At noon, Lu Jinghan walked out of the elevator carrying a paper bag, dressed in a crisp casual suit, wearing white sneakers and with deep, captivating eyes beneath his dark short hair. The nurses in the hallway watched him enter Han Xi’s office, full of envy.
[Is this man Doctor Han’s boyfriend? So handsome.]
[He seems to be the president of the Lu Group. Earlier, he was injured in a car accident and lost a lot of blood. I think Doctor Han was the one who gave him a blood transfusion.]
[If he’s Doctor Han’s boyfriend, then what about Doctor Chen?]
In the office, Han Xi was still organizing medical records. Hearing footsteps, she looked up and met Lu Jinghan’s gaze. Their eyes locked, and Han Xi’s cheeks turned red, while Lu Jinghan’s lips curved into a faint smile.
"Didn’t I tell you that you didn’t need to bring me lunch?" Han Xi’s voice had a hint of helplessness.
Lu Jinghan placed the paper bag on the table beside the sofa, unbuttoned his suit, and said, "I don’t think I agreed."
"Mr. Lu, you’ll cause me trouble . There must be nurses gossiping when you walked in just now."
Han Xi imagined the scene and felt she must have become the subject of everyone’s idle gossip.
Lu Jinghan bent over as he arranged the meals, nodding nonchalantly, "Yes, they seemed to be gossiping, saying I’m Doctor Han’s boyfriend."
Han Xi felt exasperated, but Lu Jinghan seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, come eat."
Looking at the table full of food, Han Xi thought it was quite sumptuous—braised pork, steamed bass, corn rib soup, and two stir-fried vegetables....
It looked pretty good and probably tasted delicious too. Anyway, since he was already here, she might as well eat first. Han Xi took off her white coat, washed her hands, and sat down beside the table.
Lu Jinghan served her a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her, "Drink some soup to warm your stomach before eating."
The office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Chen Zheng awkwardly stood at the doorway. Seeing Han Xi and Lu Jinghan having a meal together, a flash of displeasure crossed his face.
"Doctor Chen, is there something you need?"
Lu Jinghan was the first to speak, having keenly caught Chen Zheng’s earlier expression, as well as the gossip among the nurses.
A man’s intuition told him that this Doctor Chen liked Han Xi.
"I came to see if Xiao Xi could join me for a meal, but since you’re already eating, I won’t disturb you."
Chen Zheng tried to suppress his discomfort and managed to squeeze out a weak smile.
Han Xi put down her soup bowl, "Why don’t you join us, there’s too much food anyway."
Lu Jinghan’s gaze deepened as he looked at Han Xi, who pretended not to notice and smiled at Chen Zheng at the door.
Is this woman trying to drive him mad?
"If Mr. Lu doesn’t mind......"
Before Chen Zheng could finish, Lu Jinghan’s low magnetic voice interrupted, "Sorry, Doctor Chen, I mind very much."
Han Xi turned to glare at him, and Lu Jinghan looked right back at her.
Chen Zheng forced a smile, his hand in his pants pocket clenched into a fist, "Then you guys enjoy, I won’t disturb you."
After Chen Zheng closed the door and left, Han Xi finally spoke up angrily, "Why are you ? It’s just a meal, is that really necessary?"
"I just want to have a meal with you, without any external disturbances."
Moreover, this man had ulterior motives for Han Xi.
Listening to his somewhat ambiguous words, Han Xi’s cheeks uncontrollably flushed again, her lowered eyes concealing the turmoil in them.
