It was a simple greeting, but Ye Ning clearly inferred something else from it...
Yes, indeed. Ever since she became the Ye Ning she is now, he never stopped boasting about his knowledge of Mu Yeli.
Seeing Ye Ning's behavior, Gu Minzhi seemed to hold her in contempt.
Was she that surprised just because of an outstanding surgeon?
She clearly wasn't worldly-wise.
How could such a person be deserving of Mu Yeli, he wondered.
Ye Ning conceded that she might have been displaying too much surprise. She discreetly told Mu Yeli, "You two continue talking, I need to use the restroom."
"Ok, go ahead," Mu Yeli indulgently pat her on the head and said.
Ye Ning promptly escaped.
Once outside, she took a deep breath...
"Ye Ning, why are you running off?"
The head disciple cheerfully trailed behind.
Unlike Gong Ye's dimwittedness, the head disciple exuded a warm and reliable aura. When he smiles, one might consider him the epitome of the perfect gentleman.
