Chapter 10: Your Fiancé Has Arrived

Ye Chuyi ignored the group of people behind her, entered the office, turned on the computer, and confirmed the patient's case and CT one last time. Then, she changed into a white lab coat and headed to the surgical floor.

In the operating room, her mentor An Huadong, who had taught her for many years, as well as her fellow disciple Chi Cheng, were already waiting for her.

Seeing her, An Huadong breathed a sigh of relief, "My Anxin disciple has finally arrived. Only when you are here can I truly be at ease!"

Lin Chuyi felt helpless. It was precisely because her teacher incessantly called her "Anxin" that everyone thought that was her real name!

The surgery was initially designated to be performed by her senior brother Chi Cheng, but the teacher was not at ease. After much deliberation, he decided to appoint her as the chief surgeon.

"Teacher, you love ordering me around too much. Senior brother is capable of performing the surgery, and he would do it very well. You insist on having me do it; are you afraid I have too much free time?" she said.

"Your senior brother is capable, but he can only achieve ninety percent. This patient is quite elderly, and his tumor has grown together with his lung. To perfectly peel it away without damaging his lung, only you can do it. You can achieve one hundred percent," he replied.

An Huadong uttered the phrase he had said most often since he met Lin Chuyi, "Your hands are steady; I have never seen steadier."

Chi Cheng stood to the side, his position as the lead surgeon taken by Lin Chuyi, with no complaints. In the face of overwhelming strength, all jealousy and resentment were delusional.

And Lin Chuyi had become so formidable that he had no inclination to resist. He only wanted to prostrate himself at her feet, to become a stepping stone on her path forward.

After all, even the strong teacher had long become Lin Chuyi's stepping stone, and the teacher was happy about it, preferring to have Lin Chuyi perform all the surgeries rather than letting other students fail and tarnish his reputation.

Her teacher, An Huadong, was a prominent figure in the medical field, 70 years old this year. He had never married or had children, dedicating his life entirely to the medical profession. He was a legend in the medical world, a textbook-level icon revered by all medical students.

It was such a luminary who, after discovering Lin Chuyi's talent, broke his own rule of never using privileges. He bypassed numerous obstacles at the school, forcibly transferring her from the Nursing College to the Medical College.

And Lin Chuyi did not let her teacher down. In eight years, including five years of undergraduate and three years of master's studies, she never wasted a day. With her exceptional talent and one hundred percent effort, she underwent a qualitative leap and became the most outstanding doctor that her teacher could rely on.

However, Chi Cheng seriously suspected that the teacher called his junior sister "Anxin" every day out of some selfish motive—after all, "Anxin" also bore the surname "An", sounding like his own granddaughter.

The surgery lasted one and a half hours, and An Huadong was very relaxed throughout, chatting with one person for a while and then another, not at all worried that he might affect Lin Chuyi.

In fact, Lin Chuyi was indeed not affected in the slightest. She consistently performed the surgery excellently, stepped down from the operating table, changed her clothes, and left the operating room.

An Huadong followed her with Chi Cheng, "Anxin disciple, where are you heading afterward? You're not going to abandon us and run off to help at your boyfriend's hospital, are you?"

Lin Chuyi, recalling what she did days ago at Qi Yunfan's hospital, laughed, "I was just there to help out with odd jobs. I didn't perform any surgeries, so you don't have to worry about our hospital losing the spotlight to theirs."

"Look at you, do you think I am that petty? You really didn't perform any surgeries for their hospital?" he asked.

"Really not. They don't know I am your student. I was just filling in forms and cleaning over there," she replied.

Having broken up yesterday, Lin Chuyi felt quite miserable. However, today she suddenly felt a sense of relief, and she could even say with a laugh, "I've broken up with him, so I won't be going to his family's hospital anymore."

"Broken up?" he asked.

An Huadong's eyes lit up, "That's great! Anxin disciple, you've finally come around. Are you going to follow in your teacher's footsteps and remain unmarried and childless?"

"Unmarried and childless? That doesn't sound too bad," she replied.

No sooner had she finished speaking than her assistant hurried over, "Doctor Anxin, your fiancé is here!"

The smile on Lin Chuyi's face vanished in an instant, "What?!"

An Huadong turned and walked away, "Little liar!"
