Chapter 949: Chapter 941: Resignation

"What kind of promise do we have between us? I’ve only met you a couple of times," Deng Fuguo said. At the time, he agreed with Liu Rui only because he was worried about his father’s health. To put it bluntly, it was just a stalling tactic. Moreover, getting his father released wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Even if he had the power to do so, he wasn’t willing to take the risk.

"Are you sure you won’t release my father?" Liu Rui asked finally, his face darkened.

"Of course. Your father isn’t someone who can be released just like that. He’s a national criminal. I don’t have that kind of authority," Deng Fuguo replied.

Liu Rui finally understood. He couldn’t count on this person anymore; he was just a big liar. He didn’t understand how he could so easily believe his words initially.

For the first time, he made such a grave error in such an important matter.

Xiao Yifei used to be busy saving lives and had endless patients every day. During his days of recuperation, although physically exhausted and lacking strength, his mind was clear. During the sleepless nights, he thought about many things. He had always said he would look for the Biwei Silver Needle, but it had been stalled for years with no progress.

A few months ago, he already had the idea of resigning, but he didn’t know what he was hesitating about, so he kept postponing it until now. After this incident, he decided not to delay it any further. Looking for the Biwei Silver Needle didn’t really conflict much with healing and saving lives.

He thought that if he spent the money he earned over the past few years wisely, it would be enough for him to live for ten years or more. No one knows what might happen after those ten years. However, the only thing he’s somewhat hesitant about is Tang Rong. To be honest, after being with her, his life didn’t change much. As a boyfriend, he didn’t fulfill many of his responsibilities. Instead, it was Tang Rong who accommodated and took care of him.

If he resigns now, it certainly wouldn’t benefit Tang Rong in any way. For the first time, he had the thought that he shouldn’t have gotten together with Tang Rong in the first place. If they hadn’t gotten together back then, he wouldn’t be so hesitant now! Actually, a big part of the reason he’s been dragging it out until now is because of Tang Rong. He hoped to provide her with a stable, happy life, and he didn’t want to disrupt the current peace.

But now, he had no choice but to choose this path. He had no idea what the future would hold, and he couldn’t let Tang Rong suffer along with him.

Since he had made up his mind, there was nothing to hesitate about.

He handed his resignation to the director. Although the director showed a reluctant expression, he said, "If you’ve made up your mind, then go for it. Our hospital doors are always open for you when you want to come back. I’m just not sure if I’ll still be here the next time you return!"

Xiao Yifei, who had been determined to leave, suddenly felt a strong attachment to everything he had now. Who knew what changes would occur here in a year or two? The flowers are similar every year, but the people change year after year. When he returns in the future, what would it be like?

"Director, why are you suddenly sounding so sentimental? I’ll come to visit you at home when I have time. We will definitely meet again." Xiao Yifei suppressed his melancholy emotions and revealed a bright smile to the director, saying this.

"Yes, you’re such a talented person, and your abilities shouldn’t be wasted in our little place," the director replied.

The director had lived long enough and had seen many doctors resign from the hospital. Besides, life is about constantly bidding farewell to the past, which everyone must experience. Thinking about this made him feel less distressed. If fate allows, they would surely meet again in the future.

Xiao Yifei didn’t explain in detail to the director what he planned to do next. He merely said he felt he still hadn’t mastered his skills and wanted to resign to study further.

The director, losing such a talented doctor, was definitely sad, even if he denied it. In reality, he’d been waiting for this day for a long time. Shortly after Xiao Yifei joined the hospital, he realized that Xiao Yifei wouldn’t be content to stay in such a small city forever. Back then, he even probed indirectly several times, and Xiao Yifei always said that being a doctor was the same no matter where he was.

But the same Xiao Yifei who had said such things eventually left. The director couldn’t resist the urge to take a cigarette from the inner side of a drawer and light it up. Although he had quit smoking for some time, today was special, and having one wouldn’t matter.

After packing up his things, Xiao Yifei left the hospital as usual. He stood at the hospital entrance and took one last look at the place he’d worked for several years. It was surprising how years had quietly passed by, and now he was saying goodbye, heading somewhere new, perhaps.

Xiao Yifei left quietly. He only told a few colleagues with whom he had a good relationship about his resignation, so many people didn’t realize he had left until a day or two after his departure.

In fact, this matter wasn’t a big deal for them. Xiao Yifei didn’t interact much with them, nor did he have any conflict of interest with them.

"I’ve resigned," Xiao Yifei said to Tang Rong after returning home. Tang Rong was watching TV on the sofa, and she replied without even lifting her head, as if those words held no more weight than "I’m home."

Currently, Xiao Yifei wasn’t in a good mood, so he didn’t notice how calmly eerie Tang Rong’s reaction was.

"Ah, what? You said you’ve resigned? Why?" Tang Rong suddenly stood up from the sofa and asked. She really hadn’t processed it earlier, merely hearing someone talking without noting the words.

"I’ve decided to resign and search for the Biwei Silver Needle. It can’t be delayed any longer," Xiao Yifei said evenly.

Even though usually a tough woman, Tang Rong noticed something was off about Xiao Yifei’s emotions. "Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted to do? But why do you look unhappy?" Tang Rong asked, hugging him. noveldrama

"Rongrong, I need to talk to you," Xiao Yifei gently moved her arms away and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"My resignation means there’ll be no income, and I don’t know where my future will be or how long this mission will take. Rongrong, do you understand what I’m saying?" Xiao Yifei looked into Tang Rong’s eyes and asked sincerely.

"So, what you’re saying is that this is the end for us?" Tang Rong said, tears welling in her eyes, though she held them back from falling.

Tang Rong thought, we have finally reached this step, proving that love alone between two people is not enough. She once believed she had found someone she could depend on for life, but now she saw too many insurmountable obstacles between them.

A few months ago, she realized something was wrong between them. There were no major arguments or irreconcilable conflicts; she just knew there was a problem. However, the past few months passed quite peacefully as Xiao Yifei spent limited time at home, making her once think she imagined the issues.
