Looking at Qin Yueshu's carefree expression, Shen Manting massaged her temples helplessly. She hesitated for a moment before calling Xue Chenkong. However, no one picked up after a few calls. She then called the landline of the mansion. Hearing the man's deep voice, Shen Manting quickly said, "You don't have to force yourself. I'll tell them that you're busy. I'm treating them to a meal at Grand Universe Hotel. I'll probably be nothing much—"
However, before she could finish her sentence, Xue Chenkong hurriedly said, "I'll go! I'll get Ming He to book a private room immediately. Leave this to me. "
Shen Manting paused for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you. "
"Ah Ting, I was thoughtless. I've made things difficult for you. I should have treated your colleagues to a meal earlier. " Xue Chenkong's voice was filled with guilt.
"It's not your fault, " Shen Manting said, her heart filled with warmth. " All right, see you tonight. "
Xue Chenkong put down the phone and did not move for a long time. He knew that Shen Manting was worried, but he would never embarrass her. However, from Shen Manting's tone, she seemed to have been put in a tight spot by someone. Who dared to bully his wife?
Ming He had received a call, but it was to book the entire place, not just a private room! Ming He wiped the sweat off his forehead. One meal cost millions. How much would it cost to book the entire place... Xue Chenkong really doted on his wife.
At six o'clock in the evening, Shen Manting packed her things and bade the hospital director farewell before heading to Grand Universe Hotel to wait for everyone.
Qi Jingwan walked in from outside and immediately pulled her to the side. "Dr. Shen, you're not thinking of running away, are you? "
"There's no one else here, so stop acting, " Shen Manting said with a calm expression. "Who doesn't know what you look like on the inside? You're disgusting. "
Shen Manting's voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't soft either, so everyone around them could hear her. They all looked up at Qi Jingwan. "Dr. Qi, Dr. Shen has already sent a group message to everyone, asking to go over at 6:30 p.m. What are you saying? "
Qi Jingwan's face paled. She took out her phone and saw the notification, then explained shamelessly, "I went for my ward rounds just now, so I didn't see the group message. " In fact, she was certain that Xue Chenkong wouldn't go. Hence, when she saw that Shen Manting was about to leave, she subconsciously stopped her.
Ding Rou quickly chimed in, "Dr. Qi was busy just now. It's normal that he didn't see the message. Isn't Dr. Shen's words a little too much? "
When Qin Yueshu saw that Shen Manting was being bullied, she rushed forward and questioned, "Who's the one going overboard? Qi Jingwan was being pretty unreasonable earlier. "
Qi Jingwan was extremely annoyed. "Qin Yueshu, why are you everywhere? Aren't you annoying? "
"You have the nerve to criticize me? Who's the one buzzing like a fly and being annoying? " Qin Yueshu said in a strange tone.
"Who are you calling a fly? " Qi Jingwan was so angry that she wanted to hit her.
"I'll tell you who's buzzing every day! What, you want to fight? I'm not afraid of you! " Qin Yueshu rolled up her sleeves.
Shen Manting's eyelids twitched, and she quickly pulled Qin Yueshu back.
"Why are you pulling me back? if she wants to fight, I won't back down! " Qin Yueshu's face turned red with anger.
Shen Manting looked at Qi Jingwan's angry face and felt helpless. She wanted to laugh, but how could such an innocent person win against Qi Jingwan's sinister and mean nature? She looked at Qi Jingwan and Ding Rou mockingly. "Why bother with them? There's no point in squabbling with them. The only way to stop the flies from buzzing is to kill them directly and get it done once and for all. "
Qi Jingwan and Ding Rou's expressions changed, and they were startled by Shen Manting's sharp gaze. They were still afraid of the Shen family, so they didn't say anything.
Shen Manting pulled Qin Yueshu away after she finished speaking. Seeing that Qin Yueshu was still angry, she said, "Just order whatever you want to eat later. "
"Really? " As a foodie, Qin Yueshu had no resistance to good food.
Upon hearing that, Shen Manting smiled helplessly. She took Qin Yueshu to Grand Universe Hotel first and learned from the waiter that Xue Chenkong had actually reserved the entire hotel! Although she wasn't short of money, Shen Manting was flabbergasted by his extravagant behavior.
However, Qin Yueshu had a carefree and envious expression on her face as she said, "Such a husband really exists? "
Shen Manting rolled her eyes. "If you want him, I'll give him to you. "
"No! I don't want a cold husband. It's too scary, " Qin Yueshu said in shock.
Shen Manting disapproved of that. In her mind, she could only think of Xue Chenkong's face when he whined. He's not cold at all. "
"You're actually speaking up for him now? Have you fallen in love with him? " Qin Yueshu looked at her in shock.
"You'd better go eat. " Shen Manting didn't want to speak anymore. She had always felt that the word "love" should not be used on her and Xue Chenkong. Regardless of whether they loved each other or not, they were destined to be entangled together.
