Chapter 119 Is Master Jue the Forgiving Type?

Chapter 119: Is Master Jue the Tolerant Type?

"Absolutely!" Tong Tong nodded vigorously.

She had an inexplicable trust in Qin Shuyi.

Qin Shuyi smiled, "Then I'll contact her first to see when she's available."

Contact? She's going to contact that doctor again?

Isn't America far enough away?

"Let me introduce her to someone," an exasperated male voice cut into their conversation.

Tong Tong and Qin Shuyi both looked over.

Ling Jue said with a straight face, "I know a better specialist. You don't need to contact that person. I'll have someone come directly for a house call to examine her."

Tong Tong hesitated, "But I've heard of the one Sister Shuyi mentioned. She seems quite skilled. No need to trouble..."

The big shot's concern made her a bit uneasy.

Ling Jue cut her off, forcing a smile through gritted teeth, "It's no trouble."

To sound more convincing, he added emphatically, "I've seen him too. His medical skills are excellent."

Their expressions suddenly turned strange.

Tong Tong opened her mouth, unable to hold back first, "Wait... Master Jue, you've been to a gynecologist too?"

Ling Jue's face froze instantly, blank for a moment.

"...Gynecology?"

Weren't they talking about orthopedics?

Tong Tong nodded matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I need treatment for menstrual cramps."

She looked at Ling Jue cautiously, "You... probably don't have that kind of issue, right?"

Her gaze made him seem like some kind of pervert.

Shen Yaochuan burst into loud, unrestrained laughter.

Meanwhile, Qin Shuyi's expression remained indifferent, "Who knows? Maybe he accompanied some woman for a check-up."

Tang Wei nearby gave the flustered Ling Jue a sympathetic look.

This guy really knows how to dig his own grave.

"I haven't!" Ling Jue nervously looked at Qin Shuyi, who had lowered her head and was calmly picking up food with her chopsticks. He gritted his teeth, "I haven't accompanied any woman to see a doctor."

He just thought she was going to contact Chi Yu.

"I went with my mom to improve her health," he offered a seemingly reasonable excuse.

Qin Shuyi lowered her gaze without speaking.

But the relationship between Ms. Qi and him didn't seem like one where he'd accompany her for medical appointments.

...

Because of this mix-up, the lunch atmosphere turned awkward.

Apart from Tong Tong, who now had contact information for two renowned doctors, and the endlessly chatty Shen Yaochuan, everyone else seemed rather unhappy.

Since Qin Shuyi was always surrounded by people and followed by cameras, Ling Jue didn't get another chance to talk to her.

After cooperating with the 3D modeler to complete and print the restoration model for the deceased's damaged areas, Qin Shuyi led the guests through another round of dimensional checks.

"Confirm the fit between the restoration piece and the body's damaged area. The error margin must be ≤0.3mm, ensuring no surface bubbles or steps, and a seamless fit after placement."

"Then, we'll create a silicone prosthetic from the mold, pre-color it, and clean and secure it."

None of this could be completed in a single day, especially for a group of beginners.

Qin Shuyi didn't demand perfection from them either.

Hearing that today's tasks were finished, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Honestly, this gig was really stressful psychologically.

Even the usually most troublesome celebrities didn't dare to complain.

Firstly, the investor's status was a big deal and he was present on-site. Secondly, the work itself, dealing with the deceased, made them hesitant to be too disrespectful.

As for the person who, as soon as the cameras were off, would head straight for Qin Shuyi, everyone tacitly pretended not to notice.

"I'll take you home," two voices said simultaneously.

The icy wolf king and the enthusiastic golden retriever glared at each other.

Qin Shuyi didn't even look at them, "I have a ride."

The driver sent by her uncle-in-law had been waiting at the entrance for a while, with Qian Youyou and Jiang Yuzhou also in the car.

Watching her drive away, both men sighed simultaneously.

Then they glanced at each other, cold smiles appearing on their faces in unison.

"Give up. Qin Shuyi doesn't like younger men. Being clingy won't work," Ling Jue's words were as sharp as ever.

Shen Yaochuan shrugged, "There are exceptions to everything. After too much tough, old stuff, maybe she wants to try something fresh. Master Jue might not know, but older woman-younger man relationships are trendy now."

Ling Jue, subtly insulted about his age, radiated coldness, "You'd better not live to see 27."

"Even if I live to 27, Master Jue, you'd still be four years older than me. Oh dear, being born a bit later is really embarrassing. I haven't even reached the golden age of 25 yet," he said, putting on a little green tea act.

Ling Jue scoffed coldly, "Even if you were 5, if she's not interested, she's not interested."

"Still better than a resentful ex who was dumped after being chosen," Shen Yaochuan smiled.

Ling Jue shot him a cold glare.

...

After their exchange of open and veiled barbs, the two parted ways unhappily.

Tong Tong, who had popped up behind them arm-in-arm with Tang Wei, stroked her chin, "Sister Wei, who do you support?"

"The unattainable Master Jue is indeed tempting, but the sweet, clingy type is also quite charming."

She really wanted Qin Shuyi to have them both.

Why can't a powerful woman have it all?

Tang Wei chuckled, "Do you think Master Jue is the sharing type?"

Recalling those terrifying rumors about him, along with his constant vigilance toward any men around Qin Shuyi during the day and his intense, possessive stares, Tong Tong shuddered.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm afraid any man who dares to be the other man would be dragged out in the middle of the night, chopped up, and fed to the dogs."

If anyone dared to touch Qin Shuyi, he truly would go insane.

Tang Wei also laughed, but her laughter soon faded into a sigh.

Once a wolf has you in its sights, there are only two choices.

Either submit to him, or tame him.

Good luck to Miss Qin.

...

"Youyou, what's wrong?" Qin Shuyi, sitting in the car, glanced at Qian Youyou, who seemed unusually listless today.

Jiang Yuzhou blurted out, "Failed an exam?"

Qian Youyou shot him a glare. "Don't use your room-temperature IQ to guess at me. I did very well on my exams, okay?"

Jiang Yuzhou, "Then what's with the long face?"

Qian Youyou wanted to say something but closed her mouth.

"My period came, I'm in a bad mood. Don't provoke me."

Jiang Yuzhou curled his lip. "Your temper is getting worse and worse. Lao Jiang always says I bully you, but who's really bullying whom?"

"Sister Shuyi, how was your recording today?" Having confirmed that Qian Youyou was just being her usual erratic self, he changed the subject. "Was there anyone causing trouble like He Jin? Do you want us to find time to visit the set?"

Qin Shuyi shook her head. "It's fine, everyone was very cooperative."

She glanced at Qian Youyou again. "If you're not feeling well, why did you come to pick me up? You could have just sent Uncle Zhang."

"We had nothing better to do," Qian Youyou said coquettishly.

After a moment, she couldn't help but hesitantly ask, "Sis, when you went back to S City last time, did you meet anyone?"

Qin Shuyi thought for a moment. "Not really."

Qian Youyou was definitely referring to certain unexpected people, but aside from Ling Jue, she hadn't seen anyone from her past she didn't expect to see.

Qian Youyou pursed her lips. "Oh."

Hearing that, Qin Shuyi suddenly remembered—wait, that wasn't right. Their family did have an old acquaintance in S City they were no longer in touch with.

But after glancing at the now-silent Qian Youyou, she ultimately didn't press further.
