Chapter 123: Chapter 121: Undoing the Buttons
Such an alluring scene was not to be missed by Zhang Hao. He stood silently outside the door and sneaked a peek inside.
He discovered that Xu Mi stood with her back to him, bending over.
He didn’t know what she was searching for in there, but it took her a long time before she finally straightened up.
Upon a closer look, it turned out she was looking for her underwear and was about to come out after getting dressed.
Zhang Hao pretended to be looking for something as he walked out.
"Mr. Zhang, are you looking for something?"
"No... I wasn’t looking for anything. I was worried about you because you’ve been in there for quite a while, so I specifically came over from the kitchen to check."
Xu Mi looked down and smiled, saying, "Mr. Zhang, you’re really good to me."
Zhang Hao didn’t say much and turned back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
He quickly cooked two dishes and brought the steamed rice to the table.
"Come on, try and see how my cooking is? It’s rare for me to cook for someone outside of my family."
Xu Mi picked up her chopsticks, her face beaming with happiness.
"Mr. Zhang, you don’t know, but the person who cooks in this household is me. My parents are busy with work every day, and they don’t have time to cook after getting off work."
Zhang Hao had noticed this from the contents of her refrigerator.
It was filled with frozen foods like dumplings, wontons, and shumai.
"Well, you don’t have to cook today, so eat more."
In order not to create further complications, Zhang Hao found an excuse to leave while Xu Mi was eating.
"Mr. Zhang, why don’t you stay and have some? I can’t finish all this myself after all that cooking."
Zhang Hao, already at the door, waved his hands continuously and said, "If you can’t finish it, just leave the leftovers. I have some things to deal with when I get home tonight, no need to see me out."
Zhang Hao changed his shoes, took his medical kit, and left through the door.
Xu Mi gazed at the entrance, biting on her chopsticks, suddenly revealing a smile.
She turned her head to look at the simple meals on the table and felt warmth in her heart.
Thinking back to the patient asking Mr. Zhang if he was married, she felt that question had cleared up some doubts in her heart.
She was also very curious whether Zhang Hao had a significant other.
If he did, she would not entertain such thoughts.
If he didn’t, why not give it a try?
During the meal, Xu Mi got in touch with Ling Tong.
"What, you invited Mr. Zhang over to your place for dinner? What were you thinking?"
The comment Ling Tong left on her social media post was just a casual remark with no other intentions.
It was just a joke between good friends.
"I wasn’t really thinking much. I twisted my ankle, Mr. Zhang came over to visit, and he also cooked a meal for me. Suddenly, I feel like Mr. Zhang is so nice."
Ling Tong, on the other end of the phone, didn’t know how to respond and unexpectedly felt a tinge of jealousy.
No sooner had Zhang Hao returned home than he received a message from Lin Wan.
"Sorry, something came up suddenly, so I had to deal with it. I forgot to tell you, but we’re colleagues now, are you happy?"
Zhao Qing had left and now Lin Wan arrived—such coincidences seemed to Zhang Hao to be the workings of fate.
"Happy, how could I not be? It’s just a pity you’re not assigned to my department; otherwise, I’d be even happier," replied Zhang Hao.
Lin Wan didn’t mention which department she’d be joining.
But as long as they were in the same hospital, there would always be a chance to rekindle past connections.
The next day, like always, Zhang Hao arrived at his department in the hospital.
Waiting for patients to show up, suddenly a supervisor came in with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you to a new colleague."
New colleague?!
Zhang Hao, puzzled, looked towards the door and saw Lin Wan walk in wearing a nurse’s uniform.
"Nurse Zhao Qing is going abroad, so she can’t fulfill this job. However, yesterday a new nurse arrived and specifically asked to work here with you."
"After some questioning, I found out that you two were colleagues before. I didn’t even have to think before agreeing."
As they talked, Lin Wan had already approached Zhang Hao.
"Mr. Zhang, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Zhang Hao, thrilled inside, reached out and shook her hand, feeling that familiar sensation once again.
"Mr. Director, rest assured, I will definitely perform well in this position and ensure everything cooperates with Mr. Zhang."
For a leader to hear such words was naturally very pleasing.
But only Zhang Hao and Lin Wan knew the hidden meaning behind these words.
"Alright, alright, then you two start working. I won’t disturb you here anymore. Call me if you need anything."
Once the leader left, only Zhang Hao and Lin Wan were left in the office.
Lin Wan leaned one hand on the desk: "Are you really happy?"
Zhang Hao looked up at her and said with a smile, "Of course, I’m happy. My smile is nearly reaching my ears."
Lin Wan smiled sweetly, "Aren’t you curious why I quit my job at the city hospital?"
"If you have your reasons, I shouldn’t pry. When you’re ready to tell me, you will do so without my asking." Lin Wan gazed at Zhang Hao for a long time before saying four words: "I missed you."
Because of her longing, she had resolutely resigned from her job at the city hospital and applied to this one.
Fortunately, she had never made any mistakes in her previous work, showing she was serious and highly professional.
Just these two points alone would allow her to stand firm in this hospital.
Plus, Zhang Hao was here, having an old acquaintance was better than struggling alone.
"It seems there was already a nurse assisting you before I came."
"I wonder if that nurse was as diligent as I am in serving you."
After saying this, Lin Wan actually started to unbutton her nurse’s uniform.
She undid the first one, then continued downwards to the second, the third.
It being the height of summer, though the fabric of the nurse’s uniform appeared thin, it was not breathable at all.
After wearing it for a while, one could actually sweat profusely.
"What are you doing with that here? Be careful in case the leaders see you."
Lin Wan turned to glance at the door of the office: "The leader has already left, don’t scare me."
After unbuttoning three buttons, the pale pink bra she was wearing underneath became visible.
"Does the new one look nice?" Lin Wan tugged at her neckline then quickly pulled it closed.
Zhang Hao only got a glimpse, not seeing in detail, but it seemed like there were some decorative trinkets on the bra.
"Nice, nice, everything looks nice on you. But now is work time, don’t do these kinds of things."
Zhang Hao knew his words may not be heeded by Lin Wan, so he took the initiative to help her fasten her buttons.
But Lin Wan was just as mischievous as before, deliberately thrusting her chest out, making it inevitable for Zhang Hao to touch her when fastening the buttons.
"Soft isn’t it?" Lin Wan’s voice was very soft.
The tone of her voice was more than Zhang Hao could bear.
As he fastened the buttons, he gave a firm squeeze at the front of her chest.
Lin Wan immediately bit her lip, her body leaning into his embrace.
At that very moment, a patient came to the clinic for a consultation.
Lin Wan also had to immediately adjust her state.
Zhang Hao instructed her to quickly go to the treatment room to prepare the necessary instruments.
"Doctor, my back is uncomfortable, can you give me a few acupuncture treatments?" the patient said.
