Dean's Office.
Si Wenjie locked the door and turned around, trapping Shi Yining between the desk and himself. "What are you doing back?"
"Applying for a job."
Shi Yining shook the resume in his hand and asked, "Isn't Kangrui recruiting a director of neurosurgery?"
“Nonsense!”
Si Wenjie snatched the resume away and asked, "You're earning a million dollars a year at the Mayo Clinic in Country M, and you're going back to this kind of hospital?"
"What kind of hospital?"
Shi Yining's face suddenly turned cold. "Si Wenjie, you spent five years turning Kangrui from a company that couldn't pay salaries to one that became a well-known company in Beijing, only to belittle it now?"
Si Wenjie was choked.
Shi Yining pressed on, "Five years ago, you said you wanted to start a business, and I let you go. Now you've succeeded..."
She poked his chest, "What else do you have to push me away?"
Si Wenjie rubbed his brows tiredly, "Yining, the Si family's situation is more complicated now than it was five years ago. The old man has already arranged a marriage for me..."
"so what?"
Shi Yining sneered, "Are you going to marry a woman you don't love for the sake of your family, just like you rejected me back then?"
She yanked his tie off.
In front of Si Wenjie's astonished gaze, she bit his Adam's apple hard.
"Si Wenjie, you owe me five years. Now it's time to pay it back, with interest."
…
At noon, in the cafeteria.
Gu Youran bit her chopsticks, her eyes moving back and forth between the two people opposite her.
Si Wenjie was still wearing a neat suit, but his tie was a little looser than usual.
The suspicious red mark on the neck was faintly visible.
“Ahem…”
Gu Youran cleared his throat and said, "Brother Wenjie, based on Sister Ning's employment procedures..."
Si Wenjie sighed, "Report after the New Year."
Shi Yining scooped a spoonful of soup slowly and calmly, "Oh? You're not worried about your grandfather anymore?"
"Have a meal."
Si Wenjie put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into her bowl, then turned to Gu Youran and said, "After the New Year, we're going to launch a project combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat brain tumors. You two are a perfect match."
Gu Youran looked at Shi Yining's eyes which lit up instantly and immediately understood.
"Understood! I will definitely cooperate with Sister Yining."
She paused, then added softly, "But Sister Yining, next time... could you please not leave marks in obvious places? The whole hospital is guessing who bit you..."
Shi Yining curled her red lips slightly, and her high heels rolled heavily over Si Wenjie's leather shoes under the table.
…
1:05 pm, in front of Kangrui Hospital.
A black Maybach was parked quietly.
As soon as Gu Youran walked out of the gate, the car door opened silently.
Shi Heng's figure appeared in sight.
He wore a black turtleneck sweater today, with a dark gray cashmere coat on the outside, which made his figure look more upright.
He glanced at his watch. "Three minutes later than expected. Do you know how much interest I have to pay for every second I wait?"
Gu Youran trotted over, "Sister Yining insisted on pulling me along..."
Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly picked up by the waist.
Shi Heng helped her into the car with one hand and closed the door with the other.
The enclosed space was suddenly filled with his faint green wood fragrance.
Shi Heng instructed Bulkhead, "Go to the prosperous and famous capital."
His fingers had already unbuttoned her coat. "First, I'll take the deposit."
Gu Youran hurriedly held down his rebellious hand, "Don't... in the car..."
Shi Heng suddenly bit her earlobe and said in a vague voice, "Then tell me, why did you secretly change out of the pajamas I prepared last night?"
"That one is too see-through..."
"So you're wearing it for me today?"
He unbuttoned his coat, revealing a corner of his black lace pajamas underneath.
"It's well hidden, but unfortunately... the collar is exposed."
Only then did Gu Youran realize that in her haste she had put on the pajamas she had hidden last night.
Shi Heng's fingertips had already slid in along the collar, drawing circles on the collarbone.
"Now, let's settle the accounts for these three minutes..."
…
Half an hour later, we arrived at the "Nianwan" bridal shop in Shengshi Mingdu.
Gu Youran walked into the store holding Shi Heng's arm and looked at the brand new space in surprise.
The last time I came here, it was just a small exquisite shop, but now it has occupied half of the floor.
The dazzling crystal chandeliers make all kinds of wedding dresses look like a dream.
"Youran!" Tao Nianwan leaned out from behind a row of wedding dresses.
She was wearing a champagne-colored cheongsam today, with her long black hair tied into an elegant bun. She didn't look like she was in her fifties at all.
After using Gu Youran’s special beauty cream, her skin became whiter and more rosy, and even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes became much lighter.
She held Gu Youran's hand affectionately and said, "Come and try on some of my newly designed wedding dresses, all made to your size..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly caught sight of Shi Zhengyang standing beside him.
Tao Nianwan glared at her husband coquettishly, "Didn't we agree that you could rest at home today?"
Shi Zhengyang straightened his tie confidently and said, "I'm your assistant."
As she spoke, she picked up the hem of a wedding dress and said, "Look at this wrinkle. I helped to fix it so well."
Shi Heng raised his eyebrows, walked to his father and whispered, "Dad, the company has several big projects recently..."
"Stop!"
Shi Zhengyang immediately waved his hand, "We agreed that I would go there a week before your wedding. Now..."
He looked at his wife with a smile, "I need to focus on being with my wife."
A blush appeared on Tao Nianwan's face. She coughed lightly and pulled Gu Youran towards the fitting room.
"Ignore them, let's go try on clothes first."
Shi Heng looked at his wife's departing back, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.
