Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Please mind your words.” Huo Ting looked at Qiao Yu with disdain. “Miss Qiao Nuan is in a good state, and she doesn’t have any mental illness. On the contrary, based on my judgment as a doctor, you seem to have some symptoms of mania.”

Qiao Nuan burst into laughter. “Dr. Huo is right. Qiao Yu, find some time and do a check-up. If it really is mania, you have to treat it in time.”

Qiao Yu gritted her teeth, the muscles on her face tense. She looked at Huo Ting and Qiao Nuan with hatred in her eyes. “Not bad, Qiao Nuan. Not only did you seduce Brother Su He, but you made this doctor twist the truth.”

“Tsk…” Qiao Nuan frowned impatiently, “Qiao Yu, you’re the most baffling person I’ve ever met. You swore that I was crazy, and you’re still thinking of spreading this rumor? Do you think I won’t hold it against you?”

Upon hearing Qiao Nuan’s words, Su He’s eyes lit up. He immediately sat up and propped himself. “Nuan Nuan, I knew what Qiao Yu said wasn’t true. You’re not at all crazy, are you?”

At the sight of Su He’s bright eyes, Qiao Nuan frowned in regret. “I forgot that you were still here. I wanted to pretend to be crazy to force you to break off the engagement.”

“Nuan Nuan, since you put it that way, have you given up on the idea?” Su He looked at Qiao Nuan lovingly. “Don’t worry, Nuan Nuan, I won’t let Qiao Yu drive a wedge between us again.”

Qiao Nuan slapped her forehead in exasperation. She thought to herself, ‘Dear God, just take Su He in already! How could such an annoying dude exist!’

Huo Ting, standing by the side, saw Qiao Nuan’s annoyed and helpless expression. His heart, which had just tightened, now relaxed a lot. At least Qiao Nuan’s attitude toward Su He was apparent, but she looked extraordinarily annoyed and displeased.

Since Qiao Nuan did not like Su He made Huo Ting extremely relieved.

Looking at Qiao Nuan, Su He, and Huo Ting, seemingly about to get into an emotional dispute, Qiao Yu felt her chest tighten and her breath running out.

Qiao Yu did not want to stay in this space where she’d be constantly defeated and humiliated. She was also unwilling to run away with her tail between his legs.

Thus, before she left, Qiao Yu left a stern warning. “Qiao Nuan, even if you try to hide your mental state, you can’t hide your anger and loss of control. I’m waiting for the day when you completely collapse!”

As if afraid that Qiao Nuan would attack her again, Qiao Yu pretended to be calm and left Su He’s ward in a mighty hurry.

The ward was much quieter now, so Huo Ting did a simple check-up on Su He.

Su He did not stop after the check-up. He looked at the handsome Huo Ting and suddenly remembered what the doctor had clearly said about being Qiao Nuan’s suitor.

Su He, who was already determined to get Qiao Nuan, was instantly displeased. He lay on the hospital bed like a boss, refusing to cooperate with Huo Ting’s examination.

When Huo Ting tried to adjust the hospital bed height, Su He still said in a contemptuous and cold tone, “You’re just a poor doctor. I advise you to look at your own identity and stop dreaming of getting something that doesn’t belong to you.”

Qiao Nuan listened from the side, unable to understand what Su He was trying to do. With a roll of her eyes, she felt that he was trying to act cool again.

Huo Ting understood what Su He meant. He smiled at him, but there was no joy in his eyes.

His words, although gentle, were icy cold. “Mr. Su, I think you’re the one who can’t look at your own identity. You’re my patient now. Are you sure you want to offend your own doctor?”

As he spoke, he moved his finger to Su He’s wound. Su He’s face instantly turned pale from the pain, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Nevertheless, the man endured the pain he was in and glared at Huo Ting. “You b*stard!”

“Moreover, Mr. Su seems to be mistaken. What I want is a priceless treasure, not something that belongs to you.”

Qiao Nuan, who was listening by the side, was at a loss. She looked at Lawyer Wang, who had been staying out of the matter. “Do you know what they’re talking about?”

Lawyer Wang looked at Qiao Nuan deeply. He realized that she really didn’t know that the two men were arguing because of her. He shook his head helplessly.

“Sigh, you little girl. Why are you so slow?” Lawyer Wang sighed with vicissitudes of life. “The falling flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is merciless.”

Qiao Nuan was even more confused. Why were all the people here speaking about things she didn’t understand? She felt like she was being ostracized by these people.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Qiao Nuan snorted and said to Lawyer Wang, “Whatever. I don’t want to know what they are talking about. Lawyer Wang, you can represent me in my annulment with Su He. I really can’t communicate with him!”

After saying that, Qiao Nuan nodded to Huo Ting and turned to leave the ward.

Huo Ting looked at Qiao Nuan’s chest that was heaving with anger. He could not help but think that she looked adorable. He could not hide the smile on his face.

“Sigh, although I don’t know why Nuan Nuan is angry, she looks so cute….”
