Chapter 1000: Chapter 1005: Destined to Lose Part 2 Chapter 1000: Chapter 1005: Destined to Lose Part 2 He sent Huangfu Ye a text message, urging him to investigate what had actually transpired that would push his elder brother to utter such words.

“You go ahead and eat, I’m going to make a phone call.” After saying this, Bai Jingqing turned around and headed into the resting room.

He dialed Bai Qianqian’s number. Bai Qianqian was just getting up to pick up her takeout food. Hearing her phone ring, she put the food on the table and picked up her cell phone.

When she saw Bai Jingqing’s name, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer the call.

“Hello, what’s up?” Bai Qianqian’s tone was somewhat frosty.

After witnessing the scene this morning, she couldn’t bring herself to be warm towards him anymore.

“…”

Bai Jingqing frowned. What was with her? It seemed like her attitude towards him had cooled down again recently.

“What did you have for lunch?” Bai Jingqing originally planned to cook for her, but an emergency patient needed him to perform surgery at the last minute. It was almost one o’clock now.

“Qingxin ordered takeout for me.” Bai Qianqian opened up the containers and placed them on the table.

“…”

“I…”

Bai Jingqing wanted to explain his reason for not returning home, but was interrupted by a knock on the door and Lu Wushuang’s voice. “Brother Jingqing, if you don’t come out soon, the food will get cold.”

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Qianqian immediately hung up the phone.

She put her cell phone aside and turned it off.

She went to the kitchen to get a bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat.

Bai Jingqing looked at the disconnected call, dialed back, but he was told that the cell phone had been turned off.

Was Bai Qianqian angry? Was she mad because she heard Lu Wushuang’s voice?

Bai Jingqing was slightly unsure. He then shook his head. How could it be? He would be thrilled if she was angry.

Her anger signified that she was jealous.

However, it was unlikely that Bai Qianqian would be jealous over him.

Bai Jingqing came out and saw the ample food on the table. He asked, “Is this the takeout you ordered?”

“Yes.” Lu Wushuang nodded.

“You don’t have to go through so much trouble next time. The nurse can get food for me from the cafeteria.”

“The cafeteria food doesn’t exactly suit my taste, so I’ve told your nurse not to buy food for you anymore. Since there’s so much takeout and we can’t finish it anyway, I’ll just eat with you,” said Lu Wushuang.

Bai Jingqing’s brow furrowed. Lu Wushuang was invited by him to the hospital. Both of their mothers were good friends. She didn’t have any acquaintances here yet, so he looked out for her. After all, he personally invited her to work here.

“Dr. Lu, from now on, I’ll still have the nurse bring me food. If you want to order takeout, just enjoy it yourself. If you can’t finish it, order less. After all, this is a hospital. It’s better for the two of us to maintain a distance to avoid unnecessary gossip which could damage your reputation,” Bai Jingqing said with a smile.

“I only know you here. Of course, I would want to be with you. I can’t stop what others want to say,” Lu Wushuang said, shrugging innocently.

“In a new environment, you’ll meet new friends. You have to gradually adapt… This place isn’t as open as overseas. Rumors are never a good thing. I regard you as my sister, and naturally, I don’t want you to be misunderstood.” After finishing his words, Bai Jingqing sat down. Ignoring Lu Wushuang’s expression, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Lu Wushuang felt a bit dejected. Was Bai Jingqing trying to distance himself from her? If he wasn’t interested in her, then why did he insist on having her work at his hospital?

She had assumed that he made this move because he liked her and wanted to date her.
