Chapter 49

  Si fell ill and rested in his apartment for three days before returning to work at the clinic, which also included Qian Tong.

  Regarding the matter of Yi Kong, Si Luo Chen's attitude was exceptionally calm. In her eyes, it was still too early to bring it up now. Even if it wasn't the Yi family, there would be other families. Si Luo Chen only wanted to keep this card for the end.

  Yilin had been mentally prepared for this, but didn't expect it to come so soon.

  Guo Qian had already cleaned up the office on the second day after Xiang Qiong returned. Now that this has happened, it's not okay if Xiang Qiong doesn't agree.

  Under Guo Qian's lead, Xiang Tong came to her office. The surrounding light was good, with a large desk and a comfortable sofa in the partition. After understanding the surroundings, she nodded satisfactorily at Guo Qian and said, "You've worked hard."

  Guo Qian had always known about Xiang Qiong, and now that she saw her in person, she was tall and slender with a great temperament, almost to the point of being infatuated. Moreover, she politely said to her, "You've worked hard." Immediately flustered, she continuously said several "haven't" words before finally managing to say clearly, "It's no big deal."

  Qian Tong smiled and watched as Guo Qian left, then placed the oil painting that Gu Xuan had given her on the table. Under the sunlight, it seemed especially dazzling.

  Looking at the medical records and understanding the patient's situation, time always flies by quickly, and before you know it, it's already noon.

  Hearing the knock on the door, Xiang Qiong's gaze finally moved away from the computer screen: "Come in."

  The person who opened the door and came in was Si Luochen. He had been resting for a few days, but there were many things to deal with at the clinic. After handling everything, he finally had time to visit Xiang Qiantong. Thinking that she was just next door, and he could see her as soon as he opened the door, Si Luochen felt happy, so his mouth corners were always curled up in a smile: "How's the environment here? Do you like it? The room smells nice, Guo Qian is getting better at handling things." He muttered to himself as he walked towards Xiang Qiantong.

  Qian Tong stood up and walked around the office desk to stand in front of Si Luo Chen, responding: "Very satisfied, it's even better than my previous work environment. However, I don't have a market at home yet, so it seems like it'll take some time for me to help you make money, boss. Don't look down on me, okay?" He said with a slight smile, jokingly.

  Si Luo Chen then walked closer to Qian Tong, his hands wrapped around her waist, his eyes narrowed into a slit, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up and said: "It's okay... no patients, no performance, just offer your body to the boss."

  Qian Tong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh? Does the boss do this to every new doctor?"

  Unexpectedly, Si Luo Chen hooked his right hand and pulled her into his arms, his left hand supporting Xiao Qian Tong's chin, smiling and saying: "Then let's see if the other new doctors are as beautiful as you."

  Qian Tong never thought that Si Luo Chen would reveal such a rascal appearance.

  "Is the boss still satisfied?" Thicker-skinned than that, Si Luochen had never won against Xiang Qian Tong since university.

  When she said that, Si Luochen suddenly felt a little shy, moved his teasing hand away from Xiang Qiong, and leaned in to rest his chin on Xiang Qiong's shoulder, embracing him entirely.

  These days, she had been wanting to hold her at home like this, but unfortunately, her body was soft and weak, and she had been taken care of by Qian Tong all along. Therefore, Si Luo Chen was still angry with this woman who didn't understand romance, except for taking good care of her every day, there were no other expressions, was it that as long as she didn't take the initiative, she would be like a wooden stake and not respond at all?

  But thinking of Qian Tong's situation, Si Luo Chen indeed understood very well.

  Fortunately, my mother won't interfere for now, and I've also got my sister's tacit consent. Si Luochen has plenty of patience and time to develop this piece of wood properly.

  He lifted his head, lightly pecked at Qian Tong's lips, and restored his usual proud appearance: "Let's see how you perform."

  Qian Tong was indeed just thick-skinned on the surface, but once things got real, she could only blush and freeze in place.

  Xie Luo Chen let go of her with a satisfied expression and said: "I came to ask you, I plan to order Japanese food for lunch, is there anything in particular you'd like to eat?"

  Qian Tong shook his head: "What does Luo Chen like to eat?"

  Si Luo Chen's mouth curved into a subtle smile as he carefully sized up Xiang Qian Tong, without responding.

