CHAPTER 772: CHAPTER 772: GOT COMPLAINED ABOUT

Li Huan stepped out from behind the pillar.

Ren Xiya crossed her arms, "How did you know I was here?"

Li Huan said, carrying something, "I asked Chen Jin. Why didn’t you let me come out just now?"

When that man got handsy, he wanted to rush out, but Ren Xiya’s gaze stopped him.

Ren Xiya took two steps to the side and lit a cigarette.

"Do you think I’m an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl? Or are you trying to play the hero? I’ve seen many men like that. If I can’t handle such trivial matters, how can I do my job?"

"That’s not what I meant." Li Huan explained.

"I know you’re not that kind of person. What do you want from me?"

Ren Xiya stood not far away, keeping some distance between them.

Li Huan saw she wasn’t willing to come closer, so he walked over himself, immediately hit by a strong smell of alcohol.

"How much did you drink?"

"If you’re going to preach then..."

Before Ren Xiya could finish, Li Huan took off his backpack and brought out water and hangover medicine.

"Hurry up and take the medicine. You can have a dessert later."

"You..."

"What about me? I knew you would drink, so I bought you medicine on my way here."

Li Huan placed the water and medicine into Ren Xiya’s hand.

It wasn’t until then that Ren Xiya reacted and swallowed the medicine.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the cake box on the ground.

"Is this the dessert you mentioned?"

"Yeah, strawberry. I’m not here to lecture you; I want to explain my relationship with Doctor Gu." Li Huan said sincerely.

Ren Xiya was a bit unaccustomed.

She was used to deceit and manipulation. Having someone suddenly treat her like this, she didn’t know what to say.

Li Huan explained Gu Yingxi’s situation.

"The teacher wanted me to help out as much as I could. She’s quite capable, and hiring her is good for the hospital—promotion and raises aren’t far off for me."

"Li Huan, you really are... surprising, but you don’t need to explain to me; there’s nothing that needs explaining between us anyway."

"Even though our relationship might be somewhat improper, we still have a relationship—to make things clear is better, right? If you don’t believe me, I can provide a health check report."

"Li Huan, shut up, you’re so noisy." Ren Xiya rubbed her temple.

"Do you believe me?"

"Yeah, can I eat now?" Ren Xiya said.

"You can, but I have to head back to the hospital. You can take it back to eat."

Li Huan handed the bag to Ren Xiya.

Ren Xiya took it and pursed her red lips.

"I’ll wait for you at the apartment."

Li Huan was momentarily stunned, then smiled, "Sure, after all, you know the password."

"Yeah."

Ren Xiya clutched the bag tightly; it felt heavy.

Li Huan happily returned to the hospital, and once his shift resumed, his colleagues teased him.

"So, are you in love?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You were downcast a few days ago, clear sign of a fight, and today you’re so cheery. Have you made up?" A colleague asked.

"Stop talking nonsense." Li Huan smiled and shoved his colleague.

"You didn’t deny it, so I got it right."

Laughing and joking, the two headed to the office.

Just as Li Huan sat down, a message from Ren Xiya popped up.

"I’m gonna shower and sleep first, wake me when you’re back."

"Just sleep, I’m not a beast."

"I would like to. Why? Women aren’t allowed to enjoy?" Ren Xiya replied.

"..."

"Waiting for you."

After reading, Li Huan felt a rush of heat and hastily drank half a glass of water.

Putting the glass down, he remembered he still had to find the missing report for Lin Zhiyi.

He began searching his desk for the report but couldn’t find it.

Opening the drawer, he recalled the previous incident with Liu He, just like Lin Zhiyi, their attention had been diverted.

Thus, he had forgotten about it.

But he clearly placed it here; it couldn’t have vanished.

He could only ask the nurse, "Who else came into my office?"

"No one, Doctor Li; didn’t you say not to move your things?"

Just as the nurse finished, another young nurse remembered something.

"Oh right, Doctor Gu came by, she brought you food. Doctor Gu just started night shifts at the hospital, her daughter came too."

Speak of the devil.

"Daddy Li." Nina rushed towards Li Huan.

The young nurses chuckled at the sight.

Gu Yingxi pulled Nina back, "Nina, don’t be impolite."

Nina nodded, peeking at Li Huan’s hands and the office behind him.

"Daddy Li, where’s my cake?"

"Nina." Gu Yingxi stopped her, looking helplessly at Li Huan, "She heard you brought her a strawberry cake and got too excited to sleep."

"Huh?" Li Huan was surprised.

Gu Yingxi laughed, "What’s wrong?"

Li Huan was a bit embarrassed but didn’t want to lie to the child.

"Sorry Nina, that cake was for someone else. I’ll get you one another time."

Nina seemed a bit disappointed.

Gu Yingxi’s smile slightly faded, "You don’t have to take what kids say seriously."

Li Huan wasn’t bothered and quickly changed the subject, "Doctor Gu, did you see a patient’s file on my desk?"

"Patient’s file? You mean what was piled next to the takeout boxes?"

"Yes, yes."

Li Huan was busy; he hardly had time to eat, so he ordered takeout.

Sometimes he’d take a few bites and then have to see patients, leaving it aside and forgetting.

Gu Yingxi said, "I saw some, but they were crumpled and had oil stains. You piled them with the takeout boxes, so I thought you were going to throw them away, and helped clean up."

"You..."

Li Huan almost cursed but took a deep breath and held it in.

He said, "Uh, in the future, don’t touch my stuff. Those are materials I need to review."

Gu Yingxi explained, "You know the doctor’s office is subject to hygiene checks. If it fails, patients might complain. I was worried you’d get complaints, so I cleaned up."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

"Sure."

Gu Yingxi tugged Nina, who was reluctant to leave.

Li Huan returned to the office, flipped through his stuff, and nothing was missing.

He could only call a colleague in the gynecology department.

"Can you send me another copy of Fu Shu’s file?"

"Bro, spare me, someone reported me for leaking patient privacy. Luckily, it didn’t get out, otherwise, I’d be finished!"

"Huh? Who reported you?" Li Huan asked surprised.

"Probably someone who wanted me to find out the fetus’s gender. I’m so unlucky, I have to be assessed this month too."

"Alright then."

Li Huan felt embarrassed to ask any further.

But then his colleague surreptitiously said.

"Wait, I remember making an extra copy when I last photocopied, I didn’t dare keep it in the office and took it home instead."

"Alright. Please look for it at home for me."

Li Huan hurriedly hung up and called Lin Zhiyi.

"Did you find it?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

"It’s gone."

Li Huan explained, and there was silence on the other end.

After a while, Gong Chen’s voice came through.

"Do you think Gu Yingxi did it accidentally or on purpose?"

"That... I’m not sure. Besides, our hospital does conduct hygiene checks, I was once fined for forgetting to throw away takeout boxes."

Li Huan doesn’t like to assume the worst of people.

Besides, Gu Yingxi returning and finding a job wasn’t easy, so there was no need for her to do such a thing.

He said, "I will keep my distance from her."

Lin Zhiyi continued, "Could it have been Fu Shu who lodged the complaint?"
