“What’s wrong?” Upon seeing her put down her chopsticks, Wen Ruoshui probed, “Are the noodles not to your liking? What do you want to eat? I’ll accompany you.”

“No.” Dongfang Chu knew very well that she seemed to have returned late and stopped her.

Given Shui Shui’s personality, once she set her mind on someone, she would do it for the rest of her life. If she liked someone, she would definitely be loyal and not turn back unless she hit a wall.

“Have some chestnuts then.” Wen Ruoshui thought for a while. “I still have steak in the fridge. I’ll cook you a steak!”

“The noodles are delicious.” Dongfang Chu smiled at her. “Stop fooling around. Go to bed after dinner. You have to get up early tomorrow to catch the plane!”

Wen Ruoshui kept feeling that Chu Chu had something to say to her, but why did she suddenly stop? What did she want to say?

Dongfang Chu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep the whole night. She had already told Shui Shui everything she needed to say and also told her about Yan Yuanfei’s situation.

She had no right to interfere with Shui Shui’s choice.

She wanted to talk to Yan Yuanfei about this so that he would take the initiative to withdraw and distance himself from Shui Shui. As long as he did not chase after Shui Shui, he would naturally let her go after a long time.

Wen Ruoshui got up before dawn the next day and left with her luggage.

Upon seeing her leave, Dongfang Chu could not fall asleep anymore. She got up after putting on her clothes and went to the door to block Yan Yuanfei. Anyway, for Chu Chu’s future, she had to try her best to stop her.

Yan Yuanfei had initially wanted to take her to the airport, but when he was about to go down, he saw a car parked downstairs. The car was filled with her colleagues, so he did not go down. He packed up and prepared to go for a run.

Just as she reached the door, she saw Dongfang Chu standing at the staircase with her back facing her and mumbling to herself. She greeted her politely, “Good morning, Miss Dongfang.”

“Mr. Yan.” Dongfang Chu turned around and faced him. “I have something to tell you.”

Yan Yuanfei nodded slightly. “Go ahead, Miss Dongfang.”

Dongfang Chu encouraged herself and looked at him seriously. “If you really like Shui Shui, I hope you can stay away from her for her own good.”

Yan Yuanfei had not expected her to say this. “I’m afraid I can’t do that. When you like someone, you can’t help but want to get close to them. Miss Dongfang will understand how I feel now when you have someone you like.”

Last night, she seemed to have something to tell him. That was what she wanted to say!

“Yan Yuanfei, you can’t be so selfish.” Dongfang Chu had already decided to lay her cards on the table with him. “Your Yan Family won’t live long. If you die one day, what will happen to Shui Shui? Have you ever thought about her?”

“Miss Dongfang, everyone will die one day.” Yan Yuanfei did not believe in fate. He was very healthy and had no problems. What she said would never happen to him.

“You… You just don’t want to let go, right?” Dongfang Chu was annoyed. She had never spoken to anyone like this before. She held it in for a long time. “Why are you so selfish?”

“Love is selfish to begin with.” Yan Yuanfei smiled. “Even if Shui Shui doesn’t love me but someone else, how can you guarantee that nothing will happen to that person? There are too many things in the world that catch one off guard. All we can do is live well while we’re alive and live without regrets.”

He had not expected Miss Dongfang to think so much despite her young age.

Dongfang Chu knew that what he said made sense, but she could not accept his twisted example of an accident.

“To be honest, Miss Dongfang, before I met Shui Shui, I never thought that I would fall in love at first sight.” When Yan Yuanfei thought of Wen Ruoshui, his eyes became gentler.

There were some things that one would only believe in when they encountered them. Only then would one know the wonders of fate. It was as if one had found their lost half in another person. That feeling was really beautiful.

Dongfang Chu was speechless. When she saw the man go down the stairs and disappear, she kicked the door in frustration.

Yan Yuanfei was right. Some things were uncontrollable.

Was she crazy? Why had she let Shui Shui go on a blind date in her place?

In the end, if Shui Shui got together with Yan Yuanfei and Yan Yuanfei really died in the future, leaving Shui Shui alone in excruciating pain, she would be the culprit. She was the one who pushed Shui Shui to Yan Yuanfei!

Wen Ruoshui had never thought that one day, her calm heart would be broken by a man. No matter what she did, his appearance would always appear in front of her subconsciously.

It was fine during the day, but she had been busy the whole time and had no time to think about him. Once she was free, he would flood her mind, especially when she was sleeping at night.

Her stomach was full, but she still missed his fragrant noodles.

She felt like she was going crazy!

A week felt like a century. She had never felt so eager to go home and see someone so much.

After the exchange trip ended, the plane from Sea City to the capital took off at midnight because of the storm. When it reached the Imperial Capital Airport, it was only three in the morning.

Outside the airport, there was pouring rain, and the airport lobby was empty.

Not everyone who had gone on the learning trip had returned. Cao Run and a few other colleagues still had to watch a surgery.

Wen Ruoshui had another surgery in the morning and returned with a few female colleagues.

“My husband came to pick me up.” Colleague A smiled smugly. “I told him it was late and raining, but he insisted. He was afraid that it wouldn’t be safe for me to take a taxi.”

“My husband is the same. He insisted on picking me up.” Colleague B echoed smugly.

“My boyfriend just called me and said that he’s already on the way. He’ll be at the airport soon. I don’t know how he calculated it so accurately,” Colleague C said with a smile.

After saying that, they looked at Wen Ruoshui.

“Doctor Wen, how are you going back? Why don’t you take a taxi now?”

“It’s so late at night and it’s raining heavily. You’re a girl. You have to be careful when you hail a taxi.”

“That’s right. It’s not safe for girls to walk outside if they’re too pretty.”

The few women sounded like they were concerned about her, but their words were sarcastic.

“I’ve already called for a taxi.” Wen Ruoshui’s smile was very faint and polite as she dragged her luggage towards the washroom.

“Doctor Wen, go to the washroom. We’ll help you look after your luggage,” Colleague A stopped her.

“Thank you.” Wen Ruoshui put down her luggage and turned to go to the washroom.

When her colleagues saw her leave, they started discussing about her softly and disdainfully.
