Chapter 97: Fleeing in a Sorry State

Qiao An had slept with him when she had just recovered from her serious injuries. How strong must their feelings be for them to sleep together? And they slept together every day?

Wasn’t she afraid that the wound would open?

Li Xiaoran said mischievously, “If you don’t want to have a miscarriage, don’t sleep together in the early stages of pregnancy.” His voice was filled with a hint of hostility that he did not notice.

Qiao An nodded.

In view of the patient’s unwillingness to cooperate, Li Xiaoran helplessly instructed Qiao An’s attending physician, “Give her a checkup report.”

Qiao An held the MRI report and walked dejectedly towards the photo lab.

Li Xiaoran returned to his consultation room and quickly sank into the atmosphere of work.

He listened attentively to the patient’s family’s narration. “Doctor, my father has been having a nosebleed recently. He even has a sudden headache and his speech is getting more and more blurry. What exactly is going on?”

In the past, when Li Xiaoran worked, his entire body emitted a godly aura and he was patiently and caring in his consultation. However, today, facing a serious patient suspected to be in the early stages of cerebral apoplexy, Li Xiaoran only instructed indifferently, “Admit him to the hospital immediately.”

The patient’s family could not accept such a result. “Doctor, is it serious? Can’t he take medicine?”

Li Xiaoran decisively announced, “The patient is suspected to be in the early stages of cerebral apoplexy. He has to be hospitalized for standard treatment.”

Facing this cold and quiet doctor, the patient could only swallow his doubts.

Li Xiaoran gave the patient a hospitalization certificate. After the patient left, Li Xiaoran got off work.

When he walked out of the consultation room, Lu Mo teased with a smile, “Senior, your attitude towards patients today is a little abnormal…”

Li Xiaoran stood at the door of the consultation room, but his gaze landed on Qiao An, who was vomiting beside the trash can.

Lu Mo said sympathetically, “Other pregnant women have their families. Qiao An is pregnant, but your nephew is nowhere to be seen.”

Li Xiaoran looked at Qiao An’s pale face and thought of how the child in her stomach was a child that she and Li Zecheng had conceived. His chest was filled with bitterness.

He said stiffly, “She asked for it.”

A pitiful person must have something about her to hate!

It wasn’t easy for Qiao An to suppress the urge to vomit. She stood up trembling and felt dizzy again.

She put one hand on the wall and inched forward.

Li Xiaoran stuffed his hands into the pockets of his white coat and walked over coolly to stand in front of her. He asked her arrogantly like a savior, “Do you need help?”

Qiao An glanced at him indifferently and rejected him firmly. “No need.”

Li Xiaoran did not know why Qiao An had been cold to him recently. In his opinion, she was a heartless ingrate.

“Qiao An, did I offend you in any way?” Li Xiaoran blurted out.

Qiao An narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Xiaoran as if she was looking at a clown.

Li Xiaoran was extremely uncomfortable with her resentful and mocking gaze. It was as if he was her sinner and was being interrogated by her.

Li Xiaoran had a bad feeling.

Lu Mo suddenly walked over and held Li Xiaoran’s arm affectionately. “Senior, since Qiao An doesn’t need your help, let’s go for lunch.”

Lu Mo dragged Li Xiaoran away.

As soon as he was gone, Qiao An collapsed against the wall.

She did not know how she left the hospital that day. When she returned home, she covered herself with the blanket and slept for the entire afternoon.

When she woke up, Qiao An realized that there were more than ten missed calls from Li Xiaoran.

Perhaps because she did not answer, Li Xiaoran sent her a message. “You heartless girl.”

Qiao An looked at the pink message and for some reason, tears flowed out of his eyes.

She knew that Li Xiaoran had ill intentions when he approached her, but she still couldn’t help but fall for him.

Today at the hospital, when she heard that Li Xiaoran and Lu Mo were already sleeping together, the loss in her heart almost made her suffocate.

She felt worse and more lost than ever.

Only then did Qiao An realize that she had never let go of Li Xiaoran.

She still loved him deeply in her heart. Otherwise, she shouldn’t be so childish as to be jealous.

Reason told Qiao An that she had to stay away from Li Xiaoran, or his revenge would send her into an eternal abyss.

“Doctor Li, when you stare into the abyss, don’t forget that the abyss will also stare back at you. Enough is enough.”

Qiao An wiped away her tears and tossed the phone aside.

When Li Xiaoran received Qiao An’s message, he was petrified by this obscure message.

His intuition told him that Qiao An should know his intentions for approaching her. But it shouldn’t be!

He hid it so well, she shouldn’t know.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoran’s phone rang.

Li Xiaoran quickly picked up his phone and saw that it was Lu Mo’s number. A hint of disappointment appeared in Li Xiaoran’s eyes.

When he picked up the phone, Lu Mo’s voice came over excitedly.

“Senior, my parents are here. They want to ask you out for dinner tonight.”

Li Xiaoran swallowed. He wanted to refuse, but when he remembered what he had done to Lu Mo, he braced himself and agreed.

“Okay. I’ll book the hotel.”

Li Xiaoran hung up the phone and invited his good friends, Huo Zhou and Chen Xiao, to help. “Lu Mo’s mother invited me to dinner tonight. The two of you should dress up and accompany me.”

Chen Xiao was puzzled. “Senior, you’re clearly his son-in-law. Shouldn’t you be the one who should be dressing up?”

Li Xiaoran said, “What do you know? I-laws will find their son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye, so I don’t have to be obsequious.”

Huo Zhou and Chen Xiao thought that Li Xiaoran wanted them to dress up and support him. Unexpectedly, when they attended the gathering, they saw Li Xiaoran’s unruly and elegant hair hanging listlessly on his forehead. His handsome and noble face was extremely haggard today. Even his clothes were cheap.

However, it still could not hide his natural aristocratic aura.

Huo Zhou and Chen Xiao were dumbfounded.

The two of them looked at each other and saw that they were both wearing the best clothes. The two of them smiled bitterly.

They had been tricked by Li Xiaoran.

They originally thought that they were supporting characters, but they did not expect Li Xiaoran to trick them into becoming the main characters. They were made to look like they were here for a blind date.

“Senior Brother, you’ve really put in a lot of effort to make yourself look so haggard,” Chen Xiao said.

Li Xiaoran said listlessly, “I’m really haggard today. I don’t know why, but Qiao An doesn’t want to talk to me today?”

Chen Xiao patted his shoulder and comforted him. “That woman, Qiao An, is not easy to deal with. She’s playing hard to get with you. Don’t fall for it. If you let her off for a few days, she’ll come looking for you.”

Just as the three of them were chatting happily, Lu Mo’s family suddenly pushed the door open and entered.
