Chapter 101: Xiaojia's Despair

Handsome: "For a girl as beautiful as you, not dressing up every day is like standing by a latrine without ever using it—simply a waste."

Saying this, he stood beside Prince Xuan and struck a cute pose, then took a selfie with him.

Handsome: "Absolutely stunning!"

Prince Xuan shifted uncomfortably and looked around seriously. "Handsome."

Handsome: "Hmm?"

Prince Xuan: "Hide."

Handsome glanced around briefly, then swiftly dove into the low bushes—the legendary grass hideout. Prince Xuan then took on a grand, heroic stance, exuding overwhelming dominance and a fierce aura.

Handsome peeked out, scanning the surroundings. "Is it here yet?"

Prince Xuan: "I have a feeling. It’s really coming."

Xiao Jia sat there, daydreaming about running towards Dr. Bai as the sun set—a dream of pursuit. She had even thought of names for their future child. But Dr. Bai’s voice message beside her abruptly pulled her back from that fantasy to reality, from heaven to hell.

Dr. Bai: "Charlie, just send me the restaurant location directly. See you there tonight without fail."

Another WeChat message arrived. Opening it, she read and then said, "Xiao Bao, I only have time tomorrow afternoon. Can you pick me up then?"

Unintentionally glancing back at Xiao Jia while chatting on WeChat, Dr. Bai returned to fiddling with her phone.

Dr. Bai: "What are you thinking about? You’re drooling."

Xiao Jia, excited: "Nothing."

Dr. Bai: "When I just fell asleep, did Teddy come by?"

Xiao Jia: "Not that I’ve noticed."

Dr. Bai: "Then just wait a little longer."

Xiao Jia shyly asked, "Dr. Bai, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you."

Dr. Bai: "Hmm?"

Xiao Jia: "Why don’t you have a boyfriend?"

Dr. Bai: "I just replied to that."

Xiao Jia grew more nervous. "I mean, like a long-term, stable, serious relationship."

Dr. Bai: "Who said I’m not serious?"

Xiao Jia: "Have you ever thought about finding someone to marry?"

Dr. Bai turned her head with a sigh. "I’m not short on security or money. Look at Director Zhou. She married young. Do you think she’s happy now?"

After speaking, she patted Xiao Jia’s shoulder and moved to another stool. Her phone kept buzzing with WeChat messages. Xiao Jia followed, half-squatting beside the stool.

Xiao Jia: "I really can’t comment on Sister Ning’s private life, but I know this: whether it’s a boyfriend or not, the other person has to be an honest and reliable man. Ideally, someone who works at the same place—someone you know inside and out. That’s my take."

Dr. Bai picked up her phone and started a voice message, cutting off Xiao Jia’s words awkwardly.

Dr. Bai: "Jason, didn’t we already agree? Just dating. I’m not ready to marry yet. You should find someone more suitable for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Jia completely lost it, collapsing against the back of the bench, thinking maybe it’s better to just give up. Just then, a Teddy quietly approached, carefully observing the situation.

Teddy muttered to himself, "Why does this woman smell like a vet?"

Without lingering, he turned and ran off, unnoticed by the two.

Prince Xuan had been standing there for a long time with no sign of anything happening—awkwardly still.
