Chapter 33: Anything is acceptable
"Liang Man, Shaoyou has something to attend to and said he's going out for a bit." As soon as Fang Yuan returned and finished speaking, Liang Man frowned.
"Where to?" Liang Man thought of the wound she had seen when she changed Qi Shaoyou's dressing, and her unease gradually rose.
"She said she was going to meet a classmate not far away." Fang Yuan pressed down on Liang Man, who was trying to stand up, and shook her head.
“I told her that she could just go home after the meeting. Anyway, she wouldn’t be home very late today.”
Hearing Fang Yuan say this, Liang Man became even more anxious.
"Why didn't she just come back to me after the meeting? Why let her go straight home by herself?" A different expression appeared on Liang Man's usually gentle face.
Calmness and self-control have been the mask Liang Man has worn for herself for many years, and Fang Yuan found it quite strange that she hadn't seen such a distinct expression on Liang Man's face in a long time.
"She's just going to see a classmate, why are you so nervous?" Fang Yuan sat in the chair opposite Liang Man, her gaze intense.
Liang Man looked away first and said, "It's not safe. The injury on her shoulder is related to her classmate."
As she spoke, Liang Man frowned again. Subconsciously, she felt some resentment towards the classmate who bit her after those events had occurred.
However, the teacher didn't reveal the student's name to protect her. She couldn't prevent Shaoyou from getting away; even if they were to marry, she shouldn't marry an omega who liked to bite.
"It shouldn't be just one, otherwise she wouldn't have gone out." Fang Yuan poured herself a glass of water, her tone languid.
She realized that Liang Man had been triggered by Qi Shaoyou's injury, which had aroused an excessive protective instinct in her.
It's good to give her a little stimulation, otherwise Fang Yuan doesn't know when Liang Man will be able to face her own heart.
Since the initial excitement has already begun, she might as well add fuel to the fire.
"Someone confessed their feelings to Shaoyou today." When Fang Yuan said this, Liang Man knew exactly what she meant.
"Shaoyou is a good girl, it's normal for someone to confess their feelings to her." Liang Man's eyes didn't change, and even her brows relaxed. Perhaps Fang Yuan was right, she shouldn't be so alarmed.
She began to convince herself and reflect on her abnormal behavior.
Having spent so many days on set, Shaoyou has already experienced all the fun things to do. There's nothing wrong with her going out for a walk to clear her head.
At this age, going out to play with classmates is also a way to relax.
Seeing that Liang Man was no longer tense, Fang Yuan slowly added another sentence.
"After being rejected by Shaoyou, that person even asked Shaoyou to temporarily mark him." Fang Yuan happened to pass by and saw this, and almost instantly Qi Shaoyou's face turned dark.
Upon hearing this, even as she reflected on her excessive protectiveness, Liang Man's expression turned sour.
Liang Man has seen far too many instances of using an alpha to temporarily mark characters. What disgusting and despicable thing, daring to lay its hands on Shaoyou?
"Whose people are they?" Liang Man's face turned cold, and Fang Yuan was only pleased to see that she was truly angry. However, she still dared not show it too much, otherwise, what if she, an innocent bystander, was caught in the crossfire?
"The assistant director's side, sent to curry favor with you, ended up... currying favor backfired."
Liang Man has been incredibly stubborn and dedicated to her work over the years. She refuses to accept any offers to join a production team that come with its own funding.
If there's even one violation, Liang Man can directly pay the breach of contract penalty and leave the production crew.
The assistant director had someone he wanted to squeeze in, naturally wanting to curry favor with Liang Man.
He tried to get more people to join the cast several times, but the director said he would only accept it if he could persuade Liang Man not to leave the crew.
Seeing that it was too difficult to please Liang Man, he changed his strategy and turned his attention to Qi Shaoyou.
If the confession is successful, they will directly ask Qi Shaoyou for his affections as his girlfriend. If the confession fails, they plan to use temporary markers to take indecent photos of Qi Shaoyou to blackmail Liang Man.
Seeing Liang Man's face growing darker and darker, Fang Yuan dared not play any more games.
"I've taken care of everything, so you don't need to get too worked up." Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Liang Man's expression softened.
Liang Man knew Fang Yuan's methods; since she had said that once the food was ready, the assistant director would have to leave within three days.
"But, Manman, are you at ease? Are you at ease with Shaoyou being with someone else in the future?" Fang Yuan knew Liang Man well and naturally knew her weakness was her current excessive protectiveness.
"She's injured..."
Liang Man interrupted Fang Yuan: "I will always protect her and safeguard her."
Her reflection was interrupted, and after hearing the assistant director's plan, Liang Man's protective instincts rose to an unprecedented level.
“But in essence, aren’t you still pushing her away?” Fang Yuan’s words made Liang Man look away.
“Manman, I know you. If God gave you a potion that could make someone fall in love with you, you wouldn’t use it.”
"Because you don't want to control other people's lives because of your own desires. I understand, and I think your idea is very valuable."
Fang Yuan stroked the ceramic cup in her hand, looking around at everything in the RV. Normally, Liang Man would only use a nanny van, but since Qi Shaoyou came, she had switched to an RV.
Why? Isn't it just to make the child more comfortable?
In love, there's something called "likes and dislikes stemming from the same cause," meaning that sometimes the reasons for liking or disliking someone are the same.
You might like someone because they're sunny, but in the end, you might dislike them because they're too outgoing.
Fang Yuan felt that this theory could also be applied to Liang Man. If used well, Liang Man's reason for rejecting Qi Shaoyou could become her reason for winning him over.
