Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

When the two arrived at the hospital, before they even entered the ward, they heard Xia Wantang's voice coming from inside.

"I've already told you I'm fine, the bullet didn't hit any bones, can't you let me be discharged?"

When Chu Nan pushed open the door, Xia Wantang was sitting on the hospital bed, bargaining with the nurse.

When she saw Chu Nan, her eyes lit up instantly. "My little cutie, you're finally here! If you hadn't come, I would have been stuck here and getting moldy."

Xia Wantang opened her arms, making no attempt to hide her desire for a hug. The pallor on her face, a result of blood loss, had not completely faded, but she had already regained most of her energy.

Seeing that Chu Nan wasn't coming over, she went over and grabbed Chu Nan's wrist. "Look, my injury is almost completely healed."

"Your family's herbal powder is amazing! The doctor said that at this rate, I can be discharged in two more days, and you said it wouldn't leave a scar, right?"

Chu Nan gave him a reassuring look, "Don't worry, it won't leave a scar."

"That's good. My sister relies on this leg to make a living. If it leaves a scar, you'll be responsible for it for the rest of your life."

"Ahem!"

Jiang Yingxue, who was standing at the door, finally couldn't stand it anymore and coughed softly.

Xia Wantang seemed to have just noticed her, and released her hand from Chu Nan's wrist, but there was no embarrassment on her face.

"Oh, Miss Jiang is here too. How rare! Why did you come to see me in person today?"

"I was just passing by."

Jiang Yingxue's tone returned to its usual indifference, "After all, you went to the police station to save Chu Nan. If I don't come to see you, it would seem like I'm heartless."

"On the way? From Yaotai Residential Area to the Central Hospital, that's a really long way to say 'on the way'."

Xia Wantang looked at her with a smile, then suddenly changed the subject, "But speaking of which, it was I who dragged my little cutie into this."

"That madman Xue Beichen came after me, and I almost got him caught up in it too. But according to our agreement, shouldn't my little cutie move in with me?"

Jiang Yingxue raised an eyebrow slightly. "Chu Nan's injuries have healed; he doesn't need anyone to take care of him."

"He's better now, but I'm injured again."

Xia Wantang pointed to the bandage on her leg and said matter-of-factly, "Besides, we agreed last time that it would be one day each. Now that I'm in the hospital, it's not unreasonable for me to take your half for a few more days, is it?"

"One person a day is for taking care of him, not for taking care of you."

"It's the same. He takes care of me, which means he's with me. And being with me means I'm taking care of him, right?"

"Think about it, he never takes his own affairs seriously. I let him stay at my place, cook for him every day, and remind him to change his dressings. Isn't that taking care of him?"

Jiang Yingxue took a deep breath.

She realized that trying to reason with Xia Wantang was inherently unreasonable.

This woman can twist all logic to her advantage, and she does so with such confidence and without batting an eye.

"President Xia, your company is waiting for you to return and take charge. Are you sure you have time to take care of him?"

"Nothing in the company is as important as my little cutie."

"You just said you were injured and needed Chu Nan to take care of you, but now it's you taking care of him?"

"Wouldn't it make me seem more compassionate and devoted if I took care of someone who was injured?"

Jiang Yingxue opened her mouth.

She found herself speechless for the third time today, stumped by Xia Wantang's bizarre logic.

This woman's thick skin and her business acumen are both gifts from God.

Other people's faces are like paper, but hers are like a corner of a city wall, and the kind covered with several layers of glutinous rice paste.

Chu Nan stood by the hospital bed, watching the two women go back and forth. He felt that if he didn't speak up soon, this conversation might continue until the nurse came to kick them out.

"Um... I have an idea."

Both women looked at him at the same time.

"I'm planning to buy a house."

This idea wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thought; he had considered it after Jiang Mingxuan's men damaged the clinic's door, but a series of subsequent events left him no time to ponder it.

Now that the lotus has bloomed and the restrictions on his virginity have been lifted, he needs a decent place to live.

I can't keep living on that old bed in the clinic, waiting for someone to come and bang on the door again someday.

"Buy a house?"

Xia Wantang's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll help you with your advice. I'm familiar with the real estate market in Beihai, and I even have friends with some of the developers."

"I'll go too."

Jiang Yingxue said, her tone still calm, but she spoke a few minutes faster than usual.

Chu Nan glanced at Xia Wantang, then at Jiang Yingxue.

"You two... going together?"

"What, afraid we'll fight?"

Xia Wantang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm in a good mood today and I won't argue with your Xue-jie."

"It's Sister Xue, not Sister Xue!"

Jiang Yingxue's face was cold, but her ears turned red.

"But your blushing seems to suggest that you prefer the nickname 'Sister Xue'."

"I'm not blushing."

"Your ears are practically burning up, and you're still not blushing."

Chu Nan decided to steer the conversation back on track before the two of them started arguing again.

"Let's go together then, but I need to pay the rent first. I've been behind for too long, and the landlord probably wants to skin me alive."

He took out his phone, walked outside the ward, and dialed the landlord's number.

"Oh, isn't this Dr. Chu? You even know how to make a phone call now."

The landlord's voice came through the receiver, carrying a pent-up resentment: "I thought you'd been hacked to death by your enemies in some corner."

Chu Nanqian chuckled.

He did indeed procrastinate for too long. Before, he didn't have money, and recently, he's been so busy that he completely forgot he had a place to rent.

"Brother Liu, I'm so sorry, I've been really busy lately and forgot."

"Forgot? Do you know how many times I've called? Your door is locked, your things aren't moved out, and you're not paying rent. I don't even know if you've decided not to rent anymore or what. If you don't contact me soon, I'm going to call someone to clear your things out."

"Here's what we'll do: I'll pay you double the rent. Calculate how much you owed before, and I'll give you double as a 'tea money' fee, okay?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

When Brother Liu's voice came again, most of his resentment had subsided, replaced by the shrewdness of a businessman: "You should have said so earlier. I would have accepted double the price, and just give me an extra month. Do you still want those things? I'll send them over to you."

"No need, just get rid of the rest for me."

After hanging up the phone, when Chu Nan returned to the ward, Jiang Yingxue had already helped Xia Wantang complete the discharge procedures.

Xia Wantang sat in a wheelchair with a thin blanket covering her legs, looking just like a patient who needed care.

Her assistant pushed the wheelchair, and Jiang Yingxue stood beside her, maintaining a distance of about one meter between them.

The assistant, who had probably rushed over from the company, tactfully released the wheelchair handles and stepped aside upon seeing Chu Nan.