  To Qian Tong: "......"

  I like seeing her like this. Si Luo Chen smiled contentedly and said: "I love eating salmon, let me help you order a bowl of eel rice?"

  Nodded at Qian Tong: "Good."

  "That... thing has arrived, I'll call you." Si Luo Chen smiled and turned around to leave.

  Xiang Qian Tong realized the true meaning of Si Luo Chen's salmon sashimi only at the moment when the door was closed.

  “……”

  At noon, the table in the rest room was filled with all kinds of delicious sashimi dishes, which made Guo Qian extremely happy. Who doesn't know that the Japanese restaurant downstairs costs four digits per person?

  Four people sat around a round table, quietly eating delicious Japanese food. Irene just found it strange that every time Si Luo Chen picked up a piece of salmon, the corners of his mouth would curl up into a smile, as if today's salmon was particularly fresh and delicious. Looking at Qian Tong again, he lowered his head in embarrassment, eating his eel rice, as if he was shy?

  Although Yilin didn't understand the meaning behind it, she also knew that Qian Tong was being teased by Si Luochen.

  After finishing eating, Guo Qian put things away and went out. Yilin sat down beside Si Luo Chen: "Sister, give me your hand."

  Xie Luo Chen stretched out his hand inexplicably and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Yilin just smiled, pressing two fingers on Siluo Chen's pulse, the atmosphere suddenly became serious. Until Yilin let go of her hand and smiled: "Senior sister, your body has already recovered seven or eight tenths, it's just that there will still be some chest tightness and dizziness recently, don't worry too much."

  Although he knew about the predecessor of the Yi family, Si Luo Chen's expression was still slightly surprised: "I thought no one in your family studied traditional Chinese medicine anymore."

  Yilin smiled embarrassingly: "It's just that I read more medical books at home when I was young, so I understand more. Compared to the seniors in our family, I still have a long way to go."

  "I've heard from my mother that the Yi family was already a famous imperial physician in the early Qing dynasty." As he spoke, his gaze turned to Xiang Qian Tong beside him and introduced: "I've always thought that the Yi family is the true medical family, our Shi family can only be considered as half-converted."

  "How could I, I don't know much about the ancestors of this family, but there are indeed many medical books. However, Western medicine is the development of science and technology." Yilin smiled in response, at which time the door to the rest room was opened by Guo Qian.

  "Doctor, your phone."

  Xia Luo Chen nodded and left.

  Only the two of them were left in the rest room.

  "Let me help you take your pulse too, senior sister," said Irene, stretching out her hand towards Qian Tong.

  Qian Tong handed her hand over to her along with her movements: "Ruo Nan said you're very impressive."

  During this period of time, Qian Tong came to know that Yilin's personality is relatively humble and introverted. The person whom Shu Wen Nan looks up to shouldn't be bad. The last time at the Hongxiu gathering place, Yilin gave her a feeling that still lingers in her memory.

  Yilin only smiled and didn't speak, quietly placing her hand on top, then the smile on her face disappeared, followed by a slight frown, after a long time she let go of her hand and said: "Xiang Jie, you... your pulse is sometimes empty and sometimes solid, sometimes weak and sometimes strong, what kind of change caused this?"

  Qian Tong nodded without denying it.

  "Has your body been unusual in recent years?" Irina asked again.

  Qian Tong shook his head: "No, just can't be too impulsive."

  ”

  "Excuse me for asking, but Sister Xue, your body's five organs are all deficient, with insufficient qi and blood. From the look of your brow, I can see that cold air has entered your heart and penetrated to your bones. That's why you always feel cold in your limbs and fear the cold... When the weather turns cool, it will make you feel uncomfortable often?" Yilin asked.

  Xiang Qiong nodded without denying: "It may be related to poor rest and jet lag."

  Yilin nodded: "I'll write a list later and have someone decoct the Chinese medicine. You take it three times a day, which will help with your fear of cold."

  "Thank you, Yilin, but promise me one thing, don't tell Luochen about this." Xiang Qiantong's expression was calm and collected, as if he had known all along.

  Yilin nodded in understanding, but also reminded her: "Those raw and cold things you just ate, it's better to eat less of them in the future."

  Qian Tong smiled and nodded in response.

