Chapter 901
Manchu Han Imperial Feast
Chen Pingping subtly observed the changes in Bai Susu's facial expression. Women understand women best, and in such a situation, it could only mean that the girl in front of her had unusual feelings for Xu Bo'an.
Xu Bo'an noticed that Bai Susu and Chen Pingping looked at each other with a serious expression. Although Xu Bo'an had keen senses and could easily discern other things, he couldn't understand why these two women, who didn't know each other, looked at each other with such serious expressions on their first meeting.
Xu Bo'an scratched his head in confusion. Chen Pingping, seeing Xu Bo'an's action, mistakenly thought that Xu Bo'an was embarrassed, so she took the initiative to extend her hand to Bai Susu and introduced herself, saying, "Hello, I am Xu Bo'an's clothing partner. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Upon hearing Chen Pingping's words, Bai Susu politely replied, "Oh, I am Xu Bo'an's apprentice. I've come to learn medicine from him. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Then he reached out and shook hands with Chen Pingping.
After exchanging greetings, Chen Pingping said goodbye to Xu Bo'an and left.
Chen Pingping was dressed particularly fashionably and elegantly today. Bai Susu watched Chen Pingping's departing figure and felt inexplicably unhappy. Her mind wandered as she walked into Xu Bo'an's villa. She wanted to be angry with Xu Bo'an and question him about who Chen Pingping really was.
But after thinking it over, I realized I had absolutely no reason to question Xu Bo'an like that! I was just Xu Bo'an's apprentice, and I came here only to learn medicine from him.
I'm not someone's girlfriend, so I have absolutely no right or reason to ask about their private life!
Thinking of this, Bai Susu unconsciously shook her head, trying to shake off all the random thoughts in her mind.
Seeing Bai Susu shaking her head in frustration, Xu Bo'an, as her master, asked her with concern, "Susu, are you alright?"
Bai Susu pretended to be very casual and said to Xu Bo'an, "It's nothing. I just got off work today and came over. I want to continue learning medical skills from you!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Okay, I happen to have nothing to do today!"
After they finished speaking, the two headed towards the room where they were to study medicine. They spent the entire afternoon in the study, immersed in the world of medicine. However, although Bai Susu seemed to be listening attentively to Xu Bo'an's explanations of medical knowledge, she was actually daydreaming most of the time, her mind wandering. When Xu Bo'an finished explaining the medical theory, he asked Bai Susu to practice, but she made mistakes frequently, so Xu Bo'an had to remind her several times!
Around 6 p.m., Xu Bo'an noticed that Bai Susu seemed distracted and not in a good mood, so he said to her, "Susu, I don't see that your attitude towards studying is as serious as it was the previous two days. Let's stop here for today!"
Bai Susu was indeed distracted during her studies today, as she kept drifting off into random thoughts throughout the entire process, with Chen Pingping's image frequently popping into her mind.
After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Bai Susu said, "Oh, oh, okay, let's call it a day then!"
Xu Bo'an said to Bai Susu, "It's getting late today, and it's not safe for a girl to go home alone. How about we go out for a meal together, and I'll take you home afterwards!"
Bai Susu nodded to Xu Bo'an and said, "Okay!" Just as Bai Susu finished speaking, Xu Bo'an's phone rang. He took out his phone and saw it was Zhao Yuntao calling, so he answered the phone. Then he heard Zhao Yuntao on the other end of the line say with a grin, "Mr. Xu, what are you busy with? I specially invited a top-notch chef to my house today to cook a huge feast. Why don't you come over for dinner with Dr. Bai?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yuntao's words, Xu Bo'an said, "You're quite the informant, kid! How did you know that Dr. Bai happened to be at my house today?"
Actually, when Chen Pingping and Bai Susu met at Xu Bo'an's doorstep, Zhao Yuntao, who was on his way home, happened to witness it. He even saw Bai Susu enter Xu Bo'an's room after Chen Pingping left. Because Zhao Yuntao knew that Bai Susu was studying medicine with Xu Bo'an and usually didn't go home until very late, he was certain that Bai Susu was with Xu Bo'an at that moment, which is why he invited her to have dinner together.
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's question, Zhao Yuntao chuckled and said, "Hehe, that means I have the ability to predict the future!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Get lost! You think you're so capable! If you really had the ability to predict the future, that would be incredible!"
Zhao Yuntao laughed and said, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I was just guessing. I didn't expect Dr. Bai to actually be at your house. The food is ready, so you can all come and eat together!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Okay, I'll be there in a bit!"
After hanging up the phone with Zhao Yuntao and with Bai Susu's consent, Xu Bo'an walked with Bai Susu towards Zhao Yuntao's house. When they arrived, they saw a large table of dishes already laid out on the dining table, including abalone and sea cucumber, which was practically a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Xu Bo'an looked at Zhao Yuntao and said, "Hey, what's the occasion? Did you strike it rich or something that makes you so extravagant!"
Zhao Yuntao looked at Xu Bo'an with a grin and said, "I haven't made a fortune yet. After finishing get off work and getting home, I suddenly remembered that today is my birthday, so I started making arrangements!"
Xu Bo'an said, "You've really got a sense of ceremony for your birthday, kid. You've made it so lavish for yourself. I almost forgot what day my birthday is!"
Zhao Yuntao said, "I only suddenly remembered this after I finished get off work. You know, no one cares about me as a single dog, so I have to care about myself, right? Otherwise, life would be too miserable, wouldn't it?"
Xu Bo'an said, "Then why don't you hurry up and find one?"
Zhao Yuntao joked, "You make it sound so easy. Finding a wife these days is so difficult. I don't have your good fortune, with a bunch of beautiful women chasing after you, and you can just pick one out of them!"
Xu Bo'an said to Zhao Yuntao, "You're talking nonsense! Which eye saw any beautiful woman chasing after me? The reason you haven't found a suitable girlfriend yet is because your standards are too high! If you lower your standards a little, you wouldn't be able to find anyone!"
Zhao Yuntao grinned at Xu Bo'an and said, "If I'm going to find a girlfriend, I have to find someone I truly love. I won't force it. Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Although I didn't have a girlfriend with me on my birthday, I'm still very happy to have you guys with me!" (End of Chapter)
