In a good mood, Han Guoguo woke up several minutes earlier.

She was looking for her brother downstairs, but after searching around, she couldn't find Han Yue anywhere. She was puzzled; wasn't he supposed to take her to work? If he didn't come soon, she would be late.

Han Guoguo went into the kitchen, grabbed some breakfast, and asked her father, "Brother Yu, where's my brother? Hasn't he come downstairs?"

As the two were talking, Xiao Shuai came in and interrupted Han's father, who was about to answer. He respectfully greeted the Han couple, saying, "Good morning, Brother Yu and Sister Lu. Brother Yue asked me to pick up Miss Han to go to work."

Han Guoguo glanced at the time, not having time to dwell on why her brother wasn't seeing her off today. "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving."

Han's mother was taken aback by her daughter's sudden change in address, and then responded calmly, "Mm."

Han's father instructed the two who were walking quickly outside, "Xiao Shuai, safety comes first."

Xiao Shuai: "Brother Yu, I will." Even if something happens to him, he won't let the young lady get hurt.

In the car, Han Guoguo asked Xiao Shuai, "Did my brother ask you to pick me up? Didn't he say he'd take me?"

Xiao Shuai honestly recounted the story, "Yes, Miss, Yue Ge called me last night asking me to drive you to and from get off work, because he's going to sleep."

Han Guoguo: Damn, he's retired to bed after only a few days of delivering packages.

Inside the hospital, Han Guoguo had a rosy smile on her face, and everyone around her could feel her joy. She was all smiles as she filled out forms and signed her name in the morning.

Many parents frequently bring their children to register for her appointment.

The reason is that Han Guoguo has a good personality, can make children happy, and is particularly patient. Some mothers have a lot of questions, and Han Guoguo answers them one by one, always with a smile.

There was not the slightest bit of impatience.

The parents who come regularly can't help but ask Han Guoguo if she's dating someone. Han Guoguo shyly waves her hand and says no. Just by looking at her expression and gesture, the parents who asked the question know that she's shy.

He even gave me his blessings before leaving.

Just before I was about to leave work, Su Yu sent me a message: Let's have lunch together, it's on me.

Han Guoguo generously decided that it would be foolish not to go when someone invites you to eat: OK.

Su Yu: I'm here to pick you up.

Han Guoguo quickly refused, not wanting Yao Yao and the others to know yet. She'd wait until they were really together before discussing it. For now, she'd treat it as a time for them to get to know each other. What if Su Yu discovered her flaws and couldn't accept her? Or what if she discovered Su Yu's problems and couldn't accept him?

Anything is possible. We're all in the same circle. If it succeeds, that's fine. But if it fails, the more people who know, the more awkward it will be. It's better to keep a low profile.

There's no need to publicize this to the whole world.

Han Guoguo: I drove here.

Su Yu: Have your driver bring you here, or I'll pick you up.

Han Guoguo: ?

What do you mean? She can drive, okay?

Su Yu thought for a moment and found a suitable word that wouldn't discourage her: "There are some restaurants in the capital that you're not familiar with, but your driver might be more familiar with them. If you take the wrong bus, you'll be late for work."

Hearing this, Han Guoguo thought it made sense: OK, it's settled then, send me your location.

Soon, Su Yu sent his location. After sending the location, Su Yu stood in front of the transparent glass, straightened his clothes and adjusted his glasses. Satisfied, he picked up his phone and prepared to leave. Inside the room, Qin Kai was still looking at the details of recent goods coming in and going out.

Seeing that he was about to leave, she assumed he was going to eat, so she quickly closed the documents and got up as well. "Go out to eat, wait for me."

"I have something to do, so I can't go with you," Su Yu refused, a hint of joy hidden beneath his refined demeanor.

Upon hearing this, Qin Kai paused, feeling abandoned. "Wait, what's going on with you? You're in a relationship with a woman?"

