Wang Yao went to the hotel with his luggage. Chu Lian and Su Xiaoxue returned home together.

“Why doesn’t Dr. Wang want to stay in the cottage?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Dr. Wang stayed there previously because he came to treat you. So, it was appropriate for him to stay there ” Chu Lian said. “This time he came for a different purpose. Maybe he thinks it is not appropriate for him to stay there anymore.”

Su Xiaoxue accepted the explanation. “Dr. Wang and I are going to have dinner together this evening.”

“I know,” Chu Lian said.

“Auntie Lian, can you please book a table in a restaurant for me?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“OK, no problem,” Chu Lian said.

Beijing was huge and numerous restaurants for different purposes. Some were good places to discuss business. Some were suitable places to have dinner alone. Some were suitable for couples and friends. One would never lack choices in terms of restaurants in Beijing.

Song Ruiping didn’t say much after Su Xiaoxue returned. However, she was still a bit worried when seeing her daughter so happy.

Silly girl! she thought.

“Hmm, what should I wear?” Su Xiaoxue had too many choices.

Song Ruiping knocked at the door and entered the room. “What is wrong?”

“Mom, what do you think I should wear tonight?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“My daughter looks pretty in any dress,” Song Ruiping said.

“Alright.” Su Xiaoxue still didn’t know what to wear.

“Just choose something simple and elegant,” Song Ruiping said.

Eventually, she helped her daughter choose a dress that highlighted Su Xiaoxue’s pretty legs. Her skin was as smooth as white jade. She looked stunning in the dress.

She also put on some makeup. This was the first time she had worn makeup after recovering from that horrible disease.

“How do I look?” Su Xiaoxue turned around in a complete circle in front of her mother.

“You look beautiful! My daughter is the most beautiful girl in this world,” Song Ruiping said.

After putting in extra effort to dress herself, Su Xiaoxue even looked more beautiful than ever. She was like a blooming flower.

Song Ruiping sighed.

“Almost time, I have to go now,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Be careful on your way,” Song Ruiping said.

“I know, Mom,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Look after her, Chu Lian.” Song Ruiping didn’t forget to prompt Chu Lian.

“Of course, Ma’am,” Chu Lian said.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao was standing in front of the French windows of his hotel room looking at the busy streets outside. It seemed there were always many cars on the street, no matter what time or weather.

“Such a busy city!” he murmured.

No matter if seeing it on TV or with his own eyes, Wang Yao had to admit Beijing was one of the busiest cities in the world.

Beep! Om!

When he was looking through the window blank minded, his phone rang.

He picked the phone. “Hello!”

“Dr. Wang, we are here in the lobby,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“I’ll be right there,” Wang Yao said.

He hung up the phone, locked the door, and went downstairs. In the lobby, Su Xiaoxue attracted everyone’s attention.

“Hello, Ma’am, can I have your name?” a man asked.

“Sorry, no,” Su Xiaoxue said.

Within five minutes, four men had tried to approach Su Xiaoxue and say hello. One of them was a young man in a nice suit. One of them was a mature-looking middle-aged man. Another one was a bold man in his 50 who seemed to be very rich

Even the staff of the hotel praised Su Xiaoxue. “She is so pretty!”

“Yes, she’s even prettier than those movie stars,” a female employee said.

“Do you think she has had a plastic surgery?” her colleague asked.

“Which surgeon can make me so pretty?” the female employee asked.

“Exactly! I should find it out, too,” her colleague said.

Some people even secretly took pictures of Su Xiaoxue.

While people in the lobby were talking about Su Xiaoxue, Wang Yao came downstairs. He was dazzled. He spotted her immediately. She was too distinguished to be missed, like the moon in the sky or a peony in the grass. She could instantly attract attention from anyone.

“Dr. Wang!” Su Xiaoxue walked toward Wang Yao.

“What the!” Someone couldn’t help cursing.

“Seriously?” a man in the lobby asked.

“Look at him! What a country bumpkin,” a young man said.

“Is she blind?” another person asked.

“Sorry for keeping you wait,” Wang Yao said. He heard all the comments from those people in the lobby and just smiled.

“That’s fine. We have just arrived,” Su Xiaoxue said

“Just arrived? Does he know how long he has kept this beautiful girl waiting?” a man in his 30s asked. “This is unforgivable!”

