueqin fiercely and looked at Lady Wen, “Madam, you really can’t have surgery in this hospital; there isn’t anyone here capable of operating on you!”

Lady Wen, seeing how flushed with agitation she was, forced herself off the bed.

She picked up a coconut that was prepared on the table and handed it to Ye Chuyi, “Xiaoyi truly wishes the best for me; I know. I remember you love drinking coconut water. Here, take this.”

Ye Chuyi held the coconut tightly, her eyes reddening.

When she was a child, Nianyou would drink coconut water. Xiaoyi had never seen it before, nor tasted it. After Nianyou was done and threw it away, Xiaoyi would retrieve the coconut from the trash and stealthily drink the remaining water inside.

Lady Wen happened to see this and the next day, she had someone buy four fresh coconuts, giving two each to her and Nianyou.

She drank joyously, believing at that time that coconut water was the most delicious thing in the world.

She never expected that Lady Wen would still remember her liking for it.

“Madam.”

Ye Chuyi’s voice grew even rougher, “Please go to Dome Hospital; this place really doesn’t have good doctors. Please believe me.”

Lady Wen smiled gently, “How can there be no good doctors? Isn’t Doctor Anxin doing his clinic here?”

Chapter 89: Did she make it up herself? Ye Chuyi was stunned. “What did you say? Doctor Anxin?”

“Yes, it’s the same Doctor Anxin who performed the surgery on me before, she has now come to Qi Hospital.”

Ye Chuyi blurted out, “Impossible, Doctor Anxin…”

Wen Nianyou suddenly interrupted her, “Chuyi, what exactly are you trying to do here today? It’s perfectly normal for Doctor Anxin to come to Brother Yunfan’s family hospital to consult. I’ve already called to confirm it. Why are you saying it’s impossible? Could it be that you know Doctor Anxin?”

Ye Chuyi took a deep breath, no longer prepared to hide her identity. “I don’t just know her, I am An…”

“Pfft, who are you? You’re just a cleaner. With your status, you’re simply not qualified to know Doctor Anxin.”

Wen Nianyou, growing impatient, pushed her towards the door. “Stop causing trouble here. My mother is already not feeling well. Are you trying to make her sickness worse? Hasn’t my mother been kind enough to you? How can you bite the hand that feeds you like this?”

Lin Yueqin also pushed her, “Exactly, you’re such bad luck. Everything was fine until you showed up and made a mess of it all. You can’t help with anything and only add to the chaos! Get out now, Madam needs to rest!”

Both of them pushed Ye Chuyi out forcibly, and Lin Yueqin even took the opportunity to grasp Ye Chuyi’s hand violently, leaving several bloody scratches on the back of her hand.

Ye Chuyi, holding a coconut, was pushed outside the door.

The door slammed shut, cutting off the sight of Lady Wen’s pale and gentle face.

Ye Chuyi looked down, not at the injured hand, but at the coconut in her hand.

Perhaps, both in her childhood and now, Lady Wen gave her coconuts as a casual gesture, yet to her, it represented the warmest and most colorful stroke in her dull and dark life.

She couldn’t just ignore Lady Wen’s plight.

She had to save her.

“Chuyi? Did you come to visit Lady Wen?”

A gentle and soft voice rang out, interrupting Ye Chuyi’s thoughts.

She turned around and saw the kind face of Qi Yunfan.noveldrama

He didn’t seem to care about the past conflicts, and when he saw her again, he still looked concerned. “How have you been doing lately? You seem to have lost weight. Don’t work too hard, take good care of yourself, okay?”

But Ye Chuyi’s expression was cold, and her voice was icy. “Does your hospital have a doctor who can perform surgery to remove a meningioma for Lady Wen?”

Qi Yunfan was taken aback by her frosty response to his warm concern, but he still smiled gently. “Yes, we do.”

“Who?”

“Doctor Anxin.”

Qi Yunfan, seemingly afraid she wouldn’t know, explained rather proudly. “Doctor Anxin is the granddaughter of the medical giant An Huadong and is also the youngest and most outstanding doctor in the field of oncology. She has inherited An Huadong’s mantle and is now very famous. Her surgeries are booked up to a year in advance, and without some solid connections, it’s practically impossible to even get an appointment with her.”

Ye Chuyi responded indifferently, “Is that so?”

“Of course!”

Qi Yunfan’s voice carried a hint of excitement. “Youyou has a very good relationship with Doctor Anxin. You might not know this, but Youyou once saved Doctor Anxin’s life!”

Ye Chuyi frowned, “What?”

“It’s true, Youyou told me herself.”

“She probably made it up herself, right?”

“Impossible, Youyou isn’t that kind of person. She said that Doctor Anxin agreed to perform the surgery for Lady Wen because she was grateful for Youyou’s lifesaving favor.”

