Chapter 178 Thoughts

"She is not my fiancée." Mu Bai said hurriedly, "It's just that my mother likes her very much, but my family didn't arrange a marriage for us, so I always treated her as my sister."

"Mu Bai! Don't you really like me at all? Who wants to be your sister? Is my family background not worthy of you? Vixen, let me tell you, my grandfather is the leader of the Beijing District, Mu Bai and I are a perfect match, and only I can be Mu Bai's wife. You, who comes from a small place, should just give up this idea!" Lu Yan pointed at Shen Ruoqing with an arrogant look.

It turns out she's not my fiancée.

Shen Ruoqing calmed down a little: "Ms. Lu, I don't care how powerful your family background is, but this is a hospital. You insulted me for no reason in a public place like a hospital, which has damaged my reputation. I can sue you. If you continue to make loud noises here, I will call security."

"Go ahead and call me if you have the guts. My grandfather is the leader of the Lu team. I don't think anyone dares to chase me away!"

"Lu Yan! Have you had enough of the trouble?" Mu Bai's face darkened and he was obviously angry.

"Mu Bai, you are so mean to me for a woman from such a small place?" Lu Yan had a look of disbelief on her face.

"Lu Yan, why don't you go home now, or I'll call Leader Lu and ask him to send someone to pick you up."

"I'm not leaving. Why should I leave? I haven't seen you for so many days, and you spend the whole day with this wild girl and don't even go home. Yesterday, your aunt asked you to come back for dinner, why didn't you come back?"

Mu Bai rubbed his brows and said, "What are you doing here? I invited Dr. Shen here, so of course I have to stay by her side to ensure her safety. Didn't I say that yesterday? Minister Cheng invited me and Dr. Shen to attend the banquet together. Dr. Shen is a guest of honor of Mr. Cheng, and her medical skills are obvious to all. Don't make trouble here unreasonably."

If Lu Yan wasn't the most beloved granddaughter of Leader Lu, Mu Bai wouldn't have continued to pay attention to her here.

"Then why are you following her everywhere? This vixen is so beautiful and looks so seductive, did she seduce you?"

Shen Ruoqing really didn't know how Lu Yan could say such a thing. Although, she is indeed very pretty. But she can't be considered a vixen, right? Shen Ruoqing thought that her appearance was still pure, so how could she be associated with a vixen? "Miss Lu, I will take it as you are praising my beauty. You can't always think that every time you see a beautiful girl next to Mu Bai, she is a vixen seducing people, right? There is nothing innocent between Mu Bai and me, we are just ordinary friends. Moreover, even if Comrade Mu Bai and I have a deeper revolutionary friendship, Miss Lu, you are at most a younger sister, and you can't control Mu Bai, right?"

"You! I am the daughter-in-law recognized by my aunt! Who do you think you are?" Lu Yan was obviously furious.

"That was my mother's personal wishful thinking. Lu Yan, I don't have any romantic feelings for you at all." Mu Bai didn't want to say it so disrespectfully. After all, she was the granddaughter of Leader Lu, and she should have given her some face. But for some reason, Mu Bai still said it.

Mu Bai glanced at Shen Ruoqing: "As for the matter between me and Dr. Shen, you have no right to ask."

"But I like you! Mu Bai, I have liked you since I was a child, and my aunt likes me very much too. It is only a matter of time before I marry you!" Men and women at this age are generally more reserved and tactful. It is rare to find someone like Lu Yan who dares to say that she likes you so much.

People around started pointing fingers at Lu Yan.

"That handsome guy has already said that he doesn't like that girl, so why is she still clinging to him?"

"that is……"

Dean Song also came at this time. He had heard that Lu Yan had come to his hospital to cause trouble.

"Ms. Lu, why did you come to our hospital? Expert Shen, the patient in bed 48 just said he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. Please go and take a look. Miss Lu..."

Since Dean Song said so, Shen Ruoqing naturally would not ignore Dean Song's face and took the young doctor to see the patient in bed 48.

Dean Song was left to deal with Lu Yan.

Anyway, when Shen Ruoqing got off work, she didn't see Lu Yan anymore.

"Ruoqing." Mu Bai came.

He looked like a child who had done something wrong, with an anxious look on his face. He opened his mouth and paused before speaking: "That Lu Yan is the granddaughter of the leader of the Beijing District. Her father is also a regiment leader, and he is on a mission outside. She does have a close relationship with my mother, but I don't like her at all..."

Shen Ruoqing stared at Mu Bai.

The words that Mu Bai had originally organized were all messed up, and he didn't know what he said afterwards. Being stared at by Shen Ruoqing like this, Mu Bai stopped talking and pursed his lips.

Shen Ruoqing suddenly laughed.

"Mu Bai, you don't actually have to explain anything to me."

Mu Bai looked at her seriously: "But I think it is necessary."

She giggled. "Why are you explaining so much to me? The implication of your words seems to be something else. We are just ordinary friends. Even if you are really her fiancée, it doesn't prevent us from being friends."

"But I don't want you to misunderstand, Shen Ruoqing, I——"

As if he had made up his mind, Mu Bai finally spoke out:

"I don't want to be just friends with you."

…

After returning to the room, Shen Ruoqing buried himself in the quilt.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Her face flushed red as she thought foolishly about what Mu Bai had said.

What did Mu Bai say before? He seemed to say that he didn't want to be just friends with me.

Then what? Then I asked him, what does he want to do with me? Mu Bai said that he wanted to wait until I grow up.

The meaning is very clear.

Mu Bai likes himself.

Shen Ruoqing poked her head out from under the quilt. She wondered, when did Mu Bai start to like her? She was indeed very attractive. Although Shen Ruoqing was already in her twenties in her previous life, she had never been in a relationship before. Now that she met a man who was quite good in all aspects and expressed his love to her, she couldn't help but feel shy.

Does she like Mu Bai?

Shen Ruoqing didn't know. But she didn't hate Mu Bai, nor did she dislike that Mu Bai liked her. Besides, Mu Bai had always been very good to her.

Thinking of Mu Bai's handsome face, Shen Ruoqing buried her face in the quilt again.

Could it be that I like Mu Bai too?

After thinking about it, she realized that she was really unhappy when she met Lu Yan today. Especially when she thought Lu Yan was Mu Bai's fiancée, she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. When she heard Mu Bai's explanation, she seemed to be relieved and her mood became relaxed again.

Maybe she likes Mu Bai too?

Mu Bai was twenty-one years old and she was sixteen, a five-year age difference, which didn’t seem like a big difference.
