Chapter 55 Outing

Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Outing

Tang Xuan’Er worked at the largest hospital in Beijiang City.

Today was March 8th, commonly known as Girls’ Day.

The hospital had specially arranged this trip as part of the welfare for the many employees.

By the time Tang Xuan’Er arrived at the hospital, most of the other people were already there.

“Xuan’Er, happy holiday!” a male doctor with gold-rimmed glasses and handsome features approached with a smile.

Tang Xuan’Er nodded, “Thank you.”

“Xuan’Er, are you on your own again? Ride in my car later. I just bought a new BMW!” the male doctor offered very eagerly.

But Tang Xuan’Er shook her head, “No need, my friend is coming over today!” The male doctor’s expression turned slightly unpleasant.

His name was Lin Huan, and he was a medical doctor who had returned from overseas.

Ever since he entered this hospital and saw Tang Xuan’Er for the first time, he had been attracted to her stunning appearance and had started pursuing her fervently.

However, Tang Xuan’Er was always indifferent towards him, which made Lin Huan feel somewhat frustrated.

Bear in mind, his family in Beijiang was quite upper-class, and he was handsome as well, so women had never been absent from his life.

But none had attracted him as deeply as Tang Xuan’Er had.

No matter how Lin Huan tried to get close, Tang Xuan’Er remained unmoved.

A friend…

What kind of friend?

Male or female?

Lin Huan thought to himself, his gaze becoming somewhat dark.

Meanwhile, not far away, a group of female nurses gathered, watching Lin Huan shower Tang Xuan’Er with attention, and they couldn’t help feeling envious.

“What’s so good about that Tang Xuan’Er? Isn’t she just a bit prettier? She actually has Doctor Lin so bewitched!” a girl with a few freckles on her nose said resentfully.

This girl’s name was Luo Jing, and she had a secret crush on Lin Huan, but Lin Huan never showed any interest in her, so she directed all her rage at Tang Xuan’Er.

She took every opportunity to mock and sneer at Tang Xuan’Er.

This time was no exception.

Her colleagues, also her close friends, naturally supported her, nodding in agreement.

“Look at that act of purity, it pisses me off! Didn’t you hear she refuses to find a boyfriend because of her friend’s child?”

“Please, they say it’s her friend’s child, but it might as well be her own!”

These venomous words drifted to Tang Xuan’Er’s ears.

Yet Tang Xuan’Er showed no reaction.

She had grown accustomed to such rumors over the years.

Sometimes being too beautiful was a sin in itself.

Despite keeping a sufficient distance from all men, she still couldn’t fend off the slander filled with jealousy.

“Is everyone ready? Those with cars drive, those without take the hospital shuttle bus, our destination this time is… Yunmeng Lake!” a person in charge said.

Yunmeng Lake?

Tang Xuan’Er blinked in surprise, then let out a wry smile.

She had just hurried over from there, and now she would have to go back?

But it didn’t really matter, after all, there was only one day’s time, and it was not possible to travel too far.

Many people had come in their own cars, then carried familiar people with them.

At this moment, Lin Huan approached again, “Xuan’Er, your friend hasn’t shown up yet, they probably can’t make it, right? Why don’t you ride with me, and we’ll go together.”

Tang Xuan’Er shook her head, “If he said he’s coming, then he will come!”

Rejected once more, Lin Huan’s face couldn’t help but show embarrassment.

After repeatedly showing goodwill, why couldn’t this woman appreciate it?

Well, I really want to see what’s so special about this friend of yours! Lin Huan thought to himself.

Just then, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian came bouncing in.

The two little girls were dressed in brand-new clothes today, with matching braids, looking so adorable that anyone would want to hug and bite them.

“Aunt Xuan’Er,” the two little girls called out sweetly.

Tang Xuan’er affectionately patted the two little girls on the head, “Have you eaten breakfast?”

“We have! Daddy made such fragrant porridge!” Xue Nian could never forget about food.

At this moment, Lin Huan’s expression turned somewhat unsightly; he had heard some rumors about Tang Xuan’er and had not expected them to be true.

Had she really taken care of two little girls?

What exactly was her relationship with these two little girls?

As he was wondering, Xue An walked in.

His arrival made many people cast a strange look in his direction.

Luo Jing and the others were especially excited.

“See, that guy might just be Tang Xuan’er’s young lover!”

“He looks quite young indeed!”

“What’s the use of being young if you look at the clothes he wears!” Luo Jing was particularly adept at assessing a person’s wealth and status from their attire.

When she saw Xue An dressed in a casual outfit worth only a few hundred yuan, her face couldn’t help but show some disdain.

So she found this kind of man, huh?

Tang Xuan’er’s taste isn’t that great after all!

Luo Jing thought quite gleefully to herself.

Lin Huan stared at Xue An with even greater hostility, passing judgment in his mind.

In terms of looks… ahem, it was neck and neck!

But when it came to his outfit, there was a world of difference!

The more Lin Huan compared, the more conceited his expression became.

Just then, the person in charge came over to ask Tang Xuan’er, “Xuan’Er, what will you do? Take the company bus?”

Tang Xuan’er looked towards Xue An.

Xue An smiled faintly, “I brought them both over by taxi!”

At this, Luo Jing and the others showed even more contempt.

He doesn’t even have a car?

At this moment, Lin Huan felt it was his time to make an entrance and walked over with a smile, “Xuan’Er, you should ride in my car instead!”

Tang Xuan’er shook her head, “My friend…”

Lin Huan interrupted Tang Xuan’er, glancing provocatively at Xue An, “No problem, I’ve bought an X5, it won’t be an issue even if we bring along your friend.

Tang Xuan’er found it inappropriate, but Xue An commented indifferently,

“Sure! I’ve never ridden in an X5 before!”

Lin Huan sneered inwardly, thinking he must be a country bumpkin who had come from the countryside. Just wait until we get to Yunmeng Lake, then I’ll show you !

Lin Huan drove up and opened the passenger door with great diligence, “Xuan’Er, sit here!”

Tang Xuan’er shook her head, “I’d rather sit in the back!”

Saying so, she led Xue Xiang and Xue Nian to the back seat.

While Lin Huan was inwardly grinding his teeth in frustration, Xue An nonchalantly took the passenger seat and said calmly, “Drive!”

Lin Huan instantly became irritated.

Was he treating him as his chauffeur?

He had no choice but to suppress his anger and hit the road.

On the way, he kept observing Xue An.

Seeing that Xue An had remained calm since getting into the car.

He felt some disdain in his heart.

Acting all high and mighty without even owning a car?

Wait until we reach Yunmeng Lake, I’ll show you!

As it had rained the night before, Yunmeng Lake was even more picturesque today.

After getting out of the car, the girls excitedly went off to take photos in the distance.

Most of the boys stood by the lake, admiring the scenery.

At that moment, Lin Huan deliberately asked, “My friend, may I inquire where you work?”
