Chapter 258: The Wealthy and Powerful Doctor Ye
While Lu Shan went to change her clothes, Ye Qingbai quickly took out peaches and grapes from the net bag and went to the washroom outside to wash them.
Lu Shan changed her clothes and came out, but didn't see him. She assumed he had left.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Qingbai came in with some washed fruit. "Dr. Lu, I washed some fruit. Have some to help you relax."
"Thanks."
Lu Shan looked at the pile of fruits and snacks and said indifferently, "Comrade Xiao Ye, don't spend money on this in the future."
Ye Qingbai chuckled, "It's no trouble at all. Well, you're our company commander's older sister, which means you're my older sister too. It's nothing for you to eat some of my fruit. Don't feel guilty."
After realizing what he had said, Ye Qingbai almost slapped himself in the face in front of Lu Shan.
What do you mean, you treat me like my older sister?
What on earth is he saying with that lousy mouth?
Was he here to find an older sister?
Does he need a sister?
No, he needs a partner.
"Xiao Ye, thank you."
It was clear that Lu Shan felt relieved by Ye Qingbai's words.
She took the peach he offered her and took a small bite.
"It's very sweet." She smiled at him. "You should have some too."
"good."
Ye Qingbai also took a peach, took a bite,
It is indeed very sweet.
His heart should have been even sweeter.
But now it seems his foul mouth has ruined everything.
However, he thought again that getting close to her as her younger brother was also a way to get along.
Otherwise, she probably wouldn't even eat the fruit he gave her.
Anyway, he was the younger brother to begin with.
Ye Qingbai was lost in thought as he sat with Lu Shan and awkwardly finished eating a peach.
He didn't even dare to eat as heartily as he usually did.
Instead, I followed her eating rhythm and slowly finished the peach in my hand.
After finishing his meal, he asked Lu Shan, "Dr. Lu, what time do you get off work?"
"I have to do rounds this afternoon, and I probably won't get off work until almost six o'clock, or there might be any unexpected situations."
After she finished eating the peach, she smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, thank you for the fruit."
"I have to get to work now. Is there anything else?"
She looked at him with a smile, which was already a tactful way of asking him to leave.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingbai quickly stood up, tugged at his clothes, and said, "It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by and came in to see you."
"Then I won't disturb your work any longer, I'll be going now."
Lu Shan handed the fruit from the net bag to Ye Qingbai, saying, "I'll just have a peach. You can take the rest back and eat them. I don't have time to eat them here."
"There's no reason for me to take it back; you can keep it and eat it."
Ye Qingbai remembered that when Lu Ye was hospitalized last time, the fruit he bought for Lu Shan was all taken to Lu Ye's ward. This time, since no one he knew was hospitalized, she had to keep it for herself.
He was afraid she wouldn't accept it, so he made up an excuse to offer her fruit.
"Girls should eat more fruit; it's good for their skin."
After saying that, he realized his wording was inappropriate and quickly corrected himself, "I didn't mean that your skin is bad now and that eating fruit will make you prettier. No, you're already very pretty..."
At this moment, Ye Qingbai scratched his head like a clueless fool, feeling like he had gotten himself all tangled up.
Lu Shan interrupted him with a smile, "Alright, leave the fruit here."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you after you finish eating."
Before Lu Shan could speak, Ye Qingbai grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and said, "Then I'm leaving."
As soon as he opened the door, the two nurses at the office door immediately stood up straight and coughed lightly.
Hello.
Ye Qingbai estimated that he might come here often in the future, so he was quite enthusiastic towards Lu Shan's colleagues. "I'm leaving now."
"Okay, goodbye." Sister Wang and the young nurse waved goodbye with gossipy expressions.
Once his figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, the two couldn't help but start discussing again.
"I can guarantee that this comrade's relationship with Dr. Lu is definitely not simple."
"Exactly, they bought so much fruit and imported chocolate."
"He's also very handsome; he's definitely a good match for our Dr. Lu."
The two were whispering when Lu Shan came out.
She looked at them expressionlessly and asked, "Who will be in charge of the patient in bed eight who will be having surgery this afternoon?"
"Me." The young nurse raised her hand, then sheepishly slipped away. "We'll get back to work now."
...
When Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi got home from get off work, Old Master Lu and his son Lu Zheng'an were already waiting at home, chatting enthusiastically with Ye Qingbai.
As for Ye Qingbai, Lu Zheng'an had already met him at the hospital last time. Now that he knew that Ye Qingbai was Bai Zhi's cousin, and considering Lu Ye's connection to him, everyone felt even closer.
Old Master Lu was particularly fond of Ye Qingbai.
To be precise, he likes all young people who join the army.
Ye Qingbai told them that he also knew Lu Shan, which made Old Lu feel even closer to him.
Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi got out of Lu Ye's car looking exhausted. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard Old Master Lu's hearty laughter.
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly.
Her cousin actually managed to make the old man laugh so happily.
When Lu Zheng'an saw Ye Rufeng walking in looking travel-worn, he hurriedly went up to greet her.
“Uncle Ye, we really feel sorry for you and Xiaozhi, who are busy until this late every day.” He asked, “Are there many patients lately? When can you take a break? You are getting old, you need to take care of your health.”
Ye Rufeng responded, "Thank you for your concern."
Seeing that his grandfather and father had arrived, Lu Ye explained, "Dad, Xiao Zhi will be working at the military hospital tomorrow. There were many patients today, so we were a little busy. Later on, my maternal grandfather will be seeing patients all by himself, which will be even more tiring."
Grandpa Lu also stood up and gestured for Ye Rufeng to sit down.
He then had Lu Zheng'an take the food they had specially ordered from the restaurant out of the thermos.
"Quickly wash your hands and let's eat first, we can chat while we eat."
Seeing the lavish dishes they had ordered, Bai Zhi felt truly hungry.
I had a bowl of noodles at noon, and it's mostly digested by now.
Others might see them sitting at work and think they don't expend as much energy as people who do physical labor, but in reality, the mental work, plus the constant talking and writing, makes her feel more tired and drained than if she were carrying bricks.
During the meal, Old Master Lu asked Ye Rufeng, "Brother Ye, how much longer will you be seeing patients at Jishengtang?"
"About half a month," Ye Rufeng said. "There aren't as many patients as a few days ago. Starting next week, I'll be seeing patients for half a day every day. I need to free up some time to prepare my granddaughter's dowry."
Upon hearing Ye Rufeng's words, Lu Ye sincerely said, "Grandpa, I've already told Xiaozhi that we don't care about things like dowry."
Whether you care or not is your business.
Ye Rufeng was wealthy and arrogant, and he spoke with a straight back: "Whether or not I provide a dowry is my business."
Old Master Lu was afraid that Lu Ye's words would displease Ye Rufeng, so he smiled and smoothed things over, "Anyway, whether it's the betrothal gifts or the dowry, it's all for the young couple to live their lives in the future. It's also a small token of our appreciation as elders."
Old Lu said, "We came here today to tell Xiaozhi that we're going to redecorate the house here soon. If you two have time tomorrow, go and look at some furniture. Nowadays, young people are into buying modular cabinets. We'll get one for your new house, as well as a color TV, refrigerator, and washing machine. We happen to have some vouchers on hand, so we'll arrange that for you too."
Bai Zhi listened to the old man's words and replied sweetly, "Okay, thank you, Grandpa."
