Chapter 106: It’s Okay to Cry (1/2)

After watching Shao Silin and Liu Su leave, Shen Cheng stood up, stretched, and was preparing to lead the women upstairs for dinner when he suddenly noticed Wen Yuanyuan still sitting on the sofa.

At this moment, Wen Yuanyuan’s face was flushed, and she was nervously clasping her hands together, her fingers gently rubbing against each other, as if she had something she wanted to say to Shen Cheng but was too shy to express it.

Shen Cheng was slightly taken aback and asked, “Yuanyuan, aren’t you working today?”

“Mm.” Hearing this, Wen Yuanyuan nodded and said, “I took the day off. I’ll go directly to the hospital to see my mother later.”

“Oh…” Shen Cheng nodded with a light laugh, realizing that Wen Yuanyuan probably had something to say to him. So, he offered, “Let me take you to the hospital.”

“Okay… sure!” Wen Yuanyuan immediately brightened up, but as soon as she realized it, her face turned even redder. “Thank you so much…”

After greeting the other women, Shen Cheng drove Wen Yuanyuan to Lingshi Central Hospital.

As he pressed the accelerator, the scenery outside the car windows slowly receded. Shen Cheng asked, “Yuanyuan, did you have something you wanted to tell me?”

Wen Yuanyuan, her face still red, nodded and said, “Because I heard that you’re going out again tomorrow, so I thought about it and asked my boss for leave from my night job.”

“For me?” Shen Cheng was slightly surprised.

“Mm.” Wen Yuanyuan’s round face turned as red as an apple. She placed her hands nervously on her lap and said, “I… I wanted you to come to the hospital to see my mother…”

As she spoke, Wen Yuanyuan quickly added, fearing Shen Cheng might misunderstand, “I’m not trying to seek pity or ask for help. I just… I just wanted someone to talk to. I don’t have many friends here in Lingshi, and of the people I’m close with, you’re the only one…”

“Hmm, it’s fine. You can come to me directly if anything is bothering you. There’s no need to be so shy about it.” Shen Cheng smiled gently as he replied.

To be honest, Shen Cheng had planned to visit Wen Yuanyuan’s mother at the hospital anyway. Since he would be returning to the Bio-Scientific Institute tomorrow, he wasn’t sure if they could treat her mother’s condition.

“Mm!” Hearing this, Wen Yuanyuan smiled with squinted eyes and said, “Thank you, Shen Cheng!”

Soon, Shen Cheng stopped the car at Lingxu Central Hospital, turned to glance at Wen Yuanyuan, opened the door, and the two of them walked into the hospital side by side.

“Yuanyuan, you’re here early today.” As they walked in, a night-shift nurse greeted Wen Yuanyuan with a familiar smile.

“Yes, I took the day off from my job today, so I arrived a little earlier.” Wen Yuanyuan smiled as she nodded in response.

After greeting Wen Yuanyuan, the nurse turned her gaze to Shen Cheng, who was standing next to her, and was momentarily surprised. “And this gentleman is…?”

“He… he’s my friend. He’s here with me to see my mother…” Wen Yuanyuan hurriedly explained, her face turning red with embarrassment.

However, her explanation only made it seem more like she was trying to cover something up…

Upon hearing this, the nurse gave them a knowing look and said teasingly, “Oh~ ‘friend,’ is it?”

While speaking, the nurse emphasized the word “friend,” causing Wen Yuanyuan’s face to turn red all the way to her ears.

After nodding toward Shen Cheng, the nurse turned and left.
