"Doctor... Doctor Jiang?"
Song Song thought today was doomed. How could she be so careless? This was Qingcheng City's Second People's Hospital!
Jiang Yixiu seemed a bit surprised to see Song Song as well. He didn't expect that they would meet twice in just a few days. "Little..."
Before he could greet her, he saw her winking at him and gesturing a "shush" with her hand.
Jiang Yixiu quickly caught on, raised his refined eyebrows, and walked into the ward, brushing past Song Song, heading to Song Xueqin. "Aunt Song, how are you feeling today?"
"Hmm, much better. Thank you, Doctor Jiang..." Even though Song Xueqin was ill, her hearing and sight were still sharp. She looked at Jiang Yixiu and asked: "Doctor Jiang, how do you know my daughter? You just became my attending physician yesterday. You two shouldn't have met before."
Song Song was really at a loss. Having a smart mother was indeed quite exhausting sometimes. She immediately turned with a smile, "Mom, actually Doctor Jiang is my senior. We just recently got in touch."
"Is that so?"
"Doctor Jiang, is that true? Are you really Song Song's senior?"
"..."
Jiang Yixiu looked at the awkward expression of the girl beside him, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he nodded, "Yes, I am her senior."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Song Xueqin seemed a bit surprised that they shared such a connection.
Song Song glanced at Jiang Yixiu, expressing gratitude, and soon she smiled at her mother, "Mom, I really have something to do. Take your time to recover, I'll come see you again in a couple of days. I have to go now!"
Sister-in-law Zhou's appointment shouldn't be late; she was very strict.
Jiang Yixiu smiled and said, "Aunt Song, I'll go walk... Song Song out."
This name is truly exceptional.
Song Xueqin's eyes brightened a bit, and her gaze swept over both their faces, feeling joy in her heart, "Go ahead, go ahead!"
This Doctor Jiang truly was talented and was also Song Song's schoolmate. Their work was quite complementary; nowadays many doctors preferred teachers as wives.
Outside, Song Song's heart finally calmed down. She turned to Jiang Yixiu with a slightly awkward smile, "Doctor Jiang, thank you for not exposing me earlier. Actually, my mom... doesn't know that I'm already married."
"Yes, you should indeed thank me. I happen to have time now, so how about you treat me to some food?" Jiang Yixiu's speech was always straightforward, especially with women, never beating around the bush.
Song Song's face showed a hint of reluctance, "But I have to rush back now, I have something at six o'clock."
"Six o'clock?" Jiang Yixiu raised his wrist to look at his watch, "It's only quarter past four now. I think time certainly allows, unless you're not truly grateful to me."
"No, no." Song Song smiled and scratched her head, "Then let's go to the café near the hospital, I'll treat you to steak, okay?"
Jiang Yixiu nodded with a smile, "Alright."
Song Song felt a little dazed by the man's smile, not understanding why he smiled so brightly at her. Honestly, they weren't really familiar; they had just met once at the hospital previously.
...
At the café, under Jiang Yixiu's persistent efforts, Song Song told him why she married Xiao Jinghuai.
Only then did Jiang Yixiu understand, "So that's why. No wonder I always felt there was no chemistry between you and Old Xiao."
"Hmm." Song Song poked the steak on her plate, looking somewhat disinterested, "He's a really hard person to get along with. By the way, don't tell my mom about this, I don't want her to worry. If she finds out I traded my lifelong happiness for her health, she'd definitely be furious with me."
"Do you really feel nothing for Old Xiao... at all?"
Jiang Yixiu was curious about this, because any woman who interacted with Xiao Jinghuai generally found him attractive.
"No!" Song Song was puzzled by the question, as she ate her pasta, "Why should I feel anything for him?"
"..."
Jiang Yixiu was speechless, wondering if this girl had too big a heart or a natural immunity to men. He smiled and said, "Alright, you don't need to. Aren't you short on time? Eat up!"
"Oh, okay."
After finishing their meal, the two left the café together. Song Song accidentally tripped over the threshold...
Luckily, Jiang Yixiu was quick to catch her, "Careful."
"Thank you." Song Song was a bit shaken up, "That's just how I walk. Even if I fell ten times, I wouldn't change my careless habit of not watching my step, as my mom says."
"..."
Just then, a Pagani drove slowly past, and Xing Quan, sitting inside, noticed the two on the opposite side of the road, and said, "President Xiao, I think that's Young Madam with Doctor Jiang."
The man, who had been looking at a financial report, looked up at Xing Quan, then glanced out of the window, only to see the man and the girl talking and laughing as they walked by the roadside.
He suddenly felt the girl's laughter was extraordinarily dazzling.
