Lu Yang took two steps. She then stopped and turned around to say, “We don’t need to schedule therapy sessions anymore. I’ll talk to Cixing about it.”

He Kongqing’s gaze followed Lu Yang’s figure, and a hint of bitterness escaped his lips.

Lu Yang handled things with a sense of priority and urgency, and her thinking was clear. Even he could only follow her lead.

Psychological therapy, whether overt or covert, was impossible to carry out.

Lu Yang was busy all morning and only had some free time close to lunchtime. She changed her clothes and passed by the nurse’s station, where the duty nurse called out to her, “Dr. Lu, there’s a man waiting for you in your office.”

“Okay, I got it. Thank you,” Lu Yang replied with a smile. She walked into her office and saw Jin Yao, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time. He was leaning with drooping eyelids, staring at the pen on her desk.

Her genuine smile turned into a distant, polite smile.

When Jin Yao saw her, he immediately stood up straight and raised an eyebrow playfully. “Hey.”

Lu Yang asked straightforwardly, “Do you have something to talk to me about?” “I haven’t seen you at the hospital lately. Where have you been?” Jin Yao asked.

Lu Yang stared at him without blinking, as if saying, “If you have something, say it quickly, don’t talk about irrelevant things.”

Jin Yao scratched his cheek and smirked, “Of course, I have something to talk to you about.”

Lu Yang glanced at him, and Jin Yao promptly straightened his posture and stated, “Be my girlfriend, and you can do whatever you want in Yonkers.”

Noticing his choice of words, he added, “I will never treat you badly!”

Lu Yang walked past him and stood in front of her desk, not taking his confession seriously. “I don’t need that.”

“I’ve planned it all out. We’ll date for a few months, meet my parents during

Chinese New Year, get engaged, and choose an auspicious day to get married.” Jin Yao declared, “I’ve prepared the red envelope for my parents!”

Lu Yang was rendered speechless.

“If it were ancient times, your family would have received the betrothal gifts long ago,” Jin Yao blabbered on, moving his head a bit as the black diamond earring on his ear caught the eye. He continued, “I’ll talk to your older brother. He doesn’t agree with our marriage now, but he’ll definitely agree in a few days.”

When Lu Mingyu was mentioned, Lu Yang remembered their fight last time. Although the matter was handled properly and fizzled out before it escalated, it was still quite a strange fight.

“Why did you and Mingyu fight?” she looked at him and asked directly.

Jin Yao evaded the question, “If my brother-in-law is happy, I can fight with my brother-in-law a few more times!”

I’m serious.”

“Let me think.” Jin Yao pondered seriously for a while, and then said, “Lu Mingyu has a bit of a misunderstanding of me. He thinks I treat you poorly, so he scolded me.”

Lu Yang understood it more or less.

Jin Yao was a ruffian, appearing difficult to deal with, much like those who bully the weak and fear the strong in school. Lu Mingyu probably thought that Jin Yao had been bullying her.

Jin Yao thought Lu Yang was silent because she was concerned about their strained relationship. He said, “1 won’t blame my brother-in-law. He and I will love each other.”

Lu Yang quickly tidied up her things, and her phone on the table blinked. She glanced at it and saw a message from Lu Mingyu.

“Yangyang, I have asked the restaurant staff to be ready at any time. You’ll be able to eat hot and delicious food soon.”

Initially, Lu Mingyu would remotely place the order, and she would go eat directly. However, Lu Yang sometimes wanted to try other dishes, so she would discuss them with him and order separately.

Her three meals a day were mostly taken care of by Lu Mingyu.

Lu Yang tapped her fingers on the screen, replied to the message, and then looked up at Jin Yao. She directly rejected him, “I’m not single now, so stop calling Mingyu your brother-in-law. Mingyu won’t be your brother-in-law.” “Huh?” Jin Yao’s pupils shook. “What does it mean that you’re not single?”

“I meant it literally.”

With Jin Yao, she had to reject him directly, or else he would think she was giving him a chance.

Lu Yang grabbed her bag after saying that and walked out of the office. She bumped into He Kongqing in the corridor, who was going to have lunch.

The two of them locked eyes for a few seconds, exchanged a few greetings, and Jin Yao caught up with them.

“Lu Yang, are you together with him?” Jin Yao looked at He Kongqing with hostility. “Where did you come from?”

He Kongqing was well aware of the relationship between Lu Yang and Jin Yao.

It was nothing more than a youth story where the arrogant school bully gradually succumbed.

He Kongqing was also present at the turning point of Jin Yao’s feelings for Lu Yang.

In that year, Jin Yao was framed by a so-called “model student” and sent to the police station. No matter how he defended himself, no one believed him, not even his own father.

Everyone said Jin Yao was completely rotten, but only she stood up to defend him.

He was a bad kid, but she saw his idealistic side.

Since then, Lu Yang became a beam of light spreading through the darkness, lingering in her heart and unable to be shaken away.

Jin Yao’s eyes were filled with hostility as if saying, “Who do you think you are? How dare you touch me?”

“Jin Yao, you haven’t changed a bit in all these years.” He Kongqing said calmly, with a cold smile on his face.

Caught off guard by the sudden approach of his rival, Jin Yao was bewildered. Lu Yang’s gaze swept past, and she silently greeted Gu Liye, who was watching the scene nearby.

She was at a loss for words, and she mused, “When did Senior Brother become so curious about gossip?

He Kongqing explained, “We’ve met a few times before, but you’ve probably forgotten.”

Jin Yao cursed in his heart at the nonsense of having met before, and with an unfriendly look, he asked, “Are you Lu Yang’s boyfriend?”

He Kongqing replied, “No.”

Jin Yao thought inwardly, “He’s not?!”

“You two can catch up slowly. I’ll head off first.”

Gu Liye’s gaze followed Lu Yang’s figure. As she took a step forward, he suddenly stopped. He followed her line of sight and looked over- –

A few meters away stood a man wearing a mask and a peaked cap. His appearance was unclear, but Gu Liye recognized him. He was none other than Jiang Yanzhou.

The man’s intuition told him that Jiang Yanzhou’s expression definitely lacked any warmth, and his gaze was gloomy.

Gu Liye raised his hand to his Bluetooth earpiece and whispered, “Mdm. Gu, it’s happening in real time. Jiang Yanzhou has appeared. It seems like my junior sister’s complicated relationships are escalating once again..”
