Chapter 80 My Best Friend Is Next Door
5:30 PM, changing room, inpatient department of the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Several nurses who had finished their shifts were changing clothes, chatting away.
The focus of the conversation was Xu Yuan, who was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror in the corner.
"Wow, Yuanyuan looks so elegant today? Something's up?"
A short-haired nurse came over and teased her with a grin.
"No, I just left work at the normal time."
Xu Yuan rubbed her freshly applied lipstick, checked it in the mirror, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Come on!"
Another slightly older nurse chimed in, gossiping, "Usually you just wipe your face after get off work, but today you took a shower, touched up your makeup, and even sprayed on perfume—tsk, it's Hermès Terre d'Hermes, isn't it? Tell me honestly, did you make plans with someone?"
A commotion immediately erupted in the locker room, everyone straining their ears to hear what was going on with Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan is a well-known beauty at the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
She has a great figure, a sweet face, and a cheerful personality.
The line of men pursuing her could stretch from the inpatient ward to the outpatient building.
Young, unmarried resident physicians, and divorced associate chief physicians.
There were even a few family members of patients who were said to be wealthy, who made overt or covert attempts to curry favor with them.
People often treat them to milk tea and fruit, trying to curry favor with their colleagues.
They all knew this perfectly well and were happy to benefit from Xu Yuan's fame.
But seeing Xu Yuan's unusual attire now, my gossip instincts immediately kicked in.
"Is it that orthopedic surgeon who returned from overseas? I saw him send you flowers yesterday."
"Come on, that stingy guy, the flowers he sent were all from the patients' families. I think Deputy Director Liu from the gastroenterology department is more reliable. Although he's divorced, he has no children, owns a 140-square-meter penthouse, and drives a Q7. If it were me, I would have agreed long ago."
"What are you all guessing? Maybe it's the son of that former deputy director of the finance bureau—"
Xu Yuan's ears hurt from their noise, and she shook her head with a helpless smile.
"It's not what you think, it's just a friend."
"friend?"
The short-haired nurse's eyes lit up. "A friend who would dress up so carefully for our Yuanyuan must be someone important! Why don't you introduce us to them?"
"Yes, yes, yes! We'd love to see who this person is!"
Xu Yuan initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought about it again.
Given how gossipy these people are, if we don't let them see the real person, the rumors will spread throughout the entire hospital by tomorrow.
Moreover, a hidden desire to show off also arose in her heart.
So, Xu Yuan stopped hiding her intentions and said frankly, "Okay, then come down with me. He should be here by now."
Several nurses cheered, quickly changed their clothes, and escorted Xu Yuan downstairs.
Cars come and go at the entrance of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Several nurses stood on the steps looking around. The short-haired nurse, with sharp eyes, pointed to a car not far away and exclaimed in surprise.
"Is that a Panamera? What's this color called again, purple?"
"Provence Purple".
Xu Yuan spoke softly, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.
Under the sunlight, the purple Panamera gleamed with an elegant and delicate luster.
Its streamlined body and low-slung stance make it particularly eye-catching.
The car door opened, and a man stepped out.
A simple white shirt, black casual pants, and a striking green gold dreadlock bracelet on her wrist.
He was tall and upright, and although his features weren't particularly handsome, he had a calm and composed demeanor.
Huang Tianchao glanced over, his gaze landing on Xu Yuan and the women around her, and he immediately smiled knowingly.
The nurses collectively gasped, feeling as if they had swallowed a basket of lemons—incredibly sour.
"My goodness, Yuanyuan, is this your boyfriend? He's so young and already drives a Porsche?"
"I thought he was an old man, but he looks only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Yuanyuan, you've hit the jackpot!"
"Sister Yuan, if you find any good resources, please introduce them to me. I'll definitely repay you!"
Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of her colleagues, Xu Yuan strode down the steps and stood before Huang Tian.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Xu Yuan's face felt a little hot; she was embarrassed because she had used Huang Tian to put on an act.
"I just arrived too."
Huang Tian naturally took the bag from Xu Yuan's hand and smiled as he held her hand.
"Let's go."
Xu Yuan turned to her colleagues who were still standing on the steps, dumbfounded, and waved happily.
"I'm off now, bye!"
"Bye-bye."
Several nurses waved mechanically, their eyes still fixed on Huang Tian's retreating figure.
They didn't come to their senses until the Panamera drove into traffic.
"My goodness, Xu Yuan has struck gold!"
"That car must cost over a million, right? And that watch looks like a Rolex Submariner 'Hulk'? No, it's gold, it must be quite expensive!"
"More than that, you can tell from their demeanor that they're not just an ordinary rich person."
"I'm so jealous! Why don't I have a boyfriend like that? I'd have to do laundry and cook when I get home."
"Wake up! Xu Yuan is beautiful and has a great figure, what do you have?"
"...
'
In the car, Xu Yuan fastened her seatbelt and secretly glanced at Huang Tian.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Despite what happened that night, Huang Tian gave her a promise and money.
However, the time the two actually spent alone together was pitifully short.
There was no ambiguity, they went straight to it.
Xu Yuan was actually very uneasy. What did Huang Tian think of her?
Is it just for fun, or is it a real long-term plan?
As for the idea of getting a permanent position, Xu Yuan certainly had it.
But she was clear-headed and knew it was unrealistic.
Huang Tian is so young and so rich.
My future marriage partner will definitely be a wealthy heiress from a family of equal social standing.
All she could do was try to make herself valuable so that Huang Tian wouldn't want to let her go.
"Are you tired from work today?"
Huang Tian took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.
"It's alright, just ward rounds, changing dressings, and writing records."
