Feng Chengjin naturally also noticed Gu Zixuan’s appearance. Mo Tong’s deep eyes slightly narrowed, silent, without speaking. The atmosphere instantly seemed to congeal into awkwardness. Yu Wei similarly saw Feng Chengjin and raised an eyebrow, finally understanding who the Ferrari belonged to. Looking again at Gu Zixuan’s expression, Yu Wei suddenly found it amusing. She observed intently the subtle atmosphere between Feng Chengjin and Gu Zixuan, curled her lips, "Let’s eat here." Although Yu Wei had received gifts from Feng Chengjin twice and was considered familiar, a person with insight wouldn’t interrupt a blind date, especially not one of the opposite sex. So Yu Wei’s high heels clicked, and she walked straight over. Gu Zixuan pursed her lips, wanting to suggest another place, but Yu Wei had already chosen the nearest spot and sat down first. There was no choice, Gu Zixuan had to follow the teal floor tiles into the antique-style Chinese restaurant. The Fengxi Courtyard was tastefully decorated, as if dining amidst patches of green bamboo. Sipping fragrant tea, although Gu Zixuan knew that Feng Chengjin’s blind date had nothing to do with her, and she was aware of Feng Chengjin’s blind dates, she couldn’t help but frequently glance over. At the neighboring booth, Feng Chengjin was having a pleasant interaction with the woman in the purple dress. Gu Zixuan let her gaze follow the woman’s appearance for examination. Elegant, beautiful, with porcelain-like skin and warm Mo-colored eyes, well-matched with Feng Chengjin, a long neck and graceful posture, especially the way she unconsciously said "Thank you" to each server, all indicating a good upbringing. Looking further down. The light purple dress was also pretty, with a fringed hem and a starry gradient pattern at the chest, presumably custom-made, with a matching clutch embellished with diamond studs and dangling brick-like accessories. Yet, despite the woman’s more scholarly aura, surprisingly, she carried off the luxurious outfit effortlessly, appearing vivacious and serene, likely due to her inherent disposition. Finally, watching Feng Chengjin’s delightful conversation with her. "Is Miss Qi this happy?" "I am. I didn’t expect Mr. Feng to know I like pansies. Honestly, when they arrived yesterday, I was startled. Mr. Feng is quite thoughtful." Qi Shuya, recalling Li Zhi’s advice, tried her best to sound open and proactive. She spoke with ease and grace. But to Gu Zixuan, it felt like a sudden spill of vinegar inside, an unavoidable sourness gnawing at her very being. Well, she’s poised, noble, beautiful, quite the debutante. Setting down the teacup, she placed her arms lightly on the table, turned her head away, and stopped looking, though inexplicably, she found the tea taste strange and hard to swallow. Perhaps it went bad? Otherwise, why would it taste ? Gu Zixuan remained silent, while Yu Wei watched her with interest. Until the ordered dishes arrived. Picking up her chopsticks, Gu Zixuan ate slightly faster than usual, prompting Yu Wei to smile and glance over. Feng Chengjin and the young lady seemed to have been eating for a while, but on a blind date, the focus is more on conversing than eating, so the frequency of using chopsticks is low. Nevertheless, Feng Chengjin often took care of the young lady, serving her with communal chopsticks each time a dish was presented. "Miss Qi doesn’t seem picky with food?" "Not at all." Sipping the soup Feng Chengjin ladled for her, Qi Shuya smiled mildly, "Moreover, I have a good appetite and eat a lot." Do you really? Yu Wei couldn’t help but glance at Qi Shuya’s slender figure. Simultaneously, she noticed Gu Zixuan couldn’t help but look as well. It seemed Feng Chengjin’s intrigued and doubtful gaze had also fallen on Qi Shuya’s overly slender waist, causing Qi Shuya to smile and shake her head, a slight blush on her cheeks, "Why look at me like that?" "I don’t quite believe it." Feng Chengjin stated bluntly. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel⁂fire.net Qi Shuya pursed her lips and laughed until her eyes curved into crescents, "What’s not to believe? I’m slim simply because I can’t gain weight. It’s been since I was young, not due to dieting." Well, this raised the envy meter a little too high for Yu Wei, causing the once delicious dishes to taste like wax. Gu Zixuan’s ears twitched slightly, as she paused her chopsticks on a piece of sweet and sour ribs, then switched to some boiled baby bok choy. But within three seconds, after one bite, she didn’t even want to eat the bok choy, put it down, pushed the bowl away, turned aside in frustration, and lightly dabbed her lips with a napkin. The low mood seemed increasingly irritable, recalling how Feng Chengjin just told her yesterday not to dress this way, to stop tempting others. Gu Zixuan thought, how could this man be so... Today, it seemed like Feng Chengjin came out to flaunt his love, not even finishing his meal before asking Qi Shuya, "Do you have room for more food?" "Hmm?" Qi Shuya was momentarily stunned, uncertain of his intent, but nodded honestly, "Yes." "Alright then, let’s skip it. There’s a nice restaurant at Zhongzhi Exhibition, let’s try that." With that, Feng Chengjin picked up his suit jacket, draped it over his arm, and stood up. Qi Shuya seemed to face the situation without rejecting her interaction with Feng Chengjin, thinking that everything was fine. Therefore, she stood up with a smile, took a tissue to wipe the corner of her lips, folded it