Only Fu Yi, a graceful gentleman, although his family background wasn’t as prestigious as the first two, his prospects were no less promising than theirs. She had set her eyes on him from the beginning.
It’s just that, constrained by her own status as a rich and beautiful woman, she was too embarrassed to chase him like an ordinary woman would. After all, with their kind of status, if she succeeded, everyone would offer blessings; if she failed, she would bee a laughingstock in the elite circles.
She couldn’t afford to lose face, nor could the Xu family.
Over the years, she has maintained a distance neither too far nor too close with this man, but she understands the man before her very well.
He is self-disciplined, with sharp means, a rising star in future politics—excellent in every aspect, yet, when it es to women, maintains a perfectly business-like distance.
But his attitude towards Jiang Nuan is different.
If Fu Yi was nearly perfect in her eyes before, then his brief interaction with Jiang Nuan just now was like a deity falling to earth, suddenly being vivid and lively!
A woman’s sixth sense is often very accurate.
She felt that Fu Yi knew Jiang Nuan.
And their relationship was not ordinary!
"Have you and Doctor Jiang been involved before?" Xu Qingrong was in turmoil, the only possibility she could guess was this, she dared not guess anything deeper.
Fu Yi, interrupted from his thoughts when she came in, had already e to his senses, realizing Jiang Nuan had long gone. He was in a foul mood but, mindful of the Xu and Fu family ties, he didn’t leave immediately, though his eyes revealed impatience.
He endured, listening to Xu Qingrong finish her stammering question, raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses. Feeling worsened, he suddenly took the glasses off, revealing the handsome face long hidden behind the lenses. While putting them away, he calmly said, "Qingrong, do you have some misunderstanding about me, or did I ever do something that caused you to misunderstand me?"
Xu Qingrong turned pale, clenching her fists, "No, no."
He scrutinized her face with his narrow, long eyes, perpetually carrying a hint of a smile yet always distant and emotionless, then shifted his gaze away, "Since you have no misunderstanding about me, let’s consider your earlier question unasked."
"It’s late, go back."
Seeing he was about to leave, Xu Qingrong involuntarily blurted out, "What about you?"
Jiang Nuan was leaving, was he also going to leave right after her?
Fu Yi stopped again, turning his face to look at her, causing Xu Qingrong a moment of guilt.
"I..."
The more nervous she got, the more panicked she felt, her mind a mess, she suddenly lifted her head and blurted, "Are you going to find Jiang Nuan?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Yi furrowed his brows abruptly, stopping in his tracks to turn his head back, "Do you have some prejudice against her?"
Xu Qingrong, again tensed under his gaze, clutched her hands, wearing a face of disfort, "No... I just don’t like her. Before you came, Director Zhang and the dean were asking her to stay in the country, yet she displayed an attitude of disdain towards staying here, insisting on going abroad. When Director Zhang asked her why, she was evasive, saying it was personal reasons and she didn’t want to stay in the country. In reality, she just looks down on our medical environment. It made me feel unfortable, so I argued with her a few words just now, it’s not that I have prejudice against her as a person..."
After explaining for a long time, she was still criticizing Jiang Nuan for not wanting to stay in the country. Fu Yi’s eyes were deep, jaw clenched into a line, responding, "She didn’t lie to you, it is indeed personal reasons that she doesn’t want to stay in the country, and that personal reason is me."
Xu Qingrong was suddenly speechless, staring at him in shock.
Fu Yi made no attempt to hide their relationship, bluntly telling her, "Qingrong, I only see you as a sister because of our families’ long acquaintance..."
