Chapter 1431: Hidden Quest (Part 2)
Chen Cang understood that Qin Yue didn't want him to feel torn.
This girl was so considerate, always thinking about him in everything.
Even during difficult times, she never looked down on him.
By rights, Qin Yue's background was from a very good family, yet she never despised him.
While dating, she never let him buy luxury items; often, a hot pot meal or a cup of milk tea would make her happy for a long time.
Later on, when his conditions improved, Qin Yue never became extravagant.
After moving in together in Beijing, she tidied up the house when it got messy.
Even if he was busy with work, she never said he was too busy to spend time with her.
She was a girl who was not pretentious or fake but genuinely lived her life.
Always with a natural look, she kept Chen Cang well-organized, his clothes neat and tidy.
In their small two-bedroom apartment in the capital, Chen Cang's room was larger than Qin Yue's.
Moreover, the large wardrobe was neatly organized.
Clothes for meetings, trips abroad, business banquets, work outfits, disposable underwear for surgeries... and so on.
(During many surgeries, blood can penetrate the surgical gown and stain underwear, so many doctors either don't wear underwear or wear disposable ones during operations.)
Qin Yue was also very busy; she had her own pursuits and career but never let Chen Cang's life become casual.
Chen Cang clearly remembered how many times he'd come home to find a note on the table from Qin Yue.
"Food's in the pot, I'm in bed, waiting for you!"
This sentence embodied Qin Yue.
A warm, family-oriented girl, playful yet heartwarming, waiting for you says more than a thousand words.
Chen Cang pulled Qin Yue into his arms and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
With emotion, he said, "The greatest luck in my life is meeting you!"
"Honey, wait for me to come back and marry you!"
After saying this, Chen Cang got up and left.
Carrying a travel bag Qin Yue had prepared for him, it was packed with clothing, underwear, socks, identification documents, and some cash…
Sometimes, love doesn't need a thousand words, just small moments.
Qin Yue didn't see Chen Cang off.
She was afraid she might cry.
To be honest, whenever there was a meeting, Qin Yue could actually go with Chen Cang.
But...
She felt that her presence might disturb or influence Chen Cang.
She just needed to fulfill her role as a wife from the places Chen Cang couldn't consider.
Standing by the window in the family quarters of the provincial second hospital, Qin Yue watched Chen Cang leave downstairs.
Once Chen Cang was downstairs, he glanced back at Qin Yue, suddenly noticing her at the windowsill watching him.
In that moment of eye contact, Chen Cang suddenly smiled.
Qin Yue's eyes were somewhat blurry.
At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly shouted:
"Qin Yue! Wait for me to come back and marry you!"
"Hahaha..."
After saying this, Chen Cang turned and left.
Leaving Qin Yue at the windowsill breaking into laughter through her tears.
The elderly folks around glanced at this young man, as if seeing themselves in the past.
Being young is so nice!
Ji Ruyun had also taken leave for these days, hearing Chen Cang's shout, she looked over at Qin Yue with a smile.
"This windowsill was where your dad and I watched you return every day."
"Watching and watching, we ended up marrying you off."
As she spoke, Ji Ruyun's eyes also welled up.
Her daughter was about to get married.
Seeing this, Qin Yue wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and went over to comfort her: "Alright, Mom, why are you crying!"
"Didn't you and Dad say every day to quickly marry me off? Now it's great, your wish will come true."

When Chen Cang arrived at the capital airport, it was already past two in the afternoon.
He made a phone call to Xiao Runfang.
"Director Xiao, I've arrived."
Xiao Runfang was with Jia Zheng at the time and, upon hearing this, said to Jia Zheng: "Chen Cang has arrived, why not… invite him over?"
Jia Zheng nodded: "Hmm, let's meet him."
Xiao Runfang directly said: "Come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I'm over here, I'll have someone pick you up downstairs."
Chen Cang was taken aback: "Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang felt increasingly that this situation was somewhat mysterious, why was it connected to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Could it be… a rescue mission abroad?
At that moment, Chen Cang indeed felt a bit of anticipation.
As a member of the People's Republic of China, for the first time, Chen Cang felt a sense of mission.
Jia Zheng looked at Xiao Runfang with some curiosity: "Director Xiao, is this Chen Cang really as capable as you say?"
Xiao Runfang put down Chen Cang's file: "It's all written on paper, can this be false?"
"These international honors have all been earned in real terms."
"Honestly, I have a lot of confidence in Chen Cang!"
Jia Zheng nodded with some surprise: "I didn't expect our country to produce such a top-notch surgeon, standing at the world's top level, great! That's wonderful!"
"You don't realize, now in diplomacy, it's different from before, medical assistance is also an effective means!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Runfang's expression immediately turned stern, eyes fixated on Jia Zheng, she said righteously:
"Jia Zheng, don't even think about it, Chen Cang's value is enormous; improving our country's medical hygiene standards is vitally important."
"This situation is special, I recommended Chen Cang to go, avoid thinking about dangerous tasks for him."
Upon hearing Xiao Runfang speak seriously, Jia Zheng was momentarily stunned.
He smiled, "Alright! Rest assured, without guaranteed safety, I wouldn't dare!"
At this moment, Xiao Runfang suddenly said: "This was personally mentioned by Elder Li above; he values Chen Cang greatly and personally invited him for a meal in the Great Hall of the People last time."
"I'm not joking."
Jia Zheng, upon hearing Elder Li, was clearly stunned.
At this moment, Chen Cang called: "Director Xiao, I'm here!"
Xiao Runfang said to Jia Zheng: "He's arrived, have someone bring him up."
Jia Zheng nodded: "I'm increasingly curious about what kind of young man this is!"
Before long, Chen Cang was in the office.
He saw Xiao Runfang in the room, along with a man with straight brows.
"Hello, Director Xiao!"
Xiao Runfang nodded: "Professor Chen, this is Jia Zheng from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the rescue mission this time is under him."
Chen Cang nodded: "Hello!"
Jia Zheng shook hands with Chen Cang: "I've admired you for a long time, Professor Chen. Frankly, this time we must trouble Professor Chen."
Jia Zheng did not hide anything.
Xiao Runfang's words made Jia Zheng realize that Chen Cang was qualified to know these matters.
Even Elder Li had spoken, what could he say?