neatly, and placed it back onto the plate. Hung up her handbag, turned around. As their perfectly matched silhouettes walked out together, they almost caught the attention of everyone present. The love-struck young waiters couldn’t help but show a faint glimpse of envy. Such a perfect match! At the reception, Feng Chengjin made the transaction, swiped the card, and left. The swift action of pulling out money and the sight of the wallet full of black cards made everyone’s heart race, both men and women alike. Upon exiting, Feng Chengjin stepped aside to let Qi Shuya, whose dress was too long, walk first. When they reached the front of the elevator, he was the first to press the button for the lift. From rising to disappearing, Feng Chengjin never glanced at her once. Although Gu Zixuan knew that during blind dates, out of politeness, it’s best not to bring in complicated gender relationships, otherwise it makes the other party uncomfortable, which is impolite. But being so ignored is really a bit... Her heart felt sour and uncomfortable, not knowing where it came from, just unbearable sadness beyond words. After finishing the meal, when it came time to settle the bill. Seeing that she had to pay the bill herself, at this moment, Gu Zixuan truly felt like her heart was overturned by an array of emotions, bitterly uncomfortable from the depths of her heart to its very tip... On the other hand, in the Southern Fourth Hospital, in the associate professor’s chief physician’s office. Equally gloomy-faced, seething with rage, feeling extreme discomfort in his heart, to the point of wanting to clench his fist and punch, was Yu Yuanshen. Wearing a white suit and blue shirt, sitting with legs crossed, since stepping into the orthopedics department, he had caught the attention of countless nurses and female patients’ hearts. Although it wasn’t his first time at the hospital, every time he came, it triggered an outbreak of female hormones leading to accelerated heartbeats. Yu Yuanshen was very handsome, the type of warm-hearted guy who was irresistibly handsome. But no matter how handsome, it couldn’t mask the twisted anger on his face. The eyebrows arched tightly, never relaxed, lips cold as a surgical knife capable of cutting through flesh. Especially when looking at the things placed in front of him... Qiu Mingyan moved what files, patient records, printer, and other items from the desk, trying to make the desk appear more spacious, grander, with more style. Meanwhile, he took out white foam takeout boxes one by one from a plastic bag. Saying, "Ah, you say you’re busy all day, I’m busy all day too. But compared to our professions, I’m even busier, right? It’s really not that I don’t want to meet you after work. It’s just that I have three surgeries tonight, and I only have 1 hour to rest this noon, and since you have a good car, it’s only fitting for you to make a trip." Qiu Mingyan rambled on. Beside him, separating the chopsticks, curiously examining the various boxed meals, Feng Chengyue buried her head, chuckling audibly. Understanding that Feng Chengyue must have been summoned here temporarily too. Yu Yuanshen couldn’t be bothered to argue with Qiu Mingyan anymore, with cold lips, he said in a frigid tone: "You called me over last minute and ended up with three packed meals?" Qiu Mingyan was taken aback, curled his lips awkwardly laughing, "Hey, Yu is just about to assist me in the surgery later, I was afraid she wouldn’t have the stamina and might faint later, so I bought some for her." Yu Yuanshen pursed his lips further, "There are so many nurses performing surgery too, why didn’t you buy it for them as well?" Qiu Mingyan shook his head, "Those young girls have rotating shifts, they’re not as tired as us chief surgeons, aren’t they?" Yu Yuanshen: "Why don’t you just get tired until you die?" Qiu Mingyan: "The revolution is yet to succeed, comrades still need to strive! As a renowned doctor working on the frontline of life and death among the people, the country spent over 20 years and a fortune training me up, if I die, wouldn’t it be a huge loss for the country?" In a flash, Feng Chengyue couldn’t hold back anymore, turned her head laughing with tears. Yu Yuanshen’s face was alternating between bright and dark, the next moment, he really wanted to grab Qiu Mingyan’s head and press it firmly into the packed meal. Even coaxing him over under the pretense of showing Gu Zixuan’s medical records transferred from the United States, fooled him into a blind date, and ended up eating this! In an instant, Yu Yuanshen, who had never done something so tasteless before, almost cursed out loud. Blind date! Eating packed meals! Why don’t you break out the mineral water for us to drink instead? However, the next moment, not sure whether Qiu Mingyan really didn’t buy drinks or just forgot, he slapped his forehead, "Oh, I forgot to buy drinks, hold on, I’ll get some for you." After that, Qiu Mingyan walked towards the water dispenser, took out disposable cups, and leisurely started filling them with water. Yu Yuanshen, with arms crossed, had an expression frozen mid-air. Beside him, Feng Chengyue was already laughing with her shoulders shaking, wiping tears, yet couldn’t make a sound. In a flash, Yu Yuanshen was really about to go crazy, thinking about the instigator Feng Chengjin, he was really infuriated by his own insidious behavior and hiring someone even more disgusting to insult him. Furious enough to want to grab Qiu Mingyan’s surgical knife and kill.
