Top-tier celebrity's nightly pampering, the abstinent doctor loses control and spoils her.

Seeing Liao Xubai's provocative smile, Lu Er turned to look at Song Jingmo in disbelief.

Song Jingmo actually chased him away, something that had never happened before.

Did the other person think he was in the way and was disturbing their sweet time together in private?

Lu Er was so angry she felt like her head was about to explode. She lifted her long leg and was about to slam the door shut and leave.

But then he thought, why should he listen to Song Jingmo?

He just leaves when Song Jingmo tells him to? Doesn't he have any pride?

Moreover, Wang Ma instructed that Song Jingmo must finish his meal.

He won't leave until this task is completed.

Lu Er stopped in her tracks and watched as Liao Xubai skillfully opened the lunchbox and eagerly handed the chopsticks to Song Jingmo.

An unnamed anger surged to his head, and he rushed forward to snatch the lunchbox Liao Xubai had brought, his tone harsh:

"Wang Ma specially brewed a nourishing soup. Food from outside isn't clean; who knows if they've used gutter oil?"

Liao Xubai was slightly taken aback, then frowned: "I specially ordered this from a Michelin-starred restaurant, so there are absolutely no hygiene issues."

"So what if it's Michelin? Who knows if the kitchen is clean?"

Lu Er refused to back down, placing the food Liao Xubai had brought heavily on the coffee table in the distance. "This is our family matter. You, an outsider, shouldn't meddle."

"Outsider?" Liao Xubai laughed in exasperation. "I was classmates with Jingmo University, graduate students, and doctoral students for many years, and during the six years I worked abroad, we were always the best partners."

"In these six years, we've performed thousands of surgeries together. On the battlefield, we'd be comrades-in-arms, risking our lives together. What kind of family are you then?"

Yes.

What kind of family member is he?

It was only because he was too unruly that Ms. Leng was afraid he would grow up to be even more depraved, so she shamelessly begged the two top students from the Qu family to guide him onto the right path.

The Qu family and the Lu family have some business dealings, and the two families also have a good relationship and are neighbors. In particular, Song Jingmo and Qu Weiwei have always been the model children, skipping grades and being admitted to universities without taking the entrance exam.

Even with Song Jingmo's help, he got into A University, but he was always at the bottom of the class.

To Song Jingmo, he was like a flea on a magnificent robe.

Lu Er's face darkened instantly when her sore spot was touched: "What's between him and me is none of your business to judge. But you, you always do things that make people have all sorts of wild guesses, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about behind your back?"

Liao Xubai spoke calmly, with a hint of sarcasm: "Compared to you, a big star who's constantly creating on-screen couples with male actors and having scandals with female actors, I'm practically a breath of fresh air."

"You!" Lu Er clenched her fists in anger. "I..."

He wanted to argue, but found he had no way to argue.

Media outlets using sensationalist shots to gain clicks, making baseless speculations, and co-stars intentionally or unintentionally releasing suggestive content to ride the wave of attention…

As public figures, especially entertainment stars, these are sacrifices that must be made.

He can't enjoy the benefits of fans and online traffic while simultaneously forbidding any outside prying or speculation.

Liao Xubai raised an eyebrow: "Is the big star speechless?"

Lu Er stared intently at the smug man: "You're no better; you have ulterior motives towards Song Jingmo!"

"Hidden motives?" Liao Xubai sneered. "That's quite a accusation. Is it wrong for me to care about my partner?"

"As for you, you were entangled with a young heartthrob a while ago, which made headlines, and now you're flirting with a popular actress. And now you're here acting all lovey-dovey. Don't you find it hypocritical?"

"Who I'm entangled with is none of your business!" Lu Er almost yelled. "I just love to act all lovey-dovey, is that any of your business? Whether I'm being hypocritical or not is none of your concern."

The tension in the ward grew stronger as the two men faced off, neither willing to back down.

Song Jingmo was getting a headache from the noise and was extremely irritated.

Liao Xubai took a deep breath, then suddenly turned to Song Jingmo, his gaze firm: "Since we've come this far, I won't hold back anymore."

Then she turned to look directly at Lu Er and said, word by word, "I like Jing Mo. I've liked him since we were in school. I hope you understand that if you can't give him what he wants, don't always try to take him away. Learn to be considerate of others."

This blunt confession stunned Lu Er, who instinctively retorted, "Song Jingmo has someone he likes. As long as I'm here, you gay bastard, you can forget about ruining him!"

As soon as he said it, Liao Xubai's smile became particularly sarcastic.

Lu Er turned to look at Song Jingmo, who remained silent, but his eyes held a complex expression.

"Big star, have you been in the entertainment industry for nothing? Civilized society still discriminates against homosexuals, you're a remnant of feudalism."

After finishing his tirade, Liao Xubai chuckled, "You've lived together for so many years, and you don't even know what gender he prefers?"

Lu Er was struck dumb, staring blankly at Song Jingmo, her voice trembling: "Is what he said true? You...you like men?"

Song Jingmo raised his eyes and looked at Lu Er quietly, neither admitting nor denying it.

But silence itself is the answer.

Countless images flashed through Lu Er's mind: when they were in school, Song Jingmo always rejected girls' confessions, ignored the school beauty's advances, and was extremely indifferent to his suitors.

It turns out that everything has a traceable origin.

"So, you really like him?" Lu Er's voice was almost inaudible as she pointed at Liao Xubai, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Why would you like him of all people?"

Song Jingmo finally spoke, his voice eerily calm: "This is my private matter, and it has nothing to do with you."

These words were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Lu Er's heart.

He belatedly realized that Song Jingmo hadn't spoken up for him earlier not because he was angry, but because Song Jingmo had sided with Liao Xubai.

Lu Er staggered back two steps, her eyes scanning back and forth between Song Jingmo and Liao Xubai, finally settling on Song Jingmo's face: "I understand, I'm sorry."

In the corridor, Lu Er leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

My mind is a mess: Song Jingmo is gay and he also likes his nemesis Liao Xubai.

Lu Er felt like the sky had fallen.

What he found even more unacceptable than Song Jingmo being gay was that Song Jingmo liked Liao Xubai.

An inexplicable sense of irritability and resentment welled up inside me.

He didn't understand what was so good about Liao Xubai.

They put on airs, act hypocritically, and always put on airs like they're geniuses.

No, we absolutely cannot let them be together.

Lu Er gritted his teeth, a strong urge to destroy growing in his heart.

Although he didn't know why he did it, just thinking about the scene of Song Jingmo and Liao Xubai together made him feel choked up.

Lu Er blamed everything on Liao Xubai, saying that he was too hateful and always bullied her.
