Chapter 6 Disagreeing on the Marriage Proposal

The next day.

Su He arrived at the hospital early in the morning.

She had been experiencing some insomnia for the past few nights.

It was mainly because Jiang Yan appeared in her dreams.

But as for what the dreams were about, she couldn't recall.

She shook her head, telling herself she couldn't think about this anymore.

Ella and Lan Yan, along with their team, were already waiting for her to perform surgery.

She'd better just go and get the surgery done obediently.

Sterile operating room.

Other than the person lying on the operating table, everyone in this room was Su He's people.

Lan Yan nodded at Su He.

Su He's cool voice sounded: "Let's begin."

"Scalpel."

"Suture scissors..."

"Tissue scissors..."

"Straight forceps..."

"Gauze..."

"..."

"Patient's blood pressure and heart rate."

"Normal."

"..."

Other than the sounds of the equipment, the only other sounds in the operating room were the occasional updates on patient data reported by the nurses.

Meanwhile, in the VIP waiting room.

"Ah Yan, how did you come?" Long Bingyan looked at Jiang Yan and said, "I've already said, you've just returned to the country and there are a heap of things in the Jiang Family that need your attention. We're here for the old man's surgery, so you don't need to run around."

"Uncle Long, the old master is my mentor, how could I not be here for his surgery?" Jiang Yan said.

After greeting the Long Family, he then turned to the somewhat dazed Su Tianyi and called out, "Little uncle."

Su Tianyi was stunned when he saw him. Why had he come back too?

And to the hospital at that. If Su He came out later and bumped into him, what then?

That girl, despite the thousand exhortations and ten thousand instructions, she said she would not meet anyone other than the Long Family members.

This "anyone" definitely included Jiang Yan, who had suddenly appeared.

My God!

Is this some kind of joke to you?

You've given me such a huge trouble.

Jiang Yan's call of "little uncle" made his heart panic.

At this moment, the Long Family members recalled the marriage connection between the Jiang Family and the Su Family.

The wedding back then had not been held grandly by either the Jiang Family or the Su Family; they had only invited their own relatives and some close friends from other noble families, with the Long Family among them.

But after so many years, the couple had never appeared together, leading everyone to almost forget that Jiang Yan was a married man.

"Ah?"

"So it's Ah Yan..."

Su Tianyi spoke with surprise and astonishment: "Haven't seen you for so many years, almost didn't recognize you."

Jiang Yan, however, said, "I apologize, it's my fault for not visiting you and my grandparents as soon as I came back."

Su Tianyi heard him call out so familiarly, unaware people might think their relationship was quite close.

In fact, the Old Mr. and Mrs. Su from the Su Family did not agree with the marriage.

After all, the Su Family did not need to rely on marriage to find support.

But the old couple was too indulgent with their niece, they left the decision to Su He, who unexpectedly agreed to the marriage.

Well, married they were.

But it was clear to anyone with eyes that there was no affection between them.

Then, the very next day after the wedding, both of them ran off abroad without a word.

And they had been gone for four years.

How astute a person was Jiang Yan; when Su Tianyi first saw him, although surprised, his surprise was mixed with a hint of panic.

Why the panic?

"Right, Ah Yan, where's your wife? The two of you disappeared just like that after getting married." Long Bingyan curiously asked.

Jiang Yan answered naturally: "Uncle Long, she has been studying abroad in recent years, so she seldom appears."

He paused for a moment and then said, "However, she has returned too and is working at a hospital here."

"Ah?"

"Working at the hospital?"

Long Bingyan was somewhat taken aback, "Could it be that she is also in the medical field?"

Jiang Yan nodded his head.

At that moment, Su Tianyi was a bit confused; hadn't he just returned to the country a few days ago?

How did he know that Su He was working at a hospital?

Could it be that they had already met?

Why hadn't Su He mentioned a word about it?

Long Bingyan patted Su Tianyi's shoulder: "Old Su, your Su Family really lives up to its reputation as a medical family, all of you are in the field."

Su Tianyi exchanged a few polite words, saying nothing more.

He was thinking about how to inform Su He that Jiang Yan was here.

However, Jiang Yan sought to chat with him.

He even proactively told Su Tianyi that he and Su He had already met.

...

Four hours later.

After Su He finished the surgery.

Her serene yet crisp voice sounded: "Lan Yan, take the patient to the ICU ward. Monitor the situation in the next few days, message me if there's any issue, and don't come looking for me directly."

Lan Yan nodded, "OK."

She knew Su He's habits; she did not want others to discover her identity.

VIP waiting room.

Su He changed into another outfit, as agreed beforehand, she was to meet with the patient's family.

But as she walked down the corridor towards the VIP waiting room, she saw two men standing at the entrance from a distance.

One of them seemed somewhat familiar.

She stopped in her tracks and gave it some thought.

The next second, she turned resolutely and left.

Little did she know, Jiang Feng saw her as she turned.

Even though he only saw her profile, thankfully he had seen many photos previously due to Master Five asking him to investigate his wife, and he was thus able to recognize her at a glance.

After Su He left, she took out her phone from her pocket and made a call: "Ella, where are you? ... OK, then you go meet the patient's family for me... no... just say you are Nil."

Ella was her assistant, but very rarely appeared in public; it was mostly Bai Yang who was seen by others.

Ella quickly arrived at the VIP waiting room.

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting."

The people inside looked at her, slightly astonished.

Ella was mixed-race, with deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and distinct features that made her facial structure look more three-dimensional and exquisite, clear skin whiter than snow, tall and elegant figure, and her golden hair tied behind her head, a pair of light purple eyes gave a mesmerizing feeling.

"I am Nil, the old man's surgery went very well, he has been sent to the ICU ward for observation, we will observe for 48 hours, if there are no postoperative complications within 24 hours, then we will observe for another day, after which he can be transferred to the general ward."

Everyone here, except for Su Tianyi who had met the real Nil, had never seen her.

People did not expect that this famous surgical master in the medical world was a young and beautiful mixed-race woman.

In fact, Nil's true identity had never been leaked, people only knew she was female, nothing else was known.

When Ella claimed to be Nil, Su Tianyi caught on immediately.

He had been worried that Su He hadn't seen the text message he sent to her phone.

Indeed, she hadn't seen it; she had seen for herself.

Because she had seen Jiang Feng twice.

As he was Jiang Yan's man, if he was here, Jiang Yan must be too.

She didn't want Jiang Yan to know about this layer of her identity.

Su Tianyi said, "Ah, right, Bingyan, this here is the surgical master Nil."

After Ella briefly and clearly explained the key points, she left without staying a moment longer.

Su He had also returned to her own office.

Just browsing her phone for a while.

Ella's message came in: [All taken care of.]

Su He: [Mhm, you take the team back first, Lan Yan stay for a few days.]

Ella: [OK.]

After putting down the phone, she lay on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest for a while.

Before long, the door opened.
