Chapter 1268: Chapter 1272: Destined to Bear No Fruit
"Are you and Qian Qian really close?" Du Ziheng curved a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth. His little firecracker actually turned out to be someone who values loyalty and affection, not bad, bonus points!
Ji Shiyou glanced cautiously at Du Ziheng, furrowing her brow as she asked, "What do you want to do?" The smile on his face sent an inexplicable chill through her!
Du Ziheng leaned forward with a smile, reaching out to lift her chin: "What does she like? With you as her strategist, my chances of winning would be slightly higher!"
"Du Shaodong, you blockhead! Stop dreaming in broad daylight here!" Ji Shiyou furrowed her brow and turned her face away: "Someone like you, wrapped in wolf’s clothing, is too deceitful and absolutely unworthy of my Qian Qian!"
"What did you say?" Du Ziheng’s eyebrows knitted slightly. This woman was really outrageous! How dare she speak to him like that!
"I said, you and Qian Qian, are destined to have nothing come of it!" Ji Shiyou took a step back, maintaining some distance between them, and looked at Du Ziheng with a provocative gaze.
"Is that so? What if something does come of it?" Du Ziheng’s eyes shifted slightly, calculating his odds.
Ji Shiyou wasn’t sure why she got pulled into this meaningless game with him: "Bet! I bet you will end up suffering a bitter defeat!"
"And if I don’t?" Du Ziheng raised an eyebrow.
Nice, this woman had guts! She actually dared to bet with him!
She must not understand him. He’s like a white fox lying in the snow; even if he can’t capture his intended prey, he’ll find a substitute to satisfy his hunger.
And he already knew the outcome, so now all he had to do was lead this little firecracker into the trap he had set up step by step.
"Do whatever you want!" Anyway, she was determined to win!
With her and Qian Qian’s sisterly bond over so many years, she wouldn’t be unaware of what that girl was thinking.
Moreover, Qian Qian is the kind of conservative girl who, even if things don’t work out with Beitang Yao in the future, won’t like another man.
In Qian Qian’s life, a man who loved her has already left; her heart won’t open again.
As for Beitang Yao, that’s another story. From Qian Qian’s gaze, she can’t quite decipher their relationship; it’s all very ambiguous.
"Alright, it’s a deal! Little firecracker, you better think carefully. Once you place a bet with me, no matter the outcome, you’ll be the loser!" Du Ziheng felt elated. This little firecracker will soon be his for the taking.
Why did Ji Shiyou feel a sense of unease rising from the bottom of her heart? The smile Du Ziheng wore made her feel extremely uncomfortable!
"My name is Ji Shiyou, not little firecracker! Keep that tacky name for yourself!"
"And don’t call me blockhead either! My name is Du, Zi, Heng!" He articulated each word clearly: "You better remember, a word from me can decide your life or death!"
"Who needs to remember your name! Don’t forget! I’m a visiting surgeon invited by this hospital. The patients here need me more than your few words can dismiss me!" Ji Shiyou looked at Du Ziheng defiantly.
Internally, Du Ziheng laughed even more: "Doctors like you are a dime a dozen out there, do I need to worry about that?"
After seeing her sincerity, he couldn’t deny she truly was a good doctor who genuinely connected with patients’ inner worlds. His hospital certainly wouldn’t want to lose a doctor who can bring warmth to people.
Moreover, he didn’t want to see her wandering aimlessly; he wanted her to settle down in one place and live a good life. A young lady as beautiful as a flower, venturing out alone, was really too dangerous!
