Chapter 31

Huang Shuqin was not one to keep things to herself: "Lingling, just now Fang Ping saw Doctor Qin talking quite animatedly with those two female teachers from Tan Mountain University. You need to act quickly. Opportunity favors the prepared. You must seize this chance."

Jiang Lingling immediately looked tense but said, "Those two teachers from Tan Mountain University are our emergency patients. Doctor Qin might know them."

"Regardless, you need to step up. Where did Fang Ping go?" Huang Shuqin originally wanted to ask Fang Ping for more details, but then realized that Fang Ping had already slipped away.

At lunchtime, when Qin Chuan arrived at the cafeteria, Jiang Lingling had already prepared the food and was waving to him.

"Doctor Qin, over here," Jiang Lingling called out to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan walked over: "I'm troubling you again, how can I feel at ease?"

"Just now, you looked quite busy, so I quickly got your food. If you come late, there won't be much left. There are too many people here now," Jiang Lingling said.

"Next time, I'll queue up. I feel too bad letting a girl do it for me," Qin Chuan said.

"Whoever has the time can queue up," Jiang Lingling said.

Jiang Lingling kept putting food on Qin Chuan's plate.

"No, no, no, that's enough," Qin Chuan hurriedly said.

He Xiaokang came over with his bowl, "Can I sit here without disturbing you?"

Jiang Lingling smiled, "Doctor He, you're always joking. Even if you don't sit here, could I stop others from sitting here?"

"That's true. So, I'm not disturbing your two-person world," He Xiaokang said.

Qin Chuan smiled, "Doctor He, why isn't Nurse Fang here?"

"She's not feeling well today. After I finish eating, I'll go buy her some snacks," He Xiaokang said.

"You're really considerate to Sister Fang," Jiang Lingling said.

"If Sister Fang could be as gentle and considerate as others, that would be great," He Xiaokang looked at Qin Chuan with some envy.

"I'll tell her that later," Qin Chuan said very seriously.

"No, no. Qin Chuan, are you trying to kill me?" He Xiaokang quickly begged for mercy.

"Not telling Nurse Fang isn't impossible. You need to show some sincerity. I'm in the mood for Tan Fish Head," Qin Chuan said.

"Sure, in a couple of days, I'll take you to eat Tan Fish Head," He Xiaokang said.

"That's too much trouble. I don't want to make you spend money again," Qin Chuan said. Jiang Lingling giggled nonstop.

"Lingling, stop laughing. What do you want to eat?" Qin Chuan quickly said.

"I want to eat the shredded lamb from Jin Yu Restaurant," Jiang Lingling said.

"You two are like a golden boy and a jade girl, a perfect match," He Xiaokang said through gritted teeth.

"Since Brother He is unhappy, I won't make you spend money. Brother He, rest assured, we are good friends. I will definitely keep this a secret and won't tell Nurse Fang about your comments," Qin Chuan said.

"That's right. Brother He, I will also keep it a secret," Jiang Lingling said seriously. She was really serious, but she didn't realize that Qin Chuan was speaking sarcastically.

Amidst the playful banter, they finished the not-so-delicious food in their plates. They packed up their lunch boxes and headed back to the department.

Unlike other departments, the emergency department couldn't take a break at noon. After eating, they treated several more emergency patients.

Finally, Qin Chuan managed to take a break and fell asleep on the table. He had been quite tired these past two days. He hadn't even entered the system much, not knowing how many points he had accumulated. His eyelids were too heavy to open, and he couldn't care about anything else.

In the afternoon, he finally managed to go home on time. Qin Chuan took a detour to drop Jiang Lingling off at the entrance of Yuhu Garden.

It just so happened that Jiang Yudong was also coming home from work at this time. The black Audi stopped at the entrance of the residential area, and the rear window glass rolled down as Jiang Yudong poked his head out.

"Lingling," Jiang Yudong called out affectionately. He had already noticed Qin Chuan walking beside Jiang Lingling.

"Dad, you're off work too?" Jiang Lingling called out happily, but her face looked a bit unnatural. She didn't want to tell her parents about Qin Chuan so early, as she wasn't sure if they would accept him.

Jiang Yudong got out of the car, "Lingling, is this your friend?"

Jiang Lingling nodded helplessly, "Yes. Doctor Qin from our emergency department."

"Uncle Jiang, hello," Qin Chuan also noticed that Jiang Lingling's father was not an ordinary person. The license plate of the car clearly indicated that he was a high-ranking official in the city government. Qin Chuan wasn't familiar with the city's officials, as he had only recently started working in Tan Mountain City and wasn't particularly interested in politics.

"Hello. Doctor Qin, would you like to come in for a while?" Jiang Yudong obviously knew that this young man had a very special relationship with Jiang Lingling. In his impression, this was the first time Jiang Lingling had gotten so close to a boy. Qin Chuan's appearance was quite good, even more handsome and tall than Gao Zhe.

Jiang Lingling didn't know what to say, looking at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan quickly said, "I won't disturb you. It's getting late, I need to go back."

This was indeed not the right time to visit Jiang Lingling's home.

"Dad, Doctor Qin has been very tired these past few days. Let him go back and rest," Jiang Lingling said.

"Alright, Doctor Qin, go back and rest. Come to our place another day with Lingling," Jiang Yudong said.

"Sure, sure. Uncle Jiang, Lingling, I'm going back. Goodbye," Qin Chuan said.

"Goodbye," Jiang Yudong got back into the car.

Jiang Lingling quickly said to Qin Chuan, "I'll tell you about my family tomorrow. I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Jiang Lingling cared a lot about Qin Chuan's feelings, fearing that this matter might cause him to be upset.

Qin Chuan smiled, "It's fine, it's fine. Go back early. I'm going back too."

Jiang Lingling waved to Qin Chuan and waited until he was far away before getting into Jiang Yudong's car.

"Lingling, does your colleague live nearby?" Jiang Yudong asked.

"No, he lives on Jijian Street," Jiang Lingling said.

"What do his parents do? Who else is in his family?" Jiang Yudong asked again.

Jiang Lingling came to her senses and frowned, "Dad, what are you doing? Checking the household registration? I'm not talking to you."

"Sweetheart, I'm just trying to give you some advice," Jiang Yudong laughed. No matter what, seeing his daughter act this way, he knew she was in love.

"His parents are retired workers. He's an only child," Jiang Lingling said.

"Ah," Jiang Yudong nodded but didn't ask any more questions.

When they arrived home, Gao Zhe quickly ran down to open the car door.

"Lingling, is working at the hospital very tiring?" Gao Zhe asked.

"Yes, it's okay. But I really like this job," Jiang Lingling said.

"Lingling, go upstairs first. I need to talk to Secretary Gao about something," Jiang Yudong said.

Jiang Lingling knew that Jiang Yudong and Gao Zhe were going to discuss work matters, which she wasn't interested in, so she ran upstairs.

"Regarding the Jiutan project, you need to pay more attention. It's a mess. We have no choice but to accept it. It's not easy to take over this mess. We need to be smart in our work. You'll need to work hard these few days, go there more often, and understand the actual situation," Jiang Yudong said.

"Mayor Jiang, rest assured. I'll take it seriously. I have some acquaintances there. I'll go and gather some information these few days," Gao Zhe said.
