Chen Fan smiled and said nothing.
Seeing the smile on Chen Fan's face, Qin Shuran guessed what was happening. She chuckled helplessly, no wonder Lian Wenxin's attitude towards Chen Fan had changed so drastically. It turned out Chen Fan was the one who caused Lian Wenxin's injuries.
Lian Wenxin breathed a sigh of relief now that his nephew was finally out of the hospital.
He even dared to bet that if his nephew stayed in the hospital any longer, his fate would be dire. Perhaps one day, his nephew would throw him into the river to feed the fish!
At this moment, Chen Fan glanced at the surrounding medical staff and instructed, "Everyone, return to your posts and continue your work."
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, they all dispersed. In a moment, only Chen Fan and a few others remained in the corridor.
Lian Wenxin looked at Chen Fan nervously, "Director Chen, please don't listen to that brat's nonsense. I, I really..."
Before Lian Wenxin could finish speaking, Chen Fan interrupted him, "I actually prefer you the way you were before, that arrogant, look-down-on-everyone attitude."
"Ah?" Lian Wenxin's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
He thought Chen Fan was still angry and was deliberately saying this to mock him.
Lian Wenxin hadn't recovered from the fear of the day. Hearing Chen Fan's words, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down, "Director Chen, I, I truly know I was wrong. I really didn't say those things; it was all that brat's arrogant claims. Don't worry, I'll break his legs when we get back!"
Chen Fan, however, suddenly shook his head. "No, no, no, I'm not joking with you."
As he spoke, Chen Fan took a few steps forward and whispered a few words into Lian Wenxin's ear.
Lian Wenxin's eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Fan with disbelief.
"Understood?" Chen Fan asked, looking at the stunned Lian Wenxin.
Qin Shuran and Zhao Qianqian, standing behind Chen Fan, were filled with confusion. They had no idea what Chen Fan had said to Lian Wenxin to make him so shocked.
Lian Wenxin nodded quickly.
He swallowed and pretended to compose himself, clearing his throat a few times. "Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
He put on a displeased expression and waved at the three of them, "What are you three standing here for? Hurry back to work!"
Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction, while Qin Shuran and Zhao Qianqian looked puzzled, unsure of what these two were up to.
"Understood, Vice President Lian." Responding, Chen Fan turned and led Qin Shuran and Zhao Qianqian back to his consultation room.
Seeing Chen Fan and the other two leave, Lian Wenxin held his head high and looked around to see if anyone was paying attention.
Only then did he wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and hobble towards the ward.
"What did you say to Lian Wenxin just now?" Qin Shuran asked curiously as she entered Chen Fan's consultation room.
Chen Fan smiled calmly. "It wasn't much. I just felt that his current demeanor is unaccustomed. It's his former rebellious self that I find familiar and comforting."
"Hehehe!"
Zhao Qianqian couldn't help but laugh. "Director Chen, if someone didn't know better, they'd think you have a masochistic tendency."
Then, she checked the time and said, "Alright, it's time to get off work. I'll do my rounds and then go for dinner. I won't disturb your midday rest, you two lovebirds."
With that, Zhao Qianqian left the consultation room.
Qin Shuran's face turned red upon hearing that.
Seeing Zhao Qianqian leave, Chen Fan, also noticing it was lunchtime, asked Qin Shuran, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Let's just grab something at the cafeteria."
"Minmin called me today."
"Did she call about something?" Chen Fan asked.
Qin Shuran frowned slightly. "Minmin called today and said she went to the Qin family villa. She accidentally overheard Second Uncle on the phone. It seems like your actions have disrupted some of their original plans. Because of this, another one of his companies lost a lot of money, and they intend to hold you responsible for all of it."
"I'm worried that Second Uncle and his family might do something against you."
Chen Fan smiled faintly and pulled Qin Shuran into his arms.
"Hey, what are you doing? This is a consultation room." Qin Shuran's face turned even redder, and she tried to break free.
"It's after work hours. Can't I hug my fiancée?"
Qin Shuran seemed displeased. "I'm talking about important matters. We've completely fallen out with Second Uncle's family this time. They won't just let it go."
"I recall you mentioning that before the family split, your clan didn't allow engaging in other businesses, right?"
"Yes." Qin Shuran nodded.
"Then why does your Second Uncle have another company?"
Qin Shuran shook her head; she didn't know much about family affairs.
Seeing the anxiety on Qin Shuran's face, Chen Fan comforted her, "Don't worry. As I said before, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. You should have more confidence in your fiancé."
"What fiancé? Did I say I was going to marry you?" Qin Shuran pulled away from Chen Fan's embrace, giving him a playful glare.
Chen Fan reached out and pulled Qin Shuran back into his arms. "What, are you going back on your word? I'm telling you, the entire hospital knows I'm your fiancé now. You have to take responsibility for me until the end."
Qin Shuran's face was already a deep shade of red. She looked at Chen Fan shyly and whispered, "If you say so, then so be it. It's not a big deal."
"You said that."
Chen Fan leaned down, about to kiss Qin Shuran's lips.
However, at that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Qin Shuran, like a startled rabbit, quickly pushed Chen Fan away.
"Ahem, ahem."
"Uh, Director Chen, I, I didn't see anything. Please continue."
Suddenly, an awkward cough came from the doorway.
It was Zheng Hairong. He had his back turned and was about to leave the consultation room.
He also looked embarrassed, not expecting Chen Fan and Qin Shuran to be in the consultation room.
Chen Fan looked at the doorway with a helpless expression.
The mood was completely ruined. How could he continue...
"Dr. Zheng, is there something?" Chen Fan finally asked.
Zheng Hairong turned around with an apologetic look. After all, in surgery, they would often just push the door open without knocking.
"It's like this, a lady brought a child, and she said she's looking for you," Zheng Hairong explained.
"A woman and a child are looking for me?" Chen Fan was taken aback.
That sounded rather awkward.
Qin Shuran also looked at Zheng Hairong in surprise.
Zheng Hairong quickly continued his explanation, "She said you diagnosed her child with lupus erythematosus and wants you to treat him."
Chen Fan remembered the case. "Yes, there was such a matter. Have them come over."
Zheng Hairong nodded and then left Chen Fan's consultation room.
"I'll go get you some food. And from now on, no more of this in the consultation room!" Qin Shuran stomped on Chen Fan's shoe in embarrassment and fled the room.
Chen Fan looked at the footprint on his shoe with a helpless expression.
"Wife, why is the doctor you mentioned seeing patients in a psychiatric hospital? Can he really cure our son's illness?"
At that moment, a man outside the door asked anxiously.
