Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 1043: Fang Jing's Physical Examination


The Jetta was speeding along the highway at an incredible rate, speeding was nothing more than child's play for Ye Xiao. He just wanted to get to the State Hospital as quickly as possible, hoping to be the first to learn about Fang Jing's condition.

However, while driving, Ye Xiao's cell phone suddenly rang.

At this moment, the last thing Ye Xiao wanted to hear was his phone ringing because the ringtone could mean a lot of things, like Xia Mingyue calling to report Fang Jing's condition.

Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment, yet he still picked up his phone. But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the name displayed on the screen was not Xia Mingyue, but Jiang Miaoke whom he hadn't seen for many days!

Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile and immediately answered the call.

"Hey, Coco darling!" Ye Xiao teasingly greeted.

Jiang Miaoke heard Ye Xiao's voice, but to her surprise, his first words were teasing her, and she purposefully responded angrily: "It's been days since we've seen each other, have you forgotten about me? Also, who said I'm your wife? Don't say that."

"Hehehe, I'm not saying it randomly. I'm a person who loves to speak the truth most. You should know that very well." Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Jiang Miaoke said, "Where have you been these days? Why was your phone unreachable, Sister Mingyue said you left Bird City."

"Um, yeah, I did leave Bird City a few days ago, just got back yesterday." Ye Xiao said.

"Am I so insignificant? Am I just an ordinary friend to you? Shouldn't you let me know?" Jiang Miaoke sounded extremely disgruntled over the phone.

Ye Xiao grinned, then laughed and said, "How could you be an ordinary friend? Actually, I just didn't want you to worry."

"But don't you know, you idiot, you made me even more worried." Jiang Miaoke couldn't help saying.

"You used coarse language."

"So what?"

Ye Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "I like you even more for it."

"Hmph, smooth talker, what are you doing now?"

"Speeding on the highway!" Ye Xiao replied.

Jiang Miaoke said, "As if I'd believe you, where are you going?"

"Going to see Ruoxi!" Ye Xiao said truthfully.

"What?" Jiang Miaoke heard Ye Xiao's words and immediately got even angrier. She said, "You came back and didn't contact me, yet you want to see Ruoxi? Ye Xiao, you idiot!"

The call was hung up!

Ye Xiao was left stunned.

What just happened? How come he doesn't even know what was going on and he was consecutively scolded?

Could it be he didn't check the almanac before leaving today?

Well? Seems like he never checks it anyway.

Ye Xiao continued to drive the Jetta, leisurely moving forward, but the image of Jiang Miaoke with a pouting face and hands on her hips flashed in his mind, making him unable to resist laughing.

If Ye Xiao didn't know why Jiang Miaoke was upset just now, he naturally understood now. Jiang Miaoke was jealous.

Ye Xiao sighed, now he had to go to the State Hospital immediately, so he could only wait until Fang Jing finished her check-up to consider how to comfort Jiang Miaoke.

Of course, that was Ye Xiao's idea, but as soon as he drove to the State Hospital's entrance, he couldn't help but laugh.

Turned out, at this moment, Jiang Miaoke and the girl named Qi Xin were standing at the entrance of the State Hospital. Jiang Miaoke was looking left and right, obviously searching for something, of course, if Ye Xiao guessed correctly, she was surely looking for him.

"Hey, beauties, want a ride?" The Jetta stopped next to Jiang Miaoke, and Ye Xiao leaned out, smiling as he spoke to Jiang Miaoke.

Only then did Jiang Miaoke realize that the driver of the shabby Jetta was actually Ye Xiao, whom she was looking all around for.

"Why are you driving this kind of car?" Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao in disbelief.

Ye Xiao looked at the Jetta, then said, "No important work right now, so I plan to drive a taxi."

Jiang Miaoke rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao, not bothering to respond to him.

However, when Ye Xiao's gaze fell on Qi Xin, Qi Xin smiled at Ye Xiao, greeted him, and said, "Hello, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see." Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Get in the car, staying here blocking the way will make people talk, although you guys are beautiful, those people won't necessarily give you face."

Jiang Miaoke and Qi Xin went up the shabby Jetta anyway.

"Why didn't you tell me it was to check Fang Jing's health?" Jiang Miaoke said with some resentment after getting in the car.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Wasn't it to make you jealous for a bit? Jealousy is good for the health."

"You are the one jealous, I am not." Jiang Miaoke said stubbornly.

"Really?" Ye Xiao chuckled softly and said, "Alright, I'm jealous, but I really can't think of anyone worth my jealousy."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Miaoke squinted her eyes and glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled smugly and said, "I'm so handsome; no one would dare become my rival in love. It would only make them look bad."

"Alright, let's drive. You might not care about your reputation, but we still do." Jiang Miaoke remarked speechlessly, which made Qi Xin in the backseat cover her mouth and laugh lightly.

