294 A Gangster Behind Scholar (1/2)

Ying had completely misunderstood Cali's words. In her mind, Destiny referred to not a person but the general term destiny that she seemed to despise a lot. After all, no matter how hard she tried to achieve something there was always a mysterious thing called destiny that would come between her and her goal.

And most importantly, her hate for this word was because of what her mother told her, ”Xiao Ying, you should stop loving Ah-Li now. Maybe, he wasn't meant to be your destiny.” Those words were the bane of her life. How easy was it for people to say that he wasn't in her destiny. But how come none of those people ever bothered to look at her efforts? How could a thing like destiny mess up her whole life?

Because of this small misunderstanding, Ying was gonna have an outburst but she chose not to since the occasion wasn't right.

”Destiny! As if that can change anything.”

Cali pursed her lips as she was amused by Ying's reaction. The more she looked the more she was surprised by this professor before her. From all her research about this person sitting before her, nothing matched with her personality. In-person, Dr. Yan Ying was a completely different person. She already figured that Ying was like a gangster in the clothes of a scholar but only now she was learning that this gangster was a little too amusing.

”Dr. Yan...”

Ying looked at her as she heard her name and said, ”You can just call me Ying.”

Cali nodded and replied, ”Then you can just address me as Cali. I stopped being a doctor a while ago.”

Ying rolled her eyes as she stated, ”A doctor is still a doctor. Especially one like you who saves lives.” She pointed at herself as she added, ”I don't like it when someone calls me doctor. After all, I'm more suitable for breaking bones than fixing.”

Cali chuckled softly at her words before replying in a serious tone, ”Ying when I said destiny... I meant Destiny Novell. My one and only cousin.”

Now, it was Ying's turn to frown. ”Destiny Novell? Your cousin?” Cali nodded her head and Ying's frown deepened. She picked up her phone and scrolled to a document and showed it to Cali. ”But in your family registry, Destiny Novell is registered as your sister. As your father's second daughter. How did she become your cousin?”

Cali languidly took a bite of the pasta and frowned, ”Eee. This doesn't even have the Italian taste. How can they fool people with this?”

Ying shook her head. ”Hey! We are having an important discussion!! How can you talk about the inauthenticity of Italian pasta's taste in this situation?”
