Seeing Ling Kexin disappear from his sight, Xi Jichen retracted his gaze. His charming amorous eyes were dyed with a wanton smile. “Tsk! Yan, your luck with women is getting better and better. Even your hospital belle has fallen to your white coat.”
Lu Jingyan glanced at him indifferently and did not reply. After signing his name on the list on the table, he walked past him.
Xi Jichen raised his brows and shrugged nonchalantly. He was used to Lu Jingyan’s personality and leisurely followed him. Before they reached the elevator, he purposely bumped his shoulder, “You were on night shift yesterday?”
“I switched my shift.” The elevator slowly opened with a ding. Lu Jingyan said these words lightly and entered the elevator.
Xi Jichen quickly caught up with her and a look of surprise appeared on his handsome face. “Switched shifts? Then why wasn’t there anyone when I went to the apartment to look for you yesterday?”
“Why are you looking for me?”
“To drink, of course!”
Lu Jingyan glanced at him again and retracted his gaze expressionlessly, “In the 21st century, there’s something called a phone.”
“Tsk, I was going to call you, but before I did, I received a call from my old man and got lectured.” Xi Jichen pursed his lips nonchalantly.
“By the way, where did you go last night? It’s rare to see you out on a break. Don’t you usually stay at home to rot?” Xi Jichen leaned against the elevator wall and suddenly changed the topic.
“I moved back to the riverside villa.”
The elevator opened and Lu Jingyan walked out. Xi Jichen felt like he was hallucinating. He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that there was no one beside him. He immediately followed him out and walked in front of him in surprise, “What? What did you just say? Did I hear wrongly? You moved back to… the riverside villa?” He realized that his voice was too loud as he spoke. He looked around and deliberately lowered his voice.
Lu Jingyan was still calm even after he saw how agitated Xi Jichen was. He walked past him and replied, “Mmm.”
“What’s going on? Why did you move back all of a sudden? Could it be another order from your grandfather?” Xi Jichen shook his head as he spoke, his tone filled with regret.
Lu Jingyan threw him a cold glance and got into the car in the parking lot. He was too lazy to continue discussing this question with him, so he casually asked, “Has your engagement crisis been resolved?”
“No.” When he said this, Xi Jichen’s handsome face fell. His eyes became more serious and his brows were tightly knitted.
Lu Jingyan suddenly chuckled, “Looks like you’re going to fall this time, Young Master Xi. I think you’ll have to change your declaration of not getting married.”
“Don’t change the topic. Tell me what’s going on with you. I simply made a trip to Italy and you moved back to the riverside villa. I don’t usually see you going to the riverside villa. Why? You suddenly found out about Su Yanxi’s good side and want to develop a relationship with her?” Xi Jichen waved his hand impatiently and changed the topic to Lu Jingyan again.
“It’s not impossible either.” Lu Jingyan started the car calmly and drove into the driveway. His expression remained calm.
However, Xi Jichen, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly froze. He felt like he was hallucinating, “You… really intend to develop a relationship with Su Yanxi? Are you sick or am I sick? I’m already hallucinating.”
“I’ll prescribe some medicine for you to take later. Perhaps, you can still be saved.” Lu Jingyan looked straight ahead and continued coldly.
“Get lost.” Xi Jichen almost kicked him when he heard Lu Jingyan’s words.
