Chapter 138: 110 Lu Han, I like you...... (2 updates)_1

Tomorrow is the weekend, and Tang Su’s visiting hours end at eight o’clock.

Wu Donglin still hadn’t had his fill and wanted to keep Tang Su around a bit longer, but with surgery scheduled for tomorrow, he had to stay at the hospital tonight no matter what. Being on someone else’s turf naturally meant playing by their rules.

Tang Su wanted to go back on her own, but Wu Donglin was worried and insisted on having Wu Jie escort her.

Wu Jie was also planning to return to his own place, as he wasn’t going to stay up late tonight and would come over early tomorrow.

Even though Doctor Lu had stressed repeatedly that it wasn’t a major operation, it was still surgery after all, and so Wu Jie, being an outsider, was quite worried and took tomorrow’s surgery very seriously.

As Tang Su entered the elevator, she left Wu Jie behind and sent a message to Lu Han, "Doctor Lu, have you returned?"

By the time she left the hospital, Tang Su had not yet received a reply from Lu Han.

When she called Lu Han’s phone, she discovered it was powered off.

Tang Su: ???

"Lu Han couldn’t still be out in the countryside and not back yet, could he?" Wu Jie asked tentatively, noticing the unnatural look on Tang Su’s face.

If Lu Han were not there tomorrow, his grandfather’s stubbornness would likely prevent him from letting any other doctor perform the surgery.

Previously, President Ke frequented his grandfather’s ward quite often, and on one occasion, Wu Jie even overheard President Ke recommending another doctor to his grandfather, who flatly refused in a fury.

After that, President Ke dared not suggest changing doctors again.

"The surgery for Grandpa Wu is tomorrow; he will definitely come back today. Don’t worry; his phone is probably just dead," Tang Su assumed Wu Jie was concerned about no one being available for Grandpa Wu’s surgery tomorrow, which was why he was asking her.

In fact, Wu Jie was concerned about her, and, of course, he also sympathized with Lu Han.

If Lu Han was truly too busy and exhausted today to return, or if he returned too late, tomorrow’s surgery could be postponed.

After all, his grandfather was of such an advanced age, and Wu Jie wanted Lu Han to be in a fully rested state of mind when performing the surgery.

"Okay, let’s hail a cab. I’ll send you back," Wu Jie said.

"Sure, thanks for the trouble."

"Being this formal with me now?" Wu Jie raised an eyebrow, dissatisfied with Tang Su’s sudden polite distance.

"All right, all right. So, should I punch you? Would that make it less formal?" Tang Su joked as she gave Wu Jie a playful punch.

Neither of them knew that someone at a bus stop across the street was aiming a phone at them.

And the angle was particularly tricky, making the two, who were simply conversing, look incredibly intimate. A normal touch was captured in a way that, from the resulting photo alone, appeared as if they were flirting.

In this world, there are two completely different types of people, one shines brightly on the right path, while the other devotes their entire learning to wicked and crooked ways, quickly making a name for themselves in the wrong areas.

Wu Jie hailed a taxi, opened the door, and let Tang Su get in first before he followed suit.

In the few seconds it took for them both to get into the car, their actions provided ample opportunity for more ’quickfire snaps’.

**

After entering Hua City in the hospital’s car, Lu Han asked them to stop at the intersection ahead where he could hail a taxi. He then took a cab straight back to Tingzhu Building.

By the time he finished work, he had realized his phone was out of battery. As everyone who went down to the countryside with him this time were male doctors and male nurses, no one had a charger.

Unable to charge his phone, Lu Han didn’t want to borrow someone else’s to call Tang Su.

By the time he returned to Hua City, it was already late, and Lu Han didn’t feel like going back to the hospital.

When he arrived at the entrance of Tingzhu Building, Lu Han paid and got out of the cab, only to run into Jiang Shanshan, who was waiting there.

"Doctor Jiang? What are you doing here?" Even outside of work hours, Lu Han greeted Jiang Shanshan with a professional "Doctor Jiang."

Understanding what Lu Han meant, Jiang Shanshan had felt restless inside ever since that evening outside Tongtong’s hospital room when she overheard the family saying Lu Han already had a girlfriend.

Jiang Shanshan could almost guess who Lu Han’s girlfriend was.

The name was on the tip of her tongue, and she was almost certain it was her.

But Jiang Shanshan couldn’t accept it; she simply couldn’t accept it.

