Newlyweds are in the throes of passion, but Professor He's little darling wants a separation.

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat.

Turning to look at him, I saw Xiao Jingping holding a phone in his hand, his dark eyes fixed on the screen, his expression indifferent.

She assumed he was just suddenly reminiscing about the past. A flicker of surprise crossed Wen Xi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"The world of medical students can be summed up in two words - monotonous. You must know that all too well, senior."

"I heard from my teacher that you didn't... date anyone in college..." Xiao Jingping asked hesitantly.

Wen Xi glanced down at his watch; time was running out. There was a knock at the door.

"What are you talking about?... "

"talk…"

"Wen Xi, stop dawdling! I've been waiting for you for an hour!" Zhao Jingzhi pushed open the door in a flurry.

"Director Xiao, I didn't know you were here too." Besides Wen Xi, Xiao Jingping was also in the consultation room.

"See you tomorrow, Director." Wen Xi picked up his bag and left the room.

The room returned to silence. Xiao Jingping's fingertips trembled slightly, and his knuckles, gripping the phone, turned white. Luckily, he had this prop; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to conceal the current chaos.

The man took off his black-rimmed glasses and tried to take a deep breath.

"I'm a good-for-nothing," he lamented to himself.

"The timing isn't right today. I'll confess at a more suitable time," Xiao Jingping told himself, trying to convince himself.

-

"What were you talking about with Dr. Xiao just now? He seemed really nervous..." Zhao Jingzhi couldn't help but ask. The moment she opened the door, she noticed a fleeting look of panic on Xiao Jingping's face.

"We didn't talk about anything, just some things from our university days." Wen Xi was completely unaware.

"You really didn't talk about anything?"

"What could it be..."

"Wen Xi, I always feel that Dr. Xiao looks at you with a lot of affection..." Zhao Jingzhi smacked her chin a few times.

"What's wrong with you? Dr. Xiao has a gentle personality and looks at everyone with affection... Even the patients in the ward say that Dr. Xiao is so gentle." Wen Xi patted her shoulder.

"It really is different..."

"Maybe it's because we're old acquaintances and from the same hometown..." Wen Xi actually noticed that Xiao Jingping was acting a little strange today. He called her "Qiqi," which she didn't remember him calling her that often.

But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

That girlish infatuation is a thing of the past; she's long since moved on from it.

"By the way, how did you two meet?" Zhao Jingzhi pressed.

"When I was an undergraduate, he was about to graduate with his master's degree. We had the same teacher. Also, my mother was his father's subordinate. So you could say I was the kind of outstanding older brother that everyone knew from childhood," Wen Xi readily agreed.

"Wow, I dare say Dr. Xiao definitely likes you..." Zhao Jingzhi said, patting her chest.

Wen Xi burst out laughing.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. He looks at me like I'm a kindergartener. If I had to say who I like, it's that I used to like him, not that he likes me."

When I was eighteen, I pursued him. I went to his house every day to give him flowers and love letters, but he avoided me like the plague and went abroad... I heard he didn't even dare to come back for the Spring Festival... I even knitted towels for him, can you imagine?

"Crazy girl... How could I have been so crazy back then... I was also electrified for love... I have no regrets in this life." Wen Xi's tone became lighter and lighter as she spoke.

When she said it, she couldn't even imagine that this was the stupid thing she had ever done.

She thought that Xiao Jingping must have been terrified back then to have fled to the United States.

Thinking about this, Wen Xi felt quite sorry for him.

"Damn, Wen Xi, you were so fierce back then... I really underestimated your power. Even after all that, you still couldn't win him over?" Zhao Jingzhi put his arm around her shoulder.

"He's incredibly hard to win over. Back then, I pursued him openly and passionately. Many girls in the academy liked him, and I was just one of them." Wen Xi winked at her.

"That's because he didn't understand how good you were back then. He deserves to be single." Zhao Jingzhi unconditionally stood by Wen Xi's side.

Given Wen Xi's looks and figure, Xiao Jingping didn't take a liking to her, which Zhao Jingzhi honestly couldn't understand at all.

If she were a man, she probably would have pounced on him already.

"Maybe I hadn't developed back then... hahaha." Wen Xi lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on that mound that wasn't very "protruding" even now, his mind wandering.

What came to mind was the man's long, jade-like fingers gently caressing and gathering her skin, and her face instantly flushed slightly.

This is definitely not suitable for children.

Wen Xi patted her face, and Zhao Jingzhi smiled knowingly, not noticing her unusual expression.

"I saw it in the changing room, now you're really something about this..." Zhao Jingzhi joked.

