After having tea in the Deputy Director’s office and discussing their next strategy, Su Yanxi and Yi Yao left the office together. They took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor and found a handsome figure in a white coat standing outside. They looked up at each other and their eyes met.
“Dr. Lu.” When Yi Yao saw that it was Lu Jingyan, she immediately stood up straight and greeted him with a smile.
Su Yanxi’s expression changed slightly. She stepped out of the elevator in her high heels and turned to Yi Yao, “Go and get the medicine!”
“Alright,” Yi Yao smiled and ran towards the pharmacy.
Lu Jingyan looked at her and asked coldly, “What medicine?”
“My eyes have been feeling rather uncomfortable for the past few days, so I asked Deputy Director Chen for a bottle of eye drops,” Su Yanxi answered casually. They stood half a meter away from each other.
The beautiful figure that was walking over from the registration area suddenly stopped. When she saw this scene, she smiled and raised her eyebrows. She took out her phone from her bag and took a photo. Then, she walked over to them in small steps and even placed her hands behind her back playfully, “Yo! What are you doing in public! Are you flirting with each other?”
Both of them turned to look at Su Yanxi in shock, “Yanyan?”
“Hi! Long time no see.” She smiled and tilted her head to greet them. Then, she specially looked at Lu Jingyan. “Dr. Lu, this time, you won’t say that you don’t know me, right?! If you still don’t know me, then you’ve really gone overboard!”
“Yes.” Lu Jingyan pursed his lips and spoke in a neutral tone.
“Hehe! That’s more like it.”
.Just as she finished speaking, Su Yanxi turned her around and asked, “Why did you come to the hospital again? You haven’t recovered from your cold the last time?”
“What do you mean ‘again’? I’m here to get medicine for my mom today.” Lian Qingyan pouted and glared at her unhappily. Then, she suddenly smiled cunningly, her gaze darting between her and Lu Jingyan, “Then, why are you in the hospital? Hmm? Don’t tell me you’re here to find Dr. Lu! Tsk tsk!”
Seeing the word ‘gossip’ flashing in Lian Qingyan’s eyes, Su Yanxi was speechless. Just as she was about to reply, a crisp ringtone suddenly interrupted her. She glanced sideways and saw that the man had already picked up the call. He said ‘okay’ and hung up. He looked at the two of them, “I still have something on. You two can chat.”
“Okay.”
Lian Qingyan smiled and nodded. Just as Lu Jingyan was about to leave, she suddenly added, “Dr. Lu, are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together! Yanxi, too!”
When Su Yanxi heard this, she looked at Lian Qingyan, who was smiling even more brightly as her eyes were filled with question marks.
Lu Jingyan stood still and glanced at the incredulous Su Yanxi. He narrowed his eyes slightly and replied calmly, “Alright, 6:30pm.”
“Alright, we’ll call each other then. You should have Yanxi’s number, right?”
“Mm-hmm.” Lu Jingyan made a simple grunt before entering the elevator. When he pressed the floor button, his cold gaze landed on the familiar face that was still filled with surprise and doubt.
“See you tonight, Dr. Lu!” Lian Qingyan waved at him happily and nudged Su Yanxi with her elbow.
Su Yanxi pursed her lips into a straight line and glanced over when the elevator was about to close, catching the coldness in the man’s eyes.
“Yanyan, what are you doing?” Su Yanxi asked Lian Qingyan with furrowed brows after the elevator ascended.
“I’m creating another chance for you, understand? I can’t bear to watch you and Lu Jingyan’s ‘widowed’ kind of marriage anymore. Why don’t you two just try to work on it?! There might be an unexpected outcome!” Lian Qingyan placed a hand on Su Yanxi’s shoulder and persuaded her earnestly.
