Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 188 Isn't this exactly what the general wanted?

Jing Weimian's fingers were still pressed against the edge of Lu Lianbai's nameplate and had not been removed.

She continued to stare into Lu Lianbai's deep blue eyes, trying to catch something unusual in the depths of his pupils.

Gu Lixi, who was standing at the door of the ward, walked in holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Weimian, what happened?"

Jing Weimian snapped out of her daze, looked the two of them up and down, and realized that her imposing manner in holding Lu Lianbai was no different from interrogating a criminal.

She frowned slightly and had no choice but to let go of Lu Lianbai, who had been forced against the wall.

He spoke in a lukewarm tone.

"Feel sorry."

Knowing that this was not the time for interrogation, she turned to meet Gu Lixi's worried and puzzled gaze, but did not offer any explanation. She simply said casually, "It's nothing, just a personal matter."

Then he asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard about Wei Chen's injury and I was worried, so I took time off work to come and check on him. How is Wei Chen now? Is he alright?"

As Gu Lixi spoke, she was about to place the bouquet of flowers on the bedside table.

Suddenly, a deep, calm reminder came from behind.

"The patient's mental state is currently under observation, and the scent of flowers is highly likely to agitate him."

Gu Lixi paused noticeably as she bent down to place the flowers, then smiled and said, "Really? I didn't think that through."

He slowly stood up, turned his head, and gave Lu Lianbai, who was still standing indifferently by the wall, a rather formal look.

Having learned his name from his nameplate, he remained kind and friendly: "Could you please help me take this bouquet of flowers out, Dr. Lu?"

As she spoke, she handed the bouquet of flowers in her hand to Lu Lianbai.

However, Lu Lianbai did not reach out to take it.

He looked at the man in front of him unmoved and refused in a flat tone, "No."

Gu Lixi was slightly taken aback, then heard Lu Lianbai calmly continue, "The injured person still has one more examination to undergo. Please wait outside, sir."

Gu Lixi's gentle smile froze slightly for a second or two, probably because he didn't expect a doctor from the medical department to dare to speak to him like that.

Because Jing Weimian was still in the ward, Gu Lixi did not want to do anything that would damage his image in front of Jing Weimian, so he had to hold back for the time being.

He turned to Jing Weimian, who was standing to the side, and smiled helplessly: "Weimian, Dr. Lu needs to do some tests, so shall we wait outside for a while?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Lianbai straightened the collar that Jing Weimian had rumpled, and said as he walked back towards the hospital bed:
"As a family member of the wounded, the general may need to stay behind for the time being. I have a few related questions to ask the general."

Jing Weimian stood still, and upon hearing this, she raised an eyebrow without making a sound, showing no objection.

"Sleepless—"

Jing Weimian withdrew her gaze slightly from Lu Lianbai, turned her head to Gu Lixi and said, "Then you can wait for me outside."

Gu Lixi maintained a composed expression and said slowly, "Okay, remember to let me know if anything happens."

After Gu Lixi left the ward with the bouquet of flowers, Jing Weimian stared at Lu Lianbai's slender fingers as he turned on the scanner by the bedside, looking thoughtful.

"Is there some kind of entanglement between Dr. Lu and Gu Lixi?"

Lu Lianbai's fingers, which were adjusting the instrument's values, paused slightly, but he remained silent. Jing Weimian had no intention of letting him off the hook. She crossed her arms and strolled forward unhurriedly, openly scrutinizing his handsome, aloof face.

"I think Dr. Lu has a lot of opinions about my fiancé."

It was unclear which of her words had struck a nerve, but Lu Lianbai's eyes grew increasingly dark and unfathomable as he forced out a few words from his thin lips: "The General has misunderstood."

"is it?"

Jing Weimian waited patiently for him to finish the scan, and as he turned around, she reached out and grabbed his wrist again, "Dare you say you didn't deliberately try to get rid of Gu Lixi?"

Lu Lianbai calmly looked her straight in the eyes and admitted, "I am."

Jing Weimian raised an eyebrow: "Reason?"

Lu Lianbai's gaze slowly moved down, landing on her beautifully shaped but indifferent lips. He paused for a moment and said, "I hate this person."

He said this without stating the reason directly.

Jing Weimian didn't press further. She withdrew her hand, still able to smell the faint, cool fragrance lingering around her, which became clearer as she got closer.

"Then what did Dr. Lu mean by what he just said? Should I know Dr. Lu?"

Lu Lianbai tried to find the slightest flaw in Jing Weimian's disguise.

But it didn't.

Jing Weimian looked at him with such unfamiliar eyes, as if she had never known him at all.

Did she find the time she spent with him on Whale Island too unbearable, so she simply pretended not to know him?

Or perhaps... she was afraid that her fiancé, surnamed Gu, with whom she was deeply in love, would find out about their past on Whale Island, so even if she recognized him, she had to pretend that she didn't recognize him at all.

Lu Lianbai couldn't even question him.

After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "It's just that I was fortunate enough to participate in fleet rescue operations when I was in the war zone before, so it's normal that the admiral doesn't recognize me."

Jing Weimian looked at him: "Is that so?"

"Ah."

Lu Lianbai briefly explained the test results, then said, "I'll head out now."

As he turned around again, Jing Weimian grabbed his wrist and pressed him against the window next to the hospital bed.

Lu Lianbai's legs were long and straight. Jing Weimian used one leg to block his left leg, and with the other leg slightly bent at the knee, she forcefully spread his straight and closed legs apart, forcing him to bend over.

She reached out and hooked her hand around the back of his neck, her slender yet strong fingers gripping his short, stiff hair. She deliberately pulled his hair back, almost tilting his shoulders and back towards the window of the high-rise building.

Jing Weimian, however, changed from her previous relaxed attitude to a cold and stern expression:

"Dr. Lu, I've interrogated countless prisoners in the military. Are you sure you want to lie to me?"

Lu Lianbai's chest rose and fell slowly and powerfully, his chin resting against Jing Weimian's outstretched wrist, his lips almost touching the warmth of her wrist skin.

The memory of kissing that beautifully curved wrist bone again and again, burying my face in it and rubbing against it, flashed clearly through my mind.

Lu Lianbai even remembered the temperature and touch of his own lips moving over it with unmistakable familiarity.

But at this moment, meeting Jing Weimian's cold, judgmental gaze, he straightened his thin lips and coldly squeezed out the words:
"So what kind of answer does the general want to hear? Does it matter to the general whether he recognizes the person or not?"

"I said the general didn't recognize me, isn't that exactly what the general wanted?"
