Miao Miao dislikes Ye Shuqiao; she dislikes him from the bottom of her heart.
She knew that Aunt Ye didn't like her either, but only pretended to like her in front of her father.
Although she is only three years old, she is very sensitive and perceptive.
She could sense that Ye Shuqiao was deliberately trying to please her, just like she had done in front of her father.
It's all fake.
Ye Shuqiao's perfume smelled a bit pungent. She used her little hands to support herself and moved to the side. After all, she was a child and couldn't keep a straight face like an adult.
She pouted and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, Aunt Ye, Daddy, Grandpa, and Grandma, for buying me lots of pretty clothes. I also have lots of toys."
This is a refusal.
This little thing looks small, but it's really not easy to fool.
Ye Shuqiao felt irritated, her smile faded, and impatience welled up in her eyes. Sure enough, no matter how well-behaved or cute a child was, she couldn't bring herself to like them.
She knew that she hadn't been very nice to Fu Xuanmiao before. She thought that since he was just a child, she could be easily coaxed and tricked.
I must say, Fu Xuanmiao is quite clever.
Just as she was trying to find another way to back down, to ask where his father was, or about having dinner with her that evening, a steady footstep came from the doorway.
"Mr. Fu."
"dad."
Sister He and Miao Miao looked at the person at the door and called out in unison.
His voice was filled with surprise and a strange sense of redemption.
Today was Fu Chen's peak outpatient day. After finishing his work, he came to the inpatient department because he had promised Miao Miao yesterday that he would have dinner with her tonight.
He paused for a moment when he saw Ye Shuqiao sitting on the edge of the bed. A hint of surprise flashed in his gentle and deep eyes. The next second, his brows furrowed and a sharp look appeared between his brows.
What are you doing here?
Ye Shuqiao's joy and delight upon seeing him were shattered by his rather cold and displeased words.
She frowned slightly. She was more tolerant of the people she liked and wouldn't lose her temper easily.
She stood up and smiled, deliberately ignoring his displeasure. "I came to the south of the city to apologize to Meng Sheng, and I stopped by to see Miao Miao. Miao Miao looks great now, and she's even gained some weight. She's getting cuter and prettier."
Apologize to Meng Sheng?
Fu Chen grasped the key point from her words, "Miao Miao needs to rest. Let's go outside and talk."
Ye Shuqiao's lips curved into a slightly deeper smile. She nodded, looked at Fu Xuanmiao, and reached out to pat her head. "Miaomiao, you should rest well. Auntie will go out and talk to your father first."
Then she looked at Sister He and said, "The gift I bought for Miaomiao will arrive in about ten minutes. Please sign for it later."
Sister He awkwardly tugged at the corners of her lips. She had noticed something in Mr. Fu's attitude and wanted to say "No need," but with Mr. Fu present, she didn't know what to say and only replied "Okay."
After hearing her words, Meng Sheng put one hand in his pocket, glanced at her coldly, and then looked at Miao Miao. His expression and voice softened. "Miao Miao, Daddy is going out for a bit. I'll be back to have dinner with you later."
"Okay." Miao Miao gave him a soft smile and waved her little hand.
Fu Chen led Ye Shuqiao to the first floor. When they passed the coffee shop, Ye Shuqiao stopped and called out to him, "Fu Chen, I want to drink coffee. Will you buy me one?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Chen turned to look at her, his brows furrowing slightly, his gaze indifferent and calm, his dark pupils like a whirlpool.
Ye Shuqiao's heart was pounding so hard that she felt like she was about to crash into a car and die.
She remembered the first time she saw Fu Chen. He was standing at a distance, his eyes slightly lowered. His sharp and indifferent gaze swept over her as if she were looking at trash, making her heart pound uncontrollably.
At that moment, she knew that she had fallen for him.
But when he rejected her, she, who had been proud and arrogant for decades, naturally felt humiliated and furious.
In her entire life, she has never failed to get what she wanted, except for him.
Fu Chen!
She was actually resentful, so on Fang Zhiman's wedding day, she went to see Fu Chen, but unsurprisingly, she was met with a cold rejection.
He didn't even want to know her.
Now, meeting Fu Chen's gaze, she smiled openly and frankly, "We've known each other for a while now, it's not too much to ask you to buy me a cup of coffee, is it?"
