The Doctor Who Loves Me - Chapter 521

The next morning Cali could not even dare to look Rui straight in the eye after that passionate and intimate dream with the man whose voice was like his. Though she did not even know who the man was but for some reason she felt shy and was almost blushing when she saw her handsome doctor bringing breakfast for her on the table.

She was so quiet during breakfast that Rui started suspecting that something was wrong. He felt it strange, when Cali was quiet all throughout the way to school and even didn’t look into his eyes even once since morning. When they arrived at the school, she quickly picked her bag up and opened the door to her side.

“I’ll go first.” Cali whispered but Rui held her arm and stopped her from going out of the car. Cali’s nerves suddenly jolted by his touch and she silently wished she could run away from him as soon as possible.

“Wait. Are you alright?” He asked.

Cali gave him a half smile and said, “Yeah I’m good.”

Rui was doubtful by the way she answered but nodded. Cali already left to go inside the building while he still remained seated inside the car.

Yesterday, he seemed to successfully convince Cali about him having a disorder and getting uncomfortable around a crowd. But what bothered him now was how he would possibly fence Cali from those boys lingering around her, buzzing around her like bees, that Edward for example.

He was thinking of ways how he and Cali could be considered in a relationship by other people without her getting pissed off.

“Maybe I should tell her that dad wants to set me up for an arranged marriage but I don’t want to get married right now, then I’ll ask Cali for help and ask her to pretend as my girlfriend.” He whispered but dropped his shoulders because it was unnecessary to pretend inside the school when he had no family inside.

He needed Cali and himself to be known as a couple at school so it could prevent possible suitors from approaching his wife.

“Maybe I should call Xander later, and ask for his helpr.” Rui mumbled as he finally got out of the car. When it came to cunningness and ways to get around women, Xander was actually more of an expert than him, especially in coaxing.

He had just entered their room for a new subject about studies of different plants, herbs and more when he saw Edward already sitting beside Cali. He was all smiles as he enthusiastically talked to his wife!

The mere sight made Rui’s eyes bleed. With an annoyed expression on his face, Rui went and sat behind Cali.

“Cali, can I borrow a pen?” Rui bent forward and asked, intentionally disrupting their conversation.

Cali turned to him and introduced Edward to him.

“You two know each other?” Edward asked.

“Yeah, she lives with me.” Rui answered straightforwardly, making Cali narrow her eyes at him.

Cali flashed a timid smile at Edward while she explained, “He’s a family friend and my grandpa happens to trust him so much that wanted me to stay in his house instead of mine. You see, I also have a medical condition and he just happens to be my private doctor as well.”

‘I thought she wanted to keep that detail about her condition and me being her doctor a secret!’ Rui inwardly complained and mused with collided eyebrows. He could not believe what he was hearing and also what he was seeing, Cali was smiling widely at that man! It was an extremely annoying scene for him!

He could sense that Edward was good with communication. He seemed to be a very approachable man and that Cali instantly got comfortable with him.

Rui’s face was worthy of being made into a painting as he was so focused, and all ears about what the two in front of him were talking about. He would occasionally interrupt the conversation whenever he had the opportunity.

He looked at his wristwatch and cursed the professor of this subject for being late to the class and giving Cali and Edward this opportunity. Instead of paying attention to the lecture these two were engaged in talking about various other things.

‘This isn’t going to be good!’ Rui mused, annoyed.

He finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw a woman enter the room who he presumed to be the professor.

His eyes rounded as he blinked several times, checking his vision looking at the woman who was headed towards her table and seat near the screen.

“Candice?” He murmured, his face pale.

Edward heard him and so he turned back to look at him and asked, “You know her doc?”

“Call me Rui! Only Cali is allowed to call me by that name!” Rui grunted.

Edward scratched his head, a little confused and murmured, “but I heard Ruth calling you doc as well.”

Rui’s eyebrows raised and said, “only females can address me like that! Call me Rui.”

Cali chuckled, enjoying the grumpy mood of her private doctor. It seemed like he was not fond of Edward. She wondered why though, because Edward seemed to be nice.

“Good morning. Wow! I have a small group here. Good thing, cause this means I can easily remember your names.

By the way I’m professor Candice Yao and I will handle this particular subject about the plants we can all use for cooking and the benefits of each and whether some of them could also be harmful to the human body.

Cooking is a very important skill and using proper and beneficial ingredients will make it even better.”

Rui looked at Candice, flabbergasted. Last time he recalled Candice, was as a strip dancer at a club in Country V then she turned out to be a pediatrician at country D and now a professor here at country A?

‘Seriously?! What are you up to now, woman?!’ Rui silently wondered.

Their eyes met and Rui gulped at that familiar mischievous smile of her. She obviously recognized him and Cali. He only hoped Candice would not bully him this time around.

Cali frowned when she noticed how the new professor and Rui were exchanging glances. She also heard Rui mention her name so she assumed that the two knew each other. The woman was extremely beautiful and Cali knew that every male inside the room was obviously drooling over her except for Edward and Rui.

‘But they are exchanging glances!’ Cali silently complained pertaining to Rui. She suddenly felt irritated and annoyed.
