The Sweetest Medicine

A couple of words was no big deal, but Yu Gangan remained silent, turning the atmosphere awkward in an instant.

However, Xia Chengzhou did not mind as he smiled comfortably like a spring breeze, “Don’t feel awkward. Director Xu requested for a doctor that was proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, that’s why I recommended you. If you really feel awkward or you want to thank me, then treat me to a meal.”

Yu Gangan froze for a moment and laughed, “That’s only right. I’m just not sure when Senior Xia will have time.”

“I was just joking. I would never make you pay. I should be the one to treat. Do you have time tonight? Let’s have dinner together,” Xia Chengzhou said with a gentle laugh. But, deep down, he was actually worried that Yu Gangan would reject him.

He was extremely nervous. Even more nervous than the first time he saw a patient.

Yu Gangan didn’t know how to respond.

If this was in the past, she wouldn’t have thought there was anything wrong. After all, she had a lot of seniors and sharing a meal was nothing.

But, she didn’t know why she felt Xia Chengzhou’s actions weren’t as simple as they appeared on the surface.

She had a feeling this was something that Fang Zhihan wasn’t going to like. He was going to be unhappy and even angry about it.

Thus, the hesitation and uncertainty.

“Then…I’ll treat you to dinner another time. My husband will be picking me up soon.”

Yu Gangan didn’t care what Xia Chengzhou thought about her and whether he was interested in her like she thought. She was going to make it so he never had any thoughts about her and only treated her as a normal friend.

Husband.

Sure enough, Xia Chengzhou was slightly surprised when he heard this.

She was already married.

How was that possible? She was so young!!

The hands by Xia Chengzhou’s side clenched into fists. It was a bit hard to accept. But, a smile remained on his face, “OK, no problem.”

His heart was filled with disappointment.

Initially, he thought it was rare to meet a girl that he liked, so even if she had a boyfriend, he was willing to give it a try because he didn’t want to have any regrets.

But, he never knew that from the moment he first met her, it didn’t matter what he did, he had already lost from the start.

Yu Gangan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed, Xia Chengzhou understood where he stood.

She immorally used Fang Zhihan again.

Fang Zhihan was very useful sometimes, like a warm and cozy safe haven.

Yu Gangan returned to the dormitory, picked up her phone and decided to send Fang Zhihan a message.

But, just as she was thinking about what to write, her phone rang.

She wasn’t holding the phone tightly, so it shook in her hand and almost fell onto the floor.

Luckily, her reaction was quick and she quickly grabbed onto it.

Yu Gangan held back her shock, picked up the phone and placed it up to her slightly red ear.

Before she made a sound, Fang Zhihan’s voice resounded from the other end, “Come out, I will wait for you outside.”

His deep and charming voice was powerfully dominating. It was like intoxicating wine that stirred one’s heart.

“En,” Yu Gangan replied quietly.

She put on a jacket, wrapped a scarf around her neck and jogged out holding her handbag.

The wind swept across the roadside trees, creating a rustling noise. Fang Zhihan was standing outside his car even though the weather was cold and he had a cold vibe to him. His beige coat, black scarf, and snowy complexion was an attractive scene.

As the smoky winter air billowed from his mouth, Yu Gangan stopped in front of the man and asked gently, “Why are you here?”
