Chapter 673 The Truth Behind Their Dating (2)
When the call between Xiao Yunyun and Qin Han ended, the taxi just arrived in front of the hotel.
She paid the bill and got out of the car, just in time to meet Shen Yuechuan.
It was strange that she didn’t feel anything before. But now, every move of Shen Yuechuan suddenly became extremely charming in her eyes.
The moment he got out of the car, the moment he closed the door, and even every movement of his exuded a kind of fatal attraction. He looked so free and unrestrained that she couldn’t help being obsessed with him.
When thinking about it carefully, she found that he had been single for a long time…
“Something doesn’t seem right. It’s not Shen Yuechuan’s usual style!”
“What are you looking at?” Shen Yuechuan walked straight toward Xiao Yunyun. “Do you not dare to believe that such a handsome man is your brother?”
Xiao Yunyun nodded and then corrected his words. “I’m really happy, but I’m happy for you!”
Shen Yuechuan looked interested. “Why are you happy for me?”
“Because you have a smart and beautiful younger sister now!” Xiao Yunyun said seriously, “To be honest, I envy you!”
Shen Yuechuan snorted and scolded her with a smile, “You wicked girl.”
He dragged Xiao Yunyun directly into the hotel.
The manager heard that Shen Yuechuan had reserved a table, so he came out to wait. Seeing him come in with a young girl, he thought it was his new girlfriend. When he was about to compliment Xiao Yunyun, Shen Yuechuan had already spoken first.
“It’s my sister.”
Previously, he had never heard that Shen Yuechuan had such a beautiful younger sister.
However, Shen Yuechuan, who was a VIP, was treated as God in the hotel—since he was God, he would never be wrong.
The manager greeted Xiao Yunyun and led them into the private room.
Su Yunjin didn’t reach the hotel yet, so Xiao Yunyun boldly teased Shen Yuechuan. “The man we met just now thought I was your girlfriend, didn’t he?”
“…”
Since it had been seen through, there seemed to be no point in denying it.
Shen Yuechuan motioned for the waiter in the private room to leave and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yunyun in person. “That is to say, the manager here is shortsighted. You are my girlfriend—Is my taste so bad?”
“…” Xiao Yunyun almost choked on the tea she had just drunk. She put down the cup and glared at Shen Yuechuan. “Believe it or not, I’ll spit the tea on you!”
Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrows and replied leisurely, “I don’t believe it.”
As the two of them were provoking each other, Su Yunjin arrived.
Xiao Yunyun immediately calmed down and called Su Yunjin, “Mom.”
“What are you shouting for?” Su Yunjin sat down and looked at Xiao Yunyun seriously. “I heard your voice from afar.”
“Ahem!” Xiao Yunyun took a sip of tea with guilt and squinted with a smile. “We were just playing.”
Su Yunjin scolded her in a low voice, “You’re just taking advantage of your young age.”
Xiao Yunyun sneered and said meaningfully, “The age gap is not a problem. There is a person here who specializes in bullying young people!”
Shen Yuechuan passed the menu to Su Yunjin and gave Xiao Yunyun a contemptuous look. “I don’t want to talk to you.”
Xiao Yunyun turned her head and snorted. “I don’t want to see you!”
Su Yunjin couldn’t stop Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun’s banter. The dinner went along just like that.
When they left the hotel, neither Shen Yuechuan nor Xiao Yunyun had the desire to talk to each other.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Su Yunjin said tentatively, “Yuechuan, you should take Yunyun back to her apartment. My residence is close. I’ll just take a taxi back.”
“That’s unnecessary.” Without waiting for Shen Yuechuan to speak, Xiao Yunyun refused directly. “Mom, let him give you a ride. I would rather take a taxi than sit in his car!”
“Yunyun!” Su Yunjin reminded her seriously, “Yuechuan is your brother!”
“So what?” Xiao Yunyun didn’t take it seriously at all. She complained, “We don’t get along well!”
Shen Yuechuan came over, raised his hand, knocked on Xiao Yunyun’s head, and stopped a taxi to tuck her in.
Xiao Yunyun rolled down the car window, covered her forehead in pain, and poked her head out. She looked at Shen Yuechuan and said angrily, “Keep in mind what you did today!”
Shen Yuechuan put his hands on the top of the car and leaned over to look at Xiao Yunyun leisurely. “I remember. What can you do to me?”
Now, Xiao Yunyun really couldn’t do anything to Shen Yuechuan.
“You’d better not fall into my hands!”
Xiao Yunyun angrily rolled up the window and asked the driver to drive.
The green taxi soon went far away. Su Yunjin then asked Shen Yuechuan, “Have you and Yunyun been like this all the time?”
“We’ve been like this since the first day we met.” Shen Yuechuan smiled helplessly. “We may… have to keep quarreling until she grows up.”
Su Yunjin was stunned for a moment and then smiled. “Yunyun… hasn’t grown up yet. When she applied to go abroad, I did not agree to let her go and be an exchange student if she didn’t apply to stay in City A where Yicheng could take care of her.”
“… If you need to go back to Australia, you can go without worries,” Shen Yuechuan said, “Though I quarrel with Yunyun occasionally, I’ll take good care of her if anything bad happens.”
