Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1262 - 1263: Liar, Xiang Yiqing Is a Big Liar (Part 3)

The tone was urgent.

Xiang Yiqing agreed without hesitation, "Okay."

After hanging up, he drove to the next intersection and immediately made a U-turn.

When Xiang Yiqing arrived at the hospital, he saw Qiu Yang pacing anxiously outside their clinic. He quickened his steps to approach her, "You should hurry back."

Upon seeing him, Qiu Yang’s eyes lit up and she stepped forward, "I’ll handle things at home and come back."

She stuffed a few medical records into Xiang Yiqing’s hand, "Here are the cases of those two severe pneumonia patients. Please keep an eye on them."

"Okay." Xiang Yiqing nodded, then added, "No need to come back, just come tomorrow morning. I’ll cover your shift tonight."

Their home was in the old town. Even without traffic, it would take an hour to go back and forth. If she had to deal with things at home, it would likely be late at night by the time she returned.

Qiu Yang shook her head with a smile, "It’s fine, I’ll be back soon."

Xiang Yiqing said, "No need to be polite, consider it repayment for the patients you registered for me today."

Seeing his insistence, Qiu Yang had no choice but to nod, "Alright then, I’ll come early tomorrow."

"Okay."

Xiang Yiqing nodded as Qiu Yang turned and hurried away.

After watching her leave for a bit, Xiang Yiqing lowered his head to flip through the two medical records in his hand, understanding the condition of the critical patients.

After carefully reviewing them, he went to check on the wards with the nurse on duty.

This kind of matter couldn’t be taken lightly. Pneumonia could be serious, especially when coupled with a fever; they could become critical at any moment.

After some hectic work, more than an hour had passed.

Xiang Yiqing returned to the clinic, poured himself a cup of hot water, and sat down. His gaze unintentionally swept over a small sticker on the lower right corner of the computer’s frame.

Xin Xiaoxiao!!!

Only then did he remember that he had asked Xin Xiaoxiao to wait for him at his seaside villa.

Damn, in the rush, he had completely forgotten about it.

Xiang Yiqing, feeling guilty, picked up his phone and dialed Xin Xiaoxiao’s number.

"What exactly..."

Xin Xiaoxiao answered the call, but before she could finish her impatient remark, Xiang Yiqing urgently interrupted her with apologies, "Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry, Qiu Yang’s house had a water pipe burst, and the property management called her. She went home to deal with it and asked me to cover her shift. I was in such a hurry that I forgot about you."

He didn’t think too much and spoke the truth.

’Ha,’ Xin Xiaoxiao laughed, "Good thing I was just joking with you. I was worried you might actually come to find me, being uncertain about whether to go find you."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yiqing felt a bit relieved and yet an indescribable discomfort.

He asked softly, "So you’re at home now?"

Xin Xiaoxiao replied casually, "I’m out having fun with friends, can’t talk long as my friends find me annoying for being on a call."

As she finished speaking, the sound of car horns on the other end confirmed she was outside.

Xiang Yiqing pressed his lips together, speaking in a low voice, "Get home early."

"Got it, got it, you’re naggy."

’Snap.’

Hanging up the call, Xin Xiaoxiao fiercely threw her phone towards the flower bed two meters away, causing the screen to shatter upon impact.

Then she turned around, facing the sea, raised her head to sniff, and cursed softly, "Big jerk! Big liar!"

...

Xin Xiaoxiao was the one who ended the call. Hearing the busy tone ’beep beep’, Xiang Yiqing only then removed the phone from his ear.

Watching the screen gradually dim, he put down the phone, lifted his head, and his gaze unintentionally swept over the sticker at the lower right corner of the computer again.