"If you're with a guy, you have to bring me along; if you're with a girl, I'll just leave."

Su Yu smiled, "Chasing someone."

He left after saying that, leaving Qin Kai bewildered. So this guy has fallen for the eldest daughter of the Han family and is planning to pursue her? Is he that aggressive?

Han Guoguo also sent a message to Tang Junyao and Su Xue, telling them that she had to go out for a while and would not be having lunch with them.

Su Xue: What delicious food are you going to eat, abandoning me, a pregnant woman?

Tang Junyao: Su Xiaoxue, the food in the cafeteria isn't enough to fill your stomach. Guoguo, you go ahead. We can take care of ourselves.

Han Guoguo: Hehe, my friend treated me to dinner.

Su Xue: Okay, I'll allow you to dump me. I'd be even more satisfied if the other person was a man.

Tang Junyao urged in the group chat: Aunt Su, hurry up and let's head to the cafeteria.

Su Xue: Here I am, here I am.

A certain restaurant in the capital city serves cuisine from a specific region. Su Yu figured that someone like Han Guoguo would definitely enjoy eating there, since Su Xue also loves to eat, and any place with good food can attract Su Xue.

If we analyze it this way, Han Guoguo is the same; this place was something he searched for online for a long time before finding.

Su Yu arrived first and ordered all the recommended dishes with high ratings, so that they could sit down and eat as soon as Han Guoguo arrived without being late.

Ten minutes later, Han Guoguo arrived late.

Their relationship has now shifted to one of pursuit and being pursued, and the atmosphere has changed. Even Han Guoguo blushed slightly, her ears turning red. To hide her embarrassment, she tucked her collarbone-length hair behind her ear and sat down naturally.

Su Yu had already pulled out the chairs in advance. Han Guoguo had dressed up carefully today, wearing a pure white irregular short-sleeved shirt, wide-leg jeans, and sneakers. She had light makeup on her face and looked very pretty.

Clean and comfortable—that was Su Yu's first impression.

After staring at the person in front of him for a minute, Su Yu came to his senses and politely introduced, "This is the menu. See if there's anything else you'd like to eat?"

Han Guoguo sat down gracefully, scratched her hair again, looking a little awkward and shy. She took the menu and glanced at the dishes Su Yu had ordered. They were all recommended by the manager, so it seemed she had done her research. Ordering more would be a waste. "That's all for now. It seems a bit too much for the two of us."

On the table, according to the menu, there were already dishes such as Plum Ribs, Beggar's Chicken, Pine Nut Crab Stir-fried Rice Cake, Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wings, and Sweet and Sour Fish.

Water spinach with minced garlic, and three-ingredient soup.

There are three types of drinks: apple juice, soy milk, and milk.

Han Guoguo thought Su Yu had some misunderstanding about her stomach and wanted to explain. Su Yu had been paying attention to her actions and naturally noticed her embarrassment. He explained first, "I didn't know what you wanted to drink, so I ordered everything. Take whatever you like, and I'll know next time."

Han Guoguo sat next to Su Yu. When she spoke, her warm breath tickled her. "You're quite thoughtful. If you told people you've never been in a relationship, they probably wouldn't believe you."

Su Yu explained seriously, setting the bowls and chopsticks apart, "We really haven't talked about it. You're the first person I've ever pursued."

Han Guoguo's face flushed again. They were eating; couldn't they have refrained from such blatant flirting? Wasn't she supposed to be reserved? Why was she being so open now? She replied, "Oh."

With her head down, Su Yu picked up her chopsticks to eat. She carefully moved the dishes that the waiter thought looked delicious to her, saying, "Try them."

I used the serving chopsticks to put some food on her plate, and then patiently waited for her feedback after she ate it. Han Guoguo took a bite and said that the taste was very fresh and the chicken was smooth and tender. "Delicious!"

Su Yu was afraid she would put on airs, "You can treat me like I'm invisible when we eat. Just eat whatever you normally eat. Eating your fill here is the most authentic thing."

