Chapter 595 Extra - My Sister's Knight
The taxi was moving very fast, and in the blink of an eye it turned the corner onto the main road and merged into the traffic. Chen Ci didn't even have time to remember the license plate number.
A moment later, the woman also came out: "What's going on? You're not trying to skip out on the bill, are you?"
Chen Ci glanced at her but didn't explain: "You can go back now, I'll pay for the bill."
The woman smiled proudly: "That bouquet of roses must have been prepared for me, right? Then I'll take it."
She took out her phone: "I'll leave you my contact information so you can reach me anytime."
"No need," Chen Ci refused. "You can take the roses if you want, but there's no need for us to continue our contact."
"What do you mean?" The woman's expression changed. "It's already an honor for you that I've taken a liking to you!"
"I'm sorry, you should leave that honor to someone else."
Chen Ci turned to leave, but she stopped him again: "I was the one who dumped you!"
"Sure, say whatever you want."
The woman raised an eyebrow and said, "If your brother hadn't asked someone to beg me, I wouldn't have come all this way. The men who want to go on a blind date with me could line up all the way to France!"
Chen Ci really didn't have the patience to argue with her.
"Madam, I only have one thing to remind you: cosmetic surgery is risky, so please be careful. What attracts others is one's own qualities and character. Those who rely on their looks to please others will lose their appeal when their looks fade."
The woman didn't quite understand what he was saying, nor did she care to grasp its meaning. She simply snorted softly, "No taste."
Then she left, looking very graceful.
Chen Ci shook his head slightly, paid the bill, and left the coffee shop.
Looking back now, he probably missed her so much that he had hallucinations.
How could she possibly be in Qingdao?
If she were in Qing City, how could she not go looking for him?
With just a similar profile, memories of Shu Tong began to flood Chen Ci's mind like waves.
Those memories filled every crevice of his mind, leaving his heart in turmoil.
In the taxi, he took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Chu: "Brother, blind date mission successfully completed. Thank you for letting me know that there are many, many gentle and wonderful girls with different personalities in this world."
Unfortunately, none of them are her.
Chen Chu, who was driving, handed his phone to Jian Yan: "Was that a message from Aci? What did it say?"
Jian Yan read Chen Ci's words to him, and upon hearing this, Chen Chu smiled: "See, my trick still works."
Jian Yan shrugged slightly.
Let's hope so.
Although she had a vague sense of foreboding.
If Chen Ci were so easy to understand, he wouldn't have always relied on escapism to solve problems.
...
At the hospital.
When Fang Tong brought the small cake into the ward, Fang Miao was playing with a jigsaw puzzle. Upon seeing her serious little face, she immediately smiled.
"Sister, you're finally here! I've missed you so much."
Fang Tong quickly went over and hugged him: "Sister missed you too."
Fang Tong placed small cakes and other items on the table and stood by the hospital bed watching Fang Miao's jigsaw puzzle.
Snow White?
"No," Fang Miao said with a smile, "It's Beauty and the Beast!"
Fang Tong: "Okay, it's because I'm ignorant."
“Don’t blame your sister, all foreign princesses look the same.” Fang Miao picked up a puzzle piece from the scattered pieces on the table: “Look, this is a monster, not the seven dwarfs.”
Fang Tong nodded: "Understood."
Fang Miao put the puzzle aside, looked up at Fang Tong, and said earnestly.
"Sister, look, every princess has a knight protecting her. You are a princess too, and you need a knight as well."
Fang Tong pinched his cute little face: "Aren't you my knight?"
“I’m different,” Fang Miao explained earnestly. “When I grow up, I’ll become my girlfriend’s knight, and then you won’t have a knight anymore.”
Fang Tong was amused by him: "It's okay, I can be my own knight then."
Fang Miao sighed like a little adult, put her hands on her hips, and said, "How can I not explain it to you? What I mean is that you need to find a boyfriend."
Fang Tong laughed uncontrollably: "You think you can just find a boyfriend like that? You can't rush it, it depends on fate."
Fang Miao blinked: "Sister, your destiny has arrived! It's the doctor who treated me. He's really handsome and a really nice person. He's a perfect match for you."
Fang Tong: "..."
So that's what they were waiting for.
She simply placed the small cakes and cheese buns on the small table: "Now, does any child want to eat some sweet cake first?"
"Me, me, me." Fang Miao was still a child after all: "I'll eat, I'll eat."
Fang Tong opened the packaging of the small dessert, handed him the spoon, and then went to get the milk tea: "You can only drink the milk tea once. Kids shouldn't drink too much of this."
"I don't want the milk tea," Fang Miao said while stuffing cake into her mouth. "The milk tea wasn't for me."
"Um?"
Fang Miao swallowed the cake in her mouth before smiling and saying, "I bought the milk tea for the doctor. I specifically asked the nurses, and they said the doctor only drinks taro boba milk tea."
Fang Tong: "..."
She was becoming increasingly interested in meeting this so-called expert.
He's surprisingly popular with Fang Miao...
However, she happened to run into Dr. Lin downstairs just now, who was on his way home from get off work, and casually asked him about it. Dr. Lin said that the specialist wouldn't be coming over tonight.
What a coincidence!
But I should be able to see him tomorrow morning.
Because she was going on a business trip out of town over the weekend, she had two days off, so she could stay at the hospital for the next two days.
Of course, if there's work to be done, you still have to be available whenever needed.
That night, Fang Miao held her milk tea and waited for her doctor brother. Even though Fang Tong had told her that he wouldn't be there that night, Fang Miao still didn't give up.
In the end, she even fell asleep while holding her milk tea.
Fang Tong felt a pang of sadness looking at his somewhat haggard sleeping face.
Even though he was always positive and tried to cheer her up despite his physical discomfort, she, as an adult, could naturally tell that an eight-year-old was forcing a smile.
While heartbroken, she also had a strong desire.
Even if it means going bankrupt, as long as we can snatch Fang Miao back from the clutches of illness, that's all that matters.
Therefore, whether that so-called expert is real or fake, she is willing to try as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
...
The next morning, after taking care of Fang Miao's washing up, Fang Tong asked him what breakfast he wanted and then went out to buy it.
What a coincidence.
She had barely stepped out the door when Chen Ci and his team came to check on her.
Fang Miao's test results were partially available. Chen Ci looked through the report while discussing the situation with Dr. Lin and the others.
His gaze inadvertently drifted forward and he saw a figure flash by at the corner of the corridor.
The sleek light-colored suit and high heels, however, suddenly stirred something within him.
A bitter feeling spread from his chest, and his brows furrowed slightly.
