The group got into the car and headed for Tianhui Clinic.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the clinic entrance.

Though it was called a clinic, rows of luxurious buildings could be seen beyond the gates.

Its scale was several times more impressive than that of a major hospital.

As soon as they entered, a young nurse came forward to warmly receive them.

After the nurse led them inside, the doctors immediately arrived.

There was no need to wait at all.

Wang Haoran had already explained the general situation on the way there.

After several internationally renowned doctors learned about Xu Zheng's condition, they immediately took him for examinations.

Xu Muyan, Lawyer An, and Wang Haoran waited in a private VIP lounge.

The lounge had soft, luxurious sofas, a television, computers, and various entertainment facilities to pass the time.

The young nurse who had received them gently asked the three what tea or drinks they would like.

The service was exceptionally attentive.

However, Xu Muyan and Lawyer An had no mood to appreciate it.

After the two waited anxiously for more than ten minutes, one of the doctors who had taken Xu Zheng for his examination came over.

The doctor held a CT scan in his hand.

A needle-shaped metal object could be seen in Xu Zheng's lower abdomen on the scan.

This was the culprit behind Xu Zheng's pain.

Xu Muyan and Lawyer An were both terrified at the sight.

The doctor said, "This metal object has already begun to shift. It could cause fatal damage to his internal organs. Fortunately, you came in time. If you had been a day later, no one knows what might have happened. After discussing it together, we doctors recommend immediate surgery, so we came to ask for the opinions of the two family members."

"Surgery. The sooner, the better," Xu Muyan blurted out, too worried about her father.

Lawyer An thought the same way, but she considered one more issue than her daughter. "Doctor, may I ask roughly how much the medical expenses will be?"

Xu Muyan froze for a moment at that.

She was still in school and did not have much concept of money.

Hearing her mother ask that, her heart immediately tightened.

She had looked into it before. The costs here were frighteningly expensive.

The doctor was about to answer, but Wang Haoran spoke first.

"Aunt An, Xu Muyan, you don't need to worry about the medical expenses. My family has an annual membership here. During its validity period, all treatment and examination fees at the clinic are fully waived. Uncle Xu won't need to pay anything."

The annual membership cost several million a year. It was said to be free, but in reality, everything had already been paid for.

If no one got sick over the course of a year and only came in for regular checkups, the clinic would make a huge profit.

Of course, the wealthy people who bought annual memberships would not think they had lost out either. After all, they had peace of mind regarding their health, and money was not an issue for them.

If they ever developed a serious illness or faced a crisis, the annual membership would prove immensely useful.

With just one phone call, once the patient was brought to the clinic, there would be no waiting at all. Doctors from the clinic would immediately come to consult.

If there was an emergency and they could not make it there, two helicopters were also stationed on the rooftop helipad of one of the clinic buildings.

This annual membership was essentially insurance that the wealthy bought for themselves.

"Is that so? Still, I should know how much it costs. I need to pay you back," Lawyer An said.

"Aunt An, the annual membership covers five people. There are only three people in my family, so we still have two unused spots. They used to go to waste, but now Uncle Xu can use one." Wang Haoran said, "So really, you don't need to give me any money!"

"Since that's the case, thank you, Haoran." After hearing this, Lawyer An stopped hesitating and agreed readily.

But she firmly remembered this favor in her heart.

"Thank you." Xu Muyan looked into Wang Haoran's eyes and spoke sincerely.

"Come on, with the kind of relationship we have, you're still thanking me?" Wang Haoran smiled at Xu Muyan.

That smile was bright and sunny. Paired with those Peach Blossom Eyes and his handsome face, few girls could look at him without feeling their hearts stir.

Xu Muyan heard it sweetly in her ears and felt it sweetly in her heart. She met Wang Haoran's gaze for several seconds before quickly looking away with a blush.

Ding! One of the Female Leads, Xu Muyan's affection for the host has increased by 10. Current total affection: 70 (Unwavering Affection)

Ding! The host has greatly influenced the course of the plot, gaining 800 Villain Points. Chu Bai's Protagonist Halo -30, host's Villain Halo +30!

After receiving the system notifications, Wang Haoran was secretly overjoyed.

He had gained 800 Villain Points and 30 Villain Halo points in one go. This reward was incredibly generous.

More importantly, Xu Muyan's affection for him had made a qualitative leap.

Unwavering Affection.

At this level, even if Wang Haoran did something a little excessive, Xu Muyan would not change her heart toward him.

Off to the side.

Lawyer An took in her daughter's reaction and could not help spacing out for a moment.

There was clearly something off about that look in her daughter's eyes.

And Wang Haoran's words, "Come on, with the kind of relationship we have, you're still thanking me?" made it even easier for people to imagine things.

The key was that her daughter had not said anything to deny it.

Could it be... Lawyer An had her suspicions, but she quickly accepted it.

Her daughter was no longer a child.

Young people's affairs should be handled by young people themselves.

And most importantly, Wang Haoran truly was outstanding.

If her daughter could be with such an excellent boy, it would be her good fortune.

After all, judging from their family backgrounds, her daughter was reaching above her station.

"I'll go check on your father." Lawyer An could not be bothered to act as a light bulb anymore, so she directly left with the doctor.

Soon, only Wang Haoran and Xu Muyan remained in the lounge.

"What nonsense were you just saying? You made my mom misunderstand." Xu Muyan shot Wang Haoran a sidelong glance and spoke with a hint of coquettish complaint.

"I didn't say anything. I only meant that we've been classmates for so long, and for such a small favor, you don't need to thank me." Wang Haoran played dumb, looking utterly innocent.

Upon hearing that, a trace of disappointment appeared on Xu Muyan's face.

So he only thinks of me as a classmate. Xu Muyan did not want Wang Haoran to notice, so she tried her best to control her emotions. She quickly forced a smile and said, "Hey, didn't you say you liked the School Belle from another class at our school? Do you like Qin Yunhan or Mu Zhaozhao?"

Though it sounded half-joking, she had actually wanted to ask this for a long time.

She simply had never found a suitable opportunity.

Qin Yunhan and Mu Zhaozhao were the names of the other two School Belles at their school.

Although Xu Muyan was not familiar with them, she knew who they were and had seen them many times.

She had simply never interacted with them.

Wang Haoran recalled what those School Belles looked like from his memories and could not help commenting, "Qin Yunhan's looks are off the charts, and she has a great temperament too. She's taller, but her chest is just a little flat."

"Mu Zhaozhao has a baby face and is quite cute. Her figure is absolutely explosive, those curves are ridiculously exaggerated, but she's shorter than Qin Yunhan."

After thinking it over, he put on a troubled expression. "They each have their own strengths. If I had to pursue one of them, it would really be a difficult choice."
