Chapter 344: Tactfully Rejecting the Suitor
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For the next few days, Sang Qianqian did not call Shen Hanyu.
Sometimes, the two of them would text each other, but Shen Hanyu would be very “occupied”.
Their conversation would mostly consist of a question and an answer, back and forth, without any outrageous or intimate words.
If not for the fact that Sang Qianqian knew his personality, she would have thought that he was using an Al to reply.
Sang Qianqian knew that he was busy, so she tried her best not to disturb him.
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday.
Thanks to the ointment Guo Muyang had given her, Yin Jinhui’s arm was much better and she could go to work normally.
For the opening ceremony of the Chinese Medicine Workshop, banners were put up everywhere in the hospital and it was very lively.
The people who came to attend were not only employees of the hospital at all levels, but also government leaders in charge of the medical treatment in Beijing and a number of media outlets.
The studio’s full name was Miao Leshan’s Famous Old Chinese Medicine Inheritance Workshop. According to his age, he was supposed to retire next year, but due to the establishment of the workshop, he would stay in the hospital for a bit more and play his part.
Of course, this was secondary. The most important thing was that his medical skills could be pa.s.sed down.
As Sang Qianqian was chosen by Miao Leshan to be his disciple, she was also invited to the stage to cut the ribbon with the leaders for the official opening.
Many of the young doctors in the audience looked at Sang Qianqian with envy.
Miao Leshan’s attainments in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine were extremely deep. He was known as a leading figure in the country. One could imagine what it meant to be chosen as his personal disciple.
In layman’s terms, it was equivalent to sitting on a rocket.
In his future career, he could be expected to soar, not only in his medical skills, but also in his reputation.
After the meeting, many colleagues that they didn’t recognize came to congratulate Sang Qianqian and the other two for being able to enter the studio and study medicine under Director Miao.
Su Yuan even specially bought a bouquet of flowers for Sang Qianqian and personally delivered it to her office. He mustered up the courage to invite her to dinner to celebrate.
Of course, Sang Qianqian could not agree to it and found an excuse to decline.
Last time, Su Yuan only said that they could hang out over the weekend, but Shen Hanyu’s expression changed on the spot when he heard it. If she really had a meal with Su Yuan, Shen Hanyu would be so jealous.
Su Yuan was a little disappointed, but he still refused to give up. “Then when are you free?”
Sang Qianqian said tactfully, “I’ll be quite busy during this period of time. I appreciate your kind intentions, but there’s no need to have dinner together.”
Sang Qianqian’s marriage registration was not made public, and the wedding candy was only given to her department colleagues.
Su Yuan and her were not in the same department, and even their office buildings were not in the same building, so he didn’t know at all.
In fact, Su Yuan had come to look for Sang Qianqian a few times over the past few days.
The first time he came to look for her, she had taken a few days off to return to her house in Yuecheng and was not around.
Later, when he heard that Sang Qianqian had returned, Su Yuan came over a few more times. However, she was extremely busy and left in a hurry after a short chat. Su Yuan did not even have the chance to say what he wanted to say.
It was a rare opportunity today, and Su Yuan did not want to miss it.
“Didn’t you say that it’s boring to be alone at home during your break? I’ve chosen a few places you might be interested in.”
Su Yuan said eagerly, “I can take you there for a walk when you’re on break these two days.”
He had rehea.r.s.ed these words in his mind many times and had also predicted Sang Qianqian’s answer.
She could reply with a promise or with rejection.
If she rejected him, Su Yuan thought that he would continue to work hard and come again next time.
To his surprise, Sang Qianqian’s reaction was beyond his expectations.
“I’m not bored anymore since I have someone to accompany me.”
Sang Qianqian smiled and grabbed a bunch of candy from the drawer for Su Yuan. “I forgot to tell you that I just got married a few days ago. I’ll give you some of my wedding candy.”
Su Yuan froze. His first reaction was disbelief.
He had only known Sang Qianqian when she was renting the pharmacy. She was afraid that something would go wrong with the medicine, so she stayed in the pharmacy for two nights without returning home.
During this period, someone called her and hung up after a few words. At that time, Su Yuan tried to ask if it was her boyfriend.
She smiled faintly, but there was a trace of loneliness in her smile. She said that she did not have a boyfriend.
When he chatted with her a few days ago, she said that she was always alone whenever she came home. How long has it been since then? It hasn’t even been half a month, and she’s already married!
“Didn’t you say that you don’t have a boyfriend?”
Su Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “How did you get married so quickly?”
”1 don’t have a boyfriend, but I do have a husband.”
Sang Qianqian smiled and said, “Actually, my husband and I had a wedding before. However, we broke up because of a little conflict. We just reconciled not long ago and got married again soon after.”
Su Yuan’s heart turned cold. He felt as if his body turned into wood. He had no idea how he left Sang Qianqian’s office.
To think that he had other thoughts about Sang Qianqian. These past few days, he had been thinking about how to woo her, but who knew that she was already taken. Alas, he did not even have the luck to pursue her…
After Su Yuan left, Yin Jinhui smiled. “You have to be careful not to let
President Shen know. Otherwise, Dr. Su will be in trouble.”
“He won’t know either. He’s on a business trip.”
Sang Qianqian said dejectedly, “I’m really not used to him being gone from such a long business trip.”
“Who’s on a business trip?” Xu Meixi came in with a delivery box in her arms. “Sister Qianqian, are you going on a business trip?”
“No, she’s talking about her husband.”
Yin Jinhui continued Sang Qianqian’s words and consoled her, “Your hubby isn’t here, but you still have me. If you want me to accompany you, just tell me.”
“It’s rather cold at night,” Sang Qianqian said seriously. “I need someone to warm my bed. Why don’t you come and sleep with me?”
When Shen Hanyu wasn’t by her side, she couldn’t warm her bed when she was alone. At night, her feet and blanket were still cold.
The temperature had dropped a little yesterday, and she was woken up in the middle of the night by the cold, so she went to get an extra bed and blanket.
Yin Jinhui covered her mouth and laughed. “I want to go, but I’m afraid your husband won’t agree.”
“Who sent these flowers?”
Xu Meixi noticed the flower on Sang Qianqian’s table that still had dewdrops on it and exclaimed, “They’re beautiful.”
“If you like it, you can have it.” Sang Qianqian hurriedly handed the flowers to her.
Xu Meixi was flattered. “Sister Qianqian, didn’t your husband give this to you? How can I take it?”
“It’s not her husband, but her suitor. Even if our Qianqian is married, she’s still so charming.”
Yin Jinhui laughed. “If 1 were your husband, I wouldn’t dare to go on business trips. 1 would watch over you everyday.”
Sang Qianqian smiled. “That’s why you can’t be my husband.”
As they were chatting, Director Miao came back. “All of you, come over. We’re going to have a short meeting.”
The three of them were now part of the workshop, so even their office s.p.a.ce had been moved there. Although the workshop was still within the original department in name, it was actually an independent department now.
“You’re all members of the workshop now. When you go out in the future, you’ll represent me to a certain extent.”
Director Miao’s tone was much more serious than usual. “There’s something I have to make clear to you. Our main job is not only to treat patients and save them, but also to pa.s.s on our medical skills. Hence, the three of you will have different jobs and will have to make many adjustments..”
