Chapter 360: I Plan to Propose to Her

Jiaren Wu had parked her motorcycle in the garage of the Dongli Shenghua house.

She tied her suitcase to the back of the motorcycle and drove to Wei Shuyis hospital. After parking the motorcycle in the parking lot outside the hospital, she went to the inpatient department. Entering the elevator, she pressed the cardiovascular ward floor.

Ding Dong!

Jiaren Wu walked out of the elevator and went toward Wei Shuyis office.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

She stopped in her tracks and took out her phone. Seeing that the message was from Dongli Shenghua, she quickly opened it.

Mr. Dongli: [Miss Wu, Xiao Ao and I like you.]

Jiaren Wus expression changed.

Wei Shuyi had just walked out of his office when he saw Jiaren Wu.

She was wearing a black outfit. It was obvious that she had just returned to the country and had not even gone home to change her clothes before coming to the hospital. Wei Shuyi was a little happy and strode toward her.

Jiaren.

Hearing Wei Shuyis voice, Jiaren Wu quickly put away her phone and looked up, panic flas.h.i.+ng across her face.

Wei Shuyi was stunned. Whats wrong? You seem to be scared?

Jiaren Wu shook her head and stuffed her phone into her pocket as if nothing had happened.

Do you have water in your office? Im so thirsty. I havent had any water on the plane.

Yes.

After bringing her back to the office, Wei Shuyi saw her drinking half a bottle of mineral water. He could not help but say to her, Drink slowly. Dont drink too fast.

Only then did Jiaren Wu put down the bottle of water.

She touched the corner of her mouth and wiped off the water droplets before asking Wei Shuyi, Youre not working overtime today, right?

No.

Then well go out to dinner tonight.

Okay.

I need to make a trip to the ward. You stay here for a while.

Okay.

When Jiaren Wu saw that Wei Shuyi had left without seeing the contents of the message, she finally relaxed.

Then, she quickly took out her phone and deleted the message.

What exactly is Dongli Shenghua planning to do?

Wei Shuyi had gone to the ward. When he returned to his office, he saw that Jiaren Wu was still waiting for him inside. He couldnt help but smile as he walked over to her and asked, What are you doing?

Jiaren Wu waved the phone in her hand and said, Im checking what present I should prepare for my boyfriend on Chinese Valentines Day.

Wei Shuyi was quite interested in this topic.

He placed a hand on Jiaren Wus shoulder and leaned against her. The two of them were very close to each other. He whispered into her ear, What are you planning to give me? How about you give yourself to me? His voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e. He was definitely doing it on purpose.

Are you seducing me? Her voice was so low that it sounded s.e.xy.

She had always been the one seducing Wei Shuyi. Now that the roles had changed, Jiaren Wu felt a little uncomfortable.

When she seduced Wei Shuyi, she was an experienced woman.

When it was Wei Shuyis turn to seduce her, she became innocent.

When Wei Shuyi saw that Jiaren Wus ears were slightly red, his eyes flashed. He didnt know that she had moments of shyness. Are you going to give it to me then? As he said this, the hidden emotions in his voice became even richer, and his voice became even more charming.

Jiaren Wu felt her bones melt.

Yes, yes Im willing to give you anything you want. Even if you want to see the bottom of the West Lake, I can scoop it dry with my bare hands.

After being stunned for a second, Wei Shuyi said, Thats illegal.

Jiaren Wu rubbed her earlobe and fell silent.

She spent another 40 minutes with him in the office before it was time to knock off.

The two of them got off work together and b.u.mped into Yuan Jun at the end of the corridor. Wei Shuyi grabbed Yuan Juns hand and said to him, Lets change s.h.i.+fts on the 25th. I want to rest.

Yuan Jun let out an ah, looking confused. He said, But I also planned to rest that day.

Wei Shuyi was surprised and asked him, You have something to do?

Yuan Jun answered, I asked Li Er and the rest to go fis.h.i.+ng.

Wei Shuyi patted Yuan Jun on the shoulder and said to him, Just do it another day. Why do you have a date with a bunch of men on Chinese Valentines Day? When you have a girlfriend in the future, well change s.h.i.+fts. You can continue working on the 25th.

