Chapter 110: The Gift, Please Accept i (2/2)

The one whom Cheng Xi had designated as her ‘other trouble’ was Lu Chenzhou. His first words were, “You’re at the hospital?”

“Yes.”

And then he hung up. Su Feng raised her eyebrows. “Just that?”

“No.” Cheng Xi stood up. “Our afternoon tea session has to end here. I’m sorry, but I have to go out for a moment.”

And then, before Su Feng could react, Cheng Xi ran off. Su Feng tried to follow her, but only saw a vanishing silhouette running down the stairs.

Cheng Xi quickly ran down two floors and then pressed all the elevator buttons. It was probably because it was New Year’s Eve, but there were quite a number of delivery workers riding the elevators. Only on the third try did Lu Chenzhou appear.

When he saw her, he first looked at the floor number on the elevator before raising his eyebrows at her.

Cheng Xi didn’t even need him to say anything to be at a loss for words.

She looked at the people by his side, who were each carrying a huge bundle of something, and then took a deep breath. “Did you bring all these people with you?”

Lu Chenzhou nodded, and she pulled all of them out. “I’m sorry, but please go back. Go back to where you came from, thank you.”

Lu Chenzhou watched as she bustled about. And when she had finally chased everyone out, he smiled at her, still in the elevator. “Did you think that would be effective? Some people are already upstairs.”

“……”

So all those delivery workers she had seen earlier were his people?!

In the end, Cheng Xi became famous in the hospital once again; her mysterious nouveau riche suitor sent her an entire feast on Lunar New Year’s Eve. It was so much food that even all of her colleagues in the psychiatry department couldn’t finish it. They had to invite all the hospital workers over to help, and only then did everyone witness their plight.

In truth, everything had been sent over by Lu Chenzhou’s grandparents, who were concerned that Cheng Xi had to work even on Lunar New Year’s Eve. So naturally, they had to comfort her with food and drinks.

But Cheng Xi wasn’t comforted; instead, she was somewhat incensed as she dragged Lu Chenzhou outside.

“I have to work, so I have no choice but to accept your good intentions. But with that, you can go back now.” She pushed him into his car forcefully, a rare thing for her.

“But I haven’t given you my present yet.”

“I’ve received all that just now.” Even though she had been forced to do so.

“That’s not from me. That’s from my grandparents.”

“……”

She beat her chest in frustration. “Then what do you want to give me? Let me make this clear: I don’t want food, tools, or any flowers, because storing them and dealing with them is very troublesome.”

Lu Chenzhou nodded obediently.

“Then give it to me.” She stretched out her hand.

Lu Chenzhou rested his head against the window with one palm supporting his lower jaw as he looked at her. “Are you sure that you want to receive it here?”

Under the dim yellow glow of the streetlights, his calm and indifferent expression was unusually handsome, but it only gave Cheng Xi a very bad premonition. After rethinking the situation, she decisively said, “Go to my house first, and I’ll be there shortly.”

This ‘shortly’ ended up being quite long, because when Cheng Xi returned to her department, she received an unprecedented welcome. Even the head nurse, who was on leave, called her to comment on the situation. “How’s your boyfriend going to feel when he hears of this?”

Yes, they all still thought that Lin Fan was her boyfriend.

Her head hurt.

Cheng Xi felt that this Lunar New Year was going to be a horrendous mess, but the truly aggravating incident had yet to come. When she finally got home, she encountered a naked Lu Chenzhou sitting on the sofa with just a blanket to cover himself.

At least he had prepared a blanket for himself, but he had also redecorated her living room. It was quite the sight to behold, adorned with large swathes of red ribbons, the hue so vibrant that it hurt her eyes.

While she stared at the scene open-mouthed, he pulled off his blanket and presented his stark naked body to her. “This gift, please accept it.”

He even dared to act demurely!!!
