When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 525: Double Standards...



After waking up at noon, Chen Cang cleaned up, took a bath, and went out to buy clothes with Qin Xiaotian in the afternoon.

Qin Yue sneaked out of her department in the afternoon, which earned her nothing but an eye roll from Chen Cang.

This guy was now utterly shameless, "You're skipping work again!"

Qin Yue gave Chen Cang a serious look, "Think carefully before you speak again!"

Chen Cang sighed, "Your work efficiency is really high."

After hearing that, Qin Yue's face finally broke into a smile. She was now in an almost semi-resigned state. The emergency department didn't manage her much, surgery wasn't in a hurry to have her, and she was in the midst of applying for a doctoral assessment.

Being solely responsible for the department's scientific research work was something that Director Li Baoshan had ingeniously come up with, creating this position for her.

Seeing Qin Xiaotian being appeased by his clearly perfunctory tone, Chen Cang sighed:

Women are really superficial.

But... men just happen to like superficial women!

Oh... men!

...

The autumn sky was clear, and it had been a long time since Chen Cang went out shopping. The commercial street was still bustling with activity.

Qin Yue took out a piece of paper from her pocket, "Let's go, time to buy clothes!"

While speaking, she pulled Chen Cang into a shopping mall.

Chen Cang curiously asked, "What's that written on there?"

Qin Yue matter-of-factly said, "It's a plan."

"First, we buy clothes, then get our hair done, then go buy gifts..."

Chen Cang looked at the full half-page of Qin Yue's plan and felt a bit overwhelmed; he thought he couldn't get through the day without a bottle of stamina potion...

However, thinking of Qin Xiaotian's 50-minute homework assignments every day, Chen Cang was worried. He needed to level up and burst out some stamina potions, or endurance potions, and the like in the upcoming days.

Chen Cang wasn't too picky about clothes; any brand was fine as long as they were comfortable to wear and looked good.

However, Qin Yue had an eye for fashion and kept trying different clothes on Chen Cang.

After each trial, her eyes would sparkle, giving Chen Cang the chills, almost as if he were being stalked by the Big Bad Wolf like Pleasant Goat.

Coming out of a clothing store, Chen Cang earnestly looked at Qin Yue, "Confess, have you been coveting me for a long time?"

Qin Yue gave Chen Cang a look, "Don't flatter yourself!"

Chen Cang disdainfully said, "Wipe your drool off and speak properly!"

Qin Yue was startled and quickly touched her mouth to find nothing. Realizing Chen Cang was teasing her, she stomped her foot in annoyance.

The two shopped around all afternoon and didn't finish until after eight o'clock. Chen Cang was laden with large and small bags, hanging things wherever he could.

...

...

That evening, back at home, Qin Xiaoyuan was reading in the study, Ji Ruyun was applying a face mask on the sofa, and Qin Yue, after changing clothes, lay on the couch watching her mother. She couldn't help but ask:

"Mom, I am planning to go back to Chen Cang's hometown with him tomorrow. It's his mother's birthday. He hasn't been back for several years now, so I said I would go with him."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyun suddenly paused and then realized, "I was wondering why these past few days you've been busy cooking and frying food, I even told your dad our girl has grown up!"

"So, you're doing this just to please your mother-in-law! Qin Xiaoyuan, come out and see what your daughter is up to!"

At the call, Qin Xiaoyuan naturally came out immediately. Hearing Ji Ruyun's words, he quickly asked, "What's wrong, wife?"

Ji Ruyun sneered, "Your daughter is planning to go back to Chen Cang's hometown with him."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan almost didn't hesitate, "No, no!"

Qin Yue was startled, "Why not? I'm just going to visit my aunt and uncle, what's the problem?"

Qin Xiaoyuan immediately said, "It's not that, does the Chen Family even know about you for you to just go, and besides... there's nothing set in stone between you two, rashly visiting his family..."

Qin Yue wrinkled her nose, "Chen Cang has already met you all, hasn't he? He's already laid down the first stroke, and I'm just going to do the rest, aren't I?"

Qin Xiaoyuan heard this and became anxious. After all, she was his daughter, and he naturally had more concerns. Examples from life were clear in his mind. Qin Xiaoyuan, trying to stay calm, said, "Yueyue, listen to your father. Think about it, if you go there, what will people think of you..."

Ji Ruyun, listening to Qin Xiaoyuan's old-fashioned talk, couldn't hold back anymore, "Enough, Old Qin, what era are we in now."

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan looked at his wife, "This... wouldn't an unexpected visit be looked down upon by his family? That's what you told me before!"

Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes, "Enough, those old-fashioned ideas of yours are long outdated. Who says that a girl visiting will be looked down upon? Who could possibly look down on our daughter?"

Qin Yue puffed up her chest, "Exactly, I'm showing respect for the elders. How could that be looked down upon?"

Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Ji Ruyun, "When I took you to my home, isn't that what you said to me?"

Ji Ruyun gave an awkward smile, "Times have changed. Besides, you and young Chen are not the same. Everything is changing; none of those old sayings apply now!"

Old Qin felt a sense of grievance.

Why is it that everything becomes different when it comes to Chen Cang?

This is way too double-standard!

Seeing that the tide had turned, Qin Xiaoyuan still couldn't help but say to Ji Ruyun, "Come here, I want to talk to you for a bit."

After speaking, he headed toward the bedroom.

Ji Ruyun glanced at Qin Yue, "Don't worry, I'll persuade him for you."

Qin Yue made a fist to show her encouragement!

When Ji Ruyun entered the bedroom and closed the door, she asked, "What is it, Old Qin?"

Qin Xiaoyuan thought for a while, then sighed, "Wife, you need to talk to Yueyue properly. If she is going... let her go, but there are some things she needs to be mindful of."

"Look, for example, after going there, they cannot stay together at night, since... they aren't married yet, right?"

"This isn't a local visit, where you go and come back the same day without an overnight stay. She'll probably stay a couple of days this time. You really need to talk to Yueyue about this."

Ji Ruyun looked at Qin Xiaoyuan's worried face and understood his concerns.

Isn't a father supposed to worry about his daughter?

Young Chen is good, and he and Qin Yue get along well, but who knows what the future holds.

Although his thoughts are somewhat old-fashioned... ah well...

It's better left unsaid.

Ji Ruyun smiled, "Alright, Old Qin, our daughter's grown up now. You shouldn't worry so much. Isn't it great if she gets married and has children sooner?"

"I reckon, let Yueyue take a look around there first this time. When there's a chance, we will meet with both families, have a face-to-face, and try to settle this matter sooner."

"Our daughter is not young anymore, and she's even a year older than young Chen. She's already twenty-eight, imagine how old Yueyue will be when she's twenty-eight."

Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, he wasn't oblivious to these facts; it was just that after spending so much time in the hospital, he had seen a lot of human relationships, and sometimes, whatever the matter, he just tended to consider a bit more.

With others, it's easy to just say times have changed and let it be, but when it's about his own family, it's not so simple to brush off.
