"I'm fine." Xu Qinghuan knew that Fu Yanshi was definitely worried about her, so she walked to Dr. Qiao's side and whispered, "If he asks you, just say that I'm doing very well! I don't want him to worry."

Qiao Xihe smiled, revealing two small dimples at the corners of her lips, making her look remarkably like a college student still in school.

“You two really are a couple, that’s what he told me too.”

"..." Xu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Is his condition very serious? Is he hiding something from me?"

Qiao Xihe patted her shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry! He'll be fine. I certainly don't want to ruin my reputation as his patient! But you need to take care of your leg too! Mr. Fu is right, you also need to take care of your health."

"I'm fine, it's just a fracture, and I had surgery."

"But I see your wounds, they seem to be infected. Did you not rest properly in your ward after the surgery and come straight here?" Qiao Xihe is a doctor, so she can't hide this kind of thing from him.

Xu Qinghuan gave an awkward smile, "I'm afraid of him..."

“I understand! But Mr. Fu is fine now, so you can focus on yourself.” Qiao Xihe walked behind her wheelchair and pushed it forward. “Come with me to the examination room, I’ll take a look at you.”

Since they've already put it this way, it would seem pretentious for Xu Qinghuan to refuse again!

So she smiled and said, "Thank you, Dr. Joe."

"You're welcome!" Qiao Xihe said to her with a wistful tone, "Honestly, when I saw you two caring for each other and considering each other's feelings, I was really touched! It turns out that love really does exist in this world!"

Xu Qinghuan turned her head slightly to look at her, "You...have never been in a relationship?"

Qiao Xihe pouted, "I'm a medical student. I'm either in the research institute or in the clinic all day long. The opposite sex around me are either my mentors or another male doctor with the same profession as me. There won't be any sparks."

"..."

"However, in my years of clinical practice, I have seen many cases of elderly couples who, in the face of life and death, valued money more than anything else."

Xu Qinghuan blinked before she could process the meaning of her words.

"Reluctant to spend money on your partner's medical treatment?"

“Yes! Some people could have been cured with just a little more money, but they chose to give up.” Qiao Xihe sighed. “That’s why I’m afraid of marriage. I think the dark side of human nature is terrifying.”

Xu Qinghuan initially wanted to say that this kind of thing was quite shocking, but then she thought about it again and realized that Xu Shide was just that kind of person.

My mother has been in the hospital for so many years, and let alone medical expenses, she has never even been visited once!

If it weren't for Fu Yanshi's appearance, she probably wouldn't have believed in anything about love or romance.

"But seeing the bond between you and Mr. Fu, and how he was willing to risk his life to protect you, I think he's a true hero!"

“Fu Yanshi… he’s actually quite foolish.” Xu Qinghuan couldn’t help but laugh when she thought about how he always looked at her with such a humble and timid demeanor despite being the president of the Fu Group.

His cautiousness was something only he himself had ever witnessed.

"You say he's stupid? Be careful, I'll tell Uncle Fu!" Qiao Xihe clearly didn't know the connection and thought Xu Qinghuan was Fu's acknowledged daughter-in-law.
