"Doctor, here are the latest X-ray films." Li Haochen nervously handed the examination results to the attending physician, Liu Haiyan.
After a short while, Liu Haiyan looked surprised and put down the report. "Mr. Li, your recovery speed is truly beyond expectations, and the results are astonishing. However, remember not to do heavy labor for the time being when you get home. You can do some light work as appropriate. Well, come back for a follow-up examination next week."
Li Haochen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with joy. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Dr. Liu, thank you!"
Murong Yanran had just arrived from school. Seeing Li Haochen packing his things, she quickly walked over. "You're better now, rest. I'll pack."
Murong Yanran took the clothes from Li Haochen's hands. Although they were folded a bit crookedly, to Li Haochen, they looked pleasing to his eyes.
"Are the procedures all done?"
"Yes, everything is done. I just had Liu doctor look at the results."
Murong Yanran stopped what she was doing, looking a little nervous. "Doctor... what did she say?"
"Good recovery, just need to rest at home for a few days."
"Okay!"
Murong Yanran resumed packing, a happy smile on her face.
After packing, Murong Yanran walked up to Li Haochen, looked him over, and reached out to adjust his collar. Her movements were so natural, like a wife married for many years. "Not bad, quite handsome."
"Let's... go home!"
Murong Yanran carried the luggage, holding Li Haochen's arm, her small face flushed. "Yes, home!"
...
"Haochen, I haven't seen you back for so many days. Hey, what happened to your hand?" Huang Haiyuan saw Li Haochen's right hand bandaged and a beautiful woman standing beside him. "Who is this?"
Murong Yanran smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Yuan, I had a small accident and injured my hand. This is... my girlfriend!" Li Haochen said, his face blushing as he glanced at Murong Yanran.
"Oh, you lucky young man. Go back and rest well if you're injured. Come to me if you need anything." Huang Haiyuan, with a smiling face, dragged his empty large water bucket home. It seemed his catch of fish today was abundant.
"Creak~"
Li Haochen pushed open the iron gate of the courtyard. The harsh sound at this moment seemed particularly pleasant. "Although it's just rented, it feels so comfortable for both body and mind to be back."
However, when he pushed open the main door, it made both of them frown. Murong Yanran covered her mouth and nose. "Such a strong moldy smell."
"Of course, we haven't been back for more than ten days."
Li Haochen walked in and opened all the windows. As the breeze blew in, the pungent smell of mold slowly dissipated.
It took the two of them more than two hours to tidy up both inside and out.
"Grumble~!"
"I'm hungry," Murong Yanran pouted and said playfully.
Li Haochen looked at the blackened vegetables in the refrigerator and shook his head. "Let's eat out! There's nothing at home. We can also buy more groceries and invite our dorm mates over tonight to celebrate."
"Why not go back to school to eat? Don't waste money."
"It's okay, your man can earn money. You just be a happy princess, hehe!"
"Hmph, I don't want to be a vase. I want to be a domineering CEO." Murong Yanran playfully snorted and pouted, making a cute face.
"Alright, my beautiful CEO, let's go eat quickly, otherwise, if I get hungry again, I'll have to carry you."
"You dislike carrying me?"
"..."
"Carry me."
"Now?"
Li Haochen smiled slightly, turned around, and squatted down. "Get on, hold tight."
"Mm."
This act of carrying her made countless people full of "dog food" and many male compatriots suffer...
...
"Don't miss out, graduation clearance sale, only today..."
The two arrived at the pedestrian street next to Binhai University. A catchy, repetitive sales pitch attracted Li Haochen. He walked over, where a young woman in her thirties stood at the entrance of a stall, holding a loudspeaker and shouting to the few pedestrians.
Seeing Li Haochen and Murong Yanran approaching, the young woman enthusiastically greeted them. "Beautiful couple, come and take a look, all imported goods, great quality..."
"Boss, this pedestrian street has a lot of foot traffic. What's going on here?" Li Haochen walked in, pretending to browse seriously, his intention not being to buy.
Perhaps due to the sluggish business causing inner anxiety and helplessness, the young woman boss's chatter seemed to collapse, pouring out. "Sigh, the pedestrian street is a good place, but how many people buy clothes offline now? We're all suffering from the trouble caused by that Huang Liu Liang Ma. Look how many clothing stores are left on this entire pedestrian street. I'm only holding on here because of my prime location. Look, the one in front closed down last week. I heard they lost hundreds of thousands. Sigh~"
"Handsome guy, beautiful girl, I'll give you an extra discount. Buy two? Hey, hey, don't go... Pfft, wasting so much of my saliva. Don't miss out, graduation clearance sale, only today..."
...
"Haochen, you want to take over that shop?"
"You know me best, my wife! Hehe!"
"Shameless! Who's your wife!" Murong Yanran's face turned red, and she pouted and glared angrily.
"Whoever responds is!" Li Haochen maintained a shamelessly stubborn demeanor, like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
"Really taking it over?"
"No choice, I have to support a wife and child. I have to strive for it."
Although Li Haochen had a careless demeanor, the determination in his eyes was undeniable.
Murong Yanran paused, then lowered her head to eat dessert. "I still have 300,000."
"What if you lose it all?"
Murong Yanran looked up at Li Haochen and smiled faintly. "If you lose it all... you'll support me for life!"
...
Seeing Li Haochen and Murong Yanran approach the shop again, the young woman seemed displeased and ignored them, continuing to shout weakly, "Don't miss out, graduation clearance sale..."
"Boss..."
"Go away, go away, don't hinder my business!" The young woman boss propped her cheek with her left hand and waved at Li Haochen with her right, as if swatting flies.
"We want to take over your shop."
The young woman jolted. Her hand supporting her cheek slipped, and her entire head hit the table, causing a small bump. She glared resentfully at Li Haochen, muttered a curse in a low voice, and then put on a smiling face, walking over cheerfully. "Both of you are clearly outstanding individuals. Taking over this prosperous shop will definitely bring you immense wealth..."
"I don't see you making immense wealth?" Li Haochen thought disdainfully.
"Alright, boss, stop talking about irrelevant things. Tell me about this shop." m..oΓg
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my babbling mouth." The young woman boss's eyes darted around, flashing with shrewdness as she calculated internally. "To be honest with you two bosses, I signed a 5-year contract for this shop, and there are still 3 years left. The monthly rent is 3,000..."
"Stop, stop, stop, don't talk about all that messy stuff. I just want to know the transfer fee."
"10... 150,000." The young woman slyly glanced at Li Haochen.
"100,000. Take it or leave it," Li Haochen stated firmly.
"This..." The young woman showed a look of difficulty, her heart battling internally.
"Sigh, fine!"
The two went to the property management office to handle the handover and transfer. All procedures were completed by past 4 PM.
"Let's go, we're going back!"
"Carry me."
"..."
