After talking with Doctor Lu, Xie Ming and Liwei left to leave for home.
While going to the parking, Xie Ming kept glancing at Liwei. He was quiet yet seems normal. He didn't look strange or cold to her.
She was confused exactly what he was thinking. After treating Mrs. Lu, now she got involved with the case or autistic child.
She was worried if he still believed the words of learning medicine abroad.
In the car, while Liwei was driving, Xie Ming was busy glancing at him.
" Do you have something to say?" Liwei asked as he sensed her constant gaze on him.
Xie Ming looked at him, startled " No… Nothing."
Xie Ming didn't say anything since Liwei didn't ask her but she was worried seeing that he was not speaking as well.
Liwei's lips curled upwards seeing her reaction. He didn't say anything and focused on the road.
By now, he had understood that Xie Ming was hiding something. Because according to his investigation, Xie Ming never got in contact with anyone named Zhao Bai.
There was no information of her learning medicine from anyone instead she was more interested in fashion.
He also found it odd that there was a huge change in her personality. At first, he thought that she had a change of heart after getting up from a coma but this can't possibly bring this much change.
She started cooking traditional dishes and that too, better than his mother. He knows that the Xie Ming in the past didn't know the basics of cooking.
Also, she not only treated the pregnant woman but also today she detected that the child has autism.
From Doctor Lu's words, it was clear that it's not easy to detect autism in children unless one has years of experience.
However, despite his suspicions, he doesn't want to ask her directly. He wanted her to tell him whenever she felt like it.
He was sure that Xie Ming was surely a special girl and her secret must be as special as her.
But since their relationship is going smoothly, he knows that she will tell her everything when she will feel like it.
….
" Where are we going?" Xie Ming asked when she realized that they weren't going home.
" To eat." Liwei said as he took a turn.
Xie Ming nodded as it was past lunch time because so much time was wasted in the hospital.
After a while, Liwei stopped the car in front of the restaurant and passed the car keys to the valet.
Liwei stepped out of the car and went to Xie Ming's side and opened the door for her.
Xie Ming smiled and held onto his hand and got out of the car and went into the restaurant.
…
In the restaurant Liwei ordered all the favourite dishes of Xie Ming.
Xie Ming was relieved because Liwei seemed to be normal as he didn't ask her anything.
While eating Liwei looked at her eating elegantly with her posture prim and proper.
Xie Ming suddenly looked up and saw him staring at her which caught him off guard
Xie Ming smiled when she saw him looking at her.
" Ahmm.. I just received a message from Doctor Lu."
" What is he saying?"
" He is apologizing that he needs to postpone today's dinner to some other day."
Xie Ming raised her brows in question and asked, " Why?"
Xie Ming was confused because they just left the hospital and he invited them for dinner but now he was postponing it.
" He said that he has to attend an emergency meeting while he just found out that his parents have gone out of the city and will come tomorrow only." he said while looking at his phone.
Doctor Lu doesn't stay with his family and lives in the apartment near his hospital, that's why he didn't know that his parents are out of the city.
Also, it will be strange to call them for dinner when he is not there himself.
Xie Ming blinked her eyes as she shrugged her shoulders. She felt that it's for the better because she doesn't want to go to Lu Mansion as well. .
She was hell tired and wanted to go home and rest. She has a photoshoot tomorrow, so she needs to rest well
.
Liwei didn't say anything and smiled.
After eating, Liwei paid the bill as they got up from their seats and proceeded to exit the restaurant.
" Liwei."
They halted in their steps when a feminine low voice called out Liwei's name.
Xie Ming's brows furrowed as she turned around to see who was calling Liwei with his first name.
Because not everyone can call him with his name. Generally, others call him as Jin Liwei or Mr. Jin while only close friends and family designate him like this.
Xie Ming frowned when she saw a woman who was fair, slim and tall walking towards them. The woman was wearing a red colored bodycon dress with straps.
Her nude high heels were making her look much taller and attractive. Xie Ming pursed her lips because the woman in front of her looked beautiful and attractive even to her.
Her cat-like eyes and dark brown hair were giving her complex issues. However, before she could ask the woman who she is, Liwei interrupted her.
" Bai Xiuren?" Liwei called out the woman in surprise.
The woman smiled lightly as she walked towards them.
" When did you came back from Australia?" Liwei asked as he stretched his hand to hand shake with her but the woman raised her arms to give him a hug.
Xie Ming saw the awkward expressions on the woman's face as she shook hands with Liwei.
" I came a few days back. " she smiled while looking at Liwie. Her gaze fell on Xie Ming as she shifted it back to Liwei.
Xie Ming frowned when she saw that the woman glanced at her indifferently. She didn't even smile while doing so.
" And she is?" Bai Xie Ren looked at Xie Ming politely as she asked Liwei.
" Oh, yeah, let me introduce two of you. She is Xie Ming, my wife." Liwei placed his hand around Xie Ming and squeezed her shoulders lightly
The polite smile in Bai Xie Ren's face disappeared when she heard Liwei's words.
She saw Liwei's hand around Xie Ming wrapped intimately.
Though she managed her expressions and put on a smile on her face as she said," I never knew that you were married."
" Yeah. After all, you and Bai Ju went to Australia soon after graduation and we didn't have any communication after that." he said as he was reminded about the past.
He, Bai Ju and Xiao Jun were childhood friends who went to the same school and Bai Xiuren is Bai Ju's sister.
She always hangs out with them and they allowed her as well because they knew that Bai Xiuren has a peculiar personality which is hard to get with everyone.
" Xie Ming, do you remember about my childhood friend Bai Ju about whom I told you before." he asked her as he looked at her.
Xie Ming nodded as she remembered that he talked about him when they went to the high class restaurant in Bali.
" She is his twin sister, Bai Xiuren. "
Xie Ming nodded as she understood. She smiled at her and shook hands with her politely.
However, while shaking hands, she felt that Bai Xiuren put extra force to it. Xie Ming felt uncomfortable seeing her reaction but didn't say anything.
Xie Ming forced a smile as she retracted her hand from the handshake.
