The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

When Sun Rong and the others saw that Bai Yunyun had spoken clearly, they finally started to panic. They immediately changed their tune and went back to their previous fawning and obsequious manner, hooking their arms around Bai Yunyun's and laughing.

"Dr. Bai, we were just joking with you. We're best friends, we can't let something like this ruin our friendship."

But Bai Yunyun, who was used to being domineering, would never fall for Sun Rong's act. She didn't even care about saving face anymore and was determined to vent her anger. She slapped Sun Rong's hand away, her eyes flashing with a vicious light.

"Get your dirty hands off me. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be my sister. Return everything I gave you right now. I'll be checking later, and not a single thing can be missing."

After saying that, he walked out with Xia Qiuran, leaving the others filled with regret.

"What should I do? This is my only pair of leather shoes. I rely on them to make a good impression when I go out." Xiao Wang glanced at the shoes he was wearing and stamped his feet in frustration.

Then Sun Rong said with equal interest, "What's that compared to what I have? My notebook is so thick. If I were to copy it all, my hands would be exhausted."

...

Bai Yunyun followed Xia Qiu and then went to find Lu Zhenghan to get his signature.

Bai Yunyun had never felt so satisfied after dealing with these scoundrels. She knew in her heart that Xia Qiuran had spoken up for her this time, but she couldn't bring herself to thank Xia Qiuran.

"Although you spoke up for me this time, don't expect me to thank you." Bai Yunyun took two quick steps, stood shoulder to shoulder with Xia Qiuran, and said with her chin raised.

"Don't flatter yourself. I didn't speak up for you. They were talking about you and then they dragged me into it. I couldn't stand it, so I spoke up," Xia Qiuran replied without looking at him.

"That would be for the best. Let me tell you, I won't hold back when it comes to Zheng Han. In the end, he can only be mine."

Bai Yunyun glanced at Xia Qiuran. For some reason, she always felt that Xia Qiuran and Lu Zhenghan hadn't completely broken things off and were still entangled. She thought this was a good opportunity to give Xia Qiuran a warning.

Xia Qiuran felt a little helpless. After so many things, she didn't expect that Bai Yunyun's obsession with Lu Zhenghan would still bother her.

She was now genuinely curious about what Bai Yunyun was thinking.

"Bai Yunyun, you're not bad yourself, why waste your time on someone who doesn't like you?" Xia Qiuran asked casually.

"What do you know? Marriage is a woman's second life. Lu Zhenghan is the best man I've ever met in my life—the most handsome, the most responsible, and the best he's ever been. If I don't fight tooth and nail to hold on to him, where will I find another man like him?"

Bai Yunyun spoke with a smug look on her face, as if Lu Zhenghan was already her boyfriend.

Her mother and aunt told her from a young age that a good man is more precious than gold, and if she met one, she should never hesitate to use any underhanded means to get him.

As for whether or not there is love, it doesn't matter; time will make all the same.

"But he doesn't like you. Relationships gained through manipulation are mostly fake, and in the end, you'll both hate each other. Are you willing to live like that for the rest of your life?" Xia Qiuran continued.

"What feelings? As long as I like him, that's enough." Bai Yunyun still maintained an indifferent attitude.

Xia Qiuran didn't say anything, but at this moment she really admired Bai Yunyun's perseverance. If she put that kind of spirit into anything, she would succeed. Why put all her hopes on a man?

They quickly arrived at Lu Zhenghan's office, and after reporting, the two went in one after the other.

Xia Qiuran recounted how Xia Pingsheng had broken medicine and wasted medical supplies the day before, and took out all the money she had saved to pay the hospital bills as compensation.

"I understand what happened. Your brother was just trying to help, so there's no need for compensation. Medicines will wear out with normal use, and I'll have someone send the supplies over later."

After listening, Lu Zhenghan said that he understood that Xia Qiuran was short of money. If he said that he would make up for the medicine privately, Xia Qiuran would definitely not agree, so he could only make up an excuse.

"No, Commander, I must compensate for this money. My brother's actions violated regulations and he must take responsibility," Xia Qiuran immediately refused.

She knew that Lu Zhenghan always kept public and private matters separate. If he made an exception for her this time, how would he manage others in the future?

Bai Yunyun stood to the side watching the two of them push and shove each other, gritted her teeth, and couldn't help but think to herself, what's so great about this?

"Commander, Xia Pingsheng should be punished for making things worse, but shouldn't Dr. Xia also be punished for suddenly running away for most of the day yesterday? This is the army. If we don't even have this much discipline, things will be in complete chaos."

Bai Yunyun used military discipline as an excuse to speak up at the right time, and after speaking, she didn't forget to make a sarcastic remark about Xia Qiuran in front of Lu Zhenghan.

"And Dr. Xia came back very late. She ignored her parents' visit and ran out. Did she go to meet her lover?"

Yesterday, Bai Yunyun thought about it for a long time, but she really couldn't figure out what reason Xia Qiuran would abandon her parents who had just come from the countryside and her older brother and run away in such a hurry.

And the only thing that could make a woman care so much, besides relationship issues, is something else she can't think of.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, it's never wrong to plant a seed of doubt in Lu Zhenghan's heart.

"Xia Qiuran came looking for me yesterday, and I was the one who brought her back."

As soon as Bai Yunyun finished speaking, Lu Zhenghan blurted out his answer almost without a second's hesitation.

Bai Yunyun was stunned on the spot, and didn't even have time to wipe the smug smile off her lips.

They've already broken up, how come they're still together? It's outrageous.

She had thought about it a thousand times, but she never expected things to turn out this way. She was speechless for a moment, not even knowing what to say next.

"Dr. Bai, but you are right about one thing: Xia Qiuran ran away without permission and should be punished."

Lu Zhenghan continued, then looked at Xia Qiuran with a serious expression.

Xia Qiuran.

Xia Qiuran immediately stood at attention and loudly replied, "Present."

"Submit a 5,000-word self-criticism to me in three days."

"Yes."

"Bai Yunyun".

After punishing Xia Qiuran, Lu Zhenghan summoned Bai Yunyun again.

Bai Yunyun: "Yes."

"You privately appointed Xia Pingsheng, who has no medical background, to change the wounded's dressings. Xia Pingsheng is at fault for this, but you can't escape responsibility either. Considering how hard you work at the rescue station, I won't punish you severely this time. You still need to write a 5,000-word self-criticism and give it to me in three days." The tone was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes." Bai Yunyun had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go out."

Lu Zhenghan pushed the signed document forward and said.

Just as Xia Qiuran and Bai Yunyun were about to turn and leave, they spoke again.

"Xia Qiuran, you stay here for now."

"Yes."

Bai Yunyun glanced at the two of them, but dared not object, so she silently left the office.

When I got to the door, I couldn't contain my curiosity and wanted to stay and listen to what they had to say.

But at that moment, Xiao Zhang, who had been guarding the door, immediately glanced over.

The look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a spy, which frightened Bai Yunyun so much that she immediately left the place.

Inside the house, Lu Zhenghan didn't beat around the bush. After yesterday's events, he was completely certain that Xia Qiuran was the person he had chosen.

So I wrote a marriage application last night.
