Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Doctor Huo, are you feeling unwell?”

The gentle and cute nurse immediately moved to Huo Ting’s side, concerned over his health. The doctors in the office could tell that this new nurse was interested in Huo Ting, so they all looked at him scornfully.

“I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.” Huo Ting stepped back and refused the nurse’s touch. His expression was still as gentle as usual. “You should go and change the patient’s dressing. Don’t waste time.”

The nurse pouted and left the office sullenly.

The male doctors who were on good terms with Huo Ting burst into laughter. “Dr. Huo, you’ve hurt a little girl’s feelings again. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

“Don’t joke about this.” Huo Ting teased his colleagues. “Don’t you have anything else to do? All you do is look at me as a joke.”

“Hey, who told you to be the public enemy of men in our office?” A colleague put his arm on Huo Ting’s shoulder and winked at him. “That girl just now was pretty. Are you sure you’re not attracted to her?”

Huo Ting glanced at his colleague. “If you like her, just go ahead and chase her. You don’t have to ask me for information. I definitely won’t be in your way.”

“Dr. Huo is so understanding.” His colleague was immediately overjoyed. Then, he asked curiously, “Come to think of it. I’ve never seen you fall in love. What kind of woman do you like anyway?”

When his colleagues and friends talked about this topic before, Huo Ting always replied, “I haven’t met the right woman yet, so I don’t know myself.”

But this time, Huo Ting hesitated. Under the interrogation of his colleagues, he laughed and dealt with it.

After that, Huo Ting could not help but recall that when he was asked what kind of woman he liked, a figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Could love at first sight really exist in this world? Otherwise, why would Qiao Nuan always appear in Huo Ting’s mind? They had only met once.

He opened his phone’s contact list and looked at Qiao Nuan’s number, which had just been added to his list a few days ago. Huo Ting hesitated for a long time, but he still did not dial her number.

Huo Ting thought to himself, Qiao Nuan already had a child, so she would choose a relationship more carefully than other women. He could not pursue her recklessly, so he could only approach her slowly.

At the same time, Qiao Nuan also happened to think of Huo Ting.

Qiao Nuan left the hotel today to meet with the lawyer her mother had entrusted before she died to discuss her mother’s inheritance and the annulment of the engagement with the Su family.

“Lawyer Wang, why did my mother’s will specify that I can only inherit all of her assets after I get married?”

Qiao Nuan seemed a little frustrated. “I’m now a single mother. It’s equivalent to getting married and getting divorced. Can’t I just inherit it directly?”

Lawyer Wang shook his head and laughed, “Miss Qiao, you’re thinking too simply. Before your mother died, she discovered Qiao Lin’s true nature. In order to protect your rights to the maximum, she set the terms for you to inherit the inheritance after marriage. This is to prevent Qiao Lin from seizing what belongs to you using custody rights.”

“I can understand mother’s painstaking efforts…” Qiao Nuan let out a long sigh. “But now, the Su family refuses to break off the engagement, and Qiao Lin wants to force me to hand over my assets. Sometimes, I really want to kill them all.”

Lawyer Wang thought that Qiao Nuan was speaking in anger and did not take it to heart. “The engagement between you and Su He has been written and notarized. It can only be dissolved after both parties have reached an agreement. As long as you break off the engagement and find someone to marry, you will smoothly inherit your mother’s inheritance.”

“Even if I can quickly break off the engagement with Su He, I won’t be able to find someone to marry in a short period of time.” Qiao Nuan stirred the coffee in her cup gloomily.

Lawyer Wang was old, and he could not help but want to care about the marriage situation of young people. “You’re so young and beautiful. You should have lots of men going after you, right? Aren’t you attracted to any?”

“Who’s after me?” Qiao Nuan huffed, and her expression carried the sorrow of a young maiden. “I’ve even given birth to a child, but I’ve never been in a relationship before. Who would believe me if I told others?”

“If you meet a good man, you can also take the initiative to strike,” Lawyer Wang said with a laugh. “Now that men and women are equal, girls can also take the initiative to find true love.”

Hearing Lawyer Wang bring up this topic, Qiao Nuan somehow thought of Qiao Ning. Qiao Ning must have had a lot in common with lawyer Wang. After all, they both liked to rush into marriage.

Qiao Nuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Alright, Alright. Lawyer Wang, don’t worry about my marriage first. I just happen to have something that I need to trouble you with. Tomorrow, you and I will go look for Su He together and see if we can persuade him to break off the engagement.”

Lawyer Wang reminded her worriedly, “I heard that Su He was injured by you and is in the hospital. Tomorrow, I will go with you to visit him. Remember to control your emotions. Don’t do anything in the hospital.”

“I’m not a violent maniac.” Qiao Nuan rolled her eyes speechlessly.. “As long as Su He doesn’t provoke me, I’m won’t be bothered by a blockhead!”
