Chapter 92: Can You Give Me a Chance?

Bai Zhi met his gaze, her eyes filled with deep confusion. "You didn't say that last time. What made you change your mind?" He had mentioned breaking off the engagement before and said he would explain his thoughts to the old man.

She really wanted to know his reasons for making this decision.

"Because of work, I hadn't considered dating before, nor was I ready for marriage. Now, I think we can try getting to know each other..."

Bai Zhi interrupted him, "Company Commander Lu, with your personality, you are not the kind of person who will compromise."

His expression was firm. "I will not compromise."

"Bai Zhi, I admit that when you first started treating me, I only treated you as my attending physician, and I even thought that we would break off our engagement after you finished treating me."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But... you can't blame me for this."

"Huh? So it's my fault?" Bai Zhi's expression was strange.

He said, "I'll show you something tonight, and you'll understand."

Looking for something?

What is that?

What could possibly cause such a drastic change in his attitude towards her?

Could this also help her understand him?

As she tilted her head in thought, Lu Ye's voice reached her ears again.

What...do you think of me?

Bai Zhi shrugged. "I don't know much about it, and I don't have any particular opinion."

“Then we need to get to know each other better.” He leaned forward again, getting closer, his tone ambiguous, “Give me a chance, hmm?”

Bai Zhi quickly leaned back to create distance between them, then changed the subject, "Why isn't Grandpa Lu back yet? Go check on him, don't fall!"

Lu Ye remained seated, saying, "The old man is still very healthy and will be fine."

The reason he hasn't come back yet is probably because he doesn't want to be a third wheel.

The old man has a keen eye for this.

He looked at her and asked for her opinion for the third time, "Could you give me a chance to get to know you?"

Because of his closeness, his breath brushed against her face as he spoke, and she turned her head slightly, feeling uncomfortable, and replied, "I plan to go see my grandfather."

"I'll go with you wherever he is," Lu Ye said without hesitation.

"Oh? You're going too?"

Lu Ye looked at her pitifully, "I'm your patient, I can't live without you now."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly. She said sarcastically, "You're not trying to tie me down by cultivating our relationship because you're afraid I won't treat your illness, are you?"

“Based on my understanding of you, you are fair and impartial and won’t refuse to treat me.” Lu Ye’s expression returned to clarity as he analyzed with a smile, “If you really intend to give up treatment, I can’t use so-called feelings to manipulate you.”

Bai Zhi gave him a thumbs up, "Poison."

Indeed, public and private matters are clearly separated.

Even if she and Lu Ye don't end up together, she will still take him on as a patient.

She will cure him as long as he pays.

Lu Ye asked again, "Where is Old Master Ye now? I'll go with you to find him. You've already met my grandfather, so I should meet your maternal grandfather too."

Only an engagement that is approved by both sets of parents is valid.

Bai Zhi recalled, "He seemed to be in Yunwu Mountain, but I'm not sure. He travels around a lot and doesn't stay in one place for too long."

Lu Ye said, "Then I should accompany you to find him. It's not safe for you to go alone as a girl."

He suddenly seemed like a different person, considerate and gentle, which she found somewhat unusual.

The key point is that she thought today's meal was a dinner to call off the engagement.

To be honest, Lu Ye's words made her somewhat unsettled.

Instead of mentioning breaking off the engagement, he wanted to cultivate their relationship. She, who already had a slight, subtle feeling for him, couldn't bring herself to firmly propose breaking off the engagement.

After using the restroom, Old Master Lu stood at the corner, craning his neck to look at the two people chatting in the private room.

He was a little hard of hearing, and since they were speaking softly and were quite far away, he couldn't hear them very clearly.

But he saw that the ice block in his house was leaning forward, getting closer to Bai Zhi.

When he speaks, his face is no longer the same poker face he always has.

How should I put it?

He seemed to see a plea in his eldest grandson's face.

Old Lu silently applauded in his heart.

It's over.

Someone has fallen in love.

......

"Grandpa, what are you doing here? Is there anything I can help you with?"

As the waiter's crisp voice rang out, Bai Zhi and Lu Ye both looked toward the entrance of the private room.

With an awkward, stiff smile, Old Lu explained, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just came back from the restroom. My legs were a little tired, so I stopped for a moment."

He tried his best to explain, making sure that Lu Ye and Bai Zhi didn't know he had been standing outside for almost five minutes.

"Then let me help you inside."

The waiter politely helped Mr. Lu into the private room.

"Okay, thank you, young lady."

"Grandpa, what's wrong with your leg?" Lu Ye raised an eyebrow and asked with concern.

Old Lu's eyes flickered slightly. "It's nothing, it's just that my legs went numb from squatting."

After he sat down, he looked at the table full of food and called out to them, "Come on, let's eat. You two haven't touched your chopsticks much."

He said that, but he was secretly delighted.

The two young people were so engrossed in their conversation that they forgot about eating.

He winked at his eldest grandson, "Xiao Ye, serve Xiao Zhi some food."

"Oh." Lu Ye obediently picked up a slice of roast duck for Bai Zhi and a piece of food for the old man.

With his eldest grandson being so sensible, the weight on Old Master Lu's mind finally lifted, and he ate heartily with great relish.

After finishing her meal, Bai Zhi said she had to go to work.

Old Master Lu then gestured to Lu Ye to take the person to the pharmacy.

"Xiaozhi, what time do you get off work this afternoon? I'll have Xiaoye pick you up and take you home to stay."

"Grandpa, I'm picking up Xiaobai this afternoon to go see a movie, so I won't be home for dinner."

"Yes, yes, yes, go to the movies. You young people should go to the movies."

Grandpa Lu was overjoyed.

Once this ice cube understands something, it knows everything.

That's true. They're not stupid. How could they be so clueless as to know nothing? Even if you've never eaten pork, you can still learn a trick or two just by watching pigs run.

He used to simply not want to spend time on this.

"You don't need to see me off. I'll go to the pharmacy myself. You and Grandpa Lu should go home early."

"good."

Bai Zhi's heart was pounding because of what Lu Ye said during the meal.

Lu Ye said he wanted to show her something.

What could it be?

She trusted Lu Ye's character.

Since he said he didn't want to cultivate a relationship with her just to appease Grandpa Lu, he shouldn't be inconsistent with his words.

So, is he genuinely trying to get to know her?

And what about her?

Are you willing to give him a chance to get to know each other?

The lingering feeling she had suppressed in her past life has now quietly begun to sprout again.

She shook her head, not letting these emotions affect her.

Let's see what he's going to show her first.

Can we give her a plausible reason?

........

When Lu Ye drove home with Grandpa Lu, the living room was full of people.

"Dad, what's going on between you and Xiaoye? Why are you eating out all of a sudden?" Wang Shufen asked, her voice full of reproach as she saw them return. "Didn't you know Xiaohai was coming back today too? You're so biased."
