“Bingo! Knew I wouldn’t be able to hide anything from the great Dr. Jiang!”
He gave him an obsequious smile and flattered him to the skies.
Jiang Beiyuan blandly rolled his eyes.
He was no stranger to such a method as he had experienced it before.
His slender hand tore off a corner of the bun and, just as expected, inside it was a gleaming check.
There were six zeros behind the number “one.”
It was filled with Xu Kuangjie’s sincerity.
He truly knew that he was in the wrong and was afraid that his buddy would seek dark revenge against him.
Alas, the other party merely snorted and threw the check to the ground right away.
“Sissies don’t need money.”
He was at the end of his wits. “…”
“Hey, hey. I’m truly at fault here. I’m the sissy and you’re the ancestor, alright?”
Honestly speaking, Jiang Beiyuan did not at all lack this million yuan.
He had the support of a vast business empire behind him, and its capital chain far exceeded that of his friend’s company.
“Rest assured, I’ve already told that brat off and he has promised me not to confess to your wife. So, please give me this face, accept this money, and don’t make things difficult for that cousin of mine.”
As soon as he finished speaking, they suddenly heard a rapping sound on the door.
A young nurse entered the room and looked at the doctor. “Dr. Jiang, someone’s looking for you.”
He cocked a quizzical brow at her.
Understanding what that look meant, she smiled and said, “This lady is different. Why don’t you take a look at who it is first before refusing to meet? She’s a very pure and graceful young lady.”
“Our Dr. Jiang has much luck with women. The ladies are all obsessed with him.”
Xu Kuangjie picked up an orange from the desk and toyed with it carelessly.
He was waiting to receive his friend’s forgiveness. Otherwise, he had nothing to do there.
Jiang Beiyuan was about to say “as usual, nope” when his phone suddenly vibrated.
It turned out to be a message from Yan Nian.
“I want to see you.”
He stiffened in surprise for a moment.
His eyes instantly softened as he stared fixedly at those five words.
The nurse looked at that exceedingly handsome face with jaded black orbs and a warm smile.
That message, whose sender was unknown, actually made this aloof and indifferent doctor smile in rapture.
“So, Dr. Jiang, are you meeting that lady?”
“Let her in.”
“Oh, alright.”
And so, she just left the office, not daring to ask anything more despite her curiosity.
…
When Yan Nian entered the office, her head was hanging down low, her face was red, and her long eyelashes were drooping and trembling like a butterfly’s fluttering wings.
Half her hair was tied into a top knot, and she was wearing an off-shoulder three-quarter-sleeved blouse, which showed off her smooth and beautiful shoulders, as well as her fair and glowing collarbones.
“Erm… I-I’m here… to devote my body to you.”
After mustering up all her courage to force out the last part of the sentence, she held her breath and hung her head low with all her might.
Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.
Eh?
This voice doesn’t sound right!
She hastily looked up, only to see Xu Kuangjie’s pretentious coughing face.
Yan Nian: “…”
Oh, gosh!
I thought Jiang Beiyuan is here alone!
Can I please go back in time?
Can God give me another chance? I won’t act so recklessly like an idiot and spout such silly and nonsensical words!
Jiang Beiyuan: “Leave.”
She hung her head low and touched her nose. “…Okay.”
Knowing that she had behaved foolishly, she felt embarrassed to no end…
She turned around to leave but was stopped.
“I’m asking you to leave.”
Jiang Beiyuan’s eyes were on his friend and he appeared especially displeased.
The other man’s schadenfreude had completely irked him.
“I’ll leave, instead! I-I’m fine! Pretend I didn’t say anything at all!”
She would feel even more embarrassed should the other man leave!
At this moment, a phone rang in a timely manner.
It was hers.
On the other end, He Huaiguang’s helpless voice came through. “Xiao Nian, something bad has happened. The flower shop is in trouble…”
