Chapter 1214: 942 Chapter Are You Embarrassed?_2

Qiu Nuo hadn’t seen Xiao Su for a long time, so when she saw her with a big belly, she was quite surprised. She hadn’t expected that Xiao Su was about to become a mother and that her best friend’s husband must be quite a remarkable man, capable of winning over a princess like Xiao Su.

But no matter who he was, he could definitely not compare to Yang Ping. Qiu Nuo inquired about Xiao Su’s husband, and Xiao Su merely said he was just an ordinary surgeon at Sanbo Hospital.

An ordinary surgeon— that simply could not compare to Yang Ping.

Qiu Nuo felt that, at the end of the day, Xiao Su lacked initiative, unlike herself, who would actively pursue suitable targets. Confident in her beauty and intelligence, Qiu Nuo was determined to win over Yang Ping, a man specializing in the art of medicine.

Before coming, Qiu Nuo had insisted on sharing a bed with Xiao Su. Having not seen her university best friend for so long, she was naturally very enthusiastic. But seeing Xiao Su’s pregnant belly, Xiao Su was right; she was already married. How could she share a bed with her? It was also inconvenient to stay at her best friend’s house, so Qiu Nuo had to book a room at the Sanbo Hotel.

Her advanced training was for three months, and she decided to make the best out of these months to get closer to Yang Ping. Frankly, her main target for this training was Yang Ping; the training itself was secondary.

"I have to meet your husband, to see who he is. You wouldn’t just pick someone randomly for marriage, would you? You always said to prefer lack over mismatch," Qiu Nuo was very curious.

Xiao Su smiled and said, "It’s not exactly picking at random, but he indeed is just an ordinary person. He’s still performing surgery today. I’ve already told him my best friend is coming today. We can have dinner together tonight, and then you can meet him."

"You promised me, did you invite Yang Ping as well? You wouldn’t lie to me, would you?" Qiu Nuo always remembered what Xiao Su said.

"Don’t worry, I also invited Yang Ping. He will definitely come, as long as you don’t mind it being a bit awkward," Xiao Su said lightly.

"Awkward? What’s there to be awkward about? A bachelor meets a bachelorette. You know, I just visited the Surgical Research Institute; he was still at the operating table."

Qiu Nuo had been thinking about Yang Ping the whole time. When she went to the Surgical Research Institute to report, the first thing she did was seek to meet Yang Ping.

"Don’t worry, you’ll meet him tonight," Xiao Su said with a mysterious smile.

Qiu Nuo said contentedly, "That’s what true best friends do. You always tried to stop me before, so I was really angry, thinking you were just jealous of me."

"So every time I started to speak, you told me to shut up, regardless of the situation, I can only support you?"

"Of course!"

---

After work in the afternoon, to host her love-struck best friend, Xiao Su set up a dinner at Uncle Er’s Grilled Fish. Of course, besides the two of them, there was also Yang Ping, who hadn’t yet arrived.

Xiao Su ordered the dishes, and she waited with Qiu Nuo in the private room for Yang Ping, who had just finished surgery. He went to check on a patient who had just undergone surgery and a Swedish patient in the CCU before he would come over.

Xiao Su was already accustomed to this kind of life. If someday it wasn’t like this, she probably wouldn’t be used to it.

While Yang Ping was not there, Xiao Su and Qiu Nuo could chat. There were endless topics between good friends, and Qiu Nuo was very grateful for her best friend’s considerate arrangement, even managing to invite Professor Yang to join them for dinner.

During the conversation, Qiu Nuo was a bit distracted, her excitement probably spurred by thoughts of Yang Ping.

"Are Professor Yang and your husband coming together? Xiao Su, you have to help me, we’re good friends."

Qiu Nuo occasionally looked towards the door, hoping someone would knock and enter.

"Right, they’ll come together," Xiao Su reassured her.

The two then chatted about fun times from their university days, and then about where each dormitory sister went and their current status after graduation.

About marriage, Qiu Nuo felt Xiao Su was somewhat unfortunate for not taking advantage of her proximity to secure a more coveted catch, settling for just any ordinary doctor. Although Xiao Su stepped into marriage first, Qiu Nuo felt she had the advantage of acting second, thinking about it made her exceptionally sweet inside, unexpectedly giving her a sense of superiority.

Why hasn’t he arrived yet?

Just as Qiu Nuo was anxiously waiting, the slightly ajar door was pushed open, and in came Yang Ping; Qiu Nuo immediately became a bit nervous, hastily getting up: "Professor Yang!"

