"no problem."
Chu Yunxing had no objections to her plan; it was perfect.
If Song Mai were still alive, she would probably be shining just as brightly as she is now.
“In that case, let’s proceed with this plan for now. If any other issues arise later, we can discuss them further.” Bai Wan’er glanced at her watch, then stood up to leave.
Chu Yunxing looked at her, hesitant to speak.
Bai Wan'er noticed his pause and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else?"
"It's alright. Would it be convenient for us to grab a bite to eat later? Consider it an early celebration of our successful collaboration."
Such words had never come from Chu Yunxing's mouth before, and as soon as he finished speaking, a look of regret appeared on his face.
Bai Wan'er didn't notice his unusual behavior and refused, saying, "I promised An'an I would go home early today."
She left without a pause, yet she left a deep mark on Chu Yunxing's heart.
Assistant Lu whispered from the side, "Why is Master Yun acting so strangely this time? He's completely unlike himself."
“What do you know? Miss Bai is different from the girls before her.” Shen Que sighed.
Their boss subconsciously treated Bai Wan'er as Song Mai, which was completely different from the previous stand-in.
The most terrifying thing is to watch yourself fall into despair with a clear mind.
Assistant Lu scratched his head curiously and said softly, "Really? There's such a saying?"
"What do you know?" Shen Que rolled his eyes at him. If he weren't so oblivious, how could he not understand his own feelings?
Seeing Shen Que stride away, Assistant Lu felt even more helpless.
What's wrong with them?
Being oblivious, he quickly put the matter out of his mind and went about his work.
That evening, Chu Yunxing sat in the bar once again. Despite the noisy environment, he sat there absentmindedly, completely uninterested in having fun.
Xie Xing wearily raised his glass: "I came here before my last drinking session was even over. Instead of being grateful for my selfless act, you're treating me like this."
Jiang Jibai nudged him with his wrist: "He's probably thinking about Bai Wan'er again right now."
"Hasn't it already been confirmed that Bai Wan'er is not Song Mai? You've been with Song Mai for so long, don't you have any special features that can tell them apart?" Xie Xing leaned lazily against the sofa.
A special place?
Chu Yunxing was startled and immediately became excited.
He could hear Song Mai's thoughts, and if Bai Wan'er really was Song Mai, he would definitely be able to hear them too!
Soon, the light in his eyes dimmed again, and he sighed wearily.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but ever since Song Mai discovered that he had been deceiving her, he seemed to have stopped hearing Song Mai's true feelings.
If Song Mai really comes back, will he still be able to hear her inner voice?
All of this is still unknown; after all, only practice can yield results.
He frowned instinctively, picked up his coat, and strode away.
"Where are you going?" Xie Xing immediately sat up straight, frowning in surprise.
"go home."
"What's wrong with him? He just called me over, then turned around and left." Xie Xing picked up his wine glass in frustration and snorted coldly, "If he won't drink, we will."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jibai's mind was not on him at all. His eyes were fixed on the distance, and he got up on his own, saying, "You drink by yourself, I have something to do."
Xie Xing watched his retreating figure with frustration, cursing him inwardly.
Jiang Jibai walked up to the bar and saw Lin Ran being flirted with by other men. He put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Sorry, she has plans today."
Jiang Jibai is tall and muscular, and with his regular workouts, he looks like someone you wouldn't want to mess with.
The man quickly apologized and turned to leave.
Lin Ran, slightly tipsy, looked at Jiang Jibai, extremely annoyed: "Why are you everywhere?"
Since the conflict with Jiang Jibai at the hospital five years ago, I have occasionally run into Jiang Jibai over the past few years.
Although she said she disliked it, she didn't actually dislike it.
"Why are you drinking alone here? It's dangerous for a girl to be out alone." Jiang Jibai took the glass from her hand with concern and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you home."
"Forget it, aren't you going to drink here? Driving under the influence is dangerous. You might not care about your life, but I do." Lin Ran gave him a disdainful look.
Unexpectedly, his good intentions were misunderstood, leaving Jiang Jibai with no way to express his bitterness.
"Then I'll drink with you."
"I saw someone today who looked a lot like Mai Zi. If her identity weren't so obvious, I might have instinctively thought she was Mai Zi back." Lin Ran put down her wine glass in frustration and said in a low voice, "Is Mai Zi really dead?"
For the past five years, none of Song Mai's friends have believed that she is dead.
"As long as you remember her, she will always be in our hearts." Jiang Jibai didn't know how else to comfort her, so he could only offer this kind of comfort.
Lin Ran smiled in disappointment and said in a low voice, "You are always so rational, so rational that I don't know how to get close to you."
Then, fueled by intoxication, Lin Ran's eyes became blurry as she slowly approached.
This scene made Jiang Jibai panic, and he instinctively wanted to get closer. But his last bit of rationality kept reminding him that this was just Lin Ran being irrational while drunk.
"Let me take you home."
Jiang Ji didn't drink a drop of liquor and drove Lin Ran home.
Jiang Jibai decided to help Lin Ran and Chu Yunxing face reality, so he took the initiative to organize a gathering and invited the two of them and Bai Wan'er.
An invitation needs a reason, so Jiang Jibai specifically chose his mother's 60th birthday.
The Jiang family was highly respected, with generations of doctors, and their medical skills were renowned throughout the country.
When it's Old Madam Jiang's birthday, very few people refuse to give her face.
After all, appointments at the Jiang family's clinic are hard to come by, and many people even spend a lot of money to seek medical treatment from them.
"To be honest, you've never been so respectful to me before. What's the matter?" Mrs. Jiang asked with a smile, her face full of affection.
Jiang Jibai has always been sensible in his actions, so she naturally trusts him.
"Mom, just enjoy your birthday. As for the other things, they're just small matters between us. Don't worry about them." He brushed it off with a few words and began to plan how to determine Bai Wan'er's identity.
Bai Wan'er was also extremely shocked when she received the invitation.
She subconsciously asked Ji Fenghe, after all, she knew nothing about the situation here.
Ji Fenghe was also puzzled, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Jiang Jibai helped An'an with her medical treatment a few days ago, and now that it's his mother's birthday, it's natural that he needs to express his gratitude. Besides, we'll be interacting with everyone here frequently in the future, so why not take this opportunity to get to know each other better?"
Bai Wan'er pondered for a moment: "Alright, but don't bring An'an. She's still very weak."
