TSFLIP Chapter 1080

Qi Wei added, “Don’t worry, Miss Xia. I’ll have other staff come monitor him. If Mr. Nangong really is ill, we’ll provide treatment right away.”

“I understand.” Fengguang nodded. She couldn’t tell whether Nangong Zhe’s behavior earlier had been an act or genuine. If it was an act, it was disturbingly convincing. But if it wasn’t… what had he been trying to tell her?

Qi Wei led Fengguang back to his office and called in several doctors to observe Nangong Zhe. Soon, word came back that there was nothing seriously wrong with him.

Qi Wei set a glass of water on the table in front of her and said gently, “Miss Xia, you can relax now.”

“Mm…” She absentmindedly placed her hand on the cup, then quickly cried out and pulled it back—it was hot.

Seeing her hand turn red from the heat, Qi Wei paused before apologizing, “I’m sorry, I thought it was cold water.”

“It’s okay… I just wasn’t paying attention.”

“Perhaps someone brought hot water to my office and replaced the cold water.” Qi Wei quickly took out some burn ointment from a drawer and walked over. “Let me apply some medicine for you.”

“Okay…” Fengguang glanced at his hand, which was also slightly reddened from the heat, but she didn’t say anything.

Qi Wei held her hand and applied the cool white ointment. Lowering his gaze, he said, “I’m sorry that such a beautiful hand got hurt.”

“It’s really nothing.” One apology was fine, but hearing it repeatedly made her feel like she was the one being troublesome. “It’s just a minor burn. Dr. Qi, you don’t need to take it to heart.”

By now, Qi Wei was already wrapping her hand with gauze. Fengguang froze for a moment. “Dr. Qi, it’s just a small burn… is it really necessary to treat it this seriously, like it’s a major injury?”

She might be afraid of pain, but she wasn’t unfamiliar with getting hurt as a child. Besides, this was such a minor burn—it would heal in a day or two. He was being a bit overly meticulous.

Qi Wei looked up and smiled. “There’s no harm in being thorough, is there?”

Well… it just makes you seem overly precise.

Fengguang wasn’t sure whether it was a doctor’s professional habit or some kind of compulsion. She awkwardly pulled her hand back and smiled sheepishly. “Sorry for the trouble.”

“It’s my responsibility.” Qi Wei tidied up the medical supplies before sitting back down across from her.

Thankfully, there was a desk between them—otherwise, Fengguang wouldn’t have known where to put her hands.

He smiled and asked in a friendly tone, “Miss Xia, are you very concerned about Nangong Zhe?”

“How could I be concerned about him!” At the mention of his name, her emotions rose immediately. “If it weren’t for breaking off the engagement this time, I wouldn’t have come at all.”

“Mr. Nangong is… after all, different from ordinary people. Even if you want to end the engagement, that’s completely understandable. There was no need for you to come all the way to Diamond Island.”

“Isn’t it because the Nangong family said they needed Nangong Zhe’s consent?” She pouted. “They just don’t want their son to suffer alone, so they won’t let me have it easy either. Tell me, if you were a parent and found out your son had a serious, hard-to-treat condition, wouldn’t you take the initiative to cancel the engagement?”

“I can’t answer that.” Qi Wei’s slightly curved eyes carried a warm smile. “But as an outsider, my opinion is that it would be best for you to end the engagement with Mr. Nangong. His condition makes him unsuitable for starting a family.”
