Chapter 17: Picking on Duan Da-lao, Xiao Yang & Wen Xiaoching

Su Qingtan’s words made Duan Jinhuai’s smile pause, but he still smiled, “I’m a human, why wouldn’t I smile?”

“Although we haven’t known each other for long, you give me a very serious feeling, I didn’t expect you to smile.” Su Qingtan finished speaking, then expressed understanding, “But your identity, although you don’t lack money, you should have many other worries, so it’s quite normal for you to be serious in my opinion.”

“Serious?” Duan Jinhuai asked Su Qingtan, “Do you think I’m very serious?”

More than that.

You’re cold-hearted, serious and strange, you’ve got it all.

Su Qingtan said insincerely, “Not very serious, you’re actually quite enthusiastic, your smile makes people feel quite… well, quite…”

Su Qingtan thought for a long time and couldn’t find the right words to describe it, she could only say her intuitive feeling, “It’s quite handsome.”

“Do you think I’m handsome?” Duan Jinhuai asked again.

No, why is he picking on words and asking questions now?

And he’s asking questions that are not easy to answer.

I’m a woman, I don’t need to be asked in detail about thinking a man is handsome.

Su Qingtan remembered her helplessness when she was asked questions by Duan Jinhuai in her previous life, she quickly adjusted her attitude and nodded, “Yes, Mr. Duan, you look very good, I think you’re handsome.”

“I think most people would agree with me, they would think you’re handsome.”

“People’s appreciation for beautiful things is mostly the same.”

“Appreciation?”

Duan Jinhuai started picking on words again, Su Qingtan quickly lowered her head to eat the casserole, the casserole hadn’t cooled down yet, she hissed when she was scalded, she was lucky to get Duan Da-lao’s education on picking on words, “Slow down.”

Su Qingtan was very satisfied with the meal.

When it was time to pay, Duan Jinhuai didn’t compete with Su Qingtan.

After getting in the car, Su Qingtan touched her belly and smiled, Duan Jinhuai found it funny, “So satisfied?”

Su Qingtan nodded, “Yes, because I haven’t vomited since I had breakfast yesterday. I feel like I’m better, I can eat delicious food again.”

That’s right.

She loves to eat, she knows how to eat, and she also loves to cook delicious food.

Duan Jinhuai chuckled softly and said, “That’s indeed something worth being satisfied about.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qingtan urgently stopped Duan Jinhuai who was about to drive, she got out of the car and ran towards the trash can, covering her mouth, Duan Jinhuai took out the bag he had bought and the mineral water and chased after her.

Su Qingtan couldn’t hold on until she reached the trash can, but luckily Duan Jinhuai caught up to her.

Duan Jinhuai spread the bag flat on the ground, Su Qingtan vomited, and the vomit splashed all over his pants, Duan Jinhuai didn’t even look, he squatted down and patted Su Qingtan’s back lightly, he opened the mineral water and handed it to her, “Rinse your mouth.”

Su Qingtan took the water and rinsed her mouth before she saw Duan Jinhuai’s dirty pants.

She was about to apologize, but Duan Jinhuai spoke first, “Are you going to vomit again?”

Su Qingtan shook her head, Duan Jinhuai picked up the four corners of the bag with vomit and threw it into the trash can.

Duan Jinhuai… no, she wouldn’t throw vomit at a man she had just met for two days.

Su Qingtan stared at Duan Jinhuai in a daze, she waited until he turned his head back before saying, “Mr. Duan, thank you…”

Duan Jinhuai didn’t need to guess to see the shock in Su Qingtan’s heart, he directly stretched out his hand in front of her and said, “You should thank me, it’s dirty. Pour water.”

I told you, how could anyone not mind.

Su Qingtan, for a moment, had no more messy thoughts, she poured water seriously.

After getting in the car, she quickly put a plum in her mouth, Duan Jinhuai saw this and said, “You’re all better now?”

“I really felt much better yesterday.” Su Qingtan was also very helpless, “I didn’t vomit a single meal I ate in the hospital.”

“Then just stay in the hospital.” Duan Jinhuai said as he started the car.

Su Qingtan started to feel dizzy again, she fell asleep in the car.

When they arrived at the hospital and parked the car, Duan Jinhuai looked at Su Qingtan for a while before softly calling her awake.

Su Qingtan woke up and was about to get out of the car, but Duan Jinhuai stopped her, “As a thank you for you treating me to lunch just now, I’ll help you move, give me the keys to both houses.”

He stretched out his hand towards Su Qingtan.

His hand, with distinct knuckles, was large, with calluses on his palm and knuckles.

Su Qingtan looked at Duan Jinhuai’s hand, her expression was a little dazed, she was still a little groggy from her sleep.

Duan Jinhuai urged, “The keys.”

Su Qingtan came back to her senses, she wanted to refuse, Duan Jinhuai said, “Are you going to sneak out again?”

Of course it would be great to have someone help her move, but why would Duan Jinhuai help her? Forget about one lunch, even ten lunches would be too much trouble for him.

Su Qingtan struggled, “I don’t want to sneak out, I just think it’s too much trouble for you.”

After finishing speaking, Su Qingtan seemed to have thought of something, she looked up at Duan Jinhuai and said, “Mr. Duan, you’re helping me like this, is it to make me agree to your condition?”

She still found it hard to trust others, it was also his fault for being too impulsive.

Duan Jinhuai sighed inwardly, he suppressed all his emotions and said, “It has nothing to do with that, I’m just helping you because you’re not convenient being in the hospital alone.”

Su Qingtan still wanted to refuse, as if he had seen through her thoughts, Duan Jinhuai said again, “You won’t be troubling me, I’ll hire a moving company to move, I won’t do it myself.”

Su Qingtan thought for a moment, then handed him the keys and said, “Then thank you, Mr. Duan, I’ll pay for the moving expenses.”

“Hmm.”

Duan Jinhuai responded, the two of them got out of the car and walked towards the ward.

Su Qingtan’s pace was a little slow, Duan Jinhuai slowed down and waited for her, he hadn’t taken two steps when he heard Xiao Yang’s voice, “Old Duan!”

Su Qingtan looked towards the sound and saw the cold brother Xiao Yang, he was holding a very thin girl’s hand, the girl had beautiful features, but her complexion was not ordinary pale, it was a little yellow, she looked very haggard and weak.

But she had a smile on her face that was brighter than the sun.

Because of this smile, her thin figure and complexion, which were almost like a ghost, could be ignored by others.

All that was left was a bright and cheerful feeling.

What a bright girl—

Su Qingtan was just thinking this when she suddenly noticed that the cold brother and the girl were both looking at her—

No, they were looking at the bag of plums in her hand.

Is there something wrong?

Su Qingtan lowered her head and looked at the plums in her hand, she raised her head and was about to look back at them when she felt her vision blocked.

It was Duan Jinhuai. He stood in front of her and turned his head, “You go back first—”

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yang had already walked over with the girl, “Old Duan, what are you whispering about?”

He didn’t wait for Duan Jinhuai to introduce them, he directly bypassed Duan Jinhuai and said to Su Qingtan, “Hello, I’m Xiao Yang, Old Duan’s friend.”

He pointed at the girl and said, “This is my fiancée, Wen Xiaoching.”

Wen Xiaoching, even her name matched her bright aura.

As for this cold brother, he wasn’t so cold in front of his friend and girlfriend.

Su Qingtan slandered him in her heart, but she said, “Hello, I’m Su Qingtan.”
