Afraid that Xiao Lang might suspect something, Li Mingxi answered the phone naturally.
"Hi." She said calmly.
Long Jiutian's smiling voice came from the other end: "You don't seem to want to receive my call?"
Nonsense, of course she doesn't want to.
"Mr. Long, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Li Mingxi's tone was still calm.
But she didn't notice that Xiao Lang beside her was holding the steering wheel loosely with both hands.
"I just want to ask you, do you miss me?" Long Jiutian asked affectionately.
Li Mingxi's face turned dark.
How did she answer this?
Whether you think about it or not, it will make Xiao Lang unhappy.
Li Mingxi smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I am still somewhat sure of Mr. Long's illness, so don't be pessimistic."
"Xiao Lang is with you?" Long Jiutian asked smartly.
Li Mingxi continued to answer the question: "If nothing happens, I will hang up. Okay, bye."
Li Mingxi hung up the phone rudely and secretly muted the phone.
She put down her phone and turned her head to see Xiao Lang's expressionless face.
Xiao Lang asked casually: "Did Long Jiutian call?"
"Yeah, he just asked about his condition. By the way, you just said you wanted to recruit someone, so you go ahead and I'm listening." Li Mingxi changed the subject with a smile.
Xiao Lang's mood suddenly became very bad.
She asked him to recruit him, but what about her?
Why didn't she tell him what happened between her and Long Jiutian?
She didn't tell him because she didn't want him to worry, or did she and Long Jiutian really have something going on?
Xiao Lang couldn't guess what Li Mingxi was thinking now.
He was in a bad mood and his tone was very cold: "There's nothing to do. I have nothing to do with Miss Ma. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."
Li Mingxi was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked in confusion, "Are you angry?"
"..." Xiao Lang pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Mingxi didn't know why his expression changed. He was obviously fine before.
She thought about it and wondered if he was in a bad mood because of Long Jiutian.
After all, he doesn't like Long Jiutian, nor does he like her treating him.
Li Mingxi smiled: "Are you angry because of Long Jiutian? As I said, he is just my patient, so don't think too much about it."
Xiao Lang wanted to know whether he was overthinking it or whether it was really true. She knew it in her heart!
But he just didn't have the guts to ask.
He can't afford to gamble...
"Have you thought carefully about what you said last night? Do you want to quit this job?" he asked suddenly.
Li Mingxi didn't know what happened to Xiao Lang.
She had no choice but to speak cautiously: "I told you, I won't quit. You have to have a beginning and an end to everything you do. I don't want to give up halfway."
Xiao Lang felt even more irritable.
She was reluctant to resign because she couldn't bear to part with Long Jiutian.
"But I don't want you to treat a man alone. Now you can rest at home, can't you?"
Li Mingxi said jokingly: "I really want me to be a housewife at home and not be able to go out to work."
"I can support you, you don't need to continue working." Xiao Lang said seriously.
"I know what you mean, but I also have to live a meaningful life."
"Then you buy the hospital back and go to work as before. If you quit this job, you can still work."
Li Mingxi discovered that Xiao Lang had a strong prejudice against Long Jiutian.
Of course she didn't like to see Long Jiutian either.
But this was the first time she saw Xiao Lang rejecting someone so much.
