Hearing Wen Qiao say this, Tang Yuanyuan became even more curious about Huo Dongqing.
"Men who are focused on their work are more attractive."
"Could you make an appointment for me, Comrade Wen Qiao? I would be very grateful, really."
Wen Qiao chuckled and said, "Okay, I can ask him for you. If he's willing to come out, you can talk. If he's not willing to come, just don't think I'm useless."
Let's be upfront about this to avoid any further trouble.
Tang Yuanyuan immediately said happily, "Okay, okay. You can try to make an appointment for me, and if it doesn't work out, that's fine too."
"There are millions of men in the world, and I refuse to believe that I can't find the one I like."
Wen Qiao smiled faintly and remained silent.
Just as she was deciding when to ask Huo Dongqing out, someone unexpectedly called her.
To Wen Qiao's surprise, apart from a few colleagues who came abroad to study with her, only Huo Dongqing and Gu Xingzhou knew about her phone number.
Hearing an elderly person's voice on the other end of the phone, Wen Qiao felt a pang of unease, as if she could already guess who it was.
"Is this Wen Qiao? It's me, Wen Zhengnian, your grandfather. Child, how have you been these past years?"
The man's voice was old, yet it carried a hint of authority.
Wen Qiao wasn't moved. Holding the phone, she said calmly, "This is Wen Qiao, but I don't have a grandfather. My father has also passed away. Don't say anything more, I won't listen. Goodbye."
Without giving the old man a chance to speak, Wen Qiao hung up the phone.
Tang Yuanyuan, who came out of the bathroom, saw Wen Qiao standing in front of the phone with a serious expression.
She immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? Who called you? Did something happen at home?"
Tang Yuanyuan knew about Wen Qiao's family situation. Seeing that Wen Qiao's expression was not good, she subconsciously felt that something must have happened to Wen Qiao's family to make her change her expression.
Wen Qiao's expression returned to normal, and she said, "It's nothing, maybe someone dialed the wrong number."
Just as Wen Qiao was about to turn and leave, she suddenly heard the phone ring again. After hesitating for a moment, she answered it herself before Tang Yuanyuan could answer it for her.
“Wen Qiao, it’s me, Huo Dongqing…”
"Excuse me, there's something I'd like to tell you in person. Is it convenient for you to come downstairs now? I'll come find you."
Wen Qiao hummed in agreement. She had a gut feeling that the old man's call to her was related to Huo Dongqing, but what Wen Qiao didn't understand was why Huo Dongqing would give her phone number to that old man.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Qiao walked downstairs on her own.
"Yuanyuan, I have to go out for a bit."
Tang Yuanyuan nodded. The voice of the person who had just called Wen Qiao sounded quite familiar, but seeing Wen Qiao's serious expression, she was afraid it was something serious.
Tang Yuanyuan didn't ask any further questions.
As soon as Wen Qiao came downstairs, she saw Huo Dongqing. Huo Dongqing's car was parked on the side, not neatly, which showed that he had come in a hurry.
The phone call I just received must have been made to her from the nearest phone booth.
Upon seeing Wen Qiao, Huo Dongqing's face showed an unconcealable sense of apology.
“Wen Qiao, I’m sorry, I only found out about this myself. He was investigating me and found out about my relationship with you. He’s my patient. Mr. Wen has some heart problems, and I’ve been his attending physician for the past two years. Maybe we’ve gotten to know each other better…”
