Chapter 36 Xi Xi's Call

"I'm perfectly fine, no issues!"

"Oh really?" Chen Mo sneered, pointing to the area of his own liver.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have been experiencing a dull ache here recently, along with a loss of appetite."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, the young man's expression instantly changed.

Because Chen Mo was absolutely correct; his liver had indeed been feeling uncomfortable these past few days.

"And you probably also have a dry mouth, insomnia, excessive dreaming, and general fatigue."

The more he listened, the uglier the young man's complexion became, and he couldn't help but ask, "How... how did you see that?"

Chen Mo feigned mystery. "If I didn't have some skills, do you think I could have become the department head at such a young age?"

"Doc... Doctor, is my condition serious?"

Chen Mo frowned and sighed.

It's said that patients fear a doctor's sigh the most.

Instantly, the young man felt as if half his life was gone, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

The main reason was that Chen Mo had been so accurate; he had been experiencing exactly these symptoms recently!

This made the young man believe Chen Mo's words without reservation.

Chen Mo scribbled rapidly and handed over a dozen slips of paper to the young man.

"What are these?" The young man looked at the dozen slips in his hand, utterly bewildered. He didn't know what an MRI, CT scan, or blood test was for.

"Go and get a full body check-up first, it will help with the diagnosis," Chen Mo instructed.

"How much will that cost?" the young man asked blankly.

Chen Mo pondered for a moment. "Around twenty to thirty thousand."

"What!"

"These tests cost twenty to thirty thousand?!" The young man's eyes widened.

Chen Mo nodded and extended his hand. "That's right. If you don't want to do them, you can give the slips back to me."

The young man had been hesitant before.

But seeing Chen Mo about to take back the examination slips, he panicked.

"I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll go for the tests right now!"

Saying this, the young man, clutching the dozen examination slips, hastily left Chen Mo's consultation room.

At this moment, Tian Mengyao also hurried into Chen Mo's consultation room.

Seeing the young man leaving in a hurry with the examination slips, she looked confused.

Weren't these people here to cause trouble for Chen Mo? Why were they all leaving now, and looking so flustered?

"What's wrong with them?" Tian Mengyao asked Chen Mo, who was leisurely drinking tea.

"They're going for tests."

"Tests? Is he sick?" Tian Mengyao asked, puzzled.

"He looks so thin and his complexion is sallow. A full body check-up will surely reveal something."

Tian Mengyao was stunned.

"Pfft!"

She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chen Mo intended to find something wrong with him even if he wasn't sick. After all, a full body check-up would cost at least twenty to thirty thousand!

She had been worried about Chen Mo earlier, but now it seemed her worries were completely unnecessary.

Chen Mo looked at Tian Mengyao and asked, "Dr. Tian, did you rush over here so quickly because you were worried about me?"

Tian Mengyao's pretty face flushed, and she denied it. "Worried about you? Of course not. I... I was just afraid you'd mess around and affect the reputation of the Respiratory Department."

"Oh, I see." Chen Mo appeared a little disappointed.

Seeing Chen Mo's disappointed expression.

"Oh, don't be upset, I'm just teasing you," Tian Mengyao said to comfort him.

"Let's have dinner together tonight."

After saying this, Tian Mengyao shyly ran out of Chen Mo's consultation room.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. This felt like a date invitation!

Just as Tian Mengyao left Chen Mo's consultation room, her phone suddenly rang.

However, upon seeing the caller ID, the sweet smile on Tian Mengyao's face vanished.

"Mengyao, why haven't you been answering my calls these past few days?" a湇旔 (jiao shen - coquettish and complaining) voice asked from the other end of the line.

Tian Mengyao retorted, "Xixi, why wouldn't I answer your calls? Don't you know the reason?"

The one calling was Tian Mengyao's best friend, Xixi.

Xixi quickly apologized, "Mengyao, I really didn't mean to stand you up that day. After I called you, I was going to wait for you there, but then my car broke down, and my phone died. You can ask the 4S shop about this. I waited by the roadside until past one in the morning for roadside assistance."

"Mengyao, with our relationship, do you think I would have any reason to lie to you? Everything I'm saying is true."

"If you still don't believe me, I... I'll take out my heart and show you. If there's any falsehood, may I..."

"Alright!" Before Xixi could finish her last word, Tian Mengyao quickly interrupted.

"Don't say such unlucky things from now on," Tian Mengyao said, displeased.

"Hehe, I knew it! My Mengyao is the best to me and wouldn't be angry!" Xixi immediately laughed.

"But don't think you can get away with it so easily! That day, if it weren't for... Hmph, thinking about that day makes me angry!" Tian Mengyao stopped short of revealing the details of that day.

Xixi quickly apologized, "Mengyao, I know I was wrong. How about this, I'll book a table at Sol Restaurant tonight and treat you to your favorite steak as an apology, how about that?"

"I can't tonight, I have plans."

"Plans? Mengyao, I heard you broke up with Xue Yang. Have you found someone new so quickly?" Xixi teased.

"That's my colleague," Tian Mengyao quickly corrected.

"Okay, okay, colleague, colleague," Xixi replied perfunctorily.

Tian Mengyao couldn't be bothered to explain.

Xixi said again, "But you have to give me a chance to apologize in person. When are you free? I must treat you to a big meal!"

Tian Mengyao thought for a moment. "How about the weekend? I'm off this weekend."

"Oh!"

Suddenly, Xixi let out a coquettish cry.

"What's wrong?" Tian Mengyao asked suspiciously.

Xixi hastily explained, "I just twisted my ankle."

"Be careful," Tian Mengyao cautioned.

"Okay, I'll contact you this weekend then. Muah."

After saying this, Xixi hung up the phone in a hurry.

Tian Mengyao shook her head helplessly, put away her phone, and then walked towards her own consultation room.

Meanwhile, in a hotel suite in Longhua.

Xixi, her face flushed, said, "Young Master Xue, I almost let Mengyao hear that just now. It was so embarrassing!"

Saying this, Xixi quickly pushed away Xue Yang on the bed.

Xue Yang smirked, "Isn't this more exciting?"

"Oh! You're so naughty!" Xixi playfully hit Xue Yang.

"How was it?" Xue Yang didn't continue teasing Xixi but instead inquired.

Xixi said, "I made plans for the weekend. I don't want to rush things too much, or I'm afraid Mengyao will become suspicious."

"Damn it, that b*tch! This weekend, I'll definitely make her wish she were dead!" Mentioning Tian Mengyao, Xue Yang couldn't help but show a flicker of anger.

"Young Master Xue, don't worry. I'll definitely get her drunk that day. Actually, I also want to see what someone so reserved is like in bed."

Saying this, Xixi couldn't help but let out a wicked grin.
