Chapter 255: Meeting Divine Doctor Xue Again
As Lin Chen kept calling out “Dad,” Wang Haoran continued to receive rewards. However, the rewards gradually diminished until there were none left. Despite that, the total rewards he received were still quite substantial.
“Okay, enough,” Wang Haoran finally said, noticing there were no more rewards to gain and losing interest in hearing Lin Chen call him “Dad.”
“Dad… Dad,” Lin Chen continued out of habit before stopping. “I’ve called you countless times as you asked. Can we exchange your Bugatti with my Pagani now?”
Wang Haoran nodded, playing the part. “Hmm, I’ll consider it.”
“You, you, you… how can you go back on your word?!” Lin Chen exclaimed, feeling deceived and showing both surprise and anger on his face.
“Where did I go back on my word? Think carefully about what I said earlier,” Wang Haoran replied calmly.
“You said, ‘No need to add money, just call me Dad once, and I’ll consider swapping cars with you,’” Lin Chen recalled, repeating Wang Haoran’s earlier words.
“That’s right. I only said I’d consider it, not that I’d definitely swap cars with you,” Wang Haoran explained.
“You, you, you… ah!!!” Lin Chen became frantic and lunged at Wang Haoran as if ready to fight.
Wang Haoran held Lin Chen’s small head with his hand, preventing him from advancing even an inch.
Lin Chen’s short arms flailed around, unable to reach Wang Haoran’s clothes.
After a while, Lin Chen exhausted himself.
The scene was quite comical.
However, the only onlooker, Bian Suwen, didn’t find it amusing.
“Xiao Chen, go find the other sisters. I have something to discuss with him alone,” Bian Suwen said to Lin Chen.
“Third Sister, this guy is very cunning and not a good person. You shouldn’t be alone with him,” Lin Chen advised.
“With my skills, do you think I need to be afraid of him?” Bian Suwen replied.
Lin Chen was taken aback, then nodded, giving Wang Haoran a disdainful glance.
Not only was Third Sister skilled in medicine, but her martial prowess wasn’t lacking either. He figured this guy couldn’t do anything to her.
“Teach him a good lesson for me,” Lin Chen whispered to Bian Suwen before leaving in a huff.
On the rooftop, only Wang Haoran and Bian Suwen remained.
Bian Suwen looked at Wang Haoran earnestly and said, “I need your help. Please transfer your Bugatti to me. Name your conditions, and I’ll agree to them all.”
Her words carried a suggestive undertone.
However, Wang Haoran understood that if he made any excessive demands, Bian Suwen would immediately turn hostile.
After some thought, Wang Haoran took a few steps forward and said gently, “I was just joking with your brother earlier. Don’t take it to heart. It’s just a Bugatti. If you want it, I’ll give it to you.” With that, he took out the keys and held them out in his palm.
Hearing this, Bian Suwen was stunned.
[Ding, the female lead Bian Suwen’s favorability towards the host has increased by 10. Current total favorability is 30 (very friendly).]
[Ding, the host has influenced the plot direction, gaining 600 villain points. Lin Chen’s protagonist halo -30, host’s villain halo +30!]
After a moment of surprise, Bian Suwen reached out to take the keys from Wang Haoran’s hand.
Seeing this, Wang Haoran seized the opportunity to gently grasp Bian Suwen’s hand.
Bian Suwen’s eyes showed a hint of panic. “What are you doing?”
Wang Haoran said mysteriously, “Sometimes in my dreams, I see a figure that haunts my soul. Do you know who it is?”
Bian Suwen avoided Wang Haoran’s gaze, saying, “How would I know who it is?”
Wang Haoran took a few more steps closer to Bian Suwen, who instinctively backed away until she was cornered against the wall.
“Do you want to know who it is?” Wang Haoran tilted his head, observing Bian Suwen’s evasive gaze.
This time, Bian Suwen didn’t avoid his eyes and met Wang Haoran’s gaze directly.
Compared to a few years ago, he had become much more handsome, with a unique noble aura. In terms of appearance, even the young talents of the imperial capital couldn’t compare.
[Ding, the female lead Bian Suwen’s favorability towards the host has increased by 10. Current total favorability is 40 (very friendly).]
Bian Suwen stared intently, lost in thought for several minutes. After a while, she realized her lapse and withdrew her gaze, her expression returning to its usual calmness. She said, “I don’t want to know, but if you continue to be so rude, I won’t be polite to you.”
Hearing this, Wang Haoran knew it was enough, so he released her hand.
Bian Suwen’s hand was free, but she felt a slight emptiness in her heart.
However, this fleeting emotion was quickly suppressed as she picked up Wang Haoran’s keys and drove away the Bugatti from the parking lot.
In the afternoon, Bian Suwen returned to the hospital, but the Bugatti was gone. However, she brought someone back with her.
This person was not unfamiliar to Wang Haoran.
It was none other than Divine Doctor Xue, who had been tricked into a failed rescue attempt.
Compared to a few months ago, Divine Doctor Xue looked unkempt, with a scruffy beard and a much more haggard appearance, lacking his previous arrogant demeanor.
It seemed that the past few months had been quite difficult for him.
Divine Doctor Xue hadn’t met Wang Haoran when he was tricked last time, so he naturally didn’t recognize him.
To him, everyone here except Bian Suwen was unfamiliar.
In the hospital corridor, Divine Doctor Xue glanced at Wang Haoran, Qiu Qianwei, and others, then asked Bian Suwen, “Martial Aunt, who are these people?”
“This is my Seventh Sister, Sixth Sister, Fifth Sister, and my Eighth Brother,” Bian Suwen briefly introduced her family, finally resting her gaze on Wang Haoran. “This is… my friend.”
With a favorability of 40, which was very friendly, Bian Suwen’s use of the word “friend” was quite justified.
Hearing Bian Suwen’s words, Divine Doctor Xue bowed respectfully and greeted everyone, “Hello, hello…”
Although he was older, his seniority was lower than Bian Suwen’s, so he was naturally respectful to her peers and friends.
Wang Haoran watched this scene with a sigh.
A few months ago, Divine Doctor Xue wasn’t this polite, often looking down on people. But now, he was all about manners and courtesy.
Sigh, it seemed that after experiencing the harshness of society, he had become a new person.
Wang Haoran almost felt embarrassed.
While Wang Haoran was thinking this, Lin Chen said to Divine Doctor Xue, “You’re older, so you don’t need to be so formal with anyone except my Third Sister.”
Hearing these mature words, Divine Doctor Xue looked at the young Lin Chen in surprise.
Seeing this, Bian Suwen added, “This brother of mine is a prodigy. Despite his young age, he knows a lot and has a deep understanding of medicine.”
“Really?!” Divine Doctor Xue was surprised, then extended his old hand to shake Lin Chen’s. “Hello, hello.”
“I told you, no need to be so formal.”
“Oh, no, no, it’s necessary.”
The old and the young exchanged smiles, their mutual understanding evident.
Wang Haoran watched this and immediately dismissed his earlier sympathy for Divine Doctor Xue.
He had thought that with the demise of the shameless War God Su Lang, Divine Doctor Xue wouldn’t be causing trouble anymore. But as soon as he appeared, he got along well with another protagonist.
