At this moment, Yu Xiyan felt both ashamed and angry.
I wish I could pin that bastard Zhao Lei to the ground and beat him up.
Seeing her reaction, Zhao Lei could easily see through her act, and his expression immediately turned ugly.
"Xi Yan, am I wrong? Our families have a marriage agreement, and you are my fiancée! Besides, we agreed that once I finished my doctorate, you would agree to be my girlfriend!" Zhao Lei said angrily.
If it weren't for this agreement, he wouldn't have gone back to Xidu to work right after graduation.
Yu Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then said coldly, "First of all, the marriage agreement was from the previous generation and has nothing to do with me. What era are we living in? Who still practices arranged marriages? Besides, I never said I would be with you after I finished my doctorate. I just said I didn't want to date during my studies. That was a clear rejection. Don't tell me you don't understand that!"
Yu Xiyan felt annoyed. She had only used a polite way of refusing the other party, but she didn't expect that the other party hadn't even understood.
She was angry, but Zhao Lei was even angrier. He quickly grabbed Yu Xiyan's shoulders and said, "Yu Xiyan, what are you talking about? You clearly meant that in the first place! But now you've changed your mind. Tell me, have you changed your mind? Have you taken a fancy to that quack doctor surnamed Lin?"
"You, you let go!"
Yu Xiyan pushed him away and said coldly, "Who I like is my own business. In short, we are impossible!"
"you……"
Zhao Lei's face flushed red, and before he could say anything, Yu Xiyan quickly turned around and ran out.
Grass!
Zhao Lei kicked the table leg hard, intending to vent his anger, but ended up howling in pain as he clutched his foot and roared.
At this moment, Yu Xiyan had already run to the ward.
Lin Yu was about to visit Chen Gang when Yu Xiyan caught up with him.
"Dr. Lin!" Yu Xiyan gasped for breath, as if she was extremely anxious, and kept fanning herself with her delicate hands.
Lin Yu frowned. "Why are you running so fast? You just lost too much blood. Although you've recovered, your internal organs need time to recover. You can't do strenuous exercise!"
"I... I'm only doing this because of you!" Yu Xiyan said irritably.
"Because of me?" Lin Yu was confused, not knowing what this had to do with him.
Yu Xiyan blushed and said, "Dr. Lin, shall we go over there and talk?"
Lin Yu looked at her strangely, but he still followed her to the deserted stairwell.
"Dr. Lin, actually, I wanted to tell you that I have nothing to do with Zhao Lei. We're just childhood friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend!" Yu Xiyan explained awkwardly.
Lin Yu paused for a moment, then nodded. "I see. Now I can rest assured!"
"Uh, what did you say?" Yu Xiyan's pretty face turned even redder.
What does he mean by that?
Was he relieved to learn that he and Zhao Lei were not in a romantic relationship?
Is this a hint that he likes her too?
Thinking of these things, Yu Xiyan's heart pounded, as if a deer was running wild.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "What I mean is, he's not good enough for you, and you'd better stay away from a man like him!"
Yu Xiyan quickly lowered her head, her face flushed, and said, "I know, I never liked him anyway. Since you put it that way, I'll agree. But, you..."
At this point, Yu Xiyan hesitated, her face flushed.
In her opinion, Lin Yu's words were clearly an implication to her, equivalent to a confession of his feelings for her.
After all, this sounds like the tone and stance of a boyfriend!
Ha ha!
Happiness came so suddenly!
I never expected that I, Yu Xiyan, would have a boyfriend! My parents won't have to urge me to get married anymore!
La la la la!
Yu Xiyan lowered her head and kept wiggling her toes, her heart bursting with joy.
"At this moment, shouldn't he hold my hand, or do something like a wall slam, and then confess his feelings to me?" Yu Xiyan thought to herself, quietly waiting for Lin Yu to continue.
However, in Lin Yu's eyes, her appearance was extremely strange.
What's wrong with this girl? Could it be that she has side effects from the blood draw?
Lin Yu shook his head, about to speak, when he suddenly saw a beautiful woman in a uniform walking down the corridor.
It is naturally Chen Ning!
"Xiyan, I'm going to check on Uncle Chen first. We'll talk later!"
Lin Yu said something and then quickly chased after Chen Ning.
Yu Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Lin Yu catch up with Chen Ning. The two of them walked towards Chen Gang's ward while talking.
It took Yu Xiyan a long time to come to her senses. She immediately clenched her little fists and stomped her feet angrily. "What is he? He was having a good time with someone else, and then he went to chase after another girl. What a heartbreaker!"
Yu Xiyan felt so angry. One moment she thought she was about to win over a man, but the next second, he flew away like a duck. She was really annoyed.
Although she knew Lin Yu was going to see Chen Gang, she was still incredibly jealous, her lips pouting so much they could hang an oil bottle on them!
"Hmph! Lin Yu, I will never forgive you!"
Yu Xiyan stomped her foot angrily, turned around and stormed off, returning to the duty room.
"Xi Yan, you're back just in time. There are some things I need to make clear to you!"
Zhao Lei tried to grab Yu Xiyan's hand, but Yu Xiyan abruptly shook him off.
"Just talk, don't get physical!" Yu Xiyan said irritably. She was already in a bad mood, so how could she give this guy a pleasant look?
