C64 (2/2)

For several days straight, there was no news of Chu Lingyu. It was as if he had disappeared from his life.

However, Aunt Ling's concern, as well as the driver who had been waiting outside everyday and the daily supplies, all meant that Chu Lingyu was here.

Finally, Xu Chencan could no longer take it anymore. With a pale face, she came down from the second floor and weakly called out, ”Aunt Ling.”

”When will Ling Yu return?”

She felt that she should properly talk to Chu Lingyu. She could no longer endure this kind of torture.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Aunt Ling covered her mouth and laughed. She then put on a worried expression. ”I don't know either. Since the owner hasn't said anything yet, we shouldn't ask too much, right?”

Seeing that she didn't know either, Xu Chencan lowered his head in disappointment, playing with his fingers.

That night, on the other side of the Earth, Chu Lingyu received the news. However, he only pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Aunt Ling sighed and said disapprovingly, ”If you do this, you'll only push the opponent further and further away.”

Chu Lingyu only smiled and did not say any superfluous words.

From the very beginning, it was Xu Chencan who was resisting him.

Chu Lingyu turned off the video and took out her phone to look at Xu Chencan's photo. She sighed helplessly. She really did not know where to start with Xu Chencan.

Another week passed, and just when Xu Chencan thought that he would never appear again, Chu Lingyu appeared in the dining room, eating breakfast.

”Ling Yu.” Xu Chencan walked over in surprise and called out to him.

Chu Lingyu raised his head and looked at her expressionlessly, ”You're going to be late.”

Xu Chencan was stunned. She looked back helplessly. Aunt Ling was not here. No one could help her.

”Then I'll go to work first.” In the end, Xu Chencan was the one who calmed down. After speaking to Chu Lingyu in embarrassment, he immediately ran outside.

Just as she turned around, Chu Lingyu put down the tableware in her hands and called out to Aunt Ling.

After Aunt Ling understood, she brought out the already packaged breakfast and handed it to Xu Chencan with a smile.

Knowing that this was Chu Lingyu's intention, Xu Chencan turned around and glanced at him. Seeing him lower his head, Xu Chencan thanked him in a low voice.

After reaching his office, Xu Chencan rubbed his phone, seemingly hesitating over something.

”ChenCan.” Xue Tianning appeared behind Xu Chencan at some point and couldn't help but let out a cry when he saw that she was staring at her phone.

”Dr. Shay?” Seeing that it was Xue Tianning, Xu Chencan stood up in panic, hiding his phone behind his back. He said with a slightly embarrassed expression, ”Isn't Doctor Xue resting today?”

Xue Tianning smiled faintly and looked meaningfully at the hands behind her back. ”Someone came to the hospital and the dean told me to come over.”

”ChenCan, are you free tonight?” Seeing that she didn't seem interested in what he had said, Xue Tianning changed the topic. ”Doctor Wei's birthday. Let's go together if we have time.”

Xu Chencan was flabbergasted. Xue Tianning had always been cold towards such things, why would he attend the birthday party of a colleague that wasn't very good?

Xue Tianning pretended not to see Xu Chencan's doubt as he looked directly into Xu Chencan's eyes and said calmly, ”I saw that you were in a bad mood a few days ago. You should have gone for a walk.”

Receiving such an explanation, Xu Chencan subconsciously shook his head.

”ChenCan.” The smile on Xue Tianning's face gradually faded as he grew serious. ”Since you're already a member of the hospital, you should build a good relationship with your colleague. This will be beneficial to your future.”

Upon hearing that it was related to his future, Xu Chencan hesitated. However, she still wanted to go back and improve their relationship.

Sensing her wavering, Xue Tianning continued, ”Even if you're Lady Chu, the people here won't buy into your account. If you have the ability, then go and fight for it yourself.”

His words gave Xu Chencan a heavy blow. She bit her lip, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded her head.
