Butler Qin couldn’t help but wonder.

Who was this “Xiao Cheng”?

Which “Cheng” family did he belong to?

Was it the family he was thinking about?

As he was talking, footsteps approached, and several doctors violently rushed in.

The man leading them was young, tall, and slender. Instead of a white coat, he wore a loose draped black coat and was looking down at the CT scan handed to him by Cheng Weiping. His eyebrows were focused earnestly, and he walked over orderly.

The soft lighting in the ward with some backlighting shone against his recognizable face.

Butler Qin stood by the sofa, feeling like he had been nailed in place.

Qin Hanqiu was very familiar with Cheng Juan.

He directly stepped forward. “Xiao Cheng, thanks to you today…”

Putting down the CT scan, Cheng Juan looked down and calmly said, “No problem.”

They walked to the hospital bed.

Behind him, those who had originally followed Cheng Juan and Cheng Weiping stopped in place, petrified.

Everyone present knew Cheng Juan.

Particularly people like Cheng Weiping, who couldn’t be more familiar with the Cheng family’s crown prince, the favored son of Old Master Cheng. In Beijing’s top circle, most people had to address him as Master Juan.

From the Cheng family to the four major families…

Not many people could call him “Xiao Cheng”…

He was the only one who dared to call him so naturally…

The group of doctors behind Cheng Juan froze for several seconds before withdrawing their shocked gazes. They became more cautious towards Qin Hanqiu.

Qin Hanqiu remembered Butler Qin, turned, and introduced them. “Butler Qin, this is Xiao Cheng.”

Then, he turned to Cheng Juan. “This is Butler Qin. He has wanted to meet you for a long time.”

Cheng Juan slightly turned his head and nodded at Butler Qin. “Hello.” He greeted in a clear voice.

Butler Qin was speechless.

His legs felt numb, and he couldn’t say a word.

“Crack—”

The ward door opened and Qin Ran came in holding her phone.

Cheng Weiping immediately gave way. “Miss Qin.”

He politely greeted her.

Seeing that Cheng Weiping had given way for her, the other directors also quickly took a step back.

Qin Ran didn’t pay attention to these things. After politely greeting Cheng Weiping, she stuffed her phone into her pocket and walked over to Cheng Juan. “Have you finished reading it?”

“Almost.” Cheng Juan was looking down at the record hanging by the end of the bed, very focused.

Cheng Weiping had reported most parts to him, but he still felt uneasy and meticulously checked it again.

Qin Ran stood waiting for him to finish reading.

Qin Hanqiu was about to say something to him, but Qin Ran glanced at him, and he swallowed. “Xiao Cheng, did you not rest this afternoon?”

Cheng Juan’s delicate and elegant face revealed unconcealed fatigue between his brows.

He slightly lowered his voice. “Ran Ran, you and Xiao Cheng should go back to rest. There’s a doctor here, nothing will happen.”

He naturally heard from Qin Ling that Qin Ran was very busy with experiments these days.

Although he didn’t know what Cheng Juan did, he didn’t seem to be in a particularly good state now.

Cheng Juan remained silent and paused before turning to Qin Ran.

Without saying anything, Qin Ran just reached out and hung the report at the end of Qin Ling’s bed. She said with any emotions, “Dad, we’ll go back first.”

“I’ll send you out.” Qin Hanqiu opened the door.

“Wait.” Cheng Juan grabbed her wrist and didn’t immediately leave.

He gave a few instructions to the others before leaving.

They took the elevator to the underground parking lot.

Taking out his car key from his coat pocket, he opened the door and suddenly remembered something. Raising his clear eyebrows, he asked calmly, “Wait, Sister Ran…”

“Yeah?” Qin Ran casually responded while walking to the co-pilot’s seat.

“Did you speed today?” Cheng Juan put his hand on the car and glanced at her.

Qin Ran was speechless.

“You have two speeding tickets.” Cheng Juan reached out with his other hand. “Where’s the key?”

Fortunately, no one dared to stop the license plate she drove and had silently deducted points and fined her before notifying him.

Qin Ran blankly took out the car key.

**

Upstairs.

Cheng Weiping and the others went out more respectfully after checking all the procedures.

The ward was finally quiet.

Qin Hanqiu drank half a glass of water and sent a text message to ask Qin Ran to tell him when she reached home. He turned to look at Butler Qin. “Butler Qin, are you okay?”

Supporting himself with his hand on the sofa, Butler Qin blankly looked up. “I’m fine, Second Master.”

“That’s good. You haven’t closed your eyes all day and night. Go back to rest first, don’t harm your body,” said Qin Hanqiu.

Butler Qin was sent to the elevator by him.

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Qin Hanqiu considerately pressed the elevator button for him before going out.

Butler Qin only reacted when he reached the first floor.

He walked out of the elevator, stood at the entrance, and called Qin Xiuchen.

Qin Xiuchen just finished laying down instructions when he received the call. With faint hostility still between his eyebrows, he stood by the window and lit a cigarette. “Butler Qin?”

“Sixth Master.” Butler Qin watched as people came and went and finally returned to his senses. “I just saw the Xiao Cheng that the Second Master always talks about. Do you know who he is?”

Qin Xiuchen puffed out a smoke ring.

The hostility on his face slowly faded, and he raised an eyebrow.

Qin Hanqiu had mentioned Xiao Cheng more than once or twice, and he had already heard about him several times in the hospital today. However, he didn’t know much about the Research Institute and could only guess.

“Butler Qin, is he from… the Cheng family?” He guessed.

Walking out of the hospital door, the cold wind blew against Butler Qin and gradually cleared his mind. “Not only that, he’s the Cheng family’s crown prince.”
