"No, it's fine, just say it here. Plus…you are dating Dr. Wu. If she finds out, she might misunderstand." To Ning Zhiyuan's surprise, Huo Mian rejected his request.
"Mian, please give me a chance to speak to you alone, okay?"
Huo Mian had never seen Ning Zhiyuan so humble, and his attitude somewhat softened her resolve.
"Huo Mian, I'll leave you two alone then." Huang Yue didn't feel comfortable sitting with them, so she picked up her tray and left.
Ning Zhiyuan saw his opportunity and immediately sat down across from Huo Mian.
"Aren't you afraid that Dr. Wu will find out that you were talking to me out in the open for everyone to see?"
"I'm not afraid of her, it doesn't matter," Ning Zhiyuan replied calmly.
"Oh, what did you want to talk to me about? Hurry up, I'm a little busy. I have to go back to work in a bit," Huo Mian said after checking the time on her phone.
