Urban Super Medical Saint

Yuan Li was a brilliantly clever woman, and upon hearing the news, she exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran to the window to look down, indeed seeing Ge Dongxu standing across the street with his phone in hand.

"You rascal! How come you didn't come up? Are you afraid I'd eat you?" Yuan Li hurried back behind her large desk, picked up the phone and said, though the corners of her eyes had unknowingly moistened a bit.

"Hehe," Ge Dongxu chuckled, then added, "It's no fun, you saw me. I was planning to give you a scare downstairs."

"Go on, you think I'm some naive girl? Wait for me, I'll be right down." Yuan Li teased with a laugh, then cheerfully put down the phone, quickly organized the documents on her desk, and headed downstairs.

Seeing Ge Dongxu standing right in front of her, Yuan Li felt a strong urge to throw herself into his arms, yet this was Changxi County, where many locals knew her. Besides, it had been over six months since their last embrace and kiss in Shichahai, and although she felt this impulse, she suddenly felt as though the distance between them had grown even wider.

"Are you free tonight?" Ge Dongxu looked at Yuan Li, dressed in an office uniform with a black pencil skirt and flesh-colored stockings that perfectly accentuated her shapely legs and buttocks, making her appear elegant yet mature, and asked with a smile.

"Single as I am, what could possibly be up?" Yuan Li smoothed her hair and responded.

"Let's not put it that way, being single, beautiful, and sexy, if I may say so, I bet there are gentlemen lining up to ask you out every day." Ge Dongxu said.

"Not having seen each other for a while, your sweet-talking has really improved." Yuan Li rolled her eyes at Ge Dongxu and said.

"Haha, I'm just telling the truth. Since Sister Li is not busy tonight, may I have the honor of asking you out?" Ge Dongxu inquired.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Li clearly paused for a moment, then quickly rolled her eyes at Ge Dongxu and smilingly said, "Well, since you are the 'God of Wealth' at our bank, and also young and handsome, of course I will oblige!"

"Talking about money is too vulgar; being young and handsome is enough," Ge Dongxu said with a laugh.

"You and your cheeky mouth! Enough of that, let's get going," Yuan Li tapped on Ge Dongxu's forehead with her finger, then urged him on.

Ge Dongxu nodded, then walked alongside Yuan Li, though he dared not hold her hand.

Because this was Changxi County, not the capital. In the capital, where they were strangers, holding hands was inconsequential, but here, if they were seen by any of Yuan Li's colleagues or Ge Dongxu's classmates, rumors would probably spread by tomorrow.

"Where are we headed?" Seeing Ge Dongxu leading her toward the direction of the new city district, Yuan Li inquired.

"You'll find out once we get there," Ge Dongxu said teasingly. Just as he spoke, a tricycle taxi happened to pass by, and he quickly signaled for it.

The tricycle taxi, similar to the old rickshaws, also had a canopy at the back, but instead of being pulled by people, it was now pedaled, having become popular in Changxi County in recent years.

The new city district, formerly known as Jiang Family Village, was somewhat far from the bank. In the sweltering summer, Ge Dongxu naturally would not expect Yuan Li to walk all the way there.

As they sat in the tricycle, their bodies pressed together, a unique sense of intimacy began to ripple between them, and for a while, neither spoke.

"What university did you test into?" Yuan Li finally broke the silence after a while.

"Jiangnan University," Ge Dongxu replied.

"If it were someone else who got into Jiangnan University, I'd be genuinely impressed, but when you get admitted, why do I feel a bit uneasy?" Yuan Li looked at Ge Dongxu with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Don't say that, you make me seem like some kind of monster," Ge Dongxu replied.

"Giggle! You are quite the creature!" Yuan Li paused, then couldn't help but smile with pursed lips.

Ge Dongxu watched as Yuan Li laughed uncontrollably, her pale delicate chest heaving up and down. It stirred something inside him, and he dared not keep looking. Instead, he turned to look at the sides of the street and said, "Now that the New District has developed, isn't your Commercial Bank branch planning to move there?"

"That's something the next branch manager should consider. I won't worry about it myself," Yuan Li replied, smoothing her hair.

"Could it be that Sister Li you're getting a promotion?" Ge Dongxu asked, surprised and delighted.

"I should be transferred to the city branch as Deputy Branch Manager in the second half of the year. I owe it all to you. Otherwise, I guess spending my life as the Changxi County branch manager wouldn't be too bad," Yuan Li said, her gaze at Ge Dongxu filled with indescribable complex emotions.

In her lifetime, she had faced some ups and downs, but since meeting Ge Dongxu, her life had started to change dramatically. In just two or three years, she had moved from Deputy Branch Manager to Chief Branch Manager, and now she was about to be promoted to Deputy Branch Manager of the Industrial Bank in Ouzhou City.

This promotion was partly because of an incident in the Capital that made the branch manager see her in a new light, and partly because the Qinghe Herbal Tea and Yaxu Printing & Packaging Factory had opened accounts at her branch.

With such big clients on her list, last year's performance assessment for the Changxi County branch was much higher than the other branches, even ranking among the top in the province.

"You're being modest. With your skills, Sister Li, a promotion was only a matter of time," Ge Dongxu said with a smile, then pointed at a villa ahead and told the tricycle driver, "Just up ahead."

The tricycle driver stopped, and Ge Dongxu took out a fifty-yuan note from his wallet and handed it to him, telling him to keep the change, which left the driver thanking him repeatedly.

Under normal circumstances, the ride would have only cost three yuan.

"Welcome to my house, please come in!" Ge Dongxu said, smiling and gesturing for Yuan Li, who stood hesitantly at the gate, to enter.

"This is your house?" Yuan Li shuddered slightly, her feet even more reluctant to move.

"Don't worry, I live alone," Ge Dongxu said, noticing Yuan Li's obvious fear. He quickly understood and hurried to explain.

Yuan Li, realizing that Ge Dongxu had seen through her thoughts, blushed and gave him a reproachful look, saying, "I have nothing to worry about coming to your house!"

"That's right, that's right," Ge Dongxu laughed.

"This garden is really beautiful, the designer did a great job." Women love beauty and dream of owning a villa with a garden, and Yuan Li was no exception. As she walked through the garden, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and exclaimed in admiration.

"Haha, of course, it's beautiful. I designed it myself," Ge Dongxu said proudly.

"You designed it yourself?" Yuan Li looked at Ge Dongxu in surprise, but soon she shook her head and laughed, saying, "It seems no matter how strange the things are that happen to you, they eventually become natural. There's nothing surprising about that."

"Am I really that amazing?" Ge Dongxu laughed.

"Don't you know yourself?" Yuan Li gave Ge Dongxu a playful glare.

Embarrassed, Ge Dongxu chuckled and then said to Yuan Li, "Wait here at the door for a moment."

Yuan Li gave Ge Dongxu a puzzled look but obediently stood by the door and waited.

Ge Dongxu went into the house first, then opened up the dishes that had been kept warm, and lit the candles on the cake before coming back to open the door and inviting Yuan Li inside, saying, "Come in."

"What's all this secrecy? Are you hiding your concubine in a golden house?" Yuan Li gave Ge Dongxu a playful glare and then followed him into the house.
