After nightfall, Xue Ling planned to leave the hospital and go home.
Zheng Duoduo was about to send her downstairs, but she stopped him.
"What are you giving me?"
Xue Ling warned: "It's important to take good care of little Tong.
When the car from the confinement center comes to pick her up tomorrow, remember to put a thin shirt on her, it's cold and empty everywhere, so be careful."
Earlier, Xiao Tong was blown to pieces and sneezed, which frightened Zhu Achun and almost caused him to panic.
Zheng Duoduo hurriedly answered, blinked a few times, and lowered his voice: "Sister Ling, I'll ask you to follow up on the video."
"rest assured."
Xue Ling said warmly: "I will tell you immediately if there is definite news.
Your most important task now is to take good care of Xiao Tong and Xiao Baobao, leave the rest to me for now."
"thank you!"
Zheng Duoduo waved his hand.
"etc!"
Zheng Xiaoyi ran out and said with a smile: "Sister Ling, I want to go out and buy a cup of coffee. Let's go downstairs together."
Xue Huan had received a call earlier and hurried over, saying that he would pick her up later and take her home with him.
Zheng Xiaoyi couldn't bear to leave her newborn nephew, saying that she would stay until after ten o'clock and she could just take the car back later.
"coffee?"
Zheng Duoduo took out his mobile phone: "Sister, let me order two drinks for you.
There’s no need to run up and down on a hot day, takeaway is always on hand!”
Zheng Xiaoyi glanced at him and said angrily: "Can't I just go for a walk?
I'll give it to Sister Lingling for you, can't you?"
"Of course!"
Zheng Duoduo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I can't ask for it! Go ahead, go ahead!"
So, Xue Ling and Zheng Xiaoyi entered the elevator arm in arm.
The two of them walked and chatted until they came to the entrance of the hospital.
Xue Ling stopped and asked funnyly: "What?
Don’t want to talk about it yet?
My car is waiting across the street!"
She obviously had something to tell her privately, otherwise there would be no need for such lame excuses.
Zheng Xiaoyi let go of her hand and faced her face to face with an awkward smile on his face.
"Sister...I suddenly feel a little embarrassed to speak. I don't even know what to say."
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and teased: "If you can let me know, then just tell me.
If you really don’t know what to say, you can also type it and send it to me.
Then I'll get in the car and wait while you stay here typing?"
Zheng Xiaoyi was amused by her and pinched his nose gently to hide his inner embarrassment.
“Sister, this matter is about Ah Huan—actually, it’s not really about him.
To be precise - I couldn’t pass the test in my own heart.”
Xue Linghu asked: "Which aspect?
Be more careful."
Zheng Xiaoyi pulled her to sit on the stone pillar next to the flower garden and lowered his voice: "That's it.
Ah Huan took care of a female doctoral student more than ten years ago... The girl was good-looking, smart and capable, had outstanding achievements, and had very good academic attainments.
She used to make secret glances at Ah Huan, giving her gifts and loving meals in various ways."
"oh."
Xue Ling nodded.
Zheng Xiaoyi continued: "Ah Huan is very busy every day, takes his work seriously, and even though he sometimes neglects to take care of his family, his sense of responsibility for the family has never wavered, and his feelings for me have never changed.
Perhaps because he was afraid of rumors, he directly transferred the female student to other colleagues and did not take care of any more students in the next few years.
The female student later went abroad, but she only stayed abroad for two or three years, and she came back recently."
"oh."
Xue Ling nodded again.
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to submit her resume to the personnel department of the nursing home, saying that she wanted to work in the nursing home!"
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Ah Huan agreed?"
"He...has not agreed yet."
Zheng Xiaoyi curled his lips and whispered: "But the doctors over there are all chosen by him personally.
That female student is very talented, and the professional field she is good at happens to be the most scarce in our sanatorium right now.
I guess Ah Huan would probably agree."
Xue Ling finally understood and laughed dumbly.
"So, you want me to give Ah Huan some advice, right?"
Zheng Xiaoyi was slightly embarrassed and hesitated: "Sister, it's not that I don't believe him.
We have been in love and married for so many years, and we are considered an old couple.
He is now in his early fifties, and even if he has the heart, he no longer has the mood or ability.
I just feel... I feel..." "I don't think it's necessary."
Xue Ling said: "No matter how scarce talents are, there are always opportunities and possibilities to find them.
But if he has a woman with ulterior motives for Ah Huan by his side, he is worried that she will not change her mind and continue to covet Ah Huan."
"……yes."
Zheng Xiaoyi had no choice but to admit it and explain: "He has a family and a career. If the reputation he has accumulated for many years is destroyed by that woman with evil intentions, he will be the only one who suffers at a time when he is already too old and too late to protect his reputation.
"
Xue Ling laughed softly when he heard this.
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled bitterly: "My words may be too straightforward, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst! I believe in him and have full confidence in my husband, but I am not familiar with that woman at all. How do I know if she will?"
Will you act impulsively, or have a perverted mentality of 'If you don't get it, just destroy it'?
It’s about my family and our common career, how could I not be worried, right?”
"right."
Xue Ling smiled calmly: "It is reasonable to worry.
However, I don’t think so about what you said just now—that you have great confidence in Ah Huan.”
Zheng Xiaoyi hurriedly shook his head: "Of course I believe him! Over the years, there have been many such examples around him. It was not until he got older in recent years that the number of women trying to attract his attention gradually decreased.
Unless he doesn't know or notice it himself, whenever he finds out, he will immediately avoid suspicion or avoid it, and will not give those women the slightest chance."
"In that case, you don't have to worry."
Xue Ling funnyly reminded: "You know that your husband is a gentleman and will never give other women the chance to get close to him, so you should continue to trust him - including this time."
Zheng Xiaoyi was slightly stunned.
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What?
Do you think this time is special?
Because she is a rare good talent?"
"Um."
Zheng Xiaoyi explained in a low voice: "I had to persuade him to put the overall situation first, but I couldn't say it.
We open a nursing home to make money and make money, but more importantly, we want to have a more relaxed career for middle-aged and elderly people who will not have to do nothing.
The timing is different."
Xue Ling chuckled and asked warmly: "You understand this truth, is it possible that Ah Huan doesn't understand it?
Don’t forget, he was the first person to take the initiative to resign, and then he convinced you.
The main reason is that you make money for yourself, not for profit.
To take a step back, there are ways to attract talents no matter how scarce they are, so there is no need to pick a possible time bomb around you.
Ah Huan has already shown you his determination once, so you can continue to believe in him and have confidence in him."
Zheng Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, then started laughing like a self-mockery.
