Chapter 1349: The Conspiracy Behind the Scenes 6

"Sir, there are so many women in the world, why hang yourself on one tree? How about having a drink with me, and we find a quiet place to chat?"

Shu Kaiqi knew the woman’s intentions well, and being slightly germophobic, he avoided her as if evading a venomous snake.

The strong scent of her perfume filled his nostrils, making him frown even more. His deep black eyes were exceptionally cold, causing the woman to shiver and instinctively take a step back.

"I’ll say it again, get lost!"

A trace of fear flashed in the woman’s eyes. She cursed under her breath and, swaying her hips, walked away with her drink.

Shu Kaiqi ordered another drink, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp.

Paid the bill, he turned around, ready to leave.

But at that moment, he suddenly heard a familiar yet surprised voice.

"Kaiqi?"

Shu Kaiqi turned around to see Gu Yunyun, her burgundy curls almost covering half her face. If it weren’t for her familiar voice, he wouldn’t have been sure it was her.

Leaning on a cane at the Night Bar, and on the first day of the New Year at that, Shu Kaiqi’s eyes showed a trace of complexity upon his first glance at Gu Yunyun.

"Gu Yunyun?"

Seeing that Shu Kaiqi didn’t pretend not to know her, Gu Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kaiqi, I didn’t expect to meet you here. At first, I thought I was mistaken."

Before Shu Kaiqi could speak, Gu Yunyun’s tears already started to flow.

"Kaiqi, I..."

The rest of her words were too hard to utter, and Gu Yunyun left them unsaid.

She just cried silently, looking pitiful and hesitant in front of Shu Kaiqi.

In her impression, Shu Kaiqi was an extremely warm-hearted man, almost always available to help whenever called upon in their childhood.

Having failed to ensnare Cheng Junnan, Gu Yunyun had lost all hope with him and now turned her attention to Shu Kaiqi.

Putting aside feelings, she had to make Shu Kaiqi agree to help her connect with the best cosmetic surgeon to remove the scar on her forehead.

Thinking of Cheng Junnan’s ruthlessness, Gu Yunyun was still somewhat fearful.

However, her love had turned into hatred for him, and a trace of malice flashed in her seductive eyes. With her head slightly lowered, she stood weak and pitiful in front of Shu Kaiqi.

Unfortunately, she still assumed Shu Kaiqi was the same as in childhood, not realizing he had changed.

"Gu Yunyun, what exactly do you want to say?"

If it weren’t for Uncle Gu, Shu Kaiqi wouldn’t even bother with Gu Yunyun.

He couldn’t comprehend her situation. Although discharged from the hospital, she needed to recuperate at home. Otherwise, the slightest negligence could lead to injury.

With a head injury and lucky her eyes weren’t blinded, she still wasn’t staying at home, but instead came to a bar on the first day of the New Year...

Thinking of Uncle Gu’s face filled with worry, Shu Kaiqi looked at Gu Yunyun with added coldness in his gaze.

Gu Yunyun saw it and was momentarily stunned.

Tears fell like broken beads down her cheeks.

"Kaiqi, I know it’s wrong for me to come out on New Year’s Day, but... but my face, I simply can’t stand it for another day."

"Kaiqi, you’re a doctor and a man; naturally, you know how important a woman’s face is. If a woman’s face is ruined, how can she live her life!"

Gu Yunyun’s voice wasn’t loud, but her continuous weeping quickly made her the center of attention.

Shu Kaiqi watched, frowning deeply.

"Come with me!"
