The title "General Shen" stunned Shen Nanzhi. His heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, turning completely cold.
The way Mu Chenshuang rejected him so resolutely felt both familiar and strange to him.
Shen Nanzhi couldn't understand why he kept missing out on Mu Chenshuang, why he was never the one standing by Mu Chenshuang's side.
Even without looking at Shen Nanzhi's expression, Mu Chenshuang could guess that Shen Nanzhi's face must be extremely ugly.
But there's nothing that can be done. Love is the only thing in this world that cannot be forced. Perhaps she seems heartless now, but it's better than giving someone hope only to have it shattered.
Hearing Mu Chenshuang's loud call, Linglong, who rushed in from outside, was about to speak when she suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the room seemed a bit off.
Feeling awkward and slightly uncomfortable, she quickly glanced at Shen Nanzhi and Mu Chenshuang's faces.
Mu Chenshuang stood firmly to the side and raised her head, while Shen Nanzhi lowered his head, seemingly trying his best to hide his dejected expression.
"Let the patients waiting in line outside come in," Mu Chenshuang said calmly, her posture upright, like a snow lotus standing alone, unapproachable to the world.
Linglong hesitated for a moment before saying, "But Miss, you just finished your free clinic and haven't even had a sip of water or eaten anything..."
At this point, Shen Nanzhi raised his head, looking at her with some heartache, and said in a restrained yet gentle tone, "Shuang'er, you don't need to rush out. I'll leave now."
With that, Shen Nanzhi strode away.
As soon as he stepped out, Linglong, who had keenly sensed something amiss, quickly approached Mu Chenshuang.
"Miss, what's wrong? Did you and General Shen have a fight?" Linglong asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.
Mu Chenshuang sighed and sat down. She had been discussing important matters with Shen Nanzhi, and she had been on edge the whole time. Now that Shen Nanzhi was gone, she felt both thirsty and tired.
Although her health has recovered well, she still often feels tired, perhaps because of her pregnancy.
"No." Mu Chenshuang shook her head and was about to tell Linglong to get her something to eat when she heard Linglong muttering to herself and take over the conversation.
"That's right, I don't think General Shen had a fight with you. He's very accommodating to you, and he's still devoted to you..."
Before she could even utter the words "devoted love," Linglong met Mu Chenshuang's speechless stare.
Linglong immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she also immediately understood what was going on with the awkward atmosphere between Mu Chenshuang and Shen Nanzhi just now.
The quick-witted Linglong immediately put on a different face, not mentioning the matter at all, and instead said with a smiling, ingratiating smile, "Miss, you must be hungry. I will go and prepare something for you right away."
Before she finished speaking, Linglong had already dashed out.
Mu Chenshuang shook her head helplessly, a smile playing on her lips: Luckily, this girl is clever, otherwise I would definitely give her a good scolding today.
Mu Chenshuang was left alone in the room, and she couldn't help but recall Shen Nanzhi's appearance just now.
Although she felt bad about rejecting Shen Nanzhi several times, she hoped that he could get over his infatuation as soon as possible.
In Mu Chenshuang's view, although Shen Nanzhi was a military general, she believed that his personality was much gentler and more mild than that of Fu Junheng and Feng Xilan. It was precisely because of this that Mu Chenshuang felt that Shen Nanzhi was the most trustworthy friend in her heart.
