Inside the private room.
Ren Xiya swirled her teacup, thought for a moment, and spoke before Li Huan.
"If you want to get married, you can."
"Really?"
Li Huan was taken aback, thinking Ren Xiya had finally realized his merits beyond the bedroom.
Ren Xiya said calmly, "You’ve been with me for so long, if you get married, I’ll definitely give a big red envelope."
What?
Li Huan clutched his chest, nearly spitting blood.
He was a bit angry too.
"Should I thank you for your generosity?"
"No need, it’s the least I can do," Ren Xiya replied.
"What do you see me as?" Li Huan asked seriously.
"A bed companion."
"..."
He almost spat blood.
Why suffer such humiliation?
Li Huan coughed a couple of times.
Ren Xiya propped up her chin and said seriously, "I won’t change my plans. If you feel uncomfortable, we can stop, and you can live the life you want."
Li Huan sighed, "You don’t date, nor do you get married?"
"Mm, I just got a foothold in the Gong Group. What happens next is hard to say," Ren Xiya explained.
"Why do you insist on fighting tooth and nail in the Gong Group?"
Li Huan shook his head.
He thought Ren Xiya was living too hard.
But Ren Xiya rarely smiled.
"In this world, what job isn’t a struggle? Even you as a doctor are fighting with death, aren’t you?"
"In the past, I indeed wanted to prove myself, but now I really like my job. I’m not a model wife."
"Since I’m not, I won’t waste time on such choices."
"Li Huan, like you, I’m striving for my career. You enjoy saving people, I like making money."
Li Huan was silent for a few seconds.
Suddenly, he stared at Ren Xiya.
"If you’re not getting married, neither will I."
"Li Huan, you don’t need to..."
"This is my choice too," Li Huan smiled, "Are you going to eat? If not, I’ll take you home."
Ren Xiya didn’t dwell on it, nodded and stood up.
"Let’s go. They should’ve left too."
On the way back, Li Huan’s phone suddenly rang.
"Can you check it for me? I’m driving."
Ren Xiya, who had been resting her eyes, opened them and picked up the phone from the holder.
It was Gu Yingxi.
Ren Xiya held up the phone, "Dr. Gu."
Li Huan said directly, "Answer it, maybe it’s about the hospital."
Ren Xiya answered the call.
"Dr. Gu, is there something you need?"
"It’s Nina, she can’t stop thinking about that cake of yours. She’s been pestering me about it, so I wanted to ask if you’re free this afternoon. I’ll pay if necessary; I just don’t want her disappointed."
Gu Yingxi always considers her child, which indeed sounded a bit pitiable.
Ren Xiya didn’t speak, waiting for Li Huan to respond.
Even though she said he was overly nice, he wasn’t dumb.
Li Huan said, "I remember you’ll be bringing Nina to work tomorrow. Just so happens I owe the head nurse and others an afternoon tea. I’ll buy more then so everyone gets a treat."
Gu Yingxi was silent for a few seconds.
If Ren Xiya guessed right, she must have gone to find Nina.
So before Nina could speak, Ren Xiya deliberately coughed twice.
Gu Yingxi immediately said, "Who’s that?"
Li Huan took advantage of a red light, looked at Ren Xiya, and laughed, "My girlfriend."
Ren Xiya was briefly stunned, then pinched his waist.
Li Huan dodged, "I’m driving."
Hearing Li Huan’s cheerful voice, Gu Yingxi could only change her tone, "Then I won’t disturb you, see you tomorrow."
"Mm."
Li Huan signaled for Ren Xiya to hang up the call.
Ren Xiya put down the phone but didn’t move the hand that was on his waist.
