Chapter 31 Purely Accidental
In the dim night, the man's eyes were bright and full of smiles, and they also reflected her small face, which was the size of a palm.
Shen Qinghuan felt inexplicably flustered. He looked away subtly and said jokingly, "Since Doctor Zhou is not in a hurry, why don't you pay the bill after dinner?"
"OK!"
"...Dr. Zhou, as a single man, shouldn't you save your money for buying a house, a car, and getting married? You're spending so lavishly on dinners, aren't you worried about running out of money?"
Zhou Sinian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Qinghuan leisurely and said with a smile, "Even my mother doesn't care about me as much as you do."
Shen Qinghuan choked and blinked in surprise. What did he mean by that? Was he comparing her to his mother? Or was he disgusted by her nagging?
“Miss Shen, your friend’s car is here!”
Seeing her in a daze, Zhou Sinian reminded her with a smile.
Shen Qinghuan belatedly said "Oh" and saw Li Meng walking out of the cab, looking at her and Zhou Sinian with a sly look. Thinking of what Li Meng had said to her before, she felt inexplicably flustered.
She suddenly felt a little regretful about inviting Zhou Sinian to join her, but the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't go back on her word halfway!
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qinghuan could only say to Li Meng with a smile: "Doctor Zhou didn't eat either, so I asked him to join us."
Li Meng: "No problem, it's more fun with more people."
After a pause, she added with a smile, "I didn't enjoy the meal last time, so I have to make up for it this time! Otherwise, how about we go to that hot pot restaurant? Doctor Zhou, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Zhou Sinian: "I can do anything!"
Li Meng thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go eat hot pot. We didn't get to eat it last time, and I've been thinking about it all the time!"
Finally, the three of them unanimously decided to go eat hotpot, at the same restaurant as last time.
Shen Qinghuan drank a bottle of beer and started talking more unconsciously.
She tilted her head, supporting her chin with one hand, her eyes a little hazy, "Mengmeng, do you know? My mother-in-law wants me to initiate the divorce with Jiang Yu. She thinks that only then will Grandpa agree."
"I used to think my mother-in-law treated me very well, like her own daughter, but in fact, I think I was overthinking it. The reason she treated me well was just because my grandparents and Jiang Yu treated me well."
"Back then, she must have agreed to my marriage with Jiang Yu because of Grandpa's pressure. Now Li Mingzhu is back, and Jiang Yu and I have been married for so long, not to mention we don't even have a child. I can't even control him. She must be very impatient!"
"In fact, if it were me, I would definitely be impatient and regret the decision I made even more."
Listening to Shen Qinghuan's ramblings, Li Meng immediately stood up for her and said angrily, "How dare she say such things? If you hadn't helped her to get rid of the third sister, would she be living such a comfortable life today? Who knows, she'd probably still be crying somewhere!"
Shen Qinghuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Exactly! Then tell me, does my mother-in-law think I'm easy to bully?"
Li Meng: "She might not only think you're easy to bully, she might even think you're stupid!"
Li Meng: "Huanhuan, if I were you, I would have divorced you long ago. Why would I wait until now? What's so good about Jiang Yu that makes you so devoted to him? Look at all the ridiculous things he's done in the past few years!"
Shen Qinghuan was a little drunk, "He's good in every way! Mengmeng, he really is good in every way!"
Li Meng sighed helplessly, a look of disappointment on her face. "He must have put you under a spell! I can't stand it. He's just a man, and look what you've done to yourself! You were also a victim in that incident. Why is he putting all the blame on you? No one put a knife to his neck and forced him to marry you."
Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Qinghuan's eyes lit up, as if filled with gorgeous aurora.
"Then tell me, when he first married me, wasn't he really that unwilling? He was actually a little willing."
"I'm not a worm in his stomach, how would I know? But Huanhuan..." Li Meng changed the subject, deliberately lowering her voice and saying mysteriously, "I know Dr. Zhou will be back soon. Are you determined to continue?"
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, "No!"
She doesn't want others to know her private affairs.
"Mengmeng, I'm only telling you this secret. You can't tell anyone else, not even Shi Beichuan."
Hearing Shen Qinghuan mention "Shi Beichuan", Li Meng couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead. This girl really brings up things that are not related to the topic!
"Huanhuan, whether you believe it or not, Shi Beichuan and I have nothing to do with each other. That night was purely an accident. Even if you hadn't shown up, things wouldn't have gone on like this."
“Who would believe that?”
…
When Li Meng saw Zhou Sinian coming over, he immediately stopped talking and picked up a piece of hand-cut beef from the pot and put it in.
Shen Qinghuan was worried about ignoring Zhou Sinian, so she deliberately tried to find a topic to talk about, teasing him slyly: "Doctor Zhou, I heard that you are the most popular doctor in your hospital among medical staff and patients of the opposite sex. Is that true?"
Zhou Sinian raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Shen, there is a type of person missing from your words."
Shen Qinghuan: "Which type of people?"
Zhou Sinian: "The patient's family."
Shen Qinghuan agreed with this and nodded quickly.
Li Meng held her chin with one hand and sighed helplessly in her heart. This silly girl! Did she know what I meant? She just nodded?
"Doctor Zhou, you're so popular, aren't you afraid your girlfriend will be jealous?"
"Currently single."
"So you enjoy being sought after?"
Zhou Sinian's pupils shrank slightly and he narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly. He clearly felt the hostility hidden in Li Meng's words, but he didn't care at all. His target was Shen Qinghuan, not Li Meng.
After a moment's silence, he said softly, "Miss Li may not understand our profession as surgeons. We are usually too busy and don't have much spare time to spend with our girlfriends, so being single is a necessity."
"Since you're so busy, just stay single and don't cause trouble for others."
"Ms. Li, you can't say that. Humans are social animals. Being single for too long is not good for your physical and mental health."
Li Meng raised her eyebrows, her words hinting at provocation, "Really? But doesn't the internet say that being single for a while is great, and being single all the time is great? Doesn't Doctor Zhou agree with that?"
Zhou Sinian: "Everyone's cognition is different, so naturally their ideas are also different."
Li Meng: "What does Dr. Zhou think?"
