Meng Chuyue felt that since she owed Su Jinnian a great favor for the fake medical record, it was only proper to show her appreciation now that she had come to the hospital.
She hadn’t expected Shen Ci to be here.
When Shen Ci recognized what Meng Chuyue was holding in her hand, a chill shot from his feet to his head, making him anxious and angry, struggling to maintain his facial expression, but it still darkened bit by bit...
Meng Chuyue didn’t notice any of this.
Considering that Su Jinnian saw them as a couple, she quickly handed the item to Su Jinnian to save Shen Ci’s face, then tugged on Shen Ci’s sleeve, "Do you have any other business here? If not, let’s leave together, so I won’t have to bring you a cake tonight."
"Okay, let’s go down together."
Shen Ci was instantly relieved and was about to leave with Meng Chuyue when Su Jinnian spoke up, "Chuyue, someone told me that Lin Fangwei secretly had a kidney transplant surgery and it was very successful. You can rest easy now."
Su Jinnian said this calmly, but little did he know his heart was in turmoil.
He thought he would be good friends with Shen Ci for life, never expecting to trip him up over a girl today...
He despised himself, but he didn’t want to let the first girl he’d taken a liking to slip away without a fight.
Shen Ci’s previously jubilant heart calmed down because of what Su Jinnian had said.
Meng Chuyue was no longer a threat—he was a mess and didn’t deserve her...
How could Meng Chuyue guess the underlying meaning in Su Jinnian’s words?
She took it as purely well-intentioned, nodding lightly, "She called me, saying the surgery was successful and she won’t bother me anymore. But Brother Su, her having the surgery secretly suggests the kidney source wasn’t legitimate. Do you know who the victim was?"
Su Jinnian shook his head, "I don’t know, but I can find out for you if you’d like."
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Su. If you get a chance, please check it out, but don’t go to any trouble, as it might endanger you."
Su Jinnian hesitated for a moment then nodded, "Okay."
"Goodbye, Brother Su."
Smiling, Meng Chuyue waved at Su Jinnian and pulled on Shen Ci’s sleeve as they walked outside.
Although Shen Ci felt downhearted, he was charmed by her actions, walking briskly outside with a slight curve to his lips.
Well, they could deal with the future later.
For now, he would cherish every moment with her.
Knowing Shen Ci was a man of few words, Meng Chuyue let go of his sleeve once they were outside and started talking about cakes to engage him.
"I forgot to ask if you like eating cake?"
Shen Ci, who wasn’t fond of cakes, seemed very happy, "I like it, I really like it."
If Meng Chuyue personally made the cake, it must be tasty—even if it wasn’t, he would pretend to like it.
"Do you prefer more chocolate or cream or fruits..."
Meng Chuyue was in the midst of a lively conversation when a group of menacing people blocked their path, and a cold, harsh voice of a young man reached them, "Is this your girlfriend, little brother? Heh, she’s quite pretty."
Meng Chuyue stared in astonishment at the man and his fierce followers and then at the angry Shen Ci, guessing that the man was likely from the Shen Family who had been persecuting Shen Ci. She glared fiercely at him and said defiantly, "Who’s his girlfriend? How can you talk such nonsense? If my boyfriend misunderstands me because of what you said, I’ll make you pay!"
Although she was feigning anger, her presence was formidable. Her sparkling peach blossom eyes widened, her tender face accentuated by her continuously pouting red lips made her even more animated, stunningly beautiful.
