Chapter 425: Duan Lang: Although Unrestrained, He’s a Gentleman
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Old Master Fu’s birthday banquet was right in sight. Even Duan Linbai, who had been far away demolishing houses in the new district, returned.

Although Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi had yet to get their marriage certificate, they were already driving on the road. Logically speaking, they should be treating people to a meal. Duan Linbai had returned two days before Old Master Fu’s birthday banquet, and the meal time was set for the same night. The venue was at a certain hotel, and the address of the private room had already been sent over.
Duan Linbai was complaining to Fu Chen on the phone.
“…Third Fu, you don’t even know. Some demolition households are simply asking too much. Do they really think their houses are built of gold? They want a house, a shop, and money?
“A few days ago, I went to visit a family and was almost hit with a hoe. Do you think it’s easy for me?
“They’re so messy. Last time, I almost got my foot pierced by a nail. Just in case, I still got a tetanus shot. I’ve lost so much weight in a few days!”
…
A few days ago, Fu Chen had heard from Song Fengwan that she was watching a TV drama. At this moment, she was sitting in the living room watching the drama.
“Third Fu, you have to f*cking nourish me!” Duan Linbai shouted. “I didn’t even get to see Little Sister-in-Law’s drama. Even an old zombie like Jing Hanchuan came out of his coffin. I know how exciting it was just by watching the live broadcast. I really suffered a big loss this time.”

“That’s why I asked you to buy more personal insurance.” Fu Chen chuckled.
“F*ck you! Are you taking Little Sister-in-Law for the dinner tonight?”
“Yes.”
“The Qiao family are there. How are you going to bring her out?” Everyone knew that the Qiao family was ruthless.
“Miss Yu will pick her up.”

