“You weren’t such a timid pushover back when you were in school. Why is it that ever since you got married to Chen Ze, you seem to have changed into a different person? That confident spirit you had just now, that’s how you should actually be! That is who you truly are.”

As Si Xing muttered these words, he turned around and handed Wen Xi a glass of warm milk.

Looking at this student of his, Si Xing silently sighed in his heart. He then said in a disappointed tone, “If you had acted like you’re not someone to be trifled with in the past, who would’ve dared to provoke and bully you before this?”

Of course, Wen Xi understood what he meant and felt warmness engulfing her heart. She looked at him with a complicated expression and took the glass of milk. “Ding Min and I just had a little argument. It’s not as serious as Teacher made it out to be. I’m fine.”

“Is it really just a little argument?”

Hearing Wen Xi’s seemingly nonchalant words, Si Xing’s expression became complicated. He seemed to know what Wen Xi was thinking and asked in a low voice.

Sensing that something was wrong with her mentor’s expression, Wen Xi asked carefully in a probing tone, “What’s this? Who made Teacher so angry?”

Si Xing recalled the rumors he had heard recently and looked up at Wen Xi with heartache and anger. He sighed deeply and said in a heavy tone, “According to common sense, this is between you and Chen Ze, a matter between you and your husband. As an outsider and a mentor, I can’t involve myself too much! However, there are some things that Chen Ze has gone too far with. Whenever I feel like I can’t stand it, I really just want to scold him.”

Seeing that Wen Xi was only looking at him calmly without any special emotions about the ‘matter’ he had mentioned, Si Xing felt a little strange. He looked at Wen Xi and said with mild anger, “Do you know what Chen Ze did? Did he tell you?”

Wen Xi gently held the warm cup in her hand and looked at Si Xing with her clear and beautiful eyes without blinking. She did not seem to be curious about what Chen Ze had done to make Si Xing so angry, and she didn’t show any special reactions.

Instead, she even looked at Si Xing and smiled gently. When she opened her mouth, she said in a gentle voice, “Teacher, what you’re trying to say is that Chen Ze is going to do a postgraduate student exchange with Rhine Medical School in M country, right? I know about this. What’s wrong with that? Isn’t that a good thing for our hospital?”

As if he had heard something unbelievable, Si Xing looked at Wen Xi in surprise and explained in a deep voice, “Do you really know or are you just faking it? That postgraduate student from Rhine Medical School was selected by Chen Ze himself. Do you know who she is?”

“It’s Bai Lin, Xixi!” Si Xing said with a face full of worry. He looked at his beloved student with heartache and said to her, “Chen Ze is still thinking about that woman! What do you mean by an exchange between our two hospitals’ postgraduate students? This was clearly done just to pave the way for Bai Lin’s future development once she returns to China! He, Chen Ze, is very considerate of her. He had arranged everything for her properly. Moreover, she had just returned from abroad, and he immediately wants to smother her in another layer of benevolence! What’s wrong, you ask? Next thing we know, he’s going to package her as the next Medical Saint!”

As Si Xing spoke, he was really fuming from Chen Ze’s actions. He stood up and stared at Wen Xi with his eyes wide open. His tone could not hide the sarcasm, “This husband of yours is really doing a good job. When has he ever cared so much about you, Mrs. Chen? I won’t talk about any other major matters, but just take the department as an example. Every holiday, whenever the doctors are able to take turns to rest, doesn’t he always look for you to step forward and take over their shifts? So, when will Chen Ze’s ‘thoughtfulness’ and ‘kindness’ be shared with you?”
