Chapter 2483: Late Night Longing

It rang several times before Xiaohe answered the call.

“Dr Zhou.” An Rui had signed with a management company and had debuted as the center of the female group. Her popularity had soared and although the program had ended, for An Rui, the new challenge had just begun.

As An Rui’s assistant, Xiaohe naturally got busy as well.

“Xiaohe, did Ruirui move away?”

“Yes, yes. Sister Ruirui has signed a new company and has signed an agreement with Qing Guo. The seven members of the girl group have requested to stay in a villa arranged by us. Recently, there have been a lot of work. After a few days of work, we have to go to the countryside to record a life variety show.”

Zhou Li’s heart ached for An Rui’s workload, but he knew that this was what she wanted!

He would not interfere with her work.

“Why can’t I get through to her phone? Did she change her number?”

“No, no. She’s recording a show now and her phone is turned off as requested.”

Zhou Li instructed gently, “Take good care of her and don’t let her lose weight and skip dinner. Her stomach won’t be able to take it in the long run.”

“Okay, I will, but Dr Zhou…” Xiaohe hesitated.

Zhou Li said, “You can say what you want to say.”

“Doctor Zhou, Sister Ruirui’s career has just improved. If her relationship is exposed now, it will have a certain impact on her… Of course, Sister Ruirui didn’t ask me to say these words. I said it myself…”

Zhou Li was not angry and hummed softly. “I know.”

After ending the call, Xiaohe felt a little guilty.

Doctor Zhou was such a good person. Would it be unfair to him to let him be in a relationship with Sister Ruirui?

However, if she announced her relationship, Sister Ruirui’s career would definitely be affected.

Xiaohe gritted her teeth and decided not to tell An Rui about this and let her focus on her career.

After a busy day, An Rui was exhausted.

Lying on the bed, An Rui took out her phone and opened her WeChat with Zhou Li.

He was back.

But why wasn’t there even a call?

Did he have something with another woman when he was abroad?

No, no, no.

He was definitely not that kind of person.

Besides, after Xiaohe answered his call, he asked Xiaohe to tell her that the woman was just the patient’s sister and that they had no unspeakable relationship!

He had always been considerate and attentive. Since he did not call her after returning to the country, he should know that she had participated in the girl group variety show and guessed that she was busy with work, right?

An Rui bit her lip and called him.

Her life had changed a lot in the past three months. Now, she was a bright female celebrity in the eyes of many people. When she went out, she would meet fans who liked her at any time.

But only she knew that she was still the An Rui from before. She would miss him in the middle of the night and sulk because he did not contact her.

The phone rang several times. Just when An Rui thought that no one would answer, a slightly familiar female voice came from the other end of the line. “Hello, you’re looking for Dr Zhou, right? Wait a minute, I’ll call him over…”

It was that woman again!!!

An Rui was furious.

When he was abroad, that woman answered his call and he said that she was the patient’s sister.

Now that he was back in the country, why was that woman still answering the call so late at night?

An Rui hung up and turned off her phone in anger.

Shen Anyu looked at the phone and expressed that she really did not answer the call on purpose.

Shen Mingxiu invited Zhou Li over for a barbecue. ” n3wn0vel . 0rg ” The two of them had drunk too much and were sprawled on the table. Zhou Li’s phone rang and when she saw the caller ID of the baby, she thought of the call last time. She wanted to explain it to him personally, but he did not give her a chance…

Shen Anyu came up to Zhou Li and pushed his arm. “Dr Zhou, your baby just called?”

Zhou Li slowly opened his drunken eyes. He massaged his temples, his voice slightly hoarse. “Who?”

“The baby on your phone.”

Zhou immediately sat up straight.

He took the phone from Shen Anyu.

Two seconds later, he looked at Shen Anyu sharply. “You answered my call again?”

Looking at Zhou Li’s gaze that seemed to shoot two holes in her, Shen Anyu’s scalp turned numb.

She scratched her head. “You and my brother drank too much and your phone kept ringing. I saw that it was your baby and thought that she had misunderstood last time and wanted to explain to her, but she hung up directly.”

Shen Anyu was a little aggrieved and curious.

What kind of woman could make the usually gentle Dr Zhou change her expression?

Zhou Li said coldly, “Don’t touch my phone again.”

“Yes, yes. Oh my, can you not make it seem like I’ve committed a terrible crime?”

Zhou Li ignored Shen Anyu, stood up and walked to a secluded place.

He called An Rui, but her phone was turned off.

….

An Rui could not get through for several days.

Zhou Li could not contact her and could only see her on the entertainment news.

Yesterday, An Rui went to the countryside of the neighboring city to film a variety show. A reporter at the airport took photos of her greeting a young hunk who had become popular in the summer. The gossip reporter wrote that she might have a deep relationship with the young hunk.

Zhou Li knew that these were written by gossip reporters.

But now that he could not contact her, the distance between them became more obvious.

He was a little confused and depressed.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the office door.

Zhou Li looked up at Shen Mingxiu, who was walking in slowly.

Although his rehabilitation training was going well, Shen Mingxiu had not recovered to how he was before the accident.

Even if she could walk normally in the future, she would not be able to do intense exercise, such as playing basketball…

Shen Mingxiu sat opposite Zhou Li.

“Were you thinking about An Rui just now?”

Zhou Li pursed his lips slightly and said nothing.

“Shen Anyu confessed to me. She answered your call again the night before, didn’t she? I saw the entertainment news yesterday. It must be nonsense. Don’t believe it.”

Zhou Li hummed. “I don’t believe you.”

“That…” Shen Mingxiu scratched his head, his expression slightly awkward and uncomfortable. “I’m very sorry for what I said to you before I went abroad for the surgery. Now that I think about it, I was indeed too immature in the past…”

“If An Rui misunderstood you, shall I explain it to you?”

Zhou Li shook his head. “I’ll explain to her.”

….

An Rui recorded the program in a secluded village.

She did not expect that the weather would change drastically that night.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

According to the team’s request, they were staying in a wooden house and the strong wind made the house creak.

An Rui hugged the blanket tightly. Although it was late at night, she still could not fall asleep.

An Rui ran out with a pale face.

The others were already asleep. The wooden house was rather quiet, with only a few surveillance cameras facing her.

An Rui wrapped her arms around her chest and ran downstairs.
