After her dramatic cousin stopped acting up, the aloof doctor got anxious.

Chapter 53 I'm afraid you'll be unhappy

The dishes are here.

Wei Jing picked up a piece of fish head with his chopsticks.

He put it in his mouth, nodded slightly, and said, "It tastes good."

A few seconds later, he gulped down ice water, sweat beading on his forehead and his lips turning bright red.

"W-Wait, there's no chili in this?"

The waiter said innocently, "I didn't put anything in, but the pot was spicy and couldn't be washed clean."

Wei Jing: "..."

He picked up another shrimp.

Even spicier.

The pot was spicy, the oil was spicy, and even the air was spicy.

He kept drinking ice water, one glass after another.

Zhou Lan kicked Shen Ruo, her shoulders shaking as she tried to suppress her laughter.

Shen Ruoheng glanced at her.

Don't gloat.

Then he gestured to Zhou Lan with his eyes.

Go and show him some concern.

me?

if not?

Row.

She took out a tissue and handed it to him, "Vice Dean Wei, would you like to wipe your sweat?"

Wei Jing took it, his hands trembling.

"Th-thank you..."

"Don't force yourself if you can't eat spicy food; your health is the most important thing."

Wei Jing looked at her and suddenly felt something.

This girl seems quite thoughtful and gentle.

……

When Qi Wenshen returned home, the entrance hall was filled with the aroma of food.

Shen Yulan is setting the table.

After returning from her trip, she took over the cooking herself.

Seeing that he was alone, Shen Yulan put down her chopsticks. "Where's Ruoruo?"

"I have dinner plans, I'll be back later."

Shen Yulan's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately asked, "Male or female?"

Qi Wenshen took off his coat without saying a word.

Shen Yulan slapped him impatiently, "I'm asking you a question, man or woman?"

"Male."

"A man?"

After her initial surprise, Shen Yulan burst into laughter.

She grabbed her son's sleeve, "You've already introduced a boyfriend to Ruoruo so quickly?"

"Which friend of yours?"

How old are you?

"How are things at home?"

"Do you own a house? Do you own a car?"

What do your parents do?

Qi Wenshen felt frustrated listening to his mother's barrage of questions.

"He's not my boyfriend."

"We're just colleagues, we have something to talk about."

Shen Yulan pouted.

"Colleagues can talk about things during work hours; why do they need to discuss them after get off work?"

She waved her hand, "I'll ask Ruoruo myself when she gets back."

Qi Wenshen: "..."

……

Aside from picking up the fish head and shrimp at the beginning, Wei Jing didn't pick up any other dishes. Oh, and he also ate a bowl of white rice.

Feeling apologetic, Shen Ruo twisted the napkin between her fingers. "Vice Dean Wei, would you like to eat something else?"

"Need not."

He was weak and listless.

"How about something sweet? There's a coffee shop next door."

"……OK."

Zhou Lan naturally followed along.

Wei Jing originally disliked her traveling with him.

but,

"Vice Dean Wei, what brand is your suit? It looks very elegant."

Armani.

"Oh my, no wonder, you look like a model in this."

"..."

"Your watch is beautiful, a Patek Philippe?"

"Um."

"I admire men with good taste."

Wei Jing was flattered by the praise, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

The two found themselves having more and more to talk about.

They talked about watches, then wine, then travel, and so on.

Shen Ruo held her coffee, wondering how best to start the conversation.

Zhou Lan took a moment to give him a light kick.

What are you waiting for?

Strike while the iron is hot!

Shen Ruo then spoke directly, "Vice Dean Wei, the reason I invited you to dinner today is because I need your help with something."

Wei Jing's face was full of complex emotions.

"you say."

Shen Ruo explained Chen Lele's situation.

After listening, Wei Jing remained silent for a moment.

"Shen Ruo, if you didn't need something from me, you wouldn't have asked me out to dinner, right?"

Wei Jing spoke with a bittersweet self-deprecation.

Shen Ruo nodded honestly, "Yes."

The answer was obtained.

His bitter smile deepened.

Shen Ruo's heart skipped a beat.

It’s over.

Not happy?

Is Lele's relief fund going to be cut short?

Zhou Lan frantically winked at him from the side.

What are you thinking about?

Let's get him to sign first!

Shen Ruo ignored her.

If you don't like someone, you should make it clear.

Deceiving and coaxing only hurts people more.

She bit her lip. "Vice Dean Wei, if you feel uncomfortable..."

"I'll talk to the medical affairs department and ask them to expedite the process. You can pick up the application form from my office tomorrow morning, fill it out, and hand it to me. It will be approved tomorrow."

"what?"

"I said, approve the relief fund for Chen Lele tomorrow."

Shen Ruo was overjoyed, "Really?"

"real."

"Thank you, Vice Dean Wei."

Zhou Lan, standing to the side, narrowed her eyes.

It was like discovering a new continent.

Does Wei Jing, this wolf in sheep's clothing, have another side?

Why would you help someone after being rejected?

Zhou Lan looked at Wei Jing, holding her coffee to her lips for a long time without touching it.

Shen Ruo's phone vibrated.

Information about Qi Wenshen.

Have you finished eating? I've arrived.

Shen Ruo: [Coming out right away.]

Shen Ruochong, Wei Jing, and Zhou Lan waved goodbye, "My cousin is here to pick me up, I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

"Why……"

Zhou Lan reached out, but couldn't stop him.

Shen Ruo was deliberately creating an opportunity for the two of them, pretending not to hear Zhou Lan's cries.

Zhou Lan and Wei Jing were left staring at each other.

An awkward silence fell.

……

Qi Wenshen leaned against the car, his black shirt clinging to his waist in the wind.

Shen Ruo ran out, saw him, and stopped in her tracks.

How do you know I'm full?

"Just a guess."

He opened the car door.

Shen Ruo crawled inside, but before she could even sit down properly, he pulled her over.

kiss.

It wasn't a fleeting kiss; it was a punitive, deep kiss.

"Cousin, someone's watching..."

"Let them see."

He stepped back, his thumb brushing against the corner of her lips.

"You're unhappy that I invited Wei Jing to dinner?"

His eyes were deep and somber. "Yes, I'm not happy."

"Then why didn't you stop me?"

I'm afraid you'll be unhappy.

"..."

Shen Ruo had no choice but to tell Lele about it again.

"Wei Jing approved it, tomorrow."

A few seconds later, Qi Wenshen said, "Next time something like this happens, don't invite him to dinner. You come to me, and I'll go find him."

"it is good."

……

In the coffee shop, Wei Jing and Zhou Lan stood frozen for five minutes.

Zhou Lan suddenly pulled two movie tickets out of her bag.

She sighed, like an abandoned cat, "I had planned to see a movie with Shen Ruo, but she went back home, and now there's no one to go with me..."

alone.

Silence.

Poor thing.

Wei Jing looked at Zhou Lan.

I discovered that although she wasn't stunning at first glance, she grew more beautiful the more I looked at her, and something inside me was touched.

He blurted out, "Anyway, it's still early, and I... I'm not too busy. How about I go with you?"

Zhou Lan was secretly delighted.

Volunteers take the bait.

She hesitated, though, "What if your girlfriend sees this? Won't she misunderstand?"

"I don't have a girlfriend."

"What about you? Won't your boyfriend misunderstand?"

Zhou Lan looked up, smiled faintly, and said, "I don't have a boyfriend either."

"Shall we go together?"

"Together."

Wei Jing glanced at the movie title and showtime, "It starts in forty minutes, just in time to walk over."

The two stood up at the same time and almost bumped their heads.

Wei Jing helped her up, placing his palm on her elbow.