  Outside the rest room door, Si Luo Chen stood upright at the entrance with his head hung down, making it impossible to discern his expression. His fists gradually clenched tighter and tighter until his entire body was drained of all energy...

  The residence of the Squire's family.

  Fang Shanyu received a phone call and his expression was rarely calm: "Help me investigate clearly, when did he go missing."

  After hanging up the phone, Fang Shanyu paused for a moment, picked up the phone and called Si Ruo Nan: "Ruo Nan, Xiang Wentian is missing. Has his daughter returned?"

  ……

  "Call Lu Chen, I plan to go to Xishan for a hot spring. You guys come with me and bring Yilin and Qiantong along."

  ……

  "It's settled then."

  America, Xu's home.

  Shen Yue's injury has basically healed, but Wang Shaokui still hasn't woken up.

  "Shen, any news from Yan's side?" Shen Lüe was visibly impatient about this matter.

  At this time, Shen was holding a military knife and lowering his head to peel an apple. Hearing Shen's tone, he quickly peeled the spiral skin and took a bite: "Sister Lüe, you don't know that Yan has always been independent and unpredictable. However, she contacted me two days ago, and someone is eyeing Wen Tian's daughter."

  Shen Yue wore a black female suit today, and the scene of her tying a tie in front of the mirror with a cold face made Shen feel like she was dreaming. In her impression, Shen Yue rarely wore a black suit, even the shirt and tie were black, the only difference being that the base color had some layers. That waistline was slender, the body was concave and convex, and the long legs under the black trousers were straight and slender. Her short black hair was casually tossed back, exuding an elegant and capable temperament, handsome to the point where Shen, a woman who liked European-style handsome men, forgot to eat her apple.

  Shen roughly pulled up her sleeves and turned around to see Shen staring straight at her, asking faintly: "Is that it?"

  "Ah." Shěn, having composed himself, took another bite of his apple and continued: "She found Fāng Shuǎngyǔ, but Fāng Shuǎngyǔ was too clever. As for what you entrusted her with, she replied in a way that was equivalent to not replying at all. She plans to investigate on her own."

  Shen slightly expressionless turned around, looked at himself in the mirror, adjusted his collar before saying: "Shen, I'm going to the hospital for a bit."

  "Sister, why are you dressed so coolly when going to the hospital?" It's too cool! This kind of cold and proud woman, once wearing black, is simply cool enough to make a handsome guy stand aside.

  Shen Lue stepped on high heels, the corner of her mouth hooked: "By the way, go and make an appointment. Tell Yan that as long as you ensure their safety, other things will be arranged by themselves. As for Fang Shan Yu, I'll ask her myself. Besides..." Shen Lue seemed to have suddenly thought of something, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she stared at Shen.

  "Where is Xu Tai now?" Only she dared to call the big boss by his name.

  "It was in Britain for a while, but then it couldn't be found again. Older sister, you suspect..." Shen didn't dare to say the rest of her words.

  "I never believed him in the first place, where did this doubt come from?" Shen let out a cold laugh, causing Shen to immediately freeze up.

  "I never understood why he treated Wen Tian's daughter that way back then, but now that I think about it, there's nothing to be puzzled about." Shen said with a cold expression: "If someone from the Xu family asks you where I went, answer as you please, just don't say I went to the hospital."

  "Alright, got it, older sister."

  In Shen's eyes, after following Shen Luo for so many years, she should have understood her personality. Only today did she discover that she was actually a woman who couldn't be figured out.

  Her emotions change completely unpredictably, which one is really her?

  She never believed in the big boss, but is this consistent with what she told herself?

  Or... Shen Yue became more and more trusting of her?

  Shen affirmed this idea for himself and suddenly felt that the apples in his hand were much sweeter.

  The author has something to say: Shen Yue hasn't come out for a long time, and when she does, she's so handsome, I miss her. _(:3∠)_

  I also like to eat salmon, but girls really can't have too many raw and cold foods, so everyone should eat less, especially since there are a lot of parasites nowadays that aren't clean. Hmm.

  As for Qian Tong's body, I mentioned it at the beginning, but the span is a bit large, so I brought this matter out. I know I'm a bit slow, and I'll speed up the progress later.

  As for Yijia's affairs, there will be a small episode. No more nagging, continue to work hard and code~~~ A new day has begun. Love you guys.

  If there is a typo, you can tell me and I will correct it immediately.
