In the morning, according to the Blue Star Technology Company's plan, the company relocated to a new address. Xia Mingyue didn't explicitly express his hope for Ye Xiao to attend the inauguration ceremony, but Ye Xiao could sense from Xia Mingyue's expression that Mr. Xia really hoped he would attend. However, Ye Xiao didn't attend, just as he had said before. He was out in the open while the enemy remained hidden. If the enemy attacked Ye Xiao during the ceremony, the relocation ceremony of Blue Star Technology would inevitably become a joke. After all, as a subsidiary of the Xia Group, Blue Star Technology was quite famous in the Jinling District.

As Blue Star Technology was busy with the relocation all morning, Ye Xiao left and headed to a definite destination, the State Hospital.

Yesterday Yan Luo's mother had a successful surgery, but she hadn't fully passed the critical period. Thus, Ye Xiao felt he should pay a visit.

Near the State Hospital, Ye Xiao bought a fruit basket and carried it with him. If it were an ordinary person visiting someone gravely ill, they would probably buy something more expensive. However, Ye Xiao felt that was rather pretentious. It was better to keep it simple. Besides, Ye Xiao believed that Yan Luo wouldn't mind him bringing only a fruit basket.

Perhaps it was fate's arrangement. When Ye Xiao walked into the State Hospital, he happened to see Han Ruoxi in a white lab coat, chatting and laughing with two nurses as if discussing something.

"Hi, Ruoxi," Ye Xiao initially did not intend to greet Han Ruoxi. After all, she disliked him, so why stir up trouble? However, Ye Xiao didn't know the exact location of Yan Luo's mother's ward, and he needed someone who knew, certainly, Han Ruoxi was the best person to ask. Most importantly, Han Ruoxi was within five meters of him.

Han Ruoxi, hearing someone call her name, immediately looked up. However, when she clearly saw that it was Ye Xiao calling her, she thought, "Why is it this guy again!"

The two nurses also noticed Ye Xiao at that moment. Ye Xiao, holding a fruit basket and dressed in a formal suit, looked quite sharp. Yet, what captured their attention most was that this man called Doctor Han "Ruoxi."

Even the few highly respected male doctors at the State Hospital didn't dare to address Doctor Han so casually. These young nurses, always prone to wild imaginations, wondered if there might be some relationship between this man and Doctor Han.

Han Ruoxi looked at Ye Xiao. Although she was annoyed by Ye Xiao calling her "Ruoxi," she didn't say anything because she had colleagues around her. Instead, she asked, "What do you want?"

Ye Xiao asked, "Could you tell me where Yan Luo's mother's ward is?"

"Room 808!" Han Ruoxi coldly replied.

Ye Xiao thanked her and then left directly.

After Ye Xiao left, Han Ruoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why, but she really disliked conversing with Ye Xiao. She always felt she could never reason with him, possibly because he was too good at twisting arguments, Han Ruoxi thought.

Just then, Ye Xiao's voice reached her from behind again, saying, "Ruoxi, I'm heading off. Let's have dinner again another day."

Han Ruoxi stood there, obviously stunned.

The two nurses also watched Han Ruoxi's reaction.

Han Ruoxi quickly turned to look, but Ye Xiao was already far away.

At this moment, Han Ruoxi could feel the curious glints in the nurses' eyes. Obviously, they were very interested in whatever relationship might exist between her and Ye Xiao.

Although Han Ruoxi had achieved significant success in the medical field, she was still young, not yet twenty-four. She got along well with other female doctors and nurses of her age in the hospital. So, seeing these two young nurses looking at her with such suggestive expressions, she quickly explained, "There's nothing between us."

Hearing Han Ruoxi's clarification, the two nurses instantly said, "We didn't say you two had anything going on! Even if you did, we'd keep it a secret for you."

Keep it a secret? Hearing this, Han Ruoxi felt a chill. Could these two really keep a secret? They were the type who loved gossiping typically.

Han Ruoxi hastily said, "You're thinking too much, it's really not what you imagine, I assure you."

"But you mentioned having dinner again," one nurse, very keenly, seized the most crucial word in Ye Xiao's previous statement, "again."

Han Ruoxi immediately replied, "We haven't had dinner together."

"But, if you haven't had dinner together before, why did that guy use the word 'again'? Alright, although we weren't top students in Chinese classes back in our school days, we still understand what 'again' means. It suggests that there has been a first time. Come on, Doctor Han, why be shy about it?" The two nurses became more excited as they seemed to have pinpointed the crux.

