Her words nearly caused Jiang Shaokai to fall off the bed.
This babe, Su Jianan, was usually so bright. But why would she turn into such a dimwit whenever things involved matters of the heart?
Lu Boyan had followed her all the way here, did she really think that Lu Boyan would leave her alone in the same room with himself?
Too young, too simple!
Su Jianan even had the nerve to ask Lu Boyan to leave? "F*ck," Jiang Shaokai thought, "At this rate, I'm going to lose the privilege to stay in this air-conditioned, wifi-equipped luxurious hospital room."
"Ahem!" In the interest of his luxurious indulgence, Jiang Shaokai decided to give out the "get out of my premises" speech. "Jianan, we can discuss work-related matters when I'm back at work. Besides, the case had remained unsolved for so many years. It's not like we can solve it in a few hours. I have a bunch of check-ups lined up this afternoon. You really should give me a break."
Coincidentally, the door opened and a young woman who wore a nurse's uniform came in. "Mr. Jiang, you should..."
"It's time for my check-up, isn't it?" Jiang Shaokai cut the nurse off. "Very well. Let's head over right away."
Any nurse who worked in this prestigious hospital would have more than just professional qualifications. Their ability to be quick on their feet was stellar as well. With a straight face, the nurse came over and helped Jiang Shaokai up. "Doctor Liu is ready for you. If you pass your examinations this time, you will be discharged..."
The voices of Jiang Shaokai and the nurse drifted further and further away. Su Jianan estimated that Jiang Shaokai would not be returning for a long while, so she stood up and told Lu Boyan, "Let's head home first, then."
Once the words left her mouth, she noticed the dark look on Lu Boyan's countenance. He turned around abruptly and stalked out of the room. As he walked, his strides were huge and unhesitating. He had left her inside the room without so much as a backward glance.
In the past, he would grab her hand and then he would lead her out.
Su Jianan clenched her left hand into a fist. In her heart, she felt a slight and inexplicable disappointment. She strode out in pursuit of Lu Boyan and found that he was already inside the elevator. The doors were slowly sliding close.
"Wait for me!"
She ran down the corridor as if she were doing a 100-meter sprint. The gap between the two doors became smaller and smaller, but yet Lu Boyan did not seem to have the intention to wait for her at all. Slowly, his tall and strong from vanished from her sight.
"What's the meaning of this?" she thought.
Su Jianan halted her steps and stood about three or four meters from the elevator. She looked at the elevator doors, which were now gapless and entirely sealed. All of a sudden, she felt disgruntled.
Just when she thought Lu Boyan had really abandoned her, the elevator doors slid open. Lu Boyan's hand was holding down the button. "Get in!" he ordered.
Slowly, she walked into the elevator. Lu Boyan released the button and the elevator made its gradual descent.
Neither of them uttered a word. The silence treatment lasted even after they got out of the elevator. Lu Boyan was walking in front due to his long strides. At first, Su Jianan had jogged to keep up with his pace. But eventually, she was out of breath and had defiantly decided to walk at her own pace. Soon, there was a huge gap between them.
When Lu Boyan opened the passenger door, he realized that Su Jianan had fallen at least ten meters behind. She was walking slowly with her head turned to the side. She refused to look at him.