There's just one thing: Liang Man needs a special kind of moral blackmail. Coincidentally, Fang Yuan, having known her for so long, is very good at it.
"The current situation is that she likes you, but you insist on pushing her away. The wound in her heart will probably be bigger than the wound on her body."
"How do you know that her injury this time wasn't due to her giving up on herself because of your rejection? This time it's her shoulder, what about next time?"
Worried about the child getting hurt? Fang Yuan fabricated an injury for Liang Man.
Sure enough, Liang Man's thoughts would freeze whenever she encountered Qi Shaoyou.
If Fang Yuan's words weren't directed at Qi Shaoyou, Liang Man wouldn't have willingly fallen into this trap.
"Of course I know you're afraid of the hurt that gossip can cause her. But what if she doesn't see it as a problem?"
"If she has the courage to face it with you, why do you refuse?"
How do you know your rejection won't hurt her more than the gossip she can handle?
Fang Yuan's move was a series of attacks that successfully shattered Liang Man's previous arguments. After this speech, Fang Yuan's words were simply sophistry.
However, if Liang Man's mind hadn't been disturbed, she wouldn't have fallen into this trap.
“You don’t understand…” Liang Man’s mind went blank when she heard this. She knew she shouldn’t follow Fang Yuan’s theory.
But she couldn't help but wonder, what if she also became the reason for hurting Qi Shaoyou? What if it caused her even more pain...?
"You're afraid she'll get hurt, but what if the only wound her heart can bear is one that only you can inflict?"
"The deepest wound is that you were destined to be together but not to stay together..."
After completely disrupting Liang Man's train of thought, Fang Yuan took her cup and went to find her assistant.
Everything should be done in moderation, so that Liang Man has room to think along her own lines.
Qi Shaoyou had no idea what Fang Yuan was doing; if she did, she probably would have fainted on the spot.
Following Song Youbai, another contributor has emerged to Qi Shaoyou's transformation into a succubus.
Since he was going to see Su Yan, Qi Shaoyou decided to call a car himself instead of using Sister Manman's car.
When Qi Shaoyou saw that the address Su Yan gave her was a hospital, she had a guess in her mind. She chatted with a doctor at the hospital in the taxi and learned that Su Yan's grandmother's mental state had improved in the past few days.
However, this situation is mostly a temporary resurgence of cancer before it has spread to other parts of the body.
Su Yan most likely wanted to put her grandmother's mind at ease in her final moments.
When Qi Shao swam over, he saw Su Yan already standing outside. She was wearing a white coat, with a snowflake-shaped hair clip in her long black hair, and looked lonely.
Her aloof and icy demeanor drew glances from passersby. But it was also this aura that kept everyone at bay from approaching this iceberg.
She exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.
My sister is here, and she's also the one you love. You clearly have feelings for her too, so why are you holding back?
[Shut up!] Su Yan coldly rebuked the voice in her heart. Ever since that day, she had known her own heart.
Because of her grandmother's illness and the plan to seize the Su family's assets, Su Yan had not had time to visit Qi Shaoyou.
Even today, her grandmother holds her hand and says she wants to see the person Su Yan likes.
She could have said no, but she still clicked the "send" button and sent the text message. She could fool everyone else, but she couldn't fool the other side of herself.
When Su Yan saw Qi Shaoyou walking over in a black coat and with his hair in a high ponytail, her heart suddenly warmed a little.
Yes, her body was telling her how much she loved Qi Shaoyou.
"Good afternoon." Contrary to her inner thoughts, Su Yan greeted him coldly and restrainedly.
She doesn't like being so reserved. You should go up to her, kiss her, take her hand, and hug her.
[Shut up!] Su Yan got even angrier.
"Good afternoon. What do you need my help with?" Qi Shaoyou walked up to her, feigning ignorance as he asked the question.
"This is a hospital. Do you have relatives living here?" The unfamiliarity on her face seemed genuine.
If Su Yan hadn't thoroughly investigated the hospital's background after gaining control of a portion of the Su family's assets, things might have really taken a turn for the worse.
She couldn't help but wonder if her other self had mistaken her for someone else. The person who led her away from everything that day wasn't Qi Shaoyou.
However, she investigated carefully. The so-called foreign-invested hospital was just a facade.
The person who truly controls this hospital is Qi Shaoyou.
That's right, the reason Su Yan was able to find out so easily was that 0527 was lazy when he was pretending to be someone else to play games.
"It's my grandmother who's sick."
"I need you to pretend to be a shareholder of this hospital, and also my fiancée, when you meet my grandmother."
Before Qi Shaoyou could speak, Su Yan continued the conversation.
"As for the price, it remains the same: as long as I have..."
Anything is fine.
0527 was stunned. How could someone who is usually so aloof say something so enticing?
[Waaaaah, such a beautiful woman! She's seducing me!]
Qi Shaoyou: ?
Please don't let your mind wander to nonsense, and don't try to take advantage of others!
"Advanced Hospital. As for the persona you gave me, tell me more about it so I can familiarize myself with it." Qi Shaoyou felt genuinely uneasy listening to the hospital's shareholders.
————————!!————————
Qi Shaoyou: Why do I feel a chill down my spine...? Did she not wear enough clothes today?
Author (touching the fan she secretly took out to blow on her): You must be imagining things.
Whether there will be a second update today depends on your praise [kissing emoji]
As an aside, if Sister Fang opened the room and saw Qi tied up by Manman, she would say to Manman, "You've been working hard lately. I've canceled my work for the next three months so you can rest."
For her, Liang Man's happiness is all that matters. [doge emoji] Qi: ? [clown emoji]
