Chapter 92: Xu Manli's Weirdness

  Seeing the familiar red sports car outside the clinic, Wu Rui was slightly stunned, but still put down the book in his hand and walked out.

  It's been a few days since I've seen Xu Manli, and the change in her is huge. Gone are her usual carefree and arrogant ways, and she seems to have become much more subdued. A black evening gown sets off the woman in the car, making her look noble and sexy. When Wu Rui comes out, she just gives a calm smile and says, "Let's go for a walk!"

  "......Alright!" Wu Rui didn't say much more and directly opened the car door and got in.

  "Vroom......" The sports car started slowly, but it was no longer as fiery and impulsive as before. Instead, it drove at a steady speed, very slow and calm, making the space inside feel even more oppressive.

  However, Xu Manli remained silent, quietly driving the car, while Wu Rui also didn't speak, gazing out at the scenery. The car continued to move quietly along the road, seemingly out of place in this bustling city.

  Supreme Club

  The sports car stopped in front of a magnificent building, and Wu Rui got out of the car with his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He was no longer the naive young man he used to be, and he naturally knew what this place was - a legendary nightclub. He hadn't expected Xu Manli to bring him to such a place.

  "Although your medical skills are unparalleled, you're still young, don't suffocate yourself like an old man, relax a bit, and don't let worldly views constrain you. Besides, nightclubs may be chaotic, but they're not as dirty as people imagine." Xu Manli noticed Wu Rui's disgust, but didn't mind, and only whispered a sentence in his ear.

  Originally, Wu Rui's heart was indeed somewhat resistant, but after hearing her words, his mood fluctuated and he relaxed both physically and mentally! Well, whether it's a nightclub or a brothel, since everyone can come, why can't Wu Rui?

  Xu Manli smiled slightly and reached out to grab Wu Rui's arm, pulling him along as she walked inside.

  "Welcome, Miss Xue, to our Supreme Club. Please, both of you, come in." A sharp-eyed manager recognized Xu Manli's identity and led the two inside with a humble attitude after giving Wu Rui a strange glance.

  Rumble...

  As I stepped into the club's hall, the energetic DJ music hit me immediately. A sexy DJ was dancing on the stage, her loud voice driving the crowd wild. The men and women were all shaking their bodies, letting go of all inhibitions, as if releasing the pent-up frustrations in their hearts.

  Around the stage, elegantly decorated bars, leisure tables and chairs, people drinking and chatting freely, laughter, clinking glasses, and conversations blending together, a lively and bustling scene.

  Wu Rui didn't feel disgusted, instead he saw the fall, saw the decay, but didn't see hypocrisy. The people here weren't wearing any disguise, each one showing their most genuine side. Even the melodic heavy metal music made his cells dance along with it.

  Under the leadership of the manager, Wu Rui and Xu Manli sat down face to face in a double-person elegant seat. She also ordered a bottle of red wine and personally poured a glass for Wu Rui when the waiter brought it over: "Everyone says this wine is very precious, delicious, and a symbol of nobility, you try some too."

  Wu Rui picked up the high-footed cup and took a sip, it was somewhat bitter and slightly sweet, not likable nor detestable. Wu Rui finally just gave a faint evaluation: "It's okay."

  "Hehe." Xuman Li smiled and didn't say anything, she just raised her high-heeled cup, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. The unspeakable nobility and elegance, perhaps this is what they call aristocracy. Although some people don't think so, Wu Rui couldn't help but admit that it really looked good.

  "Wouldn't you like to invite me to dance?" Xu Manli put down her wine glass and gazed at Wu Rui with her round eyes.

  "Hmm... I won't!" Wu Rui shook his head with a bitter smile. Compared to her current gentleness, he was more used to the former fiery and impulsive Xu Jie, although she was somewhat arrogant and unlikable, at least she wasn't as strange as she was now, making him wonder what she was thinking.

  "It's okay, just follow me." Xu Manli, however, was undeterred and led Wu Rui to the dance floor, placing her hand on his neck and resting her head almost on his chest, gently swaying her body.

  Wu Rui's body was initially a bit stiff, but he eventually relaxed and gently placed his hands on her waist, swaying from side to side with her footsteps. However, in his heart, he remained unusually calm. To Xu Manli, he only regarded her as his friend, past and present, never having any other thoughts about her.

  At this moment, such an atmosphere made him somewhat embarrassed, and he could only take the initiative to say: "A few days ago I..."

  "Let's just forget about it and move on!" Xu Manli covered Wu Rui's mouth with her hand, seemingly not wanting to bring up the past again.

  "Hmm..." Wu Rui smiled awkwardly, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the other person's gentle affection, and continued to find a topic to talk about: "Will you come back to the clinic in the future?"

  "Without me, you can still run the clinic well, although temporarily earning a little less, but I believe it will be very good in the future." Xu Manli gently shook her head. In these days, she had already figured it out. The Shen Nong Clinic was now on the right track, and she didn't need to join in this excitement, although she hoped to borrow Wu Rui's influence, but she wasn't a thick-skinned person.

  Rather than being like that, it's better to let go, but it's just a shattered ideal, with a somewhat empty feeling.

  "Actually..." Wu Rui still wanted to say something.

  "I've really made up my mind, don't be troubled about it. Nowadays, the Shen Nong Clinic is famous because of you, and patients are coming in droves, including officials and nobles. I shouldn't continue to take a share of the profits that don't belong to me. If you want me to stay, I wouldn't have the face to split the money." Xu Manli continued shaking her head, her attitude very resolute.

  Look at Wu Rui, Xu Manli glared at him with a bad temper and said: "How can you be so boring? We agreed to come out and play, but what are you talking about business for? Can't you just relax?"

  Relaxing isn't bad, it's just that your behavior today is really strange, so strange that it makes his heart skip a beat... Wu Rui thought to himself, but he wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud, and only dryly laughed and said: "Good."

  As they continued to dance, Xu Manli's body was almost entirely leaning on Wu Rui's, looking like a pair of infatuated lovers. However, unbeknownst to her, Wu Rui was filled with bitter feelings, yet he couldn't bring himself to push her away, making the situation rather awkward.

  "Didn't you think I'm being weird today?" Xu Manli suddenly whispered in Wu Rui's ear, her enchanting lips with light lip gloss almost touching his ear, and Wu Rui could even smell the faint scent of her lipstick.

  Before Wu Rui could speak, Xu Manli said to herself: "In two days, I'll be getting married to a man I don't like and have no feelings for."
