Chapter 278: Secretly in love with me?

He looked at Bai Zhi with disdain and clicked his tongue twice, "Look at you, you're about to get married and you still don't know anything about her schedule. Is that appropriate?"

“I’m telling you, you have to set rules for him from now on. No matter where he goes or how long he stays, he has to report to you. You have to keep an eye on him.”

Bai Zhi, "!!!"

She scoffed, "You seem quite experienced."

Xie Zheng said confidently, "Of course, is everyone as naive as you?"

"Do you know if someone has a crush on you?" Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked tentatively.

Xie Zheng looked completely bewildered. "Who?"

"You don't feel anything?" Seeing Xie Zheng's blank expression, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

How could he not notice when everyone else's reactions were so obvious?

So slow.

Faced with Bai Zhi's ever-changing expression, Xie Zheng was so frightened that he crossed his arms over his chest in a protective gesture. "You don't have a crush on me, do you? You shouldn't mess with your friend's wife."

Bai Zhi, "......."

Xie Zheng didn't give Bai Zhi a chance to speak. He spoke very seriously, "Well, Bai Zhi, let me explain to you seriously. When I first met you, I often went around you. I did have some impure thoughts. I admit that I wanted to get close to you and ruin your plans in order to get back at Lu Ye, but I really didn't have any improper thoughts about you."

Bai Zhi, "???"

Xie Zheng looked guilty, seemingly afraid of hurting Bai Zhi's self-esteem, and chose his words very carefully, "It's not that you're not good enough, but love is something that depends on feelings. In my heart, you're like my own sister."

"Get lost, what are you saying?" Bai Zhi kicked him without hesitation. "You think I have a crush on you? Are you out of your mind?"

She discovered that Xie Zheng's thought process was different from that of normal people.

She was just trying to subtly probe whether he knew that his childhood sweetheart had feelings for him.

This bastard actually dragged her into this; he's completely insane.

"Do you think I'd like a pretty boy like you?"

Faced with Bai Zhi's mocking tone and undisguised contempt, he became agitated, "What pretty boy? Can't you speak properly? I'm a tough guy."

"Look, I have muscles too."

Xie Zheng had just rolled up his sleeves, clenching his fist to show off his arm muscles, when an angry male voice rang out, "What are you doing?"

As soon as Lu Zheng'an and Ye Qingbai arrived, they saw Xie Zheng rolling up his sleeves in front of Bai Zhi, showing off his pitiful arm muscles.

Ye Qingbai's handsome face darkened slightly. Ignoring the fact that he was in someone else's house, he rushed over and shoved Xie Zheng aside, saying, "Hey Xie, what are you doing? Please have some self-respect."

Because Lu Zheng'an was nearby, Ye Qingbai restrained his emotions, his sharp eyes shooting at Xie Zheng, gritting his teeth as he warned him.

Lu Zheng'an looked at Xie Zheng with a sullen face and said with disappointment, "Xie Zheng, you're not getting any younger. Xiao Zhi is your cousin-in-law. What kind of behavior is this?"

"I......."

Xie Zheng was speechless and looked helpless. "Forget it, you won't listen even if I explain."

He sighed and turned to leave.

Ye Qingbai thought Xie Zheng was running away out of guilt, which made him even angrier. At this moment, in the military compound, especially in front of Lu Zheng'an, he could not act rashly.

“Cousin, if he ever disrespects you again, tell me, and I'll stand up for you.”

Bai Zhi, fearing a misunderstanding, explained, "Cousin, Xie Zheng just asked me to check on the recovery of his arm; he didn't mean anything else."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng'an responded with an "oh," his expression relaxing.

"I knew that kid wasn't that clueless."

Lu Zheng'an smiled at Ye Qingbai and said, "Qingbai, it's all a misunderstanding, don't be angry."

Because Ye Qingbai was Bai Zhi's cousin, Lu Zheng'an was exceptionally polite to him.

