Chapter 117: Caught the Attention of the Little Flower Enthusiasts

“What dead body? Have you ever seen such a handsome corpse?”

The speaker was a rather attractive female assistant. Though these assistants were researchers, they still harbored the innocent crushes of young girls!

The one who had spoken earlier laughed at her: “Ha, Sasha Chen, could it be that you’ve fallen for him?”

Sasha Chen brushed her long hair off her shoulder and retorted, “What, is that a problem? Who doesn’t love a handsome guy? Don’t you?”

The teased assistant looked a bit embarrassed. “You’re so straightforward…”

“Love is love. What’s there to be ashamed of?” Sasha Chen rolled her eyes.

“Yeah, yeah, who doesn’t love a handsome guy!” The first assistant exclaimed, her eyes nearly glued to the glass window.

Sasha Chen grabbed the pink lab coat of her friend and pulled her aside, teasing, “Qian Xiangxiang, stop staring. With your looks, no matter how much you look, you won’t get a bite!”

Qian Xiangxiang muttered in discontent, “As if you’d get one yourself!”

Sasha Chen, having sharp hearing, turned back with a smug smile at Qian Xiangxiang: “Can’t help it, looks give me an edge.”

“…”

The three female assistants bickered openly, unaware that Xianyu Qing and the others were not far behind them.

Yuan Man leaned toward Xianyu Qing and whispered, “Looks like Mr. Jiang has caught the eyes of these little fangirls!”

Xianyu Qing remained indifferent, as if she hadn’t heard.

At that moment, the hospital room door opened, and two male doctors emerged.

Xianyu Qing recognized the older one as Dr. Qiao, who had drawn blood from her mother for tests. The other was his student, Gao Zhi.

“Chen Sasha, the patient is now in your care. Report back to me every two hours,” Dr. Qiao instructed Sasha Chen.

Before Sasha could reply, Qian Xiangxiang jumped in: “Dr. Qiao, Sasha doesn’t work night shifts. Can I take over for her tonight?”

Dr. Qiao almost forgot that Sasha was the daughter of Deputy Director Chen and usually only worked day shifts, not nights.

“Alright, you two can alternate shifts,” Dr. Qiao nodded.

Sasha Chen was not to be outdone: “Dr. Qiao, I can do the night shift tonight.”

The previously teased assistant deliberately pulled her back: “But didn’t you say staying up gives you headaches? Let Qian Xiangxiang do the night shift. I’m healthy and can stay to help her.”

“You…” Sasha was momentarily speechless.

“Fine, it’s settled then,” Dr. Qiao said, not wanting to fuss over such matters.

“Dr. Qiao,” Yuan Man called out as she approached them.

As soon as Gao Zhi saw Yuan Man, his eyes lit up. “Dr. Yuan, what brings you here?”

Yuan Man ignored him and smiled sweetly at Dr. Qiao. “Is the patient awake? Can we go in to see him?”

Dr. Qiao wanted to say the patient needed rest.

Before he could, Gao Zhi answered for him, “He’s awake, just finished some tests.”

“Alright, we’ll just look in for a bit and then leave.”

Yuan Man said this confidently and tried to lead Xianyu Qing and the others into the room, but Sasha Chen blocked her.

“Dr. Yuan, if you want to see the patient, you can go in yourself. Why bring so many unrelated people?”

Yuan Man curled her lips. “Are you a doctor?”

Sasha Chen was momentarily stunned. Yuan Man continued, “Assistants should focus on their duties and not meddle in too many things.”

Sasha Chen protested, “But Dr. Qiao has entrusted me with the patient’s care. Why can’t I be involved?”

Yuan Man raised a pretty eyebrow. “Then just take care of your patient. Why interfere with me and the patient’s family?”

“What family?” Sasha looked suspiciously at Xianyu Qing and the others. “Are you really family? Then why did you take so long to visit?”

“Tsk!” Yuan Man grew impatient. “Dr. Qiao, are you sure this clueless girl is competent enough to be an assistant?”

Dr. Qiao sighed, “I don’t handle assistant appointments.”

He was only responsible for research; staffing was the job of his elder brother, Director Qiao.

Oh, and usually Deputy Director Chen handled it.

“Dr. Yuan, you’re a psychiatrist in the research department. Why are you meddling in our assistant appointments?” Sasha sneered.

At Angel Hospital, everyone respected her father. Even the research department was mostly staffed by people her father had hired. Everyone was eager to please her!

But Yuan Man was just a psychiatrist from the research department’s most relaxed division, yet here she was meddling? Completely unreasonable!

Yuan Man chuckled lightly. “Sasha Chen, right? Your father is Deputy Director Chen?”

“Hmph!” Sasha Chen raised her head proudly.

Yuan Man turned to Xianyu Qing and shrugged. “Dear, you might have to trouble Master Ao to call Deputy Director Chen to come take his daughter home, or none of us will be able to enter.”

At this, Sasha Chen’s face changed. “You—you’re not family?”

Why were they dragging Master Ao into this?

Yuan Man mimicked Sasha’s earlier hair flip and smiled. “Forgot to explain — this young lady is from the Nangong family, and the patient inside is her bodyguard. An employer can count as family, right?”

Sasha Chen was speechless.

---

That woman was definitely doing this on purpose!

“Oh, so she’s from the Nangong family!”

Qian Xiangxiang took the opportunity to push Sasha aside, grinning foolishly. “Sasha usually doesn’t understand the rules. If you want to visit the patient, go ahead, just don’t stay too long.”

“Thank you.”

Xianyu Qing, tired of the fuss, bypassed Sasha Chen and entered the room with Ning Wenyan.

Yuan Man gently pinched Qian Xiangxiang’s plump cheek. “Good girl!”

Qian Xiangxiang giggled.

Yuan Man then turned to Sasha Chen. “Why haven’t you left yet?”

“I…” Sasha glared at her in annoyance and stormed off.

---

After Xianyu Qing entered the room, Jiang Mohe’s eyes, which had been half-closed, suddenly opened. Seeing Xianyu Qing, he immediately sat up, staring at her unblinkingly.

Xianyu Qing’s anxious nervousness gradually eased upon seeing Jiang Mohe.

“Cough, cough…” Ning Wenyan behind her coughed deliberately and awkwardly turned her head.

Only then did Xianyu Qing notice that Jiang Mohe’s chest was bare, revealing broad, muscular pectorals, his face flushing as she lowered her gaze.

The doctor had likely just finished examining him and hadn’t redressed him properly.

Thinking of those female assistants pressed against the glass watching his check-up, Xianyu Qing felt a pang of discomfort.

“Oh!” Yuan Man entered whistling, “027, it’s not appropriate to strip down right upon meeting someone. Didn’t you see the elders here?”

027 was Jiang Mohe’s research patient number.

His gaze remained fixed on Xianyu Qing, utterly ignoring Yuan Man’s words.

In truth, aside from being able to sit up, his hands were still bound to the side rails of the hospital bed with monitoring straps; he couldn’t move.

Yuan Man openly appraised him from head to toe, clicking her tongue. “Hmm, nice physique indeed. No wonder those girls are fighting to ‘take care’ of you!”

Xianyu Qing frowned, quickly stepping forward to fasten the sides of Jiang Mohe’s gown for him.