That put Han Guoguo at ease; pretending to be a lady was too tiring, it was killing her.

She was afraid that she would scare Su Yu away when she started eating. Did this guy have mind-reading abilities? Even more so than her brother. Before her little thought could even form, Su Yu had already explained away the awkward situation.

She was like a nobody.

Watching her eat heartily, Su Yu smiled instead. He never liked pretentious girls, and he liked Guo Guo because she had a genuine quality that others didn't have.

During the meal, Su Yu took good care of her, attending to every little detail, pouring drinks and serving soup, and even carefully removing the chicken skin with serving chopsticks.

Aside from Brother Yu and her brother, Su Yu was the third person to help her remove the chicken skin. She really didn't like eating chicken skin, but she loved eating chicken meat. However, the soft and chewy texture of the chicken skin was very uncomfortable to bite into.

She looked up at Su Yu, puzzled. "How did you know I don't like chicken skin?"

Su Yu patiently peeled the chicken, his slender fingers holding the chopsticks exuding sexiness. "You've looked at the beggar's chicken three times already, but you haven't made a move. I guess you probably don't like something about the chicken."

Han Guoguo: ".............." It's a pity this person isn't a policeman, otherwise criminals definitely wouldn't escape his eyes.

Did you study psychology before?

"No." I'm just more attentive and observant.

Meeting Han Guoguo's skeptical gaze, Su Yu reiterated, "Really, no."

After saying that, he put the meat he had chosen into her bowl.

A reminder: "Eat quickly, it'll upset your stomach if it gets cold."

"Oh." He really is a very kind and considerate guy.

Back at the Imperial Capital Hospital, with about 15 minutes left before her shift, Han Guoguo was in a great mood, walking with a light step and humming a little tune.

Her current relationship with Su Yu doesn't seem like that of a pursuer and the pursued; it's more like that of a real couple.

I bumped into Su Xue, who was going to the restroom. "Hey, you're back. How was the food? I thought you wouldn't make it back in time."

Han Guoguo looked away guiltily, glanced around, and didn't answer the question, "Where's Yaoyao?"

Su Xue invited Guo Guo to go to the restroom together, "It's the clinic. I just came from there. I need to use the restroom; I've been needing to pee a lot lately. Want to come along?"

When Han Guoguo was asked this, she seemed to feel the urge to urinate as well. "I think I feel it, let's go together."

Inside the toilet, each person had their own stall, and they could hear each other's voices in the next stall. While Su Xue was using the toilet, she listened to Han Guoguo using the toilet. "What kind of soup did you eat for lunch? You're peeing so much. If I didn't tell you to go to the toilet, you would have peed your pants."

"You're an OB-GYN, not a urologist, yet you can tell if I've drunk water just by listening to my urine volume. You're absolutely amazing."

Han Guoguo was speechless, and the two chatted through the door.

While in the restroom, Su Yu sent a message: Do you like barbecue? I'll take you to eat it tonight, it tastes pretty good.

Han Guoguo suspected that Su Yu wanted to conquer her stomach.

She still bowed down in front of the handsome guy and delicious food: "It's free, so why not take advantage of it? Come on!"

Su Yu: After get off work, you can have your driver take you to the intersection and then get in my car. If you have your driver take you, I can't bear to see him waiting in the car. I will take you home safely.

Han Guoguo thought about it and realized that their current situation seemed like an affair: Okay.

Su Xue waited outside for a while, and even after she had washed her hands, Han Guoguo still hadn't come out. "Do you have another one?"

"They're here, they're here."

Seeing Han Guoguo come out, Su Xue asked with concern, "You shouldn't have been unable to urinate completely, right? It's been so long."

"Empress Su, hurry up and get to work. I'm really impressed. Even though I'm not sick, you've guessed I'm riddled with illnesses."

If she keeps guessing like this, she might get a terminal illness.