This road is the only way from the outpatient building in the front to the canteen in the back. At this time, many medical staff are already heading to the canteen.
Almost everyone knows Fu Chen, and Fu Chen knows some of them as well, so they will greet each other.
Ye Shuqiao's voice was loud enough that everyone nearby heard it and turned to look at the beautiful, somewhat sharp and flamboyant woman.
Fu Chen withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, walked to the coffee shop, and ordered himself a cold brew.
Ye Shuqiao walked over and said to the clerk with a smile, "I'd like a cappuccino."
Fu Chen handed over his employee ID card and swiped it.
A few minutes later, both cups of coffee were ready. Fu Chen took his cup and walked straight ahead.
Ye Shuqiao quickly followed.
Fu Chen led her to a quiet, empty corridor with surveillance cameras.
He turned to look at Ye Shuqiao and asked coldly, "What is your relationship with Gu Ci?"
“An enemy.”
Ye Shuqiao took a sip of coffee and blurted out the answer without a care.
Half an hour ago, she almost drove Gu Ci to the ICU. In a sense, they are indeed enemies.
Fu Chen stared at her intently. "You were also involved in Gu Ci's plan that day."
Ye Shuqiao's eyes darted away, and she turned her head away, feeling embarrassed and ashamed that she had revealed this dark side of herself to him.
But she still admitted, "Yes, I was involved. Gu Ci wanted me to watch Meng Sheng make a fool of himself, but I didn't get to watch Meng Sheng make a fool of himself. Instead, I watched Gu Ci make a fool of herself. As a result, I was in big trouble. Before I went to see Miao Miao, I went to the 16th floor and had a fight with her."
She glanced at Pei Sui's unpleasant expression, pursed her lips, and said, "Pei Sui is fixated on this point. In order to stand up for Meng Sheng and get revenge, he started targeting my family. I had no choice but to ask my parents to come and apologize to Meng Sheng. I went to see her this afternoon, and she forgave me."
"Furthermore, I've learned something else: you haven't confessed to Meng Sheng, and she doesn't even know you like her."
Fu Chen's gaze narrowed slightly, the light in his eyes gradually turning deep and sinister. "What did you say to her?"
*
When Meng Sheng arrived at the hospital, it was already 6:30. She went in to disinfect herself and had just greeted Meng Chengli when the nanny brought over the food.
As she laid out all the insulated food containers, she asked Meng Chengli, "How was it when Pei Sui came to see you today? Did you talk to him?"
"He's alright. He looks cold and doesn't talk much, but he'll respond to anything you say."
Meng Chengli suddenly smiled and said, "He has a good understanding of history; it seems he must have put in a lot of effort in this area."
Seeing the admiration in his eyes, Meng Sheng couldn't help but remind him, "Dad, don't treat him like your student. He's not one of your students."
Meng Chengli looked up at her and snorted, "Student? There are plenty of people who want to listen to my lectures but can't. Although he has a good foundation, he's too old for him to pursue history. He'll just be a good son-in-law."
"Dad, that's a personal attack. He's only 31 this year. How can he be so old? Is that appropriate?"
"So you're already protecting her? They say women are more inclined to work outwards, and that's absolutely true."
"I'm just stating the facts."
"Look at you, I say one sentence and you want to shut me up with eight hundred sentences."
"That's an exaggeration. I only said three sentences at most. If I said eight hundred sentences, wouldn't I have run out of things to say?"
Meng Sheng raised an eyebrow and placed a piece of pork rib on his spoon. "If 31 is considered old in your eyes, what about my brother? No way, I'll send him a message later and urge him. He's so old and still single, is that acceptable?"
"Okay, go ahead and post it. If Ah Sui can't get past his brother-in-law later, he'll be crying. Just keep making him the target of hatred."
As Meng Chengli chewed his food, he couldn't help but complain.
Meng Sheng tilted her head to look at him, "So you've become 'A-Sui'? Last time you were that kid from the Pei family."
“The Pei family has two sons; I’m afraid you might not be able to tell them apart.”
"..."
Meng Sheng remained silent, her eyes filled with resentment, but Meng Chengli ignored her.
She couldn't help but think to herself: Dad, you really underestimate me. Do you think I don't know you?
After arguing with Meng Chengli for a while, the atmosphere in the ward became much more relaxed.
