Chapter 224: Injured, Murong Zheng Is the Physician

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Murong Qiao was familiar with the layout of the Central Hospital.

“Hello, is there a patient called Gong Qing?” Murong Qiao asked as she stopped at the front desk.

She explained the reason and the staff quickly found out about Gong Qing.

The receptionist at the front desk told her, “Gong Qing has been diagnosed with a mild bone fracture. She should be in Bed 5 in Area 1 on the third floor.”

Murong Qiao then thanked her and took the elevator to the third floor.

The elevator slowly rose as the pungent smell of disinfectant wafted to the tip of her nose, making her feel suffocated.

Occasionally, there would be patients in wheelchairs along the corridor.

Murong Qiao followed the instructions and found Gong Qing’s ward. When she realized that he was not there, she asked the nurse.

“Gong Qing? I just helped send him into the operating theater. It’s next door,” the nurse replied.

Murong Qiao went over and saw that the light in the operating theater had changed color. Then, she saw her second brother, Murong Zheng, walk out.

As soon as Murong Zheng walked out, another young lady dressed as a nurse walked out of the operating theater to look for him.

“Doctor Murong, 1 need you to sign this.” Zhao Yaning handed him the surgical report.

Murong Zheng nodded coldly and took off his white surgical gloves. He took the pen from Zhao Yaning and signed his name on the paper.

Zhao Yaning received the surgery form from Murong Zheng, but she did not leave.

She looked at Murong Zheng’s expressionless and handsome face and asked him, “Doctor Murong, do you have an appointment tonight?”

Murong Zheng did not even look at her. He frowned slightly and put the pair of gloves into a special handling bag. When he heard Zhao Yaning’s question, he gave an answer.

“If you’re a Ph.D. graduate student, we’d still have something to discuss.” He rejected her bluntly.

Murong Qiao heard their conversation clearly from the side. Seeing that Murong Zheng still had the same style, a familiar yet speechless feeling surged in her heart.

Zhao Yaning was still smiling. She skillfully suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, as if this was not the first time she had been rejected.

Seeing that the two of them had nothing else to say, Murong Qiao walked out to greet Murong Zheng.

She walked up to Murong Zheng and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen you perform surgery.”

There was a hint of novelty in Murong Qiao’s words. Previously, when she saw that Murong Zheng had been doing research, she thought that he was mainly involved in scientific research and did not participate in actual surgeries. As a result, she almost forgot that Murong Zheng was actually a doctor.

Seeing Murong Qiao here, Murong Zheng raised his eyebrows. The coldness on his face lessened a little, and his focused gaze shifted to her.

“I prefer research,” Murong Zheng answered casually.

Murong Zheng was not at all interested in activities like surgeries and consultations that required dealings with people. Instead of talking about the basics of medicine to people who could not understand anything and whose brains were as forgetful as goldfish, he preferred to deal with cells under the microscope and in the laboratory.

Zhao Yaning looked at Murong Qiao in surprise. When she noticed that Murong Zheng’s words were no longer harsh, she felt a little uncomfortable.

She pursed her lips and stopped smiling. She looked at Murong Qiao with disgust, especially since Murong Qiao was extraordinarily beautiful. This made her feel a sense of danger.

Murong Zheng didn’t pay attention to why Murong Qiao was here. He had just finished a surgery and needed to replenish his energy, so he asked her.

“Let’s eat together?” Murong Zheng said.

Standing next to him, Zhao Yaning widened her eyes in disbelief. She looked at Murong Zheng, who had just said this. She couldn’t believe that he had turned down her invitation and taken the initiative to invite Murong Qiao.

Eat? The scene of the two of them eating last time instantly appeared in Murong Qiao’s mind. Murong Zheng’s strange food requests had left a deep impression on her.

At the thought of that, Murong Qiao quickly shook her head. “I’ve eaten. I’m here to see a doctor.”

She told Murong Zheng about Gong Qing.

“It’s a slight bone fracture. Just tell him to lie down after the surgery and rest more to recover,” Murong Zheng said.

He was Gong Qing’s chief surgeon. His injuries weren’t serious as he required just a minor surgery.

Murong Qiao naturally trusted her second brother’s skills. Since he had said so, Murong Qiao nodded and wrote it down, planning to tell An Nuo later.

While the two of them were talking, Gong Qing was pushed out of the operating theater by a few medical staff towards the ward.

Seeing this, Murong Qiao also bid farewell to Murong Zheng. She planned to take a look at Gong Qing to reassure An Nuo.

“Dr. Murong, who is she?” Zhao Yaning asked after Murong Qiao walked away.

Zhao Yaning should have followed the patient, but when she saw Murong Zheng and Murong Qiao chatting happily and their relationship was obviously different, she stood there and couldn’t move.

She had never seen Murong Zheng treat anyone with such a gentle attitude.

Zhao Yaning was a new nurse and her father was the deputy director of the Central Hospital. One time, when she came to the hospital to look for her father, she happened to meet Murong Zheng and fell in love at first sight.

She also studied medicine. Initially, she wanted to be Murong Zheng’s assistant so that she could get to know him better. However, when she stood in front of Murong Zheng, she was mercilessly criticized by Murong Zheng from the inside out. After that, she could only regress and become a nurse in the Orthopedics Department.

Murong Zheng ignored Zhao Yaning’s question and turned around to return to his office.

Since Little Sister didn’t agree to eat together, he decided not to go out to eat. The time he saved would be more valuable if spent in the lab.

Zhao Yaning was angered by his reaction. She frowned as she watched Murong Zheng walk further and further away. Then, she looked in the direction where Murong Qiao had left and followed her.

At this moment, Gong Qing had already woken up from the anesthetic. When he opened his eyes, he saw Murong Qiao standing by his bed. It surprised him so much that he almost fell off the bed.

“Boss?!” Gong Qing was still a little stunned when he saw Murong Qiao. “Why are you—”

At this moment, his right leg was raised and fixed and thus, he could only lie on the bed. It was a little difficult for him to greet Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao then waved her hand. “Don’t move. I’m just here to see how your injuries are.”

Her gaze landed on Gong Qing’s leg. It didn’t have a cast and was only strictly fixed in place to promote healing. Therefore, it shouldn’t be too serious.

Gong Qing blushed even more when he heard the boss’s words and scratched his head in embarrassment.

“It’s nothing serious. It won’t delay the filming progress.” Gong Qing spoke a little anxiously.

The male supporting role in Wulin Universe was not easy to land and had a lot of screentime. Therefore, Gong Qing cherished this opportunity.

However, when he saw that An Nuo was about to be smashed, Gong Qing did not think too much about it and pounced on her.

Murong Qiao waved her hand. “Don’t worry about that. You can film your scene when you’re better.”

Murong Qiao didn’t want to pour cold water on Gong Qing’s warm heart. If he didn’t save An Nuo, the production team’s losses would be even greater. This way, Gong Qing’s contribution to the production team was actually huge.

When Gong Qing heard the boss’s promise, his uneasy heart immediately relaxed and he heaved a sigh of relief.

If someone else said this, Gong Qing would only treat it as comforting him, but it would be trustworthy when Murong Qiao said it.

It was at this moment that Zhao Yaning walked in. When she saw Murong Qiao standing in front of Gong Qing and talking, the jealousy and hostility in her heart surged again.

“Hello, please don’t disturb the patient’s rest.” Zhao Yaning walked over with a straight face.

She stood in front of Murong Qiao with a business-like expression, obviously talking down to her..