"Qiu Nuo?" Yang Ping was quite surprised.

Yang Ping looked confusedly at Xiao Su. Wasn’t it supposed to be Xiao Su’s best friend? Why was it Qiu Nuo?

After Qiu Nuo sat down, Xiao Su put her arm around Qiu Nuo’s shoulder and said,

"Let me introduce, this is my dormitory best friend from university. She’s here for advanced training at our hospital, and she’s also in our department. She absolutely wanted to meet you."

"I see, no wonder it’s such a coincidence," Yang Ping said as he finally sat down. The table was quite large, the three of them sitting equidistant on one side, Yang Ping sitting next to Xiao Su. Qiu Nuo thought Yang Ping would sit next to her, now that Yang Ping was sitting next to Xiao Su, she inevitably felt a bit displeased.

"Have the dishes been ordered? Did you tell Uncle Er to bring out their signature dishes?" Yang Ping asked while looking at the menu.

"I’ve already ordered the dishes, just waiting for you to get off work," Xiao Su began helping unwrap the chopsticks and bowls.

Yang Ping quickly stopped her, afraid she’d overexert herself: "Let me do that, you just sit."

"It’s nothing, not much of a physical task."

Xiao Su efficiently unpacked the dishes and began to wash them with boiling water for Qiu Nuo.

"This custom isn’t practiced in the north, but it’s common in the south when eating, so when in Rome, do as the Romans do," Xiao Su explained to Qiu Nuo about the dishwashing custom.

Yang Ping immediately took over the washing from Xiao Su, "Slow down, I told you to sit, you never listen, let me do it."

Hey, hey, hey!

What do you mean? Even if you know her, you can’t be this intimate, can you? She’s married, does she need you to look after her like this?

Watching Yang Ping doing this confused Qiu Nuo and made him very uncomfortable.

"Waiter, bring the dishes!" Yang Ping immediately ordered the waiter standing at the door.

"Your husband hasn’t arrived yet, has he? Why don’t we wait a bit?" Qiu Nuo whispered to Xiao Su.

Xiao Su smiled and said, "He’s already here."

Where?

Qiu Nuo scanned the entire room. Weren’t there just three people here, and that one outside is the restaurant’s waiter.

"Let me formally introduce you. This gentleman by my side—Professor Yang Ping from Sanbo Hospital, is also my husband! And this is my best friend from university, the elite nurse in the operating room at Xiehe Hospital, Qiu Nuo," Xiao Su reintroduced earnestly.

"Your husband?"

Really?

Qiu Nuo’s face showed disbelief.

"Yes, my husband, Professor Yang Ping, is there a problem?" Xiao Su said seriously.

Qiu Nuo now really wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, he was so embarrassed he could dig a mansion out with his toes. He had been loudly telling Xiao Su not to stop him from pursuing Yang Ping, and here he was, the husband, his face lost to the Antarctic.

Such a social death!

Qiu Nuo tried to control his emotions and said through gritted teeth, "Why didn’t you tell me!"

"I’ve told you many times, you either don’t believe me or you didn’t listen when I said—," Xiao Su also spoke softly.

The two leaned close together, keeping their voices to a minimum.

"I want to hide in a hole now!"

"I told you you’d socially die if you didn’t listen to me, but it’s alright, it’s just us here, no one else."

"Sis, can I find an excuse to leave now?"

"No!"

"I’m begging you, I even called you ’sis’, and you’re younger than me."

"You guys didn’t do anything wrong, what are you afraid of, you didn’t tell me you had something, did you?"

"No, nothing, nothing!"

Yang Ping had no idea what they were murmuring about, why they were whispering, avoiding him.

"I’m going to the restroom."

Yang Ping thought they must be discussing some topics inappropriate for men, so he made an excuse to step out to give them some space to chat before he returned.

Once Yang Ping left, Qiu Nuo raised his voice slightly, but still didn’t dare to speak too loudly: "Xiao Su—I’m going to kill you—"

"Are you embarrassed now?"

"I---am---going---to---kill---you---"

"Awake now, aren’t you?"

"I---am---going---to---kill---you---"

"Blame me? I told you Yang Ping is my husband, I almost showed you the marriage certificate. You still said not to stop you using this method, nothing could stop you, even said if I tried to stop you, it would be because I was jealous. Your lovestruck brain wouldn’t wake up without a bucket of cold water, it’s fine, it’s not anyone else."

Yes, it’s not anyone else. After all, she is her best friend, but—

Her own crush turning out to be Xiao Su’s husband, who had beaten her to the punch, feeling awful indeed.
