Chapter 344: Doctor Gu is the best
Translator: 549690339
“Mom, set your mind at ease. I’m not unmarriageable, and I certainly won’t get back together with Xiao Yuting.”
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t know what her mother was thinking. Xiao Yuting was chased away by her at the hospital, she would never have feelings for him again.
Mother Bai chuckled, relieved, “That’s good, Xiaoxiao. I think Mo General’s friends are not bad. Luo Haofeng’s constantly joking manner aside, Qin Mu may not like talking, but he is reliable. And Doctor Gu, I think he is the best!”
“Mom, stop it.”
Bai Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed she almost covered Mother Bai’s mouth.
Was her mom crazy about finding her a son-in-law, comparing every man she knew, as if Mo Xiuchen’s friends were all waiting for her to choose from?
Mother Bai was having a great time talking, “Stop it? I’m just worried about your future happiness. If you don’t want to hear it, then I will talk to Ranran. Let Ranran help you find a potential boyfriend. She has very good taste. She will definitely help you find a man as great as Mo Xiuchen.”
“…”
As Bai Xiaoxiao was about to say something, the hospital room door was pushed open. Doctor Gu was smiling and talked: “Aunt Qiao is right. If Xiaoxiao wants to find a boyfriend, Ranran can definitely help her.”
“Doctor Gu, did you hear what my mother said?”
Bai Xiaoxiao had a flush of red across her pale face, staring wide-eyed at Gu Kai.
Oh my, she was so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole.
Mother Bai stood up, grinning at Doctor Gu, “Doctor Gu, you also think I’m right, so that means I’m actually right.”
With Gu Kai’s endorsement and support, Mother Bai was over the moon. After all, the only people who had a higher place in Mother Bai’s heart than Doctor Gu were Bai Xiaoxiao and Mr. Bai. Without Doctor Gu performing the surgery, Xiaoxiao might have already been dead.
After the surgery, Doctor Gu suggested Bai Xiaoxiao move to Kangning Hospital. Then, he performed two more surgeries on her. He is concerned about her well-being and checks on her no less than three times a day.
In addition to that, the special care the hospital has given Xiaoxiao made, Mother Bai believes if Xiaoxiao marries Doctor Gu, she would be happy for life.
If something goes wrong with her health in the future, there would be nothing to worry about.
Doctor Gu laughed heartily and said sincerely, “Of course, Aunt Qiao is telling the truth.”
Mother Bai was overjoyed. While watching Mo Xiuchen on the monitor looking at Wen Ran lovingly, her excitement spilled over and she blurted out, “Doctor Gu, saving lives every day, do you have time for a relationship?”
“Mom, that’s Doctor Gu’s private life, you can’t just ask him that!”
Mother Bai ignored her daughter’s protests, looking at Gu Kai with affectionate eyes, there was a sense of satisfaction like that of a mother-in-law toward an ideal son-in-law.
Aside from his handsome looks, Doctor Gu is a life-saving doctor who is approachable. As the heir of a centuries-old family of physicians, he never shows any arrogance.
Compared to Luo Haofeng’s constant joking, he is more trustworthy. Compared to Qin Mu’s coldness, he is warmer.
He is perfect!
Gu Kai looked at her, “Auntie is right. I don’t have time for love with all these surgeries. Besides, what girl could tolerate their boyfriend having no time for her? To avoid hurting others or myself, I think it’s better to stay single.”
With his intelligence, how could he fail to understand what Mother Bai meant?
Even if he did have any feelings for Bai Xiaoxiao, which he didn’t, he knew Luo Haofeng liked her. He would not do anything to betray his friend.
It seemed Mother Bai didn’t understand his polite refusal, she grinned and said, “That’s not a problem. A man should focus on his career. A good woman would not cling to her boyfriend all day long. Like Xiaoxiao in my house, she is so independent that she would be annoyed if someone got clingy.”
“Doctor Gu, are you available tonight? Mr. Bai and I were talking about thanking you for saving Xiaoxiao’s life. Though she’s not fully recovered, she’s getting better day by day. We would like to invite you to dinner as a token of our gratitude.”
“Mom!”
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t know what else to say other than shouting “mom”.
She clearly heard the refusal in Doctor Gu’s words earlier, but why was her mother so oblivious?
Not only did she fail to perceive the refusal, but she also planned to invite Doctor Gu for dinner.
“Doctor Gu, you must accept!”
Before Doctor Gu could answer, Mother Bai added another line.
Doctor Gu thought for a moment, smiled, and agreed, “Alright, I’ll try to arrange my schedule tonight.”
“Doctor Gu, you don’t need to force yourself. If you don’t have time, let it be.”
Bai Xiaoxiao quickly added. She didn’t want to make Doctor Gu feel uncomfortable.
Gu Kai walked to Bai Xiaoxiao’s bed, checked the wound on her head and said in an understated manner, “It would be impolite of me not to attend the dinner Aunt Qiao invited me to.”
“Doctor Gu, I will call Mr. Bai and ask him to book the restaurant. You can check up on Xiaoxiao.”
The energetic Mother Bai left the room, not forgetting to close the door behind her to give Gu Kai and Xiaoxiao some alone time.
“Your mom is really adorable.”
Gu Kai glanced at the closed door and said casually, looking at her injured arm.
Bai Xiaoxiao lifted the quilt for him to check her leg and said apologetically, “Don’t take my mother’s words to heart. She was scared by my car accident and is desperate to marry me off.”
Gu Kai gave a knowing smile, “You’ve been stuck in the hospital room for quite a long time, you can go out for a breath of fresh air. How about joining us for dinner tonight with a wheelchair? And call Ah Feng.”
“Doctor Gu, there seems to be a misunderstanding.”
Bai Xiaoxiao blurted out.
Gu Kai was slightly taken aback and looked at her without saying a word.
Bai Xiaoxiao explained, “Luo Haofeng and I aren’t in the relationship you’re thinking of.”
“Oh, I see, I’m sorry. I must have misunderstood. I saw Ah Feng visiting the hospital almost every day and you two seemed to be having a good time. I thought you two would make a good pair.”
Gu Kai, however, didn’t look apologetic at all. He was clearly playing matchmaker.
Even if Ah Feng hasn’t admitted it, they have been brothers for so many years. Ah Feng has never been serious about a girl, and no one has been spoiled by him like Bai Xiaoxiao.
If Gu Kai were to say that Ah Feng didn’t like Bai Xiaoxiao, he wouldn’t believe it even if he were to be beaten to death.
Bai Xiaoxiao lowered her gaze, pursed her lips and said softly, “I don’t plan to start a new relationship for the time being. As for tonight’s dinner, my parents wanted to thank you for saving my life. If you’re busy, I can help you decline the invitation. And, don’t tell Luo Haofeng about it.”
Just now, her mother was the first one to rule out Luo Haofeng!
Doctor Gu squinted his eyes, switched on the heat, covered her with a quilt, “Your recovery is going smoothly, there are no issues. Excuse me, I need to check up on other patients now.”
