Chapter 712: 711: A Normally Clever Person with Worrying IQ
By now, the smoke in the study had dissipated quite a bit, and Luo Qiete could see Wen Xin’s face more clearly. He could hardly imagine that such a beautiful girl was actually a divine doctor.
“I agree to this cooperation. As long as you save my mother, I promise never to cooperate with Independent State.”
Luo Qiete looked at Wen Xin sincerely, stood up, and reached out his hand to shake hands with Wen Xin. However, when he saw the silver needle in her hand, he unconsciously withdrew his hand, having once experienced the numb and painful sensation.
Watching Luo Qiete’s action, Chu Yunxuan chuckled lightly. She actually found Roosevelt’s hesitant move quite adorable.
“Alright, since our cooperation has been established, I will visit the hospital tomorrow to examine the patient. Depending on the patient’s condition, we will prepare for the surgery as soon as possible.”
Having spoken, Wen Xin casually placed the silver needle in Luo Qiete’s ashtray, stood up, and glanced back at Chu Yunxuan.
“Let’s head back!”
The man with the goatee stood outside the door. Hearing that Wen Xin was leaving and his boss had no intention of stopping her, he quickly opened the door of the study to welcome Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan as they walked out from Luo Qiete’s study.
“Ladies, follow me, I’ll escort you out…”
The man with the goatee accompanied Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan out of Luo Qiete’s study. Luo Qiete stared at the silver needle in the ashtray, somewhat distracted. He wondered about Wen Xin’s background. If age hadn’t prevented him from harboring unrealistic fantasies about Wen Xin, he indeed found the young lady quite intriguing, certainly more so than Jiang Linyan.
After Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan got into their car and left, Wen Xin looked through the window at the sky faintly turning white in the east and sighed softly.
“When will these troubles end like the sunrise and sunset, with a good resolution?”
Chu Yunxuan also followed Wen Xin’s gaze, then looked back at Wen Xin’s side profile in the rearview mirror, “Everything will eventually pass; everything is moving towards a better situation.”
Hearing Chu Yunxuan’s soft comforting words, Wen Xin turned her head to look at Chu Yunxuan in the rearview mirror and smiled slowly.
“You’re right, everything is progressing in the right direction, and everything will be resolved.”
After sleeping for over three hours in the hotel, Wen Xin got up from the bed, took a shower, and then picked up her phone, which had no calls from Mu Chengxi.
Wen Xin looked at her phone, arched an eyebrow, found Mu Chengxi’s number in the contacts, and dialed it.
The phone rang three times before it was answered, and a gentle voice came through, “Did you wake up?”
“I woke up, are you still busy?” Wen Xin sat on the sofa nearby in a lazy posture that screamed boss.
“I’m okay. I wanted you to sleep longer, so I didn’t call you. How’s it going? Is everything going smoothly?”
Mu Chengxi spoke gently and tenderly, his voice had a soothing and cleansing effect on Wen Xin. Her previously irritable mood instantly calmed down.
“Things got resolved pretty well, how are things on your end?”
Wen Xin rarely showed concern for Mu Chengxi’s affairs. She knew that Mu Chengxi did all these things for her, otherwise, there was no need for him to wade into these muddy waters.
Hearing Wen Xin’s concern, Mu Chengxi chuckled lightly. Though Wen Xin didn’t say much, Mu Chengxi knew she was concerned about him, which instantly relieved a great portion of his fatigue.
“You don’t need to worry about me here. The team consists of elite researchers, and the project is progressing quite rapidly. Don’t worry. When you’re done there, why not come and have a look? We have a robotics exhibition coming up soon. Are you interested in checking it out?”
“I’ll see after I’m done here. This patient’s case is quite tricky, and I might need to follow up with some recovery treatment for some time. I’ll see how it goes.”
…
After exchanging a few more words, Wen Xin hung up the phone, gathered her things, and placed Luo Qiete’s mother’s medical files and surgery schedule into her backpack before leaving the hotel room.
When Wen Xin arrived at the hotel’s restaurant, Chu Yunxuan and Sun Ning were already dining. Wen Xin looked around and did not see Yan Qing.
“Where’s Yan Qing? Hasn’t he woken up yet? That’s unlikely.”
“No, Yan Qing went to check and make arrangements, worried that something might slip at a critical moment, after all…”
“Right, after all, the divine doctor’s safety is more important.”
After stuffing the last piece of bread into his mouth, Sun Ning nodded in agreement, “Exactly, it’s better to be cautious. Given the divine doctor’s high worth, it would be bad if someone were to kidnap him.”
The usually clever Sun Ning now babbled on like a big fool, while Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan refused to even spare him an additional glance. They lowered their heads and started eating the food on the table.
After finishing their meal, Wen Xin casually picked up her backpack beside her and stood up. Chu Yunxuan also followed suit, leaving only Sun Ning standing still, blankly watching their movements.
“Are you leaving already? Isn’t the divine doctor coming? Isn’t she joining us at the hospital? Does she not need to go to the hospital for surgery directly? Is the divine doctor that amazing?”
Hearing one question after another from Sun Ning, Wen Xin impatiently raised her hand and rubbed her temples,
“Shut your mouth, why do you have so many questions? When it’s time for you to meet the divine doctor, you’ll naturally get to see her, so stop with the useless talk. Otherwise, I’ll leave you here at the hotel, and you won’t get to see anything.”
As Wen Xin spoke, some nearby waiters looked in their direction, seemingly awaiting Wen Xin’s command at any moment.
Sun Ning, of course, noticed the change in the atmosphere around them. He looked at Wen Xin, his expression tinged with helplessness, knowing that Wen Xin wasn’t joking, but very serious.
“No way, little princess, are you serious? What are you doing arranging so many people here? You aren’t planning to…”
Before Sun Ning could finish his sentence, Chu Yunxuan swiftly stuffed the bread Wen Xin hadn’t finished into Sun Ning’s mouth, “Shut up, no more nonsense.”
Sun Ning looked at Chu Yunxuan with innocent eyes, not expecting her to be so skilled. He considered himself adept, but when facing Chu Yunxuan, he seemed to stand no chance.
