Chapter 16 : Take a Look at Your Own Illness First

• After returning to the room, Ye Ming changed into decent clothes and came out to find Gu Xiaonan already dressed.
• She had put on delicate makeup, and her purple fitted dress accentuated her straight figure and noble temperament.
• Her legs were straight and smooth, flawless like white jade, leaving Ye Ming stunned.
• "What are you looking at? Hurry up and let's go," Gu Xiaonan frowned slightly as she saw him staring at her.
• "Okay... okay," Ye Ming snapped out of it and averted his gaze.
• The two of them went to the parking lot, where Gu Xiaonan drove them to a high-end restaurant nearby.
• "Why did you insist on me coming for dinner today? Is it...?" Ye Ming began to wonder if she wanted to have a romantic date with him.
• Gu Xiaonan glanced at him and said, "Blame it on my mom. She told my best friend about my marriage, and my friend insisted on meeting you. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed to this dinner. Just keep quiet and eat your food. If she asks anything, don't say anything random. Follow my lead."
• Ye Ming nodded, "Okay, I'll follow your lead."
• The two of them entered the restaurant, and not far away, a girl stood up and waved at them.
• Ye Ming guessed that she must be Gu Xiaonan's best friend.
• Speaking of which, the girl was quite attractive, both in terms of appearance and figure. But there was also a handsome guy sitting next to her.
• Gu Xiaonan and Ye Ming walked over.
• The guy's gaze was fixed on Gu Xiaonan, unable to look away for a moment, and there was a special meaning in his eyes. Of course, Ye Ming noticed all of this.
• "Xiaonan, we haven't had a meal together for a month. You're really heartless. You didn't even tell me about your marriage. If I hadn't heard it from my aunt, I wouldn't have known how long you were going to hide it from me," the girl complained.
• Gu Xiaonan smiled and introduced, "Let me briefly introduce. This is my best friend, Zhang Ling, and this is her boyfriend, Zhu Peng."
• Then, she introduced Ye Ming's name to Zhang Ling.
• The four of them sat down and started ordering.
• "I want this, this. Xiaonan, you've hidden it from me so hard, today I'm going to treat you well," Zhang Ling smiled.
• "Sure, no problem. I'll make sure you're satisfied," Gu Xiaonan said.
• It was clear that the two of them had a good relationship.
• Zhu Peng looked Ye Ming up and down, and seeing that he was dressed casually, he couldn't help but look down on him.
• "Brother Ye, you must have something extraordinary to be able to marry such a beautiful woman like Miss Gu. What kind of business are you in?" Zhu Peng asked.
• Ye Ming was slightly taken aback, he could sense that the other party was trying to find out about him.
• "I'm just a jobless wanderer, but if you want to talk about business, I opened a clinic these past few days, right next to Yunyang Hospital. If you have any illnesses, you can come find me," Ye Ming replied casually.
• Zhu Peng's lips twitched. He was still young and healthy, what illness could he have? Wasn't the other party cursing him?
• "A clinic at the entrance of the hospital? Brother Ye, are you joking? And it's the famous Yunyang Hospital in Ninghai City. Are there really people going to you for treatment?" Zhu Peng said with disdain.
• Ye Ming calmly said, "It's just started, so there aren't many people yet. But yesterday, there were quite a few people, queuing up for seventy to eighty meters outside. Business is not bad."
• Upon hearing this, Zhu Peng sneered. The way he saw it, Ye Ming was just bragging. A group of people queuing up outside a small clinic instead of going to the hospital for treatment? Who would believe that?
• Gu Xiaonan also frowned slightly. Not only was he bragging to her, but he was also bragging outside. It would be embarrassing for her if he couldn't deliver.
• She reached out and pinched his leg, signaling him to shut up.
• Ye Ming smiled and didn't say much. Although what he said was true.
• "Xiaonan, so it turns out that Ye Ming is a doctor? It's a coincidence, my boyfriend is also a doctor and works at Tianhe Hospital!" Zhang Ling said.
• Zhu Peng smiled and provocatively looked at Ye Ming.
• "Tianhe Hospital? That's the best hospital in Ninghai City. To be able to work there, Zhu Peng must be really outstanding," Gu Xiaonan also sighed.
• Upon hearing this, Zhu Peng smiled satisfactorily.
• "I'm just a Ph.D. from Huadong Medical University. I still have a lot to learn," Zhu Peng said.
• Ye Ming furrowed his brows. Tianhe Hospital was the hospital where his grandmother had an accident. He didn't expect the other party to be related to that hospital.
• "Brother Ye, what's your educational background?" Zhu Peng asked again.
• "Associate degree," Ye Ming casually replied.
• Upon hearing this, Zhu Peng's disdain became even more apparent.
• "Brother Ye, there's a saying that goes, 'There is a gap between people, and it can't be generalized.' I advise you not to let Xiaonan seek medical treatment from you. Just make money by cheating others outside. Don't harm your family," Zhu Peng said.
• Zhang Ling laughed when she heard this. In her opinion, Ye Ming was useless except for being handsome. She didn't know how Gu Xiaonan could be interested in this man. Did she just want to keep a pretty face?
• Ye Ming furrowed his brows. The last sentence from the other party was insulting.
• Although his education was not high, did it determine everything?
• Gu Xiaonan was also displeased. Although she knew that Ye Ming didn't have much ability, he was playing the role of her husband now. How could she let him be insulted so casually?
• "Mr. Zhu, that was a bit too much," Gu Xiaonan said.
• Zhang Ling sensed that the other party was angry and tried to mediate, saying, "Xiaonan, Zhu Peng is just straightforward. Don't take it to heart."
• Since Zhang Ling said so, Gu Xiaonan didn't say much.
• Ye Ming smiled and looked at Zhu Peng, saying, "Mr. Zhu, I see that you're treating others, but have you taken care of your own health?"
• Zhu Peng furrowed his brows.
• "What do you mean? I'm very healthy, very fit."
• "Healthy? I don't think so," Ye Ming's lips curled up slightly.
