Zhou Lu looked at them with an indifferent expression. He was dressed in casual clothes of an unknown brand but he still had a handsome and otherworldly temperament, and his face was noble and aloof.

He took out an ID card from his pocket and said indifferently, "You left this behind."

Su Jian must have left it in Dr. Qin's office when she went to the hospital yesterday… But didn't Zhou Lu leave before her?

Why was her identity card with him?

Su Jian took the ID card hesitantly and said softly, "Thank you…"

In order to ease the atmosphere, Jiang Yan quickly said, "Since you're here, why don't we have dinner together?"

Su Jian furrowed her eyebrows and pursed her lips. She didn't say anything but seemed unhappy.

No one knew what she was thinking, and she did not notice that Jiang Yan, who was beside her, had been winking at her.

Zhou Lu's handsome and noble face revealed an ambiguous smile, and then he gladly agreed.

Su Jian looked up at him in surprise because she didn't expect him to agree to eat with them.

It was still too early for dinner so the three of them sat in the office without saying a word. The atmosphere was strange and silent.

Su Jian kept her eyes lowered and stared at the floor.

Zhou Lu swept his gaze across her face without any meaning, and a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.

Jiang Yan was caught in the middle and found it very awkward but quickly found an excuse, "I'll go and see what's the progress with the work."

Su Jian stood up immediately, "I'll go with you…"

Jiang Yan winked at her, "Stay here with the guest. I'll be back in a while."

Now, only the two of them were left in the office.

Su Jian was forced to sit down again.

Zhou Lu crossed his legs and raised his eyebrows, "Ms. Su doesn't seem to welcome me very much."

Su Jian was stunned. She looked at him with a smile, "Doctor Zhou, you must be joking. It's my honor to have you here."

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Is that so? It's a pity that I happened to hear some things that I shouldn't have heard. Ms. Su should be very regretful, right?"

Su Jian's expression changed slightly. She clenched her fists uneasily and could only say guiltily, "I'm sorry…"

Even though these three words sounded weak, she really did not know what else to say.

Zhou Lu suddenly chuckled, his expression secretive.

Su Jian looked up at him in bewilderment. The man's dark eyes were like a cold abyss, making one's heart tremble.

Suddenly, Zhou Lu's phone rang. It seemed like someone had sent him a message.

He picked up his phone and typed. There was a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes were no longer as terrifying as before. Instead, they were filled with love.

Su Jian guessed that Ye Nuan Nuan must have sent him the message.

Zhou Lu had been chatting with the person on the other end of the phone, completely ignoring Su Jian. She heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was on tenterhooks.

This lunatic Zhou Lu had always kept his word. He would definitely not let her uncle off…

The only solution was to obtain Zhou Lu's forgiveness, but how could he forgive her?

Jiang Yan had clearly said that she would be back soon, but she had only returned after more than an hour.

The moment she entered, she saw Zhou Lu holding a phone and Su Jian holding a laptop. The two of them were busy with their own things.

Jiang Yan was a little helpless, she knocked on the door and said to them, "Let's go eat."

Only then did Zhou Lu shift his gaze away from the phone and slowly say, "My girlfriend wants to have dinner with me. I wonder if CEO Jiang is okay with it?"
