Chapter Thirty-Eight: Deep-Aged Makes You Hurt Twice
Tang Manman came out of the bathroom wrapped in moisture, and his originally fair cheeks were flushed.
The man followed her, a faint smile on his lips, the sleeves of his shirt rolled up high, and obvious water stains could be seen on his clothes.
"Sir, Doctor Gu is here." The housekeeper's knock came through the door panel, Ji Shennian answered, stuffed the little woman into the quilt, and covered it tightly, so that the people outside could come in.
Gu Ran was still wearing a white coat, with a faint smell of disinfection unique to the hospital, and he looked like he had just been dragged off the operating table.
"Why are you hurt again?" Gu Ran's gaze circled between Tang Manman and Ji Shennian, and finally fell on Ji Shennian's body, "Since when did it become so dangerous to be your girlfriend?" β
"Not a girlfriend." Ji Shennian slightly sideways to get out of the way, but still didn't leave the bedside, "It's my fiancΓ©e." β
Gu Ran's inspection action paused almost invisibly, a flash of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he asked half-jokingly, "You just treated your fiancΓ©e like this?" What about the engagement ceremony? β
Ji Shennian raised his chin arrogantly and replied indifferently, "Under arrangement." β
Tang Manman was shocked and looked at the man in some surprise.
Ji Shennian rejected her proposal to be simple before, she thought that the two would have a fake wedding at most, but she didn't expect that there would be an engagement ceremony.
Sensing her gaze, Ji Shennian glanced at her almost invisibly from the corner of his eye, without explanation.
As the chief surgeon, Gu Ran's bandaging technique is naturally speechless.
Tang Manman's injury this time was indeed not very serious, but the bruises left by Mr. Li on her body looked shocking.
During this period, Ji Shennian went out on a trip, and it seemed that he had a very important call to answer.
"In less than a month, deep years have injured you twice." Gu Ran frowned as he packed up the medicine box, with a complaint that he didn't even notice in his words.
Tang Manman withdrew his gaze from Ji Shennian's disappearing back in some surprise, then shook his head lightly and replied, "It's not Mr. Ji's fault, it's my own carelessness." β
"Mr. Ji?" Gu Ran straightened up, his hands in the pockets of his white coat, "You're all going to get engaged, and the title is still so rusty?" β
She was in a hurry to explain to Ji Shennian, but she was in a hurry and forgot the question of the title.
Tang Manman was panicked and embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"I'm just asking casually, don't take it personally." Gu Ran chuckled lightly, breaking the somewhat stiff atmosphere, "These are external medicines, with the ones I gave you last time, the bruises will disappear in about three days." β
"If there's anything uncomfortable, call me."
Tang Manman breathed a sigh of relief, smiled back, wrote down the doctor's instructions, and thanked the other party.
On the other side, in the study on the opposite side of the same floor as the bedroom, Tang Nian fidgeted and looked at the man opposite.
The original delicate makeup on her face was a mess, her hair was piled up like weeds on the back of her head, and her clothes were stained with many unknown stains, completely missing her usual glamorous appearance.
One left and one right, two documents were placed in front of her.
"Miss Tang, please read the following detailed terms, if there is no problem, please sign." Secretary Li opened his mouth publicly, and his voice was indifferent.
Tang Nianqing shuddered unconsciously, she subconsciously wanted to pull her hair, and after reaching out her hand, she remembered her embarrassment at this time, so she could only withdraw her hand in embarrassment, "What do you mean?" β
"Mr. Ji, I don't understand, why did you arrest me suddenly?" Tang Nian spoke calmly, but her momentum of "biting back" became weaker and weaker under Ji Shennian's cold gaze, and finally only turned into a weak inquiry, "Yes, did Tang Manman ask you to do this?" β
Ji Shennian didn't answer, and even the indifferent expression on his face didn't change for half a minute.
Secretary Li on the side seemed to have expected Tang Nianqing to have such a reaction, so he opened the video on the tablet without hurry and handed it to Tang Nianqing.
In the video, Mr. Li, who was extremely disheveled, made a scream that made her chill all over her face with a red and purple face. Suddenly, Tang Nian was as light as falling into an ice cellar.
"No, Mr. Ji, you must not listen to his demagoguery, and don't care about my business. It was he who thought about me differently, and then he didn't know how to know my sister. β
"He forced me, I don't want to ...... like this"
Damn it!
She did a lot of calculations, but she didn't expect that Ji Shennian would arrive so soon. Just a little bit, she can ruin Tang Manman. Tang Nianqing shrank his head and shouted "panic" to explain, while complaining hatefully.
"This is a global endorsement contract for a luxury brand." A wrinkle of disgust floated on the corner of Ji Shennian's forehead, and he said in a cold voice, "This is a liver transplant consent form." β
Tang Nian's shouting stopped abruptly, like a duck that had been choked by the neck, staring at him in surprise.
"You have two options now." Ji Shennian's hand holding a cigarette lit it on the leather sofa, "One, I signed these two documents at the same time; Second, turn yourself in and surrender to the law. β
"Why ......" Tang Nianqing didn't expect things to go this way at all.