“If I had such a pretty girlfriend, I would spend all my time with her,” a young man in his 20s said.

“Stop dreaming and drooping and wipe your mouth,” his friend said.

While everyone still felt envious or confused, Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue got into a luxurious car and left.

“I really don’t understand,” a young man in the lobby said.

A lot of people couldn’t understand.

“He must have done a lot of good things in his previous life to have such good luck in this life,” another man said.

“Dr. Wang, would you like to have Shandong cuisine?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Yes, but I don’t mind any other type of cuisines,” Wang Yao said.

He was not picky about food. Su Xiaoxue chose the best restaurant specializing in cooking Shandong cuisine since Wang Yao was from Qi province. The restaurant was also recommended by Chu Lian.

The restaurant didn’t look luxurious. People barely noticed it since it was among a lot of high buildings. However, the car park was full, indicating that it was a popular destination.

Wang Yao saw the restaurant was almost full once they were inside.

Chu Lian had booked a private room in advance. The room’s decorations were elegant.

The dishes were classical Shandong cuisine. Although Wang Yao was from Qi province, his first chance to taste authentic Shandong cuisine was in Beijing.

There were only him and Su Xiaoxue in the room.

“Dr. Wang, I think I have made progress with my practice of internal power,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Yes, I can feel it,” Wang Yao said.

“Do you have any hobbies when you are not seeing patients?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Hobbies… Hmm…” Wang Yao started to think.

He basically spent all his time seeing patients, growing herbs, and making herbal decoctions. They were his duties and hobbies. When he had nothing else to do, he studied medical books. It seemed that his life was really boring.

“Planting trees maybe,” Wang Yao said.

“Really?” Su Xiaoxue asked with surprise. “Planting trees?”

“Well, how should I put it?” Wang Yao suddenly felt embarrassed. He realized what he said was like a cold joke to Su Xiaoxue.

“In fact, I really want to travel around see those famous places in China to get some idea of the medical system of each place at the same time,” Wang Yao said.

He had wanted to travel around China since he studied in the university. He planned to take some time to travel after he had had a successful career so he wouldn’t regret the rest of his life. However, after he had graduated, he couldn’t find a good job. So, his plan was delayed. Now, Su Xiaoxue reminded him about this plan.

“You like traveling?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Yes, I do,” Wang Yao said.

“Me too,” Su Xiaoxue said.

Since they were both interested in travel, they found a topic they could talk about instead of just medicine or practicing internal power. Su Xiaoxue knew lot about travel. Before she had that horrible disease, she had been to many places. She was very chatty when she was with Wang Yao. She had never talked so much with anybody else.

However, she was still a bit nervous. After all, this was her first date with Wang Yao.

Wang Yao also had a special feeling when he was with Su Xiaoxue. She was beautiful and kind, and she told him how she felt about him without hiding. He had thought a lot about how he should interact with her before starting a relationship with her.

Since he also liked her, he decided to be with Su Xiaoxue as much as he could. He had made his mind up on that. He had come to Beijing because they missed each other.

“Dr. Wang, would you like me to take you to different places in Beijing tomorrow?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“OK, I still haven’t been to a lot of places here,” Wang Yao said.

Outside the private room, several young men were talking.

“Are you sure that pretty girl is in that room?” one of them asked.

“Yes, she is there. She’s absolutely stunning,” his friend said.

“Good, I should go inside to introduce myself,” one of the young men said.

“What are you doing?” Chu Lian stopped him.

“It’s none of your business,” the young man rudely said.

“You are also pretty,” another young man said. “I like a mature woman.”

Chu Lian looked at these young man who were apparently drunk. “I want you to leave here right now.”

“Why should we listen to you? Who the hell are you?” one of the young men rudely asked.

“Hey, would you like to go out with me?” his friend asked.

“Fine, shall we go now?” Chu Lian asked.

“What? OK! You guys wait here, I’m going out with this beautiful lady. She is my type. I’ll leave that younger one to you guys,” the young man said.

“I think you should all come with me. It will be more interesting,” Chu Lian said.

“Seriously? You have a heavy taste,” another young man said.

The drunk young men all followed Chu Lian out of the restaurant.

“Beauty, where are you going?” one of them asked.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Ouch!” All the young men screamed and fell to the ground unconscious.

“Humph!” Chu Lian coldly said before walking back to the restaurant.
