Chapter 24 Take the initiative
Jiang Yunian ignored Shen Mengnan’s winking and said in a very calm tone: “I heard from the dean that a group of athletes will come to our hospital for treatment in the near future. They will come to create files today. You will be busy.”

Shen Mengnan suddenly realized that his good brother was trying to gain resources for him. He picked up his roast goose rice and said, “Sister Xianxian, I’ll treat you to a big meal when I’m done with this! Let’s go!”

Lin Xian started to wonder why Shen Mengnan seemed a little afraid of Jiang Yunian.

After the noisy Shen Mengnan left, the office returned to silence.

Jiang Yunian was having dinner, so Lin Xian didn’t want to disturb him. She sat down at her desk and repeatedly checked the schedule for the next two days.

But I just can’t seem to calm down.

Jiang Yunian ate without making any noise. He was very well-mannered and slow, as if he was enjoying his meal rather than just filling his stomach.

It was just a box lunch, but he tasted like it was Michelin.

Lin Xian glanced at his cheek and wondered in her heart how he did it.

Jiang Yunian was secretly thinking in his mind how he could kick Chen Ji out.

He hates Chen Ji.

Even though I have been loved unconditionally by Lin Xian, I am still not satisfied.

Growing up, he rarely hated something. His father only taught him that if something belonged to him, he must defend it firmly and keep it at all costs.

He wanted to make Lin Xian his own.

Once I had this thought, I couldn’t seem to stop thinking about it.

Jiang Yunian put down his chopsticks, closed his eyes, and silently started a game of chess in his mind.

He urgently needed to calm down and see if his thoughts would change.

If nothing changes, he will take action.

Seeing Jiang Yunian leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest, Lin Xian carefully stood up and took away the lunch box for him.

When he came back, Jiang Yunian’s brows were furrowed, as if he had had a nightmare.

Lin Xian turned up the temperature of the air conditioner and took out a blanket to cover Jiang Yunian.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I put the blanket on his chest, he opened his eyes.

Lin Xian didn’t mean to get so close, it was just because Jiang Yunian draped his white coat behind the sofa while eating, and she wanted to take it away. However, before she finished the first action, he woke up.

She retreated somewhat awkwardly but was stopped by Jiang Yunian.

He gently held her wrist, his eyes lowered. Her wrist was thin and white, like a fragile flower stem that could be destroyed with the slightest force, yet it exuded a stubborn pride.

She would rather break than bend, just like her.

“Thank you, I am indeed a little cold.”

Although she only held it unconsciously for less than a second, Lin Xian felt as if her skin was about to burn.

Jiang Yunian has very long fingers with distinct joints and obvious veins on the back of his hands. The cuffs of his shirt are rolled up to his forearms, and the undulating lines are full of power.

Lin Xian looked away in panic.

“You go to sleep first, I won’t disturb you.”

She fled in panic, with a flash of panic in her eyes.

Jiang Yunian made the decision almost at that moment.

After the typhoon passed, there was no reason to keep her, so he needed to find a reason to let Lin Xian stay.

After lunch, Jiang Yunian took a look at his schedule. Lin Xian really treated him like a god.

There are four surgeries scheduled for the next two days, including one involving a difficult wealthy man.

This patient is not only disobedient but also troublesome and notoriously picky. If it weren’t for his father’s face, no one would be willing to see him again.

The previous assistant accidentally registered his name incorrectly, which made him hate her and almost ruined the girl’s career.

If Jiang Yunian hadn’t fired the person first, who knows how big a mess that rich man would have caused.

Jiang Yunian rubbed his eyebrows. This man postponed the surgery for half a year and did not go to the hospital in advance. I don’t know what he was thinking.

That afternoon, Jiang Yunian finished his ward rounds, went on a patient visit, and finally went to the dean’s room to discuss medical records. He was very busy.

Lin Xian didn’t see him until she got off work. However, Sister Lan sent him two sets of uniforms.

“Ah Xian, this was specially ordered by Dr. Jiang. You are the only one in the hospital.”

Lin Xian was a little flattered. She took the two sets of uniforms and felt they were heavy.

“Thank you sister.”

Sister Lan looked at her with a smile on her face, “Why are you thanking me? The man who harassed you at noon is not a good person. Remember to stay away from him.”

Lin Xian smiled stiffly, “I know.”

Back in the room, Lin Xian changed into her uniform.

She originally thought it would be something like what a nurse would wear, but she didn’t expect it to be a neat shirt and black trousers.

One set is a white shirt and the other set is a light blue shirt.

Lin Xian’s mind flashed with Jiang Yunian’s attire. He seemed to wear a shirt often.

Do you want to dress more maturely?
Looking at herself in the mirror, Lin Xian let her ponytail down, tied her shirt around her waist, and stood tall, indeed looking a bit more mature.

However, she was leaving soon.

This dress can only be worn a few times, so it’s a bit of a waste.

How should I explain this clearly to Jiang Yunian?

That night, Lin Xian was waiting for Jiang Yunian to come find her and arrange a new job for her.

I pricked up my ears to listen to the noise next door and found that Jiang Yunian had not come back.

Lin Xian called up the dialog box with Jiang Yunian and sent a message after thinking it over.

[Doctor Jiang, I received the uniform. Thank you.]

Jiang Yunian was at a family dinner at the time. When he saw the message, he quickly moved his phone under the table.

[Does it fit? If not, you can modify it.]

[Very suitable. I want to tell you something. Are you busy now? ]

Jiang Yunian’s smile froze. He knew what Lin Xian wanted to say, but he didn’t want to hear it now.

[I have something to say. I will talk to you tomorrow.]

Putting away his phone, Jiang Yunian met his sister’s gaze.

“Brother, who are you messaging? I went to the apartment yesterday, how come two sets of clothes are missing for no reason?”

Jiang Yunian’s younger sister, Lu Xiyuan, takes her mother’s surname. She is 22 years old this year and is preparing to go to the University of Hong Kong for postgraduate studies. The girl who grew up surrounded by love has a cheerful and carefree personality.

Jiang Yunian took a sip of juice and said casually: “You have so many clothes, it’s not surprising to lose one or two.”

Lu Xiyuan immediately turned around and took her mother’s arm, “Mommy, I think something is wrong with my brother. Have you arranged a blind date for him?”

Jiang Yunian met his parents’ gazes and said, “You know, I have no interest in marriage.”

Lu Xiyuan sneered: “I know, if you don’t get married and have children, Daddy and Mommy don’t know how long they will have to wait to have grandchildren.”

The atmosphere in the Jiang family is very good. The person in power is Jiang Yunian’s father, who is now in his prime and does not interfere too much in his children’s choices.

Only at the end of the dinner did Jiang’s father casually say, “Jiatong will come back at the end of the month to celebrate your Uncle Zhou’s birthday. Remember not to schedule surgery then.”

Jiang Yunian’s smile did not reach his eyes, “I know.”

After dinner, Jiang Yunian returned to his room, stood on the balcony, enjoying the breeze and looking outside quietly.

The white moon broke through the clouds and reflected on the sea.

Amidst the ripples, he saw Lin Xian’s face, and his memory gradually became clear.

A few years ago, she was just a teenage girl, and fate stopped at that mountain.

And now, he has to take the initiative.
