Eh? Uncle?

Qian Tao’s eyes were full of suspicion.

This doctor was his mother’s brother?

Li Yunqing looked at Qian Tao again. “But she…”

“Uncle, you must be busy. You don’t have to worry about us,” Li Hengzhi interrupted.

Qian Tao could make out that his uncle wanted to say something but Li Hengzhi didn’t want him to say it.

His attitude was obvious. Thus, Li Yunqing didn’t want to push it. He nodded and said, “Alright then, I’ll allow her to be discharged. However, you have to promise me that you’ll bring her back to the hospital if she doesn’t feel well.”

“Alright.”

Before Li Yunqing left the ward, he reminded Qian Tao, “Did you hear? If you don’t feel well, remember to tell Hengzhi, don’t keep quiet.”

To an elder, Qian Tao acted obedient. She nodded. “Alright…”

Weird, wasn’t it low blood sugar? Why the repeated advice?

However, Qian Tao shifted her thoughts. It might be because his uncle knew about their marriage and did it out of concern for a family member?

Uncle’s warmth and concern was like a warm current flowing in her heart, providing comfort.

Besides her own father, she had rarely felt this kind of warmth from a family member.

***

After a while, Qian Tao got to know that Uncle was not only a doctor, but the director of this private hospital. His name was Li Yunqing.

Was Li Hengzhi’s mother’s surname Li too?

However, she remembered that she had agreed not to poke her nose into his family matters. So, she did not ask him.

Yan Hai completed the discharge process very quickly, but Qian Tao discovered that she did not have another set of clothing to change into. The one she was wearing was wet.

Just as she struggled with voicing it out, Li Hengzhi noticed. He took off his suit and instead of draping it over her shoulders, he covered her front.

Qian Tao looked down and just when she was uncertain of what that was for, her body was suddenly in the air.

She cried out in alarm and wrapped her hands around him to make sure that she would not fall.

She looked at Li Hengzhi unexpectedly. What did he intend to do?

Li Hengzhi did not say anything but walked out with her in his arms.

His amazingly good looks and vigor attracted the gaze of many. Qian Tao felt uncomfortable and hid in his embrace.

They were about to reach the front door of the hospital but Yan Hai had not driven the car over. So, Li Hengzhi stopped at the door for a while, with her still in his arms.

At that moment, he lowered his head to look at her and teased her, “Are you shy?”

“Nonsense!” Qian Tao quibbled. “I just didn’t want your admirers to see me, so they wouldn’t be jealous of me and curse me.”

Li Hengzhi’s lips curved a little and he smiled.

That very moment, Qian Tao’s heart exploded and she was stunned.

This man was truly stunning! It was only natural that a cool pretty boy didn’t smile. If he remained cool, they could still fool around happily, but that smile was just much too devilish.

“Suddenly, I believe in a rumor…” Qian Tao murmured to herself, not realizing that she had spoken aloud.

“What?”

“Ah? Nothing!” She looked at Li Hengzhi’s firm outline and narrowed her eyes.

It was a rumor that an extremely rich duchess from a filthy rich country, whose husband was dead, wanted to marry Li Hengzhi after seeing him and was willing to give him her entire fortune.
