Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

"Dean Yu, you really are something, being so busy, you still made a special trip in person."

"Mr. Xu, you're too kind. Your daughter had the accident while she was hospitalized. Whether out of personal friendship or business, I should come and see her."

Inside the ward, Yu Zuyin and Xu Yi chatted and laughed.

They tacitly agreed that neither of them would mention Zheng Guorong again.

Just as the two were chatting, a delicate and weak voice suddenly came from the hospital bed, "Daddy..."

"Xiao Ran, I'm here! Daddy's here!"

Xu Yi immediately ran to the bedside, grabbed Xu Ran's slender little hand, and said, "Do you know you almost scared Daddy to death!"

"I'm sorry, Daddy. I shouldn't have been so eager to catch butterflies, and I shouldn't have fallen and made you worry."

"It's Daddy who should apologize; it's Daddy who didn't take good care of you."

Two lines of tears welled up in Xu Yi's strong eyes, and he hugged Xu Ran tightly, saying, "It's alright, it's all alright now."

"Now that everything's alright, why is Daddy crying?"

"Yes, Xiao Ran is right, Daddy, don't cry, don't cry."

Xu Yi wiped away his tears and smiled, "Besides, Daddy isn't crying, he's crying tears of joy."

Xu Ran blinked her bright, lively eyes. "What does 'crying with joy' mean?"

Xu Yi stood there, stunned, unsure how to explain.

Fortunately, Xu Ran was simple-minded and didn't press the matter. Instead, she said, "Daddy, I had a dream. In my dream, bad guys kidnapped me."

As she said this, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes, "I thought I would never see my daddy again, but suddenly an angel saved me."

"Yes, yes, an angel saved you."

Xu Yi gave Xia Wantang a wink, and Xia Wantang immediately understood, leading Chu Nan over.

Upon seeing Xia Wantang, Xu Ran's previously weary eyes instantly lit up with excitement. "Mom—"

Xia Wantang shook her head in alarm, and Xu Ran seemed to remember something as well, quickly changing her words to, "Sister, you're here too. You haven't come to see Ranran in a long time."

"I've been so busy with work lately, that's why I haven't been able to visit you. But I've brought an angel to save you!"

As Xia Wantang spoke, she nudged Chu Nan.

Chu Nan felt uncomfortable being called an angel, and laughed as he looked at Xu Ranqian.

He simply couldn't bring himself to speak in a high-pitched voice like Xia Wantang to a woman of similar age.

However, it must be said that Xu Ran is very beautiful, like a porcelain doll.

Her chubby little face makes you want to pinch it.

Especially her big, watery eyes, which are like clear springs.

Even a six or seven-year-old child in real life doesn't have eyes as clear as hers.

Just as Chu Nan was pondering how to greet her, Xu Ran uttered two words that nearly made him stumble and fall to the ground.

"dad!"

"Ahem—Miss Xu, what did you call me?"

Xu Ran blinked her bright, lively eyes and said, "Daddy."

Xu Yi seemed to be used to this, and said with a doting smile, "Xiao Ran, this brother is your savior, not your daddy. Your daddy is right here."

Xu Ran said firmly, "He's not an angel, he's my father!"

Chu Nan said nervously, "President Xu, I—"

Xu Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.

Then, smiling, he stroked Xu Ran's forehead and asked, "Can you tell Daddy why he calls him 'Dad'?"

"I don't have a mommy, and everyone laughs at me. My sister says I can treat her like a mom, and isn't the other half of a mommy the dad?"

When Xu Ran said these things as if it were the most natural thing in the world, Xia Wantang had already buried her head behind Chu Nan in shame.

Chu Nan looked at Xia Wantang speechlessly.

I was wondering why you were so quiet all this time, you're usually so quick-witted. Turns out you're the culprit!

Xia Wantang blushed when she saw Chu Nan staring at her. She pinched his waist hard and said, "Turn around!"

Despite the pain, Chu Nan forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. Due to certain individuals, an unnecessary misunderstanding has occurred. I'm truly sorry."

Xu Yi smiled and said, "It's alright. You saved Xiao Ran's life. To her, you are like a second parent to her. It's nothing for her to call you 'Dad'."

Then he turned to Xu Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, the angel who saved you from the bad guys is this older brother."

"Then... I'll call him Angel Daddy from now on!"

Xu Ran tilted her head. "In that case, shouldn't my older sister go from being Mom to an angel mom too?"

Xia Wantang knew that there was no point in hiding anymore now that things had come to this point, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm sorry, Uncle Xu, that's not what I actually meant."

"As you know, I've never had a mother since I was little. That day, I happened to see Xiao Ran being bullied by other children, so I told her she could treat me like her mother."

"I really didn't intend to take advantage of her, so..."

"Didn't you say you had a plan that could convince me? Show it to me."

"Oh? Okay, okay!"

Xia Wantang, who was racking her brains for an explanation, was taken aback when she heard this.

After regaining her senses, she excitedly took out the business plan for Nantang Jade Skin Powder from her bag.

The two immediately began business negotiations, leaving Chu Nan alone with Xu Ran.

But the little girl was looking at him with such an innocent expression that the word "Dad" kept popping into Chu Nan's mind.

Embarrassed, he subconsciously turned his head away to avoid looking at Yu Zuyin, but he bumped right into him.

The other person gave him a look, as if they wanted to talk outside.

After a moment's thought, Chu Nan finally followed them out.

Once in the corridor, Yu Zuyin gave Zhang Guodong a few instructions, then looked at Chu Nan and said, "Little Chu, long time no see. How are you doing at the community clinic?"

"It's alright. If it weren't for your protection back then, I wouldn't have been able to take charge of Yaotai, and I wouldn't have had the chance to meet Sister Tang."

Chu Nan was speaking from the heart; he knew that the dean also wanted to protect Zheng Guorong.

However, given the circumstances at the time, the dean could have easily dismissed him to save Zheng Guorong's face, but the dean did not do so.

Not only did he not let his eight-year medical career go to waste, but he also arranged to work as a clinician at the community hospital in Yaotai.

Whether viewed from the past or the present, this is an immense act of kindness.

Therefore, Chu Nan has always respected Yu Zuyin.

He simply didn't want to return to the Peking University Affiliated Hospital, a place that had caused him so much pain, and thus hesitated to visit and express his gratitude.

Yu Zuyin did not dwell on the topic. "I just heard from Elder Hou about your treatment of Miss Xu. It seems that your medical skills have improved even more since then, reaching a level of perfection."

"Elder Hou, you flatter me. I just happen to have read the medical records and happen to know about the Nine Yang Crossing acupoint."

Yu Zuyin laughed and said, "You don't need to be modest in front of me. I know your level better than anyone else, otherwise I wouldn't have signed you in advance back then."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly said seriously, "Peking University Affiliated Hospital needs talent like you... Come back, Xiao Chu."
