The phone rang several tis, but no one answered.
He Qianhui decided to head back, her body still not having recovered from the passion of last night.
Zhang Hao went back to properly rest, as he had a three-day holiday ahead, which he couldn’t afford to waste.
anwhile, Zhang Hao, who had just co out of the operating room, was instructing the family about the patient’s post-surgery situation.
Before he could finish, Qin Miaoke dragged him away.
The remaining matters had to be handed over to other doctors to handle.
Being pulled along by Qin Miaoke, Zhang Hao kept asking what was the matter.
Regarding the matter, Qin Miaoke was vague and hesitant, unwilling to speak directly.
It was not until they reached a secluded spot that Qin Miaoke finally disclosed her concerns.
Elder Qin had always been keen on matching her with Zhang Hao—one was his favorite granddaughter and the other was the apprentice he took under his wing halfway.
No matter what the future held, the Qin family’s dical heritage would not be passed on to outsiders.
Most importantly, Zhang Hao’s character had been personally tested by him.
Good or bad, Elder Qin was quite confident, believing his granddaughter would never suffer if she ended up with him.
However, Zhang Hao played dumb about this matter.
There was always sothing missing for the matchmaking to be finalized, and later on, Qin Miaoke also wised up; since he wasn’t interested, there was no fun in forcing him.
Qin Miaoke did not have marriage on her mind and aspired to work hard in her career.
But... Elder Qin was still worried and road around trying to find a suitable man for her.
It must be said that, highly respected in the dical community, Elder Qin only pointed her toward outstanding individuals who would be coveted by anyone in a crowd.
It just so happened that Qin Miaoke wasn’t interested, yet the good man, persuaded by Elder Qin, had already taken a flight over today.
They had agreed to et after work, and Elder Qin had already shown the man her picture; his first impression of Qin Miaoke was not bad.
Thus, it was now Zhang Hao who was confused. If she did not want to et the man, she could just refuse.
So why drag him into this?
"So why have you dragged here now?"
Qin Miaoke, with her arms crossed, looked quite disgruntled, "I don’t want to go tonight, but my grandpa insists that I must et him. Why don’t you co with ?"
Zhang Hao inwardly cursed. How could he get involved in this kind of thing?
"I’m not going. Do you think I’m your sidekick or what? I have to go ho for dinner tonight."
Qin Miaoke didn’t catch the subtext in his words and patted her chest confidently.
"I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!"
At that mont, Zhang Hao’s gaze was very subtle as he looked down at Qin Miaoke.
He thought the girl must have so kind of disconnect; he had made his words clear, yet she still hadn’t understood.
Qin Miaoke, filled with gratitude, thought that for such a small matter, Zhang Hao had no reason to refuse.
It would only occupy an hour of his ti, maybe even less.
Afterwards, she would treat him to a al as a token of thanks. He wouldn’t lose out in any way.
"I’m not going."
Zhang Hao thought since a tactful refusal wasn’t getting through, he’d have to be more direct.
Qin Miaoke was shocked, realizing things were heading in an unwelco direction. She froze on the spot.
"You... What did you say? If you don’t go, what am I supposed to do?"
"I don’t know, try asking soone else."
As for finding soone else in the hospital, Qin Miaoke truly couldn’t think of another suitable candidate on the spot.
She had no choice but to hold Zhang Hao’s arm and act coquettishly.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, just agree to do this for once, okay? If you’re worried your girlfriend will find out and be upset, I’ll call her right now."
"I’ll explain the whole situation to her, and since she’s a woman, she should be able to understand how I’m feeling right now."
This ti it was Zhang Hao who was at a loss for words; he couldn’t even begin to imagine what was going through this girl’s mind.
Pulling his arm free, Zhang Hao still looked at her seriously.
"I really can’t help you with this. There are so many people you could ask for help in the hospital; if it cos to it, just have the head of surgery go with you."
Qin Miaoke hastily shook her head in refusal.
And she didn’t forget to sneer a little; the head of surgery was already thirty-five, and at first glance, one could see he was a family man.
If she really let him pretend to be her boyfriend, that man would definitely see through it.
"Just help this one ti, I promise there won’t be a second ti."
Zhang Hao always felt it was better to mind his own business than to get involved in such matters.
Besides, it was Elder Qin who had arranged the matchmaking date for Qin Miaoke. If he got involved, he might end up getting scolded by Elder Qin soday. Why bother!
So he spoke earnestly and at length, trying to make it clear to Qin Miaoke that he was powerless to assist her.
After all, it was just a matter of eting the family. It’s not like they were going to imdiately proceed with engagent, marriage, and having children.
Elder Qin’s earnest advice was aid at giving his granddaughter the opportunity to et more outstanding n.
In the end, Qin Miaoke still ca up with a bad idea.
Initially, to rebel against her grandfather’s arbitrary decisions, she had played the role of a bad girl for a while.
It wouldn’t be too much to, prior to the matchmaking dinner, go ho and pick out a couple of goth outfits and style her hair differently.
At least that would darken the impression she made on him; after all, everyone says "marry a wife for her virtue." It’s unlikely anyone would want to bring a crazy girl ho.
Qin Miaoke suddenly felt that doing this was pretty pointless.
In the end, it would just be like throwing dirt on herself.
One day, if she fell for a man other than Zhang Hao,
she absolutely couldn’t let him know about this dark history.
Zhang Hao returned to his office, saw a few patients, and then prepared to go ho from work.
Just as he was shutting down his computer, soone knocked on the office door.
Looking up, Zhang Hao saw a young man with a scholarly appearance.
His clothes were simple, and he looked like the kind of bright young guy who had just stepped out of a university gate.
"Hello, may I ask who you’re looking for?"
"Is there a nurse nad Qin Miaoke here? I’m here to see her."
Qin Miaoke, who had not yet left work, was in the treatnt room tidying up.
Separated by a door, she didn’t notice what was happening outside until Zhang Hao knocked on the door.
Qin Miaoke then ca out, "What’s up? Are you assigning work after hours?"
Zhang Hao was about to point toward the office entrance: "Soone is looking for you."
Qin Miaoke glanced in the direction of the office door; in an instant, she hid behind Zhang Hao.
"Damn it, how did this guy find here? Didn’t we agree to et at the restaurant?"
Hearing Qin Miaoke’s quiet grumbling, Zhang Hao also realized that this man must be the one she was supposed to et for the matchmaking.
"Okay, my na is Chen Xun. I know it’s a bit abrupt to co here, but I just got a call that my advisor needs back at the university urgently."
