Chapter 480: Chapter 481: Kiss Me and I’ll Let You Go

On Thursday, everyone got back quite early, so Song Xiaodong suggested they all go out to eat instead of cooking at home.

This idea was immediately met with enthusiasm from everyone, and they headed straight to a nearby restaurant called Wanjia Denghuo.

As soon as they entered, Song Xiaodong unexpectedly saw Lin Su’er. Lin Su’er hurried over to greet Song Xiaodong and his group. Thanks to Song Xiaoru’s care, even though Lin Su’er felt a bit guilty when she saw Miao Qingqing, she didn’t immediately think to hide anymore.

"Su’er, are you here with friends?" Song Xiaoru asked with a smile.

"I was officially promoted today, so I invited a few close friends to celebrate over dinner," Lin Su’er said cheerily.

"That’s wonderful! Why don’t we eat together?" Song Xiaoru asked, smiling.

Lin Su’er hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Maybe not, they aren’t familiar with you all, and I’m afraid it might be awkward for everyone."

Song Xiaoru nodded and said, "That makes sense. How about this? I’ll take care of the bill for you all, just go ahead and enjoy yourselves, don’t be shy."

"That’s really embarrassing," Lin Su’er said, glancing at Miao Qingqing subconsciously.

Song Xiaoru said with a smile, "It’s nothing, really. Go on now."

Lin Su’er finally said, "Then I won’t be polite." She then waved and walked away with her group of friends.

"Su’er, who were those people just now? There were so many beauties, even a pair of twins. They were really eye-catching."

"Right? Look at them, each one with such presence, they must all be very wealthy people. Su’er, you know such people?"

The group of friends had barely settled into their private room when they started chattering excitedly.

Lin Su’er said proudly, "You only noticed the beauties, but that man was Doctor Song Xiaodong from our hospital, a star."

"Song Xiaodong? Which Song Xiaodong?"

"Ah, you’re talking about the legendary Doctor Song from our hospital. I’ve always known about him, but I’ve never actually seen him. Oh my god, we didn’t even go over to greet him just now."

"Wow, THAT Doctor Song? He’s my idol! Ah, I definitely need to go and offer a toast later."

"Forget it, didn’t you see the four gorgeous women around Doctor Song? If we went to offer a toast like that, wouldn’t we just be humiliating ourselves? It wouldn’t even be too embarrassing for Lin Su’er to offer a toast, but one can tell at a glance that those people aren’t ordinary folks. Su’er is just a nurse; she doesn’t compare to them in status, it wouldn’t work all the same."

Lin Su’er chuckled lightly and said, "Doctor Song isn’t as scary as you think. One of those women is his girlfriend, another his sister, and the other two are his friends."

"Su’er, you sure know a lot about Doctor Song," one friend remarked.

"There were rumors a while back that you and Doctor Song had a thing. Su’er, is that true?"

Lin Su’er’s face turned red as she retorted, "That’s nonsense, I wish! But Doctor Song has a girlfriend, and she’s the chairwoman of Qingyuan Group. A mere nurse like me wouldn’t catch his eye. Please, don’t spread such things. If Sister Qingqing hears, it would make things difficult for me."

"Qingyuan Group... are you talking about that big corporation in our city?" one friend exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, that’s the one." Lin Su’er nodded.

"Oh my, Doctor Song is really something, Su’er, you truly have no chance at all, but you seem to be really close to them. What’s your relationship with them?"

"I... I’m quite familiar with Doctor Song’s sister and have assisted during surgeries, so that’s how they know me. Not much of a relationship beyond that."

"That’s quite impressive too. I never thought that Su’er, who keeps such a low profile at the hospital, would know so many influential people."

The groups of girls chattered away, probing with questions here and there, never lacking topics.

Originally, the group of girls had only planned to order a few small dishes, but Lin Su’er was feeling happy today, so she ordered a few more expensive dishes. It wasn’t because Song Xiaoru was paying, but rather because Xiaoru was helping her save face. If she didn’t order, it would have seemed too stingy.

Being all girls, the chat was very relaxed; no men were present, so they didn’t worry about any issues and also drank quite a bit.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Su’er and one of her friends went to the restroom together.

After they were finished, they came out to wash their hands, laughing and chatting as they did.

"Su’er, you should drink some liquor, your cheeks are all flushed, and it makes me want to kiss you," her friend teased while looking at Su’er’s reflection in the mirror.

Lin Su’er laughed, "You little troublemaker."

"Really, Su’er. I’ve noticed you’re getting prettier by the day. Hey, do you have a boyfriend now who refreshes you daily? Otherwise, how can you be so beautiful and even more feminine?"

"Not at all, don’t talk nonsense," Lin Su’er’s face turned even redder; her friend had hit a nerve.

"Look at you, all shy! You still say no? I’ve had boyfriends before. Being pampered by a boyfriend and getting a few ’bang bangs’ in bed can make a woman incredibly happy."

"Ah, you’re so dirty. I’m not talking to you anymore," Lin Su’er said and turned to run away. Her face was too tender to discuss such topics.

She hurried away but almost ran into two men coming from the opposite direction, prompting Lin Su’er to quickly stop.

"I’m so sorry," Lin Su’er quickly apologized and tried to walk past the two men.

The two men were quite drunk and wobbled a bit as they walked. However, upon seeing Lin Su’er, their eyes lit up. One of them quickly stepped to the side, blocking Lin Su’er’s path, and said, "Hey, beauty, you’re just going to leave like that?"

Lin Su’er immediately stepped back and looked at the man warily, "What do you want?"

The man’s expression darkened. "What do I want? You just spilled water on me and you’re just going to walk away? Isn’t that a bit rude?"

"Oh, I’m sorry." Lin Su’er indeed saw a few spots of water on the man’s clothes; it must have been from her rushing and flicking water off her hands earlier. She quickly apologized.

"Just an apology and that’s it?" The man still looked stern.

"What else do you want?" Lin Su’er’s friend quickly realized that the man was looking for trouble and stared at him as she spoke up.

The man squinted at Lin Su’er and said, "I don’t want much. You dirtied my clothes, and I won’t make it hard for you. Just give me a kiss and I’ll let you go."