So what if Im single? If Im single, why cant I rest? Yuan Jun was furious and triggered. Wei Shuyi, dont make it sound like youre so great just because you have a girlfriend! Youve been single for 29 years. Im only 26 years old now. I might have a girlfriend next month. Its still uncertain who will be single for a longer time!

Wei Shuyi said, Then you should find a girlfriend next month.

You..

Yuan Jun was furious. With a flick of his sleeve, he left the adulterous couple and ran to Elder Xus office.

Elder Xu was also preparing to get off work. When he saw his little disciple, he was a little surprised.

What are you doing? Who p.i.s.sed you off?

Yuan Jun jumped onto his teachers table and complained to him. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Wei Shuyi

Call him senior brother.

He and his girlfriend bullied me because I am single. The two of them want to go out on Chinese Valentines Day, and he asked me to take his s.h.i.+ft! The more Yuan Jun spoke, the angrier he got. He continued, I already agreed to go fis.h.i.+ng with Li Er and the rest. Now, its all over!

Elder Xu packed his things while listening to his complaints.

After Yuan Jun finished complaining, Elder Xu asked, Was he wrong?

Mm? Yuan Jun was stunned.

Elder Xu added, Youre single. If youre capable, go find a girlfriend. If you cant find a girlfriend, you deserve to replace him.

Master, were both your disciples. You cant be so biased!

Elder Xu scoffed. No, Im not biased. I have no feelings for you.

Master, I dont love you anymore.

Elder Xu took off his white coat and put on his short-sleeved coat. He picked up his bag and was about to leave. When he reached the door, he turned back and asked Yuan Jun, My wife stewed pork ribs and kelp today. She even steamed hairy crabs. Are you coming?

The person who was shouting at the elder that he didnt love him immediately jumped down from the table and ran behind him. Yes, Ill go pack up. Master, wait for me at the underground parking lot.

***

In the elevator to get to the underground parking lot, Jiaren Wu asked Wei Shuyi, Will Yuan Jun agree to replace you?

Yes.

I think hes already angry. He wouldnt, would he?

You dont understand him. Wei Shuyis eyes flashed with warmth and laughter. Ah Jun may look angry, but I know him. He has already agreed.

Jiaren Wu recalled how pitiful Yuan Jun looked when Wei Shuyi bullied him and said, You should treat him better too. I think Yuan Jun is quite cute. How can you bear to bully him?

He looks like he needs to be bullied.

After exiting the elevator, Wei Shuyi pulled Jiaren Wu toward his car. However, Jiaren Wu said, My motorcycle is parked in front, and my luggage is still at the pharmacy. I need to drive my motorcycle back. Ill go to your place to change first, then we can go out for dinner together.

Okay.

Once Wei Shuyi released his hand, Jiaren Wu turned around and left.

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed again. Jiaren Wu turned around as Wei Shuyi pulled her into his embrace.

He pressed her against the hood of a car. Lowering his head, he then kissed her lips.

After not seeing him for a few days, Jiaren Wu also missed him a lot. She quickly responded to him.

Cough cough!

The moment Elder Xu stepped out of the elevator, he saw such a fiery scene. He felt a little embarra.s.sed.

Wei Shuyi quickly let go of Jiaren Wu, and both of them greeted him. Jiaren Wu quickly slipped away. Elder Xu watched as Jiaren Wu slipped away before walking to Wei Shuyis side. He glanced at him and asked, When do you plan to get married?

Wei Shuyi felt awkward.

He looked around before staring at the ground in front of him.

He stared at that piece of land; he could stare at it until a hole formed on the ground.

Not this year. Maybe next year.

Elder Xu asked again, Is she willing?

I dont know. Wei Shuyi looked up with a firm gaze. He said, I plan to propose to her.

Not bad.

Standing on his tiptoes, Elder Xu patted Wei Shuyis shoulder and said, When you two get married, my wife and I will give you a big red packet.

Sure.

As he spoke, Yuan Jun also came down.

Yuan Jun ignored Wei Shuyi, called Elder Xu, and drove away.

Wei Shuyi drove the car out of the parking lot. Seeing Jiaren Wu waiting at the side, he rolled down the window and called out to her, Stay in front of me.

Okay.

The hospital wasnt far from Wei Shuyis house. It took them only twenty minutes to reach his house.

