Chapter 75 Dating

Xia Ningxi thought Huo Jinchuan was bragging and that he was a bit arrogant.

Huo Jinchuan smiled and said, "Dr. Xia, why don't you give me a chance?"

Xia Ningxi wanted to give Huo Jinchuan a chance, but Huo Nanxiao wouldn't.

There are many bodyguards guarding Huo Yuan in the hospital every day, so Xia Ningxi can't even take Huo Yuan out of the hospital alone.

I don't know where this man in front of me got such great confidence that he could be better than Huo Nanxiao.

“It’s not that I look down on you, but just take Huo Nanxiao for example, you can’t afford to offend him, so how can you expect me to trust you?” Xia Ningxi retorted.

Huo Jinchuan pondered for a long time: "The Crown Prince of the Imperial City?"

"You don't recognize him? That shouldn't be the case." Xia Ningxi was surprised.

Anyone with even a little power in the capital city has heard of Huo Nanxiao's name. The man in front of him is no ordinary person either; he doesn't seem like someone who hasn't heard of Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Jinchuan smiled slightly: "I have indeed heard of the eldest young master of the Huo family. He's not so scary, is he? Do you have a problem with him?"

"Yes, I've been working as a private doctor for the Huo family lately, and I have a lot of complaints about Huo Nanxiao. Since you're so capable, why don't you teach him a lesson for me? If you don't dare, then don't show your face in front of me. I don't like weak men."

Xia Ningxi mocked him fiercely, hoping that Huo Jinchuan would back down.

Anyone with a modicum of self-awareness should know that Huo Nanxiao is not someone that everyone can afford to offend.

It's common for ordinary people to be ruined overnight if they offend Huo Nanxiao.

Back when he was with Huo Nanxiao, someone dared to provoke him, and as a result, his company went bankrupt in a single day, and a once-famous second-tier wealthy family was wiped out.

Not everyone can afford to mess with someone like that.

She stared at Huo Jinchuan's face, trying to see any panic in the man's expression, but to Xia Ningxi's surprise, Huo Jinchuan not only showed no fear, but also smiled and said to her, "Just teaching Huo Nanxiao a lesson?"

"What? You really dare to do that?" Xia Ningxi was surprised.

Huo Jinchuan said, "I wouldn't call it a lesson, but I can make sure he can't see you for several days."

Xia Ningxi was skeptical.

She didn't actually believe Huo Jinchuan's words, because Huo Nanxiao had been coming to the hospital several times a day these days, and would even stay at the hospital at night to keep watch. Huo Nanxiao's most important thing right now was to accompany Huo Yuan.

Does Huo Jinchuan have the ability to make Huo Nanxiao disappear from her sight?

Xia Ningxi would never believe that.

Huo Jinchuan said, "If I succeed, can you give me a chance?"

Xia Ningxi had a dark expression and didn't want to talk to him, because she could sense that the man in front of her seemed to have other intentions, but she couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.

Xia Ningxi took Huo Jinchuan's promise as a joke.

She finished her coffee and Xia Ningxi ate all the snacks. Her mood improved a bit, and she didn't intend to continue entangled with Huo Jinchuan.

"I'm going back now. Thank you for the dessert today. Don't come looking for me again. I'm very busy and don't have time to deal with you."

Xia Ningxi got up and left.

Huo Jinchuan just smiled and offered to take Xia Ningxi back to the hospital.

It was midnight, very late.

Unable to hail a taxi, Xia Ningxi simply sat in Huo Jinchuan's car.

She didn't say a word the whole way, quietly watching the scenery outside the window.

Huo Jinchuan had been observing Xia Ningxi through the rearview mirror. Seeing her indifferent expression, he asked, "Being able to serve as the Huo family's private doctor should be an honor for you in this lifetime. Why do you look so unhappy?"

"Oh."

Xia Ningxi snorted coldly and did not answer Huo Jinchuan's question.

The car drove to the hospital and parked at the main entrance.

Perhaps because Huo Jinchuan's car was too expensive, the engine was revving loudly, attracting a lot of attention even before they arrived at the hospital. After parking at the hospital entrance, even more people looked in their direction.

The gatekeeper stared in shock, his eyes wide with envy.

Xia Ningxi naturally became the focus of everyone's attention as she sat in Huo Jinchuan's car.

Huo Jinchuan was perhaps worried that not enough people were watching Xia Ningxi, so he leaned to the side and reached out to unbuckle her seatbelt.

Xia Ningxi frowned even more deeply.

This small gesture was noticed by her colleagues at the hospital.

"Isn't that Dr. Xia? Who's the man in that car?"

"My God, isn't this the person who caused trouble at the hospital a few days ago?"

"I heard he's pursuing Dr. Xia, and he drives such a nice car. It must cost at least seven or eight million, right? Where did they come from so late? Wasn't Dr. Xia supposed to be keeping watch for the Huo family's young master? Why is she out on a date with another man?"

Her colleagues were shocked; they never expected that Xia Ningxi would be with such a strange man in just a few days.

Watching Huo Jinchuan unbuckle Xia Ningxi's seatbelt from a distance, everyone thought that Huo Jinchuan was getting so close that he was going to kiss Xia Ningxi.

Everyone couldn't help but take a second look.

Xia Ningxi realized something was wrong. She angrily pushed Huo Jinchuan away and said in a low voice, "Please have some self-respect!"

Huo Jinchuan smiled but didn't say anything.

Xia Ningxi quickly got out of the car.

As she walked towards the inpatient department, she ran into a few colleagues who jokingly asked her questions.

"Dr. Xia, are you back so late because you went on a date with your boyfriend?"

"Isn't that the man who caused trouble at our hospital before? You're together with him so quickly?"

"I thought you didn't like this type."

Several colleagues laughed, their faces turning red as they said this.

Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow, knowing they were overthinking it, and explained, "We're just friends."

"Friend? Then why did he kiss you just now? We all saw it." The colleague didn't believe it.

From that angle, it would have looked like the two were kissing to outsiders, but Xia Ningxi knew very well that Huo Jinchuan had only unbuckled her seatbelt and hadn't touched her, let alone kissed her.

She tried to explain, but no one believed her. Xia Ningxi was helpless and too lazy to explain anymore, so she turned around and went back to her ward.

The door to the ward was closed, and the lights were off; Huo Yuan was probably asleep.

Xia Ningxi didn't go in to disturb them. She returned to her own lounge alone, only to find someone sitting inside—it was Huo Nanxiao.

He sat calmly in Xia Ningxi's seat, his whole body icy cold, and it was unclear where his anger came from.

Xia Ningxi, filled with questions, asked, "What is Young Master Huo doing here?"

Huo Nanxiao stared at Xia Ningxi dangerously and asked, "Where did you go tonight?"

"We went out to get something to eat, is there a problem?" Xia Ningxi asked back.

The man narrowed his eyes dangerously: "You'd better tell the truth."

Xia Ningxi didn't know where Huo Nanxiao got so angry. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the curtains in the consultation room were open, and that window had a direct view of the hospital's main entrance. Could Huo Nanxiao have seen everything that just happened?
