Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Lies Exposed_1

Luckily, it wasn’t long before the resuscitation room’s door was pushed open.

Huo Qilin rushed to the outside of the resuscitation room as fast as he could, anxiously asking the doctor, "Doctor, how is the patient doing now? Is she alright?"

The doctor removed his face mask and said, "The patient had a fetal movement, but fortunately we got her to the hospital quickly and the timely rescue means that both the patient and the child in her womb are now safe."

"Thank goodness." Huo Qilin let out a sigh of relief.

"However, although the patient is now stable, today’s situation was a bit serious. She needs to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation, and we must also ensure she doesn’t receive any major shocks." The doctor cautioned before leaving.

After giving his advice, the doctor left.

At this point, Cheng Bingbing was wheeled out from the resuscitation room and taken to a general ward.

Xia Qingtian and Huo Qilin immediately followed her there.

In the general ward, Cheng Bingbing looked significantly better, but her complexion was still pale.

Huo Qilin came to her bedside, gripping Cheng Bingbing’s hand, "Bingbing, how are you feeling right now? Is there any place you still feel uncomfortable?"

"Much better." Cheng Bingbing managed a small smile.

Huo Qilin stared at her intently, "I kept my promise. I’ve been waiting outside for you and did not leave."

Cheng Bingbing nodded, "Hmm, I saw you the moment I came out."

As they spoke, they laughed and looked at each other.

Xia Qingtian broke into their conversation, "Qilin, Bingbing and I hurriedly came to the hospital without having lunch because of you. We are starving. Could you get us something to eat?"

Hearing her words, Huo Qilin immediately turned to Cheng Bingbing, "Bingbing, what do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you."

Cheng Bingbing didn’t have an appetite and didn’t want to eat anything at this point.

But she understood that Xia Qingtian was trying to find an excuse to have a private conversation with her by sending Huo Qilin away.

So she played along, "I want to have the bone porridge from Xu’s."

The restaurant Xu’s was a bit far away, and it was always crowded with customers who needed to queue up. It meant that Huo Qilin wouldn’t be able to come back quickly.

This would guarantee he wouldn’t disturb her and Xia Qingtian’s conversation.

Huo Qilin, unsuspecting of Xia Qingtian and Cheng Bingbing’s intentions, quickly agreed, "Alright, you guys wait for me a while, I will go and buy it right now."

He then turned to Xia Qingtian, "Qingtian, could you please take care of Bingbing while I’m gone? I’ll be back soon."

"Bingbing and I are friends, even if you didn’t ask I would still take care of her." Xia Qingtian somewhat amused, waved her hand and said, "You should get going, we don’t want Bingbing to starve."

Hearing her refer to Cheng Bingbing as "his Bingbing", Huo Qilin’s ears turned slightly red.

He turned to leave, somewhat bashfully, and just as he reached the door of the ward, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to Xia Qingtian, "Right, I forgot to ask you, what do you want to eat?"

Xia Qingtian sighed, teasing him, "Now you think of asking me. It seems the treatment of your girlfriend and manager really is different. I’ll also have the same porridge as Bingbing."

"It’s only natural to want the best for Bingbing since I love her." With that, Huo Qilin turned and left.

Cheng Bingbing watched the direction in which he’d left, her extraordinary gaze fixated far away, unable to look elsewhere.

"Ahem, he’ll be back soon, stop gazing like a devoted wife." Xia Qingtian coughed softly, bringing her attention back.

Embarrassed, Cheng Bingbing broke her gaze, not daring to meet Xia Qingtian’s teasing eyes.

Instead of responding, she avoided the topic and asked, "Sister Qingtian, did you send Qilin away because you have something to tell me?"

Xia Qingtian sat down on the bedside and seeing Cheng Bingbing’s slightly dry and chapped lips, she poured her a cup of water, "Drink some water first, then we can talk."

Having followed Xia Qingtian to the hospital and then through all of this, with all the talking, Cheng Bingbing was indeed thirsty. She didn’t refuse and drained the cup in one go.

"Thank you." After drinking the water, her voice became softer.

Now that she’d had some water, Xia Qingtian got down to business, seriously asking Cheng Bingbing, "Did you really feel unwell earlier? Or were you pretending?"

Mentioning this, a trace of guilt flashed in Cheng Bingbing’s eyes.

She looked down at her own hands, not daring to meet Xia Qingtian’s gaze, and said softly, "No, I was lying to Qilin!"

"How did you manage to get the doctor to cooperate with you?" Xia Qingtian asked, squinting.

Caught off guard by this question, Cheng Bingbing hurriedly made an excuse, "Because I bribed the doctor to lie for me."

"Do you think I’m a fool? This is the best hospital in A City. How much money would it take to bribe a doctor here?" Xia Qingtian sighed, seeing through her bluff, "Do you even have any money?"

Hadn’t she given all of her money to her worthless parents?

Did she now have the money to bribe a doctor in the city’s best hospital?

Cheng Bingbing was left speechless.

As her manager, nobody knew her financial situation better than Xia Qingtian.

"I’m sorry, Sister Qingtian, I was afraid you’d scold me, so I lied." Cheng Bingbing guiltily confessed and apologized.

Xia Qingtian told her off because Cheng Bingbing had failed to take care of herself. She wanted to berate her a bit, but seeing how pale she was, Xia Qingtian felt her heart soften and couldn’t bring herself to continue, "From now on, you need to take better care of yourself. Don’t take your health lightly."

Seeing that she wasn’t being scolded, Cheng Bingbing felt relieved and also felt warmth in her heart.

She knew that Xia Qingtian was getting angry just because she cared for her.

Cheng Bingbing promised, "Sister Qingtian, I have kept all your words in my heart and promise not to make the same mistakes."