“Wen Nianyou didn’t save Doctor Anxin’s life.”

“How do you know?”

“I just do.”

“Chuyi, be honest, are you a bit jealous of Youyou? She always speaks well of you in front of me, but you’ve never said anything good about her.”

“That’s because she genuinely doesn’t have a single good trait. Even if I wanted to praise her, I wouldn’t know where to start.”

“You—”

Qi Yunfan shook his head. “If you didn’t have such a pretty face, I would really think you were a mean person.”

As he was speaking, the door to the ward suddenly opened.

Wen Nianyou walked out. “Brother Yunfan, I thought that sounded like your voice, and sure enough, it’s you. Why didn’t you come in? My parents have been waiting for you!”

As she spoke, she flauntedly clasped Qi Yunfan’s arm and said to Ye Chuyi, “Chuyi, you couldn’t still have a secret crush on Brother Yunfan, could you?”

Chapter 90 How did your hand get injured? Ye Chuyi ignored Wen Nianyou and headed for the door.

But Wen Nianyou blocked her way, “Brother Yunfan and I are about to get engaged, so you better stop thinking about him and stop looking for him. I’m only saying this for your own good.”

Ye Chuyi’s tone was sarcastic, “Madam is already so severely ill, and yet you still have the mood to get engaged? How filial of you.”

“Chuyi, don’t be too excessive. My mom’s illness is not that serious. Why do you always curse her? Besides, I’ve hired the best oncologist, Doctor Anxin, to perform surgery on her. She’ll recover very soon.”

“As far as I know, Doctor Anxin only consults at Dome Hospital; she never performs surgeries in other hospitals.”

“Chuyi, this is the huge difference between us. You can’t even meet Doctor Anxin, while I can make her break her principles and come to Qi Hospital to operate on my mom.”

Wen Nianyou said with an air of certainty and pride, turning to look at Qi Yunfan, “Brother Yunfan, don’t blame Chuyi. She’s not lacking in experience or vision; she’s just overtaken by her concern. She doesn’t know how good my relationship with Doctor Anxin is. I never brag about such things.”

Qi Yunfan’s face showed admiration, “I know you’ve always been low-profile. Even I didn’t know you were so close to Doctor Anxin. Youyou, you truly are my treasure of a girlfriend. It’s my fortune to have you and also a blessing for the aunt to have a daughter like you.”

“Not at all, actually I haven’t done much. It’s all trifling matters, not worth mentioning.”

Wen Nianyou moved closer to Ye Chuyi and poked the bloody mark on the back of her hand that Lin Yueqin had scratched, seeing Ye Chuyi flinch in pain, she smiled in satisfaction, “Chuyi, thank you for visiting my mom. However, next time don’t use visiting my mom as an excuse to get close to Brother Yunfan on purpose.”

Ye Chuyi didn’t know what was on her hand, the wound she had poked felt burning hot, but she did not retreat.

She leaned forward slightly and whispered in Wen Nianyou’s ear, “Qi Yunfan is just the trash I’ve discarded. You picked up the trash I threw away, and you’re so afraid the trash won’t want you, concocting a bunch of lies to maintain the facade of a loving relationship. What if Qi Yunfan found out you don’t actually know Doctor Anxin at all? Do you think that loving image would last?”

Wen Nianyou’s face turned pale abruptly, “You!”

Ye Chuyi straightened her back, standing tall, and with a faint tone added, “I wish Miss Nianyou and Young Master Qi a loving relationship that lasts forever. Young Master Qi, you will always love Miss Nianyou, won’t you?”

“Of course!”

“Will you still love her even if Miss Nianyou can’t get Doctor Anxin?”

“What are you talking about? How could Youyou be unable to get Doctor Anxin?”

“She just can’t.”

“My love for Youyou is unrelated to anyone else; I just love her.”

“You’d better.”

After finishing her words, Ye Chuyi, holding her coconut, walked toward the exit with big strides.

She drove back to the hospital.noveldrama

As soon as she entered the office, she saw Sheng Tingyuan sitting in front of her desk again.

However, she had no mood to deal with Sheng Tingyuan that day and took a seat on the sofa.

Sheng Tingyuan found it strange that she was so silent today. She usually complained whenever he came to see her. His sudden absence of complaints made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Seeing her holding a coconut, he asked her, “Do you like to drink this?”

Ye Chuyi nodded as an answer to him.

Sheng Tingyuan looked at the back of her hand, “How did you get hurt on your hand?”

Ye Chuyi shook her head, “It’s nothing.”

“Three scratch marks, and you say it’s nothing? An Huadong said your hands are the steadiest in the world, and he values you immensely. How can you take it so lightly?”

Ye Chuyi finally looked at him. She noticed the emotion in Sheng Tingyuan’s voice and was surprised, “Why do you seem angrier than I am?”
