"No, I just ca to take a look. Isn’t he here?" The girl smiled gently, her beautiful phoenix eyes unabashedly scanning the entire consultation room’s decor. The amusent in her eyes deepened a bit as she murmured to herself, "This decor does look quite like his style."
Wei Xuan listened beside her and could tell from her words that she seed to be familiar with Jiang Baizhou, so she smiled and said, "Doctor Jiang is here, it’s just that he’s currently treating a patient and we don’t know when it will be finished."
"Oh, is that so? Then it seems like I ca at a really bad ti today." The girl showed helplessness and disappointnt, raised her wrist to check the ti, thought for a mont, and asked, "It’s almost noon, shouldn’t he be about done by now?"
"Um...I’m not really sure about that." Wei Xuan smiled awkwardly, feeling like the girl seed to be in a bit of a rush.
The girl looked at her, laughed, "Sorry, I was too abrupt. By the way, Lu Xize also seems to be a partner in this consulting room, right? Is he here?"
"Um...yes, Doctor Lu is in his office upstairs."
"No patients?"
"No, if you need to see Doctor Lu, I can announce you now." Wei Xuan replied with a smile, observing her as she said this.
"Okay, just say my last na is Zhu."
"Okay." Wei Xuan nodded, returning to her seat, picked up the phone on the desk, dialed Lu Xize’s internal line, and after the call connected, asked, "Doctor Lu, there’s a Ms. Zhu downstairs who wants to see you. What do you think...?"
On the other end, Lu Xize, who was crossing his legs and having a snack, was puzzled when he heard Wei Xuan’s words. He couldn’t recall any girl with the last na Zhu: "A Zhu? I don’t know any Zhu, and neither do my recent patients..." Just as he finished speaking, sothing suddenly occurred to him, and he was startled, murmuring, "No way!"
"Ah, I didn’t catch what you said just now."
"Nothing, I’ll co down and see."
"Okay." After Wei Xuan hung up the phone, she turned around to look at Zhu Qinghan behind her, "Please wait a mont, Doctor Lu will be down shortly."
Zhu Qinghan smiled and nodded, "Hmm." When she turned her head towards the stairs, she saw Lu Xize coming down and waved at him, "Hello, junior brother, long ti no see! Do you rember ?"
Standing on the stairs, Lu Xize was obviously startled, his eyes widening in surprise. He ca down the stairs in two or three steps, looking at her incredulously, "Oh my god! Am I seeing things? Senior sister? Is it really you?"
"The one and only." Seeing Lu Xize’s sunny and devilish handso face, Zhu Qinghan raised her eyebrows with a playful smile, her tone very lighthearted.
"When did you return to the country? Why didn’t you tell ? It’s been years, and you haven’t changed one bit! Still as beautiful as ever, elegant and graceful! Ti hasn’t touched you at all!" Lu Xize looked at her with great delight, these complints slipping effortlessly from his mouth, without even a blink.
Zhu Qinghan’s smile grew more pronounced, and she rolled her eyes at him with amusent, "You’re just the sa, that mouth! Still so glib, not a bit changed, still so dashing."
"Exactly." Lu Xize raised his hand to touch his hair, indulging in her complint with pride and without modesty. Then he stepped aside, "Let’s not stand here chatting, it’s tiring! Let’s go to my office." Saying this, he gave Wei Xuan a look, smiling, "Wei Xuan, could you please bring up a cup of Aricano? Lang Jing is off today, so I have to trouble you."
"Of course, how could I not follow Doctor Lu’s orders! Right away." Wei Xuan replied with a smile, making a mock courteous gesture, glanced at Zhu Qinghan, and turned to the pantry.
Zhu Qinghan glanced at Wei Xuan’s retreating figure, her eyes narrowing slightly. While walking up the stairs with Lu Xize, she inquired very naturally, "Who was that girl just now? Soone from the consulting room’s staff?"
"She’s Old Jiang’s assistant. Since I don’t have much to do today, my assistant is off." After walking up the stairs, Lu Xize opened his office door, "This consulting room is a joint venture between and Old Jiang. He’s here today too, but he’s with a patient now, hasn’t finished yet. It’s on the right once inside, his office and treatnt room."
"I see!" Zhu Qinghan walked into the office, glanced around, and teased, "When I heard you opened this consulting room, I could hardly believe it! You, the wealthy second generation, actually started a consultation practice."
"I don’t want to deal with family business, and my old man can’t stand the thought of idle. Later, Old Jiang had this idea and ntioned it to , so I agreed. Since I wasn’t doing anything, we just went ahead." Lu Xize shrugged helplessly and sat on the long sofa, "Senior sister, when did you co back?"
"I’ve been back for a while now." Zhu Qinghan smiled and paused, then asked mockingly surprised, "Didn’t Bai Zhou tell you?"
Lu Xize was taken aback, "Old Jiang knew you were back? When was that?"
"Oh, it’s like this, once when I was in Milan, I ran into Bai Zhou and even ntioned having a al together when I ca back. Later, when I went for a al with Zhu Chen after returning, I t Bai Zhou’s wife."
"Ah, I see! I did hear about Old Jiang’s trip to Milan. He went all out to accompany his wife, pushing all the clinic matters onto , even handing over the lectures, just to surprise his wife in Milan. But, as for running into you, senior sister, he didn’t ntion that."
After hearing this, the warmth on Zhu Qinghan’s face noticeably dimd, and even her smile beca sowhat awkward. Although Lu Xize had a rather laid-back attitude, he was quite perceptive about won’s feelings. Besides, he had sensed sothing amiss back in school. At that ti, Zhu Qinghan wasn’t very reserved, it was quite apparent, but Jiang Baizhou always seed to turn a blind eye, pretending not to know anything, and Zhu Qinghan didn’t want to break the unspoken understanding.
Seeing the change in Zhu Qinghan’s expression, Lu Xize didn’t feel he had said anything wrong. Instead, he believed he rely spoke the truth, which wasn’t incorrect.
"That said, it’s also been a long ti since I saw senior Zhu Chen." Lu Xize acted as if he was unaware of anything and smoothly changed the topic, "Senior sister, are you and senior Zhu Chen still in Switzerland?"
"No, we moved to Ireland four years ago, most of our work is there now."
Just then, footsteps and a familiar steady male voice could be heard from outside, seemingly instructing a patient. Lu Xize raised an eyebrow, smiling, "It seems Old Jiang is done over there."
