Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 188: A Ye; I’m Here

Xu Qinghuan glanced at Deng Aiguo indifferently, "Believe it or not!"

At this moment, she just wanted to find a place to rest.

After Xu Qinghuan left, Song Yanqing told the director, "Doctor Xu used a bone adhesive during the surgery, which was very remarkable, coupled with her familiarity with human bones and her meticulous and exquisite surgical skills. I believe what Doctor Xu said."

Song Yanqing is not someone who praises others casually; her personality is as cautious as her medical skills.

Deng Aiguo hurriedly turned around and went out, wanting to inquire about how long it would take to know the results of the surgery.

Outside the operating room, Xu Qinghuan immediately spotted Jiang Xingye.

The last touch of orange sunset shone on him through the window. He was wearing a simple shirt that didn’t quite fit and loose navy trousers, sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, resting. The light softened his expression, casting a gentle glow over his sharply contoured face.

He abruptly opened his eyes and saw Xu Qinghuan, recognizing her instantly, even though she hadn’t removed her protective gear yet.

"Huanhuan!" Jiang Xingye quickly stood up and came over.

"Wait for me. I need to clean up first," Xu Qinghuan didn’t let him get close.

Feeling a bit wronged, he followed behind her like a tail, keeping a few steps away but remaining unwavering.

Along the way, some people were watching him.

Jiang Xingye kept his eyes straight, or rather, he only had eyes for his fiancée.

It was the same room they had been in together before. Xu Qinghuan went in, removed all her protective gear, washed her hands repeatedly with soap, then drew the curtain in the middle. From her space, she took out an alcohol spray and spritzed it all over herself.

Seeing Jiang Xingye’s composed face, Xu Qinghuan smiled and lightly tugged at his cheek, "Why are you unhappy?"

The slight disappointment Jiang Xingye felt earlier had already dissipated. He wrapped Xu Qinghuan tightly in his arms, holding her closely, "I’m not unhappy."

He merely recalled the words of the young nurse. To everyone, he seemed unworthy of her.

He somewhat despised himself for being so inadequate, making her ashamed because she had him as a fiancé, causing her to be looked down upon by others.

"Not being honest, trying to deceive me?" Xu Qinghuan tugged at his cheek again, more gently this time, fearing it might hurt him. "Have you been waiting for me a long time? I’m sorry, I promise that next time, before going into surgery, I’ll tell you approximately how long it will take."

She misunderstood, and Jiang Xingye let the mistake continue.

He couldn’t explain his feelings to her. Initially, there was indeed a significant gap between them. She had catered to him in many aspects, and he constantly worried that one day she would tire and no longer accommodate him, leading them to the end of their relationship.

"Are you hungry? Go have something to eat first." Jiang Xingye released her, "The lunch I bought you earlier, you didn’t eat it, and now it’s not good anymore. I brought you something fresh."

Jiang Xingye handed her the lunchbox he always carried with him. At this moment, Zhou Bingyan came over, delivering the lunchbox Jiang Xingye gave her at noon.

"Doctor Xu, this is the lunchbox Comrade Jiang entrusted me to keep for you. I didn’t expect the surgery to take this long."

Zhou Bingyan should have clocked out from work two hours ago, but she waited until now just for the chance to say a word face to face with Xu Qinghuan, and she didn’t expect to see Comrade Jiang again.

However, with the main person there, although she purely wanted to admire such breathtaking beauty, she didn’t dare to be bold.

"Thank you!" Xu Qinghuan rummaged in her pocket, but actually took two milk candies from her space and handed them to her.

Zhou Bingyan was momentarily surprised, excitedly accepting them, and stammering, "Thank you, thank you, Doctor Xu. Oh, I’m so happy!"

Realizing her own awkwardness, she became very embarrassed and ran out.

When she reached the department, she showed the two milk candies to her colleagues, "Ah ah ah! Did you see? Doctor Xu gave them to me. I just brought lunch to Doctor Xu, and she gave me two milk candies."

A colleague extended a hand, ready to take one. Zhou Bingyan quickly clasped her hands together, "Don’t eat them, I won’t either. I want to keep them, hold onto them forever as a memento."

"You... Is it really necessary?" The colleague touched her forehead, "No fever, so why silly?"

"Doctor Xu is really stunningly beautiful, and her boyfriend is indeed very handsome. She’s younger than me, yet her medical skills are so advanced. I heard from Doctor Song that this surgery was a great success. I truly admire her."

Zhou Bingyan appeared star-struck, leaving the colleague a bit speechless, "Aren’t you clocking out? Look, who’s here?"

As she lifted her eyes, she was momentarily dazzled. Who is this person? Why do they look exactly like her brother?

Zhou Jijun, in his military uniform, came over and lightly tapped Zhou Bingyan’s forehead, "Why are you dazed? Are you off work? If you’re off, go home."

He had returned for a family visit, and his mother, noticing that his sister hadn’t come home after being off for so long, asked him to check if she was working overtime or if something had happened on the way.

As they left the department, Zhou Jijun overheard a female doctor in a white coat saying, "This surgery was very successful. I can assure you it was unprecedented in our hospital."

"I always feel like you’re blindly idolizing," another male doctor remarked.

"No, I’m the first assistant. I saw Doctor Xu perform the surgery myself. The pelvis was shattered at such an old age, and previously the chance of recovery from surgery was zero, with the only possibility being a paralyzed leg afterward. But this surgery, I can guarantee, will restore normal function."

Zhou Jijun hesitated slightly in his steps, intending to listen a bit longer, but the two had a disagreement and parted ways.

After leaving, he asked his sister, "Did your hospital have a major surgery today?"

"Yes, the surgery was performed by the doctor I admire. Brother, let me tell you, Doctor Xu is really impressive, extremely impressive." Zhou Bingyan chattered away about the matter when Xu Qinghuan previously admitted Xie Qunfang.

Zhou Jijun concluded that this female doctor had good medical ethics and skills, but the information he sought wasn’t about these aspects.

"What about the person with the shattered pelvis incident?"

"Oh, said to be nearly sixty, a cadre, and the director specifically asked Doctor Xu to perform the surgery. I heard she used an adhesive she made to bond the bones together, and this adhesive aids bone growth."

The adhesive had bonding properties and medicinal effects, no wonder Song Yanqing had such unwavering trust in Xu Qinghuan.

Zhou Jijun considered thoughtfully.

The door to the restroom was open. After Xu Qinghuan washed briefly, she lay down on the bed and immediately fell asleep, her hand tightly clutching Jiang Xingye’s shirt.

Jiang Xingye sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard. This position would become uncomfortable over time, but to him, it equated to being together with Xu Qinghuan, sharing the bed.

Sweets as honey.

Unknowingly, Jiang Xingye also fell asleep, although he was in a light sleep, still able to perceive the footsteps in the corridor and sensed people occasionally peeping at the doorway.

After midnight, everything finally calmed down. Jiang Xingye’s leg went numb. As he gently moved, Xu Qinghuan’s hand reached out, unconsciously calling, "Ye!"

"I’m here!" Jiang Xingye moved off the bed, enveloping her in his arms, fearing he might wake her.
