C40 We Are Just Ordinary Friends
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not as handsome as the boss! " Gu Xiaotao knew his own limitations.
To be honest, before he came, he did not expect her to be the beauty on the 38th floor.
However, he didn't have any excessive thoughts about meeting a beauty by chance. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be the lady of the boss.
"Nothing much. I just..." Hai Xiaomin concealed her expression, "I'm just not used to it."
No matter how he looked at it, he was at most a doctor who was not skilled. Usually, he would run errands and deal with some scratches. She was not used to him suddenly becoming a professor, and he even played with high-end technology with ease.
"Umm, are you okay?" Hai Xiaomin rolled her eyes and tried to look at the shiny instruments on her head. She could not help but ask carefully.
Gu Xiaotao was stunned and finally understood why Hai Xiaomin's expression was not right.
"Are you doubting my ability?" He angrily gritted his teeth.
Men were most afraid of women saying that they could not do it. For Gu Xiaotao, even if you said that he was not good at sex, you could not say that he was not good at work!
"Ha! Why would I think that?" Hai Xiaomin laughed dryly. One look and one could tell that she was guilty.
Gu Xiaotao cursed in his heart. He had been crowned as a genius since he was born. His path of growth was accompanied by all kinds of halos. He had obtained the qualifications of a professor several decades earlier than the others, and he had earned the favor of the LY under the envious gazes of countless people. The only failure in his life... It was because he met a boss with no conscience. Sometimes, Tang Xuan did not even think of him as a talent. When Tang Xuan needed him, he would come over. When Tang Xuan did not need him, he was abandoned by Tang Xuan.
What was even worse was that the boss' woman actually directly questioned his ability to work!
Very good!
He grinded his teeth and did not say anything. With a gloomy face, he began to work. This was also the experience he gained from working with Ling Yao. With his mouth, he would never be able to win against Ling Yao in this lifetime. He could only use his own ability to prove that his strength was the correct way.
Unfortunately, he didn't get a chance to show off this time.
"It's fine. She only had a slight concussion. The nightmare was because she was scared. She just needs to go back and take some medicine to rest for a while," Wang Yao said. Gu Xiaotao put away the instrument and said goodbye to Tang Xuan and the others. He used the excuse that he was busy with work to reject the invitation from the hospital to stay and discuss academics. He was ready to go back.
As soon as he walked into the elevator, Tang Xuan caught up with him. "Professor Gu, let me see you off."
When the elevator descended, Gu Xiaotao saw Tang Xuan's hesitant face and smiled. "If you have any questions, just say them."
"Is her body really fine? Does she still need to do a full body check? Not only at night, even if she takes a nap at noon, she will be woken up by nightmares and will have a headache when she wakes up. " Tang Xuan frowned and carefully thought about Hai Xiaomin's symptoms, afraid that he would miss out on some important information.
Gu Xiaotao looked at him calmly and raised his eyebrows. There was a deep meaning in his eyes. Then he patted Tang Xuan's shoulder. "Don't think too much. If she really has a disease that even I can't diagnose, then no one can save her. Don't worry!"
On the other side, Hai's father had been thinking about something from the beginning.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?"
Hai's father heard her and looked at Hai Xiaomin as if he had made a decision. He said with a serious face. "Xiaomin, answer me honestly. What do you think of Tang's thoughts about you?"
"Mr Tang's thoughts?" Hai Xiaomin was puzzled. "What thoughts does he have?"
"He likes you! You brat, I can already tell. Why are you pretending to be stupid?" Hai's father pretended to be unhappy.
"Dad, don't talk nonsense. Mr Tang and I are just ordinary friends." Hai Xiaomin was shocked. What was going on? It was not enough for Tang Xuening to talk nonsense. Why did her father also talk nonsense about this matter?
Hai's father looked outside the door. Tang Xuan had not returned yet.
"Ordinary friends? I have asked other doctors about it. The employees of LY have signed a confidentiality agreement. If not for the company's agreement, the internal employees are not allowed to work part-time in other companies. For example, professor Gu Xiaotao. All the big hospitals invited him to a lecture and sent him dozens of invitation letters. No one had been able to invite him. Tang Xuan invited him here for you. Do you think an ordinary friend can do this? "
Hai Xiaomin was stunned. Firstly, she was surprised by Gu Xiaotao's ability and secondly, she was also surprised by Tang Xuan's move. She rubbed her hair with an uncomfortable expression and answered haltingly, "Mr Tang knows the general manager of LY. Maybe it's just a passing mention. It's not as hard as you think. "
"Okay! Let's just say they know each other. Let's not talk about this first. Let's just talk about Tang Xuan's performance during the few days you were hospitalized. " Hai's father suddenly became serious about this matter." These few days, Did he go to the hospital every day? "
"Xuening is next door." It was normal for big brother to care about his sister.1
Hai's father realized that he was really old. He was actually unable to refute his daughter. He became anxious and shouted in a low voice, "Tang Xuan will stay next door for ten minutes. Stay here for a few hours. You take an afternoon nap. He watches over you. When you fall asleep at night, he also stays very late before leaving, afraid that you'll have nightmares and no one by your side. If Tang Xuan didn't like you... Did he stay in the hospital for so long because he was sick?"
That's right, he had a kind of illness, and that was unilateral love for her.
Outside the door, Tang Xuan happened to hear Hai's father's words. He was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he leaned against the wall outside the door.
He wanted to know if he could hear Hai Xiaomin's reply.
Hai Xiaomin was shocked for a long time before she slowly digested this information.
It was not that she did not feel Tang Xuan's care for her these few days. She just did not dare to think in that direction. Did Mr Tang really like her?
"Dad, maybe you are thinking too much. How could Mr Tang like a woman who is engaged to someone else?" That's right! With Tang Xuan's rigid character, he would definitely not cross this moral bottom line.
"Maybe." Hai's father let out a small sigh.
Outside the door, Tang Xuan lowered his head and clenched his fists. Then, he heard a voice breaking the harmonious atmosphere.
"Brother? Why are you standing here and eavesdropping?" Tang Xuening narrowed her eyes, looking like a detective who had smelled the signs of a crime. She put away her things and was about to meet up with Hai Xiaomin and the rest when she saw Tang Xuan eavesdropping.
"Shut up!" Tang Xuan would always be so direct and straightforward with his sister who gave him a headache.
The four of them gathered together and took the elevator with them with the things they had packed. They went down to the parking lot on the first floor.
"Tang, let's go to our house for dinner tonight. Your auntie has prepared a table of good dishes and is waiting for us to go back." Hai's father warmly invited the Tang family siblings to dinner. These few days, the two families had become familiar with each other in the hospital and had become closer to each other.
"Sure! Last time I said I wanted to visit uncle and aunt, but I haven't had the time yet!" Tang Xuening was not shy at all and hurriedly said.
Tang Xuan glared at her sternly and Tang Xuening stuck out her tongue mischievously. He was more helpless. "Since it is Uncle Hai who invited us, we will gladly accept it."
Hai's father looked at him and nodded in satisfaction. No matter what, Tang Xuan acted humbly and respectfully. Then, he thought of something again, and his eyes became gloomy.
"Uncle, Xiaomin!"
At this moment, the heavens seemed to have heard his thoughts. In the blink of an eye, he heard Qiao Tianqi's voice!
The four of them followed the voice and saw Qiao Tianqi getting off the car. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and the joyful atmosphere immediately froze.
