Prosecutor vs. Minister: A Battle of Wits-Chapter 116 - 114: The First Time Seeing a Gastroscope, Everyone Would Laugh

Chapter 116: Chapter 114: The First Time Seeing a Gastroscope, Everyone Would Laugh

A few short words had a shocking impact on Bao Nan.

He widened his eyes, full of disbelief, his hand holding the chopsticks trembling violently.

Jiang Tong saw he didn’t speak and thought it was hopeless, so her gaze gradually dimmed.

"I know you already like someone else... but it’s okay, I can wait..."

After quite a while, she spoke slowly again, her tone full of struggle.

Bao Nan had successfully pulled her down from her pedestal.

In front of him, she could lose all her reserve.

Since Jiang Tong uttered the four words "I like you", Bao Nan’s heart hadn’t stopped pounding.

It wasn’t until now that he snapped back to reality, taking a deep breath.

The content just now was too explosive, his mind was buzzing.

So he clumsily picked up a piece of boiled beef not far from him.

He even forgot he couldn’t handle spicy food and stuffed it straight into his mouth.

After coming to his senses, he was just about to speak to Jiang Tong.

He was willing, he was more than willing, willing enough to want to jump off a building.

But before he could say anything, a burning pain began in his stomach.

His gastric ulcer flared up.

Since she was familiar with his condition from the hospital earlier, Jiang Tong was the first to react.

Seeing Bao Nan’s pale face, she jumped to her feet, "Bao Nan! Are you okay? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

Looking at her slightly parted red lips, Bao Nan moved his own lips, "I..."

But before he could say anything, he just fainted.

That’s right, he just fainted.

At the moment just before he fainted, Bao Nan wished he could slap himself to death.

Damn it!

Why did he pass out before finishing saying "I’m willing"?

...

Xiehe Hospital.

Jiang Tong sat despondently on a chair in front of the endoscopy room, resting her chin on her hands.

Xia Qiao’s call came in at an opportune time, and she pressed the answer button, her face full of fatigue.

"Hey, Jiang Tong! How did it go? Did Bao Nan agree?"

It was okay if she didn’t bring it up, but mentioning it made Jiang Tong angry.

"What else, it failed. To avoid me, he didn’t mind going to the hospital." Jiang Tong sniffed, her eyes starting to redden.

In her view, Bao Nan chose to eat that boiled beef to avoid her confession.

He would rather have a gastric ulcer than accept her confession.

Thinking like this, Jiang Tong’s mood was utterly terrible.

"Eh? What’s going on, how did it come to this? It shouldn’t be..."

"Why not? You expect too much from me, and I don’t even know if this counts as heartbreak..." Jiang Tong sighed, leaning on the chair’s armrest.

They hadn’t even dated.

This should only count as her one-sided, unrequited love, right?

Hearing her words, Xia Qiao’s angry voice rang out, "Damn Jiang Tong, don’t think like that! What heartbreak, where are you? Which hospital? I’ll come find you now!"

Jiang Tong had lost hope and didn’t care anymore.

"Xiehe Hospital, come over."

"Okay, just wait for me, and don’t do anything stupid!"

Xia Qiao quickly hung up, accompanied by the sound of putting on shoes, probably planning to head out to find her.

Just then, a doctor came out of the endoscopy room.

Jiang Tong hurriedly went up to him, "Doctor, how is he? He should be alright, right?"

The doctor held some paperwork, shaking his head.

"He’s fine, but it’s the first time I’ve seen someone smiling during an endoscopy."
