11 – Are you still infatuated with her?
Sacred Heart Hospital’s surgery department was second only to the emergency room in terms of busyness. When Fu Chenxuan dragged Jin Zhiren out of his office, he was still reviewing scans for a patient.
“Young master, what’s the matter? Let me finish with this patient first,” Jin Zhiren adjusted his thin-rimmed glasses and sighed helplessly.
Fu Chenxuan took the scans from his hand and passed them to a nearby doctor. “A simple sprain like this doesn’t require the attention of the youngest internationally renowned attending physician. Come with me.”
Jin Zhiren chuckled, waved to his colleagues in the department, then escaped Fu Chenxuan’s grip to straighten his tie. “What do you need me for?”
“Come home with me,” Fu Chenxuan said flatly.
Jin Zhiren looked both surprised and amused, pretending to hug himself while raising an eyebrow with a mocking laugh. “Go home with you? That’s not my style, find someone else.”
Fu Chenxuan glanced back at him coldly. Jin Zhiren surrendered with a shrug and followed.
Once in the car, Jin Zhiren looked at the roses and gift boxes filling the vehicle and tried to push them away in disgust, but was stopped by Fu Chenxuan’s sharp command: “Don’t touch them.”
“What’s all this? Have you taken a liking to someone?” Jin Zhiren asked in astonishment.
Then he noticed with horror that the typically stone-faced man was smiling faintly. Sensing something wrong, he edged away. “Hey, hey, hey, don’t tell me it’s me you’re after! I’d rather die than surrender!”
“Get lost!” Fu Chenxuan’s smile vanished instantly, and he looked at Jin Zhiren with disgust.
Jin Zhiren was baffled for a moment before realizing. “Wait, don’t tell me these are for Chu Yunruan again?”
“I thought you’d finally come to your senses,” Jin Zhiren shook his head in disappointment.
Jin Zhiren had been Fu Chenxuan’s friend for many years. As a surgeon, he had saved countless members of Fu Chenxuan’s team, including Fu Chenxuan himself.
That’s why he couldn’t understand why Fu Chenxuan had been so fixated on Chu Yunruan these past two years.
What kind of woman couldn’t Fu Chenxuan have? Whether innocent, seductive, spirited, cute, or refreshing – with just a snap of his fingers, countless women would flock to him.
Yet he remained uniquely devoted to this Chu Yunruan.
Jin Zhiren couldn’t comprehend it either. How could an ordinary pretty girl like Chu Yunruan captivate this stone-faced deity?
If he really had to choose, even her younger sister would be better than this dull older sister.
Jin Zhiren shook his head and sighed.
“After we get home, examine Ruan Ruan’s condition. Her mind is clear now, but you must cure her speech impediment as soon as possible,” Fu Chenxuan said calmly.
Jin Zhiren burst out laughing, pointing at himself with an expression that said he found Fu Chenxuan unreasonable. “Me? I’m a surgeon, what are you thinking?”
“I don’t care about that,” Jin Zhiren’s attitude toward Chu Yunruan was quite poor.
Fu Chenxuan didn’t respond, but the atmosphere around him grew colder. The man’s obsidian-like eyes fixed on Jin Zhiren, filling with icy intensity. Jin Zhiren couldn’t hold out for more than a few seconds. “Alright, alright, alright.”
“If she’s really clear-minded now, I’ll cure her even if it costs me my life,” Jin Zhiren muttered discontentedly.
Fu Chenxuan’s private residence was situated at the highest point of the affluent district, built against the mountain with the leisurely charm of a modern urban paradise.
Chu Ruan was at home, having just finished arranging her belongings, when she heard the maid downstairs say, “The master is back.”Chu Ruan laughed, fluttering down the stairs like a graceful butterfly, ready to throw herself into the man’s embrace.
Halfway through her motion, she halted, her gaze fixed on Jin Zhiren standing behind Fu Chenxuan.
It was that doctor who called her a fool!