She was also worried that Ye Qingbai, as a member of her family, might misunderstand that Xie Zheng had unusual feelings for Bai Zhi, causing misunderstandings and affecting everyone's relationship.

Lu Zheng'an explained to him politely, and Ye Qingbai was flattered and hurriedly nodded in response, "Uncle Lu, I'm not angry."

Ye Rufeng and Elder Lu had finished their conversation and were about to leave.

Wang Shufen finally seized the opportunity, looking at Ye Rufeng with a fawning smile and pleading, "Dr. Ye, could you please take my pulse and see if I need to adjust my medication? I only have two days' worth of my last dose."

Before Ye Rufeng could speak, Old Master Lu spoke first, "Shufen, after you finish taking your medicine, go to Jishengtang to see a doctor. You need to complete the full course of treatment."

Although Old Lu was not a doctor, he understood the principle that one should not knock on doors to seek medical help.

He knew exactly what his second daughter-in-law was up to.

Too lazy to move, only want to take shortcuts.

Boss Lu gave Wang Shufen a look, signaling her to go back inside.

Wang Shufen wanted to try again, but Lu Ya, being perceptive, quickly came over to help her.

Ye Rufeng smiled and asked Old Lu, "Shanshan is quite busy with work?"

Old Lu sighed, "Yes, I'm busy. I only come back every few days."

"Your personal problems haven't been resolved yet?" Ye Rufeng asked casually.

"Sigh." Old Lu sighed deeply when this issue was raised. "She puts all her energy into her work and never mentions personal matters. There's nothing we elders can do about it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Rufeng smiled and agreed, "Yes, look at Qingbai, he's already twenty-five or twenty-six and hasn't even settled his personal life yet, but he's not in a hurry at all."

"Qingbai is a very outstanding boy with a good personality. What kind of girl does he like? If there's someone suitable, we'll all introduce him to her."

Mr. Lu said with great interest, "Xie Yun is a middle school teacher. There are many excellent female teachers in the school. We can ask Xie Yun to help introduce some to us."

Ye Rufeng waved his hand and laughed, "Never mind, this kid won't let us get involved, he probably has someone on his mind."

"Oh, I see."

When Old Master Lu heard that Ye Qingbai also had someone in his heart, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't think it was a good thing.

Because he thought of Lu Shan.

Isn't Lu Shan in his family also single because she has someone in her heart?

Every young person who doesn't want to be in a relationship probably has someone unattainable living in their heart.

A troublesome person.

As Lu Ya helped Wang Shufen into the bedroom, she overheard Ye Rufeng's conversation with her father-in-law. Her eyes darted around, and she looked at her daughter who was helping her.

Lu Ya met her mother's ill-intentioned gaze, thinking that she was trying to pester Doctor Ye for treatment again.

She reminded her impatiently, "Mom, what are you looking at me for? Go inside and rest. Have some manners."

Wang Shufen was helped into the house by Lu Ya. She said, "Come on, let's go inside. I have something to tell you."

Meanwhile, Ye Rufeng's conversation in the living room didn't continue.

He glanced at his watch, intending to say goodbye to Elder Lu, and called Bai Zhi and Ye Qingbai to go back together.

Originally, Mr. Lu and the others wanted Bai Zhi to stay at their home for one night. She had stayed at their home when she first came to Nancheng, but now that they had their own house, they no longer had the chance to persuade Bai Zhi to stay.

Before leaving, Ye Qingbai glanced around the living room again, but didn't see Lu Shan.

Ye Rufeng glanced at him, then chatted with Old Master Lu for a few minutes, reminding him to take care of his health and to avoid certain foods.

The two old men were chatting when Lu Shan came out of the kitchen and followed them to see them off.

Ye Rufeng instantly gave Ye Qingbai a wink. Ye Qingbai turned to look at Lu Shan and greeted her, "Dr. Lu, we'll be going now."
