Chapter 15: Chapter 13 Can't Say No
After work, Wang Yue changed out of her professional attire, wearing an off-white off-shoulder dress, with a bag slung across her shoulder, and sporting a girl-next-door look.
"Su Chen, are you seated properly? I'm going to start driving."
Wang Yue didn't forget to remind Su Chen, showing she's quite a thoughtful girl.
"I'm ready, Sister Yue, you can start," Su Chen stretched a hand, preparing to hold Wang Yue's waist, but then thought it would be too presumptuous and dropped the idea.
If he were riding in the car of Yang Xuewei and her slick old group, he wouldn't be so polite.
But Wang Yue was different; so easily embarrassed, it would be bad if she got distracted and had an accident.
At the same time, he thought how naive Sister Yue really was, daring to give him a ride on the first day they met—wasn't she afraid he might take advantage of her?
In today's materialistic world, such girls are really rare, truly a pure white flower.
If it were someone a bit more realistic, knowing he was just an intern at the company, they would likely have kept their distance long ago.
The small electric scooter moved not too quickly or too slowly; a breeze blew, wafting the pleasant scent of Wang Yue's shampoo, intoxicating Su Chen.
Although Su Chen didn't put any pressure on Wang Yue, his hands honestly held the electric scooter's trunk, but an accident still happened.
Now, Wang Yue was really frightened and quickly got off the scooter.
"I hit someone, I hit someone, oh my leg, my leg hurts so much!" A man in his thirties lay on the ground, groaning.
"Are you, are you okay, I, I didn't mean to..." Wang Yue was somewhat flustered.
Seeing the man's poor acting, Su Chen sneered.
He had clearly seen that it was the man who intentionally bumped into them, bluntly speaking, it was a scam.
He couldn't help but feel disdain, thinking, if you're going to scam, at least choose a better vehicle, scamming an electric scooter is just too lacking in ambition.
However, Su Chen misunderstood the man's intentions; his scam wasn't just about money.
"Hey, young lady, I'm not a scammer, I won't ask for money, you just hit my leg and it hurts, just give it a pinch," the man groaned while speaking.
Wang Yue was unsure what to do, and hearing this made her even more panicked.
After all, it's inappropriate for a man and woman to touch.
"Hurry up, otherwise, I am calling the police!" The man said unhappily when he saw Wang Yue not moving.
Wang Yue's brows tightened, indecisive.
Finally, her hand slowly moved down.
It was her fault for hitting someone, if she did not comply, the man threatened to call the police...
However, just as Wang Yue's hands were about to touch the man, another hand grabbed hers.
"Sister Yue, I've studied medical skills, and I'm best at treating trauma, let me massage it for you," Su Chen said cheerily.
"Hey kid, who the hell are you?" The man, who was ready to enjoy, suddenly said discontentedly.
But Su Chen didn't care about that, directly placing his hand on the man's leg, saying, "I'm an orthopedic doctor, and seeing how painfully you are, it's mostly like a dislocated leg bone. Don't worry, I'm very good at setting bones."
Saying so, he suddenly exerted force, and a crisp crack sounded.
"Ah! My leg, what are you doing, my injured leg was the left one, why did you touch my right leg!" The man screamed like a slaughtered pig.
"Oh, sorry, my mistake, it's the right leg, I surely won't get it wrong this time," Su Chen's hand twisted again on the man's right leg.
"You are not a doctor, help, somebody help," the man sweated cold sweat from the pain, feeling like both his legs had been twisted off by Su Chen.
Seeing the man twisted in pain, Su Chen sneered in his heart, wanting to take advantage over a pure little flower, let him taste the flavor of my Bone Separation Hand.
"Su Chen, he, he's not hurt, is he?" Wang Yue seeing this was somewhat worried.
"Relax, it's fine." said Su Chen as he patted both the man's legs.
The man immediately felt the pain go away.
"Is it better now? If not, I can continue treating you." Su Chen smirked.
"I-I'm fine now, no need for treatment." The man scrambled up and ran off in a flash.
Kidding me, he definitely didn't want to experience that pain again.
The electric scooter started up again.
"Su Chen, I didn't realize you knew Medical Skill, that's amazing, thank you! I wouldn't have known what to do if you weren't here," Wang Yue said gratefully while driving.
"I don't know any Medical Skill, Sister Yue, didn't you see that guy was faking it, trying to take advantage of you?" Su Chen was speechless, Wang Yue still hadn't realized it until now.
"Ah? Really?" The naive voice sounded enlightened.
"…"
Su Chen's face twitched, he had to admit, it was a miracle how this naive flower managed to grow up so safely.
But no worries, I'll protect you from now on.
Su Chen silently resolved to protect this naive girl from being tainted by the world.
Originally, Wang Yue was only supposed to drive Su Chen for a part of his journey, but perhaps to show her gratitude, she nearly drove him all the way home.
Su Chen didn't want Wang Yue to know he lived in a villa, otherwise, it would be hard to maintain a friendly relationship.
Besides, that villa wasn't even his.
Hmm, once I earn enough money, I'm moving out.
No way I'll live under someone else's roof!
Returning home, he found that the iceberg hadn't come back, good, he didn't want to face her cold expression.
Qiu Jinghan was cooking dinner.
"Su Chen, you're back? Wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon," came Qiu Jinghan's voice from the kitchen.
"Okay, Auntie, take your time, no rush."
"Ouch." Suddenly, Qiu Jinghan cried out, probably cut her hand.
Indeed, when Su Chen entered the kitchen, he found Qiu Jinghan sucking on her finger, with traces of blood on the cutting board.
"It's okay, Su Chen, I'll just put on a band-aid and continue cooking," Qiu Jinghan said apologetically.
"Auntie, you're hurt, stop cooking, I'll do it, you rest," Su Chen assertively helped Qiu Jinghan to the sofa.
"Can you handle it?" Qiu Jinghan looked at Su Chen skeptically.
"A man, can't admit defeat!" Su Chen puffed up his chest, then headed into the kitchen.
Within an hour, Su Chen had dinner ready.
Four dishes and a soup, all looking and smelling delicious.
"I didn't know you could cook, Su Chen," although they hadn't started eating yet, Qiu Jinghan already smelled the enticing aroma.
Even if it wasn't as good as her own cooking, it definitely wasn't far off.
Just then, Lin Xi came home.
She took off her high heels, put away her bag, and sat directly at the dining table, all without glancing at Su Chen.
You don't want to see me, great because I don't want to see you either, Su Chen couldn't care less and just started eating.
However, just as he picked up his chopsticks, with a loud snap, Lin Xi slammed her chopsticks forcefully on the table.
