âDonât spout nonsense.â Cui Ying said.
âYouâre strong and healthy now, so it feels good to be alone. But when youâre old and donât even have anyone to serve you medicine, itâll be too late to regret things.â
âBy the way, wasnât there a man who asked for your phone number just now? I think that young man is not bad. Donât you want to consider it?â
âIf you hadnât mentioned it, I would have forgotten about him.â Cui Ying said.
âHis family is quite wealthy. The pharmaceutical company that Director Chen just commended earlier is owned by their family. They are one of the top 100 richest tycoons in Huaxia.â
âHeâs called Chen Rui. Heâs about the same age as us.â Cao Nan said.
âThe only pity is that heâs not very handsome. His family background is quite good, but in terms of looks, he doesnât match our Chuhan.â
âWhatâs the use of good looks? Itâs fine as long as you have money. In this society, you canât ignore material goods.â Cui Ying said.
âBesides, heâs already taken the initiative to pursue you. If you give him even a slightly positive response, youâll probably be good to go. You wonât have to hold a scalpel in the future. Your life will be smooth-sailing from then on.â
âDonât even mention that. Iâve been performing at least two surgeries a day for the past half a month. I feel like my endocrine system is out of whack. My menopause might even be brought forward, â Cao Nan said.
âThatâs why, when you meet someone good now, you should go all out. Donât follow the foreign trend of not getting married or choosing to be childfree. Find a good person to marry soon, and Iâll give you a generous dowry.â
âYouâre right. Youâve already gifted me over ten thousand yuan for my marriage gift. So, you should give me a chance to return the gift.â
Li Chuhan was just about to reject their good intentions when Lin Yiâs figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
âOkay, Iâll keep that in mind.â
âHey, hey, hey, donât leave yet. That young man is here.â Cao Nan pointed behind Li Chuhan.
Li Chuhan and Cui Ying subconsciously turned around and saw Chen Rui smiling as he walked towards them.
âF*ck, heâs here!â Cui Ying said excitedly.
âChuhan, I feel like your spring is here again. Heâs going to come again and again. Youâre going to be pursued relentlessly! â
âDonât talk nonsense. I have no feelings for him.â
âHis father is a billionaire. Donât you feel anything at all?â Cui Ying said. âWhy? Donât tell me you think heâs not good-looking?â
âI think he looks alright. He looks quite dashing in this suit.â Cao Nan said.
âStop fussing around and give it a try. If he asks you out for dinner, give him a chance.â
âDirector Li, the meeting is over. Do you want to have dinner together tonight?
Iâve already reserved a table,â Chen Rui said with a smile.
Cao Nan and Cui Ying were a little excited.
They felt that tonight might hold some possibilities, as the other party was doing a subtle mating dance.
Hence, they decided to give Li Chuhan an opportunity to check this guy out.
âIâm really sorry. Iâm eating with my two friends tonight. Weâll be eating together.â
âI donât have time tonight. Iâm going to watch a movie with my husband,â Cao Nan said.
âI donât have time tonight. I have to go back to my mother-in-lawâs house for dinner with my husband, â Cui Ying said.
Li Chuhan glanced at the two of them.
âDidnât we agree to have dinner together just now? What suddenly changed?â âYou can never predict these things, right?â Cui Ying said with a smile.
âItâs alright, weâre all friends anyway. Why donât we all have dinner together? It will be lively with more people,â Chen Rui suggested.
âIâm not sure if thatâs a good idea. Weâll just be third wheels.â
âItâs no big deal. Youâre all top surgeons in Huaxia. If we sit down and have a chat together, there might be a possibility of future cooperation.â
âIf you donât mind, neither do we.â Cao Nan looked at Li Chuhan and said.
âLetâs go. Donât be shy.â
âWhy donât you guys go together? I wonât be joining.â Li Chuhan said.
âI still have to note down the contents of the meeting and submit it. Thereâs quite a lot of work on my plate.â
Cui Ying pulled Li Chuhan aside and whispered,
âThe person they want to invite is you, and weâre just supporting you. If you donât go, whatâs the point?â
Li Chuhan shook her head and said in a low voice, âJust forget those thoughts. Heâs not my type. Itâs impossible for anything to happen between us.â
âYouâre just too stubborn. Whatâs wrong with him? It should be easy for him to woo you.â
Li Chuhan still shook her head with a smile. Lin Yiâs figure appeared in her mind again, and she smiled.
âNo matter what, nothing will happen between the two of us. Save it.â
After saying that, Li Chuhan looked at Chen Rui.
âIâm really sorry. I still have something on tonight, so Iâll excuse myself first.â
âPreviously, you said that you were alright. Why did something suddenly happen?â Chen Rui said awkwardly, âI just wanted to ask you out for a meal. I donât have any other intentions.â
Li Chuhan was a straightforward person and did not hide many tricks up her sleeve.
Lying was difficult for her.
âShe already asked me out for dinner, so unfortunately you wonât get a chance tonight.â
Hearing the voice, Li Chuhan found it abnormally familiar.
She suddenly turned around and saw Lin Yi standing behind her.
Her expressionless face turned from calm to shocked.
It was precisely in that moment, like the night sky illuminated by a multitude of stars, that a smile untainted by any impurity blossomed. It truly radiated beauty from deep within.
Lin Yi put his arm around Li Chuhanâs shoulder. âSheâs already mine. Youâre late. Stayin your lane.â
âDirector Li, thisâ¦â Chen Rui probed.
âHe, heâs my boyfriendâ¦â Li Chuhan hesitated for a long time before saying the word âboyfriendâ.
Cao Nan and Cui Ying widened their eyes in shock.
To be able to make Li Chuhan say such words, it meant that their relationship must be very close.
Moreover, this man was handsome, just like a movie star. He was definitely good enough for Chuhan.
However, in terms of wealth, he should be inferior to Chen Rui.
âChuhan is really something. She secretly got to know a handsome guy behind our backs. To think I was worried about your future,â Cao Nan said with a smile.
Li Chuhan lowered her head in embarrassment and did not answer directly. This could be considered a tacit agreement.
Chen Ruiâs expression was awkward. He simply nodded before turning around to leave.
However, his expression was not very good.
âLetâs go, itâs about time for dinner, so letâs go find a place to eat,â Lin Yi said.
âThen the two of us wonât stand on ceremony with you. The last time she visited Yanjing, I was the one who treated her. This time, we will need you to pay us back,â Cui Ying teased.
âI donât come to Yanjing often. You guys can choose the place.â Lin Vi smiled.
âI know a new hotpot restaurant. It seems pretty good. Shall we try it?â Cui Ying said.
âLetâs go.â
The four of them walked out of Yan Universityâs auditorium and got into Chen Yanâs AA.
âDid you drive here?â Li Chuhan asked. âThis is someone elseâs car. I borrowed it..â
