Chapter 481 - 227: Tumors That Even CT Can’t Detect, Angiography_2
After a moment’s thought, he felt relieved.
It’s likely because his diagnostics in Cardiovascular Medicine and cardiac surgery have reached a certain level, so when faced with gastrointestinal diseases, he can handle them adeptly, applying clinical medicine knowledge from various fields.
"I found Jingsheng’s clinical knowledge to be even more profound than I imagined. I really don’t know why you’re so skilled, why not develop your career in a major hospital?"
Lian Tao felt Li Jingsheng’s strength and expertise were outstanding, even among the top-tier hospitals like the People’s Hospital.
"Don’t tease me. My knowledge isn’t even worth your finger. My girlfriend is here; I won’t be chatting with you."
Li Jingsheng didn’t dare to boast in front of Lian Tao.
"Ignoring a friend for love, huh? I despise you! I’ll let you know once the results are in."
Lian Tao seemed quite satisfied with this discussion.
In the future, if there were difficult cases, he would likely think of Li Jingsheng first.
Once Tang Ping and others finished their tasks, Li Jingsheng checked the accounts and found no issues. Then he reviewed the day’s medical records, and they were similarly faultless.
Feeling secure, he locked the door and accompanied Ou Qinglan for a meal.
This time, instead of choosing fried rice with eggs, he took her to a restaurant.
She seemed to have genuinely changed.
While ordering, she picked just two cheap vegetarian dishes: oil-drizzled tofu and cabbage.
"At least order some meat!"
Li Jingsheng told her.
"I want to lose weight. Otherwise, if I gain weight, what if you start to dislike me?"
"Then let’s order some shrimp!"
Li Jingsheng ordered shrimp stir-fried with chives.
While eating, she was quite delicate, but she was particularly fond of the shrimp.
Seeing her enjoyment, Li Jingsheng barely used his chopsticks.
At this moment, her phone rang.
She glanced at it, then took the phone and walked to a farther area to answer.
This had never happened before.
Li Jingsheng felt she was avoiding him, likely because something was up.
Based on her behavior, the likelihood of her being two-timing was slim to none.
She recently seemed to become more frugal; could she be facing financial issues?
But that shouldn’t be possible!
The bag she mentioned, and the watch she wore, were all branded, suggesting a sound family background.
Moreover, not long ago, when Li Jingsheng was worried about renting a shop, she even went back home, presumably to ask her parents for money to buy a shop for him to use.
Li Jingsheng vaguely heard her say, "Got it... I’ll give it to you in a couple of days."
What on earth was happening?
This little lady is quite worrisome!
In a couple of days, isn’t that the day the second hospital distributes salaries?
He suddenly realized that Ou Qinglan might really be experiencing financial difficulties.
After the meal, if it were before, she would have insisted on paying the bill.
This time, however, she let Li Jingsheng pay.
"Qinglan, isn’t your birthday soon?"
Li Jingsheng held her hand, walking along the Old Street of South City.
"You knew about that!"
She responded with a smile.
"Of course! I’m always busy at work, you know that! My memory’s not great, and when I’m busy, patients are all I think about. If I accidentally forget your birthday, that would be a grave mistake."
Li Jingsheng told her.
"Oh, come on, what’s the big deal? Besides, when it’s my birthday, I’ll treat you to a meal! I can call you then!"
She replied indifferently.
"No, no, no, you treating me is your token of appreciation, and me gifting you a birthday present and blessing is mine. I’ll give you three thousand; you can buy whatever you like. No refunds if it’s less, no need to return if it’s more, okay?"
Li Jingsheng was sure she wouldn’t accept money.
It would hurt her self-esteem.
He came up with this idea.
Since he wanted to save money to buy this little house, he didn’t give too much.
With three thousand bucks, a bit of frugality would suffice for a month.
If she wanted to buy expensive clothes and cosmetics, it certainly wouldn’t be enough.
Li Jingsheng can only ensure her basic needs; he couldn’t cater to all her material desires.
"I don’t want your money. And you don’t have to give me any expensive gifts for my birthday. Even just a love letter would make me really happy. Haha, speaking of which, although we’ve been in a relationship for quite a while, you’ve never written me a love letter!"
She seemed easy to satisfy.
"You have to listen to me on this unless you consider me an outsider."
Li Jingsheng took out his phone to transfer three thousand to her.
She swiped open the screen to return it immediately, but Li Jingsheng stopped her.
"Please accept it! Whether we’re shopping around or eating at the hospital, most of the time, you pick up the bill. This little bit of money is my small gesture of goodwill; buy whatever you like for your birthday."
Li Jingsheng sincerely looked into her eyes.
"No, I don’t want your money. My mother always taught me from a young age that girls should be self-reliant and not accept money or expensive gifts from men. If you respect me, don’t force me to accept this money."
She firmly disagreed.
By then, they had arrived at the clinic, opened the door, and Li Jingsheng took her inside.
"Qinglan, am I your boyfriend?"
"What do you think?"
She rolled her eyes.
If she didn’t see him as her boyfriend, would she allow him to hold hands and hug her?
Would she text and chat with him every day?
Would she rush back home to ask her parents for money to buy a shop for him?
"I really love you, and taking care of you is only natural. It’s only reasonable for a man to earn money for his wife and children. Although we’re not yet married, I’m ready to register with you anytime. Yet, I would need some time to win over your parents; my career is just starting, you know that."
