Chapter 846: Chapter 839: A Close Proximity Advantage

Qiu Zi never imagined that Ming Kai could lie so blatantly, turning deliberate trouble into intentional cultivation.

How could Qiu Zi retort when he said that?

Seeing that Qiu Zi finally stopped losing her temper, Ming Kai stood up, picked up the patient’s case file again, walked over to Qiu Zi and handed it to her, "Take a look at this person and think about whether there’s a better surgical method."

Qiu Zi took the case file, quickly glanced over it, "So, you called me back just to look at this?"

"Yes." Ming Kai sat back in his chair, pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit here and take a closer look."

"Oh." Reluctantly, Qiu Zi walked over and sat down. According to Aunt Wu, doctors should have a parent’s heart; despite having complaints about Ming Kai, when it comes to researching surgery plans for patients, she couldn’t refuse.

Thus, Qiu Zi pouted and began carefully examining the patient’s information, head down, brow furrowed, seemingly deep in thought, muttering to herself.

Ming Kai watched Qiu Zi like this, eyes sparkling, and gradually curled his lips into a smile.

After Qiu Zi finished looking at the information, she and Ming Kai started to research together, and it went very late, and both were somewhat exhausted.

Ming Kai glanced at his watch, slightly surprised, "It’s so late already?"

Qiu Zi rolled her eyes, "Yeah! It’s so late already! Can I go now?"

Ming Kai looked at Qiu Zi’s amusingly puffed-up demeanor, feeling extremely pleased, he took off his white coat and put on his comfortable jacket, "Come on, I’ll treat you to dinner."

Qiu Zi tilted her head, "I’m not going, having dinner with you, I might end up working overtime for ten days!"

She’s really afraid of overtime now. Ming Kai’s like a demon; whenever overtime is needed, it’s always her. Over time, colleagues at the hospital knew that if overtime was passed to Qiu Zi, there was no problem, because even if Qiu Zi herself didn’t agree, Director Ming would.

Ming Kai’s expression changed slightly, "Don’t worry, it’s just a simple dinner, no need to pay back with overtime."

Qiu Zi looked at Ming Kai, feeling somewhat dazed, wondering if it was her own illusion, she always felt that Ming Kai’s gaze towards her carried a trace of sweet affection.

Um... affection?

Qiu Zi suddenly snapped back to reality, how could she think of such a word? Ming Kai is a big villain, right? How could he be affectionate towards her?

"Come on, you can eat whatever you want today, I’m at your mercy." Ming Kai said generously.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zi immediately got interested. Usually bullied by this demon, it’s not bad to feast on him today!

"Alright then!" Qiu Zi nodded, in Bai Yiran’s words, "Not eating is foolish!"

Ming Kai chuckled at Qiu Zi’s words, "You probably heard that from Bai Yiran."

Qiu Zi nodded, "Yeah!"

Ming Kai shook his head, "You two are real foodies."

Suddenly, Qiu Zi’s eyes lit up. "Now that work’s over and you’ve changed clothes, you’re not my boss anymore, so can I talk to you freely now?"

"Yes, you can." Ming Kai nodded.

Qiu Zi grinned, "Didn’t you once go on a blind date with Bai Yiran? Why didn’t you win her over? Then again, competing with someone like Leng Yichen, you’re definitely at a disadvantage..."

Upon hearing Qiu Zi bring up past events, Ming Kai became somewhat displeased, stood still, looked at Qiu Zi, and sincerely said, "Everything between Bai Yiran and myself is in the past. We never started, so there’s no talk of competing with Leng Yichen. Besides, I already have a woman I love!"

"Huh? You have a woman you love?" Qiu Zi was stunned, catching the key point of Ming Kai’s words, "Who’s the woman you love? Do I know her? Is she from our hospital?"

Qiu Zi fired questions at Ming Kai like a machine gun, unexpectedly noticing that Ming Kai blushed.

"Huh? Why’s your face red?" Qiu Zi teased, covering her mouth.

This was at the hospital, surrounded by patients and medical staff, Ming Kai felt embarrassed and began to walk away, as if fleeing.

Qiu Zi mischievously watched Ming Kai’s retreating back, thinking to herself, can’t I handle you? With this thought, Qiu Zi sprinted to chase after Ming Kai.

Meanwhile, at the nurse station, several young nurses looked sour. Ming Kai and Qiu Zi’s cheerful exchange earlier was seen by them, making them feel uncomfortable.

Director Ming is like a golden bachelor in the hospital; they’ve all fancied him for a long time, only to be outdone by this newcomer doctor.
