Lin Qingran sat next to Old Madam Gu, watching Gu Moxuan's departing figure, her heart involuntarily clenching.

He carried Lin Xiaoruo away, ignoring the old lady Gu who was so angry she was about to faint.

Nestled in Gu Moxuan's arms, Lin Xiaoruo heard him say such things to protect her, and her hand covering her face twitched slightly.

Her crying gradually stopped, and she leaned against Gu Moxuan's chest.

His chest was strong and powerful, yet it didn't give her any sense of security.

You should know that everything Gu Moxuan has now was given to him by the Gu family.

If Gu Moxuan offends the Gu family, with a single order from Old Madam Gu, Gu Moxuan could very well lose his inheritance rights.

She was quickly calculating in her mind, and her anxiety was growing.

"Mo Xuan, how can you talk to your grandmother like that?"

"You'd better go back and apologize to your grandma. You're her grandson, she'll definitely forgive you."

Lin Xiaoruo looked at Gu Moxuan and struggled to get out of his arms.

Gu Moxuan then released his grip, letting her get down.

"If you can walk on your own, then walk."

Gu Moxuan ignored Lin Xiaoruo's advice and stepped into the elevator.

......

Lin Qingran withdrew her gaze, followed the back of Old Madam Gu, and seeing that Old Madam Gu was furious, she quickly spoke softly.

"Grandma, don't be angry. Getting angry will harm your health."

As she spoke, she began to rummage through Grandma Gu's pocket for the medicines she carried with her.

"Take him to...the hospital."

Grandma Gu was breathing heavily, clearly suffering from an asthma attack.

Lin Qingran frowned, but without hesitation, she immediately squatted down in front of Old Madam Gu and carried her on her back.

"I'll take you to the hospital right away, Grandma. Don't be angry, right away."

Her body was petite, but at this moment she unleashed astonishing power.

If something happens to Old Madam Gu here, neither she nor Gu Moxuan can escape responsibility.

Gu Moxuan might even become a sinner against the Gu family because of this.

Her ankle injury hadn't fully healed, so to make it easier to walk, she took off her high heels and walked barefoot on the ground.

It's alright inside the elevator, but when you leave the building, you have to walk across a stone path covered with small pebbles.

Every step she took was excruciatingly painful.

The community security guards quickly noticed the abnormality and immediately came to help Lin Qingran.

After some twists and turns, Mrs. Gu was sent to the hospital.

Lin Qingran stayed by Grandma Gu's bedside, looking somewhat disheveled. Seeing that Grandma Gu was alright, she was about to call the Gu family when she remembered that she had left her bag at Lin Xiaoruo's place.

After the young doctor put an oxygen mask on Grandma Gu, he saw Lin Qingran standing barefoot on the ground.

There was some blood on the clean floor.

Ignoring her own foot injury, she quickly asked what was wrong.

"Is my grandma alright?"

The young doctor shook his head and said calmly.

"The old man is fine, but your foot is injured. Come to my office and I'll bandage it for you."

Lin Qingran paused for a moment upon hearing this.

Looking down, I saw that my footprints were covered in blood.

It was probably caused by stepping on the stone path when I came here.

"I'm fine, I can clean myself up in a bit."

Lin Qingran noticed some black stains on the back of her feet and felt a little embarrassed to have the doctor clean them for her.

Her gaze was fixed on Old Mrs. Gu, and seeing that Old Mrs. Gu's breathing gradually became steady, she felt relieved.

Gu Moxuan didn't know which hospital he took Lin Xiaoruo to.

A series of things happened at once, giving her a headache.

Grandma Gu is so straightforward, so naturally she couldn't stand Lin Xiaoruo.

Lin Xiaoruo's return to China this time probably indicates that she has made up her mind to be with Gu Moxuan.

Grandma Gu is getting on in years, and it's hard to say how many more times she can withstand such stimulation.

"There are so many patients in the hospital. You're already infected with a lot of bacteria by walking barefoot on the ground. If you get infected with other viruses in the hospital, you might as well give up your legs."

Lin Qingran was stunned for a moment.

Grandma Gu slowly opened her eyes and just in time to hear what the doctor said, so she said weakly.

"Qingran, go and bandage yourself quickly. If something happens to you, Grandma will be heartbroken."

The young doctor looked at Lin Qingran and said calmly.

"Since your grandma has said so, you should come with me."

The young doctor was much taller than Lin Qingran. As he walked past Lin Qingran, a refreshing scent of mint wafted by.

"Grandma, you rest for a while, I'll be right there."

Grandma Gu nodded, weakly raised her hand, and waved.

Lin Qingran then followed the doctor to his office.

When Lin Qingran arrived at his office, she saw the nameplate on the door.

Department of Respiratory Medicine – Nie Yuan.

Lin Qingran followed him into the office, where he took out a brand new pair of disposable gloves, put them on, and pushed a movable chair in front of Lin Qingran.

"sit."

Perhaps out of instinct, the patient followed the doctor's instructions, and Lin Qingran slowly sat down.

Seeing her looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy, Nie Yuan chuckled softly.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not going to eat people."

His smile was clean and cheerful, and as he spoke, he gestured for Lin Qingran to lift her foot.

Lin Qingran sat upright in her chair, watching the disinfectant in his hand warily.

"Does it hurt?"

Seeing her aloof expression yet her fear of pain, Nie Yuan couldn't help but be amused by this adorable contrast.

When he smiles, he reveals two small tiger teeth, making him look exceptionally sunny.

"Would you like to know if you try it?"

Lin Qingran shrank back, and could see that he was watching her with amusement. She took a deep breath and lifted her foot.

Nie Yuan sat in his swivel office chair, slid the wheels to her side, and lifted her feet off the stool, placing them on her lap.

Lin Qingran had never been so intimate with any other man besides Gu Moxuan, and she looked somewhat resistant.

Nie Yuan noticed her resistance and said calmly.

"It hurts a little, I'm afraid you'll struggle."

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, but before she could speak, a sharp pain shot through the soles of her feet.

"hiss."

She gasped and instinctively pulled her feet back.

Nie Yuan grabbed her slender leg.

"See? I knew you'd struggle."

Lin Qingran remained silent.

Then a cool sensation came over her; it turned out he was blowing air onto her feet.

"This can relieve the pain."

As he spoke, he began pouring disinfectant again.

Lin Qingran gripped the seat painfully, but did not continue to struggle.

"Did you carry your grandma here? There are a few small stones stuck in the soles of your feet. I need to help you remove them. It might hurt a little, so please don't cry."

Lin Qingran pursed her lips, looked at the gentle doctor in front of her, and spoke softly.

Do I look like someone who would cry?

Nie Yuan nodded seriously.

Although she looked aloof and fearless, he had clearly noticed her nervousness earlier.

"Judging from his appearance, he must be quite good at crying."

Lin Qingran remained silent.

Nie Yuan cleaned Lin Qingran's wound, then bandaged it with gauze, and finally tied a pretty bow.

He was like a gentle big boy, every move he made was exceptionally gentle.

Lin Qingran awkwardly withdrew her foot and asked in a silent voice.

"how much is it?"

Nie Yuan waved his hand generously, "No money required, I'll let you use my medical skills for free this once."

Lin Qingran stopped abruptly.

Are all younger doctors as outspoken as him?
