Chapter 29 sThe Gentleman in Whites, Ye Tianming (1/2)

Li Chunlan's operation was very successful. Since morning, Xiao Bing had been accompanying Li Chunlan in the ward. They had been talking a lot, mostly about Su Peiya and her affairs in the army. Li Chunlan missed her daughter very much.

As could be seen, Li Chunlan was in a good mood. But Xiao Bing knew in his heart that even though the operation was successful, she wouldn't be able to survive for more than two years. He didn't have to tell Li Chunlan right now, but he needed to find a good time to let Su Xiaoxiao know. However, many things happened with Su Xiaoxiao recently, and she had suffered quite a bit. How exactly could he bring this up with Su Xiaoxiao?

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Chunlan smiled and urged, ”Xiaoxiao is coming soon, Lil' Bing, you don't have to stay here with me. The noodle house needs you there.”

Xiao Bing stood up with a smile, ”Aunt, don't worry. I will take good care of the noodle house. Things will be fine. I'll visit you later.”

”Okay, take your time on your way back.”

Xiao Bing left the ward and just walked to the stairs when he met Zhang Yizhi, who was walking up the stairs. Xiao Bing smiled and said, ”Mr. Zhang, thanks to you, this operation was successful.”

Zhang Yizhi said in a light voice, ”Since it was Peiya's mother, it was an exception I had to make. Tomorrow I am heading back to Jing Du City. You don't need to see me off.”

”You are going back so soon?” Xiao Bing got stunned, ”Why don't you stay a bit longer? Are you leaving now?”

Zhang Yizhi said grumpily, ”What would I do here alone? Someone invited me to dinner, but he sneaked off halfway.”

Xiao Bing was in the wrong. He smiled awkwardly and said, ”Emm... I was caught up with something that day. Mr. Zhang, is it okay if I make amends with you and treat you to dinner in another restaurant tonight?”

”Okay.” Zhang Yizhi thought for a moment and said, ”Since I am leaving tomorrow and it's going to be a while before we meet next time, we should have dinner together tonight. I am going to check on the condition of Peiya's mother. So far, she seems to be recovering well. She could check out in around half a month.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, ”That's settled then. I'll call you later. It's my treat tonight.”

Xiao Bing left the hospital and walked to the door of the Xiaoxiao Noodle House. Li Hong came out from the house, pouted her lips at Xiao Bing and whispered, ”Someone inside is looking for you. He looks like a rich young master.”

”A rich young master?” Xiao Bing smiled. ”I don't know any rich people in Jiang City.”

Xiao Bing followed Li Hong and went in. Looking in the direction pointed out by Li Hong, he saw a young man in white shirt and white trousers about his age sitting on the chair reading a newspaper. Because the young man was reading with his head lowered, only the outline of his face could be seen. However, even so, for a woman, she would still be attracted to him, either by his natural and unrestrained temperament or the perfect curve of his face.

When Xiao Bing walked up to him, he raised his head and stood up with a smile on his face. He seemed very polite. Also, his face had a warm smile that made people feel familiar. Even someone who wasn't acquainted with him would still feel like he was a good friend.

”Are you Xiao Bing?” The young man reached out his hand and smiled modestly, ”My name is Ye Tianming. I am Ye Xinyi's younger brother.”

They were children of the same mother, but Ye Tianming was much less arrogant than Ye Xinyi. Xiao Bing felt pleased and also reached out his hand with a smile, ”Hello, I'm Xiao Bing.”

The two men looked at each other, sizing each other up. They both had a good impression of each other. As a son born into a rich and influential family, Ye Tianming had read countless people ever since he was a kid. He could sense that there was something unique about Xiao Bing compared to ordinary people, even at a glance. So, it wasn't surprising that his sister couldn't handle this man.

Ye Tianming smiled and said, ”Because I didn't have Mr. Xiao's contact information, I could only take the liberty of disturbing Mr. Xiao here. I want to invite Mr. Xiao to have a meal, is that convenient? If not, we can change it to another time.”

He said this appropriately, which not only displayed his good manners but also showed respect for Xiao Bing. It was a hard invitation to decline.

'Be nice to me, and I will be nicer to you.' - This was Xiao Bing's attitude. He thought for a moment. And it was already lunchtime. So he agreed with a smile, ”Okay, where?”

Ye Tianming asked, ”Where do you think is better? Should we find another place, or we should dine in the Noodle House of yours?”

Xiao Bing laughed, ”Don't worry about the business here. A guest should suit the convenience of the host. Anywhere you like is okay with me. I am not paying anyway.”

The two men looked at each other and burst out laughing. Ye Tianming smiled and said, ”Well, I've already booked a private room at Longjia Hotel. It's nearby. If we don't get there by 12 o'clock, they will cancel the room. It's still early. Should we go there now?”

”Sure.”

Ye Tianming smiled and said, ”Give me a second.”

He took up the newspaper on the table and folded it. Then he smiled and said with the newspaper in his hands, ”Let's go.”
