32: Chapter 31: I Shouldn’t Have Offended You, Right?

Tang Xi arrived at the hospital early the next day and was busy all morning.

After a quick lunch, she discussed the details of a surgery with a patient’s relative and notified Vice President Zhang.

At the nurses’ station, someone called out to her, “Doctor Tang, someone is looking for you.”

Tang Xi responded and made her way to the nurses’ station.

The delivery person looked at Tang Xi, “These are your flowers, please sign for them.”

Tang Xi was momentarily stunned by the bouquet of 99 roses; she didn’t order any flowers, did she?

The delivery person said, “These are from Mr.

Xiao.”

Xiao?

Tang Xi thought of the man she met yesterday, could it be him?

She didn’t want them, but she didn’t want to trouble the delivery person either, so she signed for them.

The nurses at the station chuckled, “Oh, Doctor Tang, got yourself a boyfriend, huh…”

Another nurse added, “Yeah, Doctor Tang, that flower shop is a celebrity hotspot and isn’t cheap at all.”

Tang Xi simply said, “If you like them, you can keep them at the nurses’ station.”

“Thank you, Doctor Tang.”

Tang Xi had not taken Xiao Chi’s gesture of sending flowers to heart at first, but to her surprise, flowers from him continued to arrive at the nurses’ station for three consecutive days.

Tang Xi frowned, and on the fourth day, she told the delivery person, “Could you please let this gentleman know that I don’t want his flowers and that he shouldn’t waste his efforts.”

“This…

I’m just taking orders, there’s nothing I can do…”

Tang Xi’s phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number; she glanced at it and answered, “Hello?”

“Did you like the flowers I sent?”

“Xiao Chi?” Tang Xi’s brow furrowed, puzzled by his antics, “How did you get my contact information?”

“Doctor Tang, are you free?

How about dinner tonight?

My car is parked at the entrance of your office hospital, waiting for you.” For Xiao Chi, getting someone’s number was a piece of cake.

Tang Xi stared at her phone, biting her lip.

A mix of helplessness and speechlessness.

Nurse Lu Qing at the station said, “Sister Tang, the guy is pursuing you, it’s just dinner…

You’re so beautiful, it’s not like you lack admirers, and I think this wealthy young master doesn’t seem too bad.”

Tang Xi was surprised, “How do you know he’s a wealthy young master?”

“Don’t you ever go online, Sister Tang?

These flowers are from Yunge Flower Art, the top celebrity flower shop in North City.

You think this small bouquet of roses is simple, but they use premium imported flowers.

The amount he has spent on flowers these past few days is already in the five digits…

Only a rich guy could afford to send such expensive flowers.”

When it was time to leave work, Tang Xi walked out of the hospital and saw a flashy red sports car parked at the entrance.

At the hospital entrance, almost everyone passing by were in taxis, carrying families of patients and such — the one or two flashy sports cars instantly attracted many gazes.

Tang Xi planned to ignore it and walked with her head down towards the high-speed train station.

Behind her, the beep-beep of a car horn—

Tang Xi’s phone vibrated.

A text message, “If you don’t get in the car, I don’t mind following you all the way.”

Tang Xi reluctantly got into Xiao Chi’s car, raising her hand to rub her temples lightly, “Young Master Xiao, I don’t think I have offended you, and we don’t really have anything to do with each other.”

Xiao Chi rested one hand on the steering wheel, looking relaxed and at ease, as he stepped on the gas pedal.

At the hospital entrance.

Fu Tingzhou paused, the man lifting his eyes to watch the departing limited edition sports car, his gaze sharp.

By his side, Xu Ze glanced at it and said, “That seems to be the Xiao’s car.”

After saying that, Xu Ze noticed a change in the atmosphere around him; the man’s displeasure was evident.

–

Tang Xi casually mentioned an address, got out of the car, and walked away without looking back.

Xiao Chi watched her graceful retreating figure and clicked his tongue twice.

How merciless, to cast someone aside after using them.

I have to say, he has actually started to take an interest in this woman…

Xiao Chi made a call to a friend, “Let’s go, time to drink.

We’re pulling an all-nighter tonight.”

Once at the bar, Xiao Chi leaned back in the booth, legs crossed, surrounded by his fair-weather friends.

