Chapter 430 - Perfect Couple in Disguise

"What? You're in Beijing?" Kim Jung-yeon replied in disappointment.

She had just finished her flight and she was pushing her luggage that was covered in all sorts of stickers. Her sunglasses were on her brown hair. She wore a red windbreaker with a shirt that had blue crystal embedded on the collar, a green and round hat along with white leggings and brown boots that made her look youthful.

"I have something to do in Beijing. You can directly head to the Three Flavour Hall. Someone will help you settle down." Su Tao helplessly explained.

Although he had no idea why Kim Jung-yeon came over, he still had to act as the host since she has travelled such a long distance.

After tapping on her lips as she briefly pondered, Kim Jung-yeon shook her head. "No way, I'll head over to Beijing and look for you. My Visa will expire soon, and I can't stay here for long. But there are some pictures required for the fan club, and I have to look for you."

Helplessly sighing, Su Tao smiled. "Then, I'll send you my address!"

As Kim Jung-yeon acknowledged, she smiled. "We already have 3,000 core members for our fan club, and the next step is to expand the range of influence. Please believe me, since I will surely support you into an outstanding celebrity doctor!"

Su Tao sighed and was genuinely moved by Kim Jung-yeon's actions, which he could basically describe her as a brain-dead fan!

Truth be told, Su Tao felt a little elated, since many people in China chased after Korean celebrities, so it felt especially great that he could enjoy it the other way around!

After he finished with his call, Gu Rushan was waiting in the living room for a long time, which she grumbled when she looked at her watch. "It's getting late, and I've already checked the map. It's a dozen kilometers away from here, and according to the traffic here, it will be congested even if we take a cab."

Letting out a sigh, Su Tao weakly smiled. "Give me ten minutes to prepare, and we can head over!"

At this moment, Gu Rushan had no other choice other than to wait patiently. Hearing the water splashing in the bathroom, she started to feel baffled. she had gradually gotten closer with this new neighbor of hers, and it's so unlike her style.

Although so many people tried to woo her, they were all rejected by her. Perhaps it was due to Su Tao being young, and he didn't have any lethality.

To save time, the two of them flagged a cab. By the time they arrived at the said location, Ni Jingqiu and her boyfriend, Huo Kun, had always been waiting for quite some time.

When Huo Kun saw Su Tao, he was first stunned, since he did not expect that his savior would be so young, before smiling as he looked at Su Tao's medical box. "Welcome!"

Su Tao modestly smiled. "I initially did not want to leave my name behind and be a nameless hero, and I never expected to be discovered."

Finding Su Tao humorous, Ni Jingqiu smiled. "It's really a coincidence. I had some matters to do at the production team, and I never expected that your girlfriend would have an interview there."

Su Tao smiled as he looked at Gu Rushan, who maintained a calm expression. At this moment, he finally understood the reason why Gu Rushan wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend.

"Thank you, Big Sister Jingqiu, for your help. The production team has already called me and told me that I'm hired!" Gu Rushan smiled.

Glancing at her in admiration, Ni Jingqiu replied, "From the feedback that I got from the production team, your initial performance was excellent, so you've practically relied on your own ability."

"In any case, I still have to thank you!" Gu Rushan smiled, since she knew that if it wasn't for Ni Jingqiu's help, how could she possibly defeat that 'internet celebrity face' and obtain the role?

As Ni Jingqiu examined Gu Rushan, she asked, "Oh, right. I've looked into you, and you don't seem to have signed under any management company."

"There were some companies that contacted me, but I rejected them as the terms were too harsh, and I can't agree with their management style." Gu Rushan smiled as she tried to conceal the awkwardness.

Her words were half true as there were management companies that looked for her in the past, but those were to model at a car exhibit or wine reception. Although it was a fast route in earning money, she couldn't accept the concept of selling her youth.

One must know how to sell themselves high so that you can receive respect.

"Huo Kun, here's a chance for you!" Ni Jingqiu winked her eyes.

Huo Kun was briefly stunned before he examined Gu Rushan and found her to have a unique temperament. Despite looking ordinary, she was the kind that was lasting to the eyes. He had seen all sorts of women in his management company, but someone like Gu Rushan was unique. Thus, he smiled. "I do own a management company, and you can sign with me if you don't mind. I promise that you will be given the best treatment!"

Gu Rushan never expected that happiness would come so quickly. But just when she wanted to agree to it, Su Tao's voice resounded, "Regarding this matter, we still have to discuss it when we return."

When Gu Rushan looked at Su Tao with a complicated gaze and noticed the flicker in his eyes, she soon realised what was going on. She couldn't be too impulsive, since she still didn't know anything about Huo Kun and Ni Jingqiu.

It's not a trivial matter to sign a management company, since it wouldn't be easy for them to leave in the future.

