Chapter 271 What's wrong with him? Getting married so young?

An eerie silence filled the office.

After a long while, Jiang Zhicheng finally spoke.

"Hey, Xiao Huan, come to my office after you finish your rounds. I have something to tell you."

“Okay, teacher,” Xia Yuhuan replied.

Jiang Zhicheng didn't even glance at Chi Yanzhou before turning and leaving.

This is so embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.

He's already this old, and to encounter something so embarrassing like this, if word gets out, he'll be too ashamed to show his face.

As the office door clicked shut, Xia Yuhuan's hand landed on Chi Yanzhou's chest.

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Xia Yuhuan was furious.

Chi Yanzhou smiled, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.

"How did things go? Nothing much."

"At most, the teacher misunderstood me."

"Wouldn't the misunderstanding be resolved as soon as I show up?"

Xia Yuhuan rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

"Hehe, is this just a simple misunderstanding? Look how embarrassed the teacher is!"

"They're probably still questioning their existence right now."

Chi Yanzhou chuckled softly, "It's alright. Although the teacher was embarrassed, we also know how much the teacher cares about protecting you, don't we?"

Xia Yuhuan: Although what he said is true, she absolutely cannot be fooled by Chi Yanzhou like this.

"Hmph, don't think you can fool me so easily. If you dare to do this again, I won't talk to you anymore," Xia Yuhuan said.

Chi Yanzhou quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. But you can't ignore me."

Xia Yuhuan snorted and whispered in his ear, "Why were you under the table for so long? Did you find something?"

Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible; if she hadn't been right next to Chi Yanzhou's ear, he might not have heard it at all.

Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly, then shook his head.

Xia Yuhuan was getting impatient with him. She glared at him and whispered, "Why are you nodding and shaking your head? Have you found anything? Tell me!"

Chi Yanzhou said, "Don't worry, there are no listening devices in your office right now."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan immediately stopped and looked at him in surprise: "No? Could it be that I misunderstood Zhou Shizui?"

“No, your suspicion is correct,” Chi Yanzhou said.

Xia Yuhuan said incredulously, "But didn't you say there were no listening devices in my office? How come my suspicions were correct?"

"Because there was something under your desk originally, but it was removed."

Chi Yanzhou said in a deep voice, "This Zhou Shizui reacts very quickly. He is far more cautious than you think."

"It must have been when you were talking together when you left the hospital yesterday that aroused his suspicion, which is why he had to dismantle the things at the last minute."

Xia Yuhuan felt a pang of sadness.

"So I alerted the enemy?"

She was extremely sensitive to being spied on, so she was always on guard against Zhou Shizui.

She really didn't expect that Zhou Shizui would suspect her because of this and take the things away.

Logically speaking, she has always treated Zhou Shizui this way, so Zhou Shizui shouldn't doubt her.

Could it be that, like her, one has such a keen sense of perception that one noticed it immediately?

"Don't overthink it. The fact that he installed the things and then took them away means he doesn't want to be exposed."

“Since he doesn’t want to be exposed, he’ll contact you sooner or later. As long as you stay vigilant, he won’t get away,” Chi Yanzhou comforted her.

Xia Yuhuan could only nod reluctantly upon hearing this, which was considered an acceptance of the statement.

Chi Yanzhou said, "Since there's no movement here, I'll be leaving now. I'll go check on Grandma Wang, and then I'll get back to work."

“Okay, I’ll go with you to the ward,” Xia Yuhuan said.

The two went to visit Wang Aiping in the ward together.

Wang Aiping was very happy to see the two of them. She talked to them for a while before letting them leave.

Xia Yuhuan saw Chi Yanzhou off at the hospital, turned around, and went upstairs, where she happened to run into Zhou Shizui.

"Director Xia," Zhou Shizui greeted her.

Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Hello, Dr. Zhou."

"Director Xia, are you just finished with your work and are you getting ready to go back to your office?" Zhou Shizui asked.

Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly: "Yes, I just saw my partner off and I'm heading back to my office now. Did Dr. Zhou just finish his work too?"

Zhou Shizui: "Yes, I just finished. Director Xia and her partner seem to have a very good relationship. They must be dating freely, right?"

Xia Yuhuan said, "No, our marriage was arranged. We were just lucky. After we got married, we found that we were both pretty good and each other's type, so we gradually developed feelings for each other."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shizui suddenly realized and said, "I see."

"It's rare to find such a good relationship between you two from an arranged marriage."

How long have you been married?

Zhou Shi asked casually, and Xia Yuhuan answered casually in return.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious this week that they've got their eyes on her, so even if she tries to run away, it won't make a difference.

The key is to understand the other party's purpose.

So after Xia Yuhuan answered, she asked him in return, "Dr. Zhou is such a talented young man, he must be married by now, right?"

Zhou Shizui: "Not yet, I'm single."

Xia Yuhuan let out an exaggerated "Ah!"

She felt it was so fake that even she couldn't stand it.

So, he suppressed his exaggerated expression and coughed awkwardly.

She said, "I'm sorry, I was just too surprised. I really didn't expect Dr. Zhou to be unmarried."

"Dr. Zhou is such an outstanding young talent, how come those elders were willing to let you off the hook and didn't urge you to get married at such a young age?"

Zhou Shizui chuckled softly upon hearing this.

"They do urge me, but I'm not interested in early marriage, so they can't force me to get married."

Xia Yuhuan responded with an "oh" upon hearing this.

"And what about you, Director Xia? You're so beautiful, and your medical skills are so good. You're so talented and beautiful, why did you choose to get married so young?"

"Wouldn't it be better to get married later and enjoy a couple more years of freedom?" Zhou Shizui retorted.

Xia Yuhuan pondered: If she had to choose when she first transmigrated into the book, she would definitely choose not to get married and live a free and independent life.

But since she transmigrated into this world only to find herself facing the mess left behind by the original owner, she had no choice but to follow the original plot and get married.

However, now she is glad that she made the choice to marry Chi Yanzhou.

Zhang Xianya and Chi Shaokang gave her the warmth of home, and after Chi Yanzhou woke up, he also let her taste the flavor of love.

Perhaps everything is preordained, and Heaven has already arranged everything.

So everything is for the best.

Xia Yuhuan was about to reply when she saw Zhou Shizui waiting for her answer with unusual seriousness.

It was as if her answer would influence his attitude.

This surprised Xia Yuhuan, but at the same time, a sudden inspiration struck her.

The next moment, Xia Yuhuan spoke.
