In Garden Cafe, a waiter brought two cups of Iced Americano, disrupting the tense atmosphere between the two of them.

Qu Xiao stirred the coffee stick, and the ice cubes collided with the glass, making a soft sound. She suddenly raised her head and stared at Shang Xinchen and asked fiercely, "Shang Yan is my husband. Of course, I'm more eager than anyone else to cure his leg disease."

"I don't understand why you and Shang Liqing have so many doubts about me! What exactly are you guys worried about?"

Shang Xinchen was speechless. He then lowered his head to look at his contact list before sending a phone number to Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao looked at him inexplicably and silently waited for Shang Xinchen to explain. "This is the phone number of a professor from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at A University. He has a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. Perhaps he can help you."

Qu Xiao looked online for information about the professor according to what Shang Xinchen said.

Shang Xinchen looked at her and could not help but remind her again, "He's quite picky. He is only willing to help and answer the questions of A University students. He refuses to meet anyone else!"

"I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for you to contact him."

As Qu Xiao read about the professor online, she read that he had won some research awards and seemed to be very well-established.

However, he wasn't a doctor.

Qu Xiao silently pondered in her heart. Just as she was about to close the web page, she saw that the professor had an independent treatment room.

This professor looked very professional.

Her eyes rolled slightly as she weighed the pros and cons. She secretly thought that if she were to perform surgery on Shang Yan, she could let the professor be her assistant.

This would be a helpful to Shang Yan's treatment..

"If that's the case, I will get admitted to A university and propose a collaboration with him."

As Qu Xiao said this calmly, Shang Xinchen burst into laughter. "You? Get admitted to A University?"

high school! A University will never take bribes for admission!"

"Don't try to be a hero!"

Shang Xinchen waved his hand and said with a face full of disbelief, trying to dispel Qu Xiao's absurd thoughts.

Qu Xiao looked at him with a determined gaze. She crossed her hands on the coffee table and said with a smirk, "I'll have to trouble you to think of a way to help me with the transfer procedures!"

"Of course, if you refuse, I might not be able to control myself and tell Shang Yan about the police station situation..."

Shang Xinchen hurriedly stopped her from continuing. Resigned to his fate, he lowered his head and compromised, "Alright, I'll do it for you."

"But whether you can pass or not, it's not my business!"

"Every year, there are tens of thousands of freshmen who want to enter A University. With your current knowledge reserves, it's simply impossible."

Shang Xinchen realized that he could not understand what was going on in the mind of the woman in front of him. Occasionally, she was very smart and knew how to use leverage to coerce others to do things for her, but other times, she was so stupid and blindly confident.

Qu Xiao raised her head and looked at the pedestrians outside the window. She stretched her shoulders and drank the Iced Americano with a relaxed expression without a trace of worry.

On Friday, her phone's alarm rang.

Qu Xiao looked at the memo that reminded her of "Shang Yan's return to China," and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Although she had originally refused Shang Yan's request to pick him up at the airport, after these few days, Qu Xiao's resentment had already dissipated.

Qu Xiao, who was constantly checking the time, sat in front of the mirror and dressed herself up meticulously. She especially changed into an innocent-looking white dress and bought a bunch of flowers to give Shang Yan as a surprise at the airport.

At the exit of the airport, the families of the passengers on the same flight welcomed their loved ones. Only Qu Xiao was left standing alone with the flowers in her arms.

She repeatedly confirmed with the airport staff that all the passengers had safely landed on the ground. Her heart gradually became nervous.

Qu Xiao wanted to call Li to inquire about the situation, but for some reason, she felt an urge her to check on social media.

Five minutes ago, Qu Qi posted a picture in the hospital.

In the picture, Shang Yan, who was supposed to be at the airport, was sitting in front of the hospital bed, gazing at Qu Zhen with deep affection.

"CEO Shang's plane just landed, and he rushed over to see my sister. This warms my heart!"

Qu Qi's words stung Qu Xiao's eyes.

She threw the flowers into a nearby trash can and flagged down a taxi to go to the hospital with a gloomy face.

At the same time, Qu Qi looked at the WeChat Moments that only Qu Xiao could see, and the corners of her mouth curled up proudly.

"You must definitely be feeling so horrible right about now!"
