After three years of being married into the family, his identity as a miracle doctor can no longer b

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately regretted it.

Oh no, I was careless!

In a moment of impulse, I blurted out that she loves Xiabu hotpot.

These were preferences that the two of them had figured out after countless dates in their past life, and Gu Jia would never have mentioned them to him now.

This directly exposed their weakness.

Gu Jia still had her clear eyes open, staring straight at him, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Lin Yuan's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a story. He remained calm and composed, chuckling lightly as he smoothed things over.

"Hey, that's easy, I guessed it."

"We ate Hunan cuisine together a few days ago. You seemed to enjoy the spicy food quite a bit, so I guess you probably also like hot pot."

After hearing this, Gu Jia frowned slightly, still somewhat skeptical.

She does love spicy food, that's true, and she loves Hunan cuisine, but that doesn't mean she just happens to prefer Xiabu Xiabu.

But this person immediately pinpointed the shop she frequented most.

Although she still had some doubts, she didn't think much of it and just assumed it was a coincidence.

Gu Jia pursed her lips and chuckled softly.

"Oh, I see. I thought you were specifically asking about my preferences."

Lin Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.

"This shop happens to be not far from here, just a few minutes' walk away. Shall we go there now?"

"Okay." Gu Jia nodded readily.

Throughout the journey, Gu Jia would occasionally turn her head to steal glances at Lin Yuan beside her.

That little bit of doubt in my heart never completely disappeared.

This person seems to understand her in every way, whether it's the regrets hidden in her heart or the food she loves to eat, he can always pinpoint the exact answer.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, they were inexplicably familiar with each other.

As soon as we sat down at the hot pot restaurant, a steaming pot of broth was served.

A misty white fog spread out, and Gu Jia lowered her head to cook the fatty beef, muttering to herself softly.

"Honestly, in all my years, apart from that old friend, no one has ever been able to guess exactly how much I love this hot pot restaurant."

These words lightly reached Lin Yuan's ears, and his hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly.

A wave of bittersweetness instantly welled up in my heart.

The friend she mentioned was herself in her past life.

After many twists and turns, he now stands before her in a different identity, and even a casual remark about his preferences requires him to find an excuse to conceal it.

Even though we're so close, we can't be honest with each other.

Gu Jia was unaware of his change in mood and continued talking to herself.

"I used to always drag him here to eat. I never thought that after so long apart, someone would still guess my taste."

Lin Yuan suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and forced a gentle smile.

"It's just a coincidence. Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

A hot pot meal is both satisfying and relaxing.

The two chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, it was past eight o'clock in the evening.

After finishing our meal, we walked side by side along the sidewalk toward our parking spot.

A gentle evening breeze caressed my face, the night was soft, and the atmosphere was exceptionally pleasant.

As he walked, Lin Yuan casually glanced at the building signs around him.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his heart tightened instantly!

His pupils contracted slightly, and his face was filled with astonishment.

Something is wrong!

He was incredibly familiar with the location here!

This is further combined with the surrounding business district and office buildings.

Lin Yuan reacted instantly.

This area is only a few hundred meters away from Lin Wanrou's company headquarters!

They're just two streets apart!

It's only a few hundred meters away, just a short walk away!

At that moment, Lin Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

My heart skipped a beat.

Oops!

What a coincidence!

He never expected that Gu Jia would choose such a location for her studio and the business district where they ate together.

It happened right under Lin Wanrou's company's nose!

What a coincidence!

In an instant, countless concerns flooded my mind.

In case he comes here often to see Gu Jia and handle studio matters.

What if we happen to run into Lin Wanrou after get off work or while she's working overtime?

What if they are caught having a meal or spending time alone together?

That was a total social disaster!

It could even lead to misunderstandings!

Lin Yuan felt a surge of panic.

But he quickly forced himself to calm down.

Upon closer reflection, I realized...

I shouldn't be that unlucky.

He works at the hospital during the day and never comes here.

I only come here once in the evenings when I have free time.

Lin Wanrou has a regular schedule and usually goes home on time after get off work.

The two people's timelines will most likely be perfectly aligned.

As long as he is careful and keeps a low profile.

There's probably no chance of us meeting.

Suppressing his anxiety and unease, Lin Yuan stopped thinking about it.

The most important thing right now is to settle Gu Jia's affairs.

The two quickly returned to Gu Jia's residence.

As is customary, Lin Yuan took out the silver needles he always carried with him.

The technique is skillful, gentle, and efficient.

They quickly performed a calming acupuncture treatment on Gu Jia.

After a few needles were inserted, Gu Jia's tense nerves instantly relaxed.

The fatigue and anxiety of the past few days vanished.

She'll definitely get a good night's sleep tonight.

After the acupuncture session ended, Lin Yuan carefully put away the silver needles and gave some earnest instructions.

"The studio space has been secured."

"Don't rush, take your time."

"You can take your time to screen candidates and start by hiring two entry-level employees."

"Just set up the basic framework of the studio."

"I will guide you step by step through the subsequent operations, technology, and projects."

At this point, Lin Yuan's tone became exceptionally gentle, yet brimming with confidence.

"besides."

"Working capital will definitely be needed in the early stages of operation."

"Don't feel pressured. Just let me know if you need money."

"Any amount is fine, I can replenish it for you anytime."

Gu Jia looked up at the gentle and reliable man in front of her.

A warm feeling welled up inside me.

I am increasingly grateful that I met Lin Yuan.

With him around, it seems like no problem is a problem anymore.

All confusion now has direction.
