After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 283 - 202: Shi Wangyue, Are You Kidding Me?
Shi Wangyue looked up, blinking away the moisture gathering at the corner of his eye.
After a moment, he lowered his head and looked at Ning Youguang seriously, "Sister, please believe me!"
"You will never be, nor could you ever be, my burden and pressure."
...
When Ning Youguang came out of the small kitchen with two cups of hot milk, Shi Wangyue was already immersed in work.
Under the light, his side profile facing her was remarkably good-looking.
His brows and eyes were deep, his nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were lightly pursed.
The serious and focused expression made him resemble a finely carved plaster statue.
"A man dedicated to his career is elegant and charming; his journey is to the stars and the sea."
—She suddenly understood what the netizens meant by this phrase.
She gently placed the milk beside his hand, then she too got into work mode.
...
Dinner arrived at almost nine o’clock.
"Eat more." Ning Youguang said to Shi Wangyue.
"Okay."
She ordered everything according to his taste, with only one salad for herself.
During the meal, the two chatted casually.
They talked about Ning Youguang’s ongoing research project.
"I don’t understand," Shi Wangyue said.
Ning Youguang put down the fork in her hand, "Let me give you an analogy. For example, when the brain is startled and goes blank, the psychological process halts, but one retains clear conscious awareness, so we need to think, is consciousness an advanced form of psychological process? For instance, when consciousness is clear, our psychological processes can manifest in many forms—visual, linear, tactile, including written language, etc. What is the relationship between these forms?"
Shi Wangyue didn’t understand professional psychological knowledge, but he listened carefully to her words and tried to analyze them with his own logical thinking.
"Psychology is fluid; is there a rule for this fluidity?"
"Not yet, so we need to combine these elements for research. In terms of psychology, there’s still a lot we need to study. Right now, most psychological research focuses on marginal psychology, which in many cases does not solve practical problems," Ning Youguang fell into deep thought.
Shi Wangyue comforted, "All disciplines are progressing; humanity only needs time."
Ning Youguang smiled, "Yes, all we need is time. As long as we keep moving forward and exploring, I believe we will eventually find the answers."
...
"When will you be done with work?" Shi Wangyue asked quietly as he approached, having just come out of the bathroom and seeing Ning Youguang still working.
"Another half an hour," Ning Youguang’s fingers danced across the keyboard, not lifting her head.
"Can you be quicker?" Shi Wangyue asked softly.
"Mhm, mhm." Immersed in her work, Ning Youguang answered perfunctorily.
Shi Wangyue silently dried his hair without speaking.
After a while, he went back to the bathroom to blow-dry his hair.
Half an hour later.
"Can you give me some time too, please?"
A warm breath brushed past her ear, and Ning Youguang felt a surge of electricity run through her, her mind buzzing as if fireworks had gone off in her head.
She quickly glanced at the time and shut down her computer before swiftly dashing into the bathroom.
No need to imagine how clumsy her steps were.
...
The next morning.
Shi Wangyue got up and washed up in the bathroom.
Ning Youguang, still in bed, was woken up by the sound of his phone alarm, feeling a headache setting in.
She reached over to the bedside to grab it, groggily turned off the alarm, but while about to exit his phone, she accidentally tapped into his search screen.
The search history showed:
[Question: What would you do if the person you love is drunk and lying in bed?]
[Answer: Sleep with them!]
"..."
Ning Youguang was suddenly wide awake.
She gritted her teeth, staring at it for quite a while, and eventually chose to close the phone, burying her head under the covers.
—Act as if she hadn’t seen it.
The wisdom of life: See through but don’t point it out.
...
Blue Charm is the largest club in the capital city.
Today, Starlight Investment Fund and Manly had an appointment to discuss collaboration here. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"That President Sun is a cunning old fox." Assistant Jin reported to Shi Wangyue while climbing the steps, "The most troublesome part is, whether Manly will let us invest or not depends on his brother, Sun Qian, chairman of the Sun Group. Today we are meeting someone from the Sun Group, it’s just not clear who it will be."
"Mhm." Shi Wangyue maintained a single expression throughout in the magnificently lit club, his lips pressed tightly.
...
"President Shi, a great reputation, long admired." Manly’s boss Sun Ming entered the private room with his niece. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he warmly started a conversation with Shi Wangyue.
He wasn’t tall, a bit chubby with a round square face, always smiling with an easy-going demeanor.
Clearly he was deliberately late to posture, yet he promptly apologized as soon as he entered, blaming traffic congestion.
His sincerity left little room for doubt.
"President Sun, a pleasure to meet you." Shi Wangyue replied with a perfectly timed smile, "Please, have a seat."
"Good, good, good." After saying "good" thrice in delight, Sun Ming introduced the young lady beside him with a smile, "This is my niece, Sun Yi."
"Hello, Miss Sun." Shi Wangyue extended his hand politely.
Unexpectedly, Miss Sun didn’t immediately extend her hand but instead curled her lips, speaking in a spoiled tone, "President Shi, truly occupied with work, made us wait so long for a meal."
Her words brought silence to the room.
This tone?!
Everyone present, whether from Starlight Investment’s team or Manly’s team, was surprised.
"Miss Sun, I’m sorry, my memory is not very good, have we met before?" Shi Wangyue’s expression didn’t change as he asked politely.
"President Shi, who graduated with a master’s from MIT in the United States in just eight months, has a bad memory?" Miss Sun said irritably, "Hmph...Shi Wangyue, you must be kidding."
Looks like there’s more to this!
Eyes brightened around the room, yet faces remained utterly serious.
Seriously watching the drama.
At that moment.
The smiling tiger, Sun Ming, mediated, "Haha, I forgot to mention to President Shi, our young Yi also went to Harvard. If I remember correctly, President Shi also graduated from Harvard University. So our young Yi and President Shi are actually alumni, what a profound connection!"
Indeed profound.
Everyone thought.
After that, due to the alumni relationship between Miss Sun and Shi Wangyue, along with their positions.
The two were naturally seated together.
Even though Shi Wangyue was reluctant to have any interaction with the woman.
He knew, though, for the company to successfully partner with Manly, he couldn’t embarrass her in such a setting.
Thus, after sitting down, as Sun Yi clung to conversation, Shi Wangyue occasionally responded with indifferent replies.
Truth be told, it was only today that "Starlight Investment" realized that Manly’s difficult point person was actually Sun Ming’s niece—the Sun Group’s young lady. 1314
