C36 Small Belly Chicken Intestines

"Yicheng, what happened to you today?"

"Nothing, Xi Xi, I was just too worried about you."

"I think your worries are unnecessary. Let's order, I'm a bit hungry."

Xu Yicheng took a deep breath, then picked up the menu and said apologetically, "Sorry, it was my problem."

Qiao Xi looked at him doubtfully. Xu Yi Cheng was a little anxious today. She lowered her eyes slightly, her chest felt heavy, as if she was suffocating and couldn't get rid of it.

Just when she thought the conversation was over, Xu Yicheng spoke up again after ordering, "Your client was quite old last time. Is he married?"

It seems like he did not recognize that person at that time. "Not at the moment."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Not at the moment."

She carefully observed Xu Yicheng's expression. The moment she said no, her pupils suddenly contracted, causing her expression to change slightly as well. The suffocating feeling in Qiao Xi's heart became even more unbearable.

"Xi Xi, blame me for being too stingy. My girlfriend is too beautiful, I feel that every time a single man appears next to me, I'll be a love rival."

"You're thinking too much. It's impossible for me and the client."

For a family like the Shen family, how could they fancy her? The Wealthy Class families in the Imperial City were all in strong alliances, and they were stabilizing their own position. This was already the law of the Wealthy Class.

"What if the other party is interested in you?"

"But I'm not interested in others, and I can't get rid of my male friends when I go out to work. Do I have to resign and change jobs the next time I meet a single man?"

Qiao Xi was a little disappointed with Xu Yicheng today. The way he looked today was very different from how a modest gentleman looked in the past.

"Xi Xi, that's not what I meant."

"You don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I …"

Qiao Xi was also a little angry. "If couples don't even have the most basic trust, then what's the point of being together?"

Xu Yicheng wiped his face and held her hand tightly.

"It's because I'm too stingy. I'm just too afraid of losing you."

"Yicheng, you're too anxious right now. I won't have anything to do with my client, even if he's a single man with a lot of money. If you keep thinking that way, it'll hurt me, okay?"

Xu Yicheng nodded. His mood had already collapsed since last night. He was eager to get his revenge from his relationship.

"Xi Xi, let's meet more often in the evening in the future. Only then will I feel safe."

Qiao Xi stared at him, unable to nod his head. She was an expert in psychology. She could clearly see Xu Yi's strong possessiveness. Such a person would become agitated and uneasy if they didn't receive a satisfactory response from him.

She lowered her eyes. "I'll do my best."

"Alright, let's eat."

After the conversation just now, Qiao Xi had no appetite at all. Xu Yicheng had a good appetite and kept picking up dishes for her, but she didn't eat at all.

She looked at the time and remembered Shen Yeyan's words that she had to return early in the evening.

"Xi Xi, let's go see a movie later."

"I'm afraid not. I still have some matters to attend to tonight."

Xu Yicheng was curious. "It's already so late."

"Yes, I have a date with a client for treatment at night."

"The treatment can't be done during the day, it has to be done at night. What are you thinking?"

There were many things that Qiao Xi couldn't explain to him. "You're thinking too much."

Xu Yicheng's originally smiling face darkened. "In the future, we should try our best to keep it during the day and avoid the night."

"Just wait until the contract with the patient expires."

"I'll take you there tonight."

"Mm, that's fine too."

However, he was afraid that he would leak out Shen Yeyan's illness. After all, his identity and position in the Imperial City was already so high. If his illness were to be leaked out, it would be a great harm to him and the Shen family's company.

After she had dinner with Xu Yicheng, they went to the car park to get a car and Qiao Xi gave out the address. Xu Yi Cheng had heard that the area was filled with imperial mansions worth over 100 million, so he felt depressed. That man was even richer than he imagined.

"Xi Xi, what is your customer doing?"

"Starting a company."

"What company?"

Qiao Xi noticed that he was asking about it. "I don't know the specifics. After all, this is a customer's own business."

"Xi Xi, don't take it to heart, I was just casually asking."

"Yes."

The capital was bustling at night. She lowered the window and let the night breeze blow into the car. She breathed in and out as the car drove slowly. Xu Yicheng occasionally glanced at the quiet Qiao Xi beside her and felt even more stuffy.

Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the area. It was surrounded by brightly lit mansions with a huge area of land. This was the first time he came here. He had a whole new understanding of the rich and knew that he could live in such a big house.

Qiao Xi saw Shen Ye An's home from a distance. There was a security guard at the door that couldn't enter, so he hurriedly shouted for him to stop the car.

"Let's stop here."

It was not yet nine o'clock when she unbuckled her seat belt. "Thank you. Be careful on your way back."

"Xi Xi, when are you coming out? I'll be waiting for you here."

"I don't know when I'll come out either. Go back first."

Xu Yicheng didn't want to leave. "It's not good to take a taxi tonight, I'll wait for you here, no matter how late it is."

Qiao Xi felt a little awkward. If she stayed here at night, Xu Yicheng would find it even more difficult to accept it. Just as she was thinking about how to put it, his phone suddenly rang.

When Xu Yi Cheng saw the caller ID, he knew that there was something going on in the hospital again. He suppressed his impatience.

"Alright, I'll be back right away."

From his tone, Qiao Xi could vaguely guess what it was. "Telephone from the hospital?"

"Mm, I have to go back now. Be careful when you go back at night."

"Alright."

After she got off the car, Xu Yi's car quickly disappeared from her sight. After a while, Qiao Xi slowly entered the door and followed the tree-lined path inside.

Xu Yicheng drove back to the hospital and hurriedly changed into an operating room. "How's the patient right now?"

"The operation is needed immediately, but the patient's family has not signed it yet."

Xu Yicheng was a little angry. "Then why did you call me back?"

The nurse was stunned by his shout, her eyes slightly red. Today, it was as if Doctor Xu had eaten explosives and the patient was in trouble. Why didn't you call the main surgeon back?

Xu Yicheng's chest was still bloated as he threw down his gloves. His family refused to sign outside the door, so he pushed aside the nurse, took out a document, and slapped it on his family's chest.

"Your wife is inside waiting for surgery. If you don't want to do it, I'll get someone to push it out right now."

The family member knew the attending physician. "Doctor Xu, the success rate is too low."

"Then just push it out."

Xu Yicheng turned around and told the nurse to push the man out. The nurse was shocked, now that the patient was pushed out, there was no hope at all, only surgery could give the patient a chance of survival.

"Doctor Xu, patient …"

"Go on, what are you waiting for?"

The nurse widened her eyes as she realized that Doctor Xu was not in the right mood today. It was just that the matter of life and death was on the line, how could he bring in his personal feelings?
