Qi Wei added, "Miss Xia, you can rest assured. I will have other people come over to observe. If Mr. Nangong is indeed ill, we will provide him with timely treatment."
“I understand.” Feng Guang nodded. She didn’t know whether Nangong Zhe’s behavior just now was acting or a genuine reaction. If it was acting, then he had acted too successfully. If it wasn’t acting… then what was he trying to tell her?
Qi Wei returned to his office in high spirits. He also called several doctors to observe Nangong Zhe's condition. The doctors there reported that Nangong Zhe was not seriously injured.
Qi Wei placed a glass of water on the table in front of Feng Guang and said gently, "Miss Xia, you can rest assured now."
"Hmm..." Her hand rested unconsciously on the cup, but she quickly cried out that it was too hot and removed her hand.
Qi Wei noticed that her hand was red from the heat, so he paused before apologizing, "I'm sorry, I thought it was cold water."
"It's okay... I just wasn't paying attention."
"Maybe someone brought hot water to my office and changed the cold water." Qi Wei quickly rummaged through the drawer and found some burn ointment. He walked over and said apologetically, "Let me apply the ointment for you."
“Okay…” Feng Guang glanced at his hand, which was also red from the burn, his eyes flickered, and he didn’t ask any more questions.
Qi Wei held her hand and applied the cool white ointment to it. He lowered his eyes and said, "I'm so sorry that Miss Xia's beautiful hand got injured."
"It's really nothing." He apologized once, which was fine, but if he apologized too many times, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "It's just a small problem, Dr. Qi, you don't need to take it to heart."
Qi Wei was already applying gauze to her hand when Feng Guang was taken aback. "Dr. Qi, it's just a minor burn... Do you have to treat it like some major wound, being so serious?"
It's true that she's afraid of pain; she's had her share of injuries from playing around as a child. Besides, this really is just a minor injury that will heal in a day or two. He's treating it way too seriously.
Qi Wei looked up and smiled, "There's no harm in doing this, is there?"
No... that would make you seem overly meticulous.
Feng Guang wasn't sure if this was an occupational hazard for a doctor or if he had some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. She awkwardly withdrew her hand, smiled apologetically, and said, "Thank you so much."
"It's what I should do." Qi Wei packed up the medical equipment before sitting back down opposite Feng Guang.
Luckily, there was a desk between them, otherwise Feng Guang really wouldn't know where to put her hands.
He smiled and asked in a friendly manner, "Miss Xia, are you very concerned about Nangong Zhe?"
“How could I possibly care about him!” She became agitated at the mention of it. “If it weren’t for breaking off our engagement, I wouldn’t have come here.”
“Mr. Nangong is different from ordinary people after all. Even if Miss Xia wants to break off the engagement, it is a very normal thing. There is no need to come to Diamond Island.”
"Isn't it the Nangong family that said they need Nangong Zhe's consent?" She curled her lip. "The Nangong family is just thinking that if their son has a hard time, they won't let me have a hard time either. Tell me, if you were a parent, wouldn't you take the initiative to break off the engagement after discovering that your son has a difficult-to-cure illness?"
"I can't answer that." Qi Wei's eyes curved slightly, revealing a warm smile. "As an outsider, my opinion is that Miss Xia would be better off breaking off her engagement with Mr. Nangong. His illness makes him unsuitable for starting a family."
