Jiang Ruan blinked. Dr. Fu seemed difficult to get along with, yet he appeared naive about the evils of the world. It seemed almost charming...
With this in mind, she agreed, "Alright, I'll contact you when the time comes."
"Good." The man nodded in acknowledgement.
Jiang Ruan waved goodbye and turned to leave.
Watching her retreating figure, he seemed lost in thought. Behind the lenses of his glasses, his phoenix eyes held a hint of something hidden and complex that vanished as quickly as it appeared.
Until, a childish voice sounded beside him.
"Is the lady your girlfriend, Doctor?"
Fu Chi returned from his thoughts and glanced at the little boy sitting on a bench, still holding an apple in his hands.
This was the child he had saved a few days ago.
He didn't answer, but the corners of his usually cold lips faintly turned upward.
It was as if something had pleased him.
He crouched in front of the little boy, asking patiently, "Why do you think she's my girlfriend?"
