Zhou Luo stepped back and leaned against the desk.
Fu Jingchen confessed: "Rong Bing came to see me at noon, we had lunch together, and she promised not to contact me again."
Zhou Luo already knew that Rong Bing had come, and also knew that Fu Jingchen had gotten into the car with her.
Although she didn't know what the two talked about, she believed that Fu Jingchen was not on a date with Rong Bing, so she didn't ask.
Unexpectedly, Fu Jingchen immediately began to explain as soon as he saw him.
“I know, the company is only so big, and news of who comes will spread quickly. Actually, I would have believed you even if you hadn’t said anything.” Zhou Luo raised an eyebrow. “Can I take my lunchbox with me?”
Fu Jingchen stepped in front of the woman, lifted her up by the waist and placed her on the desk, whispering in her ear, "You think you can control me?"
The two were pressed together. Zhou Luo lowered her head guiltily and pushed Fu Jingchen away with her hand: "No, if a colleague comes looking for you later, it will be hard to explain if the door is locked."
"What's there to explain? Once you move in, I'll lock the door every day." Fu Jingchen's lips curled into a wicked smile.
"But didn't you tell Rong Bing not to come to your office? Business is business, and personal matters are personal matters. Why is it me..." Zhou Luo asked knowingly.
“You’re different from her. When I see you, I just want to do it once a day. I don’t want to live with you. I can only do it in the office. I need to make time for it.” Fu Jingchen made no attempt to hide his intentions. “I want you to come early every morning or leave work late every night.”
Zhou Luo gasped: "Nonsense. Just because we can't live together doesn't mean we can't do it at home. We can do it and go back. There's no need to do it like this in the office. It's not good."
Fu Jingchen tightened his grip on the woman's waist, saying, "You're leaving after you're done? It doesn't feel like a normal couple; it feels more like a transaction."
"No way, it's not like I'm leaving right away. Can you let me out first? Please." Zhou Luo pleaded, begging to be let go.
Fu Jingchen lifted her off the table and stood aside, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhou Luo grabbed her lunchbox and jogged out.
Fortunately, no one came to knock on the door during this time, and Zhou Luo returned to her seat as if nothing had happened.
——
At Songshan Clinic, just after lunch break, an uninvited guest arrived.
Yu Wenhao's mother changed her previous shrewish attitude and spoke softly to the receptionist, asking for Shen Xingzhi.
Without an appointment or Shen Xingzhi's consent, the front desk refused to let them in.
Mrs. Yu then asked the front desk to make a phone call for her.
Shen Xingzhi is used to keeping her phone on silent while working, so she didn't hear the call notification.
The receptionist told Ms. Yu that Shen Xingzhi had not answered the phone and was probably busy.
Mrs. Yu sat in the rest area waiting.
Yu Wenhao went home and on the surface became the obedient son his mother wanted, but she always felt that something was wrong with him.
Perhaps because Yu Wenhao was too obedient, he would go on blind dates when his mother asked him to, and work when she asked him to. Even his mother would cook whatever she made for him. When she deliberately made a dish that he didn't like, Yu Wenhao still ate it.
He seemed to have become a robot that followed orders.
Seeing his son like this, Mr. Yu argued with Mrs. Yu every day.
Yu Wenhao quieted down, but his parents argued even more fiercely.
Yu Wenhao remained indifferent to his parents' arguments, never offering any advice. Even if he happened to come home and witness their heated debate, he would pretend not to see it, eating and sleeping as usual.
Yu's mother tried to communicate with Yu Wenhao. He would respond, but he wouldn't express his own thoughts. He would just reply with "okay" to whatever Yu's mother said.
She asked her son to come to Tiancheng, thinking he would be emotional, but Yu Wenhao calmly agreed.
Yu's mother bought the tickets, and Yu Wenhao really came along, but he didn't ask what he was there for, nor did he worry that he was coming to cause trouble for Shen Xingzhi.
Around noon, Yu's mother and Yu Wenhao arrived at the clinic's parking lot. She said she was looking for Shen Xingzhi and asked Yu Wenhao to wait there. To her surprise, her son agreed.
They had arrived at the clinic, and Yu Wenhao and Shen Xingzhi were just a step apart, but he didn't suggest going together.
Yu Wenhao sat facing the clinic.
He knew Shen Xingzhi was on the second floor, but he didn't follow her. He was betting that his mother wasn't there to confront Shen Xingzhi.
During this period, I followed my mother's lead in everything, and it seems that pretending to be a walking corpse has been effective.
The mother must already know that her son is like a lost soul in her presence, and that it would be better if he weren't there at all.
Shen Xingzhi didn't see the front desk's call until an hour later. When she called back, she learned that a lady was waiting for her downstairs.
The next patient wasn't until 3 PM, so Shen Xingzhi took the opportunity to go downstairs and check on them.
An elderly woman in the rest area was playing on her phone. She only looked up when the receptionist reminded her that Dr. Shen had arrived.
Shen Xingzhi was surprised to find that the visitor was Yu's mother. She turned around to call security to escort the guest out, but Yu's mother greeted her with a smile and stopped her.
"Dr. Shen, I didn't come here to argue."
Shen Xingzhi didn't believe it at all. She looked Yu's mother up and down. What was this person up to now?
"Really, I've come to apologize." Mrs. Yu used a wry smile to hide her nervousness.
She, an elder, had to bow down to a young girl; she had no choice but to do so for her son's sake.
Shen Xingzhi laughed directly: "Auntie, there are cameras everywhere in this hall. You can't frame me. Don't waste your time."
“Girl, how could I possibly frame you at your hospital? I came here with Wenhao. He’s been sitting in your parking lot for a long time. Go and see for yourself.”
Shen Xingzhi was completely baffled. Yu Wenhao had also arrived. Had they come together? Not only did Yu's mother not stop them, but she actually allowed her to meet Yu Wenhao. What was going on?
Do you want to trick yourself into going out?
Shen Xingzhi is not stupid.
She refused, saying, "I'm not going. If he really comes, he'll come straight here."
"Okay, I'll have him come over." Mrs. Yu scurried out and soon brought Yu Wenhao back in.
The moment Yu Wenhao saw Shen Xingzhi, his eyes lit up, but when his mother turned around and looked at him, he returned to his expressionless and even somewhat dazed state.
Shen Xingzhi didn't know how to describe her feelings. She and Yu Wenhao had only recently separated, but seeing him felt like seeing a complete stranger.
"Son, aren't you going to say hello to Shen Xingzhi?" Yu's mother tugged at Yu Wenhao.
Yu Wenhao said mechanically, "Hello."
"What do you want?" Shen Xingzhi asked, suppressing her excitement.
"Daughter, can you check if Wenhao is acting strangely? You're a doctor, you'll definitely be able to tell. I'll wait here." Mrs. Yu pushed her son toward Shen Xingzhi.
Shen Xingzhi asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Yu's mother whispered in Shen Xingzhi's ear about her son's unusual behavior recently.
As a doctor, Shen Xingzhi should not refuse any patient, so she brought Yu Wenhao to the consultation room.
After the door was closed, Yu Wenhao suddenly came to life.
The man's face showed anger, and his tone of voice became erratic.
"Xingzhi, long time no see." He returned to normal.
