<h4>Chapter 410 Ruan Yang, You Were Chatting To That Ophthalmologist Today. I“m Angry.</h4>


    She shook Zheng Chongbing’s hand once again to soothe the tense atmosphere so Zheng Chongbing wouldn’t feel so embarrassed.


    Li Shaobin watched their two hands and his eyeballs almost popped out from anger. Really, did she think he was dead? She even held another man’s hand and only let go after a few seconds.


    Zheng Chongbing didn’t look at him again. Instead, he started chatting merrily with Ruan Yang. “I remember you had a role as a doctor. Many doctors from our hospital were following that drama back then.”


    “I don’t remember it because I lost part of my memory,” Ruan Yang said simply.


    “Yes, I did hear about that. Actually, I’ve met quite a few patients who lost their memories. Sometimes, it might not be a bad thing.” Zheng Chongbing continued, “They might even be happier.”


    Ruan Yang nodded. “That’s true.”


    Li Shaobin saw how they started to get deeper into the conversation and he wanted to interrupt them but he couldn’t find anything to talk about. Just then, Yan Wo, who was in Ruan Yang’s embrace, started chuckling. Li Shaobin moved over to y with Yan Wo, making funny faces to make the little babyugh, causing Ruan Yang to unknowingly be attracted to the baby’sughter.


    ...


    During dinner, Song Chuyi prepared the beef in different ways. There was hotte and shabu-shabu. When they were getting seated, Ruan Yang sat down, and just when Li Shaobin was about to sit beside her, Changqing suddenly beckoned Zheng Chongbing over to sit. “Dr. Zheng,e sit over here. Brother Shaobin, you sit with my dad. You can have some drinks with him.”


    Li Shaobin’s face was full of gloom until Yan Lei beckoned him over while holding a bottle of wine. “Shaobin,e sit over here quickly. This is a great bottle of wine. It’s rich and fragrant, smooth and sweet. I guarantee you’ll want a second cup after trying it.”


    Changqing teased: “Dad, do you think everyone likes to drink as much as you do?”


    “Doesn’t Shaobin have a winery? He must know how to appreciate alcohol.” Yan Lei filled a cup to the brim passionately for Li Shaobin.


    Li Shaobin felt bitter inside. “Uncle Yan, you should pour some for that doctor too.”


    “I don’t drink.” Zheng Chongbing quickly shook his head. Song Chuyi nodded. “He really doesn’t drink.”


    “You doctors. Everything’s great about you except the fact that you don’t drink. How boring.” Yan Lei patted Li Shaobin’s arm. “You’re still the best. You’re willing to drink with Uncle. Drinking is only fun if you have someone drinking with you. Come,e,e, have a good round of drinks with Uncle tonight.”


    Li Shaobin felt exceptionally gloomy. Just as he saw Zheng Chongbing talking to Ruan Yang again, he wanted to say something to interrupt Zheng Chongbing, but he heard Yan Lei calling him again, talking to him about the good alcohol this year. He could only answer while watching Zheng Chongbing trying to appeal to Ruan Yang throughout the entire meal. Ruan Yang even replied to him. He felt ufortable—very ufortable—and because he felt this way, he drank several cups of alcohol gloomily.


    Yan Lei assumed Li Shaobin liked his alcohol and was delighted. “Isn’t it good? I knew you’d love it. Here, here, here, have a little more.”


    “Yan Lei, don’t keep pouring alcohol for him.” Shen Lu couldn’t bear to watch on. “He’ll get drunk like that.”


    “You can sleep at Uncle’s house tonight if you’re drunk.” Yan Lei was high on his drink and he said to Li Shaobin, “I wee you anytime.”


    “Thank you, Uncle Yan.” Li Shaobin forced out a smile. Thankfully, his alcohol tolerance was quite high, but Yan Lei had been drinking for decades so his alcohol tolerance wasn’t easily matched. The two only stopped after finishing the entire bottle with an alcohol percentage of more than 50%.


    When they were done, Li Shaobin felt his head throbbing. Hey on the couch to rest for a while and Shen Lu also gave him some tea. He closed his eyes for a while but kept hearing Zheng Chongbing going on and on.


    ...


    Ruan Yang only stood up to take her leave at 8:30 pm. “It’s gettingte; I’ll head back first. I still have to drive 40 to 50 minutes back even if there isn’t a jam.”


    “Why did you move so far away?” Changqing grumbled. “Why don’t you sleepover tonight? It’s not safe to drive at night. Last time...”


    “Last time, I took a ride from a certain someone. I’m driving this time and it’s not raining. There won’t be a problem,” Ruan Yang said with a smile as she nced at the certain someone lying on the couch.


    Li Shaobin could faintly hear her say she was about to leave. He opened his eyes with all his might. “You’re going back? It happens that I live in the northern part of the city too. I’ll take your car back.”


    Ruan Yang didn’t say anything but Changqing frowned. “You two are leaving together again? I don’t feel assured. Thest time you left together, you got into an ident. Why don’t both of you stay over?”


    “Don’t worry; it’s fine as long as he doesn’t drive,” Ruan Yang said with a smile and picked up her coat from the couch.


