The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

"I really admire Auntie's acting skills. It's such a waste that she's not an actress; she has such a good speaking ability. Even though she's so heartbroken, she can still speak so clearly and coherently. Next time you call... just don't bother me. You can fend for yourself; I won't take care of you!" Mingyuan hung up the phone after saying that.

Talking to this woman was a waste of his time. Every time he answered the phone, she gave him all sorts of excuses and lies. He couldn't be bothered with her. He went downstairs to wait for Xu Ruo and Yun Shu to come down so they could go out for dinner together.

Yun Shu waited for a long time at the office door, wondering why A Ruo hadn't arrived yet. It was already twenty minutes past the end of the workday, and she had called her more than an hour ago. A Ruo's home was less than half an hour from the hospital, even with traffic sometimes. Could something have happened to A Ruo again? She quickly called her, repeatedly hoping that nothing bad had happened to her.

The phone call could be heard from behind, then it stopped abruptly, indicating that the other party had hung up. Yun Shu turned around and saw that it really was Xu Ruo. She said irritably, "You scared me to death! Why did it take you so long to get here?"

"Ah...oh...well, there was a traffic jam on the way!" Xu Ruo's eyes flickered as she made up a reason to get away with it.

"Wait, what happened to your lips? They're so swollen..." Yun Shu looked at Xu Ruo's hesitant manner, noticing that her lips were more vibrant than usual, even redder and more swollen than if she had applied lipstick. "Tell me honestly, did you go see your Dr. Chen again? Did you cheat on him and that's why you're so late! I wonder who was crying and making a scene a few days ago, insisting on breaking up with her doctor, losing her appetite, looking haggard and miserable!"

"Haha... It's not as serious as you make it out to be... Ah... Shu already knows, why expose him? It's embarrassing. He's already explained what's going on between him and Xiao Qiu. I'll tell you later, you'll never guess their relationship, hehe. Let's go now, he's treating us to a big meal, he's waiting for us in the parking lot." Xu Ruo said, blushing and laughing awkwardly.

"Walk slower!" Yun Shu's knees hurt, so she couldn't walk fast, and every step was painful.

When Xu Ruo saw Yun Shu walking with a limp, she suddenly realized and said, "I forgot about what happened to you, Shu. How serious is it? You can walk, so you didn't break any bones, right? Let me help you!"

"You've forgotten all about me because you're attracted to beautiful women, and only now do you remember that I'm injured."

"No way, I dreamt about you last night!"

"No, you'd better dream about your doctor. I can understand that," Yun Shu said irritably. What a friend who forgets his friends for the sake of a pretty face.

The two chatted until they reached the door, where Yun Shu was waiting. Xu Ruo drove the car to Yun Shu's side so she could get in and avoid having to walk any further.

Xu Ruo followed Chen Mingyuan's car in her own car, but she wasn't as skilled as him and drove very carefully behind him.

They arrived shortly afterward, and Mingyuan led them to a restaurant not far from the hospital. The restaurant wasn't large, but it looked clean and elegant. It was lunchtime, and there were quite a few people eating inside.

Fortunately, the car was on the first floor, so she parked it outside the door. Although Yun Shu's knees hurt, it was only a few steps away.

When they came in, Chen Mingyuan ordered some dishes, but because Yun Shu was injured, he mainly ordered light dishes.

Seeing Yun Shu's gait, Chen Mingyuan knew her injury was probably serious, so he asked her, "Have you applied any medicine?"

"I've already been treated, and I even got an anti-inflammatory injection."

"Tsk tsk, I'm most afraid of injections. When I'm sick, I'd rather take medicine." Xu Ruoyi recalled a time when she was sick and had a high fever, and ended up having to get two IV drips. She still vividly remembered how painful it was.

"Getting a shot will help you recover faster; sometimes you have to get one," Chen Mingyuan said, glaring at Xu Ruo, speaking up for Yun Shu.

"Ah Ruo! It's okay. Next time you're sick, let Mingyuan help you with the injections, it definitely won't hurt!" Yun Shu said with a smile.

“Hmm! That’s a good idea,” Mingyuan agreed.

Xu Ruo glanced at the person next to her, thinking that it wouldn't work if this person stuck a needle in her buttocks or arm! She had already been pricked before, although this needle was different from the previous one, and she couldn't help but blush again.

Chen Mingyuan noticed the woman beside him blush inexplicably; she was definitely thinking dirty thoughts again. The thought of that sexy little butt getting an injection... well... Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but cough awkwardly and snapped, "Eat your food!"

Yun Shu watched the couple with a smile from across the way. Chen Mingyuan was simply Aruo's nemesis. Aruo had changed a lot since she started dating him. She grew her hair long, dressed up, and her temperament and appearance became more and more ladylike. She was also very tall, and she was no less impressive than a typical model when she walked outside.

The three of them stopped talking and focused on eating. Yun Shu thought it best not to come out to eat with them next time; it was like being a third wheel, which was really uncomfortable. Look, Chen Mingyuan is putting another piece of meat on A Ruo's plate to coax her to eat. These two could have been giving each other the silent treatment for a week before; nobody would believe it if you told them.

The three of them finished eating quickly. Yun Shu's legs hurt, so she couldn't eat much. Xu Ruo and Chen Mingyuan ate most of the food. Chen Mingyuan had to work in the afternoon and couldn't stay with Xu Ruo any longer, which made Xu Ruo a little unhappy.

Doctors don't get many holidays. Sometimes, even when they do get a day off, the hospital is too busy for them to take time off. It's a very demanding profession.

"Sweetie! Come find me tonight!" Chen Mingyuan said to Yun Shu as they pulled Xu Ruo to a more secluded spot in the car. The two were too embarrassed to flirt in front of Yun Shu.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruo frowned and said, "Go away! Who wants to see you? I have to keep the old man company tonight."

He patted her head, ignoring her dissatisfied tone, and said, "By the way, how is your dad's health?" Hearing her mention his father, Mingyuan remembered that Xu Yang seemed to be sick a while ago. Xu Yang's health wasn't very good either; he had encountered Xu Ruo's illness several times during their relationship.

"His joints are always aching, especially on rainy days. After getting caught in the rain last time, his rheumatoid arthritis seems to have gotten worse. Sigh! My dad worked so hard for the family when he was young. Once, he was soaked to the bone but still working on a construction site. He developed arthritis after that. His friend gave me a health regimen list, which I was originally going to show to Ashu for her to check. Here! Take a look and see if it's suitable." Xu Ruo pulled out a prescription she had brought with her from her bag.