He took a glass of alcohol handed to him and downed it in one go.

“What’s wrong, Young Master Xiao?

You seem to be in a bad mood.”

Another person commented, “Young Master Xiao has been chasing a female doctor recently, hasn’t he?

Did he hit a wall?

It’s rare to see someone that even Young Master Xiao can’t win over.

It’s been two weeks, hasn’t it?

Young Master Xiao still hasn’t managed to snag her?”

“All it usually takes is a flick of Young Master Xiao’s finger, and the women come flocking.

Other than Qiao Jing, who else would be so hard to handle…”

At the mention of the name Qiao Jing, Xiao Chi’s face turned sour.

The group promptly fell silent.

Someone glared at the person who had spoken, criticizing them for bringing up the one topic to avoid.

All of these friends knew better than to mention Qiao Jing in front of Xiao Chi.

Bringing her up now was simply adding fuel to the fire.

Xiao Chi kicked the coffee table with his foot, “She is indeed tough to handle, but by next week at the latest, I will have this woman in my grasp.”

His fair-weather friends erupted into a chorus of laughter.

Having smoked two cigarettes, Xiao Chi’s phone rang amidst the noisy backdrop.

He rose to find a quiet corner to take the call.

“Brother Song, what’s the deal with Young Master Xiao?

I thought Qiao Jing was the one he liked?

Why is he chasing another woman now?”

The one called Brother Song, whose full name is Song Ziling, often hung around Xiao Chi and was familiar with Xiao Chi’s affairs.

At the moment, Song Ziling said, “That…

it’s not so simple to explain in a few words.

Be cautious from now on, don’t mention Qiao Jing in front of Xiao Chi…”

Song Ziling spoke slowly.

Qiao Jing was the unattainable love of Xiao Chi’s life.

They had grown up together, but unfortunately, Qiao Jing had fallen for Cheng Yunlang.

And Cheng Yunlang was infatuated with Tang Xi.

Xiao Chi, seeking revenge on Cheng Yunlang, started pursuing Tang Xi.

His real intention was to humiliate Cheng Yunlang by winning Tang Xi over.

After hearing this, the playboy replied, “That Tang Xi is really that difficult to handle?

She must be playing hard to get.

With Young Master Xiao’s good looks and family background—why not set a trap to help him out?

Women are easy to chase; we can stage a ‘hero saves the beauty’ scenario…”

Song Ziling frowned, agreeing it was a good idea but still cautiously advised, “Just don’t go overboard.”

“Jingjing, it’s so late; is there anything urgent you needed to call me about?”

In a slightly quieter place by the window, Xiao Chi gripped his phone, his eyes and eyebrows softened with a smile.

“Sob, I just had a nightmare…

Xiao Chi, did you manage to win over Tang Xi or not…

She’s always appearing in front of Cheng Yunlang in the hospital now.

Cheng Yunlang is completely head over heels for her, he’s even planning to bring her abroad for a study program.

There are only two spots, and the other one has to be me!”

“Jingjing, don’t worry, I will definitely get Tang Xi.”

“Xiao Chi, you’re always the best to me…

that nightmare just now scared me to death…

I dreamed that Tang Xi got married to Cheng Yunlang sob sob sob….”

“Don’t be afraid, Jingjing…”

“Xiao Chi, if only Cheng Yunlang would treat me the way you do…”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chi clenched his fists and fiercely pounded the windowsill.

–

After that luxury car drove away, Tang Xi walked out of an unfamiliar residential complex.

She just wanted to shake off Xiao Chi; she wasn’t actually living there.

She boarded the nearest bus.

It was the evening rush hour, and the bus was crowded.

The delicate hand of the woman gripped the handrail; she pulled out her phone and looked at the text message from the attending nephrologist: “We have a kidney available at the Traditional Medicine Hospital this Wednesday.

If you have decided to undergo surgery, please pay the fees in advance.

If you miss this opportunity, it might be difficult to find another suitable kidney.”

Tang Xi was well aware that if this chance was missed…

Tang Jingyun might not survive long enough for another.

Right after she got off the bus, her phone buzzed non-stop.

“Are you Tang Shiyue’s older sister?

Tang Shiyue has been detained at the Second District Police Station for getting into a fight and injuring someone…”