“Crafty!”
Duan Linbai’s phone vibrated. “My mom is calling. I’m hanging up now.”
Fu Chen responded, and the calle ended.
Duan Linbai coughed twice. “Hey, Mom!”
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)“When will you be home? I helped you arrange a follow-up examination for your eyes with the professor at the Medical University.”
Duan Linbai had been wandering around the demolition site recently, and his eyes were tearing up due to the wind. The Duan family was afraid that something would happen to his eyes again, so they had helped him arrange an appointment with the professor.
“I’ll be there soon.”
Duan Linbai suddenly thought of Xu Jiamu and immediately became interested…
Upon returning home, he put down his luggage and took a shower. He was already as good-looking as peach blossoms in spring, and he even specially dressed up, claiming that he wanted to wash away his bad luck.
“Linbai, you’re just going to get your eyes checked. Why did you dress up and style your hair?” His mother placed his medical report and other things in a bag. Seeing that his room wasn’t closed, she pushed the door open and entered. She saw a certain someone standing in front of the mirror while holding a hairdryer in one hand and combing his hair.
“I definitely have to dry my hair after washing it. It’s so cold outside. What if I catch a cold?” Duan Linbai turned off the hairdryer and even brushed his hair a few times in front of the mirror.
Mother Duan frowned. He demolished houses and was cursed at by old people, yet he’s already so unrestrained after returning.
Why is he dressed so flamboyantly for going to see the doctor?
“Can’t you dress a little more formally?”
“What do you mean by formal? It’s fine like this.” The Duan parents were both the only child of their families, and Duan Linbai was their only child. The elders doted on him, so he lived very freely and wilfully.
In his grandmother’s words, “As long as the child is happy, there’s no need to restrain him.”
When he was a child, they didn’t restrain him much. So when he grew up, he couldn’t control himself and let himself go every day.
His mother opened his closet and saw the colorful clothes and even some slightly improper and bizarre ones. The corners of her mouth twitched. I really can’t expect too much from him.
“Ms. Lin, it’s time for me to go. Goodbye, Mooch~” Duan Linbai grabbed the bag with the medical record and even blew her a kiss.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Why does this child never grow up?
***
Duan Linbai drove a flashy red sports car all the way to the ophthalmology laboratory building of Beijing University Medical College. From afar, he saw the person standing at the door on the second floor.
Hearing the roar of the car engine, Xu Jiamu looked down and saw Duan Linbai getting out of his car.
Why is he here?
She didn’t forget the scene where she was caught using him singing ‘Conquer’ as her phone ringtone. She lowered her head and didn’t look at him.
Duan Linbai was amused. Oh my—isn’t this fat piece of meat delivering herself to my doorstep?
He fiddled with his car key and ran straight to the second floor.
She was standing on the second floor, and there was a railing blocking her, so Duan Linbai hadn’t seen what she was wearing clearly. When he saw her outfit, he frowned slightly.
This skirt is too short.
She wasn’t wearing a white lab coat. She was wearing a simple white shirt, a black skirt, and slender black high heels. It was late autumn, and there was a chill in the air. But she was only wearing a thin pair of flesh-colored stockings on her legs, and she shivered from the cold. Her knitted jacket was too short to cover anything.
Duan Linbai could tell at a glance that this might be a work uniform. When he thought of her family’s situation, he understood.
“The professor isn’t here?” Duan Linbai walked over, but he was sizing her up from the corner of his eye.
Her hair was tied up meticulously, revealing her fair and thin neck. Perhaps because she was cold, her lips were slightly purple, but her facial features were still fresh and beautiful.
“He’s having a meeting inside. You’ll have to wait for a while.” Xu Jiamu coughed unnaturally.
Duan Linbai was just about to settle the score with her. Why does she always like to hang up on me? But before he could speak, the laboratory door opened, and a few students and professors walked out. They were all surprised to see Duan Linbai.
“Go in.” Xu Jiamu motioned for him to follow her in. “Professor, Young Master Duan is here.”
The old professor had just taken off his glasses and pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Have a seat first. Tell me how your eyes are feeling recently. Do they tear up in the wind?”
“Yes, it’s not very comfortable before going to bed at night.”
Duan Linbai was a guest, so the professor naturally took care of him first. Xu Jiamu sat at the side and waited. Because her skirt was too short, it was extremely awkward when she sat down. Her hands kept holding her skirt down. She took a book and placed it on her lap but still felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, there were still some male students in the laboratory. Perhaps because they had never seen her dressed like this before, they looked at her from time to time.
“Let me take a look at your medical record first.” The old professor put on his glasses and started flipping through Duan Linbai’s medical record.
Duan Linbai bit his lip, took off his jacket, and threw it on her lap.
Xu Jiamu was stunned. She looked down at the jacket. When she looked up and was about to decline, a certain someone leaned over to talk to the old professor.
She pulled Duan Linbai’s jacket over her legs. There was a clean and refreshing wood fragrance on the jacket, and it still retained the warmth of his body. It wrapped around her legs, and bits of heat seeped into her body, warming her up and helping her avoid embarrassment.
She worked part-time in a hotel, and she had just finished her shift. Before she reached her dorm room, she received a call from the professor. She hurried back to get her paper and ran to the laboratory building. She was so anxious that she forgot to change her clothes and didn’t even put on a long coat.
She just didn’t expect that the first person to help her resolve her awkward situation would be Duan Linbai.
He looked unrestrained, but he was actually quite a gentleman.
“… I told you before that when your eyes recover, don’t stay up late, remember to rest, and pay attention to your diet. Did you not listen to me?” the old professor asked.
“I…” Duan Linbai coughed twice. Ever since his eyes regained their vision, he had indeed been as unrestrained as before.
He had been busy with work recently and hadn’t gone out to drink or go to bars, but he didn’t sleep until midnight either. He didn’t take the medical advice seriously at all.
“You can’t be like this. Your body is your own. You have to listen to what I say. I’ll prescribe you some eye drops. If your eyes feel uncomfortable, drip it. You can buy this medicine at the pharmacy.” The professor sighed. Ahh, young people nowadays just don’t listen to old people.
“The pharmacy has it?” Duan Linbai was speechless.
“Yes. When you go back, don’t let your eyes get too tired.”
“Got it,” Duan Linbai replied straightforwardly.
He took the prescription slip from the old professor and turned to leave.
Xu Jiamu hurriedly chased after him to return his jacket. “Young Master Duan, your jacket!”
Duan Linbai turned around to look at her and said very casually, “You can wear it.”
Xu Jiamu clutched the jacket tightly and watched Duan Linbai get into his car and leave.
Duan Linbai sat in the car. When he saw Xu Jiamu standing by the window on the second floor, he suddenly recalled the suave and handsome he looked when he threw her his jacket…
Disregarding their past enmity, disregarding the fact that this woman had beaten him, he had helped her out.
F*ck, I must have been super handsome then.

Duan Linbai was happily driving to the pharmacy when he suddenly sneezed continuously.
F*ck, am I going to catch a cold after acting cool and flirting? The weather in the capital is really cold.
In fact, Xu Jiamu was really grateful to Duan Linbai for helping her out of her situation. But the jacket was still in her hands…
This person won’t call me in the middle of the night to sing ‘Conquest’ again, will he? Or will he find trouble with me again?
