The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 291: Chapter 290: This Logic, So Powerfully Convincing!

“What’s the matter?”

Xiao Qimo came from behind and saw her frowning delicately, looking a bit at a loss – it was that endearingly cute kind of disorientation.

“Nothing. I need to go to the hospital.”

“What happened?” Xiao Qimo asked, already slipping off his slippers and getting ready to accompany her. His long arm hooked a trench coat from the clothes rack, and he didn’t forget to call Ye Jinwen.

Ye Jinwen floated over, slightly excited, “Little Mianmian, who’s going to the hospital? I’m super familiar with that place, if there’s anything just tell your brother!”

Thinking of Xiao Qimo’s role as the director of the department, Lu Mian decisively refused, “I can go by myself.”

Xiao Qimo’s hand, still hooked on the trench coat, paused, unable to conceal his disappointment, “You don’t need me?”@@novelbin@@

“Well… maybe Brother Ye can go with me.”

At the sound of “Brother Ye,” Ye Jinwen was over the moon, floating on air. Lu Mian had always just called him “Dr. Ye” before, and he accepted the offer with pride, “Sure thing!”

Xiao Qimo quietly put the coat back, his eyes slightly narrowed behind his glasses, casting a shadow from his long eyelashes.

His mood was very bad now; he felt like he couldn’t even compare to Ye Jinwen.

Well then… let Ye Jinwen accompany Mo Nie.

“Um… Director Qimo.” Lu Mian tilted her head, sensing the oppressive atmosphere, and added in a gentle tone, “Didn’t you say that eating beef makes you fierce, and eating pomegranates makes you gentle?”

Xiao Qimo nodded. She actually remembered all the nonsense he had spouted before.

“Then you stay at home and peel pomegranates for me, you peel them really well!”

“…”

Xiao Qimo smiled gently, his eyes and brows instantly softened.

He thought that Ye Jinwen might not be too bad after all.

The clueless Dr. Ye, scratching the back of his somewhat chilly head, led Lu Mian away in a daze.

Along the way, Lu Mian explained the whole situation to him.

Ye Jinwen’s expression was subtle, “So, you took action just to get back earlier?”

“Yeah, otherwise the food would get cold.”

Ye Jinwen: This logic is unbeatable!

He glanced at Lu Mian sitting in the passenger seat, noticing her eyes flickering. As a psychologist, he began to wonder, was it really that simple?

When they arrived at the hospital, Ye Jinwen immediately went to check Lei Shuqi’s medical records.

Lu Mian asked around at the nurses’ station and found out that Lei Shuqi was staying in the VIP ward, and she made her way there.

Inside the room stood about five or six people, huddled together discussing something. When they saw Lu Mian knocking on the glass door, the room fell silent.

Lu Xi opened the door to let her in.

Sheng Zijin also looked up, seemingly taking a serious look at Lu Mian for the first time.

But Lu Mian wasn’t looking at her; she was only staring at the man on the hospital bed.

She stared for a long while without speaking, until Lei Shuqi’s cheeks flushed red, then she finally spoke languidly, “You’re so weak.”

Lei Shuqi’s shy pink swiftly turned into a crimson of humiliation.

This girl’s words were too choking!

The other boys each stepped forward, wanting to stand up for Lei Shuqi.

Sheng Zijin waved her hand to calm them down and walked over with a tone that brooked no refusal, “Lu Mian, I can’t tell you about Shuqi’s background. But you hit someone today; you ought to give him an explanation.”

“Right! We can’t just let this go!”

“It’s just asking for contact information, your reaction was too much…”

Lu Xi looked at Lu Mian apologetically, wanting to say something on her behalf, but Lu Mian shook her head at him, indicating she accepted what Sheng Zijin said.

“I can let him hit me back,” said the girl nonchalantly.

As long as he could beat her.

“Lu Mian you…” Sheng Zijin, who was from a scholarly family, watched the nonchalant and unbridled girl with knitted brows, “Fighting doesn’t solve anything. Shuqi, say something. We all support your decision.”
