Ming Jiayi looked at Zhang Dao and Yu Jianyan with some embarrassment.

How should I answer this?

Yu Jianyan understood Ming Jiayi's pleading look. He pursed his lips and looked at the nurse, asking indifferently, "Why are you asking so many questions?"

The nurse's name was Bi Tingran, and she was the head nurse of the cardiac surgery department.

She and Yu Jianyan graduated from the same school; Yu Jianyan was her senior, and she was two grades below him.

They used to be a couple.

As for why they broke up later...

According to them, they were both young and naive at the time, and were deceived by each other's good appearance. After discovering each other's true colors, they resolutely chose to say goodbye.

Bi Tingran rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Then why do you care so much?"

Zhang Dao took out a tissue, then broke it in half and stuffed it into his ear.

Based on his past experience, once these two start arguing, they will argue endlessly until patients gather around to watch their spectacle, at which point they might stop; otherwise, no amount of persuasion will work.

Ming Jiayi looked at Zhang Dao with confusion, not understanding why he was stuffing tissues into her mouth.

But a few minutes later, she understood...

Yu Jianyan stood in front of Bi Tingran, holding a folder and pointing at her. Then, he said to her in a fierce tone,

"I must have been blind to have fallen for a shrew like you. You'd better go on more blind dates, or you'll never get married even when you're seventy or eighty."

Bi Tingran raised her hand, intending to knock the folder from Yu Jianyan's hand, but Yu Jianyan dodged it. So she could only cross her arms and angrily curse back.

"Come on, my marriage is none of your business, you old man's concern. You should worry about yourself, look at yourself, tsk tsk~"

"How do I look like a bear? You look like a tiger! What kind of tiger? A tigress!"

"Do you even know what kind of bear you are? A big bear! The kind that in games only shouts 'Play it safe and don't be reckless!'"

"Yes, yes, you think you're so capable, so good at showing off on 4399."

Bi Tingran was furious. She picked up a stack of A4 papers from the table and chased after Yu Jianyan, hitting him from behind.

Yu Jianyan hid behind Zhang Dao's chair, shouting in fear, "You hit me every time you can't win an argument! Can't you do something a girl should do?"

Bi Tingran ran over and forcibly pulled Yu Jianyan up. She grabbed his ear and threatened him fiercely, "Say it again?"

Ming Jiayi had finished her breakfast amidst their arguing. She yawned leisurely and then waved goodbye to them.

Bi Tingran let go of Ming Jiayi's hand, looked at her, and cheerfully shouted, "Let's play again!"

Ming Jiayi smiled gently at Bi Tingran.

Then, Bi Tingran turned her head again and continued to pull hard on Yu Jianyan's ear.

...

Around 2 PM

Ming Jiayi hurriedly entered the private room of the hot pot restaurant with her phone in hand.

She and Gu Shaojin had arranged to meet at 12:30, but she's almost two hours late...

I don't know if her alarm clock didn't go off or if she didn't hear it, but anyway, it's all over!

Ming Jiayi stood at the door, staring blankly at Gu Shaojin, her face full of guilt.

A shadow fell over Gu Shaojin's delicate and sculpted features.

He's someone who can easily make millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

Now we've wasted over an hour here for nothing?

Ming Jiayi moved forward step by step, and then she carefully sat down opposite Gu Shaojin.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Gu, it's my fault..."

Gu Shaojin's calm expression carried a hint of anger; if it were anyone else, he would have left long ago.

"Did you know that the hot pot gets cold by the time it's ready?"

Ming Jiayi bent down and pressed the switch, then turned up the heat.

"Just boil it a little longer."

Gu Shaojin frowned.

He didn't understand.

What kind of amazing statement is this?

Seeing that Gu Shaojin didn't speak again, Ming Jiayi started talking to herself.

"We finished around 5:30 this morning, and I got home around 7 o'clock. By then, the sun was already shining brightly, so I hadn't slept for more than a few hours."

"But Mr. Gu, why did you ask me to treat you to lunch? Wouldn't it have been better to eat in the evening? I could have gone back to the film set afterwards."

Gu Shaojin looked at Ming Jiayi indifferently and replied casually, "If you want, you can treat me to dinner again tonight."

Ming Jiayi twitched her lips. "That won't be necessary."

Ming Jiayi carefully placed the dishes from the table into the pot, her movements extremely natural and practiced.

She hadn't liked hot pot that much before.

But ever since she transmigrated into this body, she has subconsciously wanted to eat hot pot.

She couldn't explain why.

Eat as much as you like.

"After you finish eating, I'll take you to meet someone," Gu Shaojin said, watching Ming Jiayi intently cooking the vegetables.

Ming Jiayi nodded indifferently, indicating that she understood.

She only returned those calls to Ming's parents and Ming Fengche last night.

She hasn't replied to anyone else's messages yet...

However, she was too lazy to reply; they would call back if they really had something urgent anyway.

...

Gu Shaojin, who was completely concealed, led Ming Jiayi, who was also completely concealed, to a coffee shop.

That was in a coffee shop near the Imperial Academy of Drama.

Most of the people sitting inside were students, so the whole café was filled with a youthful atmosphere.
