My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 1304: What Little Secret Does Qiao Jiasen Have?

After standing for a while longer, Lu Lingche turned around and re-entered the hospital.

He pushed open the door to Qiao Yin’s office and saw her curled up on the sofa, asleep.

He didn’t wake her up, but walked over quietly, sat down beside her, and covered her with his coat.

She had stayed up late last night, and got up early this morning to pay New Year’s visit and provide treatment to Gu Guotai, sleeping a total of only four and a half hours.

However, no sooner had he sat down than her phone on the sofa began to ring.

Lu Lingche thought someone was calling her, but when he picked it up, he realized it was her alarm going off.

Qiao Yin was awakened by the alarm and opened her eyes.

Seeing Lu Lingche beside her, she was just about to speak, when the next second, he pulled her into his arms, "You can sleep a little more, I’ll wake you in half an hour."

Qiao Yin rubbed her eyes, "No need to sleep anymore, I still have to go on rounds soon. Most of the medical staff are on holiday, I need to keep an eye on things."

"There’s no need to work so hard. You’re the owner of the hospital, you should also take a break for yourself."

"I don’t find it hard, I find it fulfilling. Precisely because I am the owner, I should do more, take more responsibility. Others, they are just employees, they get paid for the work they do, and it’s right for them to take a break during holidays."

Since owning the hospital, Qiao Yin had hardly taken any breaks, spending most of the time working seven days a week.

It wasn’t just her; her grandmother was the same, working even longer hours and taking even fewer breaks than her.

As a child, she took for granted her grandmother treating patients every day, thinking that it was just how life was, busy and full of work every day.

It was only when she grew up that she realized how astonishing her grandmother’s habit of not resting for so many years was.

It was only this year that she moved her grandmother’s clinic to the city, and her grandmother finally took some rest. Previously, even during the New Year holidays, her grandmother’s clinic remained open to handle any emergencies that might arise, ready to treat anyone at any time.

Remembering her grandmother’s diligence, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but shake her head; she was still far from reaching her grandmother’s dedication!

She patted her face, trying to wake herself up a bit more, and then asked Lu Lingche, "What were you and Qiao Jiasen talking about downstairs?"

Lu Lingche was startled, "You saw?"

"I saw. I was originally watching Qiao Jiasen leave, but then I unexpectedly saw you stopping him."

Lu Lingche was silent for a moment, and then said, "I didn’t say much, just wanted to get his consent."

Qiao Yin knew what he was asking Qiao Jiasen’s consent for, and she felt it was somewhat amusing. She saw Qiao Jiasen as a child, whereas Lu Lingche seemed not to treat him as such, making it seriously formal.

With interest, she asked, "So, how did you talk to him, did he agree in the end?"

"He didn’t agree, no matter how I put it, he wouldn’t agree. I even disclosed one of his small secrets, kind of threatening him, but he still didn’t consent."

Qiao Yin’s eyes lit up, "Jiasen has a small secret? How come I don’t know about it?"

"He doesn’t want you to know, so, for the time being, I can’t tell you either."

This completely sparked Qiao Yin’s curiosity, "No, you have to tell me. You know his secret, why can’t I know?"

Lu Lingche laughed softly, "I came to know of it accidentally, not because he told me himself. If you really want to know, you should ask him instead. I already have a bad image in his eyes, revealing his secret might make him hate me to death."

Qiao Yin knew about Jiasen’s nature, that he could really keep things to himself. If he didn’t want to disclose a secret, it was futile to ask.

She shook her head helplessly, "Forget it, it’s impossible to get it out of him. But it’s normal for a kid to have his little secrets."

Because Lu Lingche referred to it as a "little secret," Qiao Yin didn’t think too deeply about it, assuming that Jiasen might have a crush or something minor like that.
