Chapter 8: Love



The next morning, Cheng Ji planned to take Shangguan Qing to a private hospital for a thorough follow-up examination.

"Knock knock!" He knocked on the master bedroom door

"Wait."

Shangguan Qing quickly hid the mess of talismans written on it.

She spent the whole night studying, trying to find a spell to replace spiritual power, but all failed. They could neither transform space nor manipulate objects remotely, and at most they could dispel some evil spirits.

It seems that I have to endure a month without spiritual power.

Shangguan Qing was busy for a while, and when he finished cleaning up, he walked to the door and opened it.

She asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Ji explained, "You fainted a few days ago, and you didn't go to the hospital for a thorough checkup. I'll take you for a follow-up checkup today."

So that's what it was.

"Come in first."

After saying that, Shangguan Qing turned and walked into the house, and Cheng Ji followed him into the room.

She walked to the sofa by the window and sat down, crossing her legs, resting her elbows on the edge of the sofa, her chin resting on the back of her hands, looking at him lazily.

"I'm fine now, no need to go."

If we take an X-ray of her lifeless body, I'm sure the doctors would marvel at her as a medical miracle.

"But you—"

"Really, there's no need." Shangguan Qing spoke firmly, his eyes revealing impatience.

"All right."

He couldn't force it anymore.

Originally, he wanted Shen Ji to check if she was too weak, which caused her to feel cold. Her body temperature was always freezing, as if she was blown by a cold wind in the dead of winter.

Suddenly, there was knock on the door again.

“Knock knock!”

Uncle Yan knocked on the door twice and stood outside to report the situation, "Mr. Cheng, there is a man outside who claims to be Miss Shangguan's clerk and is here to see Miss Shangguan."

Are there any clerks in antique shops?

He went there twice but never saw it.

Shangguan Qing's eyes lit up. It must be Youxuan. Finally someone came to cover for her.

"He might be in some trouble and came to me for help," she explained in a brisk tone.

Seeing that she seemed to like this male clerk very much, Cheng Ji felt a little depressed inexplicably, "You go wash up first, I'll let him wait for you in the living room."

After saying that, he walked out of the room and slammed the door shut.

Living room on the first floor.

Youxuan was wearing a white sportswear and had a buzz cut, which gave him a youthful vibe and a manly look.

There are only two words to describe her: young.

Cheng Ji looked him up and down with cold eyes, then walked towards the sofa with his long legs and sat down.

Youxuan took the initiative to introduce himself, "My name is Hu Youxuan. I have been working part-time in Sister Shangguan's store. I knew she was not feeling well recently, so I wanted to come and see her."

It was my first time acting and I felt it was so novel and fun.

Cheng Ji raised his lips slightly, his eyes looked cold and unfathomable, "Oh, it seems like you have a good relationship."

The name Shangguan Jie comes out quite smoothly...

Youxuan didn't understand human love, so naturally he didn't hear the sour taste in his words, and proudly praised Shangguan Qing.

"Of course not. My sister Shangguan is pretty, has a good figure, works hard, and has first-rate abilities. Which man wouldn't like her? And what's more important, guess what?"

"......What?" Cheng Ji agreed with him.

"She's single! She's still single."

Youxuan deliberately emphasized the word "single". Isn't this hint obvious enough?

What bad intentions did the little white tiger have? He just wanted to help his leader get married.

He was secretly delighted in his heart: Sir, when you succeed, don't forget my contribution!

After hearing this, Cheng Ji felt that it was irritating.

I asked him out of the blue, "So you like her too?"

"What?"

Youxuan was a little confused by his question.

Shangguan Qing happened to come down from upstairs at this time. When he heard this conversation, his face suddenly turned dark, and his sharp and murderous eyes shot steadily and ruthlessly at Youxuan.

She thought she was waiting for an assist, but it turned out to be a bronze that held her back.

Shangguan Qing stepped forward and explained for him, "He doesn't like women."

