My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1124 - 1125: This Doctor is Too Young

"Mema doesn’t have the machine?" Gu Ming deliberately picked a flaw.

Chu Xi glanced at him with seductive eyes, lifted her perfectly curved chin, and slightly smiled, skillfully turning the tables, "Mema does have it, but to use it, one needs to write an application report. She is naturally averse to hassle, especially in medical research where she prefers to work alone without collaborating with other experts. So upon finding out that Rui City also had the same equipment, she came running here. Assistant Gu, does this explanation satisfy you?"

Gu Ming was at a loss for words and turned his gaze away, stiffly saying, "Miss Chu loves to joke too much. I am not in a position to be satisfied or dissatisfied, I was just curious and asked."

Chu Xi made a sound in acknowledgment, chuckled, and said, "Assistant Gu has been looking at me strangely since I got into the car today, I thought I had offended you somehow. Seems I was overthinking it."

Now, Gu Ming was truly speechless, struggling to escape the awkwardness. He stiffly maintained a formal demeanor, "Miss Chu is overthinking it. I haven’t had much interaction with you, how could you have offended me?"

"That’s good then." Chu Xi smiled slightly, her words carrying a hidden sting, "If I have offended Assistant Gu in any way, you need not be polite with me."

"Not at all." Even though Gu Ming felt uncomfortable, he still had to superficially smooth things over, not daring to openly confront her anymore.

Their back-and-forth had brought them inside a small villa.

The door was wide open.

The interior’s decorative style lacked a homely feel, simply consisting of marble floor tiles and various neatly arranged medical research equipment.

There was also a mahogany desk and two huge bookshelves in the room, packed with files and books. Untidily stacked on the desk was a large pile of similarly flipped-out leather files. A woman in a white lab coat was bent over them, writing something with a fountain pen. Beside her, an opened laptop was placed, indicating her busyness.

Probably sensing their arrival, the busy person looked up, her attitude unfriendly, "Who are you?"

"Doctor Susan, it’s me, Chu Xi, I just called you."

She recognized Chu Xi, pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, put down her pen, and leaned back in her chair reluctantly, removing her glasses to reveal a delicate and gentle face, "Oh, it’s you. Did you bring the patient you mentioned? Which one of them?"

Upon seeing the young-looking foreign woman in front of him, no older than her early twenties, Gu Ming could not hide his skeptical expression, pulling Li Shengxiao to the side, and whispered, "Mr. Li, isn’t this doctor a bit too young?"

It wasn’t that he thought older doctors were necessarily better, but in the medical profession, being older usually meant more experience. Not everyone was like Mr. Cui, who not only had an immense natural gift in medicine but also came from a family with generations of medical practitioners. While other medical students were still interning in big hospitals, he had already started learning from top global doctors due to his family connections and began dealing with various patients within his family’s hospital system.

A common doctor barely in her early twenties would have just graduated, perhaps with a somewhat unique experience, but unlikely to match the capabilities of more seasoned physicians in clinical practice.

Gu Ming wondered what had possessed Mr. Li to follow Miss Chu here and consult such a young doctor.
