Chapter 423: Chapter 423

In an instant, Feng Chengyue was moved; as her crystalline eyes shifted, she couldn’t control the tremor of her heartbeat.

Without hesitation, she quickly stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Qiu Mingyan’s neck, and planted a big kiss on his cheek with a "smack."

The action was abrupt, yet it left Qiu Mingyan momentarily stunned, and he broke into a negligent smile.

Qiu Mingyan’s smile was captivating, his clean-cut looks akin to a white-clothed youth stepping out of a comic book. Perhaps due to the stringent hygiene demands of his profession as a doctor, his entire being exuded a faint freshness from head to toe, paired with his handsome features, making him a heart-throbbing, top-tier handsome man.

Qiu Mingyan smiled, and Feng Chengyue followed suit with laughter.

After a pause, Qiu Mingyan sighed and said, "You, you’re the world’s biggest trickster. Why do you pull off this act on me?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Chengyue laughed and buried her head into his shoulder, "Otherwise, waiting for you, this fool, to pursue me might take a lifetime, right?"

Understanding that Feng Chengyue had noticed that he liked her too, Qiu Mingyan chuckled helplessly and shook his head, "This act was a bit too excessive."

"What was excessive?"

"You said it was the last time you’d send me..." This was what softened his heart fundamentally.

"Isn’t it?" Feng Chengyue chuckled faintly, and mischievously raised an eyebrow at Qiu Mingyan.

In an instant, Qiu Mingyan realized something, "You wouldn’t..."

Feng Chengyue curled her lips, stood up, and took a purse from the bedside table. She pulled out a set of keys and a driver’s license, waved them in front of Qiu Mingyan, and said, "Starting tomorrow, you’ll be sending me. The car is your boyfriend’s meeting gift to me. Whether you want it or not, you have to drive this car to send me to work. As for the driver’s license... Driver Qiu, please graciously accept?"

At that instant, thinking back to the police station, when Feng Chengyue had exchanged glances with the captain, Qiu Mingyan understood the extent of the little demon’s cunning. The whole thing was a setup from the start...

Qiu Mingyan chuckled out of frustration, and covering his eyes resignedly, he said, "Is it worth it to abduct a boyfriend that nobody wants?"

"It depends on who you’re abducting. Besides, if nobody else wants him, doesn’t that mean there’s no competition? I have strong possessiveness, just like my brother... I think it’s quite worth it." Feng Chengyue laughed and buried herself in Qiu Mingyan’s arms.

In an instant, the two laughed even deeper.

After a pause, seeing that it was almost 1 a.m., Feng Chengyue naturally couldn’t leave.

Qiu Mingyan nudged her arm, trying to get her to sleep while he went to the next room.

After all, for the first night together, sleeping together seemed... not quite right.

But before he could sit up, the phone rang.

Answering it, in that moment, the words made him furrow his brows quickly.

"Doctor Qiu, are you asleep? Come to the hospital quickly! Young Master Liang fell down the stairs; his tailbone is severely shattered, the impact of his weight broke two ribs, and his skull hit the floor tiles, head bloodied. By the time the primary nurse found him, he’d lost too much blood and is now in shock! Hurry over; immediate surgery is needed!"

In a frantic voice from Nurse Little Chu, Qiu Mingyan’s eyes instantly turned cold.

Southern Fourth Hospital.

Late at night, many gathered outside the emergency room.

Mr. Liang, along with Liang Yichao’s brother Liang Bingchao, showed up, and so did some of Mr. Liang’s old comrades, people Liang Yichao called uncle.

In the corridor, crowds stood bustling.

Given the severity of Liang Yichao’s condition, Mr. Liang had to sign a liability waiver for the critical illness notice right upon arrival.

This weighed heavily on everyone’s faces, each clad in black, adding a solemn, terrifying aura to the hallway. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel{f}ire.net

On another side, near the red emergency light, Feng Chengjin and Gu Zixuan arrived together.

Feng Chengjin happened to be on the phone with Mr. Liang that evening.

The latest news came through while he was discussing with Mr. Liang about how to deal with Ms. Liang from the North, when someone on Mr. Liang’s side frantically shouted the news to him.

When Mr. Liang’s side hung up, Feng Chengjin thought about it, deciding to come over for a look.

Unexpectedly, while changing clothes, the restless Gu Zixuan, awakened by the fact that Feng Chengjin wasn’t sleeping beside her, also decided to come along.

At the moment, nurses and on-duty doctors hurriedly carried blood bags, saline bags, and other items into the operating room, preparing for the surgery.

That hasty footfall, coupled with the arrival of Mr. Liang and Feng Chengjin, and some local department heads drawn by proximity, made the emergency room’s night uniquely tense.

At the side, Gu Zixuan had dialed Yu Wei’s number for the Nth time, but it was always turned off, which concerned Feng Chengjin for Gu Zixuan’s health as they made eye contact.

Gu Zixuan shook her head; Feng Chengjin understood, nodding.

He softly stroked Gu Zixuan’s hair and glanced far toward Mr. Liang and the others before whispering, "Did anything unusual happen when you left this afternoon?"

Gu Zixuan thought carefully, then shook her head, "No, at the time Yu Wei was there. I returned Angela to Liang Yichao, who was very happy. Not long after, he called a junior to take Angela to Yu Mansion to raise; Yu Wei didn’t object. When I left, only Yu Wei and Liang Yichao remained. From their appearance, Liang Yichao seemed to greatly enjoy being alone with Yu Wei, and moreover..."

Gu Zixuan paused, seemingly recalling something, and whispered, "Liang Yichao seemed excited about our impending marriage, frequently looking at Yu Wei..."

In that instant, seemingly realizing something, Feng Chengjin’s deep eyes narrowed slightly.

He glanced sideways at Mr. Liang and the waiting crowd.

Quietly, he pulled Gu Zixuan’s hand and said, "Come on, without making a fuss, let’s go take a look at the ward..."
