Shen Qingli looked at Zhou Yanchen, thought for a moment and said, "Well, I want to ask you how Ren Wan is doing now?"
"Is she in hospital or locked up?"
Zhou Yanchen tightened the hand on her waist and said, "She is still in the hospital for treatment, but there is news from the court that she will be tried in public soon."
"Don't worry, she won't be able to escape this time."
Shen Qingli nodded slightly, "Can I go see her soon?"
Zhou Yanchen was a little confused: "Why did you go to see her?"
"I have something to ask her. Can I go see her?"
Seeing Shen Qingli's expectant eyes, Zhou Yanchen couldn't refuse, "I don't know if I can go to see her, but I can call her tomorrow and ask, and then I'll tell you."
"OK."
Shen Qingli's ears felt slightly hot when she saw Zhou Yanchen's gaze. "It's getting late, so you should go to bed early."
"I'm going to bed first."
After she finished speaking, Shen Qingli wanted to get up, but Zhou Yanchen did not let go of the hand on her waist.
"Xiao Li, I've finished my Chinese medicine."
Shen Qingli:? ? ? ?
"Is your insomnia getting better?"
“How many hours of deep sleep can you get every night now?”
Zhou Yanchen gently rested his chin on her shoulder, his warm breath brushing past her ear: "Two hours at most."
He knew that what really kept him awake was the empty pillow.
"Go for a follow-up visit tomorrow? Ask Uncle Qin to change the prescription." Shen Qingli raised her eyes and met those bottomless dark pupils.
"I don't want to take the medicine anymore. Xiaoli, you don't know, that medicine is really bitter."
"I know Chinese medicine is quite bitter. If you don't take the medicine, what will you do with your insomnia?"
"You are much better now than before, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yanchen laughed softly and suddenly picked her up by herself.
When Shen Qingli screamed, she subconsciously pressed her palm against his solid chest and could clearly feel his steady and strong heartbeat, "Put me down!"
"I'm not doing anything. I'm just carrying you back to the bedroom." His voice was seductively low and hoarse, but his steps didn't pause at all.
The lights in the bedroom were dimmed. Zhou Yanchen gently placed her on the center of the bed, his arms resting on her sides, causing a rustling of fabric.
Shen Qingli looked at his handsome face so close to her, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Maybe..." Zhou Yanchen's thumb gently stroked her flushed cheek, "Can we try another method?"
Shen Qingli was about to start, but was startled by his sudden movement of leaning over.
The warm breath swept across the lips, with temptation and restraint.
Since moving to Repulse Bay, he would always ask for her consent before kissing her, and never did anything that would disgust her.
Now, facing Zhou Yanchen like this, Shen Qingli felt a little panicked.
"Xiao Li..." His nose brushed against her trembling eyelashes, "Can I get closer to you?"
Closer?
Shen Qingli looked at him. They were less than ten centimeters apart. If they were any closer, it would be...
Zhou Yanchen saw the hesitation in her eyes. Although he felt a little disappointed, he knew he couldn't force her.
He turned over and lay down next to Shen Qingli, "Xiao Li, can I sleep here tonight?"
"I promise not to do anything to you. I just want to hold you to sleep."
Shen Qingli did not refuse. This was the first time she shared a bed with Zhou Yanchen since she moved to Repulse Bay.
Zhou Yanchen stretched out his hand and held her in his arms. Feeling the warmth from her body, he felt very satisfied.
"Xiao Li, thank you, go to sleep quickly, good night!"
"good evening!"
Shen Qingli thought she would suffer from insomnia with Zhou Yanchen around, but unexpectedly she slept more soundly than usual.
…
Shen Qingli just walked into the office, looked up and saw Hanna holding the phone with a happy look on her face.
"Nana, what's going on? You're smiling so happily so early in the morning."
Hanna pointed to the lunch box on the table and said, "Sister Xiaoli, this is the loving breakfast Song Zhinian made for me."
"He said he got up early today and did it."
Shen Qingli glanced at the lunch box on the table, which looked very appetizing. "It seems that he is quite romantic."
Hannah looked shy, "I started to think he was a straight man, but after spending these two months together, I feel like he's quite warm."
"It would be even better if his mother's illness could be cured."
"Sister Xiaoli, if Auntie were to perform a surgery, how much power would it be?"
Shen Qingli's face was solemn: "Less than 40%."
"But nothing is absolute. We can study it more carefully."
"I asked Song Zhinian last time, and he wanted to perform surgery on her mother."
"Did he tell you about this?"
Hannah nodded, "Yes."
"Then after we finish our rounds, if you have time, let's discuss new treatment plans together."
"Okay, let's go check the room."
Shen Qingli and Han Na had just walked out of the office door when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
Shen Qingli took a closer look and found that the person coming was the family member of a notoriously difficult patient in the hospital.
However, she still tried to remain polite and asked softly, "May I ask what can I do for you?"
Lai said bluntly: "Doctor Shen, I have something important to talk to you about!"
Shen Qingli frowned even more tightly. She knew very well that this woman must be here to make trouble unreasonably again.
But she was a doctor after all, and she couldn't lose her temper with the patient's family. She turned to Han Na and said, "Nana, you go to the ward first. I'll finish my work here and then I'll come over."
Han Na naturally knew that this woman was not easy to deal with. She glanced at Shen Qingli, then at the woman opposite, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes, "Okay, Sister Xiaoli, you are my friend."
After saying that, Hannah turned and left, leaving Shen Qingli and the woman standing face to face.
Shen Qingli looked at the woman in front of him and asked expressionlessly, "What's your matter? Just tell me."
"I heard that you are a very good doctor, so why didn't you perform the surgery on my dad?"
"Is it because we didn't give you a red envelope that you don't want to perform surgery on my dad?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingli frowned tightly, "What are you talking about? Your father's magic was not arranged for me to do it from the beginning."
The woman obviously didn't believe him. She sneered, "You said it wasn't you who did it? Who knows if you're trying to shirk responsibility?"
Shen Qingli's face became a little gloomy, and she suppressed the anger in her heart, "I, Shen Qingli, have always been upright and honest. What you said is simply nonsense."
"If I remember correctly, your father's martial arts skills are very advanced. He will probably have to be hospitalized soon."
"What is your purpose in telling me this now?"
When the woman heard this, her face turned ugly. "What do you mean by successful? He can't even get out of bed and walk now. How can this be good?"
"It's because you didn't perform the surgery on him that he became like this."
Although one might encounter all kinds of family members in the hospital, this was the first time Shen Qingli had encountered a family member who left him so speechless in all his years of practicing medicine.
