“The surgery will take a few hours, it’s a waiting game anyway,” Mo Shiting said, looking down at her.

“But…”

Gu Li wanted to say something more, but was stared down by the man,

“Anymore nonsense and I’ll leave you behind.”

Gu Li:

In a short while, the elevator doors opened. Mo Shiting carried her out in large strides, not putting her down until they arrived at Lu Cong’s office.

“Dr. Lu is operating on the old lady, why did you bring me to his office?” puzzled Gu Li.

Mo Shiting coldly replied, “To apply medicine.”

With that, he turned around and walked to a row of cabinets.

Seeing him expertly taking out a medical box, Gu Li surmised that he had frequented this place for treatment. Was he often injured, she wondered.

Before she could contemplate any further, the man had already returned to her side.

Gu Li instinctively reached out to take the medical box. To her surprise, however, he put the box aside and sat down next to her.

Gu Li blinked her curled eyelashes, curiously looking at him, “You’re not going to apply the medicine yourself, are you?”

Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow with a counter question, “Is that not allowed?”

“Of course it is! I’m flattered, hehe.”

Gu Li forced a laugh.

Mo Shiting curved his lips, “Stop laughing, it’s hideous.”

“Humph!”

She huffed daintily, and then unabashedly changed her posture, stretching out both legs and resting them confidently on his lap.

Mo Shiting:

“Move them!”

“Aren’t you going to apply medicine for me? It’s more convenient this way.” After saying this, Gu Li cheekily winked at him, “Thank you, Brother Ting.” The girl’s voice was soft and sweet, carrying with it a pleasing charm. Mo

Shiting couldn’t help but smile, succumbing to her antics.

He opened the medical box. Inside, there were all sorts of medications and he quickly found a burn ointment to apply on her wounds.

The cool touch of the ointment gradually seeped into her skin, effectively alleviating the prior discomfort and pain.

Gu Li pursed her lips, unconsciously looking at him.

There were traces of rare warmth lingering between the man’s refined eyes and brows. Moved, she involuntarily reached out, intending to touch his face.

Yet, as if he had a sixth sense, Mo Shiting suddenly turned his head to look at her as she reached out towards him.

Their eyes met, and Gu Li immediately retracted her hand that was in mid-air, startled.

Oh thank heavens she stopped in time, otherwise being caught red-handed attempting to take liberties with him would have been so embarrassing.

Mo Shiting frowned, “What were you trying to do?”

“Not doing anything.”

Gu Li answered with an especially bright smile, “I was just swatting a mosquito.”

Mo Shiting gave her a long, somewhat skeptical look, “Swatting mosquitoes with one hand, you’re quite remarkable.”

Gu Li:

It took a long while, but Mo Shiting finally finished applying the medicine for Gu Li.

Luckily, the wound wasn’t too serious. Otherwise, if left untreated for this long, it would undoubtedly have scarred.

By the time they returned, the old lady’s surgery still hadn’t been completed.

However, quite a few more people had gathered at the entrance of the operating room, including Song Yunque.

Seeing them approach, Song Yunque immediately greeted them, “Fourth

Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law.”

Noticing the bandage on Gu Li’s leg, he asked worriedly, “Fourth Sister-in-law, what happened to your leg? Are you okay?”

Gu Li gave him a faint smile, “It’s no big deal, thank you for your concern.” Her smile, caught in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Song, was particularly grating. But they’d learned their lesson this time and didn’t dare confront Mo Shiting directly.

Half an hour later, the surgery was finally over.

The doors opened, and Dr. Lu, clad in his white coat, was the first to emerge. Everyone hurriedly surrounded him.

He took off his mask, and said to Mo Shiting, “The old lady has been saved.

This time, we have Gu Li to thank for her successful emergency treatment..”
