Although there was quite some distance between them, Mo Shiyun could still see Qin Chuan smiling at Jian Yiling.

This was a scene that Mo Shiyun had never expected to see.

The reason why Yiling was meeting Qin Chuan today was that Qin Chuan had found out that she was one of the attending doctors that was treating his mother’s illness.

Jian Yiling’s treatment of Qin Chuan’s mother was a long term project. It was unlike Jian Yunnao’s condition which required a mere surgery.

As a result, there was a lot of interaction that happened between Qin Chuan’s mother and Jian Yiling.

As time passed, the probability that Qin Chuan would know about her identity would increase.

As a result, Jian Yiling wasn’t surprised when she heard that Qin Chuan had figured out her identity.

Furthermore, there existed a special agreement between them. As a result, it was only a matter of time before Qin Chuan knew that she was taking care of his mother.

After Qin Chuan learned about the truth, he had immediately sent a message to Jian Yiling. He wanted to talk to her in person.

It was quite normal for the patient’s family to talk to the attending doctor. Due to this reason, Jian Yiling agreed to attend the meeting.

However, in her heart, Jian Yiling still wanted to avoid meeting with Qin Chuan as much as possible.

Jian Yiling and Qin Chuan had agreed to meet at a cafe.

The two of them chose a window seat. As the staff came over, Qin Chuan ordered two drinks.

He ordered himself a cup of coffee and ordered a milkshake for Jian Yiling.

However, Jian Yiling actually wanted to drink coffee.

But she wasn’t too fussed. She didn’t want to refuse someone else’s kindness.

Qin Chuan had already ordered a milkshake for her. She didn’t want to change the order.

Qin Chuan looked at Jian Yiling with an amused and ashamed expression before he started to speak: “I can’t believe that I was your tutor for a month.”

“People are specialists in different fields,” Jian Yiling replied.

Qin Chuan smiled before he said, “You don’t need to comfort me. I will never be able to achieve your medical accomplishments.”

Following which, Qin Chuan continued to speak, “I would never have thought that you would be the one who is treating my mother.”

This was something that Qin Chuan would have never imagined.

“Mhmm.” Jian Yiling replied. Her response was rather direct and cold.

Just like when she was being tutored.

However, Qin Chuan had gotten used to such a response. As a result, he didn’t feel as though he was being treated coldly.

“The first reason for this meeting is to thank you in person.”

“You’re welcome.”

“The second reason is I want to ask you about that agreement.”

When Qin Chuan’s mother got admitted to the hospital, he had signed a very special agreement.

The agreement required Qin Chuan to give his word on something.

At that time, Qin Chuan was rather puzzled. Why would the Huiling Medical Research Institution want his word on something? He was only an ordinary university student.

However, back then, Qin Chuan didn’t think too much about the matter. He quickly signed the agreement. As long as he could save his mother, he was willing to give his word on anything.

It wasn’t until he found out that his mother’s doctors were Jian Yiling and Cheng Yi that he started to think more about the agreement.

As a result, he had started to ponder about the agreement again.

Why did Jian Yiling want his promise?

What did she want from him?

“I think highly of you.”

Of course, Jian Yiling couldn’t tell him the complete reason behind her request. She couldn’t tell him that she knew that he was going to be successful in the future. Furthermore, she couldn’t tell him that he was potentially going to be the arch-enemy of Zhai Yuncheng in the future.

In order for Zhai Yunsheng to not die in Qin Chuan’s hands, she had made a pre-emptive move. She had asked him for his word on something. Although it had no legal effect, it was still morally valid.

Qin Chuan started to laugh again, “Are you serious? At least for now, I’m just a poor youngster.”
