Minghai City Hospital, as usual, is bustling with people coming and going.

For some reason, perhaps it's the same in every city, but wherever there's a city hospital, there's always a constant flow of people. It seems like only this kind of hospital can heal and save lives. Of course, most of the medical experts are indeed here, but maybe because there are so many experts here, sometimes, life seems no more valuable than money.

Of course, this is already a common phenomenon in society. Ye Xiao is just an ordinary person. He has no grand ambitions or aspirations, and he's certainly not a savior. He's just a regular person, so naturally, he can't manage so much.

"Nurse Song, do you have time at noon? How about we have a meal together?" A young doctor in a white coat stood at the nurses' station, smiling and speaking to the only female nurse left inside.

The young doctor in the white coat was quite good-looking, and because he had just returned from further studies abroad, he became a star doctor in the entire hospital. Even Du Yan, who was once dazzling in this hospital, couldn't match his current fame—no way, he is now the most promising doctor in the hospital. Of course, the most important point is that his uncle-in-law is the hospital director.

As the saying goes, if not for the monk, respect the Buddha—besides, his own qualifications are indeed impressive.

Song Jiaqian politely looked at the young man and smiled, "Doctor Liuu, I'm the only one left at the nurses' station right now. If I leave too, and patients look for a nurse, it wouldn't be very good."

"Nurse Song, you're really dedicated and considerate towards the patients. However, I heard that you've given up your weekend breaks three times, which isn't very good. Although work is important, so is your health. So, I plan to apply to my uncle-in-law to give you a three-day leave to go and rest well. Of course, if you're willing, I could accompany you as a guardian to go out and have some fun." Liuu Xinpeng said to Song Jiaqian with a smile, his words not lacking a hint of flattery.

Of course, for a rare beauty like Song Jiaqian, how many men wouldn't want to pay her compliments?

Song Jiaqian's first impression of Liuu Xinpeng was very good, that was the day Liuu Xinpeng returned from abroad. Of course, this good impression was limited to the realm of medical knowledge. But after Liuu Xinpeng returned to the hospital, Song Jiaqian's impression of him worsened. Firstly, he frequently mentioned the director in the hospital, always talking about how his uncle-in-law was this and that, and how good their relationship was.

This was clearly telling others, "I have a strong backing, and my uncle-in-law is the director, so you all must respect me."

As for family background, Song Jiaqian could completely overshadow Liuu Xinpeng by a hundred yards. You must know, Song Jiaqian's father is the top figure in Minghai City. Because of events two months ago, Song Jianping and Sun Bin now act in total agreement on everything, and Sun Bin holds Song Jianping in great respect. Hence, Song Jianping in Minghai City is more like a local emperor than ever before.

Song Jiaqian, who has always had no interest in people's backgrounds, encountered such a person who loved to show off his background. This was undoubtedly a rather unharmonious situation.

However, Song Jiaqian had encountered many people like this since she was young. If she got angry and displeased with all of them, wouldn't she have been infuriated to death by these people long ago?

"Thank you, Doctor Liuu, but I really don't feel tired. On the contrary, I find work very relaxing and full of fun. So, I have no plans for a vacation. Thank you for your kind offer," Song Jiaqian said tactfully.

Liuu Xinpeng didn't show any displeasure from Song Jiaqian's words. Instead, he hadn't even heard that Song Jiaqian disliked him. He continued to smile at her, saying, "Nurse Song, I haven't been back long and indeed don't know much about the hospital. Are you free tonight? I want to learn about the various aspects of the hospital from you. I'm a person who cares about face, so I don't like to discuss these things with unfamiliar people. It would be laughed at. Nurse Song, you wouldn't refuse, right."

Of course, Song Jiaqian wanted to refuse, after all, how could she not understand Liuu Xinpeng's intentions? But it was hard to say no since there was no other implication in his words, just to communicate for a faster understanding of the hospital. From a work perspective, he seemed patient and eager to learn.

Song Jiaqian was suddenly in a bit of a dilemma.

"Nurse Song, is it difficult for you? I really have no other intentions, so please don't misunderstand." Liuu Xinpeng said.

Song Jiaqian, who was still hesitating, felt even more at a loss now because of Liuu Xinpeng's words.

"This…" Song Jiaqian felt she should respond to Liuu Xinpeng, but what should she say? Agree to his invitation? Clearly not. Physically and mentally, she was unwilling, but they were colleagues, and she always hated when others thought she was using her family's background for gain.

