CHAPTER 367: CHAPTER 368: KILLING TIME

Li Tingyan, full of melancholy, went to work, while Gu Nianyang tidied up and went to the medical office to help out. Liang Baoguo’s idea was for her to help in the medical office for two hours every day, so she treated it as passing the time.

Meanwhile, in the girl group, Ning Xia had just applied to be transferred here as the lead performer. She had been busy with the annual meeting program the past few days, but today she finally had some free time to find her beloved Prince Charming, Li Tingyan.

Yes, this Ning Xia was none other than the daughter of the president of the Sea Merchant Company in the provincial capital, who was captured by pirates last time when Nianyang and Li Tingyan caught the pirates together.

Ning Xia fell in love with Li Tingyan at first sight and, after recovering her health, asked Chu Zhan where Li Tingyan worked.

But Chu Zhan refused to tell her, no matter what. Hmph, if he won’t tell, he won’t tell—could there really be something she couldn’t find out in this world?

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for her to uncover Li Tingyan’s details, learning that he was the renowned Manager Li. This revelation thrilled her—such an outstanding and handsome man was precisely what she wanted most.

So Ning Xia hurriedly requested her father to transfer her to Pingjing. Who would have thought that upon arrival, she’d discover that Li Tingyan already had a partner?

But fortunately, they weren’t married yet, which meant she still had a chance. She heard that Li Tingyan’s fiancée was just a village girl. Could she really compare to a well-bred lady like herself?

Anyone with a brain would realize choosing her was the most sensible choice. Even disregarding family background, she believed her charm would surely repel that village girl, making Li Tingyan fall at her feet.

Ning Xia was full of self-confidence. After finding out where Li Tingyan was training, she quickly grabbed all sorts of gourmet treats she bought from abroad to go see him.

The medical office wasn’t busy today. After making a round and finding nothing to do, Nianyang decided to leave and head to Li Tingyan’s training base to admire her man’s demeanor.

No sooner had she walked out the door of the medical office than she ran into Lu Chi, who was coming in. Nianyang politely greeted, "Doctor Lu," and sidestepped to the left.

To her surprise, Lu Chi also stepped to the left.

The two locked eyes, and Nianyang stepped to the right, while Lu Chi, eyes fixed on her, mimicked her move to the right.

Does this guy have a problem?

Nianyang frowned at him, "Doctor Lu, do you need something?"

Lu Chi gazed at Nianyang tenderly, "Is your full name Gu Nianyang?"

Nianyang found Lu Chi’s unusual reaction odd. Remembering she promised Li Tingyan not to chat with Lu Chi, she responded coolly with a "hmm."

Then she moved around him to continue on her way, feeling her dislike was evident. If Lu Chi was perceptive, he should leave her alone.

Who’d have expected Lu Chi to persist, following her and calling out, "Nianyang, I have something to tell you."

Nianyang said coldly, "Doctor Lu, we’re not familiar with each other. Please address me as Saozi!"

The place was bustling with people, and she was Li Tingyan’s fiancée. Being addressed so familiarly by a young man would lead to misunderstandings.

Nianyang didn’t want any unpleasant rumors spreading. If Li Tingyan found out, she couldn’t handle his jealousy.

Lu Chi suddenly burst into laughter, "Fine, I won’t call you Nianyang. I’ll call you League, alright?"

Nianyang stiffened in disbelief. She hadn’t misheard, right? Lu Chi had called her League—a name that was her public alias in her previous life and had been discarded the moment she was reborn.

How could Lu Chi know that name?
