Li Lu's reasoning gave Gu Xiaonuan clues, and ever since she knew about her participation in the competition, it hadn't been as smooth as she had imagined.
As Gu Xiaonuan was deep in thought, Si Yuchen's inopportune call came through.
"I'll pick you up at noon."
Si Yuchen never bothered to ask for Gu Xiaonuan's opinion when he spoke or did anything.
Gu Xiaonuan gave Li Lu a dissatisfied look, and Li Lu immediately understood who was on the other end of the call.
"I have classes in the afternoon," she protested.
She wasn't an unemployed vagrant to be at his beck and call.
Si Yuchen was holding his phone, looking down and organizing the medical records on his left.
"I have patients in the afternoon too."
He always had a never-ending stream of patients, yet Gu Xiaonuan was his most important matter apart from treating the sick.
For the time being, Gu Xiaonuan even exceeded Mu Shan in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaonuan felt even more justified in refusing him.
