"Miss Ji, wait, I didn't, it's not like that." Gu Qixiao grabbed Ji Yu's arm and hurriedly explained.
But as soon as he spoke, Gu Qixiao was stunned as well. Why did he feel the need to explain? But if he didn't, he had a nagging sense that he might lose something very important.
The explanation from Gu Qixiao only elicited a cold laugh from the depths of Ji Yu's heart.
"Mr. Gu, this is your personal matter and has nothing to do with me. You don't need to explain anything to me." She then looked at the arm Gu Qixiao was holding, signaling him with her eyes to let go.
What a trashy ex-husband from a past century, divorcing for a mistress, allowing her to badmouth me in my face yet again, and now trying to explain himself? What's the point of that?
Gu Qixiao awkwardly released his grip, but the feeling of her slender arm in his hand, even through the white coat, left an impression of delicate skin.
"Then why did Miss Ji get angry and leave just now?" Gu Qixiao still felt that Ji Yu's anger was connected to him.
Ji Yu put on a professional fake smile and said, "Mr. Gu, I think you've misunderstood. I wasn't angry, I simply left to prepare for the examination!"
Looking at the façade of a forced smile on the person before him, Gu Qixiao felt an inexplicable awkwardness.
Although the feeling was strange, Gu Qixiao found himself unable to refute her words, yet pondered why he even needed to.
A scumbag will always be a scumbag, always wanting more than he already has.
Ji Yu looked at Gu Qixiao, internally mocking him angrily before walking away.
No more time wasted on Gu Qixiao, as after this surgery, they wouldn't see each other again.
Watching Ji Yu leave, Gu Qixiao also turned and returned to the ward.
Everything that happened in the hallway earlier was all seen by Song Xuan from the ward, but she couldn't hear their conversation through the door.
Even the scene alone was enough to drive Song Xuan crazy.
That bitch, how dare she try to seduce Xiao? No wonder she refused to give me her face.
I must have her face, absolutely! With that face, Xiao will be mine, and no one will be able to take him away.
Song Xuan was secretly plotting how to get Ji Yu's face.
Seeing Gu Qixiao turn back into the ward, Song Xuan quickly lay back down on the bed.
When Gu Qixiao entered the room, she feigned a weak expression, but with her unrepaired face, it was anything but gentle, only unspeakably grotesque.
For a moment, even Gu Qixiao was scared, though he had been taking care of Song Xuan for three years, he occasionally still got startled by her.
"Xiao, what did Doctor Ji say just now? Is she refusing to operate on me?"
As soon as Gu Qixiao stood by the bed, Song Xuan threw herself into his arms.
Feeling Song Xuan's clinginess, Gu Qixiao only felt a headache.
Impatiently, he pulled Song Xuan away and stood a bit further to prevent her from reaching over again.
"No, she just went to prepare for the surgery. You don't have to worry; your face will definitely be fixed."
Hearing Gu Qixiao's words, Song Xuan wasn't particularly happy because it wasn't the face she wanted, but for now, she had to settle for it.
Once she gets Ji Yu's face, she will destroy Ji Yu's face; a beautiful face can only belong to her.
In the ward, the two were lost in their own thoughts.
Meanwhile, as Ji Yu prepared for the examination, she suddenly sneezed: "Achoo! Who's talking about me behind my back? It must be that mistress again!" Ji Yu joked.
Despite her grumbling, Ji Yu's hands continued preparing without pause.
Although she hated the mistress persona, in her role as a doctor, everyone was equal.
Once all preparations were done, Ji Yu had the nurse begin taking Song Xuan for her examination.
The process was elaborate and complex.
With many patients at the hospital, and Song Xuan's constant stalling, she often had to wait endlessly for her turn, despite wanting to use Gu Qixiao's influence to cut in line. But since Ji Yu established the hospital, she'd set a rule: everyone must follow hospital protocol, no matter who they are, so Song Xuan had no choice but to wait her turn.
Having completed all the examinations, Song Xuan had cursed Ji Yu countless times in the ward.
At times like these, nobody, including Gu Qixiao, wanted to enter the ward to deal with Song Xuan.
Thus, Song Xuan could only rage uselessly.
These incidents, of course, were unknown to Ji Yu, who was in her office reviewing the examination data.
Even if Ji Yu knew, she wouldn't care; in the hospital, everyone is equal, no exceptions, a strict rule she set.
When Ji Yu appeared in the ward with the examination report, Song Xuan had already quieted down.
"Miss Song, your examination report is out. All indicators are good, and we can schedule the surgery soon."
"Doctor Ji, when can you arrange the earliest surgery date?"
After hearing the examination results, Song Xuan urgently asked Ji Yu to schedule the surgery,
"Miss Song, the earliest available surgery slot is tomorrow. You'll need to start fasting from this evening."
"I want the surgery tonight, arrange it immediately." Not hearing her desired result made Song Xuan's demeanor change instantly.
"Miss Song, fasting is essential before surgery. You don't meet this requirement now, so surgery won't be possible tonight." Despite Song Xuan's haughty tone, which annoyed Ji Yu, she still attempted to placate her first.
However, Ji Yu's response only made the silent yet vexed Song Xuan more unreasonable. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
"I don't care about those things, you must be afraid that once my face is fixed, you can't seduce Xiao, so you refuse to do my surgery quickly."
Suddenly, Song Xuan began shouting without reason, startling the nurses accompanying Ji Yu, including Ji Yu herself.
Watching Song Xuan go berserk before her, Ji Yu couldn't help but ponder.
So, this was the type of lunatic the great Gu family heir preferred—his taste truly is out of the ordinary.
It's fortunate the divorce happened early, Ji Yu secretly felt grateful.
Meanwhile, Gu Qixiao, one of the involved parties, was unaware that within the brief time he left the hospital to handle business at the company, his reputation in Ji Yu's mind plummeted to an all-time low.
But now, no matter how crazily Song Xuan behaved, Ji Yu didn't indulge her; she instructed the nurses clearly and simply left.
Watching Ji Yu's departing figure enraged Song Xuan to the point she smashed everything within the ward that was breakable.
Outside the ward, the nurses glanced back at the chaos inside and patted their chests, relieved for closing the door just in time.
"Ji Yu, just you wait. I will make sure you pay back a thousandfold for the humiliation I suffered today."
At this moment, with her burnt face, Song Xuan looked like a vengeful ghost returning from hell, sending chills down one's spine.