Ji Shennian lifted his eyelids, a cold light appeared in his long eyes, and Tang Nianqing was immediately silenced.
"You don't need to know why." Secretary Li on the side spoke at the right time, "You just need to know that there is no next time for today's incident, otherwise Mrs. Ji will not be merciful to you anymore." β
Tang Nianqing was not a fool, and immediately understood the subtext in the other party's words.
Ji Shennian will give her a way out because of Tang Manman, just because Tang Manman hopes that she can have a liver transplant.
Why?
Why is Ji Shen Nian so good to Tang Manman?
"I'll pick these two contracts." Tang Nian quickly signed his name on the document.
"Okay." Secretary Li checked it properly and put the documents away, "The hospital has made an appointment, and a doctor will contact you at that time." According to the contract, if you regret not having a liver transplant halfway, then our company will recover three times the liquidated damages from you. β
For high-luxury global endorsements, the endorsement fee is naturally objective.
Triple the liquidated damages, that's astronomical.
Tang Nianqing sneered in his heart, Tang Manman, Tang Manman, what a good means.
But it doesn't matter, she can wait, one day, she will trample Tang Manman under her feet, so that Tang Manman's life is worse than death.
β¦β¦
"Why are you still here?" After dealing with Tang Nianqing, Ji Shennian returned to the room, and when he saw the two people who were talking, his eyebrows jumped unconsciously.
"Ji Shennian, you really interpreted the words 'crossing the river and demolishing the bridge' to the extreme." Gu Ran patted the somewhat wrinkled white coat and got up in a dashing manner, "Or are you jealous when you watch me say a few words to you Manman?" β
Tang Manman blinked in surprise and whispered, "Doctor Gu, don't say that." β
Ji Shennian, how could he eat her vinegar.
"Pay attention to what you call it." Ji Shennian frowned unabashedly, "It's Mrs. Ji." β
After speaking, he turned his head and instructed the housekeeper outside, "Send off guests." β
"You, you." Gu Ranwan smiled and shook his head, "It's really ruthless, why don't you leave me for a meal." β
Regarding his friend's "accusation", Ji Shennian was unmoved, but Tang Manman was a little unmoved.
Twice in a row, Gu Ran rushed from the hospital to treat her injuries, and now that she is letting people go like this, she doesn't feel good no matter how she thinks about it.
"Why don't you ......" Tang Manman pursed his lips, his clear eyes turned to the expressionless man, and asked for the other party's opinion, "Please Doctor Gu stay for a light meal." β
The moment Ji Shennian's long eyes swept over, Tang Manman regretted it a little.
Gu Ran is Ji Shennian's friend, no matter what Ji Shennian decides, it is understandable, no matter how she listens to what she says, she is too nosy.
"It's still Manman reasonable." The smile on the corner of Gu Ran's mouth softened a little, "Since this is the case, I might as well be respectful." β
took off the white coat and handed it to the housekeeper with the medicine box together, and then pulled the person down on Ji Shennian's shoulder, looking like he wanted to get together with him.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very good, but Tang Manman was still apprehensive.
Moreover, that anxiety continued until bedtime, and it still could not be dissipated.
"Ma'am, is there something wrong?" The housekeeper looked at Tang Manman, who had never appeared in the kitchen at this time, in surprise, "Are you hungry?" I'll have someone prepare a ...... for you."
"It's not." Tang Manman hurriedly shook his head to stop it, and hesitated to speak, "I want to borrow the kitchen." β
Half an hour later, Ji Shennian had an extra glass of honey milk and a bowl of noodles in front of him.
"I think Mr. Ji, you haven't eaten much at night." Tang Manman lowered his head and said softly, "Just do a little bit casually." β
"Why don't you ask the butler to do it?" Looking at the little woman in the dim light, his gaze unconsciously fell on the other party's neck with dazzling bruises.
"I ......," Tang Manman bit his lip, closed his eyes, and said with determination, "I shouldn't have taken it upon myself to leave the doctor down for dinner." β
"So, you're apologizing to me?" There was a rapid flow of light in his long eyes, and Ji Shennian suddenly lost interest in the work in his hand, and his eyes kept entwining on the little woman's body.
Tang Manman nodded silently, and just as she wanted to say something, she felt a familiar aura enveloping her, and then her jaw was raised, and a pair of unfathomable black eyes fell into her eyes.
"Mrs. Ji, it's useless to apologize just by saying it." The touch of the fingertips is delicate and soft enough to give people an illusion of nostalgia, Ji Shennian's big palm moves slowly, and his fingers rub back and forth on the contour line of Tang Manman's cheeks, which is extremely intimate.
Tang Manman looked at the man who almost enveloped her in his arms, and he forgot to breathe for a while.
"You need to put in some real action." The man changed his usual indifference and detachment, and there was a rare bewitchment in his dark eyes.
Practical action?
Tang Manman thought in a trance, didn't he cook noodles and milk?
"For example, change the name you call me. Older and husband, choose one. β
