Shen Manting almost fell when she heard that. After all, she was a young girl. No matter how calm and collected she was, she couldnât discuss that kind of problem without changing her expression. She poked Qin Yueshuâs head and said, âThis is the adultsâ business. Youâre just a little girl. Donât ask too much! â
âYouâre clearly younger than me, Ms. Director! â Although Qin Yueshu said that, she didnât want to let Shen Manting off. She pulled on Shen Mantingâs sleeve and whined, âTell me. Iâm already 20. Iâm not a little girl anymore⦠â
âNothing happened! â Shen Manting answered exasperatedly.
âAh? How could that be possible? â Qin Yueshuâs eyes widened. âIs Xue Chenkongâs health not good? â
Shen Manting couldnât help but roll her eyes. Did he look like he had a problem? Although nothing had happened last night, the Xue Chenkong in her nightmare was extremely aggressive.
At that thought, Shen Manting had a reddened face. She stopped her train of thought from straying further and further. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Get to work. â
âManting, why did you come to the hospital today? â A low voice came from the door. âWhat are you guys talking about? â
âManxun! â Shen Manting immediately smiled when she saw who it was. âI was just chatting with Yueshu. â However, as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Manting realized that Qin Yueshu, the instigator, had already slipped away.
Shen Mantingâs second brother, Shen Manxun, was 30 years old that year. He was handsome and had a gentle and elegant temperament. He was currently a medical professor teaching at a medical school. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his fair face, he was one to captivate whomever he stared at.
Shen Manxun thought of what he had just heard, and a blush flashed across his handsome face. âManting, I actually heard everything just now. Stay calm. Remember what I do for a living. Iâll head back earlier tonight, and weâll think of a solution together! â
âManxun, what are you saying? â Shen Manting was confused.
Shen Manxunâs cold eyes were filled with determination. âWe can discuss Chenkongâs health condition together⦠â
However, before Shen Manxun could finish speaking, Shen Manting covered her mouth.
âManxun, youâve really misunderstood, â Shen Manting said, blushing.
However, no matter what Shen Manting said, Shen Manxun felt that she was just being stubborn and pretending to be strong because she was embarrassed. âDonât worry. Leave this to me. Iâll have a good talk with him. â
When Shen Manting heard that her second brother even wanted to have a talk with Xue Chenkong, she immediately gasped and put on a smile that was uglier than a crying face. âI already said it was a misunderstanding, so donât look for him. Yueshu was talking nonsense. â
Shen Manxun didnât say anything, as if he didntâ need further explanation. He patted Shen Mantingâs shoulder heavily. âManting, ask Chenkong to come back to the Shen residence tonight. â
Shen Manting watched Shen Manxunâs back as he left. A bad feeling welled up in her heart. âItâs not like that⦠â she thought.
As soon as Shen Manxun walked out, he saw Qin Yueshu, who had just returned after slipping away. The two of them looked at each other, and Qin Yueshu subconsciously trembled in fear. She took out the book in her arms and covered her face. At the same time, she muttered in her heart, âHeâs blind. He canât see me. He canât see me⦠â
Shen Manxun reached out to grab the book flipped upside down on her face and straightened it. He then uttered in a cold tone, âQin Yueshu, Iâve read your thesis. Come to my office tomorrow. â
Qin Yueshu regretted returning. However, what she thought was completely different from reality. She awkwardly put away the book and pretended to be surprised. âWow! Itâs Professor Shen. What a coincidence. Why did you come to the hospital today? â
âDonât be late tomorrow. â Shen Manxun looked at the embarrassed girl with a cold expression. However, as he left, he couldnât help but smile.
Qin Yueshu looked at the disappearing figure and couldnât help but reveal an infatuated expression. âYour second brother is so handsome and so cold. Heâs simply a Prince Charming in my aesthetic point of view. â
Shen Manting looked at her second brother, who was walking away, then at Qin Yueshu, whose eyes were filled with love. She said meaningfully, âYou like my second brother? â
âWho said so? ! â Qin Yueshu covered her face shyly.
Shen Manting couldnât help but remind her, âMy second brotherâs personality is the coldest. If you want to chase him, youâll have to rack your brain. â
Qin Yueshu pursed her lips. âItâs best if he has a cold personality. I donât really want to pursue him. I just like seeing his handsome face. â
Shen Manting was speechless.
At 11:30 a.m, Xue Chenkong arrived at the hospital with the promised lunch box. He usually just waited downstairs for Ah Ting to get off work, and it was the first time he was heading upstairs. âAh Ting, Iâm here. Where are you? â
