Medical Sovereign - Chapter 517 - Bai Qing’s Intent

“I don’t care, but I know my sister likes you. Anyway, I’ll only approve of you as my brother-in-law in my lifetime.”

Although Qiao Zhenyu’s condition was under control, he still talked as stupidly as before, quite willful.

Ding Ning was irritated. “This guy is silly! To be honest, if Qiao Zhenyu said that Qiao Qiao liked me in the past, I might be proud, but now…”

He thought that his lovers were plenty enough, so he would never narcissistically go to love any more women. He had always been a responsible man, and even a good-for-nothing scum should have a bottom line.

Remembering the girl with a ponytail as pure as a little white flower, he could not say that he had no regret. After all, that girl had aroused his interest for the first time in his life.

But he only had a little regret, no other thoughts. That would not affect his state of mind too much.

He had no obsessive-compulsive disorder, so it was unnecessary for him to use all kinds of ways to make Qiao Qiao his woman, so as to perfect his life by satisfying his special interest in his first love.

9 of 10 people won’t have a satisfying life. When he occasionally recalled the pure feelings in his early years and the light little regret, he would then feel that the adolescent behavior had become more precious and long-lasting.

Well, all this was nonsense, in fact. To put it bluntly, Ding Ning, who did not want to get more lovers anymore, cared more about his self-esteem. When he remembered Qiao Yuhan’s attitude and Qiao Qiao’s deception, he would have a desire to take revenge.

“I let you look down upon me today, but you won’t have the chance to make friends with me holding a higher position tomorrow.” More importantly, that “little white flower” in his heart was named Bai Qinglian, not Qiao Qiao.

“Well, stop. If you don’t have anything to say, you can go back.”

Ding Ning was quite displeased and put on a straight face to ask him to leave.

“Sister… My sister really likes you!”

As soon as Ding Ning became angry, Qiao Zhenyu inexplicably had a sense of fear. His voice became weaker and weaker, and anxiety and fear appeared on his face.

“Likes? Haha, if she really likes, ask her to tell me herself.”

Ding Ning sneered and said harshly. “I don’t think that Qiao Qiao really likes me. That woman is no longer the previous pure and flawless white lotus in my heart.

“If she really likes me, why didn’t I hear a word about her after graduation? Why did she never contact me? Why did she only appear when she wanted me to treat Qiao Zhenyu?

“Under the pressure of Qiao Yuhan? The reason is powerful and reasonable, but I won’t accept it.

“If I like someone and the whole world objects to it, I will be the enemy of the whole world without hesitation.”

Qiao Zhenyu sighed and walked out dejectedly. Sitting on the sofa, Ding Ning did not even look at him.

He had a standard of measurement on love. The debt of love he owed Bai Qinglian was paid after Qiao Zhenyu was cured, and the two of them had no relationship anymore.

“Brother-in-law, I know you don’t want me to address you like that, and I know you don’t believe anything I say, but I can tell you, whether you believe it or not, my sister really likes you, she has never forgotten you, and she has been waiting for you, waiting for you to become strong, waiting for you to get the ability to protect her and shield her from the wind and the rain…I’m finished, and you are free to make your choice.”

Before opening the door, Qiao Zhenyu stopped but did not look back. When he finished these words in a slightly choked voice, he resolutely opened the door and left.

Ding Ning lit a cigarette irritably and took a deep drag, and then he sat there in a daze. Even when the cigarette was completely burned and the long ash fell on the carpet, he did not move an inch.

Although he was very unwilling to admit it, he knew that the words Qiao Zhenyu said just before he left disturbed his calmness and made him quite distressed, as if there was a piece of lead on his chest.

That little lonely white flower, whether it was Bai Qinglian or Qiao Qiao, would always easily disturb his thoughts and touch the softest part of his heart.

“This is probably the special interest in the first love, right?” Ding Ning smiled bitterly, somewhat in a manner of mocking himself. He shook his head desperately, trying to get rid of these scattered thoughts, but her figure constantly appeared in his mind, making him feel distressed.

“Tock, tock, tock!”

Luo Zhicheng knocked on the door again and interrupted his silence.

More people came to visit him. Ding Ning was really not in the mood to meet people now, and he just wanted to be in a daze and sort out his thoughts.

But before he refused the meeting, Ye Shulan and his son Shen Muyang had simply broken in, so that he had to keep up his spirit to entertain guests.

“You look so wretched. You didn’t have a good rest, did you?”

Ye Shulan’s caring greeting, whether it was sincere or not, made Ding Ning feel a little better. “No, I had a good rest. Thank you for your concern, aunt.”

Both parties avoided talking about what happened last night. After Ding Ning forced smiles to casually chat with them for a while, Ye Shulan found that he was absent-minded and thought that he was over frightened, so she wisely stood up and left.

After all, their visit was only a form. Once the courtesy was practiced, that was enough, and Ding Ning would not think that the people of the Shen Family had no human kindness. Now, their aim was achieved, so there was no need to stay here anymore.

After he saw them off, it was almost eleven. He waited a while, and Xiao Guo’er and Yagyuu Asamayu returned. Ding Ning planned to take them out for lunch.

Hu Zi and his companions thoughtfully called him and asked about his situation, but they did not come to keep him company, and this was just what Ding Ning wanted.

But when they just went out, he received Bai Qing’s call. “I’m waiting for you on the first floor of the Yan Jing Hotel. Let’s eat together at noon.”

“When did you arrive in Yan Jing?” Ding Ning asked in surprise.

.

“I arrived last night. Otherwise, I would have been able to help you stand your ground,” Bai Qing said a little jokingly.

.