At home, Wei Shuyi helped Jiaren Wu carry her luggage upstairs. As soon as they entered the house, Jiaren Wu opened the luggage and went to change her clothes to take a shower. When she came out of the shower, she saw Wei Shuyi staring at her luggage in a daze. She looked over and saw the black evening gown in the luggage. Her heart skipped a beat.

Brother Wei. She seemed to like calling him brother when she was anxious and panicked.

Wei Shuyi looked up at her with a complicated expression.

Jiaren Wu panicked and hurried over. She held Wei Shuyis hand and told him the origin of the dress.

He wanted you to have dinner with him?

Yes.

There seemed to be a flash of deep thought in the mans hazel eyes.

Seeing this, Jiaren Wu thought that he was angry and said, The person I like is you.

I know.

Wei Shuyi didnt doubt Jiaren Wus sincerity.

He was more concerned about something else. You just had a meal together?

Jiaren Wu didnt plan on hiding the truth from Wei Shuyi. She told Wei Shuyi about the incident when Dongli Shenghua confessed to her.

Wei Shuyi felt uncomfortable.

He said to Jiaren Wu, Let me be alone.

Okay.

Wei Shuyi stood up and walked to the balcony. He sat on the birdcage chair.

He looked at the pot with the wild lily in the corner, but in his heart, he was thinking about Dongli Shenghua.

He likes Jiaren?

This possibility infuriated Wei Shuyi.

However, this was not what worried Wei Shuyi the most. He was more concerned about Dongli Shenghuas true motive. If he only had feelings for Jiaren, it would only add to Wei Shuyis distress and not cause trouble for Jiaren. If Dongli Shenghua wanted to harm her while pretending to like her, what should he do?

Dongli Shenghua was a drug lord.

Jiaren was a cop.

Would a drug lord easily say he liked a woman who was previously a police officer?

Wei Shuyi didnt believe it.

Almost as soon as Wei Shuyi stood up, Jiaren Wu followed suit.

Brother Wei, she said, looking at him uneasily.

Wei Shuyi did not criticize her and only asked, Jiaren, can you change your job?

Jiaren Wu hurriedly asked, You dont believe me?

No.

Then Jiaren Wu thought for a while and said, He wont affect our relations.h.i.+p.

Hearing this, Wei Shuyi walked over. He lowered his eyes and looked at Jiaren Wus face, which could move his heart with just a glance. Sighing, he said, Im just worried about you.

Jiaren Wu was stunned.

Why are you worried about me? Its not like he can eat me. Jiaren Wu had a faint smile on her face, but she was wondering if Wei Shuyi knew something.

Seeing Jiaren Wus reaction, Wei Shuyi began to suspect that she had ulterior motives for approaching Dongli Shenghua.

He was worried about Jiaren Wus situation.

Jiaren, you have your reasons. I understand. He wanted to smile more freely, but he realized that he couldnt do it. He hugged Jiaren Wu and tightly pressed her into his embrace. Jiaren Wu heard him say softly, But I only have you. You must be well. Dont abandon me after I fall in love with you.

Jiaren Wus heart was in pain.

At that moment, she almost threw everything aside and got together with Wei Shuyi.

However, this thought lasted for only a second before she suppressed it.

Besides love, many other things in this world were worth protecting as well.

What happened to Wu Jiacheng also happened to thousands of children.

Captain Huang, Lei Zi, Big Brother Yun, who was forced to betray his brother, and Tang Kemiao, who was only sixteen but was poisoned

Everyones faces flashed past Jiaren Wus eyes.

Her wavering heart instantly became firm.

Brother Wei, thats enough. Lets not talk about this anymore. Ill return this to Mr. Dongli next time I go to work.

Jiaren Wus voice sounded very light, but Wei Shuyi felt his chest tighten.

In the end, he still couldnt bear to be completely cruel to her.

He could wilfully ask her to change jobs, but he restrained himself.

Just like Jiaren Wu had said, loving someone meant fulfilling her wish. She had her own goals in life, and Wei Shuyi shouldnt stop her.

The two of them went out for dinner together, and the atmosphere was a little quiet.

When they returned home, the two of them lay on the bed and did not do anything else. They had been separated for many days, and everyone said that parting made the heart grow fonder, but these two had different dreams.
