Chapter 283: Guess why she doesn't have a boyfriend?

"Thank you." Xie Zheng looked at him, her expression genuinely moved.

Lu Ye didn't say much, but simply said, "You're welcome."

He knew Xie Zheng had misunderstood something, thinking that he had come specifically to see his performance.

But Lu Zheng did not choose to explain.

Lu Ye looked at Gu Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, your mother went home alone. You should go home and see her soon."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyue blinked in surprise, "My mother is here too? I didn't see her. She said she wasn't coming."

Xie Zheng was equally surprised to hear that Mu Qin had come to the theater to see his performance.

Of course, I felt mostly moved.

Does Aunt Mu's willingness to come to his performance mean that she, like him, is also willing to overcome her inner struggles and accept reality?

Gu Xiaoyue was originally going back to school, but after Lu Ye said that, she decided to go home to see her mother.

She said to Xie Zheng, "Brother Zheng, I'll go now. I'm going home to see my mom."

"Okay, you go back first. I'll visit Auntie at home tomorrow."

It was getting late, and Xie Zheng was worried about Gu Xiaoyue going home alone. His gaze fell on Shen Qian, and he said to her, "Xiaoqian, did you come by bike? Why don't you give Xiaoyue a ride and check if Aunt Mu got home safely? After you're done, send me a page."

Xie Zheng explained, "I need to go to the company with my teammates now. We need to review tonight's performance. They are still waiting for me."

When Shen Qian heard that Xie Zheng wanted her to see Gu Xiaoyue off, her eyes darkened slightly, but she ultimately agreed to Xie Zheng's request.

She looked at Xie Zheng, a kind and understanding smile on her face, and said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll page you after I finish reading Aunt Mu's message."

"Yes, thank you for your help."

Xie Zheng greeted everyone and then went to meet up with his teammates before leaving.

At this time, the elderly people have already started yawning.

Lu Ye's car could only seat four people, so Bai Zhi told him to just take Xie's parents and his own parents home, while she and her cousin went home together.

If everyone doesn't waste any time, they can get some rest earlier.

She looked at Lu Ye with gentle eyes and said, "You take Grandpa Xie and the others home first. See you tomorrow."

"Then please be careful."

Lu Ye instructed Ye Qingbai to ride slowly, and then let the elderly people get on the vehicle.

At first, his parents were unwilling to take the car, saying they would take a taxi themselves and ask Lu Ye to take Bai Zhi home.

But seeing that Bai Zhi had already gotten on Ye Qingbai's motorcycle, they had no choice but to give up.

"Dr. Lu, it's getting late, please ride slowly," Ye Qingbai said to Lu Shan, who was riding alongside him, with concern before starting his bike.

"Okay, you too, be careful."

Lu Shan waved to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, I'm leaving."

After speaking, the motorcycle sped away gracefully.

Ye Qingbai's motorcycle followed.

After following Lu Shan's car for a street, it turned and changed direction.

Bai Zhi sat on the back of the motorcycle. Because it was night, Ye Qingbai rode very steadily, not as wildly as usual.

At this speed, the two people can chat without any disruption.

"Cousin, you seem to care quite a bit about Dr. Lu, huh?" Bai Zhi chatted with him casually, smiling as she spoke.

Ye Qingbai was focused on cycling. Upon hearing her words, he asked in return, "Really?"

His tone was casual, but the way he gripped the handlebars betrayed his nervousness.

He made an excuse, saying, "We're all acquaintances, and now we're relatives, so we've been interacting more than before. Don't misunderstand."

Bai Zhi laughed and said, "Don't say that, I almost misunderstood. Last time you gave Dr. Lu fruit, she mentioned that our department would give it to me and Dr. Shen. When I heard that you specially gave her fruit, I was shocked. I thought you were going to pursue her. But then I thought, Dr. Lu is several years older than you, and you are Lu Ye's subordinate. She must treat you like a younger brother. You must also treat Dr. Lu like an older sister."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, a trace of melancholy flashed across Ye Qingbai's eyes.

Ye Qingbai denied it, saying, "What's wrong with a girl being a few years older? I don't treat her like an older sister. Although our two families are related, I don't call her 'older sister' like you do."

Bai Zhi never expected that he would so openly admit his feelings.

She raised an eyebrow. "Cousin, what do you mean? You don't actually like Dr. Lu, do you?"

"I........"

Ye Qingbai rode his bicycle and, using the excuse that there were too many bicycles on the road and it was difficult to travel, stopped talking.

When they arrived at the door, Ye Qingbai stopped the motorcycle, and Bai Zhi jumped off the motorcycle, intending to open the door.

Afraid of disturbing her grandfather's rest while he was sleeping, Bai Zhi deliberately moved very quietly.

"Xiao Zhi, wait a minute." Ye Qingbai, who had been preoccupied with his thoughts the whole way, finally couldn't help but call out to Bai Zhi.

"Cousin, what's wrong?" Bai Zhi turned to look at him and asked.

Ye Qingbai looked at Bai Zhi, nervously swallowed, and stammered, "If I really want to pursue Dr. Lu, do you think it's possible to succeed? Would you support me?"

After speaking, he unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides, eagerly awaiting Bai Zhi's reply.

"Cousin, are you serious?" Bai Zhi asked with a smile.

Ye Qingbai's tense expression was replaced by a serious one. "Yes, I'm serious."

“Cousin, whether we support it or not won’t make much difference. You know that Dr. Lu is a very opinionated, mature and independent woman.”

Bai Zhi pondered for a few seconds and continued, "You should also think about why she's almost thirty and still doesn't have a boyfriend?"

Ye Qingbai replied without hesitation, "She's busy with work and doesn't have time for personal relationships."

“Being busy with work is definitely one factor, but I heard she’s talked about it before,” Bai Zhi subtly reminded her.

After all, it was Lu Shan's private matter, and given that Gu Jingyi's fate was currently unknown, Bai Zhi couldn't mention to Ye Qingbai that Lu Shan's boyfriend was Gu Jingyi.

But she still hoped that Ye Qingbai could understand what she meant.

"Dr. Lu has someone in her heart, which is why she is still single."

Bai Zhi had already gone this far, and she cruelly reminded Ye Qingbai, "Cousin, I think matters of the heart require mutual affection. Since she already has someone else in her heart, let's not force it. Why don't you look at other girls?"

Bai Zhi's words seemed to have poured cold water on Ye Qingbai's originally passionate heart.

It instantly turned cold.

Does Dr. Lu have someone in his heart?

So she chose to remain single because she suffered emotional trauma from failed relationships?

Seeing his dejected appearance, Bai Zhi felt sorry for him. She tried to lighten the mood by saying, "How about I introduce you to someone? You can choose someone who is a doctor if you like."

Shen Qian also has someone in her heart, otherwise she really would have liked to introduce Shen Qian to someone else.

However, given Ye Qingbai's qualifications, he could certainly introduce even more outstanding girls if he wanted to.

Ye Qingbai forced a smile and shook his head in refusal, "No need."

He walked to the door and gestured to Bai Zhi, "Open the door, let's go inside."

Bai Zhi opened the gate, and the two of them quietly entered the courtyard and went back to their respective houses.
