Chapter 123: Chapter 123 President Sheng, Madam is back again! Chapter 123: Chapter 123 President Sheng, Madam is back again! Qi Yunfan looked at her with suspicion, “You? You can’t even get an invitation for yourself, yet you can get one for me? I need five invitations this time, can you get them?”
Wen Nianyou’s mind raced, “I truly can get them. My pharmaceutical company is about to start up. Before, my friend mentioned that as long as my company was up and running, they would help me get the invitations. I didn’t have a company before, so that’s why I didn’t have an invitation.”
“Really? You’re not trying to deceive me again, are you?”
“Hey, when have I ever tricked you? The thing with Doctor Anxin last time wasn’t me deceiving you, it was me being tricked by Chuyi. She’s always been thinking about you, jealous of me being with you, so she’s constantly trying to drive a wedge between our relationship.”
Wen Nianyou took Qi Yunfan’s hand, “Brother Yunfan, you must not be fooled!”
“The Medical Exchange Conference happens only once a year, and it’s only because of a new drug launch that there’s an additional one this year. It’s a rare opportunity; you won’t get an invite and cause me to miss out on the chance to network.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely get you the invitation.”
She spoke with such confidence and certainty that Qi Yunfan finally felt at ease.
He also took Wen Nianyou’s hand, his voice becoming very gentle, “Youyou, thank you. If I had known you could get the invitations, I wouldn’t have needed to invite Ye Chuyi for a meal. But it’s great you’re here; I ordered lots of dishes—all your favorites. Give them a try.”
Wen Nianyou finally felt comfortable inside. She picked up a spoon and took a sip of the corn soup.
She nearly spat it out!
What was this?! Sour and salty, was this really corn?
But in front of Qi Yunfan, she couldn’t spit it out. She had to swallow it forcefully.
She then tried a piece of pan-fried veal. One bite and blood oozed out, the metallic taste instantly shooting to her brain.
Wen Nianyou’s vision darkened, and she nearly spat it out again.
But Qi Yunfan was looking at her tenderly; how could she perform the utterly unrefined act of vomiting at the table?
So, she swallowed it whole.
Then, she tried several more dishes in a row, all tasting strangely repulsive!
What had Qi Yunfan even ordered?
Did he single-handedly pick out every distasteful dish in this restaurant?!
Qi Yunfan was still serving her, “Youyou, try this French snail. It’s quite tender; you’ll definitely like it.”
Wen Nianyou steeled herself and took a bite.
She couldn’t bite through it.
It was tender, all right—she suspected it was downright raw!
“How is it, tasty?”
Wen Nianyou swallowed the snail, her smile very stiff, “It’s delicious, very authentic, Brother Yunfan.”
“Since you like it, these three snails are for you too.”
…
Elsewhere.
Ye Chuyi had taken a taxi back to the hospital.
Raindrops began to float from the sky. When she got out of the cab, the raindrops had turned into the size of beans, cooling the air even further.
Ye Chuyi stretched out her hand, catching a few cool droplets, and began to smile slightly.
It was raining again, luck had once again stood by her side, she had successfully called Wen Nianyou out of Lady Wen’s hospital room, and now she could have a good talk with Lady Wen.
Plus, Wen Nianyou probably wouldn’t be back anytime soon, considering the array of unpalatable French cuisine should keep her quite occupied.
Today, she really had to thank Qi Yunfan; otherwise, things wouldn’t have gone this smoothly.
She walked briskly into the hospital’s entrance, heading in the direction of the inpatient department.
Inside the Bentley, the assistant, with his sharp eyes, spotted Ye Chuyi, hurriedly saying, “President Sheng, Madam is back again!”
Sheng Tingyuan had already seen her; after all, she was quite distinctive.
Everyone else in the hospital was rushing about, with or without umbrellas, only she was walking steadily, as if taking a leisurely stroll in the rain.
She really seemed to like the rain, not avoiding it at all.
“President Sheng, Madam has returned so quickly, she doesn’t seem to have had dinner, and why didn’t the man in the sports car bring her back? Didn’t he offer to bring her back even in the rain?”
Sheng Tingyuan spoke indifferently, “Perhaps, it was all intentional on her part.”