    Li Shaobin grumbled, “What do you mean? You make it sound as though my driving is worse than yours. Let me tell you—I took part in a professional racingpetition and even won an award.”


    “So what if you drive fast and got an award? It’s not even safe.” Ruan Yang stumped him with a sentence.


    Song Chuyi said, “Since you insist on going back, drive safely.”


    “I’ll go too.” Just then, Zheng Chongbing stood up. “I still have to work the morning shift tomorrow.”


    Changqing and Song Chuyi watched them walking to the car park in the yard.


    When the three of them were getting into their respective cars, Zheng Chongbing bade Ruan Yang farewell. “Miss Ruan, I’m so happy to have gotten to know you tonight. I hope there will be a chance for us to have a meal together next time.”


    Ruan Yang smiled and only said “okay” after a long while.


    When Li Shaobin heard that, he was fuming with anger. He sat in the passenger’s seat and didn’t even buckle his seatbelt.


    After Ruan Yang started the engine, the seatbelt alert system kept beeping so she reminded him: “Buckle up your seatbelt.”


    “No.” Li Shaobin turned his face away childishly.


    Ruan Yang wanted to lean over to help him buckle up, but when she saw Changqing and Song Chuyi by the side, she decided to drive off first.


    ...


    The car drove out for a distance and the rm kept beeping even more quickly. Ruan Yang’s head hurt from the constant beeping, so she stopped by the road and leaned over, trying to reach the seatbelt over by Li Shaobin’s side. However, it was too far away and she had her seatbelt on, so even after trying for a long time, she couldn’t reach the seatbelt. Instead, she was already pressing on him. She clenched her teeth. “Li Shaobin, I know you’re not sleeping. Put on your seatbelt.”


    “I’m not doing it.” Li Shaobin finally opened his eyes. His suave face was flushed because of the alcohol. “Ruan Yang, you were chatting with that ophthalmologist tonight. I’m angry.”


    “What are you angry about? I just replied to him out of courtesy.” Ruan Yang looked at him and couldn’t even get angry. Instead, she found it funny.


    “You two chatted for so long and you even ignored me.” Li Shaobin crossed his arms and grumbled angrily. “You even shook his hand twice.”


    “I shook his hand because you were unwilling too. That would’ve made Changqing feel very awkward, which was why I reached my hand out. Besides, you kept drinking and chatting with Uncle Yan. How could I have talked to you? If I was too obvious, they would’ve suspected something,” Ruan Yang said innocently.


    “So be it. Do you think it’s that embarrassing to be in a rtionship with me?” Li Shaobin felt aggrieved. “That man tonight must’ve been someone Changqing wanted to introduce you to. She’s been hoping to find a man for you while you’re still an amnesiac so that you can walk out of the shadow of Xin Ziao.”


    “I know. That’s why I chatted with Dr. Zheng asionally when he spoke to me. Otherwise, it would’ve been very embarrassing for Song Chuyi and Changqing. After all, they had kind intentions.” Ruan Yang sighed. She held his hand gently. “I don’t find it embarrassing but a little awkward and I’m a little shy.”


    “You feel shy too?” Li Shaobin nced at the hand she was holding and felt a little better than before. “What’s there to be shy about?”


    “It’s just very weird. It wouldn’t matter if we told them when we’re in ater stage of our rtionship,” Ruan Yang said softly. “Alright, don’t be angry. I don’t like that Dr. Zheng.”


    Li Shaobin felt much more reassured when he heard that, but he was still sour. “That Dr. Zheng looked pretty decent. He looks like some knowledgeable person.”


    “Yeah. He is a knowledgeable person but I don’t like a knowledgeable person right now. I like a triad boss.” Ruan Yang nced at him with her clear eyes.


    Upon hearing that, Li Shaobin’s chest tightened and he heated up. He smiled broadly with his flushed face and said, “I am a triad boss.”


    Ruan Yang smiled. “Yeah.”


    The corners of Li Shaobin’s lips curled up. “That’s true. Isn’t he just an ophthalmologist? What’s the big deal? Is his family background better than mine? Even though he looks refined, is he as handsome as me? Is he richer than me? Is he more powerful than me? Now that you have me, no one is allowed to bully you. Only you’re allowed to bully people.”


    Ruan Yang couldn’t help butugh. She tilted her head and looked at him with gentleness. “Can you now put on your seatbelt?”


    Li Shaobin pouted. “Then you have to kiss me before I do that. Don’t me me for raising conditions. You haven’t kissed me today.”


    Ruan Yang blinked and looked at him for a few seconds. She moved over and didn’t kiss his lips. She kissed his cheek instead.


    “You didn’t kiss me on the lips,” Li Shaobin grumbled softly.


    “Your mouth reeks of alcohol. I don’t like the smell of strong alcohol,” Ruan Yang said honestly.


    “Alright.” Li Shaobin felt resigned to his fate and buckled up obediently. He had decided never to drink hard liquor again.


    Ruan Yang started the car engine again. After driving for a while, Li Shaobin said, “Ruan Yang, if that ophthalmologist contacts you, will you ignore him? I remember that he asked for your number tonight and you gave it to him.”


    “I will hint to him subtly that I’m not interested in him,” Ruan Yang said lightly.
