My face was flushed with shame and I wished I could dig a hole in the ground. My clothes were pulled up to show my wound. Although only a small piece of skin was visible, I still felt embarrassed.

After the ward rounds were over, Chu Rui's face darkened as the bottom of a pot. He angrily said, "Can't my uncle take them to visit other places? I'm so angry. They've already seen all the places I haven't even seen yet."

I glared at him and asked, "Where do you want to look?"

Chu Rui immediately laughed dryly and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Jingjing, I'm just talking nonsense, don't be angry."

I shook my head: "I know, I'm not angry, and I want to thank you for always sticking with me."

"Of course, you are very important to me. Not only are you my spiritual support, but you are also my partner and may even be my girlfriend in the future..."

As soon as Chu Rui finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open by a big hand.

Ji Mu suddenly walked in. He should have heard what Chu Rui said.

My mind was in a mess, and I immediately stopped Chu Rui from making up stories: "Chu Rui, I said, we are just friends."

There was a hint of inquiry in Ji Mu's eyes when he looked at me.

"Xiao Rui, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll have someone take care of Tang Xi." Ji Mu said slowly.

"Really? I really have something urgent to do. The company has just been established and there are a lot of trivial matters." Chu Rui complained.

Ji Mu nodded: "Yes, leave her to me, you can go and do your work with peace of mind."

My condition is getting better now. As long as the pain in my stomach doesn't feel like a knife cutting, I can still bear the dull pain at the moment.

I also urged Chu Rui: "Business is important. It's okay for me to be alone."

Chu Rui looked at me, then at Ji Mu, and then left with peace of mind.

Ji Mu and I were the only ones left in the ward. Ji Mu checked my medical records. He was clearly looking at the report, but he asked me in a deep voice, "What is your relationship with Xiao Rui?"

I was stunned for a moment, then immediately answered truthfully, "We're just a superior-subordinate relationship right now, Doctor Ji, please don't misunderstand."

Ji Mu's handsome brows knitted together, and the next second, he said, "Xiao Rui has a simple personality. If you're not serious about dating him, don't play tricks on him."

I was shocked. How could this Dr. Ji think that I was playing tricks on Chu Rui?

However, Chu Rui is very concerned about me now. He comes over as soon as I call him. When I am sick, he is anxious to help me contact people. All this proves that Chu Rui cares about me very much.

Of course I know that Chu Rui has never given up wanting to develop further with me, but he is also playful. He may not understand what love is, but he knows what hormones are at play. When he sees someone he likes, he will hide first, and when the next prey appears, he may chase after it. I have long seen that Chu Rui's mind is unstable and he is not suitable for having a relationship at all. He can only be an interesting younger brother.

"Doctor Ji, I think you misunderstood. I have always considered him a friend. I currently work in his company and he is my boss. His care for me is purely out of the concern of a boss for his subordinates..."

Ji Mu looked at me sharply, with an expression that said, "Guess whether I believe it or not."

I was stared at by his deep eyes, and my face turned red involuntarily, probably because I felt guilty.

I avoided his gaze and smiled awkwardly: "Chu Rui said he liked me, but I never took it seriously."

Seeing that I finally admitted it, Ji Mu scoffed, "You're playing with him as easily as playing with a monkey."

I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. Did this Dr. Ji think I was a seasoned lover? No, no, no, this is all a misunderstanding.

"I wasn't kidding him." I had to make that clear.

"You know that he likes you, why don't you stay away from him? What's the difference between what you are doing and keeping him hanging?" Ji Mu said seriously.

I admit that Ji Di clearly explained the relationship between Chu Rui and me.

I bit my lip and confessed honestly, "I want to continue working for him."

Ji Mu reminded me, "Xiao Rui is the future hope of the Chu family. My suggestion is that you leave him and develop elsewhere."

"Why?" I was stunned.

"Let's not talk about whether my sister and brother-in-law will interfere with you. My niece is not someone who can be easily messed with. I know you are greedy for Chu Rui, but if you are too greedy, you will hurt yourself." Ji Mu explained indifferently, hung the sheet back to the end of the bed, slowly leaned down, and supported his hands on the railing at the end of my bed: "Ms. Yin, you are very beautiful, young and charming, but at your age, you should focus on improving yourself. Love is easy for you to get. You have to proceed according to the actual situation."

My eyes must have been filled with astonishment, even a little ashamed. If Su Beicheng saw through my origins, then Ji Mu seemed to have placed a mirror in my soul, and he guessed everything I was thinking.

"Doctor Ji, are you worried that Chu Rui will be hurt by me?" I couldn't help but raise the corners of my lips.

Ji Mu nodded and admitted, "I also have hope for Xiao Rui. He's just grown up and his thoughts and ideas are not mature enough. A failed relationship has a huge impact on him."

At this moment, I suddenly envied Chu Rui. It turned out that his growth was under the expectations and arrangements of all the elders. He moved forward step by step. Even a bad girl like me was not allowed to appear by his side.

I am still somewhat sad inside because of my humble background, but precisely because I was born in a poor land, I must bloom more tenaciously.

"I will consider what Dr. Ji said. When I am discharged from the hospital, I will leave his company." I lowered my head, thought for a while, looked into his eyes seriously and said.

Ji Mu obviously didn't expect that he would persuade me to quit. He looked at me with a gloomy look.

Ji Mu's cold and ruthless appearance aroused my inner desire for challenge.

I heard that to deify the flower of Gaoling is something that every girl dreams of.

Ji Mu is a man who is so cold and indifferent to love. I don’t know what it would be like to steal his heart and make him worry about gains and losses.

"Is Dr. Ji married?" I suddenly asked him with a smile, "You have such a noble profession and such an outstanding appearance, you should have started a family long ago."

Ji Mu frowned slightly, turned his face to the window, and didn't look at me.

I am well aware of the allure of my eyes, which are both innocent and charming, and have been tested by many men in practice.

"Why are you asking about my personal affairs?" His Adam's apple rolled, but his voice remained calm and composed.

I pursed my lips and smiled: "I'm just curious. Doctor Ji is so good at reading people's hearts, so his methods of pursuing girls must be superb as well."

Ji Mu's fingers gripping the guardrail tightened slightly. The next second, he stood up straight, his arms folded across his chest. "I asked you to leave Xiao Rui, and you're unhappy. What's the matter? Do you want to talk to your attending physician?"
