After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 206 - 136: Broken Heart 3

The whole company knows that the boss is a serious person. This kind of "seriousness" is deeply ingrained in his character, a stubborn trait etched into his very bones.

This personality trait makes him approach everything with seriousness—work, copying scriptures, worshipping Buddha, even gardening.

Ever since he started tending to this bunch of roses, no matter how busy work gets, he never forgets to personally water them every day, and fertilize them regularly, never delegating this task to anyone else.

The roses, which the boss has meticulously taken care of, have thrived. When he planted them last year, they were just a nondescript stumpy old plant. This year, they’ve grown many branches and leaves, and last month, several buds sprouted.

The largest two buds on the branches are currently about to bloom, and they’ve quickly become the most striking feature in this grey and white office, catching the attention of those like Ze Wu, who had little interest in plants but now occasionally comes in to check on these roses, eagerly awaiting their vibrant bloom.

When Shi Wangyue was pruning the roses, Ze Wu happened to be in his office.

Hearing the sound, Ze Wu turned and exclaimed with concern, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Pruning is fine, but why cut the beautiful buds? They’ve been tended to for so many days, finally growing these buds, and just about to bloom, why cut them off..."

Despite going on for a while, he saw no reaction from Shi Wangyue.

He could only step forward, waving a hand in front of Shi Wangyue’s face, "What’s wrong with you?"

Shi Wangyue did not even look at him. He shut off his phone, picked up the fallen rose bud from the windowsill, tossed it into the trash can nearby, and said stiffly, "Nothing."

"Are you sure it’s nothing?" Ze Wu furrowed his brows, concerned.

No way, your face looks as dark as if your wife ran off with someone, what happened?!

I don’t believe it!

...

Shi Wangyue’s feelings were indescribable at this moment, and he had no patience for Ze Wu.

His mind was utterly preoccupied trying to reconcile the girl who seemed obsessed, like a starstruck teenager on WeChat, with someone in his memory, yet...

The result was that after thinking through many scenarios, everything was suddenly obliterated by a wave of emotional turmoil.

His thoughts were in utter chaos.

A few minutes later, with a dark expression, he left the office and stood at the doorway, yelling out, "Assistant Jin, please go downstairs and buy me a thermometer."

The tone carried a chilling threat.

Assistant Jin, hearing the command, doubted his ears.

He deeply suspected that the boss had asked him to buy not a thermometer, but a gun, ready to execute someone at any moment.

Truly, the boss was looking quite grim.

Without much thought, Assistant Jin raced downstairs, bought a thermometer, bringing along fever medicine, ice packs, and more.

Surely a highly promising assistant.

...

In the capital city, the last metro train was crowded.

Fortunately, Gu Xi and Ning Youguang were not worried, for they had seats and could comfortably spend a long time on their phones.

Because the journey home was lengthy.

Not long after, Gu Xi, who had been scrolling through her moments, was suddenly hit by shock and tapped the shoulder of Ning Youguang, who had just put down her phone and was resting her eyes.

"What’s up?" Ning Youguang opened her eyes.

"The school idol has a fever." Gu Xi’s face was full of disbelief.

She thought today was truly remarkable.

Not only did she see her idol backstage at the concert, but also her school idol had liked her post on Moments, and he posted something new!

So, it wasn’t that her Moments wasn’t worth liking before, but rather she had been set to invisible by the school idol, right?!

After a moment of surprise, Ning Youguang took Gu Xi’s phone and looked at it carefully.

She discovered that the screen indeed displayed a recent post by Shi Wangyue. He hadn’t said anything, just posted an image.

It was a picture of an electronic thermometer showing 37.6 degrees Celsius.

The caption was aloof, a single broken heart emoji. 1314
