Which pretty boy is in Chapter 17?
When Shen Yanqiu returned to the Zhu family home, Zhu's mother was already waiting. Seeing him walk in, she quickly went up to him with a smile and asked, "How was Yueyue's work today? Were you happy? Were you tired?"
A series of caring gestures dispelled Shen Yanqiu's exhaustion; it was true that home is a haven.
He couldn't help but smile and whispered to his mother, "I'm fine. Today's work was easy. Don't worry about me."
Hearing him say that, Zhu's mother felt relieved and pulled him to the dining table: "Come and eat, today we have all your favorite dishes."
Zhu's father also came downstairs, looking at his daughter with a big smile: "Yueyue, are you tired today? If you ask me, you should go back to your own company. You see, you can do whatever you want at the company, and I will never let you get tired."
Shen Yanqiu understood his good intentions, but still refused: "I'm not tired at all, so let me give it a try!"
"Alright, alright, whatever you want!" Zhu Mingchuan agreed to all of his daughter's requests.
He felt like a loyal old minister, unable to say "no" to the young emperor's reasonable and unreasonable demands.
Even though he owns a company, his daughter wanted to work outside the home, and although he was reluctant, he still agreed.
While the family of three was enjoying their meal together in a harmonious atmosphere, Zhu Tingyue mechanically ate her food in a cold and icy environment.
The Shen family members adhered to the custom of not speaking while eating or sleeping, and the large room remained completely silent.
Zhu Tingyue felt that although everyone lived in the same house, their way of getting along didn't feel like a family at all. Even in a shared apartment, the atmosphere would be more harmonious!
After finishing their meal, the group returned to their respective rooms without exchanging a single word.
Zhu Tingyue began her daily routine: missing her parents and her kitten.
Oh right, and there's my best friend, Jiang Wanjun! I haven't contacted her since that banquet.
The phone is in Shen Yanqiu's hands, and it's unknown whether the two have been in contact. How will Shen Yanqiu respond? If she knew what had happened to her, she would definitely sympathize with her. No, maybe she would laugh at her. She knows her best friend's character perfectly well.
Good things don't come easily if you keep talking about them.
The next day, before Zhu Tingyue was even fully awake, she received a call from Shen Yanqiu.
His urgent voice came from the other end: "Zhu Tingyue, hurry, hurry! Your friend Jiang Wanjun called you! What should we do? What should we do? Should we answer? What should we say? Will he expose me? Will he find out?"
Zhu Tingyue instantly sobered up. Jiang Wanjun really understood her, just as she understood her. As soon as Shen Yanqiu opened her mouth, Jiang Wanjun would definitely see through her.
So she first comforted Shen Yanqiu: "Don't worry, hang up the phone first, send her a text message and ask him what's wrong."
Shen Yanqiu did as she was told, and a little while later called her back to say that Jiang Wanjun was sick and in the hospital, and asked if she wanted to come over.
Zhu Tingyue was immediately worried. How could he be sick? No wonder he hadn't contacted her these past few days. She definitely had to go see him, but she couldn't go alone; she had to bring Shen Yanqiu with her. So the two agreed to meet at the hospital entrance.
Zhu Tingyue rolled over and got out of bed. After quickly washing up, she rushed out of the house and headed to the hospital.
Even though she was anxious, Shen Yanqiu still carefully coordinated her outfit according to Zhu Tingyue's request, and then had her assistant do her simple makeup before going out.
Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, the two met up and headed towards the ward.
Zhu Tingyue sounded anxious as she asked him what had happened and what Jiang Wanjun had said.
Shen Yanqiu showed her his phone, and the two discussed it outside the ward before going in.
Jiang Wanjun was lying in bed when she saw someone come in. It was Zhu Tingyue. She was actually with that gigolo? Oh, the gigolo she'd already broken up with.
She stared in surprise, but since the person was right in front of her, she couldn't ask directly. She just gestured with her eyes to indicate "Zhu Tingyue".
Shen Yanqiu couldn't understand her gaze, and subconsciously looked at Zhu Tingyue.
Zhu Tingyue stood behind him, took his hand, and gestured for him to speak.
Upon receiving the order, Shen Yanqiu uttered the words Zhu Tingyue had taught him: "How are you? Are you feeling any better?"
The person in front of her was clearly Zhu Tingyue, but Jiang Wanyun felt that something was wrong.
She looked Zhu Tingyue over and over again, and even glanced at the pretty boy behind her.
Shen Yanqiu and Zhu Tingyue were extremely nervous, afraid that she would notice something.
Thankfully, Jiang Wanjun quickly looked away and slowly replied, "It's nothing. You know my mother's personality; she'll always make something out of nothing. Look at me, my complexion is rosy and healthy, I don't look sick at all! But you, your makeup is so light today? Have you changed your ways?"
Unexpectedly, she suddenly brought up the topic of makeup. Zhu Tingyue hadn't discussed this with him before. How should he answer? Shen Yanqiu wanted to turn back and look at Zhu Tingyue again.
But Zhu Tingyue held his hand tightly, signaling him not to turn around. Wouldn't turning around at this moment give him away?
He racked his brains quickly, and after a long pause, he said, "I've been preferring light makeup lately."
Jiang Wanyun suddenly laughed: "You like plain food? Did someone say they like you because you're plain? What? You don't want any of those other pretty boys?"
The person involved was still present, and she said such things; Zhu Tingyue felt like she wanted to die. The term "bad influence" perfectly describes her!
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yanqiu turned to look at Zhu Tingyue, her eyes asking: Do you have other gigolos besides me?
Zhu Tingyue inwardly groaned, but her face remained impassive. She knew that she was the gigolo in this situation, and the questions should be answered by him, "Zhu Tingyue."
Jiang Wanjun watched the two of them bickering in front of her, and Zhu Tingyue didn't answer her questions, so she added fuel to the fire.
"Didn't you say you recently fell for that tall, handsome, and good-looking guy? Why haven't you brought him here?"
If eyes could breathe fire, then Jiang Wanjun would surely be engulfed in flames right now.
What kind of friend is this? Zhu Tingyue was internally devastated. Look at what she said! Are these wild and inappropriate words appropriate to utter in broad daylight?
Under Shen Yanqiu's scrutiny, Zhu Tingyue avoided the question, her eyes darting away.
She admitted she had said those words. But she had said them ages ago, before she even knew Shen Yanqiu!
What's wrong with Jiang Wanjun today? Why is she bringing up all these clichéd things?
