Chapter 371: Settling Things Amicably

Beauty Wu appeared at Wei Shuyis door in a gown.

Wei Shuyi opened the door and looked at the beautiful and charming woman. There was infatuation and calmness in his eyes.

Looking at you up close is even better than looking at you from afar, Wei Shuyi said.

When Beauty Wu heard this, she said, You saw us. Her tone was firm.

Yes. Wei Shuyi didnt hide anything.

Can we go in and talk?

Wei Shuyi hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

After entering his house, Beauty Wu sat on the sofa.

Wei Shuyi sat opposite her. He didnt pour her any water or speak. He just looked at her silently. His lips were straight and his gaze was cold.

His wanton gaze embarra.s.sed Beauty Wu.

Theres an agreement in the contract. On necessary occasions, I have to accompany him to attend some necessary events as Mr. Donglis female companion. Today is the 30th anniversary of Long Xiao Entertainment. I accompanied him because of work.

Wei Shuyi listened quietly without saying a word.

Beauty Wu could not tell what he was thinking. She was not confident and was a little irritated. She asked him, What exactly are you thinking? Are you suspecting me? Or

One night, I called you. You said that Dongli Shenghua was at work and was going to see a client. You werent free. Wei Shuyi suddenly mentioned something unrelated to today.

Beauty Wu could not follow his train of thought.

She thought about it, remembered that there was such a thing, and nodded. Yes.

Wei Shuyi saw her calm expression and laughed self-deprecatingly.

What are you laughing at? Beauty Wu didnt like Wei Shuyis smile. It felt especially fake and made her heart ache.

Wei Shuyi looked at her puzzled face and said, But when I called you, I just left Dragon Harbor.

Beauty Wu frowned.

Wei Shuyi continued, You told me that Mr. Dongli was in his office, but I saw him and his son running a few minutes ago when I called you.

Beauty Wus expression changed slightly as panic flashed across her face.

Wei Shuyis expression was a little malicious.

He saw Beauty Wus uneasiness and felt depressed.

Youre avoiding me.

He was sad not because Beauty Wu had accompanied the Dongli Shenghua to the banquet, but because she was avoiding him.

In the past month, ever since I was discharged, weve only had three video calls, six phone calls, and sixty-five text messages He seemed to be embarra.s.sed. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the wild plant in the corner. He said, We havent seen each other once.

When Beauty Wu heard him recount the events of the past month in a calm tone, her heart ached.

Im sorry.

She said silently in her heart.

Wei Shuyi took a deep breath and looked back at her face.

He said, Beauty, were both adults. Im not stupid. Dont worry.

Beauty Wus lips moved for a while before she agreed.

I only have one question for you.

Beauty Wu looked at him silently and said softly, Ask away.

Wei Shuyi sat upright with a neat and elegant posture. He tried his best to not look too shabby.

He asked, Whether you love me or not Just answer in one sentence. If you still love me, Ill take it that youve been too tired recently. If you dont love me, then He lowered his eyes and looked at his hands on his knees. Those hands were very beautiful. Beauty Wu had praised them for being beautiful and they had once touched her skin.

Perhaps from the moment he asked this question, his hands would lose the right to touch Beauty Wu.

However, he still chose to be direct.

Then lets leave peacefully.

They parted on good terms. These four words had the power to stab at Beauty Wus heart, leaving a b.l.o.o.d.y wound.

Her back, which she had tried hard to straighten, finally collapsed.

Leaning back against the sofa, Beauty Wu found her strength. She seemed to have thought for a long time before saying to Wei Shuyi, I I dont know. I just feel tired and Im not in the mood to do anything She couldnt bear to really say something hurtful when they broke up, so she said, I think we might need to calm down for a while.

Wei Shuyi nodded and said calmly, Okay.

After saying that, he looked up and said to Beauty Wu, You can go back first.

Beauty Wu didnt know how she walked out of Wei Shuyis house.

She didnt realize what had happened until she returned to her house and closed the door behind her. She stared into the darkness of the room.

She personally pushed the person she loved the furthest away.

Leaning back against the crowd, Beauty Wu slid to the ground. She wanted to cry, but she couldnt.

She hugged her legs and buried her head between them.

Brother.

Brother

A low murmur kept coming from her mouth, and it actually became a straw to clutch at.

