Cen Jin instinctively stopped in her tracks, retracting her apricot eyes that were admiring the surroundings, and looked at the delicate face in front of her. She smiled politely and replied, "I’m looking for Jiang Baizhou."
"Doctor Jiang is busy at the moment. Do you have an appointment?"
The smile on Cen Jin’s face suddenly turned awkward. "No..."
"Which issue would you like to consult Doctor Jiang about? If you need, I can help you arrange an appointment." The girl smiled generously and gracefully, and as she spoke, she took a business card from the desk behind her and handed it to her. "When the time comes, we will call you."
"No..." Cen Jin waved her hand, not reaching out to take the business card offered to her.
"Oh, Cen Jin, long time no see." Just as Cen Jin was about to explain the misunderstanding, the familiar sound of surprise came from the stairway.
Upon hearing this, Cen Jin looked up and saw Lu Xize coming down the stairs, one hand resting on the handrail and the other holding a document. Thinking that they had bumped into each other at that restaurant a few days ago, even though it had been more than a week, she greeted him with a faint smile, "Yes, long time no see."
"Here to see Bai Zhou, right?" Lu Xize trotted down the stairs, speaking as he tossed the document onto a nearby desk and subtly signaled to the boy sitting there.
"Yes." Cen Jin nodded with a smile.
"Then why not just go up?" Lu Xize stood in front of her, asked with an intrigued expression.
Being stared at made Cen Jin uncomfortable, so she jested with a smile, "This lovely lady asked if I had an appointment."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xize turned to look at the girl beside him and burst into hearty laughter. "Xuanxuan, you asked her for an appointment?" he said, laughing again and looking at the girl, who was bewildered. "If you require her to have an appointment to meet Old Jiang, Old Jiang would definitely fire you."
"Ah! Doctor Lu..." Hearing this, the girl immediately became flustered.
"Our place just opened, and you’ve just arrived, so it’s normal not to recognize her. Come, let me introduce you." Lu Xize stood formally between the two of them, pointing at the girl first. "Cen Jin, this is Wei Xuan. She’s Old Jiang’s assistant, just been here for half a month. Xuanxuan, this is... Old Jiang’s childhood sweetheart and girlfriend. When you see her coming to find Old Jiang, don’t ask about appointments. Otherwise, if Old Jiang finds out, you know how stubborn he is. He’s hard to get along with, would you dare to offend his girlfriend? If he doesn’t fire you, who would he fire?"
Lu Xize’s words sounded like he was whispering to Wei Xuan, but Cen Jin was standing right in front of them with a speechless expression, glaring at Lu Xize. "Hey, I’m standing right here!"
"Hehe, a kind and beautiful girl like our Cen Jin would never do something like tattling on Old Jiang, right?"
"Stop with the flattery." Cen Jin rolled her eyes at him, suddenly realizing something. She asked in surprise, "Hey, wait, how do you know about me and him... Did he tell you?"
"Did he need to tell me? This morning, when he arrived, his brows were nearly lifted to the back of his head, and his eyes were full of uncontrollable happiness. He was happier than winning the lottery. I casually guessed, and he tacitly admitted. What, are you planning to keep it an underground affair?" Lu Xize crossed his arms, recalling Jiang Baizhou’s exuberant spirit in the morning, mixed with a bit of smugness, which made him roll his eyes and want to poke fun.