After all, they are of different species, and if you want to like someone, you have to like a tigress.

Youxuan was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes! I don't like women. How can I like women?"

Do you like Mr. Shangguan?

God, it’s scary to think about it.

Don't say this casually...

Cheng Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "?"

He hadn't thought about this.

I looked at Hu Youxuan carefully again. He looked very young and sunny. I didn't expect...

He silently moved his butt and sat farther away from Youxuan.

Shangguan Qing got back to the point and asked Youxuan seriously, "What do you want to see me about?"

He pulled out the excuse he had been thinking of the whole night, "I'm going to start my internship soon, so I want to ask Sister Shangguan to help me find an internship."

After saying that, he did not forget to glance at Cheng Ji's reaction.

The acting was quite realistic and there were no mistakes.

"The antique shop won't be open anytime soon, I can't help," she turned her head and looked at Cheng Ji, "Can you help him? If possible, I also want to find an easy job to pass the time."

Being able to join the Cheng Group means that they will meet each other every day in the future.

As for love, if you can’t fall in love at first sight, then love will grow over time.

Cheng Ji has always been against people using backdoors, but Shangguan Qing saved him, so he had to learn to be grateful.

So it's not impossible to use the back door occasionally...

He kept brainwashing himself, and finally succeeded in convincing himself.

"Okay, I'll ask my assistant to make arrangements for him tomorrow, and you can stay in the president's office as his personal assistant."

Occasionally I would help him with chores in the office, such as organizing documents.

Easy enough.

"Aji!"

Just as the three were talking, Qin Guotao suddenly walked in quickly from the door and shouted his name loudly.

"Do you really not care about the relationship between us, the foster father and son?"

He walked angrily to the living room of Cheng's house, holding the hospital test report in his hand, and threw it in Cheng Ji's face. The rage in his eyes had reached its peak.

Then, he glared at Shangguan Qing who was standing next to him with a calm face, and his facial muscles were shaking with anger.

"Not only did you ask Qianyue to move out of the Cheng residence for her, but now you've crippled Xiaohao's hand, and he needed more than ten stitches! I didn't adopt you to hurt my son!"

Cheng Ji lowered his head without saying a word, letting the spit fly at him without making a single statement in defense.

The explanation is pale.

It is especially ridiculous when an outsider who has no blood relationship accuses the other family of fault.

Endurance is a habit he developed in the past ten years in the Qin family.

"It's only more than ten stitches, why did you come in and yell?"

Shangguan Qing yelled back and looked at Cheng Ji with disappointment.

There is no such thing as "grievance" in her bones.

What's the point of swallowing your anger? It will only make the other party become more aggressive!

She stood up, emitting a strong and cold sense of oppression that pressed directly towards Qin Guotao.

"Not letting your son go to jail is already a mercy, don't be ungrateful!"

Shangguan Qing scolded one thing after another, and not only Qin Guotao was suddenly stunned, but Cheng Ji also panicked.

This was the first time someone spoke up for him.

The first time in ten years.

"It's precisely because he cares about feelings that he doesn't even have a word to refute now. He shrinks himself like a hedgehog. What else do you want him to do? Will you be happy if he dies?"

Shangguan Qing's words are full of pearls and his words are sharp.

"Qin Qianyue is your daughter. Is there anything wrong with her going back to your house? And your son stole the group's research patent and gave it to his peers. That's used to cure heart disease and save lives! Not to mention crippling his hand, even cutting off his arm is a light punishment!"

Cheng Ji is busy spending money to promote medical research. Not only does he usually compete with the money-conscious capitalists in a battle of wits and courage, but his son is actually quite capable and directly steals from the house.

You are a person who is incapable of doing anything but always causes trouble, and yet you have the nerve to come and accuse Cheng Ji!

"you!"

Qin Guotao pointed at her and was so angry that his hands were shaking. Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Shangguan Qing, he had to vent his anger on Cheng Ji.

"See? Do you still want to keep a woman like this in Cheng's house? Get her out of here!"
