Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 81: Chapter 81, Fake Boyfriend

Xu Wendong knew that Ding Yao was deliberately acting coquettish in front of him. After a moment of pondering, he said, ”How about I go with you to the blind date after work, and help you get rid of the date?”

Mwah!

Ding Yao gave him a passionate kiss, beaming with joy, ”I knew you wouldn’t let me go on a blind date.”

Xu Wendong laughed dryly, ”I’m not that magnanimous.”

Ding Yao looked exaggeratedly shocked, ”No way, no way, it’s just a blind date, and you can’t handle that?”

”Yes, you belong only to me, only I can have you.” Xu Wendong blushed, not knowing why he had such a strong possessive desire.

Those simple words instantly melted Ding Yao’s heart, making her mouth dry. After all, she hadn’t done that kind of thing with Xu Wendong today, but since she was at work, despite her mind wandering, she had to keep her inner desires under control.

Before they knew it, it was time to get off work. Ding Yao drove Xu Wendong away from the hospital, heading straight to the mall. According to her, Xu Wendong was too young.

Even if he pretended to be her boyfriend, people wouldn’t believe it, so they had to go to the mall to buy a couple of more mature outfits. Even if it was all for show, they had to be serious about it.

After browsing a few brand stores, Ding Yao bought Xu Wendong a formal suit and a tailored blazer. Paired with a dark floral shirt and black leather shoes, he looked talented and dashing, like the domineering CEO in TV dramas.

”Sis, is it necessary to buy such high-end suits?” Xu Wendong muttered weakly. The two outfits cost over five thousand, making them the most expensive clothes he had ever worn in his life.

Ding Yao affectionately hooked his arm, her face full of love, ”If you wear shabby clothes, it reflects poorly on me. Besides, as a man, you should have two decent outfits.”

She glanced at her wrist at the Cartier Blue Balloon wristwatch, ”It’s about time. Let’s head to the upstairs Western restaurant!”

Today’s blind date spot was indeed the Western restaurant upstairs.

”Oh, okay.”

Xu Wendong followed her into the elevator to the Western restaurant. As soon as they entered the restaurant, a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, dignified and refined, with gold-rimmed glasses, stood up and waved towards Ding Yao.

However, upon seeing Ding Yao holding Xu Wendong’s arm, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes; he hadn’t expected Ding Yao to bring a man to the blind date.

Of course, he maintained a faint smile because he wasn’t sure if this man was a relative of Ding Yao’s.

Ding Yao swaggered over, still holding Xu Wendong’s arm.

The man’s face was full of enthusiasm, smiling as he said, ”Hello, Miss Ding, my name is Tao Ze. My mother and your aunt are friends who once worked at the same textile factory. If you recall, we met once five years ago at your aunt’s house.”

Ding Yao apologized, ”Sorry, Mr. Tao, I am a doctor and have to interact with many patients daily. I really have no memory of events from five years ago.”

Tao Ze’s smile froze for a moment, then he said, ”Miss Ding’s busy work schedule makes it normal to forget. As they say, acquaintance comes over time; familiarity breeds affinity.”

”Please have a seat!” he said, making a welcoming gesture.

Once Ding Yao and Xu Wendong were seated, Tao Ze politely asked, ”Who is this young brother?”

Ding Yao introduced, ”His name is Xu Wendong, my boyfriend.”

”Didn’t they say you didn’t have a boyfriend?” Tao Ze felt a strong rush of anger. According to his information, Ding Yao was single on her maternal side and hadn’t had a boyfriend for years.

That’s precisely why he agreed to the blind date with Ding Yao.

But he never expected Ding Yao to bring a boyfriend.

This was simply a slap in his face!

Ding Yao apologized, ”Mr. Tao, Wendong and I only just confirmed our relationship. Then my aunt arranged this blind date, and even though I told her I had a boyfriend, she didn’t believe it.”

”That’s why I brought Wendong today, hoping you could relay this to my aunt. After all, your word holds significant weight with her.”

”Of course, I also acknowledge that my actions today were quite impolite, so to express my apologies, I’ll be covering today’s meal.”

Tao Ze nonchalantly waved it off, smiling as he said, ”Miss Ding, don’t be formal. Even if you came alone, there’s no guarantee we’d fall in love at first sight!”

”Today, let’s consider it as getting to know both Miss Ding and Mister Xu.”

He exuded gentlemanly charm, the kind many girls fantasized about as a prince on a white horse. In the past, Ding Yao might have looked at him twice.

But now, with Xu Wendong, other men appeared ordinary in her eyes, not warranting a second glance.

Tao Ze snapped his fingers, and a waitress brought over the menu. While Ding Yao was ordering, Tao Ze looked at Xu Wendong and politely asked, ”Brother Xu looks young. What do you do for work?”

Xu Wendong knew the other was questioning his identity and wasn’t nervous, ”I’m five years younger than Sister Ding and work at the hospital, like her.”

”So that’s like the early bird catching the worm?” Tao Ze chuckled, then said, ”Which department do you work in? Let’s exchange contact info. My uncle is a big shot at your hospital. If you ever need anything, just give him a call, no promises, but it could save you a lot of hassle.”

Xu Wendong’s expression changed slightly. While it sounded like a kind gesture, he was blatantly flaunting his connections and relationships!

If Xu Wendong exchanged contact info, it would imply he was beneath him.

He smiled and said, ”I appreciate your kind offer, Mr. Tao, but I’m not too concerned with fame and status. I’m quite content with my job as it is.”

Tao Ze adopted a condescending tone, saying, ”Being content is fine, but you shouldn’t be complacent! That mindset is flawed.”

He then smiled slightly, sensing that the relationship between Xu Wendong and Ding Yao might not be as it seemed, likely making him a decoy.

However, he didn’t reveal it and continued calmly, ”You’re a man. It’s one thing not to have a girlfriend, but now that you do, you must consider her.”

”Imagine if you could climb higher at the hospital, wouldn’t Miss Ding feel more respected? Wouldn’t others admire her more?”

”Take my case; I’m thirty years old. While my rank at the precinct isn’t too high, I’ve risen to a section chief.”

”That rank granted my mom a lot of respect. That’s the benefit of status. Don’t you want to elevate yours?”

Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask, ”Section chief or deputy chief?”

Tao Ze countered, ”Does it matter?”

”Of course it does!” Xu Wendong grinned, ”A thirty-year-old section chief is impressive, but thirty-year-old deputy chiefs are common.”

”Is Mr. Tao a section chief or a deputy chief?”
