Chen Yuxin shook her head quickly and said, "Dr. Gu, I'm fine. You don't need to worry. I've rested for three days and feel much better."
Gu Miao also had a good impression of Chen Yuxin.
She was more beautiful than the doctors and nurses at the hospital. Her long hair was dark and shiny. When she wasn't working, she tied it up in a high ponytail. Her bright and moving face, with a disposition as clean as a sunny day after rain, made men fall for her involuntarily.
"Well! Yuxin, don't be so formal. Just call me by my name," Gu Miao said with a smile.
"Okay!" Chen Yuxin didn't stand on ceremony. Her smile was a bit forced.
If she had heard this three days ago, she would have been very happy, but now she couldn't be happy at all.
Various jumbled thoughts flashed through her mind. They soon arrived at one of the buildings in the bustling commercial district, their destination for the day.
After getting out of the car, the two of them took the elevator directly to the high-end clubhouse on the eighth floor.
The elevator went straight to the floor, where a sweet-looking female secretary was waiting.
"Director Gu, this way, please."
Gu Miao smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Then, he and Chen Yuxin followed her.
The private room was very large. Inside, three distinguished-looking men were playing cards.
Gu Miao came from an ordinary background, but he handled such situations with ease.
After they entered, the three men had just finished a round.
"Jincheng, if you have something to do, we can play another day."
"Okay!" Lu Jincheng smiled faintly.
Jincheng?
The familiar voice made Chen Yuxin pause.
What a coincidence!
Could it be Lu Jincheng?
Chen Yuxin's view was blocked by Gu Miao. As Gu Miao walked forward, Chen Yuxin's gaze followed inch by inch.
The man sitting opposite the two young men was Lu Jincheng, dressed in a crisp light gray suit. His every move exuded a unique, assertive aura.
The light shone on his handsome face, making his features appear even more three-dimensional and refined.
Chen Yuxin: "..." It really was him!
Lu Jincheng's secretary, Xiao Yang, said, "Mr. Lu, Director Gu is here."
Lu Jincheng then looked up and at Gu Miao.
Seeing Chen Yuxin standing beside him, he frowned slightly.
It had been three days, and she hadn't called him.
He had expected her to call the police, but the police never came.
"Sit!" Lu Jincheng's voice was very attractive.
"Mr. Lu, hello. I am Gu Miao, and this is my colleague, Chen Yuxin."
Chen Yuxin's body tensed, and she said in a low voice, "Hello, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Jincheng looked at her deeply and said, "Sit!"
Lu Jincheng looked at his two friends and said, "You two go ahead today. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
The two men opposite them got up and left obligingly.
Lu Jincheng looked at his secretary and said, "Xiao Yang, serve dinner."
"Yes, Mr. Lu," Xiao Yang replied with a smile and went out.
"Mr. Lu, we would like to order several units of your company's newly released equipment. We heard that your company's cooperation partners are all major hospitals. Even though small hospitals like ours buy in small quantities, we still hope you can allocate a few units to us, for the sake of saving lives."
Lu Jincheng glanced at Chen Yuxin and nodded faintly, "That's no problem."
Normally, in such business dealings, the producers would be the ones seeking out hospitals. However, Lu Jincheng's new product this time was extremely helpful to severely injured patients.
It had not yet entered mass production, and only hospitals with good relationships could place orders.
"Mr. Lu, thank you so much. On behalf of all our doctors, I thank you." Gu Miao hadn't expected the cooperation to be settled so easily.
The reason Lu Jincheng agreed was because of Chen Yuxin.
After all, he owed her.
He leaned back elegantly on the leather sofa, his long legs crossed, his posture graceful.
"Let's eat first. We can look at the contract after the meal."
As Lu Jincheng spoke, a waiter pushed a small dining cart in.
Various delicious dishes were soon laid out on the table.
The three of them began to eat. Chen Yuxin held her chopsticks but couldn't seem to pick up any food. She lowered her head, lost in thought.
Lu Jincheng's deep gaze swept over her a few times.
Chen Yuxin didn't look up, but she could feel his ardent gaze.
Seeing Chen Yuxin not picking up any food, Gu Miao picked up a lobster and placed it in her bowl. "Yuxin, eat more."
Chen Yuxin tilted her head and smiled faintly, "Thank you! Gu Miao, you eat too."
Gu Miao smiled gently, "Okay! We'll toast Mr. Lu later."
Lu Jincheng glanced lightly at Gu Miao. Observing the gentle gaze, as a man, he knew that Gu Miao liked Chen Yuxin.
He also knew that Chen Yuxin hadn't been to the hospital these past few days.
The three ate their dinner, each with their own thoughts.
After dinner, Lu Jincheng had someone serve tea and dessert.
Chen Yuxin couldn't eat or drink anything.
She was clearly hungry but had no appetite.
Perhaps it was because Lu Jincheng was present.
After the meal, Gu Miao and Lu Jincheng signed the contract, and the matter was settled.
Lu Jincheng lowered his head and took out his phone, sending a message to Chen Yuxin.
[I agreed to today's matter because of you. I'm truly sorry about what happened that night. I will take responsibility.]
Chen Yuxin heard her phone vibrate. She also saw Lu Jincheng take out his phone, seemingly sending a message.
She instinctively lowered her head to look at her phone and saw the message from Lu Jincheng.
Upon reading the content, Chen Yuxin glared fiercely at him.
Who asked him to do it because of her?
She didn't want this kind of favor.
Also, what did he mean by "take responsibility"? How would he take responsibility?
Marry her?
The Lu family and her family were worlds apart.
She had never imagined that she would one day join a wealthy family.
Her sister's life in a small affluent family was a constant drama, unbearable.
She would not live the same life as her sister.
Lu Jincheng had been expanding his factory recently. With a capable younger sister, all sorts of formulas and medical equipment could be produced smoothly.
To expand his business and allow his sister to earn money effortlessly, he had been very busy lately.
He came out tonight upon hearing that people from Chen Yuxin's hospital had requested a meeting.
He hadn't expected Chen Yuxin to come as well.
Seeing Chen Yuxin's glare, he inexplicably found it somewhat cute.
Gu Miao checked the contract and confirmed there were no issues.
Lu Jincheng was a straightforward person.
He asked with a smile, "Mr. Lu, shall we go somewhere else to have some fun?"
Lu Jincheng looked at him with interest and asked, "Where to?"
Gu Miao: "A bar, or perhaps KTV."
Lu Jincheng: "Let's go to the bar. The sixth floor of this building is a bar."
Chen Yuxin had thought she could go home. The idea of going to a bar made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She had come with Gu Miao, so she couldn't leave first.
The three of them went to the bar and encountered two of Lu Jincheng's friends from earlier.
"Jincheng, come over here," his friend Li Yan called out, waving.
Lu Jincheng looked at Chen Yuxin and said, "Miss Chen, let's go together."
Chen Yuxin's body instinctively tensed upon hearing his voice.
"Okay!" he replied faintly.
After sitting down at the booth, everyone got acquainted.
Lu Jincheng and Chen Yuxin happened to sit next to each other.
Gu Miao was seated next to her.
However, Chen Yuxin was sitting sideways, her profile half-turned towards Lu Jincheng.
They were sitting very close, talking about something.
Lu Jincheng saw this and a hint of anger flickered in his eyes.
Li Yan suddenly said, "Jinyan, shall I find a woman for you?"
