As Dr. Wen thought of Lin Hao, a charming smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
He then ignored what was happening outside and continued writing.
Where is Dr. Wen?
The dean's voice came from outside.
At this moment, Dr. Wen could no longer sit still, so he put down his pen and stood up.
"Dr. Wen, who is this—"
The dean's words were still lingering in the air when they were cut off by Lin Hao's gentle yet undeniable voice.
"Dr. Wen."
Wen Yourong looked up and met Lin Hao's smiling eyes, which made her heart skip a beat.
"Lin Hao?!"
The surprised voice was tinged with disbelief.
Out of the corner of his eye, he quickly glanced at the group of tycoons behind Lin Hao—people he usually only saw in the news, but who were now bowing slightly and looking respectful—and the woman with a powerful aura and stunning beauty…
This display of force added a touch of bewilderment and restraint to her newly raised smile.
Lin Hao took two steps forward. "Yes, it's me. I heard you say in your heart that you missed me, so I came."
His tone was calm and natural, as if he were stating a very simple fact, without the slightest boasting or frivolity.
"boom--!"
These words, like a drop of boiling oil thrown into water, instantly exploded silently among the surrounding crowd.
The nurses' eyes widened in surprise, and they covered their mouths tightly to keep from making a sound.
God!
Dr. Wen... and this important figure who even the hospital director bowed down to... actually have this kind of relationship?!
A tremendous shock and a burning passion for gossip ensued.
The dean and Zhou Zhengyong exchanged a quick glance. Although it was unclear what they were thinking, their smiles became even warmer, carrying a hint of elder's kindness.
Yao Rao stood half a step behind Lin Hao, her face still displaying a proper, almost perfect smile.
But those deep eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, their gaze falling on Wen Yourong's face with a hint of scrutiny.
Wen Yourong's cheeks flushed bright red instantly.
She never expected Lin Hao to say those words so bluntly in front of so many people!
She glanced somewhat flustered at the various important figures around her, their expressions varied, and then said in a low, embarrassed voice, "What...what nonsense are you talking about! There are so many people..."
But deep down, an overwhelming sense of surprise and sweetness spread uncontrollably, dispelling the initial awkwardness.
"I'm here to pick you up so you can move and maybe find a new job."
Lin Hao chuckled and explained, completely unconcerned about the stares around him, "If it weren't for you during the last practical assessment, I wouldn't be where I am today."
The hospital director immediately seized this opportunity and enthusiastically replied, "Oh my! So Dr. Wen is our hero Lin's benefactor! This is truly an honor for our hospital! Director Wang, shouldn't Dr. Wen be promoted?"
"Yeah!"
The HR director quickly echoed, his attitude as warm as if Wen Yourong were his long-lost daughter.
"No need, thank you for your guidance and care for Dr. Wen all this time. I came here today to take Dr. Wen to the elite training camp."
Lin Hao took out a few plant spirits and handed them to the dean and Zhou Zhengyong, saying, "I didn't expect to bother everyone with my personal matter. Please accept these plant spirits as my apology."
Zhou Zhengyong was a discerning person, and any lingering resentment he might have had vanished.
"Young people are so passionate! We'll need you, Uncle Zhou, to back us up and be there whenever we call!"
He shouted it out loud in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to say it aloud.
The dean initially thought the spirit of plants looked somewhat familiar, but after hearing the words "spirit of plants" from Lin Hao, he couldn't stop smiling after taking it.
Looking at Lin Hao's gentle yet firm gaze, and the "eagerness" of the surrounding leaders, Wen Yourong could only suppress the pounding emotions and doubts in her heart and nodded: "Then...then I'll go change my clothes."
After speaking, she lowered her head and walked quickly toward the locker room, feeling countless gazes behind her focused on her like searchlights, making her heart pound like a drum.
As Wen Yourong's somewhat hurried figure disappeared behind the changing room door, the atmosphere outside the emergency room subtly relaxed, but the sense of awe intensified.
All of this stems from the young man before us, Lin Hao, whose gentle smile commands respect from the senior members of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and councilors.
Chapter 24 Babata is so full from eating melons
The crimson fighter jet took off smoothly, and the outline of the Jiangnan base city rapidly shrank outside the porthole.
Lin Hao, Wen Yourong, and Yao Rao sat in comfortable chairs.
Wen Yourong changed into casual clothes and sat down next to Lin Hao. Still feeling a little unreal, she quietly looked around the cabin. Her gaze finally landed on the elegant and powerful woman opposite her, her heart filled with curiosity and a hint of barely perceptible tension.
"You Rong, please give a formal introduction."
Lin Hao's voice broke the brief silence, "This is the alluring councilor from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy headquarters, and also my... older sister."
Thinking that Yao Rao seemed to know almost everything about him, he carefully considered his words.
The title "sister" caused a barely perceptible curve to appear on her enchanting lips.
She extended her hand to Wen Yourong with a flawless smile, "Dr. Wen, hello. I've often heard Lin Hao mention you. Thank you for taking care of him during the practical assessment."
Her clear, cool voice was pleasant to the ear, and every word seemed to have been precisely calculated. It expressed gratitude while subtly drawing a line—implying that she knew more about Lin Hao's current situation.
Wen Yourong quickly reached out and shook hands with Yao Rao.
The alluring hand was cool and delicate, with just the right amount of pressure, but Wen Yourong felt as if she were holding a piece of warm yet indestructible jade. An invisible pressure made her subconsciously straighten her back.
