So You're Such A Doctor Song

Chapter 389 He Took Me To Box On Our First Date—Who Could Take It? Crazy.

“Me?” Li Shaobin smiled nonchalantly, “What could happen to me? Dealing with those kinds of things is a piece of cake. I taught that bunch of douchebags a lesson on your behalf. I look down on men like that the most.”

Ruan Yang’s expression was serious for a few seconds. She let him in and said, “Aren’t you afraid that someone would post it on the internet?”

“So be it. There’s nothing on earth that I, Li Shaobin, am afraid of.” He swaggered in after changing his shoes, looking indifferent. “You don’t have to take it to heart. People like that are just twisted.”

“There are quite a lot of twisted people out there now,” Ruan Yang said, obviously unwilling to talk about it. “Your clothes are dirty.”

“From the fight.” Li Shaobin patted himself but he couldn’t pat the dirt off. “Forget it. I’ll change when I get back in the afternoon. I just... came to take a look at you. In case you were impacted by it.”

Ruan Yang was stunned. She watched as he stuttered and his eyes darted around. She could sort of tell why he came over. This man might seem offhand and had a very low EQ but he actually knew how to care about people. “It’s almost noon. Do you want to stay for lunch?”

“Sure.” Li Shaobin happened to be hungry. He poked around the kitchen to take a look at what dishes Auntie Li had made and said with a frown, “Why’s this all plain? There’s nothing I like.”

Auntie Li said with a smile, “Miss Ruan likes to eat plain and simple food.”

Ruan Yang walked to the door and happened to overhear their conversation. She said helplessly, “I can’t do anything about it if you don’t like these dishes. I only have this at home. Why don’t I treat you to a meal next time?”

Li Shaobin said with dissatisfaction, “Are you trying to tell me not to eat for lunch today?”

“Didn’t you say there’s nothing you like to eat?” Ruan Yang seemed apologetic. “Why don’t you just make do with it?”

Li Shaobin frowned unhappily. Just then, his phone rang. He smiled happily and picked up the call. “Xiru... Lunch?... Sure... sure. Then wait a while for me. I’ll come over to pick you up.”

He hung up and turned his head back to tell Ruan Yang with disdain, “I’m not eating at your place. I’m going to have good food with my girlfriend.”

“Girlfriend?” Ruan Yang’s lips curled up. “Don’t think she is yet. I didn’t see you two holding hands yesterday.”

Li Shaobin blushed awkwardly. “Not now but she will be very soon. I plan to make her my girlfriend officially tomorrow night.”

“Oh, I see. Congratulations then.” Ruan Yang paused and suddenly said, “But you mix around in the underworld and she’s a police woman. Wouldn’t it be very weird for the two of you to get together?”

“What’s weird? I don’t kill or do anything bad like drug trafficking or money laundering. All my businesses are considered legitimate.” Li Shaobin pondered it for a while before he turned to leave.

—————-

The next afternoon, Changqing asked Ruan Yang out to watch a movie. Changqing, who hadn’t gone out for a month, chattered along the way excitedly.

When they came out of the movie theater, it was already 5:30 pm. Changqing suggested they eat dinner outside before going home, so she took Ruan Yang to a clubhouse for dinner. Clubhouses were the number one choice for public figures to eat out because firstly, the food was good and secondly, they had very good privacy.

Changqing took her to a clubhouse with a European garden. It was serene and private. This place was restricted to only high-class VIP members and the reason Changqing could enter was because before she had Yan Wo, she often came with Song Chuyi and Li Shaobin for meals. The food was so good that she had been thinking of this place for months.

When they entered, the two went straight to a suite on the third floor for dinner. There was a floor-to-ceiling bay window and the scenery outside was an endless stretch of sea.

After Changqing finished ordering, she said to Ruan Yang excitedly, “The matsutake pigeon soup here is fantastic. You’ll definitely love it.”

“You’re really a glutton.” Ruan Yang smiled as she shook her head. However, she wasn’t against drinking soup.

“You don’t know how it feels to be confined indoors every day.” Changqing sighed. “I saw the news this morning; I didn’t think you could get into the headlines so easily even after you left the entertainment industry.”

“Really? I didn’t pay any attention,” Ruan Yang said. Perhaps it was because she was afraid to see any embarrassing words or phrases, but she had already stopped browsing entertainment sites.

“It was nothing big actually. Just something about you going to the hospital and all that.” Changqing reached over to pour her some tea. Ruan Yang quickly took the teapot. “Let me do it. Don’t move.”

The matsutake pigeon soup was served and it was indeed as delicious as Changqing made it out to be, as were the other dishes. Ruan Yang was full of praise for the food. “I feel like I’ve never had such delicious food before.”

“No way,” Changqing said with a smile. “Although the food here is good, we often go out for various delicacies and often get sick of them.”

