Fu Jinchen immediately felt his temples throbbing a few times. He glared at Xia Jingyang unhappily and said, "Who's your cousin? I don't seem to be that familiar with you."

"I'm sorry." Xia Jingyang smiled lightly and extended his right hand towards Fu Jinchen, "This is the second time we've met. Hi, I'm Xia Jingyang."

Fu Jinchen let out a dry cough and glanced at Chu Liang. "Hello, my name is Fu …"

"Dr. Xia, are you working today? Why are you still around the hospital this weekend?" Chu Liang appropriately changed the topic, causing Xia Jingyang to look over.

"Yes, I have an operation today. I've been booked for a long time, so I have to work overtime to be able to trust my patient."

Xia Jingyang had a gentle smile on his face. Chu Liang nodded as he cast a sidelong glance at Fu Jinchen.

"Liang, is this someone you know?" Yang Duoduo asked softly. Chu Liang thought for a moment, then nodded, "Dr. Xia who lives in the same district as us."

"So it's a doctor." Yang Duoduo's eyes brightened as she stretched out her hand towards Xia Jingyang, "Hello, I'm Chu Liang's good friend, Yang Duoduo."

Xia Jingyang was stately for a moment, then he immediately shook hands with Yang Duoduo: "Hello, Miss Yang."

Yang Duoduo covered her mouth and mouthed to Chu Liang, "This doctor looks like a good person."

"Oh right, Miss Chu, why haven't you come to change your medicine with me during this week?" Xia Jingyang suddenly thought of something and his gaze landed on Chu Liang's wrist, "Is the wound better now?"

Chu Liang thought about it for a while. During this week, it seemed like he had changed the medicine for himself, so he had long forgotten about going to the hospital.

Chu Liang nodded his head as the corners of his mouth drew a slight curve, "It's much better now."

Xia Jingyang looked at Chu Liang with some concern, "Why don't you come back to the hospital with me after dinner? I'll help you check it out."

Just as Chu Liang was about to reply, Fu Jinchen coughed and said, "Cousin, I'm hungry."

Chu Liang choked back the words that he had not said before looking at Xia Jingyang with an apologetic smile, "We have some business to attend to after dinner so I'll come and find you next week."

"Alright." Xia Jingyang narrowed her eyes, a gentle glimmer could be seen in her dark pupils, "If you don't come this time, I will be very disappointed."

Chu Liang nodded and watched Xia Jingyang return to his seat. He raised his hand and called for the waiter.

"I think that doctor is interested in you." Yang Duoduo came over mysteriously, "You look at me differently."

"Is there?" Chu Liang didn't even blink as he stared at the menu, "You know that I've always been a solo mother."

Yang Duoduo pouted, "It's mainly because of your profession. Once you say it, even ten normal men would be scared away nine times."

Chu Liang raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word. Fu Jinchen, who was at the side, stroked his chin as a sharp light flashed in his eyes. His heart began to palpitate.

After Chu Liang ordered a few simple dishes, he returned the menu to the waiter. Not long after, several dishes were served. Fu Jinchen picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites. The smile on the corner of his mouth revealed his good mood.

After a while, Xia Jingyang walked over again, "We'll leave after we finish eating. See you next time."

Chu Liang waved his hand and watched as the group of people left. Then, he actually let out a sigh of relief. Then, Chu Liang was startled. When did she become nervous because of a man?

Thinking that Doctor Xia might be someone special, Chu Liang raised his head and looked in the direction of the restaurant's entrance. Fu Jinchen knocked on his head with a pair of chopsticks.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chu Liang frowned and glanced at Fu Jinchen. "It's nothing." After that, she took her chopsticks and began to eat, while after eating, Yang Duoduo already ran to the front of the counter, ready to pay the bill.

But soon, Yang Duoduo came back with an expression of worry. She then stared at Chu Liang.

"What's wrong?" Chu Liang could feel Yang Duoduo's burning gaze even without raising his head as he casually asked.

Yang Duoduo suddenly cleared her throat, "Now you can be sure, Doctor Xia definitely has an interest in you."

"What do you mean?" Chu Liang raised his eyes to look at Yang Duoduo, she had a serious expression on her face as she pointed at the counter, "I just went to settle the bill, but the cashier told me that our table has already been cleared."

Chu Liang stopped what he was doing and asked calmly: "What does that mean? "I don't understand."

"Of course it means …" Just as Yang Duoduo was about to speak out of excitement, Fu Jinchen looked at Yang Duoduo with a hand on his chin. The corners of his mouth curled up as he asked, "Duoduo, did you just say that Chu Liang is a mother?"

Being affectionately addressed by Fu Jinchen, Yang Duoduo was unable to distinguish between north, south, east and west. After calming her restless heart with great difficulty, she bashfully replied, "Actually, there are a lot of suitors. But because …"

At this point, Yang Duoduo paused and looked at Chu Liang with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "Because of some reasons, you can't fall in love."

Chu Liang put down his chopsticks and said lightly, "I'm full."

Yang Duoduo immediately stood up and cautiously glanced at Chu Liang, "Cool down, where are we going?"

"I'll take you home first." Chu Liang's voice didn't waver, his expression didn't change in the slightest. He picked up his jacket and put it on before walking out the door.

Yang Duoduo hastily followed Chu Liang out, while Fu Jinchen stared at their figures, deep in thought.

For a number of reasons not to fall in love, and until now has been single.

Fu Jinchen raised his brows. It sounded pretty good, but his mood immediately improved by quite a bit.

Chu Liang silently escorted Yang Duoduo home, then rode with Fu Jinchen to their apartment building.

Fu Jinchen sat in the first passenger seat, occasionally glancing at Chu Liang. After several times of hesitation, he directly said, "If you have any questions, just ask them."

"Why aren't you in love?" Fu Jinchen finally asked the question that had been plaguing his mind. At the same time, he was also waiting for an answer that would make his heart palpitate.

Chu Liang tilted his head and glanced at Fu Jinchen. "No comment."

Fu Jinchen furrowed his brows in displeasure. Chu Liang however, turned his head and looked straight ahead. Even though he was driving, he couldn't help but recall the events of his youth.

She also wanted to be like ordinary girls, wearing beautiful clothes, eating a lot of delicious food, living a normal high school life, making friends of all kinds.

But because the person who adopted her was the Jane family, Chu Liang had always been living like a boy.

And the reason she couldn't fall in love was because of the short sentence.