Ni Jingqiu had already ordered the food, and despite Huo Kun appearing to be passionate, Su Tao could notice an indifference from him. After all, Huo Kun was unconscious when he saved him, and he had no idea how serious his condition was. Thus, Huo Kun did not regard him as important as Ni Jingqiu.

Huo Kun came from a wealthy family, and his excellent background told him that he must not forget a generous act. In his view, treating Su Tao to a meal and allowing Gu Rushan to soar into the sky was sufficient to repay for Su Tao's help in saving him back at the park.

However, he never expected that Su Tao would refuse his goodwill, which made him feel embarrassed. Hence, his unpleasant mood was also shown in his words.

Despite the sumptuous meal, the conversation in the room was a little cold, even with Ni Jingqiu's attempt to alleviate the atmosphere.

"Little Su, you're a physician, so you must know traditional medical techniques like acupuncture, bone-setting, and massage, right?" Huo Kun felt that Su Tao was young, so he was casual with his form of addressing.

Su Tao was considered a famous physician in Huainan, and even a Major General like Jin Guoxiang had to be courteous to him. As the savior of Huo Kun, Su Tao felt a little disappointed that he would be treated with such negligence.

But he wasn't a narrow-minded person, and he did not feel that the latter must feel deeply grateful for his help.

However, Huo Kun's tone made him feel uncomfortable. He noticed the doubts in Huo Kun's words if he only managed to save him with luck.

"I don't know a lot, so I'll not embarrass myself!" Su Tao briefly pondered and did not feel the need to bicker with Huo Kun.

But even so, Huo Kun did not let him off and smiled. "Seeing that you're with your medical box, there should be quite a few treasures, right? Why don't you show us a thing or two to widen our horizon?"

Although Ni Jingqiu felt that Huo Kun was a little rude, she still looked at Su Tao with curiosity. She wondered if he was really an expert like what the doctor said back then in the hospital.

Hence, she looked at Su Tao curiously and asked, "Why don't you look at me and see if there's anything wrong?"

Placing down his chopsticks, Su Tao examined Ni Jingqiu for a long while before he sighed, "You do have something wrong!"

Ni Jingqiu was initially joking around, but she never expected that Su Tao would really say that she's sick.

Thus, she locked her brows together in perplexion and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Taking out a piece of paper from his medical box, Su Tao wrote a few words on it before handing it over to Ni Jingqiu.

Looking at the paper, Ni Jingqiu's expression drastically changed, and her eyes were grave when she looked at Su Tao.

Seeing her grave expression, Huo Kun asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I was only joking with her." Su Tao explained on behalf of Ni Jingqiu.

However, Huo Kun knew that Ni Jingqiu and Su Tao must have some secrets, which he became curious about. But seeing that Su Tao wasn't willing to disclose it, he became even more unhappy with Su Tao.

When the meal came to an end, Huo Kun and Ni Jingqiu sent Su Tao and Gu Rushan off before a sneer of disdain rose on Huo Kun's lips as he turned to Ni Jingqiu. "I've accompanied them to a meal, as you've requested. Can I return to my company now?"

"Huo Kun, Su Tao is your savior, so why are you treating him in this manner?! Even if you're not grateful for him, you shouldn't be so rude to him!" Ni Jingqiu locked her brows together.

Seeing Ni Jingqiu angered, Huo Kun immediately smiled. "I'm sorry, darling. I only can't endure how he's putting on airs by wearing a robe and really considering himself to be a divine physician."

"Forget it! Consider that I've done something stupid, then!" Ni Jingqiu sighed. She was helpless by Huo Kun's attitude towards Su Tao. She initially thought that they could thank their savior, but she never expected that Huo Kun wasn't into it and ruined it all.

Looking at Huo Kun, Ni Jingqiu felt that her boyfriend was good at every factor except for the fact that his life had been too smooth, and he offended many people with how aloof he was.

If they hadn't grown up together and the inter-marriage between their families, Ni Jingqiu really would have had to reconsider if she had made the right choice in her partner.

But it was too late to regret as their marriage was already on the schedule, their newlywed house had also been renovated, and they've also sent invitations to their family and friends. Both their parents were influential figures, and this marriage could no longer be changed.

Despite being a powerful woman in the eyes of many, she was still like every other girl who vexed over their marriage.

Ni Jingqiu watched as Huo Kun entered his Porsche sports car and waved his hand in her direction before he left. After he left, she retrieved the paper that Su Tao gave her and her expression was unusual. She was full of admiration for Su Tao, since the latter managed to see through the hidden illness in her heart.

If he wasn't capable, how would he be able to make such an accurate diagnosis?

When she got in her Maserati, she did not start her vehicle, but took out her phone and typed Su Tao into the search engine. However, the result of her search left her shocked!