She had known Lu Han for so much longer before she came along. Why should it be so smooth for her to barge in?

"President Ke is very angry, you know? Lu Han," the ’President Ke’ Jiang Shanshan referred to was the president of their hospital.

"Whether he’s angry or not, what does that have to do with me? Coming here instead of going home after work, just to tell me this in the cold?"

"I’m worried about you, Lu Han. Why don’t you take this seriously? Aren’t you concerned that if you offend someone here, someone else might set a trap for you, ruining your future prospects?"

Jiang Shanshan frowned, her question filled with anxiety.

If this had been in the past when they were a few years younger, or perhaps when they were still studying in school, she would have thought Lu Han’s attitude was highly principled and irresistibly charming.

But now, they had been working for quite a few years, and the workplace was completely different from school.

President Ke was the dean, the direct supervisor of all frontline doctors. In plain words, wasn’t it up to him to decide promotions and salary increases?

Unless one wanted to resign and quit, a leader’s face still had to be given.

For the sake of one’s own future, one couldn’t easily offend the leader.

"Actually, you don’t have to worry about me at all. Even if my future is completely ruined, at worst, we can’t be colleagues anymore, that’s it. It doesn’t affect you, does it?"

"Lu Han, are you really playing dumb with me?" Jiang Shanshan looked at him, a deep and tender affection in her eyes that she no longer hid.

She had thought it through. Tonight, she must confess her feelings to Lu Han.

Even if she didn’t succeed, she wanted Lu Han to know how long she had liked him, and she didn’t want to pine over him alone anymore.

"Hmm? What?" Lu Han raised an eyebrow, continuing to play dumb.

Was Jiang Shanshan about to be open with him?

She said he was playing dumb with her, but wasn’t she doing the same with him?

What if she liked him?

He asked himself whether it was at work or in life, everything between them was clear and above board, without a single inappropriate move.

So, what made her think that if she confessed, he would definitely accept her?

Where did this confidence come from?

Was it given by Jiang Tao?

But she should know that not only did he not see President Ke as important, but Jiang Tao was the dean of another hospital, with whom he had even less connection. In his eyes, Jiang Tao was even more insignificant.

"Lu Han, I like you. From the first time I saw you at the hospital, I have liked you. Everyone knows, only you’re pretending not to understand. Don’t you really know how much I like you?"

Jiang Shanshan stood in the cool autumn breeze, her long hair blowing wildly, ignoring it. In her eyes, heart, even her mind, at that moment, there was only one person—Lu Han.

The look in her eyes as she watched him was so intense, so passionate.

"Thank you, Doctor Jiang, for your misplaced affection. I’m sorry, I don’t..."

Lu Han’s words weren’t finished when Jiang Shanshan suddenly ran towards him and crashed into his arms.

"I don’t believe it, Lu Han, I simply don’t believe it."

Lu Han reached out to push Jiang Shanshan away, but just at that moment, Wu Jie and Tang Su happened to walk over and saw the scene of Jiang Shanshan rushing toward Lu Han.

Lu Han faced the residential area with his back to the street, while Jiang Shanshan faced the street with her back to the residential area. Jiang Shanshan had good eyesight; she had just seen Tang Su and Wu Jie stepping out of the car.

It was at that moment she hurried toward Lu Han with great speed.

Even if Lu Han reacted quickly, Tang Su would still witness the scene.

And all she needed was for Tang Su to believe what she was seeing right now. That was enough.

Tang Su did see it, and it wasn’t just Tang Su; the Wu Jie by her side saw it too.

Tang Su trusted Lu Han completely and wouldn’t fall for Jiang Shanshan’s trick, but Wu Jie was different.

A moment ago, Tang Su had contacted Lu Han. He wasn’t replying to WeChat messages nor answering calls. And now, this guy was caught in a tug of war with another woman right outside their residential area.

The thing Wu Jie couldn’t stand the most was seeing Tang Su wronged.

So, tall and long-legged, he walked toward the two, rolling up his sleeves as he did.

Seeing this, Tang Su knew Wu Jie was angry, but he was mistaken about who deserved his wrath.

Just before Wu Jie was about to act, Tang Su spoke, "Wu Jie, if you really want to stand up for me, why not give this shameless Doctor Jiang a couple of hard slaps instead?"

Wu Jie: "..."

Jiang Shanshan: "..."

Lu Han turned around, heard Tang Su’s words, and looked at his "honey sugar," the corners of his mouth lifting ever so slightly...
