The moment the veil was lifted, jaws dropped everywhere.

You're telling me this is an ugly duckling?

Just look at that skin, so delicate it could be broken with a puff.

A pair of eyes as clear as water perched above a nose that was both straight and adorably cute.

A face so exquisite it could topple empires.

Who would dare call this an ugly duckling?

"This is... Chen Xiao's girlfriend???"

Sun Li couldn't believe her eyes.

If a woman sees another woman who is slightly prettier than herself, she might feel jealous and resentful.

But when a woman sees another woman who is far more beautiful than herself, she can only admire, envy, and feel ashamed of her own inferiority.

This was how Sun Li felt when she faced Li Ziqing.

Who was the ugly duckling was now clear at a glance.

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, "Hey? Isn't that Li Ziqing?"

After this person's shout, everyone recognized her.

"It really is her! As expected of a big star, she looks even better in person than on screen!"

"Li Ziqing, can I take a picture with you?"

"Please sign my autograph!"

...

Chen Xiao finally understood why Li Ziqing wore a veil when she went out.

Once the veil was removed, it almost turned into a celebrity meet-and-greet!

Sun Li pushed through the crowd and rushed to the front.

"You're Li Ziqing? You really are Li Ziqing!"

Sun Li suddenly became like a mad dog, questioning Li Ziqing loudly.

"Li Ziqing, what do you see in Chen Xiao?"

"This good-for-nothing has no money, no power, and no skills. He's over twenty years old and doesn't even have a job!"

"Have you considered how your fans feel about this?"

Her shout immediately aroused public indignation.

"What, he doesn't even have a job? Li Ziqing, what are you doing with someone like that? Doing charity?"

"I'm better than him. It's no exaggeration to say that I earn three thousand two a month, after tax!"

...

Li Ziqing was speechless. Were these people brainless?

Just then, someone suddenly said, "Who said he doesn't have a job?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw another devastatingly beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman parted the crowd and walked towards Chen Xiao.

"Chen Xiao, this is the employment letter from Jiangcheng Hospital. From today onwards, you are an official doctor at Jiangcheng Hospital. I represent the hospital in welcoming you!"

The speaker was none other than Song Anran, who was as beautiful as a fairy. She handed the employment letter to Chen Xiao with a smile.

Sun Li was completely dumbfounded.

What kind of luck did this good-for-nothing Chen Xiao have?

How could he be surrounded by such stunning beauties?

She now realized how ridiculous her decision to use a beauty trap on Chen Xiao had been.

She was the real clown!

"Thank you, Dr. Song."

Chen Xiao happily accepted the letter.

Although he himself no longer had such a strong desire to be a doctor.

But if Liu Zhen knew this news, he would be very happy.

"You're welcome. Is this your girlfriend?"

Song Anran glanced at Li Ziqing, who was holding Chen Xiao's arm.

But once she looked, she couldn't take her eyes off her.

And when Li Ziqing saw Song Anran, a flash of unease and fear instantly crossed her eyes.

The two were stunned for a moment, staring at each other for several seconds. Chen Xiao seemed like the superfluous one.

"You know each other?"

Chen Xiao asked curiously.

"No, we don't!"

"No, we don't!"

The two answered in unison.

Then Li Ziqing said, "Chen Xiao, I'm feeling a little unwell. I'm going back now."

Then, without waiting for Chen Xiao to react, she turned and went back to the hospital.

Chen Xiao felt a little baffled. She had been fine just now, why did she leave so suddenly?

He looked at Song Anran, who raised her eyebrows and said, "Your girlfriend ran away, aren't you going to chase after her!"

"Oh! I'll look for you later!"

Chen Xiao caught up with Li Ziqing, but Li Ziqing seemed to have suddenly changed.

She was cautious and uneasy.

Chen Xiao felt that she seemed to be afraid of something. Could it be Song Anran?

"What's wrong? Where do you feel unwell?"

"No, it's nothing. I'll be fine after I go back and rest."

"Okay, I'll take you back to your ward."

The two returned to the ward, and Li Ziqing still looked absent-minded.

"Thank you for what happened just now."

"It's nothing."

Li Ziqing replied absentmindedly.

Chen Xiao said again, "Let me give you a massage."

But Li Ziqing didn't seem to be in the mood. She shook her head.

"No massage today... Chen Xiao, are you very familiar with that Dr. Song from just now?"

Chen Xiao shook his head. "Not really, I've only met her a few times."

Then, he told Li Ziqing about the agreement between him and Song Anran.

Li Ziqing nodded thoughtfully. "I see."

"Then go find her quickly. Since you're going to start working, you may need to go through some procedures."

"Okay."

Chen Xiao nodded.

He was sure that there must be something between Song Anran and Li Ziqing.

But if Li Ziqing didn't say, he wouldn't ask.

If Li Ziqing wanted to say, he wouldn't need to ask.

Chen Xiao left, and Li Ziqing silently looked out the window.

A few seconds later, Chen Xiao came back.

He even took out a steamed bun from his pocket.

"I almost forgot, I bought you breakfast. It's still warm, eat it while it's hot!"

Looking at the steamed bun that was still steaming, Li Ziqing's eyes suddenly turned red.

Chen Xiao was a little puzzled. "It's just a few steamed buns, it shouldn't be this touching, right!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Ziqing suddenly pounced on him.

She hugged him tightly around the waist and buried her head in his chest.

Chen Xiao was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know where to put the hand holding the steamed bun and could only suspend it in mid-air.

"Thank you, Chen Xiao, you're a good person!"

"Over the years, you're the only man who has been truly kind to me, instead of just wanting my body..."

Li Ziqing sobbed like a sleepwalker.

Chen Xiao quickly said, "It's not that serious, it's just a few steamed buns. The money I've earned from you is enough to open several steamed bun shops!"

Li Ziqing burst into tears and laughter, pounding Chen Xiao's chest. "I hate you, don't tease me!"

Chen Xiao was confused and inexplicable by this hug.

Little did he know that Li Ziqing had already regarded this hug as her last and only hug with him.

Because after Chen Xiao stepped out of this door, he might never pay attention to her again.

Chen Xiao's hands were still in a surrender position, and his arms were a little sore.

"If you keep hugging me like this, I can't guarantee that I won't have any intentions towards your body."

Li Ziqing giggled, her voice as soft as silk.

"Is that so? In that case, I couldn't ask for more."

Chen Xiao only felt a rush, and all the blood in his body gathered towards a certain place.

"Woman, you're playing with fire!"

Chen Xiao swallowed, and a fire seemed to be burning fiercely in his body.

Li Ziqing's eyes were charming, and her breath was like orchids.

"I don't like playing with fire. How about we play something more exciting~~~"
