"If you followed Yangzi, you wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life," Li Xiaolu coaxed.
"He has too many women around him. Besides, Director Li said not to have any ideas about him. I don't want to lose my current job. At least here, I can earn ten thousand yuan a month, and there will be bonuses if I do well."
"I know why you can't find a boyfriend? Your standards are too high. Which man nowadays is content with what's in his bowl and doesn't look into the pot? If you want a man to be devoted to you from beginning to end, you need a good background and the skill to tie a man's heart. Unfortunately, you have neither."
"I believe there are still such men in this world, I just haven't met them yet."
"There are many good men in this world, but they are all married. A man like Yangzi, if I had met him two years earlier, I would have married him without hesitation," Li Xiaolu said.
"You could only marry him if he agreed."
"This young lady has looks and talent, so of course, he would agree. Besides, back then I was still a pure maiden, alright? It's just that I've been indulging myself for the past two years, and that's caused a little change."
"You were right earlier, sleeping with President Guo isn't a bad idea, you won't lose any flesh anyway."
"You agree then?"
"I was talking about you. President Guo is really not my type. He doesn't like my kind either."
"If he didn't like you, would he sign a contract with you? Besides, you're still a treasure. When I get back, I'll talk to Yangzi and see if he can take you in. If he takes you in, you'll have to help me out a lot then."
"You're talking nonsense. It's you who should help me out."
Women's topics are endless; the night passed by unnoticed.
"What were you two talking about? You seem so happy?" Guo Xuyang said, standing behind them.
"Ah? You're awake? So early?" Li Xiaolu was startled and quickly stood up.
"It's not early. Haven't you two slept all night?"
"No. What happened last night was a bit frightening, so we didn't dare to sleep."
"I didn't expect you to be such cowards. Aren't you studying medicine? With such little courage, how can you be a doctor?"
"Doctors are people too, you know? They get scared too," Li Xiaolu retorted.
"Haven't you encountered patient deaths?"
"That's different. Besides, I've never actually seen a patient die. Our Maternal and Child Health Hospital primarily serves women and children. Even if a mother dies from severe bleeding, it happens in the delivery room. I've never been to the delivery room."
"I haven't even said a few words, and you've already got a whole bunch waiting for me. Can we still have a pleasant conversation? I'm not talking anymore. I'll go wash up first. Help me pack up later so we can complete the discharge procedures and go home." Guo Xuyang said and went to the bathroom.
"Did I say something wrong?" Li Xiaolu looked at Gao Yuan and asked.
"It's not that you said something wrong. It's mainly that he's the boss, and you're his hired nurse. You didn't watch what you said."
"Does being the boss mean I'm not allowed to speak? I won't indulge him then."
"It's not about indulgence or not. We have to know our place. Of course, if you've slept with him, that's another story," Gao Yuan chuckled.
"I realize you've turned bad too," Li Xiaolu said playfully.
"Proximity to vermilion makes one red; proximity to ink makes one black. There's no way around it."
"Then you're saying I corrupted you. When we get back, I'll take you to Yangzi."
"Don't bother. It's impossible between us."
"Feelings grow with time, don't you know that?"
"You're just talking nonsense. I'm ignoring you." Gao Yuan said, getting up to pack her things.
