She lowered her head and pretended to look at her hands, pretending to be puzzled, and said doubtfully: "I just washed my hands, they are not dirty."
Xu Qian frowned slightly and told Zhong Baoyi, "Doctor Zhong, you're a pediatrician, and your job is to work with children. Children have delicate skin, and long nails can easily scratch a baby."
Zhong Baoyi:?
Zhong Baoyi blushed and hid her hands behind her waist in panic.
Xu Qian didn't let her go, his tone becoming even sharper and more ruthless. "Doctor Zhong, you are different from other doctors. You are the dean's daughter. You should lead by example."
Zhong Baoyi was about to cry. "I understand. I'll be more careful next time." Zhong Baoyi raised her head, staring at Xu Qian with tears in her eyes, and suddenly asked, "Is it true?"
The topic changed a little too quickly, and Xu Qian couldn't keep up with Zhong Baoyi's thoughts for a moment. He rarely showed a confused look.
Xu Qian frowned and asked, "What does Doctor Zhong mean?"
Zhong Baoyi forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying. "I saw someone in the hospital chat group spreading rumors that Dr. Xu is in a relationship and even used a photo of you and your girlfriend as their phone screen. Is this true?"
After Zhong Baoyi finished asking, she felt her thoughts were too obvious, so she added, "I think since even a pediatrician like me has heard about it, it must have spread. If it's true, it's a good thing. But if it's false, and everyone keeps spreading it around, it'll also affect Director Xu's reputation."
Zhong Baoyi was not related to Xu Qian. As a pediatrician, she came to the cardiac surgery department to ask about such a thing. What was on her mind? If Xu Qian couldn't figure it out, he would be stupid.
Xu Qian's expression froze, and he answered Zhong Baoyi seriously, "First of all, what you said is not correct."
Just as Zhong Baoyi was about to show a happy expression, she heard Xu Qian say, "The fact that I have a girlfriend is not a rumor, but a fact."
Zhong Baoyi's smile froze on her face.
Her head was buzzing, and after a while she finally heard herself ask, "Wh-when did this happen? Why haven't I heard of this before?"
Although I feel that Dr. Zhong is a bit too nosy, who is she to her?
His parents don't care about these things.
But Xu Qian still patiently explained a few more words, "We have known each other since we were very young, and we have been engaged since childhood. We will get married in three years."
After saying that, Xu Qian looked at Zhong Baoyi inexplicably and asked puzzledly: "Besides, this is my private matter, there is no need to tell outsiders."
As an outsider, Zhong Baoyi came to ask him such a question, which was overstepping the line.
Zhong Baoyi bit her lip, realizing that she had been being rude and abrupt.
Xu Qian is the most outstanding man Zhong Baoyi has ever met in her life. He is handsome and was the deputy director of cardiac surgery at the age of 23. It is impossible for Zhong Baoyi to meet a man better than Xu Qian.
Zhong Baoyi couldn't bear to miss Xu Qian like this.
Tears were glistening in her eyes, and her upper teeth were almost biting through her lower lip. Which man would not feel pity for her when seeing such a pitiful look?
But Xu Qian was a man who didn't know how to be gentle with women. He showed an impatient look and said, "Doctor Zhong, if there's nothing else, I'll leave work."
Zhong Baoyi mustered up her courage and said, "Director Xu, I like you very much."
Hearing this, Xu Qian's expression gradually turned cold, and he looked at Zhong Baoyi with a very unfriendly look.
The hostility in his eyes became increasingly obvious, even reaching the point of disgust. "Doctor Zhong, I think I've made myself clear. I have a girlfriend. Doctor Zhong, knowing full well that I have a girlfriend, yet you still insisted on confessing your feelings to me, in my opinion, this is called prying."
"Doctor Zhong, you're still young. You could definitely find a good partner and have a legitimate relationship. But don't let yourself become someone's mistress."
Xu Qian's venomous tongue was unforgiving. Just a few words from him had Dr. Zhong's cheeks turning pale with humiliation, and he was left swaying in the corridor.
Xu Qian opened the office door and went in, regardless of how sad Dr. Zhong would be.
The assistant was standing behind the desk. The hospital door had poor sound insulation, so the assistant clearly heard the conversation between Xu Qian and Zhong Baoyi outside the door.
Xu Qian suddenly opened the door and walked in, scaring the young assistant so much that he didn't dare to look up and wanted to scratch the floor with his toes in embarrassment.
Xu Qian glanced at his assistant, said nothing more, and went straight back to his office.
A moment later, Xu Qian came out of the office wearing his coat and carrying his briefcase. Passing by his assistant's desk, he suddenly stopped and said to her, "Yes, I'm no longer single."
The assistant's reaction was a little dull.
What does Director Xu want to do?
After hesitating for a moment, the assistant tentatively spoke under Xu Qian's expectant gaze, "Then...congratulations to Director Xu on successfully finding his partner. I wish Director Xu and his girlfriend a happy and loving relationship, and may they get married soon."
For the first time, Xu Qian felt that his talkative assistant had spoken some human words.
"Well, thank you for your blessing." Director Xu opened the door and left. The assistant vaguely saw that the corners of Director Xu's mouth were raised.

Han Jun and his friends took the 10 o'clock flight back to Dongcheng. When Xu Qian got off work, it was already 8:30, so it was too late for him to see them off.
Han Jun knew Xu Qian was busy with work, but she didn't care. Sitting on the plane, Han Miao asked Han Jun: "Aren't you disappointed that your Xu Gongzi didn't come to see you off?"
Han Jun: "I live in his heart, I don't need to be sent away."
Han Miao opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Wow, Han Junjun, you can say sweet words too."
Han Zheng was sitting in front of his two sisters. When he heard Han Jun's sweet words, he turned around and said to Han Jun with great sorrow, "I just disappeared for three days, and you found yourself a boyfriend. Second sister, you are so sorry for me. You betrayed the organization!"
