"No, I'm really fine," Lin Xiao Tian also explained.
After the journey, he had calmed down considerably and had no worries about making a fool of himself.
"You're like this, and you still say you're fine?" Guo Lin Qing's eyes were slightly red.
"I said, he's fine," Xue Zi Yan interrupted directly.
Guo Lin Qing was stunned.
"Xiao Tian, who is this?"
Before Lin Xiao Tian could introduce her, Xue Zi Yan spoke first:
"Xue Zi Yan, General Manager of Jinyuan Grand Hotel. I'm Xiao Tian's friend."
"Friend?" Guo Lin Qing scanned Xue Zi Yan with her gaze.
The two women faced each other, and the air gradually filled with tension.
"My name is Guo Lin Qing. It's a pleasure to meet you," Guo Lin Qing said with a slight smile.
Xue Zi Yan politely extended her hand, and they shook hands.
Seeing the awkwardness of the situation, Lin Xiao Tian had no choice but to say he was going to the emergency room to check on things, which was actually an excuse to slip away.
"I'll go too, wait for me!" Xue Zi Yan immediately followed, and at the same time, she casually took Lin Xiao Tian's left arm.
Lin Xiao Tian was startled by Xue Zi Yan's sudden warmth. However, their relationship hadn't reached that point, so Lin Xiao Tian decided to subtly express his stance.
But before he could make a move, in the next moment, he felt his right arm being held.
"Lin Qing?"
"You're so badly injured, how can you not be supported? I'll help you!"
Guo Lin Qing looked righteous, and Lin Xiao Tian didn't know if she was sincere. After all, his right hand was injured, and Guo Lin Qing holding that side wouldn't help his injury at all.
"Lin Qing, my wound..." Lin Xiao Tian reminded her softly.
Although Lin Xiao Tian didn't care about such a minor injury, it was bleeding and still hurt. Moreover, Guo Lin Qing was holding his right hand, and it was inevitable that the wound would be touched while moving.
"Don't worry, I'm being careful!" Guo Lin Qing said very seriously.
But Lin Xiao Tian noticed that Guo Lin Qing kept looking at Xue Zi Yan while she was speaking.
And Xue Zi Yan had no intention of letting go either.
"Yes! You're so badly injured, how can you manage alone?"
Xue Zi Yan was also staring at Guo Lin Qing as she spoke.
Lin Xiao Tian was speechless.
They were treating him as an object of contention.
"Have you two considered that perhaps the person involved can manage alone?" Lin Xiao Tian asked tentatively.
"Of course not!" The two women said in unison, showing remarkable agreement.
Lin Xiao Tian gave up resisting.
Behind them, the medical staff who had brought Lin Xiao Tian there were completely bewildered.
Weren't they supposed to be taking Lin Xiao Tian to the emergency room?
What was going on?
And also, Doctor Lin's life was truly extravagant!
The male colleagues behind cast envious glances.
Emergency Department.
Flanked by the two women, Lin Xiao Tian finally arrived at the examination room.
"Oh! Doctor Lin, I never expected it to be you!"
The old doctor responsible for treating Lin Xiao Tian immediately recognized him.
"Heh, yes! I didn't expect it either," Lin Xiao Tian said helplessly.
"Looking at the injury, the treatment was quite timely. There shouldn't be any major problems," the old doctor quickly made his assessment.
But then he paused and looked at Lin Xiao Tian, asking seriously.
"Doctor Lin, do you think there's anything wrong with my diagnosis?"
"No problem."
Lin Xiao Tian looked at the old doctor strangely.
He was the patient now!
Why was the doctor treating him asking him about the treatment?
Who was the doctor here?
But what Lin Xiao Tian didn't know was that ever since the inspection team had come last time and Lin Xiao Tian had given them a thorough lecture, Lin Xiao Tian had become famous.
The doctors from the inspection team were all well-known doctors at the National Medical Hall and renowned figures in the medical community.
Yet, in front of Lin Xiao Tian, this group of people acted like schoolchildren, even being reprimanded by Lin Xiao Tian for some incorrect diagnoses.
In this context, the doctors in the clinic had an immeasurable increase in trust in Lin Xiao Tian's professional abilities. That's why the old doctor treating Lin Xiao Tian asked him for a second opinion.
Facing Lin Xiao Tian, who was like a textbook, he dared not be negligent.
"Doctor, do you want to check again carefully? Xiao Tian was acting very strangely at the hotel just now. His leg seemed injured too, and his stomach. I saw him clutching his stomach," Xue Zi Yan hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
Lin Xiao Tian really wanted to tell Xue Zi Yan that he wasn't clutching his stomach.
But he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Really?" The old doctor adjusted his glasses. "Doctor Lin, you mustn't hide your condition!"
At this moment, Guo Lin Qing, who was also standing behind, was stunned.
"The hotel? You were at the hotel?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Xue Zi Yan.
Lin Xiao Tian was brought here by Xue Zi Yan, and looking at Xue Zi Yan's alluring attire, could it be that Lin Xiao Tian had gone there with her?
"Yes! Xiao Tian was just with me at the hotel," Xue Zi Yan deliberately followed Guo Lin Qing's train of thought.
After saying this, she adjusted her clothes with a measured movement.
This action made Guo Lin Qing imagine even more.
Guo Lin Qing looked at Lin Xiao Tian, as if seeking an answer.
The atmosphere became awkward. Lin Xiao Tian looked at the old doctor in front of him and found that he had stopped talking. It was clear he wanted to eavesdrop on the gossip.
Lin Xiao Tian was speechless.
This old rogue was really too idle! At a time like this, he was still thinking about gossip. Shouldn't he at least be calling himself for an examination?
Lin Xiao Tian knew that if he didn't explain now, this would surely turn into a scandal after tonight.
"Actually..." Lin Xiao Tian wanted to say that nothing had happened between him and Xue Zi Yan. It was just that Xue Zi Yan saw he was injured and brought him to her office for treatment.
But before he could speak, there was a knock on the door.
This was the emergency room!
He figured a serious patient must have arrived.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but become serious.
Since he was here, he should contribute if there was anything to be done.
The old doctor stopped gossiping and got up to open the door.
But before he could even get out of his chair, the door was pushed open.
A beautiful woman in formal attire appeared before everyone.
Zhao Man?
Lin Xiao Tian was stunned.
He didn't expect Zhao Man to be here?
Wait, she wasn't here to cause trouble, was she?
Thinking of what had happened before, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Zhao Man scanned everyone and then fixed her gaze on Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but swallow, wondering how he should fight back if a fight broke out, so as not to hurt her.
But he didn't expect that as soon as Zhao Man arrived, she bowed to Lin Xiao Tian.
"Xiao Tian, I'm truly sorry. Auntie has misunderstood you."
"I was so foolish. How could I have misunderstood my daughter's boyfriend and... and done such a terrible thing..."
Zhao Man looked full of apology.
At this moment, the two women beside them were startled.
"Boyfriend?"
"Whose boyfriend?"
