Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

"What is your surname, sir?"

"No need for formalities, my surname is Chu."

"Mr. Chu, what kind of apartment layout would you like to see? We have a variety of options ranging from three to five bedrooms—Miss Jiang?"

As the sales manager was speaking, he suddenly stared wide-eyed at Jiang Yingxue, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

He immediately bent down a few degrees, "Miss Jiang? You, what brings you here? I didn't know you were here. I'll have our general manager come over right away—"

"No need, I'm just accompanying him to look at apartments."

Jiang Yingxue's tone remained indifferent, but she tightened her grip on Chu Nan's arm slightly.

The sales manager straightened up, glanced at Chu Nan, and then at the two women holding Chu Nan's arm.

He had been in the business world for twenty years and had seen countless big shots traveling with beautiful women, but he had never seen anything like this before.

Long Tao's face was deathly pale, and he lowered his head, the beads of sweat on his forehead glistening under the lights of the hall.

Looking at Long Tao's appearance, Chu Lianlian felt a surge of indescribable emotions.

It's not heartache, it's disappointment.

She chose Longtao not only because he was young and wealthy, but also because of the composure and confidence he displayed in her presence.

This is the absolute confidence that comes from a privileged family background, which is different from that of a genius like Chu Nan.

A genius may have a promising future, but these rich kids are destined for a life of luxury from the moment they are born.

But now, these rich kids who are born with privilege seem a bit... not good enough in front of Chu Nan, a promising genius.

Chu Lianlian released Long Tao's arm, looked at Chu Nan, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but no suitable words came to mind.

Furthermore, her current mindset is completely different from when she first met Chu Nan.

After all, Chu Lianlian always thought she was the one who was doing well.

Chu Nan was just a once-glorious genius student at Peking University Medical School, while she was the one who left him and is now doing quite well, even about to become a wealthy wife.

This is the sense of superiority she has maintained throughout the relationship.

But as she looked at the two women holding Chu Nan's arm, her sense of superiority was being slowly shattered by something sharper.

It's not jealousy, but a more primal understanding that's hard for any woman to accept.

Chu Nan not only did not fail, but also obtained something he had never had before.

Her current boyfriend, after being ridiculed, didn't even have the courage to refute it.

Chu Lianlian suddenly spoke, her voice somewhat hoarse, "Chu Nan, what is your relationship with these two...?"

The faint sense of superiority that had been there before was gone from her tone.

Of course, Chu Lianlian wasn't concerned about Chu Nan; she just wanted to know the answer.

I left Chu Nan back then because I felt that Chu Nan wasn't worth waiting for.

But now, the man standing in front of her is accompanied by two women she could never reach in her lifetime.

She wanted to know if the choice she made back then, which seemed absolutely right, was really the right one.

Before Chu Nan could answer, Xia Wantang tilted her head slightly and said in a tone that sounded like she was seriously considering something, "Didn't I say we're Chu Nan's girlfriends? Right, cutie?"

Chu Lianlian's expression finally changed completely.

These two women are richer, have higher status, and are more beautiful than Longtao, whom she relies on.

She thought she was doing well after leaving Chu Nan, but now it seems that Chu Nan is doing much better than her after she left.

Long Tao gritted his teeth, realizing that continuing the conversation would only make things more embarrassing. He grabbed Chu Lianlian and turned to leave, but Chu Lianlian didn't move. "Wait a minute."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

She looked at Chu Nan, her expression no longer calm and composed as before, but instead filled with a long-suppressed resentment and questioning.

From a sense of superiority to disillusionment, and from disillusionment to resentment.

She didn't care that Longtao had lost face; what she cared about was that the person she thought was a loser was actually doing better than her.

"Chu Nan, what exactly makes you think you can do this?"

Chu Lianlian bit her lower lip, forcing out the words through clenched teeth, "Others may not know, but do you think I don't? You simply... you could never be with them—"

She paused here, seemingly hesitant to finish her sentence.

Chu Nan knew what she wanted to say.

Before he broke up with Chu Lianlian, their relationship had already run into problems.

She took the initiative once, and of course he wanted it, but he was bound by the Lotus Law, and each time he was forced to stop at the last minute.

Chu Lianlian misunderstood, thinking that he didn't want her.

This incident left an unhealable rift in their relationship.

Later, he assaulted his mentor, ruining his future, and she chose to leave.

But in truth, Chu Lianlian had always harbored a thorn in her heart; she had actually suspected that Chu Nan was not incapable.

It's not because I'm pretty enough or attractive enough to the other person.

Now that she saw two women standing next to Chu Nan who were countless times more beautiful than her, that thorn finally started to stick out.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Chu Nan had no lingering feelings for Chu Lianlian, but he also harbored no ill will towards her.

They had long since moved on from each other, and he assumed the other person felt the same way.

"What am I trying to say? I'm trying to say stop pretending! You simply can't—"

"He can't do anything at all?"

Xia Wantang picked up where Chu Lianlian left off, looking at her with the same eyes one would give a child who didn't know any better.

"You're his ex-girlfriend, right? How long have you been broken up? A year? Two years? When he was with me, he never seemed like a man with any problems, but you..."

She looked Chu Lianlian up and down, her gaze devoid of any emotion, yet more unsettling than any emotion could suggest.

"You left him when he was going through the hardest time, and now that you see him doing well, you're resentful and want to spread rumors and slander a man you once loved in front of everyone?"

Chu Lianlian's face flushed red instantly, and she bit her lip, unable to speak.

Long Tao broke the silence first, his head down, not daring to look at Chu Nan or Xia Wantang.

"Mr. Chu, I was wrong just now. I didn't recognize your greatness. Please don't hold it against me and your friend."

After saying that, he grabbed Chu Lianlian's wrist and quickly walked out of the sales hall.

Chu Nan watched the two figures disappear outside the door, then looked down at his own arms that were being held.

Xia Wantang on the left still held on confidently, while Jiang Yingxue on the right still had red ears but didn't let go.

"Um...can you loosen it now?"

"Relax first."

Jiang Yingxue spoke these words to Xia Wantang, her voice barely audible, but her hand remained still.

"I'll let go if you let go!"

Chu Nan stood in front of the sand table, looking helpless.

He said he wanted to buy a house, but before he even saw any houses, he put on a melodramatic show that everyone watched.

"I suddenly don't want to buy a house anymore..."

"If you don't want to watch it, then don't watch it~"

Xia Wantang giggled, "But since I just stood up for you, shouldn't you make it up to me?"

"How about this, you cook for me tonight, no, it can't just be cooking, you also have to...feed me~"
