Chapter 23 Why don't you just make it a fait accompli and take Gu Yuheng down with you?
Seeing Shu Wei's shocked expression, Su Niannian asked in confusion, "Weiwei, you don't know her, do you...?"
Shu Wei did indeed know someone named Gu Yuheng.
But she wasn't sure if it was just one person.
After all, there are many people in the world with the same name.
So she asked to confirm further, "Is this Gu Yuheng you mentioned a graduate of a medical school?"
Su Niannian remembered that Gu Yuheng had indeed mentioned it: "He did say that he used to be a doctor, I think he was a cardiologist, but he gave up his medical career two years ago and went to work for Gu's Group."
Upon hearing the words "cardiology department," Shu Wei's uncertainty vanished.
Gu Yuheng, a returned PhD, is the youngest cardiologist at the First Affiliated Hospital and is highly regarded.
However, he suddenly chose to resign during the peak of his career.
This left the older generation feeling quite regretful for a while.
“Niannian, the Gu Yuheng you mentioned is a visiting professor hired by our department. He comes to Peking University to give lectures every month. You know, every time he has a class, it’s packed. The scene is so spectacular, it’s like a celebrity meet-and-greet. All that’s missing is the glow sticks being waved and shouted.”
Shu Wei spoke with such enthusiasm that she seemed to be on a high, getting more and more excited as she talked.
Of course, you can't blame her. Gu Yuheng has a refined and elegant demeanor, and he's so handsome he's like a movie star.
Who wouldn't want to squeeze their way in for a peek?
Su Niannian's eyes showed surprise: "Weiwei, you're not lying to me, are you? Uncle, are you that popular?"
Shu Wei nodded earnestly: "It's more real than gold. You didn't see the scene. Professor Gu not only attracted the girls, but even the boys in our class went to grab seats early in the morning. If you went, with your small arms and legs, you would have been squeezed under the seat by them."
Su Niannian knew that Gu Yuheng was outstanding, but she didn't expect him to be this outstanding.
She suddenly felt like a weed growing next to a high-mountain flower.
Ordinary and unremarkable.
A sense of loss welled up inside her, a feeling she herself was unaware of.
"I see...that's definitely an exaggeration."
His tone was also somewhat listless.
Shu Wei watched Su Niannian stir the noodles in her bowl, seemingly preoccupied. Gu Yuheng was popular, so why did Su Niannian look unhappy?
But aren't they just husband and wife in name only?
"Niannian, have you fallen in love? Why do you look so listless when you hear that Gu Yuheng is popular?"
Su Niannian constantly reminded herself of her status and position.
When she was most helpless, Gu Yuheng provided her with a place to stay and helped her solve her immediate problem. In two months, they will be able to raise enough money for her grandmother's surgery.
Su Niannian never thought much about anything else.
“Weiwei, he is just my employer. I will leave when the term is up.”
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Shu Wei swallowed back what she was about to say and gestured for Su Niannian to check WeChat.
Su Niannian refused the new phone Gu Yuheng offered her and continued using her old phone.
She glanced at her phone screen, where Gu Yuheng's profile picture was flashing slightly.
Click to open.
Is class over?
Su Niannian typed back.
Class is over, but I'm meeting with friends, so I might be home a little late.
They replied quickly.
Where is the address? I'll come pick you up.
Su Niannian was flattered; how could she let such a busy person come to pick her up?
"No need, no need, taking the bus is very convenient for me."
[Su Niannian, if you keep being so polite with me, as your English teacher, I'll give you homework tonight.]
Su Niannian had three black lines on her forehead. Because she didn't want to go back to the days of doing homework, she could only send the address to Gu Yuheng.
Shu Wei saw Su Niannian unconsciously sit up straight, as if answering a teacher's question with seriousness.
Su Niannian is such a coward.
"Is that Gu Yuheng? Why is he texting you?"
Su Niannian nodded: "Yes, he's coming to pick me up later."
After Shu Wei processed her words, she blinked and unconsciously sat up straight. The two of them sat facing each other like good students waiting for the teacher to start the lesson.
I completely forgot that I just complained about Su Niannian being a coward.
Knowing that Gu Yuheng was coming, Shu Wei wanted to make a good impression on him. While waiting with Su Niannian, she mentally rehearsed how she would greet Gu Yuheng several times.
However, when Gu Yuheng, dressed in a bespoke suit, stepped into the mala tang restaurant...
Shu Wei's tongue suddenly got tied, and she hurriedly stood up and bowed to Gu Yuheng.
"Professor Gu, hello."
Because her voice was quite loud, the surrounding guests were all drawn to her and turned to look at her.
Shu Wei felt like she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.
I never imagined I'd be even more cowardly than Su Niannian.
Taishe is dead...
Su Niannian watched as her best friend greeted Gu Yuheng with the highest level of courtesy.
Silently mourn for her for three seconds.
It's clear that Shu Wei's brain has short-circuited again.
Who knows how much they'll regret it now?
Seeing that the two girls had fallen silent, Gu Yuheng smiled gently and said, "Miss Shu, hello."
Shu Wei suddenly looked up in surprise, forgetting her embarrassment.
"Professor Gu, how did you know my last name?"
Gu Yuheng said humbly, "You answered a question in my class last time. I think your surname is very special, so I still remember you."
Shu Wei was surprised that Gu Yuheng remembered things from a month ago so clearly, and she truly admired his exceptional memory.
He's also really good at taking care of other people's feelings.
Before leaving, she watched Gu Yuheng's retreating figure.
He whispered to Su Niannian, "Niannian, why don't you just make it a done deal and win Professor Gu over? Such a good man is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I feel very at ease with you being with him."
Su Niannian ate very well.
Why doesn't anyone want to have a fake marriage with her?
Let her encounter something fake, and make it real.
Su Niannian said speechlessly, "Weiwei, stop talking nonsense. Okay, I'm leaving. Bye-bye."
Shu Wei watched Su Niannian leave, and saw her bend down to get into the car. The chest area of her loose white T-shirt bulged slightly with the movement, as if Su Niannian had hidden a little rabbit inside her clothes.
Why does it seem like Su Niannian's breasts have gotten bigger?
Was it rubbed?
I wonder who ate better this time.
---
As evening approached, the roads were bustling with traffic.
The dim light in the carriage shone on Gu Yuheng's profile, seemingly softening his cold and stern features.
Su Niannian sat in the driver's seat, tilting her head slightly to observe him, and hesitated before saying, "You're a visiting professor at Peking University?"
Gu Yuheng nodded slightly: "Yes, when I'm not busy with work, I might give a lecture."
Su Niannian sincerely praised, "Amazing!"
Gu Yuheng stared at the road ahead and said, "There are some croissants that came out of the company cafeteria this afternoon in the armrest box. I noticed you didn't eat much just now, have some."
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Niannian's eyes. Afraid of wasting food, she had only ordered some noodles and vegetables. Because the portions were small, the owner served them in small bowls.
Gu Yuheng even noticed this...
