Chapter 806: His Beautiful Colleague

Soon after, Old Master Gu woke up. Gu Huanhuan chatted with him for a while and saw that he was getting tired, so she let him rest.
Gu Shaoting’s uncle came to Grandpa’s ICU ward around noon to take over caring duties. It was Gu Shaoting’s turn to go home and rest. Gu Huanhuan saw that her grandfather was asleep, so she asked to be excused. She would come back in the evening. Besides, she had a job to do then. She had to be someone’s personal chauffeur.
…
It was almost 5 p.m. after the two surgeries were done. Wen Chi massaged his sore glabella as he walked into the staff lounge. He did not even take off his white coat when he sat on the sofa, leaned his head back and closed his eyes.
A doctor’s life was like that. They would need to rush to the hospital when there was an emergency surgery. Especially for a consultant surgeon like Wen Chi, who would be called in for the more complicated cases.
Therefore, Wen Chi received the best treatment in the entire department. He had less clinical hours but everyone respected him and didn’t say anything bad behind his back.
Wen Chi was probably too tired that he fell asleep just sitting there.
Yes, he fell asleep. He didn’t know for how long but when he woke up, it was almost 7 p.m.
There were still dark circles under his eyes when the coat the covered him slipped off. A coat that smelled faintly of rose essential oil.
Wen Chi frowned. Who had covered him with this coat? He had no recollection at all. He picked it up from the floor and placed it on the armchair next to him.
Shortly after, the owner of the coat walked in. It was his colleague from the same department, Yu Li.
Yu Li was a publicly acknowledged beauty with red lips, white teeth, a slender figure, fair skin and very attractive upturned eyes.
She knocked on the door and Wen Chi looked up. She had already pushed the door open and was walking in holding an exquisite lunch box.
She was also wearing a white coat and part of her calves were exposed. Even when wearing a pair of flats, her walk was alluring.
“You’re awake? I came in just now and saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t disturb you.” Yu Li smiled gently.
“Oh, is this coat yours?”
“Yeah, why? What’s the problem?” Yu Li opened her innocent eyes wide.
Wen Chi couldn’t bear to continue, so he said plainly, “Thank you, but you didn’t need to do that. I was just taking a nap.”
His voice was cold and indifferent. Then, he continued, “By the way, why were you looking for me?”
“Um, I wanted to ask you some questions, but seeing that you were asleep, I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I covered you with my coat. You know well that you can’t catch a cold.” If she said that to anyone else, her pitiful voice would probably have made them shed tears of gratitude.
But Wen Chi only hummed in acknowledgment and did not say anything else.
“Oh right, I got you some food from the hospital canteen. Eat it while it’s hot.” Yu Li said with concern.
“Thank you again. I’ll eat when I get home. I think my girlfriend has already cooked.” Wen Chi was no fool. How could he not see Yu Li’s ulterior motive?
Girlfriend?
Yu Li’s face turned pale. Why hadn’t she heard that he had a girlfriend?
She had been colleagues with him for so long, but she had never heard him mention that he had a girlfriend, nor had she seen any woman looking for him at the hospital.
They had been colleagues for so long. Could he be telling her a little white lie? Did he see through her intentions?
“Sorry, it’s late. I’d better go.” With that, Wen Chi left the staff lounge.
He checked the time when he arrived at the hospital driveway. It was already seven o’clock. Never mind, she would let Gu Huanhuan off and take a taxi home.
While he was waiting for a taxi, Gu Huanhuan called him.
She had called him before. She had saved his number.
