Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

That afternoon, An Yiqing received an unexpected phone call.

"Miss An, I am Mike Stausauser. Hello."

Hearing the slightly aged and weak voice, An Yiqing was a bit surprised. She smiled warmly and said, "Mr. Stausauser, how is your health?"

"Not bad, thank you very much for your help, Miss An. The doctor said if it weren’t for your emergency aid, I might not have seen the next day’s sun. Miss An, you saved my life, I’m extremely grateful."

An Yiqing smiled faintly, "It was a small effort. I am a doctor, treating and saving people is my duty. Mr. Stausauser doesn’t need to take it to heart."

The old man gently breathed on the other end of the phone, seeming still very weak. He coughed a few times and said with some difficulty, "Miss An, my body is somewhat weak and I cannot talk for too long. I called you today to invite you to the hospital for a gathering, also to thank you for saving my life. Of course, the location is a bit unsuitable, but I can only meet you at the hospital for now. Miss An, is that alright?"

Stausauser’s polite and gentle attitude won An Yiqing’s favor. She thought for a moment and agreed, "Alright, that’s fine. Just let me know the time, sir, and I’ll drive there."

"No, no, Miss An. You are my benefactor and I should personally send a car to fetch you. If you’re free tomorrow, would tomorrow afternoon work?"

"Okay, tomorrow afternoon then."

Stausauser hung up the phone quite satisfied. An Yiqing put down her phone and squinted her eyes slightly. Saving someone the day before was just her duty as a doctor, and she hadn’t thought much about it. She didn’t expect Stausauser to call her personally to invite her. But now, given this opportunity, she decided to prepare thoroughly.

She summoned Zhang Yufeng and asked her to investigate the Stausauser Family’s information. Knowing oneself and one’s opponents is key to better interactions. At least, she was quite interested in the old gentleman, Mike.

The Stausauser Family, one of the world’s mysterious hidden aristocratic families. People say that members of this family possess special abilities, with some able to read minds and others able to turn stones into gold. Hence, they own such a massive industry that shakes the world. An Yiqing didn’t believe in their special abilities, but the foundation and strength of the Stausauser Family indeed left a lasting impression.

The Childersloo Family is a world-renowned hidden aristocratic family. It’s said this family controls the global economic lifeline. Whenever they make a move, the global economy trembles thrice. Some say the economic bubbles and financial crises in recent years were manipulated by the Childersloo Family behind the scenes. Although there hasn’t been any accurate account of these claims till now, everything points to the power of the Childersloo Family. But in front of the Stausauser Family, this highly esteemed hidden aristocratic family seems to lack some depth.

The Stausauser Family’s strength is unfathomable. The industries they cover and their control over power lack concrete data to this day. Yet everyone knows this family is omnipresent. In many aristocratic families worldwide, it is said that this family holds control behind the scenes. Some even claim they control many countries’ Royal Family lifelines!

In summary, An Yiqing saving the owner of such a powerful and mysterious family is definitely an ambiguous matter.

If Mike Stausauser is reasonable, maybe An Yiqing will gain substantial benefits. But if he is unreasonable, perhaps An Yiqing will face an unbelievably formidable enemy.

The next afternoon, An Yiqing boarded the Stausauser Family’s private car for the hospital. Many in the hotel witnessed her getting into a car marked with the Stausauser Family’s emblem and were left astonished, wide-eyed.

At Helen Hospital of Country Zi, An Yiqing rode through the main building, passing the inpatient ward, arriving at the villa area in the back. This area houses the hospital’s premium wards, each villa equipped with dedicated doctors and nurses for care. The conditions here rival that of a five-star hotel.

Alighting the car, a middle-aged man emerged from the villa and performed a noble salute.

"Dear Miss An, welcome. I am Neil, the current butler of the Stausauser Family. Mr. Mike is already waiting for you in the living room."

An Yiqing nodded and followed Neil into the villa. Standing at the entrance hall, she immediately spotted Mike Stausauser seated in a wheelchair.

"Miss An, welcome!" Mike weakly smiled and signaled the nurse to wheel him toward An Yiqing.

"Hello, Mr. Mike." An Yiqing faintly smiled, walked to Mike, and slightly nodded, "Thank you for your hospitality, I’m very honored."

Mike smiled, evidently having a favorable impression of An Yiqing.

"Neil, inform the kitchen to serve the meal. I would chat with Miss An over dinner."

"Yes, sir." Neil smiled and stepped back.

An Yiqing followed Mr. Mike to the dining room, a large round table graced the villa’s dining area. Such a design added a touch of warmth. An Yiqing sat on Mike’s right hand, her smile serene.

Mike discreetly observed An Yiqing and nodded inwardly.

"Miss An, allow me to express my gratitude to you in person once again. Thank you for saving me, Old Arthur will remember it forever." Mike said sincerely, bowing while seated in his wheelchair.

An Yiqing immediately organized his action, "Mr. Mike, I’ve received your thanks, I am very honored."

Mike chuckled, personally pouring An Yiqing a glass of juice, "Miss An, if you don’t mind, just call me Old Arthur. Arthur is the nickname given by my mother, which I really like."

An Yiqing thought about it, feeling that calling him Old Arthur seemed overly intimate, "You’re about my grandfather’s age. If you don’t mind, may I call you Grandpa Arthur?"

Mike laughed happily, seemingly very interested in An Yiqing’s address.

"Great, then I shall call you Xiao Qing. I’ve heard this is how your friends refer to you."

An Yiqing also laughed, the relationship between them took a step forward. At least for now, this Old Arthur appeared quite friendly. Of course, An Yiqing wasn’t optimistic enough to rashly acknowledge kinship. After all, being able to oversee such a colossal family, Mike Stausauser definitely wasn’t a simple man.

The chef served one delicacy after another, An Yiqing sniffed them, and found them quite satisfactory.

"Xiao Qing, please don’t stand on ceremony. Consider this meal as a gratitude feast. Once I’m discharged, I’ll definitely invite you to visit my home." Mike warmly entertained An Yiqing, who didn’t resist, slicing a small piece of steak and savoring it before nodding in approval.

"Not bad, this shouldn’t be hospital food."

Mike seemed to appreciate An Yiqing’s straightforwardness, smiling as he replied, "I specially called our family chef over, hearing all about Xiao Qing’s picky palate, being praised by you indeed proves his skill."
