<strong>Capítulo 1436: Chapter 1449</strong>


    “Why are you at the hospital? It’s not working hours, is it?” Lu Fei asked.


    An Ruoxi was just as puzzled about Lu Fei’s appearance at the hospital, “Lu?”


    She nced at Wei Yu standing beside her, who seemed detached from everything, with his hands in his pockets and gaze wandering somewhere.


    “Oh, Ruoxi is here too? Are you off work today, or did thepany let you go?” Meng Jia walked slowly over to Lu Fei with a medical record in her hand, affectionately linking her arm with Lu Fei’s, looking delicate and frail.


    “What are you talking about!” An Ruoxi shot a sharp look at Meng Jia.


    “An Ruoxi, aren’t you leaving?” Wei Yu looked at his watch, finally turned around and called out, his tone full of displeasure.


    “Humph!” An Ruoxi red fiercely at Meng Jia, then strode over to Wei Yu’s side, “Let’s go.”


    Meng Jia stared at the man beside An Ruoxi—wasn’t that Wei Yu? She hadn’t even noticed him before. Did theye to the hospital together? Her eyes shifted cunningly, a smirk momentarily shed across her lips, and she turned swiftly to call out to An Ruoxi, “Oh, Ruoxi! What a coincidence, huh! And who is this gentleman beside you?”


    While speaking, she blocked An Ruoxi’s path, sizing up Wei Yu. “Got yourself a boyfriend? Aren’t you going to introduce him? Did you bring him to visit your mother?”


    An Ruoxi rolled her eyes inwardly towards heaven. Why is this person so annoying? Boyfriend? Visiting… visiting!


    Oh no! Can’t let Wei Yu know mom’s hospitalized!


    “You both have things to do, you go ahead. We’re leaving now.” With that, An Ruoxi pulled Wei Yu’s arm and started walking briskly.


    “Hey, hey, hey, don’t rush off! We’ve bumped into each other, so why not have a meal together?”


    “No time.”


    Just as An Ruoxi was about to reject, Wei Yu coldly tossed out the two words, making An Ruoxi look up at him gratefully, giving him a big thumbs up.


    “Hear that? No time.”


    Feeling victorious, An Ruoxi linked arms with Wei Yu, lifted her chin proudly, and walked off with a swagger.


    “Lu Fei, is this the good friend who you’ve yed with since you were little? How’s that? Disappointed?”


    Meng Jia dropped her fawning expression, ring fiercely at An Ruoxi’s back. Just her? Why!


    Standing behind Meng Jia, Lu Fei paused, subtly fierce eyes watching their intimate picture.


    So rare to have a chance to be alone with Wei Yu, should I really let this slip away?


    Standing by the roadside, An Ruoxi stomped her foot and mumbled to herself; her stomach grumbling restlessly.


    She patted her tummy, a sly grin crept in, “Got it!”


    A shy white sports car had been idling in front of An Ruoxi for a minute now, two honks snapped her back to reality.


    “What are you thinking about?”


    After getting into the car, Wei Yu asked irritably. He had seen this girl chuckling to herself from afar, oblivious to him stopping the car by her side.


    “No, nothing.”


    Seeing Wei Yu’s side profile, An Ruoxi thought about how well-defined his features were, elegantly controlling the steering wheel with one hand; sheer elegance and poise couldn’t merely be captured by the word handsome.


    “Hey!” Wei Yu waved his hand in front of her, “Am I really that nice to look at?”


    The next second, all her wonderful fantasies were dashed away to the Bund’s twisting bends by his words.


    An Ruoxi sat straight, annoyed at herself for her moment of infatuation. Why doesn’t she ever learn? How did she swoon again!


    Wait, swooning over him might make him think she’s captivated by his handsome looks…


    But, from every angle, he doesn’t seem like he’s part of the looks-only club…


    “So that’s why you like me so much?”


    “Huh?” An Ruoxi was stunned—like him?!


    “Ah, of course! Haha, ha, you’re so handsome, of course, people would like you, hahahe.”


    Ah, blegh! Whoever likes you is blind!


    “By the way, President Wei, are we heading back to thepany now?”


    Trying to please him, An Ruoxi sped her hands together pitifully, “I’m hungry, how about I treat you to something?”


    Staring at Wei Yu, who wasmanding and dressed in a suit and tie, she wondered if bringing him to that kind of ce for a meal would have people gawking like he’s a monkey?


    An Ruoxi started imagining scenarios, giggling to herself, forgetting the person involved was still in the car, looking at her as if she were ridiculous.


    “Ahem, President Wei, let me treat you to a meal. Please, let’s create an unforgettable memory; I guarantee it’ll be lifelong memorable.”


    “Speaking of meals, as I recall, someone still owes me one.”


    An Ruoxi’s eyes twitched, his tone seemed to be implying her…


    Looking at his expression, could he really mean her?


    Mealtime?


    Mealtime?


    Mealtime!


    An Ruoxi suddenly pped her forehead, remembering!


    “Ah, yes! I owe you a meal!”


    An Ruoxi realized, now deting like salted veggies, he’s really holding a grudge.


    “So, what are you nning to treat me with this time?”


    “Let’s go to Xingfu Street, number 17.”


    Upon hearing the address, Wei Yu’s brows furrowed tightly together, Xingfu Street…what kind of ce is that…


    “Come on,e on, there’s a noodle ce that’s super delicious, trust me, it’ll be a lifetime experience.”


    Wei Yu was half convinced but said nothing, elerating towards Xingfu Street.


    An Ruoxi was full of anticipation, eager to witness Wei Yu being treated like a spectacle. But she couldn’t show this little idea; she still needed to appease him.


    “Just keep going straight.” An Ruoxi pointed at the path ahead.


    The roadside was upied by street stalls, cars couldn’t pass through, Wei Yu reluctantly parked the car first. At the street entrance, he adjusted his shirt, nced around, and removed his tie.


    People here—vendor or pedestrian—kept casting nces his way, making Wei Yu ufortable, so he took his jacket off holding it in hand. An Ruoxi followed, sneakingughs as she watched Wei Yu’s face twitch more and more. This ce was mostly frequented byborers and the lower ss. His sudden arrival had everyone halting their work and looking at him warily.


    “Where’s that ce you mentioned?” Wei Yu stopped and stared at her, visibly unhappy. He shouldn’t have trusted this woman!


    “Look, right over there, where that sign is, just a few steps away.” An Ruoxi feigned innocence, meeting his gaze.


    “Let’s go.”


    “How do you know about this ce? I remember your home isn’t nearby.” Wei Yu asked.


    An Ruoxi paused, did Wei Yu see through her intentions? As for this ce, Xiao Meng had taken her here.


    “A friend brought me here, so I remembered.” So, this guy had long investigated her background; does he know about her mom being hospitalized? Or even the deal she made with the chairman? Need to find a chance to probe someday.