“I don’t remember. It seems like I haven’t had them before but that’s good too. I can experience the delicacies I’ve had before all over again. Isn’t that pretty great too?” Ruan Yang smiled.

“Aye, look who’s here?” Changqing suddenly pointed downstairs from the floor-to-ceiling window.

Ruan Yang glanced over casually and saw Li Shaobin and Luo Xiru stepping out from a silver sports car. Li Shaobin seemed to be in a good mood as he played with the car keys in his hand.

“Didn’t think we would run into Brother Shaobin,” Changqing said with a grin. “Why don’t we go over and say hi?”

“Let’s not,” Ruan Yang said. “I think he said he was going to confess to her officially today and ask her to go out with him.”

“I see.” Changqing’s eyes lit up. “I really want to go over and take a look.”

“What’s there to look at?” Ruan Yang shook her head with a smile. “Eat, eat.”

The door to the suite opened as the service staff wheeled in a trolley with their third dish. Just then, they saw a service staff in the hallway outside, walking past with a bouquet of red roses.

Changqing asked nosily, “Is someone going to confess?”

The service staff only nodded and smiled secretly without revealing who. They weren’t allowed to disclose anything related to their customers’ privacy here. After all, the people who came here weren’t ordinary people.

When the service staff left, Changqing grinned. “It must be Brother Shaobin. I didn’t think that he would know how to give women flowers. However, red roses are so cliche.”

“... That does seem to be the case,” Ruan Yang agreed casually.

Because the soup was really too good, Ruan Yang had three bowls of it, causing her to have to use the washroom twice. When she came out of the toilet for the second time, she accidentally knocked into a drunk, burly man in the hallway. The bodhi bead bracelet on her wrist snapped and fell to the floor because of that.

She bent down to pick it up but could only find the chain and not the bodhi bead. She looked around and didn’t know where it went. She felt an inexplicable feeling of emptiness but she couldn’t really tell why she would feel like that. She only remembered that she was already wearing it at the hospital when she regained consciousness. She had no idea why she was wearing a bodhi bead on her wrist but when she searched online and found out that it cost a few thousand, she continued wearing it.

After searching for a long time, she guessed that the bodhi bead might’ve rolled into the suite at the side. The door of the suite was left open and there were no lights on. There was no one there. She switched the lights on and walked in. She looked around the floor and just when she lifted the tablecloth, someone suddenly walked in and closed the door. Immediately, a woman’s voice came over from the door softly. “How long must I stay by his side exactly? Team leader, I really can’t take it anymore, having to act as though I like him a lot every day.”

Ruan Yang felt awkward. She seemed to have chanced upon someone’s private conversation. She wanted to get up but she hesitated. Just then, the woman said, “... Endure. His rich and overbearing demeanor is really annoying and he’s so cocky and narcissistic. You tell me. He took me boxing on the first date—who could take it? Crazy. Besides, he has such tacky tastes and loves to wear red sweaters. That’s so corny and he loves to pick me up at the station. Everyone at the station is already talking about how I got myself a rich man...”

Red sweater...

Ruan Yang was stunned. She suddenly recalled that during dinner with Changqing, she seemed to have seen Li Shaobin in red. Besides, this person was saying something about a police station. Could this be...

Suddenly, the woman walked over to her side. She crept under the table silently and heard the woman say: “... Up till now, he hasn’t taken me to where he lives or to Li Hall. I haven’t had a chance to look... alright... if I get a promotion this time after getting evidence, I will endure it... please stop saying such useless things. I don’t think someone like him would ever find a woman who likes him.”

The woman hung up and left.

Just as Ruan Yang was crawling out from under the table, she saw a bodhi bead lying by the table cloth. She picked it up and spaced out for a while before returning to her suite.

Changqing was bloated from eating all the food. “If you came back any later, I would’ve finished everything here.”

“I lost my way a little just now,” Ruan Yang said as she picked her chopsticks up.

“You got lost?” Changqing was shocked. She smiled. “You have a super good sense of direction.”

Ruan Yang smiled and said suddenly, “I wonder if the girl accepted Li Shaobin’s confession.”

“I think she would.” Changqing picked out the meat from the vegetables and said, “Although the way Brother Shaobin dresses is quite tacky and he doesn’t always give people a good first impression, the longer you hang out with him, the more you will realize that he’s actually a very nice person. Besides, he should be a very rare virgin man.”

“Are you serious?” Ruan Yang stared wide-eyed at her.

“I think so. That’s just my guess.” Changqing broke into a smile. “Although he’s always said he’s a man who’s walked through flowers, that’s probably just him boasting because of his ego.”

Ruan Yang fell silent again and ate for a while. Suddenly, she stood up. “I think I need the toilet again. You go on first.”
