“I didn’t ask if she’s pregnant. I wanted you to check if she’s okay.” Li Shengxiao’s sculpted facial features complemented his aristocratic aura. The razor-sharp gaze was an invisible pressure on the doctor.
The young doctor was not afraid of Li Shengxiao. He turned around and placed the patient’s chart aside. “Boss, such a pretty lady and you just want me to check if she’s hurt from the accident? That’s a bit unbelievable.”
Li Shengxiao gave the doctor a glance and ignored him.
Cui Jiangjing said dramatically, “When you called, I was having a candlelight dinner with my 108th true love. According to my calculations, we should be moving on to the next base and contributing to the human population tonight. You called at such a crucial moment and asked for my medical expertise. I abandoned my baby and ran through three red lights to find out that the patient is a random woman you ran over. This is too much.
“My sons, my daughters, my children, Daddy is sorry for delaying your conception.”
The rant gave Li Shengxiao a headache and he growled. “Shut up.”
Cui Jiangjing moved closer to Li Shengxiao and asked persistently, “A beauty like her, are you sure there’s no special relationship between you?”
“She’s just a random passerby we crashed into.”
Cui Jiangjing clutched his chest and made a pained expression. “Then, where did the child come from? Usually, there’s not a female mosquito around you. Now, we have a lady here, yet you claim no special relationship with her. How did you even end up with a five-year-old ahead of all of us? What’s the science behind this?”
Li Shengxiao had been asked the same question by so many in the past few days. His eyebrows instinctively furrowed and he stood. His figure and countenance were comparable to that of a model. “Charge her treatment to my card. When she wakes, bring her to my place. Tell her, I can fulfill one request of hers so long as it isn’t too preposterous.”
“Hey! You’re not leaving this beauty with me.” Cui Jiangjing quickly grabbed Li Shengxiao before he could leave.
Li Shengxiao cocked an eye and glared impatiently at Cui Jiangjing. “You want me to take her?”
Cui Jiangjing noted the displeasure on Li Shengxiao’s face and was mildly afraid. However, Cui Jiangjing fought for his self-interest. “Yeah. Why don’t you take her home?”
The temperature in the room dropped. For his survival, Cui Jiangjing explained, “From the assessment, it seems she just fainted from the crash. My mother is coming to the hospital for an inspection later. You know how she is, if she finds out that I took in a beautiful female patient in the middle of the night, she’ll make up all sorts of theories. You should take her back to your place. She just needs a night of rest.”
Cui Jiangjing’s heart raced. He knew Li Shengxiao was extremely repulsed by women. It was almost impossible Li Shengxiao would take in the woman.
Li Shengxiao had a secret. As the heir to the Li family, he differentiated himself from other men by keeping a low profile and avoiding scandals for years.
Hence, the sudden appearance of a son nearly moved Mrs. Li to tears—she was ready to offer up the giant incense sticks as gratitude to the gods.
Based on the man’s track record, if the child had not shown up, the Li family lineage would have ended with Li Shengxiao.
“Brother, take her with you. I don’t want to be nagged by my mother. Also, you’re the one who caused the accident, so the responsibility is rightfully yours. Boss, come on, help your brother out here.”
Li Shengxiao’s first instinct was to reject the request.
However, after watching his good friend beg with such a pitiful expression, he turned to study the pale-faced, obedient-looking woman who laid unconscious on the hospital bed. His thin lips parted. “Send her to the Country Garden.”
Cui Jiangjing was touched. He quickly ordered the staff to transfer the patient. “Brother, why don’t you go the extra mile and take her back in your car?”
“Cui Jiangjing!” Before Li Shengxiao’s temper could flare, Cui Jiangjing wiggled out of the room like a slippery mud fish.
“It’s settled then! I’m leaving! Bye~”
