After being stunned for a few seconds, Su Yanxi slowly regained her senses. Her red lips moved slightly, but she did not say anything. Her slightly stunned expression also returned to calmness.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Jingyan slowly retracted his gaze and got up calmly.

“Nothing. I simply come up and get something.” Her almond-shaped eyes swept across the room. She walked to the sofa and picked up her bag. When she turned around, she suddenly remembered and casually asked, “I’m planning to go to the supermarket to buy something. Do you need to get anything?”

“What are you buying?”

“There’s nothing in the fridge, so…” Su Yanxi replied with her back facing him.

“Mmm.” Lu Jingyan put on his shirt and buttoned it up. He then tilted his head to look at that beautiful figure, “You know how to cook?”

Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi turned around and stared straight into his deep eyes. Her red lips moved slightly as she said with a faint smile, “A little.” She paused for a moment before continuing, “My car is in your hospital’s parking lot so lend me your car!”

His fair and slender fingers suddenly stopped when he reached the last button. Looking at her gaze, he walked to the wardrobe, took out a black coat, and put it on. His lips moved as he said in a cold voice, “It’s on the way, I’ll give you a ride.”

“You’re going out?” Su Yanxi was a little surprised. He worked the night shift last night and had only slept for a while in the morning after he came back…

“Mmm,” Lu Jingyan replied plainly. He picked up his phone and car keys from the bedside table and walked toward her. He stopped two steps away from her and looked down at her with his height advantage, “Have you taken your medicine?”

“Huh?” Su Yanxi was unable to react to his sudden question and raised her voice.

“Let’s go!” But he did not want to repeat himself. He looked away from her and left the bedroom.

The two of them left the villa one after another. After getting into the car, Lu Jingyan asked again, “Which supermarket are you going to?”

Upon hearing his words, Su Yanxi instinctively turned to look at him. When she recalled what he had said in the bedroom earlier, she could not help but raise her eyebrows. He did not even know which supermarket she was going to, so where did he get the confidence and courage to say that it was on the way?

“You haven’t thought of it yet?” He drove the car slowly into the traffic. Seeing that Su Yanxi did not reply for a long time, he looked over again and saw that she was looking at him with a deep smile. He frowned slightly, “What’s up?”

“Nothing?” Su Yanxi looked out of the window calmly and pointed ahead, “Just stop at that supermarket ahead.”

A moment later, the car arrived at the entrance of the supermarket that Su Yanxi had mentioned. Su Yanxi got out of the car and was about to thank him when the man sitting in the driver’s seat cut her off, “Take a taxi when you go back.”

“Okay,” Su Yanxi replied and turned to enter the supermarket.

She took the trolley and the ringtone in her bag made her stop in her tracks. She looked at the caller ID and then picked up the call, “Hello.”

“Ms. Su, where are you?” It was her assistant, Yi Yao.

“At the supermarket. What’s the matter?” Su Yanxi replied as she pushed the trolley towards the supermarket.

“The Deputy Director of the First Affiliated Hospital of T City just called. He wants to hire you as their attorney. I’ve done some preliminary research. It’s about a medical dispute this morning. We’ll only know the details when we go to the hospital. Barrister Mo doesn’t have much time on his schedule, so they can only look for you…”

Before Yi Yao could finish speaking, Su Yanxi stopped in her tracks again. The First Affiliated Hospital of T City?

Wasn’t that…
