Being too enthusiastic has consequences that would be.........contrary to what one intended.
Perhaps because they were in the hospital, Fu Yanzhi did not heed her words.
He just glanced at her coldly, took her hand away, and turned around to go out.
Ji Qingying was slightly stunned, as she was left staring at the curtain that had been laid down once again.
Subconsciously, she clenched the palm of her hand, the warmth from his arm's touch was still there.

She looked sluggish for a few seconds and then suddenly regretted what she said.
It wasn't right.
She shouldn't be here in the first place
Fu Yanzhi was very strict about his work and it was not something she wasn't aware of.
Yet, she still made such a joke while he was working.
She buried her head in the quilt, like a deflated balloon, with unspeakable remorse.
Even though Fu Yanzhi was not very busy in the afternoon, there were still many people that needed their medical examinations to be done.
He didn't have to run like the wind though, meaning he still had a few minutes of idle time to himself.
When he returned to the office after checking on another patient, there was no one inside.
He was taken aback for a moment, then took out his mobile phone from the drawer and looked at it. There was a message from Ji Qingying on it that had been sent half an hour ago.
Ji Qingying: [I suddenly remembered that I had to do something else, so I won't let you accompany me for dinner today. And about what happened just now... I'm sorry.]
Fu Yanzhi stared at the message and read it twice, only then did he realize what she was talking about.
His finger slightly paused, as the intentions to reply to the message barely rose, but suddenly he heard the nurse shouting from outside the door.
"Dr. Fu, we have a patient in the emergency room!"
Fu Yanzhi put his phone down and said without a moment's hesitation, "Ok."
He was like a gust of wind, and in the event of an unexpected urgency, he arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.
Making every second count was immensely important.
After coming out of the hospital, Ji Qingying wandered around aimlessly.
Walking on the road, the eyes of the people passing by fell on her, but she didn't notice it.
Ji Qingying never thought of using such methods to attract Fu Yanzhi's attention.
She simply felt that she had done something wrong. She was both apologetic and ashamed to have him eat with her after doing that.
At least at the moment, that was what she felt.
Fu Yanzhi should have been busy with his work.
The reason he made a promise with her initially was that it was in exchange for the gifts.
Both of them had considered it as a deal.
For Ji Qingying, everything right now felt like she was heading into a blind alley as she thought more about this relationship of theirs with everything being a result of cause-and-effect.
She kept ruminating more and more, and her mood got worse.
When Chen Xinyu ran down from her company building's stairs, she saw Ji Qingying sitting by the fountain pool.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, covering her whole body with a gentle tone.
The only part that looked a bit off was that she looked listless and looked rather dispirited.
Chen Xinyu raised her eyebrows in wonder and approached her slowly.
She stretched out her hand and poked her friend's shoulder, "What's wrong, frustrated?"
After hearing her voice, Ji Qingying looked up.
She was silent for a moment and before nodding, "I made a mistake again."
Hearing her tone, Chen Xinyu immediately became nervous, "How did you make a mistake? Tell me clearly."
"I'll give you the short version."
Ji Qingying gave a brief summary of what she said when she teased Fu Yanzhi at the hospital.
When she was done explaining everything, Chen Xinyu stared at her with an expression that expressed her intrigue.
"Why are you staring at me with that look?"
"Nothing."
Chen Xinyu was a bit confused, "In the end, what's exactly wrong with what you said?"
She thought for a moment, "Do you think Fu Yanzhi got angry? Or that he has a bad impression of you?"
Ji Qingying thought for a moment and said, "All of them."
"The main thing is that it was likely rude and impetuous," she said
She was a person who reflected on her actions a lot. She was the type who would examine herself if she has done something wrong and likewise follow her heart.
Chen Xinyu was speechless.
She knew that Ji Qingying always had such a character, but she did not agree with her current words or thoughts.
She sat down beside her and said faintly, "I think you're thinking too much. Although Dr. Fu usually behaves indifferently, he is not one who will be angry about such trivial things."
As soon as her words ended, Ji Qingying suddenly quipped, "So I'm just a minor thing to him."
Chen Xinyu: "......"
She was speechless for a while again, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Can you let me finish?"
Ji Qingying chuckled, "Go on."
She looked like she was dictating a practiced script, "I'm all ears."
