Ning Luo looked at Qin Xuan, extremely grateful, but he still managed a wry smile.
"Young man, thank you for saving my life, but you've just made me experience the pain of a lifetime all at once."
Qin Xuan chuckled.
"As the saying goes, 'good medicine tastes bitter,' and 'blood is thicker than water.' It's all the same principle."
The pain of bone was many times worse than the pain of flesh. Had it been a younger person, they might have been too wracked with agony to wake up.
"Regardless, I still thank you, young man. I, Ning, owe you a favor. If you ever encounter any difficulties, just come find me! I won't refuse!"
Wang Yuyan also seized the opportunity to speak up.
"Uncle Luo, his wife is the newly appointed president of our group, and she's in charge of overseas markets. If you want to show your gratitude, how about you take on all our group's transportation needs!"
"Oh?" Ning Luo was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
"So, President Tantai Yue is this divine doctor's wife. Looking at it this way, you truly are a match made in heaven, a business elite and a medical elite."
"Mr. Ning is too kind," Qin Xuan said, feeling a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Ning Luo had recovered and the transportation issue was resolved, Wang Yuyan felt reassured that with him around, the overseas transportation for the Wang Group would be secure.
"Uncle Luo, since you're alright, we should be going. The group has a lot of matters to attend to."
Ning Luo, his health fully restored, was in high spirits.
"Alright! I won't keep you any longer. Young man, would you be willing to stay for a while? I'll have someone book a hotel, and I'd like to thank you properly."
"Mr. Ning, I..." Before Qin Xuan could finish, Wang Yuyan quickly interjected to refuse for him.
"Uncle Luo, I'm sorry, but he needs to drive us back. He's my driver and part-time private doctor. Next time, next time, okay?"
With that, she consciously pulled Qin Xuan behind her, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
"Is that so..." Ning Luo's eyes darted about, and then he said,
"Very well, since that's the case, I'll thank you next time, young man."
In truth, Ning Luo had his own ulterior motives. For someone in the transportation business like himself, competition was fierce, and it meant more enemies. Having a highly skilled, even monstrously talented doctor like Qin Xuan by his side could be life-saving in a situation like the one he had just experienced. However, after Wang Yuyan revealed that Qin Xuan was her private doctor, he dismissed the thought.
Wang Yuyan smiled and nodded, accepting on Qin Xuan's behalf. Then, taking one by each hand, a large and a small, she led Qin Xuan and his sister out of the ward.
Halfway through, Wang Yuyan suddenly turned back and left a parting remark.
"Uncle Luo, your younger brother was just about to kill my private doctor, and even threatened me."
After saying this, she winked at Ning Xue, then led the two of them out of the ward.
Ning Xue could only smile helplessly. This Yuyan was truly mischievous.
As expected, Ning Luo's expression instantly turned cold, and he looked at Ning Wenkang, his tone stern.
"What is going on?"
Ning Wenkang was filled with regret as he recounted the entire incident from beginning to end.
*Slap!*
As soon as he finished, a crisp sound of a slap echoed through the ward.
"You scoundrel! Yuyan is the esteemed chairperson of the Wang Group and Xue'er's best friend. Would she harm me? You almost ruined the future of our Ning family!"
Outside the hospital, Qin Xuan saw people everywhere and quickly pulled his hand away from Wang Yuyan, earning a glare from her.
Qin Xuan felt helpless; he was doing this for her reputation. Wang Yuyan, as the chairwoman of one of Jiangbei City's two major groups, was featured on the morning news. Countless people recognized her. If she were seen holding hands with another man, gossip would spread instantly. Coupled with the omnipresent paparazzi, if Qin Xuan and Tantai Yue's identities were exposed, their supposed love triangle would become the next day's headline.