“I actually need to go back.” After thinking for a while, Su Yunjin continued, “I’ll come back after handing over the company’s affairs.”
Shen Yuechuan, who had been in the business world for a long time, suddenly grasped the main point. “Hand over?”
Su Yunjin nodded and said, “Yes, I’m going to resign from my position in the company. In this case, even if I can go back to Australia, I won’t be in the mood to work.”
If Shen Yuechuan remembered correctly, Su Yunjin was the CFO of the company, and her ability was completely worthy of this position. As the chairman of the board, Xiao Guoshan was very dependent on her.
Would Xiao Guoshan agree to her resignation?
Su Yunjin could tell what Shen Yuechuan was worried about. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Yunyun’s father will support my decision.”
It was Su Yunjin’s business, so it was not appropriate for Shen Yuechuan to intervene. He nodded and sent Su Yunjin back to her apartment.
On the other side, Xiao Yunyun was also on her way back to her apartment.
Unlike the time when she was arguing with Shen Yuechuan, as soon as the taxi left the hotel, she was exhausted. She curled up in the corner of the taxi, like a little animal that had been hurt and forgotten.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want Shen Yuechuan to offer her a ride home.
On the contrary, she was eager to be alone with Shen Yuechuan. She was eager to smell his scent closely as before.
However, she was more terrified.
She was afraid that she would fail to hide her feelings in front of Shen Yuechuan without Su Yunjin’s presence.
She was afraid that she would fail to control herself and hug Shen Yuechuan, telling him that everything was fake, and the person she really liked was him.
If she really couldn’t control herself, then everything she had done in the past would be in vain.
“To be more secure, I’d better go home alone.”
When you’re alone, even if you’re in so much pain that you don’t want to live, no one will see it.
“I’ll go back and have a good sleep. Everything will be fine when I wake up tomorrow.”
It turned out that Xiao Yunyun was still too optimistic.
She was awake all night just like the night before.
The difference was that the next day was Monday. No matter what, she had to get up and go back to work in the hospital.
When she was washing up, Xiao Yunyun checked herself in the mirror. Her face looked terrible, so she had to go back to her room and put on some light makeup.
Xiao Yunyun had fair skin, and she had hardly put on makeup since her internship began. One sharp-eyed female colleague found that Xiao Yunyun was wearing makeup today, so she joked. “Yunyun, are you in a relationship?”
Xiao Yunyun was confused. “Why do you ask?”
“Don’t play dumb.” Her colleague stared at Xiao Yunyun with a smile. “If you’re not in a relationship, why did you put on makeup?”
“…Wow, what kind of logic is this?”
Xiao Yunyun smiled bitterly in her heart.
How could she tell them? The truth was exactly the opposite of what they had guessed—she was broken in love.
However, she really didn’t have the energy to argue with her colleagues, so she sat down and began to work.
Since she couldn’t be in love, she should use the time to work hard!
Only after a day’s work did Xiao Yunyun realize that she had overestimated herself.
She had thought that she could work hard, but she had been making mistakes all day.
It could only be counted as small mistakes that she was distracted when listening to the doctors’ lecture and made the wrong patients’ medical records erroneous. What was really serious was that she almost gave the patients the wrong drugs
If she hadn’t reacted in time, something extremely terrible might have happened today, and her career would have been ruined.
After work, Dr. Liang finally asked her, “Yunyun, what ‘s the matter with you today?”
“Doctor Liang, I’m sorry.” Xiao Yunyun apologized in a low voice. “I’m not in a good state. I’ll try my best to adjust myself.”
Dr. Liang had never shown any mercy when it came to working. He warned, “I’ll give you one night. If you act like this tomorrow, you probably won’t be able to graduate.”
Xiao Yunyun nodded. “I will definitely be better!”
As soon as she got home in the evening, Xiao Yunyun took a shower early and lay on the bed, but she couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She could only watch the sky turn dark into dawn.
The next day, not only did Xiao Yunyun fail in adjusting herself, but her condition was even worse. A patient even complained about her. In the end, it was Dr. Liang who took her to apologize in person to calm the patient down.
Needless to hear Dr. Liang’s warning, Xiao Yunyun knew by herself that she wouldn’t be able to graduate if things went on like this.
After work, Xiao Yunyun contacted the psychology doctor, got a prescription, and went home with a bottle of sleeping pills from the hospital.
She was a doctor, so she naturally knew that sleeping pills could make people dependent on them. But she was completely clear-headed when it was one during midnight, and the whole city was quiet. So she finally realized that she had lost sleep.
Moreover, this was already the fourth day.
If things went on like this, she would not be able to survive, not to mention graduation.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t think about it anymore. She got up and poured a cup of warm water and took a piece of Stilnox.
For the first time, her body had not yet developed resistance to the drug, and it quickly worked in her body. She finally lost consciousness and fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, Xiao Yunyun felt dizzy and thought that the world would really change after one grew up.
She had never thought that she would be unhappy.
But now, she felt that the place where she breathed seemed to be blocked by something, and every breath made her heart ache.
She also had never thought that she would lose sleep.
However, she had already reached the point where she needed sleeping pills…
“It’s already so terrible. Will it get worse?”
