After Annuling, She Seized the World's Heart

What the hell was Mr. Gu up to?

Qiao Nuan could not understand how things had developed to this point. She was only here on a voluntary visit as a patient’s family member and a volunteer doctor, they were having a good chat just now.

Why did that Gu Cheng start to say something incomprehensible in less than five minutes?

Seeing Qiao Nuan pretending to be confused and innocent, Gu Cheng felt frustrated.

“Stop pretending you don’t understand.” Gu Cheng leaned forward and pinched Qiao Nuan’s delicate chin with his slender fingers. He approached her and threatened her.

“A kind person who helped to stop a human trafficker? A doctor who is skilled in medicine but doesn’t have a medical license? Your character is too rich.”

“So you’ve been suspecting me?” Qiao Nuan was so angry that she laughed and sneered, “Mr. Gu, are you delusional? If you suspect that a stranger has ill intentions toward you, and if your heart is so fragile, you’d better stay at home and play with dolls!”

After saying that, she raised her hand and brushed the man’s hand away.

Although Gu Cheng dodged her hand, he was still hit by her finger. He was immediately shocked by her unusual strength.

“Your skills, your medical skills… And your unusual concern for my son can’t stop me from suspecting you.”

Gu Cheng’s face was cold as he leaned back in his chair. “In order to avoid any more misunderstandings, please try not to appear in front of me, Miss Qiao.”

She clenched her fists! If it weren’t for the fact that there was a terminally ill old man lying on the bed in the hospital ward, Qiao Nuan would definitely teach this self-righteous man a lesson!

“It just so happens that I was thinking the same thing. Please stay far away from me in the future. I don’t want to be infected with paranoia!”

Not long after, Liang Jing returned. He had already instructed the pharmacy to brew the medicine. When he returned to the ward, he keenly realized that the atmosphere between Qiao Nuan and Gu Cheng was a little strange.

The two of them seemed to have exchanged several rounds while he was out grabbing the medicine. It was really puzzling.

Qiao Nuan was impatient to look at the sharp-tongued and pretentious man, Gu Cheng. She said goodbye to Liang Jing, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. I’m not a proper doctor either. Don’t look for me again if you have any medical problems.”

Liang Jing did not understand why Qiao Nuan was suddenly unhappy. However, as a martial nephew, he only needed to be respectful to his Junior Martial Uncle. “Yes, I’ll have to trouble you this time. I’ll send you out.”

As a respected figure in the medical world, Director Liang rarely treated people with such courtesy. Gu Cheng felt that it was a little strange. When Liang Jing sent Qiao Nuan away, he personally escorted her out.

Qiao Nuan rolled her eyes at Gu Cheng and walked at the front in an imposing manner.

She first went to pick up the child from the handsome doctor, Huo Ting’s office.

Seeing Qiao Ning’s face and clothes covered in ink, Qiao Nuan felt her blood pressure rise in an instant.

Qiao Nuan hugged her head in despair. “Qiao… Xiao… Ning! Were you rolling in ink? How did you end up like this?!”

Qiao Ning giggled and shamelessly ran over to hug Qiao Nuan’s calf. “Mommy, I accidentally knocked over Mr. Huo’s inkstone…”

Huo Ting’s hands were full of ink as he looked at Qiao Nuan and Qiao Ning apologetically. “I was practicing calligraphy earlier and didn’t put away the inkstone properly. Xiao Ning touched it. I’m sorry, I didn’t take good care of the child.”

Qiao Nuan stretched out a finger and held Qiao Ning’s head in disgust to prevent him from rubbing the ink on his face on her body.

She even had to divert her attention to appease the innocent Dr. Huo. “Dr. Huo, it’s my turn to apologize to you. My child has caused you trouble.”

“No, Xiao Ning is very cute.” Huo Ting smiled gently. “Even though there was a small accident, it was all an enjoyable experience for me.”

“Qiao Ning, my little friend, you’re fortunate that Mr. Huo has a good temper. Otherwise, you would have been beaten up today!” Qiao Nuan smiled gratefully at Huo Ting and then lectured Qiao Ning. “Did you apologize to Mr. Huo Ting?”

“I apologized…” Qiao Ning squirmed around, but in the end, he still shrank into Qiao Nuan’s arms as he wished. “Mr. Huo has also forgiven me. Mom, I like Mr. Huo so much. Can you let Mr. Huo be my dad?”

Qiao Nuan covered Qiao Ning’s mouth and smiled awkwardly at Huo Ting. She felt like she had nothing left to live for. “Dr. Huo, the child is just joking. Don’t take it to heart.”

“It’s okay.” Huo Ting arched his eyebrows and smiled breezily.

Qiao Nuan was startled by this smile. She thought to herself, ‘This Dr. Huo is really gentle. No wonder Qiao Ning wanted him to be his father after just a short while.’

“Is this your child?”

After observing him carefully for a long time, Gu Cheng finally couldn’t help but ask, “Can I take a closer look at his appearance?”

Qiao Nuan came back to her senses and snorted, “Why would I show you, my child? Don’t you have a child at home?”

Gu Cheng was speechless.

His heart was in a mess. Although the child’s face was stained with ink, his little curly hair and uncannily similar features to Gu An’s made Gu Cheng’s heart pound!

Why did this child look like Xiao An?!
