Fang Yu became even more guarded, "This tigress seems off today, could it be that her brain’s flooded with water?"
Seeing Fang Yu like a frightened bird, Xu Zhaopei became bolder—
"Come on, tell me, am I pretty today?"
Fang Yu almost burst out laughing. Xu Zhaopei’s gaze was like that of a wolf, and he felt like a lamb to the slaughter. Her affectionate eyes and gentle expression instead gave Fang Yu a chill down his spine.
"Honestly, you look beautiful." Fang Yu spread his hands.
"Hehe... you look very handsome today—"
"—"
How do these things even relate?
Is this how one complements someone handsome? That look almost seems to devour him, with lecherous intent.
"I say, Dr. Xu, could you have some restraint?" Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
"Don’t call me Dr. Xu, from now on, you can call me Peipei..."
Fang Yu was utterly speechless.
"Alright, then please act normal, don’t keep staring at me. It doesn’t look good to others."
"You look handsome..."
"—"
The waiter started serving dishes.
As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, Fang Yu began to devour his food, eating ravenously just so he could end this meal sooner and feel relieved.
This woman has changed her mood so abruptly; there must be some scheme.
"Eh? It’s so hot!" exclaimed Xu Zhaopei.
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
Although it was a hot July, restaurants like this were air-conditioned. How could it be hot?
"Don’t you feel hot?" Xu Zhaopei said with a smile.
"Hot?" Fang Yu retorted.
"Yes, it’s really warm."
"Fang Yu, do I really look good?"
Fang Yu was startled...
"Of course, you look beautiful!"
"Then... where exactly do I look good?"
Fang Yu was speechless.
"Uh—"
"You’re just humoring me." Xu Zhaopei pouted discontentedly.
"Not at all, you truly are beautiful," Fang Yu said sincerely.
"Then who looks better, me or Jiang Wei?"
This—
Fang Yu hadn’t expected Xu Zhaopei to compare herself to Jiang Wei. Honestly, they both had utterly different styles. Jiang Wei was the aloof goddess type with some traits of a strong woman, while Xu Zhaopei had a fiery demeanor and acted decisively. Appearance-wise, both were top-notch beauties.
"Honestly, both of you are beautiful. If I said you’re prettier, you probably wouldn’t believe me. But... I think your demeanor is more down-to-earth," Fang Yu remarked.
"Really?"
"Really!"
"So, do you like me?" Xu Zhaopei said.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Fang Yu put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Zhaopei.
"If you don’t say it straight, I’m leaving."
Hearing this, Xu Zhaopei hesitated for a second, uncertainty flashing in her eyes.
After a moment, Xu Zhaopei shyly said, "Fang Yu, can you promise me one thing?"
"Haven’t I already agreed to attend your grandfather’s birthday banquet?"
"It’s not about that."
"What is it then?"
Xu Zhaopei looked at Fang Yu and said, "Promise first."
Fang Yu sighed softly, took a sip of water and said, "Go on, I’ll help if I can."
"It’s actually not a big deal, you can definitely help," Xu Zhaopei said with a hopeful gaze, "Fang Yu, be my real boyfriend!"
Pfft—
Fang Yu, who had just had a sip of water, almost spit it all out.
"What’s the matter?" Xu Zhaopei asked.
"Granny... you’re joking, right?" Fang Yu said wryly.
"I’m not joking," said Xu Zhaopei.
"Please, I really can’t joke about this..." Fang Yu said helplessly.
Hearing this, Xu Zhaopei looked down sadly.
Blaming herself for being too outstanding, young and beautiful, and also the lead surgical specialist at Hua University Hospital, these are the conditions for being outstanding.
"Fang Yu, don’t worry, I won’t despise you!"
"—"
Fang Yu was momentarily stunned, then burst out, "Excuse me, what’s this about despising? Xu Zhaopei, do you really think you’re so great? Do you think you can compete with me in medical skill? And position-wise, I’m the director of Hua University Hospital! Moreover, I have an angelic fiancée waiting for me."
Hmm?
Xu Zhaopei’s face darkened.
Just like the first time they met, utterly shameless!
But—
Unexpectedly, she didn’t flare up but stubbornly said, "I don’t care! You must take responsibility!"
Just as she finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter came from nearby—
"Wow, if it isn’t Hua University Hospital’s two Divine Doctors?"
Fang Yu looked over.
Xiao He?
What is this guy doing here?
With a smirking expression, which showed none of the sadness from recently having lost his younger brother.
Approaching the table, he greeted, "Dr. Fang, Dr. Xu... we meet again."
Fang Yu didn’t have a good impression of him, and dealing with the Xiao Family was on the cards eventually.
"What are you doing here?"
"Dr. Fang, you’re not right with that question, didn’t you know that Dr. Xu is young master Sun’s fiancée? And young master Sun is my brother, how can I not care?"
