Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1217 - 1169: Shadow Over the Heart (Part 2)

"You've graduated from school, but you've also become a doctoral advisor and professor. From now on, you're a proper teacher and need to take on the responsibility of educating students.""Anlin Hospital has had a grand opening and is running very well, but we're still a long way from our goal of becoming a world-renowned medical research center."

"The revolution has not yet succeeded; the road ahead is long and arduous. Comrade Lin Jie, you need to keep working hard!"

Lin Jie said gloomily, "The way you're talking, it makes me want to retreat into the mountains and become a carefree Daoist."

"In this world, where is there truly a place of serenity and worry-free living?"

An Kexin said this deeply and then heard the sound of water boiling...

A few minutes later, a bowl of noodles with greens, shrimp, shredded meat, and egg was ready.

An Kexin, keeping her figure in mind, declined the invitation to share a bowl of noodles with Lin Jie. She just sat next to him, resting her chin on one hand, and watched him eat with a face full of satisfaction.

She remembered something and asked with a smile in her voice, "Ah Jie, can you guess how many wedding gifts we received this time?"

Thinking of the hundred million given by Ye Peihua, Lin Jie waved his hand grandly and said, "No matter how many gifts we got this time, I only want that hundred million from Young Master Ye. All the rest can be your pocket money, Kexin!"

An Kexin laughed and said with exaggerated tone, "Oh my, oh my, marriage really changes things. My Ah Jie has become so generous, giving me over fifty million in pocket money at once."

"Over fifty million? Is it really that much?" Lin Jie was quite surprised.

An Kexin nodded and said, "The gift money was all tallied up by yesterday evening."

"A total of 2,163 guests were registered, and we received 54,927,700 yuan in gift money, plus about 160,000 RMB worth of foreign currency."

"Besides the gift money, we also received nearly a hundred gifts of varying value, including antique paintings, fine wines, ingredients, crafts, precious metal jewelry, and handmade items."

Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh, "So many guests! Just one wedding, and we've received so much in gifts and money."

"When I wasn't well, I had to go to the market and buy vegetables when they were no longer fresh, just to get a discount."

"They say poverty limits one's imagination, and it's true. Back then, I'd never have believed that wedding gift money alone could amount to millions or even billions."

An Kexin softly said, "The fact that so many people came and we received so much is also due to your status, Ah Jie."

"When my dad and I looked through the guestbook, we found many strangers who came out of admiration."

"They probably wanted to use the occasion of our grand wedding to build some connections, in case they might need a favor in the future."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "It's like they've already booked an appointment with me in advance!"

An Kexin gave him a sideways glance and corrected him, "The chance of a major illness is small. It's more like they bought major illness insurance from you."

"That way of putting it is more vivid!"

Lin Jie picked up the bowl of noodles, drank some soup, turned to look at An Kexin, and said with eyes shining, "It's still dark, which means our wedding night isn't over yet!"

"My beautiful bride, even a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold."

An Kexin smilingly said, "Ah Jie, no need to rush. Let's rest a bit and digest. You, being a doctor, know it's not good to engage in intense activity right after a meal."

She glanced at the time and continued, "It's not even two thirty yet, and we still have two to three hours until dawn."

An Kexin leaned softly against Lin Jie, her breath like orchids, gently saying, "Ah Jie, on this wedding night, as long as you can think of a position, and you can endure it, I'll fully cooperate."

"Do as you wish..."

This made Lin Jie's heart race, and at the same time, his legs felt a bit weak...

Before five in the morning, after several rounds of battle, the exhausted Lin Jie, having just finished cleaning up with An Kexin, was looking forward to sleeping for an entire day. But Lin Miao and An Kemeng, bringing along Lele, arrived saying they wanted to watch the sunrise at sea together.

Lin Jie and An Kexin exchanged a glance, both feeling regret.

It's a honeymoon trip. On a honeymoon, unrelated people shouldn't be brought along; it's just asking for trouble.

But for now, the two of them could only follow the excited two young girls to the top deck with heavy steps.

Lin Jie immediately noticed a few lounge chairs there.

He pulled An Kexin over and lay down, letting the cool night sea breeze with its salty scent wash over them, looking at the slightly red-hued clouds where the sea met the sky. It felt very comforting and leisurely.

As for Lin Miao and An Kemeng, these two energetic little fellows were leaning against the railing, shouting towards the east from time to time, which was really a bit annoying...

It seemed like just a blink, and when Lin Jie opened his eyes again, he was greeted by radiant, colorful light.

The glow was also penetrating An Kemeng's thin pajamas, making her body's outline extremely clear in front of Lin Jie's eyes.

"She's really grown into a young lady!"

Lin Jie commented and shouted, "Kemeng, Miaomiao, it's daytime. Go back to the room to change clothes. Running around the yacht in pajamas is not proper."

"Big Bro Jie, we have swimsuits underneath!"

As she said this, An Kemeng took off her pajamas, revealing a fitted, pink, two-piece swimsuit beneath.

She boasted, "Big Bro Jie, for this yacht trip, Miaomiao and I specially prepared a suitcase of swimsuits; we won't repeat any even if we change three times a day."

Lin Jie ignored her boastfulness, picked up his phone, and checked the time; it was almost six in the morning.

He thought for a moment and dialed Qi Xingfen's phone.

The phone rang only twice before it was answered, and Qi Xingfen's slightly teasing voice came through, "Expert Lin, calling me so early? Did President An not let you sleep last night?"

"How is that possible?"

Lin Jie glanced at the soundly sleeping An Kexin beside him and proudly said, "Someone is so tired they're still not awake. I was dragged out by my two sisters to see the sunrise."

"Dr. Qi, how's that chieftain doing post-surgery?"

Talking business made Qi Xingfen's voice turn serious, "By three yesterday afternoon, the patient had regained consciousness. After a detailed examination, it was found that the patient had moderate numbness in the left leg and blurred vision in the left eye, but no other obvious adverse symptoms were noted."

"As of now, all the patient's physiological parameters are within acceptable ranges. I plan to move the patient out of the ICU around noon."

Having received this precise information, Lin Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You handle everything post-surgery. You can take full charge."

"Is everything fine at the hospital?"

Qi Xingfen chuckled softly over the phone and said, "Everything is great, even exceedingly great."

"Those exchange doctors are so keen to earn points, they're like wound-up toys. They're so proactive, even taking over some of the work that should be ours."

Lin Jie laughed heartily and said, "If they want to work, let them. It's beneficial for the hospital."

After hanging up with Qi Xingfen, Lin Jie started going through his phone's missed calls and unread messages.

He first checked his unread messages, of which there were a good thirty or forty, mostly well-wishing texts.

Lin Jie skimmed through them quickly, but one message caught his special attention.

It was a text from an unknown number saying, "I'm Monkey. Luo Shanshan suddenly asked me to repair her car a couple of days ago. She seemed to casually talk about old times."

"She said you mysteriously prepared some unknown potion during your time working at Zhujia Port and inquired what I and Big Black had done for you back then."

Seeing this, Lin Jie's heart sank, overshadowed by a sense of unease.
