Chapter 290 — I'll Die to Show You
Liu Xinwen sighed. She had never imagined that a girl as beautiful and outstanding as Tang Yun would face the danger of having her man stolen... But one glance at Guan Xin, who was no less lovely than Tang Yun, cute in her nurse's uniform, a uniform temptation... what man could resist her?
"Yunyun, don't worry. If he dares to cheat and fool around, I'll knock his teeth out!" Liu Xinwen raised her fist fiercely and whispered in comfort.
"Heh..." Tang Yun could not help laughing. Liu Xinwen was indeed tough, but could she beat Wei Zhao? One slap from him could send Zou Ruoming flying!
Tang Yun shook her head. Was she too nervous? Was Wei Zhao really that good? Would anyone really compete with her for him? Besides, she and he could hardly be called boyfriend and girlfriend in the true sense, just a little close, that was all. If he really came to like Guan Xin, there was nothing she could do. She could not shamelessly cling to him, could she?
"Boss, you're something! Confess honestly, is there something going on between you and little sister Guan Xin?" Kang Xiaobo was no fool. Seeing how warm Guan Xin was toward Wei Zhao, he naturally thought of certain things.
"'Little sister' my foot! She's older than you!" Wei Zhao glared at Kang Xiaobo. "It's nothing. I met her when I came here to have my dressings changed after I got hurt. We get along pretty well."
"Hurt? Where were you hurt?" Kang Xiaobo cackled, his eyes beginning to sweep over Wei Zhao.
"You little punk!" Wei Zhao smacked the back of Kang Xiaobo's head and wasted no more words on him, walking over to Guan Xin in a few strides. "About my friend, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."
Having someone he knew in the hospital, even just a nurse, made everything much easier. Wei Zhao knew that well. He could not call Old Guan to solve every little thing, could he? For big matters, maybe, but for small ones, a nurse could handle it.
"It's nothing... it's what I should do." Guan Xin blushed slightly, a little embarrassed. "I... I won't affect things between you and your girlfriend, will I..."
Seeing Tang Yun's unhappy face, Guan Xin felt flustered. Though a few years older than Tang Yun, she was still just a girl fresh out of school, hardly more mature. At this moment she worried a little that Wei Zhao might grow distant from her because of Tang Yun...
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled. "No, you won't."
In the ward, Guan Xin hooked up Xiao Fen's IV drip and hurried off. Though she wanted to stay and talk a little more with Wei Zhao, she was responsible for other wards as well. Giving patients their shots and medicine was serious business that brooked no delay, and Guan Xin knew what mattered most.
So when Kang Xiaobo and Liu Xinwen urged her to stay for lunch, Guan Xin waved her hand in refusal. "I really have several more wards to cover. You go ahead and eat. I'll eat later!"
Tang Yun, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed now. She wondered if Guan Xin felt awkward because she and Wei Zhao were here. With a woman's natural sensitivity, she could sense Guan Xin's slight interest in Wei Zhao. But seeing how eager Guan Xin was to draw a clear line, Tang Yun felt bad instead. They were all women, why make things hard for another woman? If Guan Xin liked Wei Zhao, that was her business. Besides, she had not shown anything openly, so why should Tang Yun be so aggressive?
Tang Yun had watched Guan Xin running around for Xiao Fen, so after a moment's hesitation, she stood up. "Sister Guan Xin, why don't we all eat together?"
"Thank you," Guan Xin smiled. "Patients can't be kept waiting, but eating is a small matter. How about this, when Xiao Fen is discharged, you treat me to a big meal?"
"That works too," Tang Yun nodded and pressed her no further. It seemed she had overthought it. Guan Xin really had business and could not stay.
Watching the sentimental Tang Yun, Liu Xinwen sighed. Yunyun had really fallen deep. In the past, how could she ever have fretted over such things?
Xiao Fen was delighted that everyone had come to see her together at noon. After a few days apart, Wei Zhao found that Xiao Fen had become much more cheerful and talkative, able to share jokes with everyone. The ward rang with laughter.
Of course, almost all of this was Kang Xiaobo's doing. Every day he stayed here tirelessly, chatting with Xiao Fen and telling her about things happening at school.
"Wei Zhao, I never thought you'd be the school bully!" Xiao Fen had naturally learned about Wei Zhao through Kang Xiaobo. "You'd better not bully Yunyun! Otherwise, none of us will let you off!"
"Hehe, I won't," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Those words, you should be saying to Kang Xiaobo, shouldn't you?"
Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Xiao Fen grew shy and lowered her head slightly.
After lunch, Liu Xinwen went to the washroom to clean the food containers and dishes. Kang Xiaobo sat by Xiao Fen's bedside, hesitant, clearly wanting to bring up the weekend gathering.
Wei Zhao took Tang Yun's hand. Tang Yun trembled slightly and shot him a reproachful glance. "Why are you pulling me..."
"Xiaobo has something to say to Xiao Fen. Let's go over there." Wei Zhao pointed to the bed opposite.
"Oh..." Tang Yun only then noticed that Kang Xiaobo really did seem to have something to say, so she ignored the hand Wei Zhao was holding and the two of them sat down on the opposite bed.
Though they were a little distance away, they could still hear what Kang Xiaobo said.
Kang Xiaobo told Xiao Fen about his Second Grandpa's birthday, and naturally mentioned Kang Zhaoming. For the first time, Xiao Fen learned of Kang Xiaobo's background. He was actually that man's cousin?
Kang Xiaobo invited Xiao Fen to attend Second Grandpa's birthday banquet with him. Xiao Fen hesitated, head bowed, nervous and at a loss...
Tang Yun had not expected Kang Xiaobo to make such a bold decision, to bring Xiao Fen to a family banquet, and one where Kang Zhaoming would be present!
Looking at Xiao Fen's nervous, hesitant manner, Tang Yun felt sympathy for her, but at this moment she could say nothing.
"If you ever treat me the way Kang Zhaoming treated Xiao Fen... I... I'll die right in front of you!" Tang Yun did not know where the courage came from. She suddenly turned her head, looked at Wei Zhao, and said word by word.
"I..." Wei Zhao froze.
"I don't want your promise." Tang Yun cut him off. "Kang Zhaoming made promises to Xiao Fen too, but he abandoned her! But I'm not Xiao Fen. Have you really thought it through? If you ever leave me, I really will die to show you!"
As Tang Yun spoke, she glared fiercely at Wei Zhao, as if she could devour him.
