steady, his fingers strong, and she almost fell into his arms.She hurriedly propped herself up with her hand, creating distance between them, a candid smile on her face. "Thank you," she said."You're...Qin Heng couldn't understand why he had agreed to Qi Qing back then. He racked his brains, muttering to himself if he was getting old. He remembered things from a long time ago, but these specific events were hazy.

"Well, well, looks like the doctor's giving up on medicine and becoming a fortune teller, huh"

Suddenly, a voice reached my ears.

Qin Heng came back to his senses and looked at Ji Qing who was standing by the window. The sunlight spilled behind her, bathing her hair in a faint halo. She wasn't naturally frizzy-haired, but the light made it look so. She was a beauty of the "intense" kind, with striking features that were overly beautiful. She seemed like a dreamlike vision.

It was a picture brimming with aesthetics, yet the flames burning between her fingers shattered its beauty.

Qin Heng reached out to snatch the cigarette from her hand, but Ji Qing predicted his move and transferred it to her left hand, a smirk playing on her lips. "This is a non-smoking area," she said.

Qin Heng did indeed see a sign on the side. It was his hospital, and he was the dean. How come no one had informed him about this kind of sign being placed in the hallway

He had his hands in his pockets, and even though Ji Qing was wearing high heels, she was still half a head shorter than him.

When Qin Heng was in school, he was the clean and handsome type, which little girls found particularly attractive. He was not only good at his studies but also handsome, so he often received love letters and gifts from girls. At that time, classmates joked that besides other things, Ji Qing's drawer was full of love letters.

After years of refinement, Qin Heng's facial features were more profound than in his high school days, radiating the charm of a mature man from the inside out.

He said seriously, “The final say belongs to me as the headmaster. I say no smoking, then no smoking.”

Ji Qing took another puff of cigarette, extinguished it in the trash can right in front of him, and asked, "Dean Qin, is this okay"

Qin Heng was taken aback. He hadn't expected Ji Qing to be so obedient, but the next second, he saw a flicker of dejection in her eyes, and he immediately understood that she had no mood to play games with him.

Even though she disguised herself well and was busy with work every day, for this period of time she was practically living in the hospital, running between the hospital and the company every day.

After Ji Lin's accident, both his parents became ill. All the burdens fell on Ji Qing's shoulders.

These things, even if they happened to other men, they wouldn't be able to bear it. He doesn't even allow anyone to smoke a cigarette.

Qin Heng opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

A man's voice came from down the hallway, "Mr. Ji, so you're here."

Qin Heng narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked over. It was Ji Qing's assistant.

Upon seeing Qin Heng, he greeted him politely and respectfully, "Dr. Qin."

Qin Heng let out a soft hum.

The assistant handed the folder to Jiqing with both hands, and then realized, "Oh, I forgot to grab something. I'll be right back in my car."

Ji Qing took the folder and opened it, letting out an "hmm" sound.

The assistant turned and walked into the elevator.

Qin Heng had his hands in his pockets, twirling the stick of a lollipop, his gaze fixed on Ji Qing's side profile as she diligently reviewed files. "Where did you find this male assistant of yours He looks very young, not much younger than Ji Lin, is he"

Ji Qing didn't even raise her eyelids, "He's a year younger than Ji Lin, the younger brother."

"Ah, so you're here."

Qin Heng's lighthearted remark caused Ji Qing's hand holding the pen to pause. She raised her eyelids, glanced at him, and smiled, "My little brother is obedient and well-behaved. He can even cheer me up and never causes me trouble. There's nothing my sister dislikes about him."

"As for Director Qin, he's really not my type."

"Oh" Qin Heng looked at her meaningfully. "The high school reunion during the Lunar New Year, they played truth or dare. They asked you who you had a crush on in class, and I remember correctly, it was me.", she remembered when Huo Mingzheng had said that she treated him like a driver, which was rude.Thinking of Huo Mingzheng, her heart ached, and her eyes welled up with tears.Seeing this scene, Fu Hanl...
