“Well then…” Zhang Huai thought for a moment. “How about this—I’ll have Nangong Zhe’s attending physician accompany Miss Xia to see him. That way, if Nangong Zhe has any emotional outbursts, the doctor can keep things under control.”
Fengguang nodded. “Alright.”
“Miss Xia, please come with me.”
Zhang Huai led her upstairs. After walking down a long corridor, he knocked on the door of an office. Soon, a voice came from inside:
“Come in.”
Zhang Huai opened the door and led Fengguang inside. Smiling at the man sitting behind the desk, reading medical records, he asked, “Doctor Qi, are you busy right now?”
“It’s the director.” The young man set down the file and stood up. His white coat made his tall figure appear even more slender. He asked gently, “Is there something you need, Director?”
The man had a smooth, fair face with well-defined, handsome features. Beneath his long, slightly curled eyelashes were eyes that seemed to carry a constant smile. Even his polite expression had a certain charm to it. Paired with his white lab coat, it gave him an added air of restraint and quiet allure.
The moment she saw him, Fengguang had a feeling—this man had to be Qi Wei.
Zhang Huai glanced back at her and said to Qi Wei, “This is Miss Xia Fengguang, Nangong Zhe’s fiancée. She’s here today to see him.”
“Nangong Zhe’s fiancée?”
When his gaze fell on her, Fengguang straightened slightly, doing her best to appear poised and elegant. “I am Nangong Zhe’s fiancée.”
“…Miss Xia,” Qi Wei said as tactfully as possible, “from a doctor’s perspective, I would advise you not to see Nangong Zhe. His condition is very serious. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to visit him right now.”
“I understand, but I have something very important to discuss with him.”
Zhang Huai added kindly, “That’s why I thought perhaps Doctor Qi could accompany Miss Xia. With you there, her safety would be better ensured.”
Qi Wei looked at Fengguang. “Miss Xia, are you certain you want to go?”
“Yes, I’m certain.” She nodded firmly.
“…Alright.” Qi Wei sighed helplessly. “Miss Xia, come with me.”
The moment he agreed, Fengguang immediately followed behind him, clearly excited.
As they walked toward Nangong Zhe’s room, she quietly observed him along the way—and the more she looked, the more satisfied she felt. Not only was he handsome, but he also had that restrained, abstinent doctor vibe. It was completely her type.
Of course, she hadn’t forgotten her purpose in coming here. One reason was Nangong Zhe—the other was him. Testing the waters, she asked, “Doctor Qi, why did you choose to work here?”
Qi Wei’s eyes carried a faint smile. “They needed people here, so I came.”
“Have you ever thought about when you might leave?”
“Well…” he said, “I haven’t really thought about it. I’m a doctor—where there are patients, there are doctors. Staying here isn’t a bad thing.”
“What about in the future, when you get married and have children?” she asked casually. “Would you still stay here—and bring your wife and kids to live on this island too?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she might have gone too far. For a stranger, that question was a bit too abrupt.
