"Dr. Hua, how can we let you pay? Xinxin should treat you. You've been working hard recently, and I need to ask you to arrange the surgery time for my husband."
Ning's mother quickly said.
At this moment, on the hospital bed, Ning's father's brows furrowed slightly. He was old and experienced, and could clearly see the doctor wanted to court his daughter. Pursuing his daughter was fine—beautiful girls are sought after—but if he used his daughter's worry for his illness to chase her through such means, it showed a lack of character.
"It's nothing, Auntie, it doesn't make sense for a girl to pay. Xinxin, let's say seven tonight, I'll wait for you at the restaurant opposite the hospital."
Hua Zhouquan said to Ning's mother, then looked at Ning Xin, smiling.
"Hmm, okay."
Ning Xin nodded. This was arranged under the guise of discussing her father's condition, which she clearly couldn't refuse. Just then, she glanced at Qin Yang.
"Dr. Hua, can my boyfriend come with me?"
Ning Xin said.
"Boyfriend?!"
Hua Zhouquan finally turned his gaze to Qin Yang, his face immediately darkening. Earlier, his focus was entirely on Ning Xin.
"You have a boyfriend?"
Hua Zhouquan's expression turned very unpleasant.
"Yes, this is my boyfriend, Qin Yang. Can he accompany me?"
Ning Xin asked.
"He doesn't understand medical matters, it'll be useless for him to come."
Hua Zhouquan gave Qin Yang a look, then looked again at the youthful and bright Ning Xin. Despite being upset, he quickly resolved to persevere. Having a boyfriend is no obstacle; if the efforts are persistent, there's no corner that can't be pried.
"Dr. Hua, as far as I know, once doctors discover a benign tumor, they usually operate immediately. The timeframe is generally within three days. Are your hospital's doctors really so busy? Scheduled more than half a month later?"
Qin Yang's face had a hint of mockery, staring at Hua Zhouquan, he spoke.
Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, Ning's father, Ning's mother, and Ning Xin all directed their gazes on Hua Zhouquan.
Hearing this, Hua Zhouquan's face twitched slightly, seeing that Ning's father, Ning's mother, and Ning Xin were all looking at him with puzzled expressions.
Hua Zhouquan retorted angrily, "What do you know as an outsider? Naturally, the sooner a benign tumor is removed, the better. Our hospital has other surgeons who can perform the surgery for Uncle Ning tomorrow."
"However, Director Liang has the most experience, and I'm considering Uncle Ning's condition by hoping he will lead, which minimizes surgical errors."
Hua Zhouquan appeared entirely focused on Ning's father's health, speaking.
"Oh, so there are other doctors who can perform the tumor removal surgery? Why didn't you mention it before? Also, about Director Liang, I'd like to see if his schedule is indeed booked half a month out."
Qin Yang said coldly.
"Exactly, Dr. Hua, can we meet Director Liang? I've been in the hospital for five days and haven't seen him yet."
Ning's mother added.
Upon hearing this, Hua Zhouquan's face changed slightly, he'd never reported Ning's father's surgery to Director Liang. He just wanted to wait a few days to see if he could win over Ning Xin while Ning's father was ill.
If Ning's father had surgery, rested for a few days, he could be discharged, then how could he win Ning Xin?
Then, Hua Zhouquan quickly adjusted, responding sincerely to Ning's mother, "Auntie, rest assured, I'll discuss tonight with Xinxin regarding when Director Liang can perform the surgery. After all, there are two or three surgeries waiting for Director Liang's guidance daily, his schedule is very tight."
"Is that so? Then thank you, Dr. Hua, hoping Director Liang can operate on my husband soon."
Hua Zhouquan's explanation seemed reasonable, although Ning's mother found it odd that he needed to discuss surgery times with her daughter, she said no more.
Seeing he had won Ning's mother's trust, Hua Zhouquan turned, looked at Qin Yang, his mouth curled into a pleased smile.
This smile was conveniently hidden from Ning's father, Ning's mother, and Ning Xin, only Qin Yang and Uncle Zhang, who sat on the middle bed, saw it.
"Sir, would it be possible for you to step out? The patient needs rest, and there shouldn't be too many people in the room. Just Auntie and Xinxin can stay to take care."
Dr. Hua looked at Qin Yang, smiling slimly, hmph, openly asking you to leave, what can you do about it!
"What if I don't leave?"
Qin Yang raised a brow.
"I'm the doctor; I decide who can stay in the hospital room!"
Hua Zhouquan's face darkened; he approached Qin Yang threateningly.
"Cough, besides, Uncle Ning's illness requires quiet recovery, aiming for a good state before surgery, so too many people aren't appropriate."
Hua Zhouquan's voice returned to normal, insinuating if Qin Yang cared about Ning's father's health, he should step out.
"Dr. Hua, it's okay, he's Xinxin's boyfriend, I'm happy he's here; it doesn't affect my condition."
Ning's father on the bed furrowed his brow slightly, speaking.
Even if anyone came to visit, they came with good intentions, how could they be driven from the hospital room? Moreover, this young man was Xinxin's boyfriend.
"Yes, I like this kid too."
Ning's mother also said.
"Uncle, Auntie, too many people in the room can indeed be inappropriate, it also disrupts other patients."
Hua Zhouquan glanced at the other two occupied beds, speaking.
Seeing Hua Zhouquan mentioning disturbing other patients, Ning's mother became unsure of what to say.
"Doesn't bother me."
Uncle Zhang in the middle bed spoke up.
"Nor me."
The patient closest to the window chimed in.
For a moment, Hua Zhouquan's face was troubled.
"Regardless, too many people aren't fit for the room."
Hua Zhouquan turned to Qin Yang, speaking gravely, implying 'young man, if you're wise, you'll leave.'
"Indeed, too many people aren't fit for the room, then perhaps Dr. Hua could open the door."
Qin Yang nodded, speaking.
"Qin Yang, you can't go."
Ning Xin immediately said.
"Hmph, you wised up."
Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, Hua Zhouquan coldly snorted inside, disregarding Ning Xin, he immediately went and opened the door.
"Go ahead."
Hua Zhouquan pointed outside, addressing Qin Yang.
Qin Yang stepped forward, but stopped barely a meter from Hua Zhouquan, then lifted his foot, landing a kick on Hua Zhouquan's behind.
Whoosh~!
Hua Zhouquan flew up, tracing a small arc in the air, landing with a "thud" on a garbage bin in the corridor, which overturned, Hua Zhouquan sitting in the trash heap.
"Considering too many people aren't fit for the room, it's better if you roll out."
Qin Yang cast a casual glance at Hua Zhouquan perched on the garbage, then closed the hospital room door.
