"Would you like to dance?" Yao Fei stood there and extended his hand to Li Wei.

Li was slightly startled. Time seemed to go back to the summer seven years ago. A young man also extended his hand to her and invited her to dance. She did not refuse the boy's invitation. At that time, her movements were jerky and she even sprained her foot.

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is no news of the young man from back then, but he has left traces in Li Wei's heart that will never disappear.

Li Wei handed over her hand, and Yao Fei held her in his arms like a gentleman. The two of them walked gently to the center of the lawn, dancing slowly to the accompaniment of music.

Li Jianbo was talking to Bian Ling, but Bian Ling suddenly pointed at the two people who were dancing vigorously and said to Li Jianbo: "Doctor Li, look, are Dr. Yao and your sister a perfect match?"

Li Jianbo looked over. He didn't care at all about how the two of them cooperated or how they danced, but his eyes were fixed on Yao Fei's hand. Under his nose, Li Jianbo didn't want anyone to bully Li Wei.

"Dr. Yao is a very good young man with good medical skills and an upright person. I heard that he will be promoted at the end of the year. He has a bright future and is a reliable person."

Li Jianbo didn't listen to a word of Bian Ling's praise. Bian Ling then whispered in his ear: "I heard that Dr. Yao's father is a successful businessman and owns a listed company. He can be said to be the second generation of rich people. But Look at how he looks like a second-generation rich man. There aren’t many young people like him who are down-to-earth anymore.”

Damn it, Yao Fei actually wanted to take advantage of the situation. Li Jianbo walked over with a livid face, interrupting the dance between the two. He grabbed Yao Fei's wrist with one hand and warned: "Yao Fei, please show some respect to me!"

When Li Jianbo roared like this, everyone present was stunned, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Doctor Tong and Nurse Han looked at each other and said, "What happened?"

Nurse Han said: "Go over and pull them apart. It won't matter if they start fighting."

Doctor Tong stepped forward and said with a smile: "What's going on? Let's go over and have a few drinks. We have never sat together and drank together."

Doctor Tong pulled the two away and stopped Li Jianbo's recklessness in time. Li Wei crossed her arms, thinking that Yao Fei was really going to attack her? She didn't feel anything herself.

Bian Ling's face was full of surprise, and she secretly thought that Li Jianbo was crazy. He is still the host tonight, does he want to break up on bad terms? This Li Jianbo seems to care about his sister a little too much.

Doctor Tong went back and forth to make peace, and the atmosphere between the two relaxed a little. In the end, Yao Fei took the initiative to toast Li Jianbo with a glass of wine: "My behavior was a bit reckless before, please forgive Dr. Li."

"Excuse me? I'm just a little sister. If anyone dares to bully her, I will be the first to refuse." Li Jianbo said every word, making Yao Fei a little embarrassed.

Even Dr. Tong was wondering if Li Jianbo had gone too far. Yao Fei finally woke up completely. If he wanted to win Li Wei's favor, the first hurdle he had to pass was Li Jianbo.

Bian Ling came over and pulled Li Jianbo away. With a straight face, he scolded him seriously: "Li Jianbo, your behavior is a bit too much. It embarrasses Dr. Yao, and Dr. Yao didn't do anything extraordinary to Li Wei." It’s a matter of fact. We are all colleagues. If you make trouble like this, how can we get along with each other in the future? Do you still need to cooperate with us at work?”

"Okay, I'll take care of my sister, it's not your turn to educate me." Li Jianbo blamed Bian Ling for talking too much.

"Li Jianbo, you are not the kind of person who cares and cares. Li Wei is not a teenage girl who is ignorant of the world and needs your protection? She is an adult, so you should give her some space. Others will not behave like you. You know, you look like a pervert."

Li Jianbo seemed to wake up a little after Bian Ling said this, and he looked at his sister. My sister is completely an adult now, and is no longer the little girl who completely needed his protection. Ten years have passed. Li Jianbo has been absent from Li Wei's growth during these ten years. He can no longer treat his sister like a little girl.

Li Jianbo still listened to some of Bian Ling's words. He lowered his head and said, "What you said makes sense."

Seeing that Li Jianbo's mood had calmed down, Bian Ling took the opportunity to ask, "Dr. Li, can we go in and have a nice chat?"

Li Jianbo wondered what they could talk about between them, but he did not refuse Bian Ling's request, nodded and walked forward.

The two entered the house one after another. Li Jianbo did not invite Bian Ling to sit in the living room upstairs. After entering the house, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, but his eyes were fixed on the lawn. He knew that his duty was to protect his sister. He didn't want anyone to cause any harm to his sister. Li Wei's figure was everywhere he looked.

Bian Ling came to his side gently.

"Dr. Li, do you still remember the first day you came to the hospital for an interview?"

Li Jianbo couldn't understand why Bian Ling suddenly spoke to him like this. He was stunned, still looking at the scene outside.

"You were not well prepared that day, and your performance among the interviewers was mediocre, but my father took a fancy to your overseas qualifications and rigorous academic attitude. That day you wore a tan suit and A dark blue twill tie. The bag in my hand is from Prada, which happens to be my favorite brand. I passed by you three times that day just to impress you. But after you joined the company, you still didn’t. Remember me."

Li Jianbo said apologetically: "Sorry, I, a woman, don't pay special attention to anything except patients."

Bian Ling smiled and said: "It's really interesting, but you don't know that you officially entered my heart when you came for the interview. I once thought that I would never fall in love with anyone in my life, but I didn't expect you to show up. Dr. Li, I like you very much."

Bian Ling's sudden confession finally made Li Jianbo look at her, and Bian Ling's jade-white face was quietly blushing at this moment. The black and white eyes stared at him blankly, full of tenderness and sweet words. This moment was probably Bian Ling's most tender moment.

Li Jianbo was stunned for a few seconds. When he was a boy, there seemed to be a girl who blushed and poured out her love to him in the woods. He couldn't remember the girl's name, but the blush on her face and the tenderness in her eyes seemed exactly the same as what he saw in front of her.

Time stopped spinning at this moment, as if a century had passed. Li Jianbo had already made a decision. He bowed to Bian Ling sincerely: "I'm sorry, I can't respond to your feelings."

Bian Ling watched him bow to her. It turned out that he could be so solemn when rejecting someone. It was indeed his style. Bian Ling suddenly laughed, with a bitter look on his face.
