Maybe she was overthinking it, but with Qin Xu suddenly leaving while concealing the situation and him suddenly asking her out for dinner, Ye Anne suddenly thought of something. He couldn't possibly be thinking of using this opportunity to secretly propose to her, right? He couldn't come today to pick her up from the hospital because he needed to make preparations in advance?
The more Ye Anne thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. The depressed feeling in her heart immediately dissipated like smoke in thin air. She unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth and replied Qin Xu with a short message: "Sure."
Actually, Ye Anne's thought process could not be considered as an open-minded one.
His guess was right, Qin Xu did indeed intend to propose to her on their date tonight.
Because they had to set up the plan in advance, and Qin Xu had to take care of Ye Anne while he stayed in the hospital without leaving a single inch, without being able to spare any time, they had to make the arrangements before Ye Anne left the hospital today. That was why they couldn't come to pick him up.
Qin Xu booked an entire dining room. He came to the dining hall early in the morning to wait for Ye Anne, and from time to time, he would lower his head to look at the time on his alloy watch. Her entire person was filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Who would have thought that the little Director Qin, who was previously talking about several hundred million on the market, would actually break out in a cold sweat while waiting for Ye Anne's arrival.
Qin Xu looked down at the time again. There was still half an hour before seven, and Ye Anne was almost there.
He looked longingly at the door of the dining room. While he was in a daze, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
He lowered his head and took out his phone, the caller ID showed that it was Dr. Fan.
When Qin Xu saw the name of the Dr. Fan on the screen, his first reaction was that something was wrong with Ye Anne's body, he did not dare delay and immediately picked up the phone, opening his mouth to ask the person opposite him: "Is there something wrong with Anne's body?"
On the other side of the phone, Dr. Fan was startled by Qin Xu's sudden question, and finally realised that Qin Xu had misunderstood the reason for his call.
He explained: "Anne is fine, her body is currently recovering very well, don't be too nervous … I'm looking for you for something else. "
"Hmm?" Qin Xu snorted, signalling the Dr. Fan to continue speaking.
The Dr. Fan hesitated for a moment, then said with a bit of embarrassment: "It's like this, I had some personal grudges with the director of our department back in the hospital where I previously worked, didn't I get transferred here to help Anne treat his injuries? "That 'good director' of mine used my long absence as a reason to speak ill of me in the ears of our headmaster, and urged him to drive me away …"
Speaking of this person, Dr. Fan could not help but laugh at himself.
From Dr. Fan's explanation, Qin Xu quickly understood what was going on.
Dr. Fan was Ye Anne's attending physician and had always taken great care of Anne. During this period of time, when Anne was alone and helpless, he had also taken the initiative to help her several times … Therefore, Qin Xu had already been thinking about how he could repay the Dr. Fan after he left the hospital.
However, before he could think of a way to repay Ye Anne, he heard that the Dr. Fan had lost her job due to the treatment of Ye Anne.
Qin Xu frowned slightly: "If you want, I can think of a way to get the hospital to release your director so that you can return to the hospital and replace him."
He could talk about repaying the Dr. Fan later, but at least he couldn't let the Dr. Fan lose his job because of treating Ye Anne right now.
"No, no, no!" But who would have thought that Dr. Fan would repeatedly refuse after hearing what Qin Xu said.
He said, "I'm not trying to take revenge on our director... "Actually, aside from the personal grudge between me and my director, he's still a good person. He's skilled in medicine and got expelled by the hospital. This is not only a loss for the hospital, but also for the patients …"
"I really didn't want to take revenge on him." The Dr. Fan emphasized once again.
"Then what do you want to do?" Qin Xu thought and asked.
The Dr. Fan hesitated for a moment, then replied: "I want to ask you to do me a favor in front of the Principal of Saint Kang Hospital, to let me stay here and work."
The Sheng Kang Hospital was the hospital where Ye Anne recuperated.
In order to treat Ye Anne, Dr. Fan had already stayed there for a long time and was familiar with her colleagues in the hospital.
Moreover, although the Sacred Kang Hospital was a private hospital, the doctors' benefits and training were not worse than the national hospital he was in previously. There were even many top-notch new technologies that were introduced into the Sacred Kang Hospital, so the Dr. Fan hoped that he could continue working in the Sacred Kang Hospital.
"It would be great if you could have such thoughts." Qin Xu said, "Two days ago, the Vice Principal of the Sheng Kang Hospital mentioned to me that he wanted to keep you here, so he asked me to pull some strings and persuade you guys. "I was afraid that you would mind that the St. Kang Hospital is a private hospital and that your reputation sounds inferior to the hospital you work for, so I hesitated to mention it to you. I didn't expect you to also have thoughts of staying, so now we can all rejoice!"
