Chapter 16: Stop Messing Around

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nangong Ci was standing by the door, holding a medical book in his hand.

Huo Jingshen glanced at him icily, and Nangong Ci quickly turned around and said, “Please continue whatever you were doing, I did not see anything at all. Just pretend I was never here.”

“Deputy dean!” The nurse from earlier appeared and approached Nangong Ci eagerly. “Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for ages! Miss Su is waiting for your signature.”

She was obviously infatuated with the deputy dean, judging by her coquettish and pretentious tone.

Nangong Ci coughed awkwardly then asked, “What’s the rush? I’m here now, right?”

He had gone downstairs briefly to check in on a ward and his elder brother had already brought a young woman into his office so they could be intimate here. He was really making use of every opportunity he had!

He claimed he had no interest in women, and that he wanted to keep his hands clean and mind his own business. Pfft! It was all nonsense!

An old man could unexpectedly be daring and flirtatious even though he seemed shy and quiet!

After dismissing the nurse who obviously admired him, Nangong Ci stared at Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan, a cheeky smile blooming on his face. He laughed and said teasingly, “Big bro, you’re pretty fast. It only took you two days to get the girl, and the both of you are already so intimate with each other. Ah, I guess I have to knock on my own office door before I come in after this. Hahaha!”

Su Wanwan glared viciously at Huo Jingshen, then suppressed her embarrassment as she turned to Nangong Ci and asked, “Are you my grandfather’s attending doctor?”

She had seen the medical report before this and she saw that the chief surgeon who had performed the surgery for Su Xueqin was the deputy dean here. He was a gold medal doctor who had conducted many successful operations and had won numerous international awards.

Su Wanwan initially thought the doctor was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, but he was actually this carefree and frivolous young man?

Nangong Ci was also surprised as he asked, “Are you Grandpa Su’s granddaughter?”

Did the Su family have another daughter besides Su Yanyan?

“My grandfather is supposed to get discharged today, so I might have to trouble you to help settle it.”

“This is perfect!” Nangong Ci clapped his hands excitedly and said, “Since you are Grandpa Su’s granddaughter and since Grandpa Su likes me so much, I can help say some nice things about my brother in front of Grandpa Su then!”

“Can you stop messing around?!” Su Wanwan slammed her hands on his table and said impatiently, “I’m in a hurry, so please complete the discharge procedures for me quickly!”

Nangong Ci stared at her, speechless.

After completing the formalities for the discharge procedures, Su Wanwan fled the office.

The office was silent for a while until…

“Hahaha!” Nangong Ci laughed uncontrollably, hitting the table with his hand. “Stop messing around?! Hahaha! Big bro, do you think your woman played too many video games? Hahaha!”

He was going to die from laughing too much!

Huo Jingshen simply sat on the sofa as he lit a cigarette. “You are behaving like a mentally retarded person right now.”

Nangong Ci’s laughter stopped instantly, and he pursed his lips contemplatively. After a while, he leaned forward slightly and asked, “Bro, this girl is rather energetic. Do you think someone like you can control or keep up with her? Don’t hurt yourself because you cannot hold it later-”

“I will be returning to Y Country in a few days,” Huo Jingshen interrupted him.

“Why? Is Dong Meng causing trouble for Yunda again?” Nangong Ci immediately sat down, his complete attention on Huo Jingsheng.

Although Huo Jingshen had returned to China to take over the Huo Yuan Group, he already had his own business in Europe. Since Nangong Ci also had shares in Yunda, he was very serious now.

After taking a puff of his cigarette, Huo Jingshen replied calmly, “Xihan wants to cooperate with Dong Meng.”

Fu Xihan was Huo Jingshen’s senior back when he studied in Y Country, and was also the second founder of Yunda.

Nangong Ci frowned and asked, “So what is your decision then?”

Huo Jingshen stared at Nangong Ci for a long time. “Why don’t you go over there instead?”

“That’s out of the question!” Nangong Ci protested indignantly, “How can a perfect man like me simply enter a marriage? Furthermore…”

He leaned back in his chair and said, “The eldest young lady of the Dong family only has eyes for you, not other men. She is actually not that bad, just a little arrogant. Moreover, she is twenty-eight this year and you are thirty, so there’s not much of a gap. She’s also pretty and a strong career woman, and has devoted herself to you for so many years. In the future, she can continue helping you in the European market, and you’ll also receive twenty percent of Dong Meng’s shares…”

Nangong Ci trailed off when he saw the warning look Huo Jingsheng was giving him. Nangong Ci cleared his throat and stood up, pretending to study a medical book.

“That Su Wanwan,” Huo Jingshen suddenly said, “is probably the person that the people from Dong Meng have been looking for.”

Bang! The thick medical textbook fell on the table.

“What do you mean?” Nangong Ci suwng around, looking shocked and confused. “Is that why you approached that woman then?”

Dong Meng’s power was mainly focused in Europe, but Huo Jingshen had found out that Dong Meng had been sending people to conduct private investigations in China. However, nobody knew the exact details of those people at all.

Huo Jingshen inhaled deeply, his dark eyes unreadable amidst the light smoke in the room. “Yes and no.”

Nangong Ci was silent.

On the other side of the hospital.

When Su Wanwan returned downstairs, she saw Su Yanyan as soon as the elevator door opened.

“Oh! It’s the precious young lady who returned from abroad. It took you so long just to get the hospital discharge procedures done! Don’t you feel guilty for making everyone wait for you?”

Su Wanwan could not be bothered with her and simply walked towards the ward.

“Stop!” Su Yanyan ran in front of Su Wanwan and stretched out her hand to stop her.

Su Yanyan was wearing high heels but at one hundred and sixty centimetres tall, she was still a little shorter than Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan looked at her condescendingly and sneered, “A good dog does not get in a person’s way.”

Su Yanyan pretended she did not hear her and narrowed her eyes as she studied Su Wanwan’s face.

Su Wanwan had tied up her long and curly hair today, but it was a little messier compared to before. And her lips…

They were red and swollen… almost like they had been kissed.

“Where did you go?” Su Yanyan demanded suspiciously.

Xing Yuyun had said that he wanted to go out and smoke as soon as he arrived at the ward. Did the two of them meet in private?

“None of your business.”

Su Wanwan’s words inadvertently confirmed her suspicions.

Su Yanyan was furious and pointed at Su Wanwan. “Su Wanwan, I am telling you that Xing Yuyun is now my fiancée! We will be getting engaged next month, so from today onwards, watch yourself and try to avoid any rumors! If you dare continue trying to get closer to him, I will-”

Smack!

Su Wanwan slapped Su Yanyan’s hand away and said coldly, “Su Yanyan, I would advise you to tighten the rope that you have in your hands in the future. Don’t let your man out so casually, because he will keep pestering me like a mad dog. It makes me disgusted!”

Su Yanyan’s expression was unreadable. “What do you mean by that? Who are you calling a dog? Stop right there! Su Wanwan, I asked you to stop!”

Su Wanwan ignored her and walked away.