Listening to the nurses, Han Ruoxi felt as wronged as Dou E.

"You're not allowed to talk nonsense, it's all made up."

"Okay, if you say it's nothing, just prove it to us. You won't dare, will you? Since you can't prove it, hehe!" The nurses, grinning slyly, continued talking.

Han Ruoxi saw the smiles on these two people's faces and immediately felt a tingling on her scalp. Had she forgotten to check her horoscope before leaving the house today?

"I... I have to prove it," Han Ruoxi seriously said to the two nurses.

The nurses looked at each other and chuckled, saying to Han Ruoxi, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Pretend it never happened, okay? You're getting too worked up."

Han Ruoxi clearly saw belief in the eyes of these two nurses—they completely believed this fabricated story. She immediately said, "Come with me!"

"Where to?" Zhang Duo and Li Fen asked, puzzled.

Han Ruoxi seriously said, "To show you how wrong your guesses are."

Han Ruoxi then headed toward the direction Ye Xiao had just left.

Originally, Zhang Duo and Li Fen were just joking and guessing. However, seeing Han Ruoxi reacting so strongly piqued their interest even more, so they quickly followed her.

As for Ye Xiao, the hospital was quite busy at the moment, but Ye Xiao, nimble as he was, dodged left and right through the crowd, soon arriving at the hospital building and skillfully took the elevator to ward 808 on the eighth floor.

This was a VIP ward, and it seemed like the entire eighth floor was made up of VIP wards.

He knocked on the door, and it was quickly opened by a middle-aged woman—one of the caregivers Ye Xiao had met the previous day, who recognized him.

Ye Xiao's arrival immediately made Yan Luo, who was just about to sleep in a small bed next to him, get up.

"Brother Xiao!" Yan Luo saw Ye Xiao and hurried over, taking the fruit basket from his hands.

Ye Xiao glanced at the old lady on the bed, who was currently sleeping, and smilingly asked Yan Luo, "How is the old lady?"

"Just moved here from the ICU two hours ago. The doctor said my mom has stabilized and just needs rest," Yan Luo explained truthfully to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "That's good. Let's not disturb the old lady. Let's talk outside."

Yan Luo nodded, and they both walked out of the ward.

No sooner had they stepped out than Yan Luo immediately said to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, Doctor Han!"

Ye Xiao, hearing this, instantly looked puzzledly in the direction Yan Luo was pointing—indeed, Han Ruoxi and those two nurses were approaching. Han Ruoxi looked quite upset, even cold, but the two nurses were giggling as if they found something very funny.

"Ye Xiao, tell them what our relationship is," Han Ruoxi said as soon as she approached, glaring at Ye Xiao with a very unfriendly tone.

Ye Xiao looked at Han Ruoxi and then at Zhang Duo and Li Fen, lightly chuckling, and said, "How should I put this."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Han Ruoxi became even angrier, glaring furiously at him and said, "How to say it? Just tell the truth, and also, did you tell them that we had dinner together?"

Ye Xiao must have understood by now that Han Ruoxi had been misunderstood by these two nurses, hence she came to find him to clear things up, especially since Han Ruoxi had genuinely helped him the previous day. Thus, Ye Xiao decided to help Han Ruoxi avoid any misunderstanding.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "Okay, okay, don't get angry. Is telling the truth not enough? We have no relationship, and we haven't eaten together, I swear to the heavens."

However, as soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking, Zhang Duo immediately said to Han Ruoxi, "Doctor Han, you're so fierce, you've scared your boyfriend! Although, society today mostly has strong women and weak men, isn't this too much bullying? Handsome guy, if you think Doctor Han is too tough, I can struggle and take over her role—after all, I am very gentle."

Zhang Duo was clearly joking, and Li Fen quickly added, "Duoduo, what are you doing? Are you openly trying to steal her man? Doctor Han has been good to us.

"Zhang Duo immediately adopted a remorseful demeanor, saying, "This young woman admits her mistake and will definitely change."

The back and forth between Zhang Duo and Li Fen really made Han Ruoxi even more uncomfortable. However, she did not resent Li Fen and Zhang Duo, but her resentment towards Ye Xiao grew, because she knew that everything was due to Ye Xiao's so-called 'swearing to the heavens.'

"I'm not done with you!" Han Ruoxi glared at Ye Xiao with gritted teeth and then turned around and walked away!