"Hello, Ms. Elegant Councilor! You're too kind. That's just my job. Lin Hao is very brave and recovered quickly."
Her answer carried the professionalism typical of a doctor and a hint of caution when facing an important person.
Their eyes met briefly in the air.
Wen Yourong saw the complex light in Yao Rao's eyes.
Yao Rao clearly captured the pure concern and joy that Wen Yourong showed for Lin Hao in her eyes, as well as the natural awe and a hint of... wariness that she revealed when facing her.
"Dr. Wen is too modest. Lin Hao has enormous potential, and anyone who helps him in the early stages of his development deserves my attention."
She withdrew her hand, leaned back in her chair with a relaxed posture, and said in a calm but undeniably authoritative tone, "When Lin Hao came back to handle some personal matters, he thought of picking you up first, which shows how important Dr. Wen is to him."
Her words were impeccable, both praising Wen Yourong and reiterating the "private" nature of Lin Hao's trip and the initiative of Lin Hao's actions, thus subtly placing herself in a higher position.
Wen Yourong understood the deeper meaning in his words, and her heart tightened slightly.
She looked at Lin Hao beside her and found that the young man was gazing at the sea of clouds outside the porthole. His profile looked particularly handsome and calm in the soft light of the cabin, as if he was completely unaware of the silent undercurrent between the two women.
But Wen Yourong knew that he couldn't possibly have been unaware.
He simply chose this gentle approach, or rather, his current status and level mean he doesn't need to deliberately explain or reconcile anything; his very existence is the answer to everything.
Within Lin Hao's sea of consciousness.
Babata, who had been watching the show with his legs crossed, finally couldn't hold back any longer, his voice filled with mockery and resentment:
"Wow! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Lin Hao, this devil has truly seen something new! What's this called? 'Thunder in Silence' style flirting? Tsk tsk tsk!"
"I remember not long ago you were a 'hero saving the beauty' for your glamorous older sister, and you even scared me with the Golden Horned Beast crisis for her sake. And now the first thing you do is come to pick up your little lover for a reunion?"
"'I heard you say you missed me in your heart, so I came'? Hahaha! How could you say that! But it really worked! Look at the expressions of those onlookers, tsk tsk, their jaws almost dropped to the floor!"
"Now it gets even more exciting! Your alluring older sister...tsk tsk, she's got a real skill level! Every word is gratitude, every word is a warning! 'I often hear about her,' 'I came to pick you up right away,' 'I value her'...tsk tsk tsk, the amount of information is explosive! Is she asserting her dominance, or helping you out, kid? Or both? The clash between human females is truly fascinating!"
"Hey, Lin Hao, stop pretending to be so deep and brooding over the clouds! This devil is worried for you! How are you going to clean up this mess? Are you going to be all lovey-dovey, or... Hey! Don't block me! You bastard Lin Hao!"
Lin Hao's lips seemed to curve into a very faint, almost imperceptible smile, his gaze still fixed on the vast sea of clouds.
Inside the fighter jet, Wen Yourong tried her best to adapt to the new and stressful atmosphere, while Yao Rao maintained perfect poise, as if everything that had just happened was just an ordinary social interaction.
Only Babata, whose image was hidden inside Lin Hao's wristband, was still silently jumping up and down in complaint.
……
As soon as the fighter jets returned to the elite training camp, a middle-aged man was waiting on the tarmac.
"A seductive councilor."
The middle-aged man stepped forward respectfully.
"This is Director Li, the head of logistics at headquarters."
The alluring woman introduced, "Director Li, this is Dr. Wen Yourong. She is both Teacher Lin's benefactor and a friend. Could you please help arrange her housing and office? Dr. Wen will be working at our headquarters from now on."
After saying that, she turned to Lin Hao and said irritably, "I fell for your trick. This afternoon has been exhausting for me. I just want some peace and quiet. You take Dr. Wen around and show her around our martial arts school headquarters. I'm not going to keep you company..."
Lin Hao watched the alluring figure turn to leave, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her sleeve. "Sis, let's have dinner together later? I'll cook for you."
These words made Yao Rao raise an eyebrow. As she turned around, a mischievous smile flashed in her eyes. She leaned close to Lin Hao's ear and whispered, "You little rascal, do you want me to call the others over for you?"
"Oh?! It's alright then, sis, you go ahead and do your work. I'll come find you later..."
Lin Hao flinched as if he'd been electrocuted. Although he was also looking forward to this day, it was clearly not the right time yet.
The logistics supervisor watched blankly as the councilor hummed a tune and left, but soon greeted Lin Hao warmly, "Teacher Lin, Dr. Wen, please come with me."
"Thank you for your help, Director Li."
……
"The other few? No, Lin Hao, just how many female confidantes do you have?"
Babata's phantom in Lin Hao's sea of consciousness wore a gossipy expression. "So the Golden Horned Beast you mentioned wasn't really a lie, was it? I can't sense any tension from you at all?"
For the first time, she realized that many of her previous judgments were wrong!
For example, at first, I thought Lin Hao was a love-obsessed person, which might hinder his cultivation.
Now I have to admit I misjudged him—
A person truly obsessed with love couldn't possibly be so adept at it.
However, one thing remains unchanged: these Earth women are nothing but a burden to Lin Hao, and are completely meaningless!
Oh, it can provide her with a little bit of emotional value from being a bystander.
