Chapter 28: My Head’s a Little Green Today

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Liu Jingxing caught the words ‘Doctor Zheng’, his expression immediately darkened. Bring breakfast for Zheng Ziheng? That person had said yesterday that he liked her and wanted to interact with her. No, no way! How could she bring breakfast for someone who liked her? Wouldn’t that be misunderstood? Moreover, he was still here. Wasn’t this equivalent to cheating on him in front of him? Although he didn’t like Ming Yue, she was now legally his wife.

Liu Jingxing felt that his hair color was a little green1 today. No man could accept his wife showing goodwill to another man in front of him. Even if Zheng Ziheng really loved Ming Yue, he had to line up behind him obediently. He would only have a chance when they divorced.

His eyes darkened. “This pancake smells quite good. I’ll try it.”

Ming Yue nodded. “Try it.”

Liu Jingxing held the shiny scallion pancake in his fair and well-defined hand and took a big bite. He did not expect it to taste so good. He stuffed the pancake into his mouth and finished it in a few bites. Then, he reached out for a second one. Ming Yue continued to eat the wonton with her head lowered. When the young master picked up the last pancake on the plate, she was a little stunned. “You like scallion pancakes so much?”

Liu Jingxing finished three pancakes and a bowl of wontons in one go. He shook his head expressionlessly. “I don’t like it.” He just didn’t want to let Zheng Ziheng take advantage of it. How could he like such greasy things?

…

The two of them walked out of the unit quietly. When they reached the parking lot, they saw four large gift boxes by Sun Yu’s feet. There were also four similar-sized gift boxes in the trunk. Ming Yue was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the man behind her. Liu Jingxing seemed to know what she wanted to ask. “Why are you looking at me? It’s my first time meeting your family. It’s only common sense that I shouldn’t go empty handed.” Of course she understood, but weren’t they only acting for grandmother?

Sun Yu saw his boss walking over with the lady boss and thought to himself that his salary probably wouldn’t be deducted because of what happened yesterday. He eagerly opened the door to the backseat. “Young Master, Young Madam, are you going to the Central Hospital?”

Liu Jingxing said indifferently, “You can rest today. I’ll drive by myself.”

Sun Yu froze. Was he going to be fired by his boss after all? After watching the two of them leave with red eyes, Sun Yu stood rooted to the ground in a daze. At this moment, the security guard appeared behind him and patted his shoulder, comforting him. “Young man, you’re still young. You’ll meet someone you like in the future. That young man is indeed more handsome than you. If I were that young lady, I would choose him too. But don’t be discouraged. There will be someone for you…”

Sun Yu was confused. Was there something wrong with this uncle’s brain? What did he mean by ‘someone you like’? He looked back at the uncle’s security uniform and sighed. “Uncle, are you guys still recruiting?”

“Yes!” The security guard said in surprise. “I thought you were dumped by your girlfriend. It turns out that you were fired by your boss? We happen to be recruiting people. We work on a ‘work one day and rest one day’ system. The pay is five thousand yuan per month. You will also receive a bonus during holidays. The package is very good. Coincidentally, our leader said that he wanted to find a young and strong security guard. Recently, the security hasn’t been very good. Although this is a wealthy district, a woman was robbed on the streets a few days ago.”

Sun Yu exclaimed, “Really?”

“Why would I lie to you? The atmosphere has been tense for the past two days. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be recruiting people.” So, in less than ten minutes, Sun Yu found a new job.

On the other side, Liu Jingxing drove Sun Yu’s 300,000 yuan car to the hospital parking lot.

“My grandmother is quite friendly. If she keeps chatting with you, please bear with it for a while. I’ll find an excuse to take you away then.”

Liu Jingxing did not care. His tone was indifferent. “Old people are lonely after staying in the hospital alone for too long. Isn’t it normal to like to chat? I still have this bit of time.”

Ming Yue recalled his daily interactions with the Old Madam. It seemed like… When the Old Madam was nagging, he would hum impatiently and agree while looking at the time. Anyway, he would slip away if he could.

The two of them parked the car. Ming Yue got out of the car and walked to the trunk to get the gift boxes. Liu Jingxing tidied his hair in the mirror and straightened his tie. After confirming that there was no problem, he opened the door and got out of the car.
