"Please come in?" Ling Zhenfei said.

Then the door opened, and Liu Bingying walked in.

When Ling Zhenfei saw Liu Bingying, he exclaimed with joy, "Sister, what brings you here?"

With a smile, Liu Bingying said, "You made such a big scene in the hospital, how could I not come and see?"

As Liu Bingying spoke, she couldn't help but glance at He Lingxiu, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Ling Zhenfei quickly introduced the two women. He Lingxiu, somewhat shyly, said, "Hello, Sister."

Liu Bingying sized up He Lingxiu and then nodded, saying, "Not bad, not bad at all. The little sister is really quite a 'water spirit,' a perfect match for Zhenfei."

Made even more bashful by Liu Bingying's words, He Lingxiu blushed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Sister. Your elegance is truly incomparable."

Ling Zhenfei knew that both women were harboring secret thoughts; He Lingxiu must have been pondering his relationship with Liu Bingying.

And Liu Bingying must also have been wondering if He Lingxiu was Ling Zhenfei's girlfriend. Although it was their first meeting, there was a very subtle connection between them that made the atmosphere quite special.

"Sister, why don't we all have dinner together tonight? It would be good for you to get to know each other."

Liu Bingying scoffed and said, "There's no need for that; you two are so busy. Besides, I have children, I can't really compare with you young folks."

Ling Zhenfei felt that Liu Bingying was a bit jealous, but it also didn't seem like it.

When Ling Zhenfei had started out with Liu Bingying, he had once expressed a willingness to marry her, but she had turned him down, so there was no need to be jealous of another woman, right?

But everyone knows a woman's mind is very hard to guess. Who knows what Liu Bingying is really thinking now?

"I came here just to check on you, and now that I see you're alright, I'll be going," said Liu Bingying, preparing to leave.

Ling Zhenfei quickly said, "Then let me walk you out."

After saying this, he followed Liu Bingying out. She walked quickly, and Ling Zhenfei hurried to catch up.

"What's the matter, Sister, why are you in such a rush?" Ling Zhenfei caught up with Liu Bingying, noticing she looked somewhat upset.

Liu Bingying shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I'm fine."

Seeing tears welling up in Liu Bingying's eyes, Ling Zhenfei urgently said, "Sister, don't lie to me. What's really going on?"

Liu Bingying looked around, considering the hospital was still crowded, and said, "Really, it's nothing."

After that, she continued walking forward. Seeing Liu Bingying like this, Ling Zhenfei obviously couldn't let her go alone and thus followed behind.

Soon, Liu Bingying returned to her office, and Ling Zhenfei followed her inside.

There was no one else in the office, and Liu Bingying just sat in the office chair, lost in thought.

"What's the matter, Sister? Tell me what's bothering you."

Ling Zhenfei's eyes fell as he said, "Actually, I don't know why, but seeing you with He Lingxiu, I suddenly felt inexplicably sad."

"Why sad? It's only their first meeting; she hasn't done anything to upset you, Sister." Ling Zhenfei was especially puzzled.

Liu Bingying looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Be honest with your sister, what exactly is your relationship with her? It can't be that simple. Is she your girlfriend?"

Ling Zhenfei was at a loss for a moment, but eventually nodded and then shook his head, saying, "We've grown up together since we were children. I know she likes me a lot, but whether she is my girlfriend, I also don't know."

Liu Bingying sighed and said, "I knew this day would definitely come, I just didn't expect it to come so soon. I've always known that you would eventually leave me; I just didn't expect it to be this soon."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "Sister, what are you talking about? I don't want to leave you at all."

Liu Bingying said, "Don't be silly, you have a girlfriend now. How could I keep holding on to you?"

Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly, realizing that this was what Liu Bingying was worried about.

"Don't worry, Sister, even if I really do have a girlfriend, I won't forget about you."

"Zhenfei, I've just thought of something," Liu Bingying suddenly said.

"Go ahead, Sister. I'll agree to whatever it is," he replied.

Liu Bingying finally showed a smile and then said, "I want to keep you tied to my side forever, so I want you to be Xiao Ke's godfather."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Why be a godfather when I could be a real father instead?"

Liu Bingying playfully said in annoyance, "Stop joking. I'm serious. This way, even if we are close, no one can say anything, and I can still see you often."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "That's a great idea. You arrange it, and let's pick a good day to settle this."

"Okay, that's settled then."

Ling Zhenfei then walked back the way he came.

"Brother Afei, I just felt like that sister didn't like me," He Lingxiu said to Ling Zhenfei.

"Don't be ridiculous. Sister Liu is the best sister ever. She was just upset about work stuff earlier. I've already comforted her."

He Lingxiu still sounded doubtful, "Is that really it? Also, I feel like you two have a very close relationship."

Ling Zhenfei was startled; He Lingxiu really was sharp, having noticed right away the special relationship between him and Liu Bingying.

"Of course, my relationship with Sister Liu is special. Her daughter is going to be my goddaughter, so what does that tell you about our relationship?"

That explanation from Ling Zhenfei was perfect, and He Lingxiu didn't say anything more.

After resting for a while, they immediately started the afternoon consultations.

During the consultation, Ling Zhenfei's phone suddenly rang. It was Old Master Qiu whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Since Qiu Qian had left, Ling Zhenfei hadn't seen Old Master Qiu for a while, nor had he even visited the Qiu Family. That family really was too chaotic.

"Old Master Qiu, what made you think of calling me?" Ling Zhenfei was very happy to hear from Old Master Qiu.

Old Master Qiu said with a laugh, "My boy, if you don't miss me, this old man still misses you. I was reading the newspaper this morning and saw an interview with you, so I couldn't resist giving you a call."

"It made the newspapers so quickly? I haven't seen it so I didn't know. How was it, they didn't speak ill of me, did they?"

Old Master Qiu chuckled, "No, not only did they not speak ill of you, they spoke well of you. Also, I read that you're planning to open a restaurant?"

Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "Yes, Old Master Qiu, and I'll be inviting you to come try our restaurant's dishes."

"Of course, if you don't invite me, I'll have to come find you. I'll talk to the newspaper editors and have them give you some extra publicity."

Ling Zhenfei said happily, "That would be truly appreciated, Old Master Qiu. Your word definitely carries weight."
