Wang Yao went to the hotel with his luggage . Chu Lian and Su Xiaoxue returned home together .
“Why doesn’t Dr . Wang want to stay in the cottage?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Dr . Wang stayed there previously because he came to treat you . So, it was appropriate for him to stay there ” Chu Lian said . “This time he came for a different purpose . Maybe he thinks it is not appropriate for him to stay there anymore . ”
Su Xiaoxue accepted the explanation . “Dr . Wang and I are going to have dinner together this evening . ”
“I know,” Chu Lian said .
“Auntie Lian, can you please book a table in a restaurant for me?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“OK, no problem,” Chu Lian said .
Beijing was huge and numerous restaurants for different purposes . Some were good places to discuss business . Some were suitable places to have dinner alone . Some were suitable for couples and friends . One would never lack choices in terms of restaurants in Beijing .
Song Ruiping didn’t say much after Su Xiaoxue returned . However, she was still a bit worried when seeing her daughter so happy .
Silly girl! she thought .
“Hmm, what should I wear?” Su Xiaoxue had too many choices .
Song Ruiping knocked at the door and entered the room . “What is wrong?”
“Mom, what do you think I should wear tonight?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“My daughter looks pretty in any dress,” Song Ruiping said .
“Alright . ” Su Xiaoxue still didn’t know what to wear .
“Just choose something simple and elegant,” Song Ruiping said .
Eventually, she helped her daughter choose a dress that highlighted Su Xiaoxue’s pretty legs . Her skin was as smooth as white jade . She looked stunning in the dress .
She also put on some makeup . This was the first time she had worn makeup after recovering from that horrible disease .
“How do I look?” Su Xiaoxue turned around in a complete circle in front of her mother .
“You look beautiful! My daughter is the most beautiful girl in this world,” Song Ruiping said .
After putting in extra effort to dress herself, Su Xiaoxue even looked more beautiful than ever . She was like a blooming flower .
Song Ruiping sighed .
“Almost time, I have to go now,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Be careful on your way,” Song Ruiping said .
“I know, Mom,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Look after her, Chu Lian . ” Song Ruiping didn’t forget to prompt Chu Lian .
“Of course, Ma’am,” Chu Lian said .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao was standing in front of the French windows of his hotel room looking at the busy streets outside . It seemed there were always many cars on the street, no matter what time or weather .
“Such a busy city!” he murmured .
No matter if seeing it on TV or with his own eyes, Wang Yao had to admit Beijing was one of the busiest cities in the world .
Beep! Om!
When he was looking through the window blank minded, his phone rang .
He picked the phone . “Hello!”
“Dr . Wang, we are here in the lobby,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“I’ll be right there,” Wang Yao said .
He hung up the phone, locked the door, and went downstairs . In the lobby, Su Xiaoxue attracted everyone’s attention .
“Hello, Ma’am, can I have your name?” a man asked .
“Sorry, no,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Within five minutes, four men had tried to approach Su Xiaoxue and say hello . One of them was a young man in a nice suit . One of them was a mature-looking middle-aged man . Another one was a bold man in his 50 who seemed to be very rich
Even the staff of the hotel praised Su Xiaoxue . “She is so pretty!”
“Yes, she’s even prettier than those movie stars,” a female employee said .
“Do you think she has had a plastic surgery?” her colleague asked .
“Which surgeon can make me so pretty?” the female employee asked .
“Exactly! I should find it out, too,” her colleague said .
Some people even secretly took pictures of Su Xiaoxue .
While people in the lobby were talking about Su Xiaoxue, Wang Yao came downstairs . He was dazzled . He spotted her immediately . She was too distinguished to be missed, like the moon in the sky or a peony in the grass . She could instantly attract attention from anyone .
“Dr . Wang!” Su Xiaoxue walked toward Wang Yao .
“What the!” Someone couldn’t help cursing .
“Seriously?” a man in the lobby asked .
“Look at him! What a country bumpkin,” a young man said .
“Is she blind?” another person asked .
“Sorry for keeping you wait,” Wang Yao said . He heard all the comments from those people in the lobby and just smiled .
“That’s fine . We have just arrived,” Su Xiaoxue said
“Just arrived? Does he know how long he has kept this beautiful girl waiting?” a man in his 30s asked . “This is unforgivable!”
