The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

Chapter 1044 Everyone Knows

Su Jinyao nodded, his tone remaining calm and even: "I understand. Protecting patient privacy is a doctor's basic professional ethics."

He paused, looking at Qin Xuan's relieved and somewhat relieved expression, and still dutifully added a reminder: "However, as your doctor, I also have to remind you, in the future... be careful, don't take advantage of your youth and overwork your body."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan's face instantly turned bright red. He was both anxious and ashamed, thinking that Su Jinyao was implying something about that aspect of his life. He stammered, "You...I...I didn't mean that..."

Su Jinyao raised her hand, interrupting him, "What I meant was, I want you to smoke less, drink less, stay up less, maintain a regular schedule, and be more moderate. It will be good for your recovery."

Qin Xuan: "..."

So that's what it meant.

His face was burning hot, and he could only stiffen his neck and mumble, "...Oh, I understand."

.............

Qin Xuan had just gone out.

Bai Tutu immediately rushed over, grabbed his arm tightly, looked up at him with her little face, and asked anxiously, "How is it? What did Dr. Su say? Is it serious?"

Qin Xuan forced a relaxed smile, reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone feigning composure: "It's nothing, just a false alarm. Dr. Su said I've just been too tired lately, and prescribed some tonics to help me recover. I'll be fine in a while."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tutu finally felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She immediately wrapped her small arms around Qin Xuan's waist, buried her face in his chest, and said in a muffled voice, filled with lingering fear and dependence, "That's good...you really scared me to death."

Feeling the soft body in his arms, Qin Xuan reached out and hugged her back, gently patting her back to comfort her: "Don't worry, I'm so strong, what could possibly happen to me?"

"Mmm!" Bai Tutu nodded vigorously, lifted her head from his embrace, stood on tiptoe, and quickly planted a kiss on his lips.

To avoid arousing her suspicion and to suppress his own anxiety, Qin Xuan lowered his head and gently returned her kiss.

But there was a hint of unspoken worries in that kiss.

And so, Qin Xuan, carrying the bottle of life-saving medicine and burdened with worries, returned to the villa with Bai Tutu.

That night, lying on the soft bed, Qin Xuan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

In the darkness, he stared at the ceiling, his mind a jumbled mess.

He was so young and dashing, how could he suddenly... contract such an embarrassing disease?

Is this really retribution?

Hey hey hey...

And then there's Su Jinyao... Although he promised to keep it a secret, can we really expect him to keep quiet about something like this?

What if... what if he accidentally let it slip...

He was so worried that he didn't sleep a wink all night, only managing to drift off to sleep just before dawn.

The next day, a jarring cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, jolting Qin Xuan awake from his sleep.

His heart was pounding, and he almost reflexively grabbed his phone. The screen displayed the three words "Bo Jingzhou".

His heart skipped a beat. Why was Bo Jingzhou calling him?

"Hey, Jingzhou, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"

On the other end of the phone, Bo Jingzhou's voice came through: "Qin Xuan, I heard you're not feeling well, what's wrong?"

what?

Qin Xuan's eyes widened instantly, and he almost jumped off the bed.

How did Bo Jingzhou know that he was feeling unwell?

He wondered if he was still half asleep and having a nightmare, so he pinched his thigh hard. Ouch! It hurt. It wasn't a dream!

Did Bo Jingzhou really call to "show concern" for his health?

But this is even more terrifying than the sun rising in the west!

Given Bo Jingzhou's tendency to prioritize women over friends and ignore everyone except his wife and children, he has never been seen to take the initiative to care about the health of any of his brothers in all his years!

How could he... unless...

Qin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Unless this bastard had heard some rumors and called specifically to see him make a fool of himself!

He immediately denied it loudly, trying to cover up his guilty conscience: "What did you say? Who said I wasn't feeling well? I'm perfectly healthy, strong enough to kill a bull. I was up all night last night, and you woke me up as soon as I fell asleep!"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone before Bo Jingzhou's voice came through again: "Is that so?"

His tone was unpredictable, making Qin Xuan feel uneasy.

next second.

"It's alright, go back to sleep." After saying that, Bo Jingzhou hung up the phone conveniently, leaving only a busy tone.

Beep beep beep, finally it's over.

Qin Xuan had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to throw his phone away when the piercing ringtone rang out again.

He picked up his phone with a pounding heart and saw that the caller ID showed Song Yunchen.

He frowned as he answered the phone, but before he could speak, Song Yunchen's concerned voice came through: "Dude, I heard you rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night last night? Are you alright?"

Qin Xuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

How did Song Yunchen find out too?

He suppressed the urge to vomit blood and continued to feign composure: "It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong with me? It's just... I drank too much last night and got a stomach ulcer. I went to the hospital and got some medicine. It's nothing serious."

Song Yunchen: "Oh..."

The tone of his voice didn't sound like he completely believed it.

Qin Xuan finally couldn't hold back any longer. He lowered his voice and almost gritted his teeth as he asked, "No... Song Yunchen, tell me honestly, who the hell told you I went to the hospital last night?"

Song Yunchen chuckled softly on the other end of the phone, avoiding answering directly, only saying, "It's good that you're alright. Take care of yourself, buddy."

After saying that, he hung up the phone decisively.

"Beep beep beep—" Hearing the busy tone, Qin Xuan felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

After a while, "ding ding ding—", the phone rang again.

Qin Xuan scratched his head in frustration. Who the hell is it this time?

He angrily picked up his phone, and the screen flashed the three large characters "Gu Yueze".

Without even thinking, Qin Xuan hung up.

What the hell? How come these people are so well-informed? Did they create a separate group chat just for discussing this without him?

He had just tossed his phone back, thinking he could finally have some peace and quiet, when the persistent ringing started again.

Qin Xuan grabbed his phone in frustration, wanting to see which fool had gotten away with it this time.

The name flashing on the screen made him freeze instantly: Erbao?

Even that little brat from Bo Jingzhou's family knows?

Qin Xuan was taken aback at first, but then he thought that children are simple-minded and wouldn't beat around the bush like those old foxes. Maybe he could get some truth out of them.

He wanted to see just how much these people actually knew!
