“Yeah, it’s not well-known.” Ning Ran managed to gloss over.
If Poker Face knew you just called his entertainment company a “small” one, you would be completely done for, you selfish doctor.
He’s young and has the looks, too, so why doesn’t he just focus on becoming the best in his own industry? He’s trying to copy those genius all-rounders and get involved in every single line of work possible, but all he’s doing is making himself look like a dense idiot.
Zou Gang’s chest puffed up at the sound of that. “I was right! I’d never heard of such a company. It makes sense that it’s a small one.”
Ning Ran was completely speechless. Sure. Whatever floats your boat.
I’m too tired to deal with your ramblings right now.
However, Zou Gang kept talking. He chattered on until someone finally called him away to do something else, and finally, he left.
To be fair, it wasn’t like he wasn’t talented. He was rather knowledgeable, but he was too narcissistic and assumed he already knew everything there was to know about the world. He probably thought the whole world revolved around him.
After Zou Gang left, Ning Ran finally got some peace and quiet.
After she was done taking her medicine, Ning Ran wanted to go home. She was truly uncomfortable in this hospital.
However, the two caretakers didn’t allow it. They had received orders to look after Ning Ran and not let her out of their sight.
If Ning Ran left on her own, whether to work or anything else, the two caretakers would not be getting a single cent.
Ning Ran had truly tired herself out during these last few days. All Nan Chen wanted was for her to take a much-needed rest.
While she wasn’t very happy with that decision, Ning Ran didn’t want the caretakers to lose their paychecks just because of her recklessness. She ended up forcing herself to stay in place.
Time passed in a flash and afternoon rolled around once more. However, Dr. Zou had returned again.
This time, he had come prepared with a bouquet of white roses and a specialized lunchbox.
The lunchbox had been prepared based on her nutritional needs.
He had even taken a special route home so he could prepare this lunch especially for her.
The sunny side up had been purposely made into a heart; it was extra glaring. Somehow, he had shaped the yolk into a heart shape, and he had used tomato sauce to write “love” on top of it.
That was extremely detailed of him, but all that design managed to do was make it obvious that this meal was more of a flirting technique than a nutritional afterthought.
“How is it? It’s good, right? I made it especially for you,” Zou Gang said proudly.
“Thanks, Dr. Zou. However, I’ll have someone sending lunch to me later, so you should eat this yourself.”
Ning Ran would naturally never accept such a thing. How was she expected to eat something that had the word “love” written on it with tomato sauce?
“I made this for you. You have to accept it. If not, I’d have wasted my time,” Zou Gang said, clearly unamused.
“Someone will send me lunch later. Thank you for the effort though.” Obviously, Ning Ran still wasn’t going to accept it.
“We’re going to work on a movie together, aren’t we? We should be friends first, right? If you don’t eat the lunch that I specially made for you, that’s way too cruel, don’t you think?”
He was obviously starting to get annoyed and was trying to hold back his emotions.
Ning Ran was still in the hospital, so she wasn’t really in the position to offend a doctor.
After a lot of consideration, Ning Ran finally accepted it.
“Thank you, Dr. Zou. I’m not hungry yet, so just leave it here for now. I’ll eat it later,” Ning Ran said.
Zou Gang finally lightened up. “Okay. You have to eat it, alright? I’m busy, so I’ll be heading off. I’ll come back when I’m free!”
“Okay, sure.”
Ning Ran finally sighed in relief once Zou Gang left.
It was lunchtime after all, and Ning Ran was actually getting hungry.
However, she was not about to eat that lunchbox. She was already disgusted; she wouldn’t be able to choke it down.
I can’t just go without lunch, though. Should I order some takeout?
She was still thinking about how she should settle her lunch when Nan Chen arrived.
Damn it, Zou Gang! You couldn’t have picked a worse time to come in!
Nan Chen looked at the young doctor. all dressed up in his white robe. How dare he call the lunch I brought ‘trashy’?