"What's making you so happy, beautiful Qi Xin? Won the lottery?" Ye Xiao asked.

Qi Xin wasn't the type to be pretentious. Hearing Ye Xiao's words, she replied generously, "I'm just amused by you and Coco. You're like two living treasures."

"Thanks for the compliment!" Ye Xiao immediately stepped on the gas pedal.

But Jiang Miaoke was not pleased and immediately said to Qi Xin, "Qi Xin, how could you lump me together with this guy? If you want to insult me, just say it."

Sitting in the back, Qi Xin listened to Ye Xiao and Jiang Miaoke's back-and-forth banter and suddenly felt a sense of joy—not the kind of schadenfreude, but a harmonious joy.

It wasn't long before Ye Xiao parked the car, and together with Jiang Miaoke and Qi Xin, they went to the floor Xia Mingyue mentioned previously, which was also where Han Ruoxi's office was located.

"Ruoxi, how much longer do we have to wait?" Xia Mingyue asked seriously as she sat in Han Ruoxi's office.

Han Ruoxi said, "About ten minutes or so. However, once the person comes out, the most accurate results will quickly follow. Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be fine."

Listening to Han Ruoxi's reassuring words, Xia Mingyue sighed. She sincerely hoped Fang Jing would be okay, but what Ye Xiao said last night had been unsettling her. She was terrified of anything happening to Fang Jing.

This morning, Xia Mingyue insisted on dragging Fang Jing for a check-up. The reason she gave was that she wanted to have a check-up and wanted Fang Jing to accompany her. Of course, once at the hospital, Xia Mingyue found an excuse to have Fang Jing go first for her check-up.

Because Xia Mingyue opted for the most comprehensive check-up, it naturally required more time.

"Will Ye Xiao come too?" Han Ruoxi asked casually while tidying up things.

Upon hearing Han Ruoxi's question, Xia Mingyue looked up at Han Ruoxi, who was currently tidying up, and said, "He should come. You and Ye Xiao are quite familiar, right?"

Han Ruoxi's hands paused momentarily as she was tidying up, then continued, saying, "Not particularly familiar, we've just met a few times."

Xia Mingyue didn't continue the conversation but waited instead. At that moment, Jiang Miaoke's voice could be heard from outside.

"The door seems shut. Let's go and see." Jiang Miaoke said to Ye Xiao and Qi Xin.

However, as they reached the office door, Xia Mingyue had already reached out and opened it.

When Ye Xiao, Jiang Miaoke, and Qi Xin saw Xia Mingyue standing at the doorway, Jiang Miaoke immediately asked, "Sister Mingyue, is Sister Jing alright?"

Xia Mingyue said, "Come in first, and we'll talk."

Ye Xiao and the others all walked into the office.

When Han Ruoxi saw Ye Xiao also had arrived, her eyes lingered on Ye Xiao for more than a second but quickly turned away.

No one noticed this detail, though.

"We don't know the specifics yet!" Xia Mingyue said, "The examination isn't over."

Jiang Miaoke asked, "What's exactly wrong with Sister Jing? What illness does she have? Ruoxi, it's nothing serious, is it?"

At this moment, Han Ruoxi said, "I don't know what specific illness it is. It seems someone mentioned it might be a tumor."

"What?" Upon hearing Han Ruoxi's words, Jiang Miaoke immediately said, displeased, "Who the hell said it was a tumor? That's not something you can just throw around!"

At the time, Jiang Miaoke was standing right next to Ye Xiao, so Ye Xiao heard her words clearly and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

At this moment, Xia Mingyue pointed at Ye Xiao and said, "It was him!"

Jiang Miaoke followed Xia Mingyue's finger to Ye Xiao and immediately asked strangely, "Ye Xiao, how do you know it's a tumor?"

Ye Xiao, questioned by Jiang Miaoke, said, "I can't be certain. I can only say it really seems like one."

"What kind of international joke is this? Tumors are cancer! Can you just say it seems like one?" Jiang Miaoke said speechless.

At this moment, Han Ruoxi said, "Let's wait for the test results to come out first."

Qi Xin said, "State Hospital has several experts in tumor treatment. It should be fine. Besides, even if there is a tumor, it doesn't have to be malignant; it could be benign. If it's benign, then it's okay."

Qi Xin's words brought a glimmer of hope to those present. At least, everyone hoped it would be benign if anything.

The waiting time always felt slow. After nearly ten minutes, there was suddenly a knock on the office door, and Ye Xiao, who was standing by the door, reached out and opened it.

At this moment, standing at the door was a person holding a medical report.

"Ye Xiao? Why are you all here? Are you here for a check-up too?" Fang Jing, holding the medical report, asked curiously upon seeing Ye Xiao and Jiang Miaoke.