When the Dr. Fan heard that he had actually obtained the recognition of the Vice President of the Sacred Kang Hospital, he couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness. He said to Qin Xu, "I do need to thank you for connecting the two of us."
If Qin Xu had not seconded him to the Sheng Kang Hospital, he might still be at his original unit, scheming against the department head. How would he have had the time to improve his medical skills?
But Qin Xu said: "You don't have to thank me, even without me, you can still stay in Sheng Kang Hospital with your ability, I didn't help you in any way. On the contrary, I should thank you properly. "
He paused for a moment as he said this, and then continued, "You have troubled yourself with Anne's matter. If there's anything else that requires my help with living Qin’s, feel free to speak of it."
Dr. Fan chuckled on the phone. He felt that he had done nothing but his duty and that it was not worth and should not be said in return. As long as the patient was healthy and well, he was happy.
But he did not directly decline, one reason was because even if he rejected on the phone, Qin Xu, the person in control, would not agree. Secondly, if you did not mention anything about his request, as long as he did not mention anything about helping or not helping, then he would not need to care about the promise Qin Xu gave him.
Moreover, no matter what was said, the matter of his new job was something that could only be solved so easily by Qin Xu.
Because Dr. Fan got the job he wanted, his mood became even happier.
After he finished laughing, he suddenly asked casually, "Oh right, how are you preparing to propose now?"
Qin Xu was startled: "What proposal?"
"Ah …" Dr. Fan suddenly realised that he had been too relaxed, as if he had mentioned something that he shouldn't have. However, he couldn't take back what he had said, so he could only let out an awkward laugh and randomly find an excuse to say, "I'm speaking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
There was an awkward silence for a few seconds.
After a few seconds, Qin Xu slowly opened his mouth and asked: "Is my request for marriage so obvious?"
Hearing that Qin Xu had admitted to proposing to her, Dr. Fan simply replied honestly, "It's not that obvious … However, based on your previous performance, the fact that you didn't come to pick Anne up and bring him out of the hospital today is still quite obvious from this point of view. After all, you aren't the type of person to ignore Anne for other matters. "
Qin Xu was quiet for another two seconds, and then he asked: "Then... If you could guess it, Anne would also have guessed that I wanted to ask for a marriage right? "
"I don't want to lie to you …" The Dr. Fan coughed twice and said, "Actually, it was only Anne who told me about your proposal tonight that I could think of some clues."
"Alright, I understand." Qin Xu calmly hung up the phone, but in truth, his heart was beating faster after hearing Dr. Fan's answer.
He nervously thought:
When did Ye Anne guess that she was going to ask for a marriage, before or after she agreed to be present tonight?
If it was before, did her promise of marriage mean that she would agree to his proposal as well?
And if it was after that, what kind of reaction would Ye Anne have after guessing that she had proposed to her? Could it be that she didn't come to meet up with them …?
Qin Xu's heart became even more perturbed.
However, he quickly recalled the previous half month where the two of them had been naturally and intimately together … Ye Anne should like him too.
Thinking about it, Qin Xu finally calmed down a little.
After Qin Xu hung up the phone call from Dr. Fan, he waited for a bit longer. It was finally 7 o'clock in the evening.
But when he looked towards the door of the dining hall, Ye Anne had not appeared yet.
Qin Xu's heart was comforted just now, but his apprehension rose up again little by little.
But through the window, he looked at the traffic outside and thought that Ye Anne might have come late because of the traffic jam. He started to regret that he did not personally pick her up.
He took out his phone once again, wanting to call Ye Anne and ask him about the situation. However, he was afraid that he would forget that Ye Anne had misunderstood him and told him that he was in a hurry to rush her, so he did not broadcast his number.
Qin Xu ordered a cup of coffee, and continued to wait for Ye Anne while drinking. Qin Xu had already finished two cups of coffee, and the clock on his wrist had already passed another large square. It was already past eight, but Ye Anne still had not appeared in the restaurant they had agreed on earlier.
Qin Xu frowned, he could not help but call Ye Anne's number, but after the phone rang for a long time, no one answered, so the call ended.
Qin Xu's heart suddenly sank. He tried dialing again, but the other party had actually shut down the phone.
Qin Xu listened to the mechanical voice that came from his phone that was completely cold — — "Sorry, the phone you dialed was turned off" — he was holding onto his phone's fingers, almost to the point of breaking the phone's screen.
If Ye Anne had really guessed that he was going to ask for marriage tonight, then not only would she not come to date, she would also reject his call. That was to say, she planned to reject his proposal of marriage.
