Song Anguo didn't struggle too much and agreed to Chen Xiao's request.

The most important point was that what Chen Xiao asked him to do wouldn't harm the family's interests.

In fact, it was even beneficial for the Song family.

The reason why the Song family disliked Chen Xiao before was simply because Chen Xiao was born in a small place and didn't have much of a background. Although he was powerful, he couldn't catch the Song family's eye.

But after today's events, Song Anguo understood that Chen Xiao wasn't as unbearable as the Song family thought.

He was much more capable than the Song family imagined!

If Song Anran could really be with Chen Xiao, it would definitely be more beneficial than harmful to the Song family.

What's more, if Song Anran was really with Chen Xiao, then Chen Xiao would be his brother-in-law in the future, and Song Anguo wouldn't have to worry about Chen Xiao taking his life!

After understanding this, Song Anguo set off back to Imperial City that night. He wanted to help his sister persuade the Song family to accept Chen Xiao!

But Chen Xiao didn't know that Song Anguo had already thought so far ahead. He and Song Anran weren't even officially together yet.

The reason why he ordered Song Anguo to be his eyes and ears in the Song family was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

In the following days, Chen Xiao enjoyed a rare period of leisure.

Every day, he went from point A to point B, going to work and getting off work, getting off work and going to work...

Under his leadership, the Traditional Chinese Medicine department had been revitalized, and both its morale and medical level had significantly improved.

Seeing this thriving scene, Chen Xiao was very gratified. He felt that he could almost let go.

That afternoon, he prepared an assessment, inviting Dean Hao and various experts from the hospital to be the examiners.

After this assessment, the Traditional Chinese Medicine department would officially usher in its first consultation show!

As expected, the assessment was a great success, and everyone passed.

Chen Xiao's greater purpose was to show off his strength to Dean Hao and the directors of other departments.

To let them know that the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of Jiangcheng Hospital had stood up!

...

When Chen Xiao was about to leave work, a sports car suddenly stopped in front of him as he was leaving the hospital.

The car door opened, and Li Ziqing stepped out.

Today, Li Ziqing wore light makeup, and her figure was accentuated by a Chanel professional suit. Her hair was styled up behind her head, making her look very dignified and elegant.

"Come with me, you drive!"

Li Ziqing threw the car keys directly to Chen Xiao and went to the passenger seat.

Chen Xiao got into the car and asked suspiciously, "Where are we going?"

"You haven't forgotten about my grandfather's eightieth birthday, have you?"

Li Ziqing frowned slightly and asked.

"Oh, oh, I remember..."

Chen Xiao suddenly realized and remembered.

But he remembered that Li Ziqing hadn't told him the specific time last time, so it wasn't his fault.

Of course, as a man, Chen Xiao wouldn't argue with Li Ziqing about such a trivial matter.

"You haven't told me where your grandfather's house is yet? And I haven't prepared anything, so it's not appropriate to go like this, right?"

Li Ziqing casually said, "There's nothing to prepare, we just need to be there. By the way, my grandfather's house is in Wei City..."

"Wait, where did you say?"

Chen Xiao slammed on the brakes, screeching—

"Wei City, what's wrong? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Li Ziqing asked casually.

The reason why Chen Xiao reacted so strongly was because he thought he had misheard!

Wei City was next to Imperial City, more than 800 kilometers away from Jiangcheng!

"Ziqing, Wei City is so far away, why drive there? Why don't we just take a plane!"

Chen Xiao suggested.

"People are usually so busy with work that they don't have much time to be with you. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to go on a road trip with you, but if you don't like it, forget it, I'll book a flight right away."

Li Ziqing pouted.

Chen Xiao wasn't afraid of anything, but there was one thing he was afraid of, and that was Li Ziqing acting spoiled with him.

The moment Li Ziqing pouted, his heart softened.

"Forget it, forget it, don't book a ticket, then we'll do as you say and drive there."

"Hehe, I knew my husband was the best to me!"

Seeing Chen Xiao compromise, Li Ziqing kissed Chen Xiao on the face.

"By the way, it's your grandfather's eightieth birthday, and I haven't even prepared a gift yet. You won't blame me, will you?"

Chen Xiao was a little apprehensive. Although Li Ziqing said that her relationship with her grandfather wasn't good, it was still a birthday celebration, and she had to save face.

"You don't need to prepare anything."

Li Ziqing shook her head. "Chen Xiao, the reason I asked you to come with me this time is to have you back me up!"

"Oh?"

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. "Ziqing, what do you mean by that?"

Li Ziqing was silent for a moment, her expression very tangled, as if she was caught in a painful memory.

She struggled for a while, and finally said: "It's a long story. Chen Xiao, I'll tell you from beginning to end when I have the chance, but not today... You just need to know that my grandfather is very bad to me. This time I'm going back is to tell them that I, Li Ziqing, can live well without their help!"

Chen Xiao didn't ask much, and said lightly: "I understand, Ziqing, don't worry, whatever you want to do, just do it. No matter what, I will support you and be your strongest backing!"

"Chen Xiao, you are so good to me."

Li Ziqing said affectionately.

"Silly girl, you are my wife, who else would I be good to if not you!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, feeling a little guilty.

Sure enough, men can lie without even thinking, they don't need to draft at all.

"Then will you always be so good to me?"

Li Ziqing asked him.

"Of course!"

Chen Xiao said firmly.

He could guarantee that.

...

Midnight arrived, and on the highway leading to Wei City, Chen Xiao was driving like lightning, and the scenery on both sides of the road was quickly receding.

Li Ziqing curled up like a kitten in the passenger seat and slowly opened her eyes.

She had just taken a nap, and when she woke up, she saw that Chen Xiao was still driving intently, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Chen Xiao, are you sleepy? Why don't you let me drive?"

Chen Xiao shook his head and said casually: "No need, even if I drive for another ten hours, I won't be tired."

This wasn't bragging at all. With Chen Xiao's ability, he wouldn't feel tired even if he kept driving.

"It's not good to drive while tired, how about I give you a little pick-me-up?"

As she spoke, Li Ziqing smiled charmingly and reached out to Chen Xiao's waist...
