Lu Jingyan looked at the gleam in her eyes. His eyes narrowed slightly as he casually turned the pen in his hand. Although his tone was still cold, there was still a hint of joy in it. “Ms. Su, do you think I look like I’m married?”

***

Su Yanxi pursed her lips as a cold expression appeared on her pretty face, “Dr. Lu is so young and promising. You don’t look like you’re married.”

“To be honest, I’m already married.” Lu Jingyan suddenly stopped turning the pen in his hand. His expression was calm as he said this very honestly without hiding anything.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yanxi widened her eyes in shock and stared at him in disbelief. She thought that he would use other words to change the topic, but he actually admitted it.

The other person who was surprised was Yi Yao. Everyone in T City’s medical field knew that Lu Jingyan was handsome and rich. His family background was so good that he had no friends and was still single. Therefore, there were countless women who tried to get close to him. Now, he actually admitted that he was married?

“Dr. Lu, you… you’re married? That’s… impossible!” Yi Yao laughed lightly and waved her hand, thinking that this was a joke. After all, if he was really married, would the reporters and paparazzi still be able to stay idle?

“I think… Ms. Su should be very familiar with the word ‘secret marriage’!” Lu Jingyan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Yanxi meaningfully. Then, his gaze landed on Yi Yao. He raised his finger to his lips and said in a charming voice, “This is a secret. Please keep it a secret.”

Yi Yao was stunned and she felt that she was in a mess, as if she had discovered a shocking secret.

Su Yanxi stared intently at Lu Jingyan’s handsome face. She could not understand what he was thinking, nor did she understand why he was doing this. However, she was still a little angry. She felt like… she had been seduced by the man in front of her.

“Yi Yao, you go out first. I have something to tell Dr. Lu. Wait for me outside!” The anger in her heart seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer. She retracted her gaze and looked at Yi Yao as she ordered her.

“Um… Oh, okay.” Yi Yao stared at Su Yanxi in a daze. She only returned to her senses slowly when she saw how serious she looked. She nodded in a daze and left the office.

After Yi Yao left, Su Yanxi got down the flat bed and walked to the office table. She frowned and asked, “Lu Jingyan, what do you mean by that? Why…”

“I like it.” Lu Jingyan leaned back in his chair leisurely and coldly interrupted her question.

Su Yanxi was speechless and could only glare at him angrily.

“When you filed for divorce with the court, didn’t you think that our marriage would be exposed because of this? Since it’s only a matter of time, there’s no need to hide it.” Lu Jingyan raised his eyebrows again as he stared at Su Yanxi’s angry face.

“You…” Su Yanxi was speechless. Was this man waiting for her here?

She tried her best to regain her composure and asked glumly, “Then, what do you want?”

“”Withdraw the lawsuit.”

“You agreed to settle the divorce?”

When he heard this, Lu Jingyan looked up and suddenly chuckled. He slowly got up and walked around the desk to stand in front of her. He half sat on the edge of the desk and looked at her with his arms crossed. He slowly approached her. “I thought that Ms. Su’s brain was just not working well, but now I realize that… there’s a problem with your ears. Do you need me to help you register at the ENT department for free?”
