However, when he thought about the purpose of his visit, even though he was usually thick-skinned, Old Zhong found it difficult to speak.
Ye Weiwei yawned. "Are you alright? If you're fine, I'm going back to rest."
After speaking, Ye Weiwei looked at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao immediately stood up. "I'll take you back."
Fortunately, he had cleaned the house a couple of days ago, and it came in handy so soon.
Seeing Ye Weiwei's bloodshot eyes and dark circles, Old Zhong said guiltily, "There are still a few people who want you to help... but don't worry, this time there will definitely not be a situation like what happened to the Yao family."
Ye Weiwei frowned. "Is it Yao Qingchuan's team? Those people haven't had their surgery yet?"
Dr. Zhong sighed, "Two surgeries weren't very successful. I'd like you to go and take a look, see if you can salvage them."
Although those people weren't as badly injured as Yao Qingchuan when they were brought in, their post-operative results were much better. He knew this was because Ye Weiwei's medical skills were superior to those of the hospital's doctors, so he wanted Ye Weiwei to treat them again.
Although that squad had always been outmatched by Qin Xiao's squad, every soldier in it was an elite unit painstakingly trained by the military. Losing almost an entire squad was simply too much for them to bear.
Ye Weiwei understood. "Alright, let's go take a look first. But let me make this clear: if we encounter any more unreasonable people, I won't be polite. You know, I don't have a very good temper."
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Old Zhong's smile deepened. "I know, I know, I won't make things difficult for you."
He had already risked his reputation for Yao Qingchuan once, and it still turned out like this. There was no point in maintaining any more goodwill between them.
Ye Weiwei, Qin Xiao, and Elder Zhong went to the inpatient department to examine the two people Elder Zhong had mentioned and check their conditions.
"If I were to perform the second surgery, I'd be about 80% confident."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Zhong was overjoyed: "When can we perform the surgery on them?"
If he could, he really wanted Ye Weiwei to perform the surgery on them right now, but he also knew that Ye Weiwei had just finished surgery and needed to rest.
Ye Weiwei: "They just had surgery, so they can't go back into the operating room right away. Maybe in three days."
Mr. Zhong readily agreed, saying, "Alright, I'll leave the time to you."
After arranging the surgery times for the two, Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao returned to their residence to rest.
The houses assigned to them by the military were located in the family quarters less than 200 meters from the military compound. This family quarters consisted of both apartment buildings and bungalows.
Qin Xiao's house was a single-story building located near the east wall of the courtyard.
"I applied late, and there are no more high-rise buildings left in this area, only single-story houses."
Qin Xiao pushed open the door and said to Ye Weiwei with some guilt.
Ye Weiwei glanced at the three large brick houses with two courtyards, then looked at the two-room building upstairs, and laughed, "I don't like living in multi-story buildings. Houses like this with courtyards are great. I can grow vegetables in both the front and back yards, and it's spacious to live in."
Seeing that Ye Weiwei's face showed no sign of reluctance, Qin Xiao felt a little relieved. He had also thought of his wife's words that she liked beautiful big houses, which was why he hadn't exchanged with someone for an apartment upstairs. After all, each apartment in those buildings only had two rooms, which was indeed not as spacious as these three large brick houses.
"Commander Qin, who is this?"
Just as Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao were about to push the door open and go in, a timid voice suddenly sounded behind them.
Ye Weiwei turned around and saw a woman wearing a red floral top and navy blue pants looking at them. Her fox-like eyes were charming and alluring.
Ye Weiwei raised her eyebrows subtly, then looked at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Miss, may I ask who you are? Do you need something from me?"
Xia Zhaodi trembled at Qin Xiao's cold face, but when she thought of Qin Xiao's status and position, and his face, she mustered her courage again. She blinked her eyes twice, and they became moist, making her look as pitiful as a wronged little rabbit.
She gently bit her lip and then let go, looking at Qin Xiao with a timid yet somewhat admiring gaze. "Commander Qin, I'm the niece of Political Commissar Liu upstairs. We met at Political Commissar Liu's house last time."
After speaking, she looked Ye Weiwei up and down. When she saw Ye Weiwei's fitted and well-tailored clothes and the wedge-heeled lambskin ankle boots she was wearing, a flash of jealousy crossed her eyes.
She greeted Ye Weiwei warmly: "You must be Commander Qin's sister, right? No wonder you're from the same family, you're both so beautiful."
Ye Weiwei smiled, a smile that held a deeper meaning, her voice languid yet mischievous, "Thank you for the compliment! I am indeed a member of Commander Qin's family."
After saying that, she took Qin Xiao's arm and raised her chin, silencing Xia Zhaodi's attempt to get closer to her, "However, I am not his sister, but his lover."
"What? Qing... Sister Qing... you..."
Seeing Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao being so affectionate, Xia Zhaodi's eyes turned red with jealousy. "Even if you are his boyfriend, how can you two be so shameless as to be pulling and tugging at each other in broad daylight! It's really outrageous!"
Ye Weiwei looked at Xia Zhaodi with a half-smile, "Oh, you're already feeling uncomfortable just from linking arms? What if I told you that he and I are an old married couple with three kids, would you just explode on the spot?"
Xia Zhaodi's face turned pale. "How is this possible! Stop lying to me! Shameless!"
Qin Xiao looked at Xia Zhaodi with displeasure, "Miss, please speak more politely to my wife! Also, my marriage with my wife is protected by national law. Breaking up a military marriage is illegal. Please stop having any unrealistic fantasies and don't appear in front of us again to disturb our lives!"
Xia Zhaodi was so intimidated by Qin Xiao's imposing aura that she couldn't help but take several steps back. She remained stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
"Zhao Di! Xia Zhao Di! Where have you been? Xia Zhao Di! Get back here right now!"
Hearing someone calling her name, Xia Zhaodi finally snapped out of her daze, responded, and hurriedly ran away.
Ye Weiwei looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old woman standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, peeking in their direction. When she noticed Ye Weiwei looking over, she quickly pulled her head back.
Ye Weiwei made a mental note of the person, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to make a move on her man!
Feeling angry, Ye Weiwei pushed open the door and entered the yard, then slammed the door shut without paying any attention to Qin Xiao behind her. Fortunately, Qin Xiao reacted quickly enough and almost bumped into his nose.
Touching his nose, which had escaped unscathed, Qin Xiao was annoyed. What kind of mess was this?!
"Wife, I'm innocent!"
