The Straight-Shooting Queen’s Doctor Boyfriend

【Tomato Novel’s sweetest romance: the blunt-talking queen meets the master of calculated flirtation】 Lin Xiaoman is a midwife at the No. 1 City Hospital, nicknamed the “Queen of Bluntness.” She can tie a stitch in a second and shut down a colleague on the spot. Her life motto: Don’t beat around the bush, and there’s no waiting list to date me. Then Gu Yanchen, the “shining star of surgery,” arrives in her department: Pale skin, killer collarbones, and a scalpel faster than a cheat code. Cool and abstinent around everyone else, he turns into a scheming hound around her... The first time they meet: He crouches behind her to “secretly learn” how to suture. She turns around and says: “Buddy, look all you want, but don’t get any funny ideas about my butt.” The second time they meet: Her wisdom tooth is inflamed, and she’s crying from the pain. He hands her a scalpel: “Let me pull it. I need to practice local anesthesia.” She sprays blood all over him. “Want to practice? Sign a death waiver first!” The third time they meet: He invites her to a candlelit French dinner. She uses his meal card to order sweet-and-sour pork in the cafeteria: “Dr. Gu, top up your balance before you chase someone. The cafeteria accepts WeChat Pay.” Later...

When she faces a violent patient during a night shift, he livestreams a remote “rescue,” and the comments flood in: This guy’s using a scalpel as Cupid’s arrow. On their first night living together: He sleeps on the sofa, as proper as a hospital patient. She throws back the covers. “Gu Yanchen, where’s that ruthless streak you have in the operating room?” His ears turn red. “I’m afraid if I get too ruthless, you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow.” After they marry: When she unexpectedly gets pregnant, he transfers straight to the outpatient department: “I’ll protect my wife. Anyone who puts her on the night shift again will have to get past my scalpel first.” The whole hospital knows