“If I had such a pretty girlfriend, I would spend all my time with her,” a young man in his 20s said .
“Stop dreaming and drooping and wipe your mouth,” his friend said .
While everyone still felt envious or confused, Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue got into a luxurious car and left .
“I really don’t understand,” a young man in the lobby said .
A lot of people couldn’t understand .
“He must have done a lot of good things in his previous life to have such good luck in this life,” another man said .
“Dr . Wang, would you like to have Shandong cuisine?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Yes, but I don’t mind any other type of cuisines,” Wang Yao said .
He was not picky about food . Su Xiaoxue chose the best restaurant specializing in cooking Shandong cuisine since Wang Yao was from Qi province . The restaurant was also recommended by Chu Lian .
The restaurant didn’t look luxurious . People barely noticed it since it was among a lot of high buildings . However, the car park was full, indicating that it was a popular destination .
Wang Yao saw the restaurant was almost full once they were inside .
Chu Lian had booked a private room in advance . The room’s decorations were elegant .
The dishes were classical Shandong cuisine . Although Wang Yao was from Qi province, his first chance to taste authentic Shandong cuisine was in Beijing .
There were only him and Su Xiaoxue in the room .
“Dr . Wang, I think I have made progress with my practice of internal power,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Yes, I can feel it,” Wang Yao said .
“Do you have any hobbies when you are not seeing patients?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Hobbies… Hmm…” Wang Yao started to think .
He basically spent all his time seeing patients, growing herbs, and making herbal decoctions . They were his duties and hobbies . When he had nothing else to do, he studied medical books . It seemed that his life was really boring .
“Planting trees maybe,” Wang Yao said .
“Really?” Su Xiaoxue asked with surprise . “Planting trees?”
“Well, how should I put it?” Wang Yao suddenly felt embarrassed . He realized what he said was like a cold joke to Su Xiaoxue .
“In fact, I really want to travel around see those famous places in China to get some idea of the medical system of each place at the same time,” Wang Yao said .
He had wanted to travel around China since he studied in the university . He planned to take some time to travel after he had had a successful career so he wouldn’t regret the rest of his life . However, after he had graduated, he couldn’t find a good job . So, his plan was delayed . Now, Su Xiaoxue reminded him about this plan .
“You like traveling?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Yes, I do,” Wang Yao said .
“Me too,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Since they were both interested in travel, they found a topic they could talk about instead of just medicine or practicing internal power . Su Xiaoxue knew lot about travel . Before she had that horrible disease, she had been to many places . She was very chatty when she was with Wang Yao . She had never talked so much with anybody else .
However, she was still a bit nervous . After all, this was her first date with Wang Yao .
Wang Yao also had a special feeling when he was with Su Xiaoxue . She was beautiful and kind, and she told him how she felt about him without hiding . He had thought a lot about how he should interact with her before starting a relationship with her .
Since he also liked her, he decided to be with Su Xiaoxue as much as he could . He had made his mind up on that . He had come to Beijing because they missed each other .
“Dr . Wang, would you like me to take you to different places in Beijing tomorrow?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“OK, I still haven’t been to a lot of places here,” Wang Yao said .
Outside the private room, several young men were talking .
“Are you sure that pretty girl is in that room?” one of them asked .
“Yes, she is there . She’s absolutely stunning,” his friend said .
“Good, I should go inside to introduce myself,” one of the young men said .
“What are you doing?” Chu Lian stopped him .
“It’s none of your business,” the young man rudely said .
“You are also pretty,” another young man said . “I like a mature woman . ”
Chu Lian looked at these young man who were apparently drunk . “I want you to leave here right now . ”
“Why should we listen to you? Who the hell are you?” one of the young men rudely asked .
“Hey, would you like to go out with me?” his friend asked .
“Fine, shall we go now?” Chu Lian asked .
“What? OK! You guys wait here, I’m going out with this beautiful lady . She is my type . I’ll leave that younger one to you guys,” the young man said .
“I think you should all come with me . It will be more interesting,” Chu Lian said .
“Seriously? You have a heavy taste,” another young man said .
The drunk young men all followed Chu Lian out of the restaurant .
“Beauty, where are you going?” one of them asked .
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Ouch!” All the young men screamed and fell to the ground unconscious .
“Humph!” Chu Lian coldly said before walking back to the restaurant .