The next day at work, Wei Shuyi prescribed the wrong medicine for a patient. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and immediately corrected it. He had an operation in the afternoon and knew that his condition was not good. He had no choice but to look for Elder Xu.

Teacher, Im not confident about the surgery this afternoon.

Elder Xu thought that his old illness had acted up.

Whats wrong? Your hands are trembling again? Elder Xus tone was a little serious.

This could happen over and over again?

Wei Shuyi felt a little guilty. He tilted his head and said in a low voice, Im not in the right state today.

Elder Xu narrowed his eyes and examined him. After a moment, he said, Do you think youre qualified to be a cardiovascular surgeon?

Wei Shuyi raised his head and looked at Elder Xu. For the first time, there was confusion in his eyes.

Elder Xu added, Youre a doctor. Youre responsible for saving people. If feelings can influence your emotions and cause you to be unable to hold a scalpel, then I advise you not to do this. Youre more suitable to return to school to be a teacher.

Elder Xus words were neither harsh nor soft. When Wei Shuyi heard this, he revealed a vexed expression.

Its my fault. Thank you, Teacher.

At this moment, Elder Xu could no longer teach Wei Shuyi practical things.

However, he was older than Wei Shuyi. He could not teach him medical knowledge, but he could teach him human knowledge.

When Wei Shuyi walked out of Elder Xus office, he realized for the first time that he was still not qualified. Compared to elders like Elder Xu, he still had many things to learn about medicine.

In the afternoon, Wei Shuyi spent some time sorting out his emotions and entered the operating theater.

He was a person who was good at regulating his emotions. Even though what happened last night made him depressed for a day, when he really entered the operating theater and saw the patient who had lost consciousness on the operating table, he quickly calmed down. The patient had given his life to him, but he had almost given up on this surgery because of his love. He was indeed not qualified.

In terms of responsibility, Beauty Wu was more responsible than Wei Shuyi.

On this day, Beauty Wu was still dutifully at work. In the morning, she would check Dongli Shenghuas car regularly to confirm that everything was safe before accompanying him to the company. She would check every place beforehand to see if there were any safety hazards.

Even though she was in a bad mood, she was still cautious and not distracted.

Pan Jie, who was usually quiet, changed his att.i.tude towards Beauty Wu when he saw how careful she was. Now that they were working together, Pan Jie would even talk to her.

On this day, Dongli Shenghua had a meal with a few big shots. During the meal, a few female celebrities and male celebrities accompanied him. The scene was especially ambiguous.

After the meal, Dongli Shenghua drank a few gla.s.ses of wine and seemed a little drunk.

On the way home, he received a call. In a daze, he said to the person opposite him, Give me the last day at the end of the month.

In the front row, Beauty Wu remained expressionless when she heard this.

After hanging up the phone, Dongli Shenghua tugged at his tie and rolled down the window.

When he reached home, Beauty Wu escorted him back to his room and prepared to get off work.

At this moment, Dongli Shenghua suddenly held her hand and pretended to push her onto the sofa. Beauty Wu immediately reacted and quickly stretched out her legs. She hooked her legs and exerted strength on her upper arms, pressing Dongli Shenghua onto the sofa.

Seeing that he did not succeed and was instead tricked, Dongli Shenghua revealed a surprised expression.

Miss Wus reaction speed is really fast.

Beauty Wus elbow was still pressed against his chest. She sneered and warned him, My job is to protect you, not to flirt with you or sleep with you. With that, she let go of his hand and got up to leave.

Behind him, Dongli Shenghua suddenly said annoyingly, Did you guys break up?

Was it that obvious?

She turned around and looked at him speechlessly with a puzzled gaze.

Dongli Shenghua said, You were absent-minded many times today. You touched your phone repeatedly, but you didnt call or text me. You ate one bowl less than usual and only ate the portion in front of you. Theres something wrong with you. Mr. Wei seems to be the only one who can affect you. Thinking about how he saw you accompanying me to Long Xiaos anniversary yesterday, its obvious that you two broke up. Or rather, you two had a conflict.

Dongli Shenghuas logic was clear and he did not seem like a drunk person.

When Beauty Wu heard his a.n.a.lysis, her expression did not change, but an alarm rang in her heart.

This person was really observant.

He was actually quite busy today. Most of the time, he was dealing with work or talking to someone. Despite this, he could still see her every move.
