Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Boss, are you in unrequited love?

Su Meixi turned around and saw Professor Chen’s thin and stern face.

Every time she saw him, she felt a bit intimidated.

However, this time, Professor Chen actually praised her, “Su Meixi, you just performed very well, the calmest among these trainees.”

Su Meixi was praised and immediately felt deeply honored.

“Thank you for the compliment, Professor Chen.”@@novelbin@@

Professor Chen lifted his eyelids slightly, “Don’t be proud. The next lesson is about detoxification, not ordinary poison, but various international poisons, you should listen carefully.”

Detoxification?

Su Meixi hurried over to Professor Chen and asked him while walking, “Professor, do you know a poison called Lang Jian?”

“I do. Once touched even slightly by that poison, it will confuse and derail the mind, and in severe cases, it can be fatal.”

“I have a friend who isn’t in life-threatening danger, but he suffers from insomnia. Can that be cured?”

“Insomnia? That could be causing cardiovascular and neurological disorders, a mental-type condition. Actually, traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to detox.”

“How can it be detoxed?” Su Meixi asked.

Professor Chen looked at her, “The way you’re asking tells me this friend is very important to you. If you want to know, listen and study carefully tomorrow. However, I must tell you in advance that currently, neither traditional Chinese medicine nor Western medicine has a definitive treatment plan. Don’t raise your hopes too high—we can only study and learn as we go.”

Su Meixi did not continue to press on and sincerely said, “Okay, Professor Chen, I will.”

Bi Yuanhang was still standing there, watching Su Meixi.

Her eager manner of following Professor Chen impressed him greatly.

Su Meixi had always been a stubborn and indomitable girl from childhood. The more others doubted her, the more she aimed to prove herself.

Bi Yuanhang thought to himself, even though she might already have someone in her heart, just being able to watch her quietly was wonderful enough.

…

On the weekend, Zhou Yuan invited Su Meixi out for shopping again.

This time they were exploring street food, with Zhou Yuan finding a food guide online and searching for delicacies in various streets and alleys.

Taro balls, icy mung bean soup, fried shrimp balls, double-layer milk—all these were affordable and delicious offerings from old shops.

They ate until their bellies were round.

Su Meixi asked Zhou Yuan, “Didn’t you say you wanted to lose weight? Why are you eating so much sweet soup today? Aren’t you afraid of getting fat?”

Zhou Yuan replied, “Blame my dad. I told him I wanted to diet, but he keeps buying delicious things to tempt me. I couldn’t resist and gave up on dieting.”

“It’s mainly because you aren’t fat at all. Don’t diet blindly; it’s not worth harming your health over it.”

Zhou Yuan pursed her lips, “I’m just 165 cm and already 110 pounds.”

“That weight is perfectly normal. You’re not a female celebrity. Why be so thin? Isn’t it cute to be a bit chubby?”

“Then why are you so thin, Sister Su?”

“Me? Maybe it’s just my tough fate,” Su Meixi said with a smile.

…

As they were talking, they suddenly saw a crowd gathered ahead.

They also heard someone anxiously shouting, “Is there a doctor? Is there a doctor?”

Instinctively, Su Meixi rushed forward.

She pushed through the crowd and saw a girl about twelve or thirteen years old lying on the road, already fainted, with her mother crying anxiously beside her.

Su Meixi shouted, “I’m a doctor, please make way.”

The people nearby heard her and quickly cleared a space.

Zhou Yuan also followed, not able to help much, just watching from the side.

Su Meixi checked the girl’s pupils and complexion and determined it was just heatstroke.

She told the people around, “Please help carry her to the air-conditioned mall up ahead. If anyone can lend me a few bottles of iced mineral water, that would be great.”

The crowd, upon hearing her suggestion, clumsily but swiftly helped carry the girl.

Someone from a nearby shop bought a few bottles of iced mineral water for her.

Once in the cool area of the mall, Su Meixi placed the mineral water bottles under the girl’s armpits, at the base of her thighs, and around her neck—areas that could cool down quickly. She then pressed on the girl’s acupoint, inner acupoint, and temples.

The girl woke up after a while.

Upon waking, Su Meixi quickly gave her water.

Just as she was about to tell the girl’s mother to buy Huoxiang Zhengqi water, she took a closer look and realized the mother was none other than Xu Shuya.

It turned out, the girl she had just saved was her half-sister.

Xu Shuya had recognized Su Meixi right away, but because of the urgency, she hadn’t said anything, as saving her daughter was the priority.

Now, seeing that Su Meixi was looking at her, she couldn’t help but say sheepishly, “Xiao Xi, why have you come to Guang City?”

“I’m here for training,” Su Meixi replied.

“Oh, then, come to my house for dinner when you’re free.”

“The professors at the training are strict, so I might not have free time.”

“Where is the training?” Xu Shuya asked again.

Su Meixi did not answer but said, “Aunt Xu, I need to rush back to the dormitory tonight, you should hurry and get your little sister some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, it will make her feel a lot better.”

“Oh.”

At that moment, the ambulance that the onlookers had called arrived, and a doctor came down to check on the girl, asking Xu Shuya if they still needed to go to the hospital.

Considering her daughter was already out of harm, Xu Shuya decided not to spend the money.

Meanwhile, Su Meixi pulled Zhou Yuan away.

Zhou Yuan asked curiously, “Sister Su, did you know that mother and daughter? How come you seem familiar with them, yet not that familiar?”

“It’s just kind of familiar, yet not too familiar,” said Su Meixi.

Zhou Yuan: “…”

…

Camp.

Today, Gu Wei and his team were taking a break in the wild.

During the break, Gu Wei took out a photograph from his pocket.

The photograph was his wedding photo with Su Meixi, usually kept hidden in the camp, and he would occasionally take it out to look at.

While he was looking at it, someone unexpectedly snatched it away.

It was a subordinate named Xiao Ding, who was known for his playful nature during rest times. He noticed Gu Wei looking at the picture, but didn’t know who was in it, so after mentally preparing several times, he finally managed to snatch it.

“Look, boss with a girl in a photo!” Xiao Ding exclaimed excitedly.

The other subordinates hurried over to look.

Gu Wei remained seated, not trying to snatch it back.

It was just a photo, there was nothing that couldn’t be seen, besides, he had already reported it to the upper management, and the leaders of the troops knew he was married.

“Boss, I heard from Old Xing that you got married, is this the girl?”

“Boss, you didn’t even throw a wedding banquet or give us wedding candy.”

“This girl is so pretty, how did she fall for the boss?”

“Are you saying our boss isn’t handsome?”

Gu Wei smiled lightly, letting them tease.

Finally, they got bored and returned the photo to Gu Wei.

“Pfft, the boss is just a block of wood, unworthy of the girl!” Xiao Ding said indignantly.

Gu Wei smiled and put the photo away.

Xiao Ding then asked, “Boss, taking out the photo to look at during rest time, you must really love that girl, doesn’t she know how much you like her?”

Gu Wei then spoke softly, “She probably doesn’t know.”

“Is it unrequited?”

“I suppose it is.”

The subordinates were astonished after hearing this.

Who was their boss? A young and promising man, strong and talented, both talented and handsome, how could he be in unrequited love?

Gu Wei lay back down, placed his hand where the photo was, and looked at the sky.

It had been many days since he had a good night’s sleep.

…

Su Meixi had just finished her class and was about to go to the cafeteria when she heard someone calling her outside: “Su Meixi!”

Su Meixi turned her head to look.

She saw Su Qiang.