"Don't drive!" Wen Xi blushed furiously.

The two chatted idly for a while. When they passed the children's ward on the third floor, Wen Xi caught a glimpse of an acquaintance - Shen Fu, who was actually coming out of the ward.

She wasn't very familiar with Shen Fu, but they had met a few times. Shen Fu had come to Lanting Pavilion a few times to pick up He Tingchu's information, so they had met before. Wen Xi had his contact information.

Before leaving, He Tingchu specifically told Wen Xi that if there was any emergency, he should call Shen Fu, whose abilities were beyond question.

Their eyes met.

"Madam..." Shen Fu placed his hand on the doorknob and quickly closed the ward door, his eyes seeming to dart away.

He called her "Mrs."

Zhao Jingzhi, who was standing to the side, heard it clearly. Her pupils shrank, and she dared not reply, but she pinched Wen Xi's arm hard.

"Assistant Shen... what are you doing here?" Wen Xi blurted out.

"Oh... well... my family member is sick." Shen Fu touched his nose guiltily.

"Your child is sick? You're married? Do you need any help?" Wen Xi looked up, her eyes moist, and glanced at the pediatric cardiology ward.

All the wards on this floor are for pediatric cardiology.

She was overwhelmed with emotion, not expecting that Shen Fu was already married at such a young age and that his child was sick.

The ward door was flung open from the inside, and a sharp female voice came from beside me.

"Shen Fu, what do you mean by this?" Lu Qianqian was wearing a red knitted dress and high heels.

"Boss Lu," Wen Xi said, fixing his gaze on the spot.

"...Let me introduce you, my...wife, Lu Qianqian..." Shen Fu's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He stretched out his arm and put his arm around Lu Qianqian's shoulder.

...Lu Qianqian's expression wasn't very good. She glanced at Wen Xi opposite her and understood everything, but she didn't push away Shen Fu's arm, letting him put his arm around her shoulder.

"Boss Lu, we meet again. So you're Assistant Shen's wife..." Wen Xi felt dizzy; she needed to sort out these relationships.

Lu Qianqian's eyes immediately darkened, and she bit her lip, remaining silent.

"Say hello, wife." Shen Fu pinched her shoulder hard, his face dark, and snorted.

"Mrs. He..." Lu Qianqian said, seemingly reluctantly.

"Mommy, I want Daddy... Mommy, this medicine is so bitter, I don't want to take it..." The boy's sobbing came from the half-open door.

Wen Xi looked through the door and saw a boy, about two or three years old, lying on the hospital bed wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown.

"You should take care of the children first. If you need any help, please contact me. I am the doctor here."

"Okay, Madam, please go ahead with your work." Shen Fu replied hastily.

She and Zhao Jingzhi walked out hand in hand. At the corner of the corridor, Wen Xi turned her head and looked at Shen Fu and Lu Qianqian beside him, her expression momentarily stunned.

The relationship between Shen Fu and Lu Qianqian caught Wen Xi off guard; she hadn't heard He Tingchu mention their relationship before.

But that makes sense, otherwise He Tingchu wouldn't have taken her to Lu Qianqian's place for a meal. So that's what their relationship is like.

Wen Xi didn't think much of it, shook his head, entered the elevator, and the two figures disappeared into the corridor.

-

"I'm going to call Tingchu, Dongdong misses his dad." Lu Qianqian broke free from Shen Fu's arm with a fierce look in her eyes.

"President He won't answer your call. Miss Lu insists on transferring Dongdong to Peking University Affiliated Hospital. Don't think the boss doesn't know what you're up to." Shen Fu patted the wrinkles on his suit, loosened his grip on her shoulder, and looked quite disgusted.

"What did I do wrong? I just wanted Dongdong to receive the best treatment. The cardiology department at the affiliated hospital is the best." Lu Qianqian crossed her arms.

"Miss Lu should be well aware of the boss's attitude. You'd better not challenge his bottom line, otherwise... you'll bear the consequences." Shen Fu's expression changed drastically, and he leaned closer to whisper in her ear.

I don't know what he said, but Lu Qianqian's face turned deathly pale after hearing it.

She lost her balance, staggered half a step, and leaned weakly against the wall.

"Miss Lu, you'd better think this through and tell me your answer. Please take care of yourself. I will arrange for Dongdong to be transferred to another hospital immediately." Shen Fu said coldly and strode out.

The woman behind him had bloodshot eyes, seeping with hatred and murderous intent, her face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"He Tingchu, you have such a cruel heart!" She parted her red lips slightly and sneered.
