Cheng Yunya chuckled as she covered her mouth and said, "Of course, it's to continue pursuing another stunning beauty from Feiyang, our adorable Yunluo."
Qin Yunluo blushed at once, looking at Guan Xing in disbelief. She shyly replied, "President Cheng, don't joke around. Manager Hua absolutely hates me."
"Hey, hate or not, our Dr. Guan Xing once boldly said that he wanted all three of us to be his girlfriends. Heh, I agreed that as long as he could win over both of you, I'd consider myself an easy catch."
Cheng Yunya finished speaking and purposely gave Guan Xing a flirtatious glance. The lingering look in her eyes was clear—Dr. Guan, do you dare?
With Sun Yiran and Hua Rubing already in his life, Guan Xing felt like he was carrying an unbearable load. From being a carefree wandering doctor to genuinely accepting two relationships, even a man with a strong heart like him couldn't resist the charm of Eastern women. But he didn't want the pressure to increase any more.
"Alright, since Manager Qin has such intentions, then let's see how it goes. If Guan Xing accepts you, I'll consider myself his mistress," Hua Rubing, usually silent, spoke up, surprising everyone.
The competition between Guan Rubing and Qin Yunluo had started the moment they joined Feiyang. Maybe it was just part of their nature—competing even for love.
Guan Xing quickly interjected, "Rubing, don't say things like that. How could we do such a thing?"
"Cut the cold remarks. Which man isn't a flirt? Who hasn't had women in his life?" Cheng Yunya teased. "Aren't you a little tempted by the idea of getting all three of us? You wouldn't pass up such an opportunity, would you?"
Even Hua Rubing raised her head, smiled gently, and said, "Xing, you're the man I love most. I have faith in you."
Guan Xing broke into a sweat. It wasn't easy to deal with matters like this. He wasn't exactly a saint, and when it came to good women, he had never refused the temptation of a fleeting romance. Though he now had Rubing and Sun Yiran, changing his habits wasn't something that could be done overnight.
Honestly, if Cheng Yunya and Qin Yunluo teamed up to seduce him, he wasn't sure if he could stand firm.
Of course, he'd never voice these thoughts aloud.
He helplessly nodded and said, "Rubing, I just hope to be good to you." Then he looked at the two women beside him and continued, "There are so many good men in the world. I believe you will find the right one for you."
Both women's eyes gleamed with admiration, while Hua Rubing leaned her upper body against Guan Xing's leg, looking peaceful and content. She gazed at Qin Yunluo without hiding the deep affection in her eyes.
The three women of Feiyang, despite seeing each other as rivals, were also the best of friends. They didn't back down, learned from each other, and understood each other better than anyone else.
"This is none of your concern. As long as we're willing, Yunluo, it's all up to you now. Ugh, my family keeps setting me up with men for blind dates. It's driving me crazy. Next year, I swear I'll get married," Cheng Yunya said, completely ignoring Guan Xing's reluctance, clenching her small fist in determination.
Every parent is the same, and Guan Xing knew that. His mother often asked him the same questions whenever he called—whether he had a girlfriend, and when he planned to get married.
"Guan Xing, you should go back to work. We have some things to discuss. Just know that no matter what happens, Rubing will always be your woman and will trust you," Qin Yunluo said, giving him a loving look.
Guan Xing felt at ease with her words. His cold face softened with a hint of sunshine as he nodded apologetically and left.
After he left, the three women fell into a brief silence.
Qin Yunluo couldn't help but ask, "Rubing, aren't you afraid that Dr. Guan Xing might be taken away by me?"
Hua Rubing smiled gently and replied, "Who said I'm not afraid?"
Cheng Yunya asked, confused, "Then why did you agree? If you agree, Guan Xing will fall into our gentle trap."
"Love is all about fate, something beyond our control. In the past, it was just my one-sided wish. Only after getting it did I realize love can't be controlled. If I reject you both, can I reject every woman around Guan Xing? No, I can't. But if Guan Xing can reject women like Yunluo and President Cheng, even if there are more women around him, I don't think I'll worry."
"But what if Guan Xing doesn't reject us?" Cheng Yunya asked with a teasing tone.
"Then—then I'll be unlucky, but you'll be unlucky too. Three of us as his girlfriends? Well, that's all in the future, nothing has happened yet. I'm not worried. Right now, all I need to do is love him well, and that's enough."
Qin Yunluo took a deep breath. Hua Rubing's words made her realize that although they were equals in work, she could never match Hua Rubing's understanding and tolerance of love. She had to admit that.
Guan Xing happily returned to the medical room to chat with Fang Jie. His mood was cheerful. With two beautiful women, both deep in love and tenderness, his life was indeed enviable.
At around 10 o'clock, Guan Xing was checking a female employee's pulse when he noticed she wasn't feeling well. She was only experiencing a slight increase in her pulse. Suddenly, his phone rang.
"You don't need to worry. You're pregnant. Just be careful for the next few days. Avoid heavy work, eat some sour fruits, and the discomfort will pass in a few days."
After reassuring the female employee, who left feeling both happy and shy, he answered the phone. It was from the old dean.
"Guan Xing, do you have time now? Can you come to the hospital right away? There's an urgent matter," the dean said in a low voice, sounding heavy, as if something really serious had come up that needed his help.
Guan Xing, with a deep sense of gratitude toward the dean and Old Huang, couldn't refuse. "Alright, I'll be there in thirty minutes."
He called Cheng Yunya to inform her, but since this was a routine matter and Xie Hengsheng had already told him there was no need to report his departures, as long as his phone was on, it was fine.
He drove his car and reached the Third Hospital in less than twenty minutes.
There was no sign of Old Huang or the dean at the entrance. Instead, it was Du Juan, who was walking back and forth anxiously. When she saw Guan Xing, she hurried over.
It had been a month since they last met, and Du Juan had matured a lot. She was now wearing a large white coat, looking very much like a doctor. She had also somehow started wearing thick glasses, giving her an air of scholarly elegance.
She grabbed Guan Xing's hand and said, "Guan Da Ge, there's an important figure from the medical world here, specifically asking for you. The dean and Old Huang were called in, and they're still not out. The dean asked me to wait for you and told you to be careful when you go in. It looks like this person has more power than the investigation team from last time."
Hearing this, Guan Xing felt both exasperated and amused. He had thought it was a medical issue, but it turned out to be another bureaucratic matter. It seemed like the issues from last time were far from over.
Though Du Juan's concern for him was appreciated, Guan Xing's nature wasn't one to bow to others in power. He smiled and nodded at her, saying, "Alright, I understand. Let's go inside."
Seeing Du Juan being so careful, Guan Xing didn't want her to worry too much.
"Got it, Guan Da Ge. A real man doesn't eat the immediate loss. The dean won't harm you," Du Juan said again, still a bit worried.
Guan Xing laughed, "Alright, you've changed, you're becoming like an old lady. Let's go, I'll be careful."
With that, Du Juan smiled at him and led him into the building, holding his hand. A soft blush appeared on her face, making her look even more charming.
For Guan Da Ge, she didn't mind being called an old lady as long as she could help him.
