Ling Yueyue joked, "In my opinion, our Professor Su is more reliable than Mu Rufeng! Young, handso, considerate, gentle, knowledgeable, cultured, and at twenty-eight, he’s already a professor, sothing unprecedented at our school! More importantly, he treats you well! If he ever confesses to you, I think you should just go for it! He’s a potential gem, you won’t go wrong with him!"
Ye Anxin rolled her eyes at her, not wanting to continue this boring topic, she ignored her.
"Sigh! I’m prettier than you, why don’t I have as many admirers as you?" Seeing Ye Anxin ignoring her, Ling Yueyue lay back down on the table, purposely letting out a long sigh, looking resentful.
Ye Anxin looked at her amused, shaking her head helplessly.
......
In the hospital...
Mu Beiting was sitting on the hospital bed handling office work, his phone placed at the top left corner of the table, with Pete and Judy by his side helping with the docunts from the company.
Nearing noon, Mu Beiting kept glancing at his phone as if he was waiting for sothing.
Pete looked at his wristwatch and asked, "Boss, it’s already eleven-thirty. How about I go out to buy so food first, then continue?"
"No need!" Mu Beiting replied without lifting his head and glanced at his phone again.
Noticing his subtle expressions, Pete seed to understand sothing and tentatively asked, "Boss, are you waiting for madam?" As soon as he spoke, he imdiately felt Mu Beiting’s icy gaze turn towards him.
Pete felt a chill run down his spine, pursed his lips, and bravely spoke again, "Sir, today is Monday, madam has to attend school. She probably won’t co at noon! Besides, at this ti, given madam’s personality, she would have already arrived if she were coming!"
Just as Pete finished his sentence, Mu Beiting’s phone on the table started ringing.
Mu Beiting glanced at the caller ID, and seeing Ye Anxin’s na, he leisurely answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Ye Anxin’s sweet voice ca through, "Uncle...!"
Mu Beiting remained silent.
Ye Anxin was already used to Mu Beiting’s silence, and cheerfully said, "Uncle, I need to study at school during lunch, so I won’t be bringing you any soup. I’ll co ho early after school in the afternoon and make you so soup to bring over! Just have Pete buy you sothing to eat outside for lunch! Rember, make sure he gets you so black fish soup, it helps with your wound healing!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting frowned, a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
Seeing no response from Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin asked uncertainly, "Uncle, are you listening to ?"
After a mont of silence, Mu Beiting responded with a simple, "Hmm."
Fearing Mu Beiting might not have heard her clearly, Ye Anxin repeated again, "Be sure to buy so black fish soup!"
Mu Beiting’s thin lips pressed into a line, and after a long while, he replied with another "Hmm."
Ye Anxin then said, "I’m going to the cafeteria to eat! Hanging up now!"
Mu Beiting responded with a "Hmm," and only after Ye Anxin hung up and he heard the tone did he put away his phone.
Ending the call, Mu Beiting continued with his work diligently, instructing without looking up, "You can go buy food now."
Pete asked uncertainly, "Should I also get a black fish soup for you, Boss?"
Mu Beiting decisively said, "No need!"
"But madam clearly just said...!" Pete glanced at Mu Beiting’s phone, monts ago he had clearly heard the conversation between the boss and madam, where madam had specifically reminded to get black fish soup, and the boss had agreed! So why not buy it now? Could the boss have learned to say one thing and do another?
