Chapter 20: Is This for Real? (2/2)

Cai Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “You must be the first doctor that’s been forced into such a situation by a patient. Alright, don’t worry too much about it. I’ll help you deal with your department head.”

Cheng Xi instantly found the cause of her headache dissipate and she clasped her hands together in gratitude. “Thank you, professor.”

Cai Yi tended to work quickly; before Cheng Xi’s shift was even over, she had been notified that the department head wouldn’t be inviting her over for tea.

And then, after work, she even saw Lu Chenzhou.

It was drizzling lightly outside then, and he had sent a chauffeur over specifically to pick her up. After driving around for awhile, the car pulled up at an indoor tennis court.

As she pushed the car door open, his ball swerved toward her face; if Cheng Xi’s reflexes had been even a step slower, the ball could have blinded her in one eye.

But instead, the yellow-green ball brushed against Cheng Xi’s temples, hit the doorframe, and bounced back onto the court like a bullet.

Cheng Xi couldn’t help sweating. As she looked at Lu Chenzhou again, he didn’t seem flustered at all. Instead of greeting her, he merely lifted his racket and continued to practice his brutal, fast serves.

Cheng Xi breathed out, trying not to disturb him. Only when he was tired did she finally walk over.

“Mr. Lu, can we talk?”

He wiped the sweat off of his head with a towel, and peered down at her from above. “Are you willing to accept my proposal?”

Truly a machine that won’t stop before reaching his goal.

Cheng Xi stopped going around in circles with him, and directly addressed the issue. “Mr. Lu, I think that you clearly understand that my professor introduced you to me not for us to go on a blind date, but rather for me to assist you as a doctor.”

Lu Chenzhou’s hands stopped moving. He threw down his towel, wiped his smile off of his face, and walked toward her. As he approached, his imposing manner pressured Cheng Xi so much so that she felt like she couldn’t breathe.

He pushed her against the wall, maintaining just a slight bit of distance between them, and placed his hand against the wall. “As a doctor?” He sneered. “Don’t think you’re special just because you’re a doctor. Here’s a question. Do you believe me when I say that I can make your title of “doctor” disappear?”