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "And you? What were you busy with today?"
"We found an office for Hu Yixin's new company, and it's just been finalized."
Huang Tian casually said, "It's on the 50th floor of the Global Metropolis Plaza. The view is great. I'll take you there for a look once the renovations are finished."
"Okay, sure."
Xu Yuan felt a little envious, but she didn't show it.
It's obvious without even thinking that Hu Yixin is one of Huang Tian's other women in Guangzhou.
Although she felt envious, Xu Yuan was mostly at ease.
Since Huang Tian can open companies and rent offices for other women, he might treat her the same way in the future.
What she had to do was make the man in front of her happy.
As long as Huang Tian is happy, the rewards he gives her will naturally be plentiful.
The car drove into the underground parking lot of the Garden Hotel.
Huang Tian parked the car and took Xu Yuan upstairs in the elevator.
"What are we doing here?"
Xu Yuan was a little nervous, thinking that Huang Tian was going to take her to a hotel.
Refusing was definitely out of the question, but it was her first time coming to a hotel with a man, and her palms were sweating with nervousness.
"Don't overthink it. We're going to a restaurant called Tai'anmen, which is located on the second floor of this hotel."
Huang Tian looked at Xu Yuan with amusement, "This restaurant is a long-established two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Guangzhou, and the food is pretty good."
Xu Yuan had naturally heard of Tai'anmen's reputation, and she should never underestimate the competitive mentality of the nurses in the hospital.
The average cost starts at 2000+ per person, and one meal costs more than half a month's salary for her.
Although Xu Yuan now has more than a million yuan in her account, her frugal habits, which she developed since childhood, still make her instinctively reluctant to spend it.
"Great, I've never eaten at a Michelin-starred restaurant before."
Xu Yuan didn't show it, she just nodded obediently.
The restaurant has an elegant and private ambiance with soft lighting.
The waiters were respectful but not obsequious, and handed them the menus.
Looking at the incomprehensible English names and prices on the menu, Xu Yuan had no choice but to ask Huang Tian for help ordering.
"You order, I'm fine with anything."
Huang Tian smiled and told the waiter a few dishes.
Appetizer, soup, main course, dessert, and wine pairing.
The meal lasted for more than two hours, and both of them were very satisfied.
This was Xu Yuan's first time experiencing a restaurant of this caliber.
Each dish was as exquisite as a work of art, and the taste was truly amazing.
But while she was eating, she was also observing Huang Tian's behavior, speech, and attitude towards the waiters.
The more Xu Yuan observed, the more she felt that this man was not simple.
Calm and confident, but not arrogant.
They have an appreciation for food, but they don't boast about it.
Such a man is so charming!
After the meal, Huang Tian called a designated driver.
On the way home, Xu Yuan leaned back in her seat.
Looking at the night view flashing past the window, I made a decision.
"Brother Tian, thank you for dinner tonight. I'm very happy."
The car stopped downstairs at her home. Xu Yuan unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to look at Huang Tian.
"As long as you're happy."
Huang Tian smiled and said, "Go on upstairs and get some rest."
Xu Yuan bit her lip and suddenly reached out to grab Huang Tian's hand.
"Would you like to come up and sit for a while?"
Huang Tian paused for a moment, somewhat tempted, but still politely declined.
"No, Xinran is at home, it's inconvenient for me to go up."
"She's locked herself in her room for the past few days and hasn't come out."
Xu Yuan's voice was soft, but her eyes were firm.
"Besides, you're my boyfriend now, so it's perfectly normal for you to live with me."
"it is good."
Huang Tian looked at Xu Yuan, remained silent for a few seconds, and then nodded.
He wasn't lustful; he was simply worried about Xu Yuan's safety.
Xu Yuan was overjoyed and pulled Huang Jian out of the car.
As for the designated driver, after receiving the extra tip, he watched with envy as Huang Tian took the hot Xu Yuan upstairs with his arm around her.
Upstairs, Xu Yuan cautiously opened the door like a thief.
The living room was dark and quiet.
Qiao Xinran's room door was closed, and no light was coming out from under the door, so she was probably already asleep.
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Huang Tian into her room, and gently closed the door.
"Please have a seat, I'll go wash my hands."
Xu Yuan whispered as she went into the restroom.
Huang Tian looked around her room.
Last time, Qiao Xin caught him cheating in bed again, and he ran away before he could even take a good look.
The room wasn't big, but it was very clean.
The bed sheets were light pink, and there was a large brown teddy bear pillow. There were also a bunch of bottles and jars on the dressing table.
There was a faint fragrance in the air, the scent of Xu Yuan's perfume.
When Xu Yuan returned to her room, she could feel Huang Tian's gaze lingering on her.
Although somewhat shy, Xu Yuan walked up to Huang Tian, knelt on the wooden floor, and looked at the man who had changed the course of her life.
"Brother Tian, thank you for that night."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for taking responsibility for me."
Xu Yuan stated bluntly, "I was sober that night, and not only did you not blame me afterward, you also gave me so much—"
Seeing that Xu Yuan had gone to such lengths, Huang Tian naturally wouldn't dwell on such a trivial matter.
Xu Yuan is a bit scheming, but it's all for a better life.
After all, he was the one who profited the most, and supporting Xu Yuan wouldn't be a burden at all.
"Brother Tian, love me~"
Xu Yuan raised her head and kissed him.
The kiss was light, but firm.
Huang Tian responded to Xu Yuan, and everything happened naturally.
In the darkness, Xu Yuan was very proactive and enthusiastic.
Xu Yuan knows her strengths and how to make men happy.
She just hadn't expected the room to be so poorly soundproofed.
