Chapter 108: Chapter 108: The Child Must Take My Surname

Over the subsequent few days, Long Chen swiftly arranged a construction team to renovate the villa.

Having purchased the house, Long Chen did not hide it from Zhao Churan.

Zhao Churan did not ask where Long Chen bought it and simply stated that once the renovation was done, they should move in together.

Long Chen certainly wouldn’t refuse. After all, the food that Zhao Churan cooked was quite delicious.

After chatting with Zhao Churan for a while, Long Chen and Zhao Churan left the house together.

Zhao Churan was off to work, while Long Chen had other matters to attend to.

After watching Zhao Churan leave, Long Chen pulled up Xia Ling’s WeChat, the hospital doctor, and sent a message: "Dr. Xia, are you free? I’d like to take you out for a meal."

Ding.

Xia Ling replied quickly: "Send the address."

Long Chen: "You choose."

Xia Ling: "Then let’s meet at Peng Ji Breakfast Shop outside our hospital. Are you coming now?"

Long Chen: "Sure, see you in a bit."

...

In the hospital, Xia Ling quickly took off her white coat and changed into a beautiful long dress.

Lastly, she took out a small mirror and meticulously touched up her makeup.

A nurse who came in to report on some cases was startled upon seeing Xia Ling like this.

"Sister Xia, are you going out on a date?"

The nurse asked in surprise.

"Date your head. I’m just going out for breakfast," Xia Ling said.

"Uh, Sister Xia, didn’t you come in with breakfast in your hands this morning?"

"*Cough*, that wasn’t tasty, I threw it in the trash can," said Xia Ling.

Hearing this, the nurse glanced at the garbage can with its empty disposable box and couldn’t help but laugh: "Isn’t that an empty box after you finished eating?"

"You little brat, if you don’t want to work overtime, you’d better watch your mouth,"

Xia Ling glared at the nurse.

"Aiya, Sister Xia, I promise I won’t talk nonsense. I wish you success and hope you find someone soon,"

The nurse hurriedly said.

"Find someone? He has a wife. I am just a bit curious about that man, that’s all. Okay, I’m going now,"

Xia Ling put away the mirror, picked up her purse, and walked out of the office.

She arrived first at Peng Ji Breakfast Shop, waiting for Long Chen’s arrival.

While waiting, Xia Ling couldn’t help but speculate on Long Chen’s purpose for inviting her.

When Long Chen entered the breakfast shop, Xia Ling immediately stood up and asked, "It looks like it’s going to snow outside, are you cold?"

"No, I’m fine, not cold," Long Chen said.

"Sit tight, I’ll pour you a cup of hot water."

Xia Ling said, without waiting for a response, running off to pour water for Long Chen.

This left Long Chen somewhat pleasantly surprised.

Once both were seated, Xia Ling sipped water while looking out the window, seemingly avoiding eye contact with Long Chen.

"Dr. Xia, I’ve actually wanted to invite you out for a while now, but only found the time today. I have something very important to discuss with you, it’s just..."

"Stop right there," Xia Ling hastily said: "Mr. Long, you are a married man. You have a wife. If you want me to be your mistress, then you might as well give up that idea."

"Uh, what are you talking about?"

Long Chen was dumbfounded.

Xia Ling quickly covered her mouth, her face turning red.

Long Chen shook his head, chuckling bitterly: "I simply wanted to discuss a collaboration with Dr. Xia. Your reaction is really confusing."

"Is that so." Xia Ling coughed twice, using drinking water to hide her embarrassment: "Well, let’s hear it then. What kind of collaboration?"

"Collaborate to have a son?"

Long Chen joked.

Splutter.

Xia Ling spat out her water, spraying Long Chen’s face.

Long Chen, his face streaked with water, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t do that on purpose."

Xia Ling hastily pulled out tissues, frantically wiping Long Chen’s face.

"It’s okay, it’s okay. No big deal." Long Chen chuckled. Wasn’t this self-inflicted after all?

Xia Ling, with her cheeks flushed, glared at Long Chen: "Who asked you to talk nonsense? If it weren’t for your silly joke, I wouldn’t have lost control."

"Alright, alright, let’s get serious now. We will... "

"The child would have my surname," Xia Ling interrupted him.

"What?" Long Chen was stun.

"Giggle, stunned, aren’t you? Humph, that’s what you get for teasing me. I call this instant karma. Now, you can talk about the real matter,"

Xia Ling said, settling back into her seat with a satisfied expression.

Long Chen laughed: "Dr. Xia, you really have a sense of humor. Let’s get down to business then..."
