Chapter 268 What are you worried about?
It's time for dinner.
The inn they stayed in today was essentially booked out. A group of people had their meal in the lobby, and the aroma filled the air. There was chicken, duck, fish, meat, and rich, delicious soups, which almost made Su Shaodong cry with envy.
With a face full of resentment, he looked at the expressionless Lu Jiangnian opposite him, took a vicious bite of the tough pancake, chewed it hard, making a "crunch" sound, and the muscles on his cheeks were tense. It didn't look like he was eating, but like he was gnawing on the bones of his enemy.
Not only Lu Jiangnian but also Yuan Wanru sat at this table.
The table was filled with sumptuous meals. The two men beside her could only nibble on the sesame cakes pitifully. She was not affected at all and ate with relish, enjoying herself very much.
Su Shaodong watched her pick up a piece of roast goose, swallowed his saliva, and his stomach growled.
hungry.
He is a grown man, but he only ate a pancake for lunch. How could that be enough to fill him up?
"My dear, I know I was wrong. Even if he bullies me in the future, I won't resist him."
"I really know I was wrong. Look, these dishes..."
He had a look of longing on his face, and there were only two words in his eyes: I want to eat.
Yuan Wanru glanced at Lu Jiangnian beside her. He was quiet and said nothing.
His hands were empty, and it was obvious that the pancake had already gone into his stomach. He looked calm, as if he was not tempted by the delicious food at all.
Seeing Yuan Wanru's gaze, he said calmly, "If you're wrong, you have to admit your punishment. This punishment isn't severe at all. At least you still have sesame cakes to eat."
"If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, you're not really a man."
Food is the most important thing for people. Not being able to eat well is a big deal. Why is he pretending?
Su Shaodong was so angry that he stiffened his neck and glared at him: "If you don't want to eat, shut up. I'm talking to the little beauty, what's it to you?"
He turned his gaze and looked at Yuan Wanru weakly: "You know, I don't have many hobbies. I'm really hungry. Please have pity on me."
Yuan Wanru was amused by his expression, "Do you really know you're wrong?"
Su Shaodong nodded sincerely, "Really? From now on, I will let him bully me. I won't fight back even if he hits me or scolds me."
The veins on Lu Jiangnian's forehead twitched. He was pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy. He really had no bottom line.
It's really shameless for a grown man to make such a vulnerable expression.
Yuan Wanru was full. She chuckled, "It's not that serious. I'm just annoyed by your noise. I'm giving you a small punishment to make a lasting impression."
"Let me make it clear in advance that this time I'm just not giving you food. If you do this again, I'll make you shut up for five days."
After saying that, she turned her head to look at Lu Jiangnian: "What do you think?"
Lu Jiangnian choked: "As long as he behaves himself, I won't pay any attention to him."
After hearing this, Su Shaodong snorted, "You have to understand, I have never taken the initiative to talk to you. What does it have to do with you if I talk to this little beauty?"
Lu Jiangnian looked at him dangerously: "She is my woman, do you think it has nothing to do with me?"
Seeing that the two people started bickering again, Yuan Wanru simply couldn't bear to watch it.
"It seems that you all want to experience what it's like to be mute for a few days."
She sneered repeatedly, and Lu Jiangnian and Su Shaodong immediately shut up, their scalps tingling because her smile at this moment was so scary.
"No, I'm very good. From now on, Lu Jiangnian is my good brother. I will give him all the delicious food."
Su Shaodong showed a flattering smile and had an obedient expression, like a good student, sitting upright.
Yuan Wanru nodded, then asked Lu Jiangnian: "What about you?"
Facing her threat, what else can Lu Jiangnian do?
Although he didn't think he was afraid of her, he had an intuition telling him not to make her really angry.
I always feel that once she gets angry, it will be difficult to coax her.
"Well, I won't take the initiative to cause trouble for him."
That's fine, she doesn't require them to love each other anyway.
She stood up and said to Su Shaodong, "Okay, it's time for me to give Tang Tai acupuncture. Come with me."
"What about the food?"
Su Shaodong's eyes were fixed on the dining table, he was drooling and unable to move away.
Yuan Wanru smiled innocently: "I won't take back what I said easily. If I say I can only eat sesame cakes tonight, then I can only eat sesame cakes."
awful!
What else could Su Shaodong do? He hung his head and followed Yuan Wanru to Tang Tai's room. As a result, the man named Lu also followed them.
He rolled his eyes and whispered to Yuan Wanru, "Well, Lu Jiangnian shouldn't come. You know Tang Tai doesn't like meeting strangers."
This is not a lie.
Yuan Wanru always respects the patients' ideas. It would be useless for Lu Jiangnian to go there, as it would only increase the crowding in the room.
"Well, just focus on your own things and don't follow me."
Lu Jiangnian frowned: "I have something to tell you, I won't disturb you."
She still waved her hand to refuse: "We can talk about it tomorrow. If you can't wait, just wait until I finish the acupuncture."
So, Lu Jiangnian could only watch Su Shaodong and Yuan Wanru enter the room.
When the door closed, Su Shaodong deliberately gave him a provocative look.
Lu Jiangnian only felt that his fist had hardened again.
accurate.
-
When Yuan Wanru returned to the room, Lu Jiangnian was waiting for her quietly in the room.
"came back?"
Lu Jiangnian's tone did not reveal his joy or anger, and Yuan Wanru did not care. Instead, she sat down and drank a cup of tea.
"What happened?"
Seeing that her lips were a little dry, Lu Jiangnian patiently said nothing and poured her another cup of tea: "Moisten your lips first."
Giving Tang Tai an acupuncture injection is not an easy job every time.
The main reason is that he has been suffering from the Gu for too many years, and it is extremely difficult to treat.
However, she was also inspired by it, so even though she was tired, she enjoyed it.
"Go ahead."
After Yuan Wanru replenished enough water, she sat upright and looked at the person opposite her.
She was wearing a blue jacket today. Her face was flushed due to her busy schedule. The tea she had just drunk had moistened her lips until they were translucent. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes stared at him, which made his anger dissipate a little.
The tone of his voice softened a bit.
"I think Su has bad intentions. Apart from treating Tang Tai, you shouldn't have too much contact with him."
Yuan Wanru didn't expect that this was the issue he wanted to talk about.
"We've discussed this issue before, and I don't think there's any need to discuss it again."
She sighed.
Su Shaodong just likes to talk nonsense, but she feels that he doesn't really like her.
Besides, she had never given Su Shaodong any illusions.
Lu Jiangnian's voice was a little cold: "I don't like you to have too much contact with him, can't you consider my feelings?"
Yuan Wanru was silent for a while. "Su Shaodong and I were partners before, and we are even more so now. Why don't we get in touch?"
"When I was working with Su Shaodong, you didn't object."
"Now, we want to find the Phoenix Jade Fruit. With the help of Father Su, we have obtained some clues. We can't just cross the river and burn the bridge."
"The most important thing is that Tang Tai is already my patient. Now that I have taken over, there is no way I will give up on him halfway."
She stared at Lu Jiangnian with burning eyes: "I can tell you clearly that I don't like Su Shaodong. What are you worried about?"
