Lu Shiyuan left the office. Xiao Dongyi was just muttering to himself about how shameless someone was when he heard a knock on the door. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was the female doctor who had taken the elevator with them just now.
"Xiaonan, what's the matter?"
"Doctor Lu…" Zhu Xiaonan glanced at the office. "Has he left?"
"He just left. Why are you looking for him?"
"He seemed to be very interested in some of the medical records that were discussed during the meeting. I happen to have them here, so I wanted to show them to him. Since he just left, I can still catch up."
After Zhu Xiaonan finished speaking, she hurriedly walked out, but Xiao Dongyi shook his head.
It was said that the ratio of men to women in the country was unbalanced. If a man and a woman were matched, there would be tens of millions of men who would be single. However, the reality was even worse. He was so outstanding that no one cared about him. On the other hand, Lu Shiyuan…
It was really a drought for some and a flood for others.

On the other side.
Su Xianyi queued up to get the medicine. As she walked towards the south gate of the hospital, her phone vibrated. It was an unfamiliar call. She hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
"Is it Su Xianyi?"
"I am. Who are you?"
"I'm Wei Yu'an."
Su Xianyi was a little surprised. He didn't give her any grace that day, so she naturally didn't want to talk to him. She didn't expect him to take the initiative to contact her. "What's the matter?"
"It's about what happened last time. I was indeed wrong. We haven't seen each other for so many years. I didn't expect that the first time we met..." Wei Yu'an smiled. "When are you free? I want to treat you to a meal and apologize to you officially."
"I've received your apology. There's no need for dinner."
"You have to. You can decide the time and place. I'm ready anytime. My mother has been scolding me every day recently. I know that I've really let you down that day. If you're not willing to come out, you must still be angry."
Su Xianyi didn't care about Wei Yu'an, but Lu Ruiqin treated her well.
All these years, when she and her mother left Kingstown, she would still receive some gifts from her during the holidays.
There could be many reasons why Wei Yu'an apologized, but he was willing to apologize and express goodwill. Su Xianyi would not make things too awkward for the sake of his elders.
"I haven't been feeling well recently and don't want to go out. Let's talk about eating another day."
"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Did you see a doctor?"
The sudden enthusiasm made Su Xianyi feel uncomfortable. "No need, it's just a minor illness."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Yu'an began to analyze Su Xianyi's thoughts.
She didn't make it clear that she would still accept his invitation for dinner. She only said that she was sick for a few days. She was probably still angry and wanted to deliberately leave him alone for a few days.
This was all reasonable. He could understand. Since he wanted to apologize, he had to be sincere.
Wei Yu'an called his assistant over. "Help me pick out a few gifts for someone."
"Who are you giving it to?" The assistant had to ask clearly to make it easier for him to work.
"Only girls will like it."
"For Miss Ding?"
Wei Yu'an frowned. This matter concerned Lu Shiyuan's opinion of him and his future. He was worried that his assistant would not choose well.
Ever since Wei Yu'an and Ding Jiaqi's hospital visits became pregnancy rumors, they hadn't seen each other for a while in order to avoid the limelight. When the assistant heard this, he naturally thought that he had to choose a gift for his girlfriend.
He had personally chosen them.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. The news quickly reached Ding Jiaqi. She was filled with joy and specially asked her best friend to go out and buy a few new sets of clothes, waiting for the date.
**
Su Xianyi naturally did not know about this. After sending Wei Yu'an away, she took the medicine and walked towards the south gate of the hospital. Before she reached the door, she saw Lu Shiyuan with the female doctor she had met earlier.
He was holding a document in his hand. The two of them were standing by the car and talking about something. They were far away and could not be heard clearly.
Lu Shiyuan had superior looks. Although the female doctor was not considered beautiful, she had an elegant temperament. She wore a gentle long dress and stood beside him, looking intellectual and elegant.
"Your niece is here. I'll be leaving now. See you at work tomorrow." Zhu Xiaonan smiled, her voice gentle. When she passed by Su Xianyi, she nodded and greeted, "Hello."
"Hello." Su Xianyi clenched the plastic bag in her hand.
They brushed past each other. Although they only greeted each other briefly, the sense of crisis between the women only needed a word and a look.
"Get in the car." Lu Shiyuan naturally opened the passenger door for her.
Su Xianyi thanked him and got into the car, but she still felt uncomfortable. She no longer felt the joy of sitting in his car for the first time.
They were colleagues who met day and night and had common topics to talk about.
Even if she lived opposite him, the number of times she met him could be counted on one hand. How could she compare?
Lu Shiyuan noticed her unhappiness, but he did not say anything. The girl did not seem happy.
Because of Zhu Xiaonan?
He had no experience in coaxing girls. His fingers tapped the steering wheel lightly, deep in thought…
--
Dijing Garden was very close to the hospital. The car quickly stopped at the building. They entered the elevator. Su Xianyi tilted her head and looked at him again. "Sorry to trouble you today."
She was still wearing a mask and spoke in a muffled voice.
"You're welcome." His tone was calm and emotionless. "Be careful when you go out in the near future. Take good care of yourself. If you feel that it's serious, contact me at any time. My phone is on 24 hours a day."
Su Xianyi nodded and pursed her lips. "By the way, how's the kitten recently? It probably didn't run around after the window was sealed, but it couldn't run out even if it wanted to."
"It's been very obedient these two days."
"That's good. People living on high floors have to pay more attention to cat safety."
People living on high floors should pay more attention to raising cats, but Su Xianyi had her own selfish motives. She originally thought that if this cat came often, she could use it to interact more with Lu Shiyuan, but in the end...
He sealed the window and she completely gave up on her thoughts.
Lu Shiyuan nodded. "Do you like cats?"
"I quite like cats. I used to keep one, but it ran away. Then my mother didn't let me have cats anymore." Su Xianyi said.
"Do you have other plans later?"
"Nothing much."
Su Xianyi didn't know why he suddenly asked this, but she told him the truth.
"Lately, Little Gutsy has been wandering around the window. It seems that it wants to climb over the window to find you. It seems to like you."
Lu Shiyuan tilted his head and stared at her with his black eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses. He bent down slightly and leaned closer. He deliberately lowered his voice. "Since you like cats so much and you have nothing to do later, do you want to..."
"Come to my house to look at the cat?"
His voice was warm and hoarse as if he was trying to seduce her.
