Bab 11: I need to leave

Outside, Lu Fang was surprised to see Xu Jingli walking out. He was sure the other was still asleep. He wanted to say something but he noticed that the other was on the phone and his face did not look good. there was only one person who could make Xu Jingli make this ugly expression was one person, his own grandfather, "Xu Fei Hua.

Xu Fe Hua was the patriarch of the Xu Family and also the person Xu Jingli hated the most. Words could not explain what that old man had done to make Xu Jingli hate him the way he did.

"What?" Lu Fang heard Xu Jingli say. It was the middle of the night so he was wondering what that old man wanted.

He seemed to have said something that made Xu Jingli mad again because the man's face scrunched up in disgust. It was as if he had heard something repulsive.

Xu Jingli stayed in the phone for a while before directly cutting it off.

His face did not look so good so Lu Fang also did not press. He simply walked over and asked, "You going home? Should I get the car ready?"

Xu Jingli nodded. He wanted to go back inside to say goodbye to Chen Mumu but she was suddenly in his vision, walking towards him. Xu Jingli's released the breth he did not know he had been holding as sooon as he saw her.

He walked over slowly, "You chould not be out here, it is very cold."

Chen Mumu also walked towards him, "Did something happen? You seem worried."

Xu Jingli coughed, "Nothing happened. I just have early morning meetings and I need to go home right now to prepare for them."

"Oh! I see." Chen Mumu murmured. She then took the coat off her body and handed it back to him, "Thank you for this then. I know it will be hard to see you anytime soon so you should take it back with you."

Xu Jingli suddenly smirked. He seemed you have seen a loophole he would use when he heard that, "Are you worried about not being able to see me? if so, ask me not to go and I will not go!"

Chen Mumu was shocked. She did not know he would change a few words from her into some romantic movie!

She truly did not know what it was that was going on inside his head. At this rate, she should get him checked up!

She shook her head, "Your delusions truly amaze me. don't think about it too much, I am just saving myself from paying hundreds to get it cleaned. It looks expensive!"

Xu Jingli feigned disappointment, "So it is not because you want to see my pretty face again?"

Chen Mumu rolled her eyes, "What pretty face?" She dumped the jacket in his hands, "Take this and leave already. You should get some sleep before your meetings tomorrow."

Xu Jingli could not argue with her anymore. He just felt so good when he heard her say those words. He smiled softly, "Okay, I am leaving now." He turned around to leave but Chen Mumu stopped him with her words.

"What you did for me today, I am eternally grateful."

Her voice was sincere while her eye bored into the back of his head.

Before he offered to pay for her mother's surgery, she did not know how long she was going to work before she got that kind of money!

She had even planned to beg her own father, Chen Murong, if things did not go as planned but Xu Jingli had saved her from that shame so she was truly thankful to him.

Xu Jingli turned around, went back and draped the coat on her body. He was not smiling as he usually did, "Chen Mumu," he started.

Chen Mumu was surprised, this was the first time he was calling out her full names and in so much seriousness as well.

"What?" she asked.

Xu Jingli stared deeply at her, "The thing I asked you before, please consider it well before giving me an answer. If you accept my proposal, give me a call and we can work out an arrangement that will be beneficial for both of us."

Chen Mumu froze. She had already forgotten about that!

She sighed and then shook her head. Xu Jingli walked away this time. His car also sped off soon.

Chen Mumu was left outside the hospital all by herself. She stared at the direction the car sped off in and sighed. She got lost in thought.

Everything that happened could only be some sort of dream. So many things happened that she could not even explain even if she was asked to.

This man, Xu Jingli, just who was he?

Why did he care so much about her that despite being mere strangers he still helped her in such a big way?

She knew that if she asked that idiot Jiang Lei for help, she would not get any as he was a self-centered bastard who only cared about himself but this stranger helped her so wholeheartedly!

This truly was…

She turned back to go inside when she saw Feng Du An staring at her from the entrance. She smiled softly, "Doctor Feng?"

Feng Du An was in a daze after seeing her smile. He coughed, "Xiao Mu, what are you doing out here all by yourself?"

Chen Mumu walked over, "My friend was leaving so I was saying goodbye."

"Your friend?" Feng Du An's brows shot up.

"Yes," Chen Mumu answered. She sensed something in the doctor's tone that looked a lot like jealousy. She did not say anything though.

Feng Du An sighed in relief after hearing that. He stared at Chen Mumu and asked, "Xiao Mu actually…"

He did not know how to put it. He stared at her face and decided to go all out, "I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me! I tried asking you earlier but we were interrupted. Chen Mumu," he got closer, "I have liked you since the day that I met you and I would really like it if you went out with me!"

Chen Mumu, "…"
