Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 64 Someone’s Call

Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Someone’s Call

What a coincidence!

All the guests’ eyes widened in surprise, especially Tan Xiaofeng’s.

"Huh?"

Then the two began to compare notes and, eventually, the result: it was indeed the same person!

"Dr. Tan, why don’t you invite your boyfriend over as well? The more the merrier!"

Jia Yuqing’s suggestion met with no objections from Tan Xiaofeng, Peng Zifeng, and naturally, Lu Jing wouldn’t have any issues either.

...

Twenty minutes later, Ye Ge, who had been called over at the last minute, arrived.

Upon seeing her boyfriend, Tan Xiaofeng instantly adopted the demeanor of a demure lady:

"Ah Ge, you’re here?"

Lu Jing, very observantly, moved his seat in advance; at this moment, his heart was filled with various kinds of depression and annoyance.

He really wanted to say, "Can’t the two couples just eat by yourselves?"

He really didn’t want to be the third wheel!

He sighed deeply in his heart.

Just then, Lu Jing’s phone, which was in his bag, rang.

He answered:

"Hello?"

"What are you up to?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Jing suspiciously glanced at the incoming call:

"Why is it you?"

The number was an out-of-province landline, and he almost hung up.

"Why can’t it be me? Lu’er, you still haven’t said what you’re doing."

"Eating!"

"Sounds like it’s pretty noisy over there, are you eating out?"

"Yeah."

As the two of them were talking, Jia Yuqing suddenly chimed in:

"Doctor Lu, do you want some tripe? This tripe is really crispy."

And the person on the phone heard this loud and clear:

"Lu Jing, you’re eating hot pot!"

Tripe is a staple of hot pot, impossible to wash away.

He said urgently:

"I’m not eating spicy, we ordered the Yin Yang pot."

Lu Jing might not have realized that many times he was completely under someone’s thumb.

Like now, for instance.

On the phone, the man hummed softly:

"Behave, don’t eat spicy food, wait until your body has recovered before you have it.

Also, the medicine is ready, you can start taking it tonight."

Lu Jing frowned:

"Let’s forget about tonight, I have to work tomorrow, and going there at night is too much of a detour."

Who knew, the person on the other end simply said:

"Then move out of your dorm!"

Lu Jing shivered inside:

"No, I’m not moving, it’s convenient here since it’s close to the hospital," he refused repeatedly.

Moving in meant walking right into the lion’s den.

Only a fool would agree.

Clearly, the person who was refused was quite displeased:

"Lu’er, it’s not really far from your hospital, and there’s a car in the garage you can use to commute."

"No!"

He refused decisively again.

The man on the phone couldn’t force anything:

"Alright, alright, I’ll have Aunt Li bring it to you."

Lu Jing finally agreed:

"That’s fine."

After hanging up the phone, he realized that four pairs of eyes were watching him.

Especially Dr. Jia and Dr. Tan, both of whose eyes were gleaming.

"Doctor Lu, who was that?"

Lu Jing cleared his throat:

"Nobody important, just a friend."

Tsk tsk.

"Doesn’t sound like it. Come clean, is it your boyfriend? The owner of that big Jeep?"

Jia Yuqing hadn’t seen it in the morning, so she had to ask:

"What big Jeep?"

It was then that Tan Xiaofeng explained:

"Oh, it’s the big Jeep that Doctor Lu drove back this morning."

Lu Jing was teased to the point of unease:

"It’s really not my boyfriend, just a close brother I grew up with since childhood. He also works here in Nanxi City, so he takes good care of me."

Pfft—

It’s just that the person couldn’t hear these words.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have let it go so lightly.

Goodness, he just erased all the relationships between them!

To an outsider, they’d seem like complete strangers.
