While Ning Xiaoxiao was crazily acting with Xu Mo as a couple, she was also carefully observing Lu Qing's expression. She wanted to know something from Lu Qing's expression.

However, Lu Qing still wore a face as cold as his own, without the slightest change.

Ning Xiaoxiao was immediately discouraged. She had wasted her emotions for such a long period of time.

"Miss Ning, I'll put the divorce certificate on the table."

Lin Yi felt that the atmosphere was very strange. The two of them looked at each other with cold expressions, as if they were trying to stare into a hole.

"Then I'll thank Lin Te and CEO Lu."

Ning Xiaoxiao purposely enunciated the words "CEO Lu" word by word so that Lu Qing could hear it clearly. However, compared to the genuine Ning Xiaoxiao, she seemed exceptionally childish.

Lin Yi placed the divorce certificate on the table. Standing respectfully behind Lu Qing, he watched as the two old men looked at each other.

"If you marry Ye Yutong, then I want to marry Xu Mo as well!"

Ning Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to call out to him as she made her final struggle.

Lu Qing stood where he was as he wished.

"That's Miss Ning's freedom. Congratulations, Miss Ning."

Lu Qing had his back facing Ning Xiaoxiao. Ning Xiaoxiao could not see Lu Qing's expression, but as Lu Qing said each word, Ning Xiaoxiao's heart was instantly buried in the dirt.

"CEO Lu, today is the day for you and Miss Ye to try out the rings."

After leaving the hospital, Lu Qing had a low pressure on his head. Lin Yi could only carefully probe him.

Lin Yi carefully looked at Lu Qing in the rearview mirror.

Lu Qing was lying in the back seat with his eyes closed. The tiredness on his face couldn't be concealed.

Lin Yi thought that Lu Qing did not hear him and could only say it again.

"CEO Lu, today …"

"Yes."

Lu Qing interrupted Lin Yi with a rough voice, causing Lin Yi to carefully shrink back.

He and Lu Qing had cooperated with each other for so many years. Although Lu Qing often had a cold face and did not speak much, he was a truly gentle person. He had never been so irritable and interrupted him before.

Lin Yi had noticed Lu Qing's abnormality since the morning. He had already been divorced from Ning Xiaoxiao for two years, and Lu Qing always had two divorce certificates in his hands. He never gave Ning Xiaoxiao the one that belonged to Ning Xiaoxiao.

Lin Yi thought that Ning Xiaoxiao didn't want it. He didn't expect that Lu Qing hadn't given it to her. He didn't know why, but he had to personally make a trip to the hospital to deliver it to Ning Xiaoxiao.

He thought that Lu Qing was going to save Ning Xiaoxiao, but he didn't expect that the other party was only going to give him the divorce certificate.

"Then, should we head over now?"

Lin Yi probed.

Lu Qing nodded his head behind him, then rubbed his temples as he looked out the window tiredly.

For some reason, Lin Yi suddenly felt a little sorry for Lu Qing, who had always been alone. Even during his most difficult period, he had been this alone, and occasionally, Ye Yutong would appear. No wonder Lu Qing had to give her a promise.

"Has your pestilence left?"

Xu Mo took a mouthful of soup and asked Ning Xiaoxiao vaguely.

"The plague god in my house drinks soup opposite me. Do you want it?"

"Hey!" I can't afford it. The most awesome surgeon in the entire Second Courtyard is too expensive! "

"Do you even want a little face? Do you even want a little face?"

Ning Xiaoxiao raised her chopsticks and struck towards Xu Mo's head.

Xu Mo hugged his head while avoiding Ning Xiaoxiao's chopsticks.

"You should be the one to shamelessly take care of the most important matters!"

"Ning Xiaoxiao, you betrayed your friend in silence!"

"That's how I got the name of your lover."

Xu Mo's three consecutive accusations, coupled with the expression on his face, made Ning Xiaoxiao laugh.

"Some call themselves lovers!"

"Xu Mo, why are you so ferocious?"

"What? You saw the divorce certificate, so now you're at ease?"

Ning Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment.

"Doctor Ning said that her husband would bring her food. I was wondering who it was, but it turns out that Doctor Xu had beaten her to it."

Zhang Chi stood at the dining hall table and smiled at Ning Xiaoxiao and Xu Mo.

Ning Xiaoxiao did not know why, but she felt complicated emotions when she saw Zhang Chi.

He chose to lower his head and continue picking at his food.

"Why is Mr. Zhang here?"

Xu Mo said politely.

"Father said the porridge in the second courtyard's third dining hall was the best. I specifically came to buy it."

"Mr Zhang is really filial!"

"What filial son, it's all thanks to the crow!"

Ning Xiaoxiao kept her head down as she ate her food. Even a fool could tell that Zhang Chi was lying. It was well-known that the porridge in the entire canteen was not tasty. Why did she come to the canteen now?

However, Ning Xiaoxiao was too lazy to expose Zhang Chi.

"I wonder if I, Zhang, would be lucky enough to have lunch with the two of you?"

Zhang Chi asked politely, but he had already sat down across from Ning Xiaoxiao.

"Of course not, please feel free, Mr. Zhang!"

"Then you guys take your time, I'm leaving first!"

Just as Zhang Chi sat down, Ning Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth and stood up.

He thought Zhang Chi was a person with good intentions, but he didn't expect Zhang Chi to be unable to understand Ning Xiaoxiao's hint.

"I've just arrived, and Doctor Ning is about to leave. Does she not want to have a meal with me?"

Ning Xiaoxiao really wanted to place a bowl of soup on Zhang Chi's smiling face. She just didn't want to eat with him, so what?

However, Ning Xiaoxiao could not help but smile in her heart as she sat down.

"Based on what Mr. Zhang said, how could that be!"

"Miss Ning, please do your best to take care of my father!"

Since Zhang Chi was inviting her in front of everyone, Ning Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse, so she could only smile and nod.

"Then I'll accept it!"

Since Zhang Chi was pulling the acid for her, Ning Xiaoxiao had to do whatever she wanted.

However, having dinner with Zhang Chi tomorrow was a difficult thing to do. Xu Mo had a major surgery to do and couldn't accompany him. If that was the case, wouldn't he have to eat alone with Zhang Chi?

"Doctor Ning, please don't refuse. I've checked on purpose, tomorrow will be Doctor Ning's day off."

Zhang Chi had come prepared, as he had really cut off Ning Xiaoxiao's escape routes.

Ning Xiaoxiao laughed bitterly. Xu Mo could only give her an expression of helplessness.

"Mr. Zhang is too courteous. It's just that I paid my respects to a godmother a few years ago. I've been dreading this for quite some time, so I might have to disappoint you."

Ning Xiaoxiao made a strange lie as she made her final struggle.

Hearing Ning Xiaoxiao's lie, Xu Mo choked on the food in his bowl. He turned to look at Ning Xiaoxiao and saw that she was serious. On the other hand, Zhang Chi didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he looked at Ning Xiaoxiao calmly.

"Miss Ning, don't worry. It doesn't matter if you eat private food or not."

Xu Mo silently swallowed the rice that was choked in his throat.

Seeing that her last hope had been shattered, Ning Xiaoxiao lowered her head in silence.
