After the female supporting role is quickly put on, she is full of charm

Jiang Chi has a habit of being a jerk, and Lin Qingyan always teases him about it. Now he's used to Lin Qingyan's disdain.

Jiang Chi, shameless as ever, said, "Miss Yao, do you have time? I happen to be off this afternoon, and I'd like to invite you to have lunch together."

Azhi glanced at Jiang Chi with a puzzled look.

It's quite strange that such an invitation comes out of the blue when the two people have absolutely no connection.

However, when she glanced at Lin Qingyan and saw the dissatisfaction on his face, Azhi immediately made up her mind.

The next second she showed a shy smile, and then nodded gently to Jiang Chi.

"OK."

The two of them went over everything in front of him: where they were going, what they were eating, and what dietary restrictions they had.

Lin Qingyan felt a slight headache.

In the afternoon, Azhi and Jiang Chi arrived at the restaurant, accompanied by Lin Qingyan.

Jiang Chi couldn't understand why Lin Qingyan had followed him. Wasn't he a workaholic? How could a workaholic leave his post like this?

"You're willing to leave the hospital to eat out today? I thought you were going to stay in the hospital forever."

Lin Qingyan is simply a model doctor. He even stays at his post while eating. Several times, Jiang Chi invited him to go out to eat, but Lin Qingyan refused without hesitation.

They've been working together for so long, but the number of times they've gone out to eat together can be counted on one hand.

"Since you're treating me to dinner, of course I'm coming along. I can't let this opportunity to extort money slip by."

Jiang Chi felt like he had punched cotton, leaving him with an indescribable feeling.

Jiang Chi was so angry at Lin Qingyan, who was acting like a third wheel, that he wanted to grind his teeth in frustration.

Ah Zhi, standing to the side, seemed quite natural. It was all about eating, so what difference did it make who she ate with?

Jiang Chi is good at providing emotional value; during the meal, his attention was entirely on A-Zhi.

He can immediately sense what Azhi needs and responds very quickly.

The two of them had quite a lot to talk about, which left Lin Qingyan, who was standing next to them, unable to get a word in edgewise.

Watching the two chatting happily, Lin Qingyan felt as if she were chewing wax, and the delicious food in front of her became tasteless.

Jiang Chi was very humorous, and A-Zhi was amused by him and giggled.

"I didn't expect Dr. Jiang to be so fast with the internet and know about these things. I thought all doctors were like Dr. Lin, serious and dedicated to their work."

"Serious? You mean a dead fish face, right? Lin Qingyan is like that. She likes to keep a straight face, just like the old-fashioned boyfriends described online."

Jiang Chi made the joke without any restraint, but he wasn't wrong.

Lin Qingyan's life is not easy. He has to be extremely serious about everything. He always has a serious face, which shows that he takes his life very seriously.

He had received praise more than once, but now, listening to Jiang Chi say that he was serious, he felt incredibly nervous.

He looked at Azhi, as if trying to discern her attitude from her face.

However, he was destined to be disappointed, and Ah Zhi smiled slightly and changed the subject.

The meal was very enjoyable. Azhi and Jiang Chi exchanged contact information and made plans to go out together next time.

Lin Qingyan couldn't describe the feeling in her heart; it was a bittersweet, somewhat uncomfortable one.

Azhi noticed that Lin Qingyan's expression was not good, and immediately whispered to Jiang Chi, "Is Dr. Lin unhappy? Why does she look a little upset?"

"He's probably troubled by love. He has a childhood sweetheart who's been away for a while. Seeing us chatting so happily, he must be missing her, which is why he looks so preoccupied."

Even though Azhi didn't show any interest in Lin Qingyan.

Jiang Chi still kept a watchful eye.

It's worth noting that there was a mix-up earlier; a girl who initially pursued him ended up switching her attention after seeing Lin Qingyan.

Jiang Chi did not like the other person, but that did not mean he was comfortable with it.

In what ways can I not compare to Lin Qingyan?

She was just as good-looking as him, and her family background was far superior to his.

Jiang Chi didn't want Lin Qingyan to become an obstacle in his path.

Lin Qingyan, who was standing nearby, naturally heard Jiang Chi's words. He looked at Jiang Chi and corrected him, "I'm not doing this for Zhang Yun'an. I'm doing this for Grandma. Grandma is going to have surgery soon, and I'm a little worried about her."

Grandma Lin has cancer and has only survived this long thanks to a special treatment. The surgery was just to prolong her life.

In reality, she doesn't have much time left to live. Doctors estimate she has at most five years, or at least one or two years. The surgery is simply to extend her lifespan.

Azhi was immediately drawn to Lin Qingyan's words.

"Is Dr. Lin's grandmother sick? Is it serious? No wonder Dr. Lin looks so pale. You should get more rest and not overwork yourself."

She had been calling him "Brother Lin" all along, but now she was calling him "Dr. Lin" all the time, trying to create such a distance between them.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyan gritted her teeth.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Yao. My grandmother is doing quite well now."

After eating and drinking her fill, Ah Zhi said she was leaving.

Jiang Chi quickly asked, "Let me take you home. It's not safe for a girl to be out alone. I happen to have a car."

After he finished speaking, he turned the car keys in his hand.

Lin Qingyan, who was standing to the side, did not want the two to have much contact. She knew that Jiang Chi said he liked Zhang Yun'an, but he had had one girlfriend after another over the years.

He knew that Jiang Chi was the type of guy girls liked, both in terms of family background and looks.

"The dean is having a meeting for our department this afternoon. Are you going to skip it?"

"A meeting? No need. I've already taken leave. If the dean has any complaints, I'll apologize in person. Lily accepted my invitation to have dinner together, so I can't let her go back alone now."

Is this what they call someone by their nickname?

Lin Qingyan could hardly believe her ears.

The key point is that Ah-zhi accepted it readily, and she even had a shy smile on her face.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Jiang. Dr. Lin, we'll be going now."

Was I just abandoned like this?

Lin Qingyan was somewhat incredulous and could only watch helplessly as Azhi and Jiang Chi left, the two of them chatting and laughing.

Jiang Chi was in high spirits when he came to work the next day.

"Lin Qingyan, I'm about to find a partner. Do you know how well Yao Li and I match? We look good together, and our family backgrounds are even more compatible."

“Yesterday I went home and told my parents that I want to pursue Yao Li. Once we are together, I will completely settle down.”

"This is a feeling of impulse I haven't had in a long time. We talked all night last night. She is a very good girl, and I like her very much. This Sunday is her birthday, and I need to think about what birthday present to prepare."
