Maybe it was because she kept telling me how great Southcity was.
In the end, I still chose Southcity as the location for my clinic.

I didn’t expect to see Wendy at my clinic a year later.
When our eyes met, she was also very surprised.
Seeing the diamond ring on her ring finger, I thought she had married Lucas.
Noticing my gaze, Wendy wiggled her finger:
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m married, but not to him.”
As soon as Wendy sat down, she started telling me what happened after I left.
After Lucas was brought back, he threw himself into work.
When Wendy went to find him, he didn’t even see her and said he would never marry her.
“Who can’t live without whom? I got angry at the time and had a flash marriage with another blind date my mom introduced. But my husband and I ended up falling in love after marriage, and our relationship is actually quite good.”
Rachel attended Wendy’s wedding.
After coming back, she got annoyed seeing Lucas shut himself in his room as soon as he got home.
She arranged high–intensity blind dates for him.
“He got married half a year ago, but divorced last month. You don’t know, now everyone in Rye City is saying Lucas is impotent. It’ll be hard for him to get married again.”
I felt a bit awkward hearing this.
Seeing that I wasn’t interested in Lucas’s affairs, Wendy extended her hand:
“I’m here traveling and heard from locals that there’s a pretty good traditional Chinese medicine clinic here. Can you check for me? I’ve been married for almost a year but haven’t gotten pregnant yet. Is there something wrong?”
Apart from some qi deficiency, Wendy was in good health.
I comforted her that getting pregnant shouldn’t be rushed, and if she was worried, it would be best for her husband to get checked at the hospital too.
“We’ve both been checked. I’ve also seen traditional Chinese medicine doctors before, and they said pretty much the same as you. Alright, I trust you.”
Wendy and I had only met for the second time, I think.
I didn’t expect her to have such a straightforward personality.
As she was leaving, she said voluntarily:
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell Lucas you’re here. You were right to leave back then. That guy really isn’t any good.”
I also didn’t expect to have such a conversation with someone who was almost my “love rival“.
When Ethan came, the smile was still on my face.
“Met another peculiar patient?”
The clinic’s successful opening was largely thanks to the Liao family, especially Ethan.
Idam shanining the location to deal with local tearthlomaker

From choosing the location to dealing with local troublemakers, Ethan had personally taken care of almost everything.
But even though he tried his best to keep unsavory characters away from me, there were still some strange patients who would argue with
- me.
Because of this, he would come to check on the clinic whenever he had time, afraid that I might be bullied.
I still hadn’t agreed to be with him.
But after a year of interaction, I had gotten used to sharing my daily interesting encounters with him.
He also knew about my past relationship with Lucas.
I repeated to Ethan what Wendy had come for and what she had said.
He was silent for a while.
“You still haven’t agreed to be with me. Is it because you haven’t forgotten him?”
It took me a few seconds to realize who Ethan meant by “him“.
I rolled my eyes at Ethan: “Have you run out of things to say? Do I look crazy? Why would I still be hung up on him?”
The man who was usually expressionless in front of employees now looked at me somewhat pitifully:
“Then is it because I’m not good enough? Other people are already thinking about having children, and I don’t even have a wife yet! My dad said if I don’t bring you home as a bride this year, he won’t acknowledge me as his son anymore.”
Seeing that I didn’t respond, he started complaining about women pretending to be drunk and bumping into him at social events.
At the company, new employees would deliberately create chances to
run
into him.
“I want to be able to confidently say I have a girlfriend, a wife, to keep them
away from
- me. But you won’t give me any chance…”
“If you’re that miserable, then let’s be together.”
“I’m almost being laughed at to death by those guys… Wait, what did you just say?”
Ethan suddenly jumped up and came in front of me:
“ivy, what did you just say? Can you say it again?!”
Seeing the anticipation and nervousness in his eyes, I smiled and repeated:
“I said, if you’re that miserable, then let’s be together…”
Before I could finish, Ethan had pulled me into his arms.
Feeling his slightly trembling body, I gently patted his back to comfort him.
Just then, someone came in:
“Dr. Sang… Oh, I’m sorry for interrupting! I’ll come back later!”
Hearing the voice, Ethan let go of me, his eyes red–rimmed but his face full of smiles:
“The family group chat has people checking in every day, seeing how long it would take me to make you my girlfriend. I have to let them know this news right now!”
Who would have thought that the composed Mr. Liao, who runs his business so smoothly, would have this side to him.
I can’t guarantee that we’ll definitely make it to the end.
But it’s never too late for Sang Yu. Everything is the best arrangement