Ding Ning smiled. “Okay, I’ll be downstairs right away.”

.

They met in the lobby on the first floor, but before he could say hello to Ding Ning, Bai Qing saw Xiao Guo’er at first glance and asked in surprise, “Oh, this is Guo’er, isn’t it?”

“Hello, Brother Qing!”

Xiao Guo’er greeted him courteously, but her little adult’s look made others laugh.

“Hello, Guo’er, come, let me give you a hug.”

Bai Qing squatted with a beam and spread his arms, hoping to hug the “source of joy”.

Xiao Guo’er was well-known in Yan Jing’s upper-class circles. No matter what kind of relationship they had with the Xiao Family, they all liked this lovely little girl sincerely, and some families had even told the Xiao Family that they wanted to take her as their future daughter-in-law.

“Huh, men and women can’t touch each other. Don’t try to harass me, Brother Qing.”

Xiao Guo’er hid behind Yagyuu Asamayu, putting a little head out to watch Bai Qing with vigilance.

“Hahaha!”

Everyone laughed. This little girl was so funny.

Bai Qing did not feel embarrassed and only smiled. If Xiao Guo’er allowed him to hug her, she was not Xiao Guo’er. This girl always made people laugh.

“Fourth brother, how long will you stay in Yan Jing?”

Initially, Bai Qing did not take Master Bai’s invitation of Ding Ning seriously, but when he found that Luo Zhicheng kept a proper distance to protect Ding Ning, he changed his mind immediately.

Luo Zhicheng knew him, and he also knew Luo Zhicheng. Naturally, he knew Luo Zhicheng’s identity, but he never expected that the big bosses of the Central Agency valued Ding Ning so much and asked Luo Zhicheng to protect him.

Compared with others who only knew Ding Ning ostensibly, he had paid special attention to Ding Ning and learned his secrets, including the title of the honorary professor of Ninghai University, the position of the executive of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia, and even the Rice Bean Oral Solution.

Probably, now the only thing he did not know was that Ding Ning was now an academician of the Shenzhou Academy of Sciences, and the big bosses had met with him in person.

Even so, Ding Ning’s position in Bai Qing’s mind had reached a new level. Since the person was infinitely promising, he must keep a good relationship with him.

It was unfair to say he was snobbish, for this was the basic quality an excellent decedent of a big family must have. Social relationships are indispensable in any country.

Therefore, Bai Qing quickly made up his mind: He would not only remove the sand in their communication, but he would also invite him to his family to see his great grandfather.

Of course, he also wanted to show his strength. Although Ding Ning and he were sworn brothers, their relationship was the one between the gentlemen: not close.

Previously, he was very satisfied with this degree of relationship, but when he found that Luo Zhicheng was personally responsible for protecting him, he immediately changed his mind, ready to make their relationship closer.

“It should be around the ninth day of the month. Two of my sisters will participate in the semifinal of the so-called Campus-star Competition, and I’m going to support them.”

Ding Ning replied indifferently and did not think so much, for he thought that Bai Qing just raised a random question.

“Campus-star Competition?”

Bai Qing frowned slightly, but this was not the way to laugh at Ding Ning for having so many sisters. The truth was that he knew more about the inside story of this Campus-star Competition.

“Right, Campus-star Competition. The two of my sisters have entered the semifinals. They want to enter the entertainment industry, and I can’t help it.”

Ding Ning was very helpless about it. He did not want Ye Huan and his sister to enter the complicated entertainment industry, but they bore the dream of their mother Sun Lanying, so he could not stop them.

“Let me go with you then.”

Bai Qing thought, “This is a good opportunity to improve my relationship with Ding Ning.”

“You won’t return to Ninghai?”

Ding Ning looked at him with a little confusion, wondering, “Why is such a big boss interested in such a small game?”

“I can’t go back for the time being because the eleventh day of the month is the 100-year-old birthday of my great grandfather. I won’t go back only until the birthday is over,” Bai Qing explained casually.

.

Ding Ning suddenly saw light and said, “Last time, you said that a birthday party would be held for an old man in your family. It turns out to be your great grandfather’s birthday party!”

“Right! The birthday gift was prepared by you. By the way, my great grandfather said this morning that he wanted to invite you to have a meal at my home. When will you be free?” Bai Qing said in a seemingly inadvertent manner.

.

Ding Ning frowned and did not reply immediately. He had not deliberately inquired about Bai Qing’s family background, but inferring from his status, he knew that his family was absolutely remarkable.

“The master of the Bai Family wants to see me? Why? Is it that…” Ding Ning soon thought of a possibility. “Did the guy Bai Qing reveal my identity as Master of the Divine Burin?”

.

Thinking of this, he became a little unhappy and looked sideways at Bai Qing, but just met his calm eyes.

Bai Qing deserved to be a shrewd man. Seeing that his questioning eyes were a little unfriendly, he immediately knew what he meant and shook his head again and again. “Am I so immoral in your heart? My lips are tight, in fact.”

“That’s good!”

Ding Ning believed that Bai Qing was not a blabbermouth, or his identity as Master of the Divine Burin would have long been revealed.

“I don’t know what my great grandfather meant, but when I had breakfast with him in the morning, read the news about you, and casually said that you are my sworn brother, my great grandpa suddenly asked me to invite you to have a meal at my home,” Bai Qing spread his hands innocently and explained patiently.

.

“Okay, but I won’t go alone. Your great grandfather’s birthday party is on the eleventh day, right? Then, let me stay a few more days and go back. By then, I’ll go to the birthday party with you.

Ding Ning was willing to pay his respects to Master Bai because he also had a selfish calculation.
