Chapter 810 - Just Her Moment (1/2)

Dr. Ling looked at the complicated expression of Xiu and reassured her, ”You don't have to worry so much. He is really fine.”

Xiu smiled at her in reply and nodded her head.

”Now, you should go back to rest,” said Dr. Ling. ”Even Xiao Li is waiting for you inside.”

”Li bro is inside?” asked Xiu with furrowed brows and Dr. Ling nodded in reply. Xiu squinted her eyes at Dr. Ling before questioning, ”Are you personally familiar with Li bro? The way you say his name has some familiarity to it.”

Dr. Ling was surprised to hear that. ”Is it okay for you to notice such a small detail?”

”When you've been cautious for too long, it becomes a habit,” replied Xiu.

Dr. Ling stared at Xiu's smiling face and told her, ”Well, I do know your Li bro personally.”

”Oh? How?”

”We had a mutual friend since kindergarten,” answered Dr. Ling.

Xiu thought about it before her eyes widened, ”You're Ying Jie's friend?”

Dr. Ling gave her a surprised look, ”You even got that? Wow! You're indeed smart.”

”Nah. I'm pretty dumb,” said Xiu. ”But I have my moments.”

Dr. Ling laughed out because of what she said and how she said it so boldly and feeling proud of herself. Dr. Ling laughed so much that she even fell on her butt.

”Are you alright?” Xiu asked when she saw her falling back. She was crouching beside her one moment and the next, she fell back from her uncontrollable laughter.

Dr. Ling wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and said, ”I'm fine. I just...” Before she could say anything, her eyes caught sight of someone and she forgot what she was about to say.

Xiu looked at her face before she turned her head and saw Xin Zimen coming over. Xiu's eyes moved back to Dr. Ling and she pressed her lips together.

”Little lass, what are you doing here?” asked Xin Zimen as soon as he came near Xiu.

”I'm just having a chat with the doctor,” replied Xiu.

Only now Xin Zimen's eyes moved towards Dr. Ling who was still sitting on the floor. Xiu also looked at Dr. Ling. She noticed how earlier Dr. Ling's eyes were stuck on Xin Zimen's face but now that he was looking at her straight, she apparently didn't know where to look.

”Why is she on the floor?” asked Xin Zimen.

”Don't look at me like that,” warned Xiu when she noticed how he looked at her. ”I definitely didn't do anything. She fell on her own.”

Xin Zimen's eyes narrowed suspiciously.

”Ah-Xin, are you doubting my words?” She controlled her expressions and blinked at him, ”Look at my face. Doesn't it look like the epitome of sincerity right now?”

Xin Zimen crossed his arms over his chest, ”You're a pretty good actress. It's hard to say whether that sincerity is real or fake.”

Xiu gaped at him in disbelief. ”How can you doubt me?”

Dr. Ling finally got off the floor and said, ”Actually, I did fall on my own. It has nothing to do with her.”

”See?” Xiu pointed at her.

”Maybe she is lying,” said Xin Zimen.

”And why would she lie for my sake?” retorted Xiu.

”Maybe because you threatened her and she is scared of you?”

Xiu snorted at that, ”Who can possibly be scared of a cute and harmless person like me?”

Xin Zimen bent at his waist as he placed his hand on her head and said, ”The cute and harmless person recently sent someone to the hospital.”

Xiu cleared her throat, ”That wasn't me.”

”Oh?”

”That really wasn't me,” argued Xiu. ”Let me tell you a secret... A wandering and vengeful ghost possessed me. Trust me, I'm very harmless.”