But then again, should she just agree?

Song Jiaqian immediately dismissed that thought—absolutely not. Being fully aware of this man's ulterior motives yet willingly falling into the trap, wasn't that like walking right into the lion's den?

Seeing Song Jiaqian's indecisive expression, Liuu Xinpeng felt even more excited, with an even broader smile on his face, because the effect he most desired was just this—only when Song Jiaqian was in a dilemma could he step forward and make his move.

"Nurse Song, don't be troubled. Perhaps you're already booked for tonight? If you're really booked, we can reschedule. Besides, I really need to stress, purely work-related, not personal." Liuu Xinpeng's current aim was simple: to coax Song Jiaqian into a date first; once on the date, whether to talk business or personal, wouldn't it all be up to him?

So, Liuu Xinpeng thought he had covered every detail except…

"You're really clever. Qianqian's lunchtime and dinner are already booked." A voice filled with a mocking smile came over.

Liuu Xinpeng reacted as if he'd been suddenly pricked by a needle, immediately turning his head to look at the speaker.

At the same time, it wasn't just Liuu Xinpeng who turned to look, but also the indecisive and at a loss Song Jiaqian.

Song Jiaqian looked up at the speaker, and her eyes brightened. That earlier indecision vanished in an instant.

Liuu Xinpeng looked at the speaker, casting an evaluating glance. This person was dressed ordinarily, wore a smile, and looked about twenty years old, like a young man with a boyish face.

"Was that you talking just now?" Liuu Xinpeng looked at Ye Xiao, speaking with some disdain.

After all, a young doctor who went abroad for studies and was immediately given an important position in the city hospital would definitely have a sense of superiority that wasn't ordinary. At least, among his peers, he felt quite prestigious.

The young man looked at Liuu Xinpeng and said with a smile, "It's working hours, chasing after beauties, haha, that's not something a doctor should be doing."

The young man's words immediately drew the attention of many patients and their families walking back and forth.

"Who are you? Don't speak nonsense," Liuu Xinpeng immediately retorted upon seeing people watching, not wanting his image to be damaged.

"So you're saying I'm wrong, huh? Haha, looks like you haven't taken a fancy to this beautiful nurse."

Liuu Xinpeng was somewhat embarrassed by the young man's straightforward words, and now it was his turn to be unsure of how to respond.

If he said he wasn't interested, he'd be afraid of giving a bad impression to Song Jiaqian. But if he said he was interested, it would obviously look bad to be pursuing beauties while at work. This was clearly not a good thing, so at this moment, Liuu Xinpeng's face turned extremely awkward, to the point of being described as absolutely awful.

"Ye Xiao!" At this moment, there was no way for Nurse Song Jiaqian to hold back her emotions anymore; she directly walked out from the nurse's station and immediately gave Ye Xiao a full embrace.

"Ah?" At this moment, it wasn't just Liuu Xinpeng who was dumbfounded, several onlookers were also shocked.

Even if they didn't often come to Minghai City Hospital, those who visited once or twice would have heard about the hospital's beautiful nurse. This beautiful nurse could be completely described as stunningly beautiful, and now she was directly locking her arms around the neck of a young man, actively hugging him.

What is meant by envy, jealousy, and hatred? At this moment, almost everyone finally understood the meaning of these five words.

Ye Xiao held onto Song Jiaqian, looking at Liuu Xinpeng's name tag with a smile, and said, "Doctor Liuu, my apologies, no blame to the unwary. You're bold in pursuing the person you like, and that's good, but the person you like is already taken. So, it's best not to entertain such thoughts anymore, because if you do, I, as her boyfriend, might have to knock your teeth out."

"What are you saying? What kind of place is this? How can you behave like this?" Liuu Xinpeng said with a straight face, giving a cold snort. "I think you misunderstood, but looking at your age, you're probably still in school, right? Don't start dating too early, it will affect your future."

"You're really overestimating me. I'm no longer in school." Ye Xiao said.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao was no longer studying, Liuu Xinpeng immediately reacted as if he'd caught Ye Xiao in a lie, quickly sneering, "So you're holding a high position somewhere, little brother."

"I told you, Doctor Liuu, you're giving me too much credit." Ye Xiao chuckled, "I'm just a small person mingling in society, talking about holding a high position is a bit much."
