Chapter 174: Chapter 175: Donât Tear Us Apart (Pleading for Monthly Tickets)
The observation room was dead still, but the addition of Tiantian could be said to have brought a bit more vitality to the hospital.
Everyone liked to tease the child.
Unfortunately, without Chen Cang speaking, Tiantian firmly covered her mouth with her hand and kept silent.
Xu Liang, seeing his daughter was all right now, felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off his heart and was filled with relief.
His wife also felt at ease enough to reproach him, looking at Xu Liang, âLetâs see if you take child care seriously from now on!â
Xu Liang, with righteous indignation, picked up his phone, looked at his daughter, and said, âTiantian, Daddy swears never to play games again, Iâll play with you every day!â
After saying this, he picked up his phone and decisively uninstalled the game.
Chen Cang sighedâthe game could be reinstalled if removed, but a lost child could not be brought back.
There had been too many incidents in the emergency room due to men watching children!
Truth be told, men are truly irresponsible with children. Just last year, a little boy ate all of his motherâs lipstick after breaking it.
The child ended up fine, but that man was quite miserable, so they say.
Thereâs a saying online that a fatherâs child care at most guarantees the child stays alive, but it seems now this statement is up for debate!
Seeing the child was fine, Chen Cang felt relieved and left the ward.
As soon as he walked out the door, Xu Liang and his wife pulled Chen Cang to the corner of the stairway.
Chen Cang was taken abackâis this an attempted abduction?
But⦠both of them together?
Considering what the little girl said before, Chen Cang immediately understood âit wasnât about money or abduction!
It wasâ¦
An elopement?!
Xu Liang took out a stack of money from his pocket and tried to stuff it into Chen Cangâs pocket!
Chen Cang quickly stepped back, immediately refusing.
Xu Liang, with a serious and grateful expression, said, âDoctor Chen, this is my way of showing gratitude. You saved my child, Iâm endlessly thankful. This is just a small token of appreciation. If you donât accept it, I really wonât be able to forgive myself!â
The woman by his side also said, âDoctor Chen, you must accept it! Youâre our familyâs savior, we donât even know what to say or what you like, so please buy something for yourself.â
Chen Cang sighed, looked at the two, âActually, this money, if you give it to me, Iâd have to go and pay your bills with it. Iâm quite busy and donât have the time to do that, so youâd better keep it.â
âThis is a hallway, and people are always coming and going. Letâs not cause a scene that would make things awkward later.â
After Chen Cang finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Leaving the couple to look at each other in bewilderment.
[Ding! The task of Medical Ethics and Professionalism is triggered, refusing to accept the red envelope, earning +1 Skill Point!]
Chen Cang was stunned!
What the heck?
This works too!
He had scored a big win!
For Chen Cang, skill points were far more precious than money.
It seemed that Mr. Room had given him an impressive taskâthis was a top-tier NPC, a real big shot. Thinking this, Chen Cang felt that he would undoubtedly go further and further on the path of saving lives, offering help, and upholding justice!
Tiantian was supposed to be discharged that day, but she just didnât want to go. No matter what anyone said, she wanted to stay in the hospital for a few more days. After discussing it, Xu Liang and his wife decided to stay for a few more days, at least for peace of mind.
So, like that, the emergency room saw the addition of a little girl who brought a pink lunchbox every day, and Chen Cang found himself with a little wifey who delivered his meals.
Every day at mealtime, Tiantian would bring over a small Peppa Pig pink lunch box to Chen Cang, urging him to eat.
If Chen Cang wouldnât eat, she simply wouldnât leave, so he had no choice but to eat.
Little Tiantian stood there, the picture of domesticity, and once Chen Cang had finished eating, she would grab the lunch box and run off with a smile.
Thus, the emergency roomâs routine was brightened by the presence of this little girl, acting like a lubricant to the tension and anxiety, putting more smiles on everyoneâs faces.
As soon as Tiantian entered the doctorsâ office, everyone would tease, âChen Cang, your little wifey has brought you lunch!â
Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile.
But Tiantian, her face beaming with happiness, seemed even more thrilled than if she had eaten honey.
This time, after Chen Cang had finished eating, Tiantian climbed onto a chair nearby, took a tissue from her pocket, and carefully wiped Chen Cangâs mouth. The sight set off a round of playful jeers from everyone!
And she wiped thoroughly, very carefully, once done, Tiantian tilted her head and pointed at her own cheek at Chen Cang.
Chen Cang laughed heartily, picked her up, and planted a kiss on her cheek!
Truth be told, he really had grown to like this little girl, she was so adorable!
Tiantianâs cheeks instantly flushed red.
Seeing Tiantian so endearing, Wang Qian couldnât hold back either, hurrying over to hug the child, âTiantian, Uncle wants a kiss too!â
Tiantianâs expression changed, and she took off running!
After bolting out and seeing that no one was chasing her, she circled back, crept stealthily into the room once she saw Wang Qian wasnât there, grabbed her lunchbox, and scampered away.
This made everyone burst into laughter.
Even the nurses doing the dressings in the emergency room would have to call Tiantian âChen Cangâs little wifeyâ instead of her name to get her to obediently show her wound with a smile, just like the lady of the house would.
Two days later, it was time for Tiantian to be discharged. After Xu Liang completed the procedures, he was ready to take Tiantian home.
When Tiantian learned her parents were taking her away, she cried her heart out, refusing to be pulled away, and kept saying, âMommy, mommy, donât tear us apart⦠I will only marry Uncle Chen Cang.â
Her words were heart-wrenching, loaded with deep emotion and affection!
Everyone present didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
Xu Liang also gave an embarrassed chuckle and looked at his wife, âHoney, why do I feel like weâve become the villains from a TV show? Tearing apart true lovers, huh?â
Xu Tiantian stopped crying, nodded, and said, âExactly⦠Daddy, can you please not be a bad guy? Donât tear us apartâ¦â
However, Xu Tiantianâs resistance was futile, and in the end, she was taken away.
Chen Cang watched the little girl leave with a smile, finding her truly adorable!
At that moment, Qin Yue suddenly popped up from behind, âWhatâs the matter? Canât bear to let her go?â
Chen Cang instantly smiled, âWhatâs there to miss?â
Qin Yue laughed, âWhatâs there to miss? You say it so easily, but she might just be the only girl whoâs ever been deeply affectionate towards you in the 27 years youâve lived. Arenât you going to cherish that? All⦠people talk about being naive, but once Tiantian grows up and looks back on this, sheâll surely have regrets!â
Chen Cang scoffed, âRight, how about that boyfriend of yours you went to the movies with? Howâs that going?â
Qin Yue turned to glance at Chen Cang, âNone of your business!â
After saying that, Qin Yue strode off.
Wang Qian quietly moved closer, letting out a regretful sigh, âCang Er, your little wifey just left, and youâre already hitting on Qin Yue? Thatâs heartless, donât you think? Look at Tiantian, crying her eyes out when leaving, as if it were a life-or-death farewell, such deep and sincere emotions⦠And look at you⦠oh⦠men are all heartbreakers!â
After that, Wang Qian shook his head in disappointment and walked away.
Leaving Chen Cang in a state of confusion.
