SET IN STONE• (part-1)

Chapter:31

"Everyone has their own ideas. You could say that these might be the right ones for you, but they don't match my standards. Anyways, the head nurse meant well to introduce us, so I'm very grateful towards her, and I can tell that you are an accomplished individual. However, we're not compatible. Thanks for the drink, but I should go now," Lisa stood up apologetically; she no longer wanted to continue talking to this person.

Mingyu felt a bit uncomfortable when he saw Lisa's reaction. Did this set-up just fail?

Was he just rejected by a random little nurse?

"Wait."

Lisa stopped in her tracks…

"I want to know, what didn't you like about me?"

Mingyu had gone on these dates many times, and many of the girls took the initiative to contact him because he was educated overseas, his parents were senior officials, and his family background was impressive. He also drove an Audi Q5 and his annual salary was over a million won. He was perfect - a homeowner and a car owner. He didn't understand why a little intern nurse like Lisa from a poor family could be so pretentious.

"Nothing, it's not you," Lisa honestly replied.

"Then why are you leaving in such a hurry? You said that we're not compatible. Isn't that the same thing as a rejection?" Mingyu asked in a slightly upset tone.

"Rejected? Not exactly. I just think that our academic and family backgrounds are far too different. We're not compatible at all, so there's no need for us to go on anymore."

"But I don't mind."

"But I mind." Lisa smiled.

As she smiled, her eyes became small and her cheeks looked fluffy and red; they were really pretty.

Mingyu had to admit that, before he came to the date, he didn't really like this intern nurse too much, although she was a rare beauty but something was off for him. Maybe because she looked too soft and weak, those type of women were really not his type.

He only came because of his cousin, but, after their conversation, he realized that this little nurse was different from the other girls. She was not only beautiful but quick witted and smart. He felt drawn towards her immediately.

"I don't even mind, so why would you mind?" Mingyu demanded.

"Because I know my own limitations." Lisa continued to laugh.

"That's a good thing, but you should learn to pick your moments. I've already stated things quite clearly. I don't mind that you don't know anything. If it's my job that's making you scared that we won't have anything in common, then I can't blame you, since forensics is indeed unique and is very difficult to learn. It's hard for regular people to communicate with me."

"That's not the issue, I'm not worried about that." Lisa was an honest girl. She didn't think too much when she said this.

However, the other party paid attention to every word she said. Mingyu was already quite upset. Once he heard Lisa, he laughed mockingly, "Ha, what do you mean 'that's not the issue'? From the sound of it, you're quite knowledgeable, so don't blame me later on for not warning you. Forensics is a very difficult and knowledge-extensive subject. It's not a random trick that little nurses like you learn in medical school, do you understand? Don't be so pretentious. It's true that you know your own limitations, but don't you think that you're only pretending to know what you don't?"

"I'm not, I'm only speaking the truth," Lisa calmly explained.

"Huh? What truth? You're a nurse who graduated from a third-rate medical school, so what truth do you know? I'm very curious." Mingyu's tone had hints of disdain since he had always been quite proud of his professional knowledge.
