Chapter 48 I Like You

Xia Ningxi is very familiar with patients in a vegetative state.

She spent a year abroad researching this type of disease and knew that even with advanced medical technology, patients often cannot wake up.

She felt sorry for Huo Jinchuan and, seeing him lost in thought, assumed he was sad, so she took the initiative to comfort him: "You don't need to worry too much. If this patient is a lucky person, there is a possibility that he may wake up."

Huo Jinchuan smiled and said, "Then thank you for your kind words."

Xia Ningxi smiled slightly and continued drinking her cola.

The bar was dimly lit, and her fair and delicate face looked extremely charming under the occasional colored lights. Her beautiful big eyes were full of languor and fatigue.

Xia Ningxi was lounging lazily on the sofa, yawning from time to time, looking just like a tired little wildcat.

Huo Jinchuan glanced at her a few more times.

Xia Ningxi was a sensitive person. After noticing that Huo Jinchuan's gaze was a bit strange, she asked, "Mr. Huo, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Dr. Xia is so young, is she unmarried?" Huo Jinchuan asked curiously.

Xia Ningxi pursed her lips and slowly placed the can of cola in her hand on the table: "I'm already married."

"Really? That's surprising. I thought the doctor the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital hired at such a high price was single." Huo Jinchuan was quite surprised.

Xia Ningxi just smiled and didn't offer much explanation.

Although Huo Jinchuan saved Xia Ningxi, she felt somewhat uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of a stranger by her side. She didn't intend to linger there any longer and gave Chu Xinran a look.

Chu Xinran coughed and said, "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, I have to go back now."

“You’ve had a drink, I’ll take you home,” Xia Ningxi offered.

Everything went smoothly. After saying goodbye to Huo Jinchuan, Xia Ningxi quickly left with Chu Xinran.

Huo Jinchuan watched the two figures leave, and the gentle light in his eyes vanished in an instant after they completely disappeared into the distance.

"Is that the woman Huo Nanxiao has his eye on?" Just then, a very beautiful woman walked up to Huo Jinchuan and sat seductively on the man's lap.

Huo Jinchuan lit a cigarette and lifted the woman's chin: "I've found out."

"Yes, Huo Nanxiao suddenly terminated his cooperation with the Xia family because of a female doctor from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. I heard that the two of them had a close relationship and often spent the night together. When they came out, not only were their clothes changed, but they were also covered in hickeys." Wen Yan chuckled softly, "I never thought that the arrogant Huo Nanxiao would have this kind of taste."

"Are you sure?" Huo Jinchuan asked back.

Wen Yan said, "I'm not sure, but I know that Huo Nanxiao's favorite person is Xia Wanwan. Everyone in the capital knows that. Maybe his relationship with this little doctor is just a fling."

Huo Jinchuan remained silent. Was it just a game?

All these years, Huo Nanxiao has never had a woman by his side.

Why did he have to fall for such an inconspicuous little doctor when he could have any kind of woman he wanted?

Huo Jinchuan didn't really believe that there was no problem; he suddenly became interested.

"Find out what time she starts work," Huo Jinchuan ordered.

Wen Yan said, "She has been promoted to Huo Yuan's personal doctor, providing 24-hour care."

"Interesting." Huo Jinchuan sneered.

Wen Yan blinked her alluring eyes: "Are you interested in her?"

Huo Jinchuan didn't answer. With a lit cigarette dangling from his mouth, he lazily crushed it on the back of his hand. The next morning, he arrived at the hospital and specifically asked Xia Ningxi to treat him.

The hospital tried to provide other doctors, but to no avail. In the end, they had no choice but to let Xia Ningxi deal with this difficult patient while Huo Yuan was asleep.

"Dr. Xia, long time no see," Huo Jinchuan greeted her with a smile.

Xia Ningxi was initially a little confused, but after the other person greeted her, she vaguely remembered that she had seen this person last night. She asked, "Mr. Huo, are you feeling unwell?"

"I was injured and happened to be passing by your hospital, so I thought I'd come and ask you for help," Huo Jinchuan said.

Seeing that he was a perfectly healthy person and didn't seem sick, Xia Ningxi asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"

"My hand is injured, can you take a look?" Huo Jinchuan stretched out his hand, revealing a wound the size of a cigarette butt.

The wound has already started to scab over.

Is this guy trying to be funny?

This was the first time Xia Ningxi had encountered such a patient in all her years as a doctor. "You've caused a scene in our hospital for an hour over this tiny cigarette butt?"

"Their medical skills are not as good as yours. I believe in your medical skills." Huo Jinchuan praised her highly.

Xia Ningxi's lips twitched. They weren't familiar with each other, were they?

She was certain that Huo Jinchuan had come to cause trouble.

He applied the medicine to Huo Jinchuan with practiced skill, then bandaged him up, finishing in just one minute.

"You're cured. Go back and rest." Xia Ningxi didn't even bother to roll her eyes at him.

Huo Jinchuan asked curiously, "Why aren't you seeing patients?"

"I have patients to take care of, so I won't be seeing patients this month. If you get injured in the future, find another doctor. If you don't trust other doctors' skills, find Yang Yue'an. His medical skills are no worse than mine." Xia Ningxi packed her things.

Huo Jinchuan said, "Shall we have lunch together?"

"No need, thank you for your kindness, you can go now." Xia Ningxi saw the guest out directly.

Huo Jinchuan said, "I didn't pay the medical bills, so you should at least give me a chance to treat you to a meal, right?"

Xia Ningxi directly took out the QR code on the table: "Scan the code to pay."

"Why is Dr. Xia so cold and unapproachable?" Huo Jinchuan asked.

Xia Ningxi said with a dark face: "First of all, I am very grateful for your explanation last night. Secondly, we do not know each other. The hospital does not allow doctors and patients to have private exchanges, let alone treat each other to meals. I still need this job, so please do not make things difficult for me, Mr. Huo."

"I like you," Huo Jinchuan declared.

Xia Ningxi was stunned. She was completely bewildered and thought she had misheard. This was the first time she had ever encountered something like this.

Huo Jinchuan was very satisfied with Xia Ningxi's reaction and continued, "Dr. Xia, why don't you give her a chance?"

"I'm sorry, I'm already married," Xia Ningxi said directly.

"It's alright, I'll wait for you to get a divorce. If you don't want to see me today, I'll come again tomorrow." Huo Jinchuan smiled gently, got up and left.

Xia Ningxi watched his departing figure and cursed him as a lunatic.

She thought it was just a casual joke, but to her surprise, Huo Jinchuan came to the hospital again the next day, just like yesterday, specifically asking Xia Ningxi to treat him.

This time, Xia Ningxi simply ignored her.

Huo Jinchuan came again on the third day.

This time, they still contacted Xia Ningxi.

The hospital staff didn't pay much attention to the matter at first, but Huo Jinchuan kept coming to the hospital to cause trouble, and soon the news spread throughout the hospital.
