Chapter 351: Chapter 351 - I Only Like You

Jiaren Wu considerately closed the office door behind her. As soon as she turned around, her face turned ugly. She took two pieces of tissue paper from the secretary’s desk, crumpled them into a ball, and stuffed them into her ears.

This was only a form of psychological comfort. In fact, she could still hear the deliberate movements from inside.

Jiaren Wu thought that she was also a playgirl, but in front of this lady, she couldn’t help but feel inferior.

It seemed like she still had to learn.

The secretary came up after dinner and saw Jiaren Wu standing at the door of her boss’s office with two balls of paper stuffed in her ears. This surprised the secretary, and she cast a displeased look at the closed door beside Jiaren Wu.

This secretary was also a good person.

She heard the voices coming from inside, but her expression remained unchanged. She calmly walked behind the desk and sat down.

Jiaren Wu watched as the secretary turned on her computer and focused on handling the documents. She, who rarely had any respect for others, was impressed by the secretary’s determination.

It’s no wonder that bodyguards are paid so much now. Those with poor mental endurance will probably go crazy.

After lunch, Wei Shuyi went to buy a cup of instant coffee. As he drank it, he walked toward his office. At the elevator, he bumped into Yuan Jun.

Yuan Jun was a foodie. There were always snacks in his office. Whenever Wei Shuyi saw him in a place other than the operating theater and a patient’s ward, he would always be eating.

Little steamed buns, bread bought from the bakery outside the hospital, little bear biscuits, yogurt…

They were all his favorite foods.

When Wei Shuyi saw him, Yuan Jun was drinking yogurt with his left hand and holding a takeaway box with his right.

The two of them entered the elevator at the same time.

Earlier, the elevator beside them had gone up first, and everyone had squeezed into it. Now, only the two of them boarded the elevator.

Wei Shuyi hooked his nose and looked at Yuan Jun’s takeaway box.

“Chinese toon?”

His expression was gloomy.

Yuan Jun picked up the food box and took a deep breath before saying, “Yeah.”

“There are still Chinese toons in this season?”

“Well, why wouldn’t they have what I want to eat?”

Wei Shuyi stopped talking.

He hated eating Chinese toon. When there were Chinese toons, even his breathing slowed down.

Finally, the elevator stopped.

Wei Shuyi impatiently walked out while Yuan Jun followed him with the takeaway.

Both of them had their own small offices. When Wei Shuyi walked past Yuan Jun’s office and saw that the latter didn’t go in and was still following him, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Wei Shuyi opened the door of his office but didn’t go in. Instead, he placed a hand on the door frame and turned around to warn Yuan Jun, “I’m telling you: don’t even think about carrying this into my office.”

Yuan Jun ducked under his arm like a slippery loach.

After entering the room, Yuan Jun opened the lunchbox.

At that moment, a pungent smell filled the entire office.

Wei Shuyi was on the verge of breaking down.

He kicked Yuan Jun’s lifeless body. “What are you doing? Did I offend you?”

Yuan Jun snorted proudly.

“This is revenge from a single man.”

Wei Shuyi was stunned for a moment. He frowned and tried to ignore the stench. Then, he raised his right hand and lovingly patted Yuan Jun’s head. “Young man, hurry up and find a girlfriend. Look at you. You’re in your twenties, but you haven’t even touched a woman’s hand. How pitiful!”

Yuan Jun was speechless.

He angrily stuffed the rice into his mouth and ate a few mouthfuls before saying, “I heard from Teacher Xu that you brought your girlfriend to see them some time ago?”

“Uh-huh!”

“Teacher Xu praised her for her good looks.”

“Yes.”

Wei Shuyi didn’t say much. His expression was calm, but his eyebrows were raised high. It was obvious that he was proud.

Yuan Jun snorted and said, “I heard she’s a police officer?”

Wei Shuyi whispered, “She changed jobs.”

“Huh? Why? Isn’t it good to be a police officer?”

Why?

Would Wei Shuyi tell Yuan Jun that his girlfriend had broken the rules by hitting someone and gotten fired?

He would never say such an embarrassing thing.

“Hurry up and eat. Then, scram!”

Yuan Jun didn’t probe further and started eating in silence.

Wei Shuyi couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. He took out his phone from his pocket and was about to open it when he saw a text message.

Wei Shuyi smiled and opened the message.

Alluring Beauty: [On the first day of work, the job content is: protect the boss and female celebrities from being secretly filmed. Tired.]

Looking at the message, Wei Shuyi was confused.

Are people nowadays so open-minded?

Yuan Jun put away the lunch box and was about to return to his office to take a nap. He walked to the door and suddenly turned around to tell Wei Shuyi, “I heard that after Christmas this year, our hospital will send someone to the Cleveland Clinic in Country A for three years.”

Wei Shuyi’s eyes lit up.

Cleveland Clinic was one of the top three most prestigious medical institutions in the world. The Cardiovascular Surgery Department under its name was ranked No.1 in the US and even the world.

There was only one spot.

Wei Shuyi raised his head and looked at Yuan Jun. The corners of his lips curled up even more. “You want to compete with me?”

“Yeah.”

Yuan Jun raised his middle finger at him with an arrogant expression. “I want everyone to know that I’m not inferior to you. Just wait to be abused by me.”

Wei Shuyi chuckled, “Be careful not to embarrass yourself.”

After Yuan Jun left, Wei Shuyi looked at the calendar.

It was July, less than six months before Christmas.

Cleveland Clinic. He wanted to go there.

After going there to further his studies for three years, when he returned, his net worth would rise. He would almost be on par with Xu Lao and his peers.

