Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 712: This Guy Hasn’t Left Yet
Lu Jing hooked his lips slightly:
"Firstly, it all depends on whether Mr. Gu will choose our hospital or not.
Besides, Mr. Gu’s surgery probably won’t be something I’ll perform."
After all, wouldn’t it require a chief surgeon to take the lead before the Gu Family would agree?
Gu Cheng also smiled:
"What if I specifically request Doctor Lu?" he continued to ask.
???
Was this guy just being contrary?
Lu Jing’s eyes flickered:
"Then I don’t know, I’ll follow whatever arrangements the hospital makes.
Mr. Gu, have you decided on getting hospitalized for treatment?"
He really didn’t want to continue this conversation.
Gu Cheng pondered for a while before responding slowly:
"Not recently, I don’t have the time."
As expected.
This guy never intended to seriously consider hospitalization.
Since that was the case, Lu Jing also put away the concern she had specifically reserved for patients:
"Okay, we respect all the patient’s decisions."
She glanced at the time on the computer out of the corner of her eye; darn it, her shift was almost over.
Just then, an intern came in:
"Doctor Lu, there are no more patients; it seems they’ve all gone to have dinner."
Lu Jing nodded:
"Then you go and have dinner too."
"And what about you, Doctor Lu?"
"I’ll eat at home."
The intern had thought that Lu Jing was going to have dinner with Gu Cheng, seeing as the two seemed to know each other.
Thus, hearing Lu Jing’s reply, the intern hesitated before leaving.
Once the intern left, Lu Jing looked at Gu Cheng again:
"Do you need anything else, Mr. Gu?" she asked.
Implied in her words: If not, I need to get off work and don’t want to be held up from going home to eat.
Gu Cheng didn’t appear to be uncomfortable in the slightest; instead, he offered cheerfully:
"Well, yes, I would like to invite Doctor Lu for a lunch. Would you accept?"
Invite for a meal?
Lu Jing’s mouth twitched a couple of times, did this young master not know about the recent events?
Only if she had lost her mind would she believe that this guy was unaware.
Just by his sudden appearance in Nanxi City, and showing up in her office, it was clear that Mr. Gu wasn’t so simple.
Nonetheless, since he hadn’t said anything, Lu Jing surely wouldn’t bring it up either; it was just a matter of seeing who would lose patience first.
Just eating...
She really couldn’t accept.
Cough.
"Thank you, but my family is waiting at home, so I need to eat there."
Gu Cheng pursed his lips:
"Is Brother Aye cooking at home?"
"Yes."
Her response was without hesitation.
Well, it was the truth!
Gu Cheng seemed shocked, an offhand remark and who knew it might actually be true?
After a few seconds, he replied awkwardly:
"Alright, next time then."
Lu Jing silently breathed a sigh of relief and began to pack up her things.
As for Gu Cheng, he stood still for two seconds before turning around and walking away.
Outside, bodyguards had been waiting all this time, and as they saw the person emerge, they quickly surrounded him and escorted him away.
Lu Jing waited until the commotion had faded before she got up, deliberately slowing her pace, not wanting to run into anyone outside.
...
She walked out of the clinic building with light steps.
But just as she stepped through the main door, she was called out to:
"Doctor Lu!"
Hm???
Who else could it be but Gu Cheng?
Hadn’t this guy left yet? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Lu Jing really didn’t want to engage, but two bodyguards had already stepped forward to block her path.
Feeling a bit annoyed but quickly regaining her composure, she asked:
"Mr. Gu, what is this about?"
Gu Cheng stood by his car, still with a smile on his face:
"I gave it some thought, and if I miss this chance, who knows when I might be able to invite Doctor Lu for a simple meal again? So, I took the liberty of making arrangements, please don’t take offense, Doctor Lu."