As expected, a week later, the hospital director announced this news during a meeting. All of a sudden, the doctors from the Cardiovascular Surgery Department got a little excited. Everyone was eager to give it a try. However, after Yuan Jun and Wei Shuyi submitted their application forms, almost all the other doctors gave up.

It was not up to the director or the hospital director to decide who the spot would be given to. It had to be decided by the people at the Cleveland Clinic.

Even though he had submitted his application form, Wei Shuyi still wanted to ask Jiaren Wu for her opinion.

If she was unwilling to be separated for three years, he would have to consider it again.

He called Jiaren Wu, but the call did not go through.

Wei Shuyi went to her house to look for her, but she was not back yet.

Wei Shuyi waited until dinner time, but Jiaren Wu had yet to return home. He ate dinner at a restaurant outside her neighborhood. When he put down his chopsticks, he saw Jiaren Wu driving her motorcycle back.

Jiaren Wu locked the motorbike and turned around to find Wei Shuyi standing behind her.

After they had not seen each other for more than a week, Wei Shuyi had become the person Jiaren Wu missed the most.

She jumped onto him. “Did you miss me?”

Wei Shuyi admitted it.

“Yes.”

Jiaren Wu was stunned by his honesty.

“I haven’t had dinner.”

Wei Shuyi asked, “Don’t you eat for free?”

“I was in a hurry to get off work, so I thought I’d go home and change before going to your house to find you. I didn’t expect you to come here.”

She then rubbed her stomach and asked Wei Shuyi, “Have you eaten?”

“No.”

Her kitchen was covered in dust. Jiaren Wu wondered how long it had been since she had touched the pots and pans.

Wei Shuyi felt bad that Jiaren Wu had been working so hard recently, so he decided to prepare a feast for her. “Go take a shower. I’ll go out to buy some groceries. Dinner might be a little late, so you can have some biscuits to fill your stomach first.”

“Okay.”

Wei Shuyi took her house key and went out to buy groceries. The market wasn’t far, and he arrived there very quickly.

Leaning against the window, Jiaren Wu watched as Wei Shuyi walked out of the building and disappeared into the night.

At 9 pm, Jiaren Wu Jia finally had dinner.

Wei Shuyi ate half a bowl with Jiaren Wu and then stopped eating. Jiaren Wu raised her eyebrows and asked him, “Why aren’t you eating?”

“I’m not really hungry.”

Jiaren Wu put a piece of pork rib into his bowl and said, “Eat more.”

Wei Shuyi, who had already eaten dinner and half a bowl of rice, stared at the piece of pork rib and found it hard to eat. He slowly ate the pork rib and heard Jiaren Wu ridicule Dongli Shenghua for being a pervert and shameless. She also complained about the dirty things in the entertainment industry.

“Do you have any celebrities you like?”

Wei Shuyi thought for a while and nodded. “Yes, it’s that Liu Ru from your company.”

“Her!”

Jiaren Wu giggled and moved closer to Wei Shuyi’s face. She whispered, “I’m only telling you this, don’t spread it.”

Wei Shuyi nodded and said, “I won’t.”

“That Liu Ru has a financier called Chen Zhang.”

Wei Shuyi was a little surprised. Chen Zhang was a big shot, and he looked like a decent person. Wei Shuyi did not expect that Chen Zhang would also have relations with a female artiste. “Does his wife know?”

“How could she not know?” Jiaren Wu said, “He and his wife are only connected by marriage. It’s fine as long as they’re on the same page in public. In private, who cares about each other?”

“It’s messy.”

“It’s messy enough.”

Jiaren Wu slyly looked at Wei Shuyi and asked, “Now that you know your goddess has a sugar daddy, do you still like her?”

However, Wei Shuyi said, “I just like the roles she plays. It has nothing to do with her. I don’t like her.”

Jiaren Wu nodded in satisfaction and continued to chew on the pig trotters.

Wei Shuyi’s eyes were full of love as he watched her eat. He said, “I only like you.”

Jiaren Wu put down the pork trotter in her mouth and looked up at Wei Shuyi.

Her heart was beating fast.

The light was warm, and the man sitting under the light was even warmer.

Jiaren Wu actually felt a little shy, and her cheeks turned slightly red. She said, “Can’t you wait until I finish my meal before flirting with me?”

“Eat slowly.”

Jiaren Wu ate three bowls.

Her appetite was even bigger than before.

“I’m consuming a lot of food every day to strengthen my body. Only then can I protect my employer.” Jiaren Wu’s words indirectly explained why she could eat a lot.

Wei Shuyi was a little surprised.

“I’m not complaining that you eat too much.”

Jiaren Wu stuck out her tongue and fought to wash the dishes.

“I’ll wash them. You sit.”

“Okay.”

Jiaren Wu washed the dishes very quickly. After that, she washed her hands and wiped them clean. Wei Shuyi was sitting on the sofa, watching television; he didn’t play any games. Jiaren Wu walked over and faced him directly, intending to bend down and kiss him.

At that moment, a phone rang.

It was Jiaren Wu’s phone.

The two of them were stunned at the same time. Jiaren Wu was about to answer the call when Wei Shuyi grabbed her waist and said, “Can you not answer?”

Jiaren Wu almost gave in to him.

However, when she thought of something, she still got up from Wei Shuyi.

Jiaren Wu squatted on the ground and found the phone in her clothes. When she saw that it was Mr. Dongli, she picked up the phone and turned around, raising a finger to Wei Shuyi’s mouth.

Wei Shuyi looked at her silently, his eyes filled with melancholy.
