The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Is Second Brother Secretly in Love with Mimi? Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Is Second Brother Secretly in Love with Mimi? My sister’s past must have been so hard!

Shen Zhongshuang’s mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic images, and he even began to involuntarily imagine just how miserable Qingwu and their grandmother’s days had been…

Qingwu calmly watched Shen Zhongshuang as he imagined a grand drama in his head.

“Second brother, can you help me give him a shot of tetanus medication?”

“I’ll go get it.”

Pei Jue had several metallic puncture wounds on his body, and Shen Zhongshuang also noticed those injuries, knowing that the consequences of not treating them promptly were unthinkable. Without another word, he got up and left.

Only Qingwu and Pei Jue remained in the office.

She handed the shirt to Pei Jue, her usually somewhat aloof face showing a hint of concern that even she hadn’t noticed.

“Don’t do such things next time. If something happened to you, what would Elder Pei do?”

Pei Jue looked up at Qingwu and smiled: “It’s okay, Grandpa has experience with these kinds of things.”

Elder Pei would still prefer not to have that experience, right?

Qingwu rolled her eyes unconvinced.

Watching her lively little gestures, Pei Jue felt his heart brighten considerably, as if she became more vivid in front of him…

All that he had done was, after all, worth it!

“Pei Jue, don’t do such things next time.”

Qingwu looked down at Pei Jue, “At least, you should have taken me along.”

“What if I said this is my own affair? That I did it willingly?”

“Then the thing you brought back is yours; I don’t want it. But if you think you took it for me, then this matter involves me too.”

She’s not someone who likes to hide behind others. Although experiencing the protection of the Shen Family from time to time is nice, Qingwu wouldn’t let others stand in front and charge into battle for her!

What she likes is always moving forward together!

If… she were to consider being with Pei Jue, she wouldn’t want to hide behind him either!

Pei Jue was initially surprised, then burst into laughter once he understood what Qingwu meant. His hand rested on her waist, his head pressed against her abdomen as he laughed in a muffled voice.

The sound of it was indescribably joyful and liberating.

“Alright, I won’t hide things from you next time. If there are any plans, I won’t make decisions for you either.”

Qingwu let him hold her, speaking seriously: “Also, you using the scent of cologne to cover up your wounds is very foolish.”

“Don’t like the smell of wormwood?”

Pei Jue deliberately steered the topic elsewhere, and Qingwu, realizing his intention, didn’t call him out.

“Not very fond of it.”

“Then tell me what fragrance Qingwu likes, I’ll spray it when I see you next time. Making my friends happy is also a nice thing to do.”

Shen Zhongshuang came back with the tetanus medication just in time to hear what Pei Jue had said.

He couldn’t help but blurt out, “President Pei, what little tricks are you playing now?”

Is it that he doesn’t understand how people date these days?

What kind of development is this!

Pei Jue raised an eyebrow, “Doctor Shen, I heard from my subordinates that Ms. Su went to another hospital to dress her wounds. Is she not interested in your hospital?”

No matter what, there’s no possibility of her not being interested in the hospital.

The only possibility is that it’s not the hospital she’s uninterested in, but the person in the hospital!

Shen Zhongshuang’s eyelid twitched.

Yet he spoke with an air of nobility, “Whichever hospital she goes to is her freedom. One should choose a place that is convenient for their medical treatment.”

Pei Jue responded with just a smile, taking the medication from Shen Zhongshuang’s hand and handing it to Qingwu.

Shen Zhongshuang almost exploded with irritation!

“President Pei, my sister doesn’t know how to do intravenous injections, are you doubting my medical skills?”

Pei Jue replied indifferently: “No, I distrust a doctor whose emotions aren’t stable. Doctor Shen, just look in the mirror and you’ll know how ugly your expression is. Pei’s biggest trait is valuing his life.”

Qingwu held back the smile at the corner of her mouth, took over the medication, and injected it smoothly and proficiently.

Shen Zhongshuang was somewhat lost for words.

“Is my expression really that ugly?”

Qingwu nodded, “Yeah, it’s quite ugly. Big brother, if you like Mimi, you should pursue her.”

“I am serious and responsible towards my patients, how does that translate to liking her?”

“Big brother, anyone with eyes can see it. Last time mom even asked me when you and Mimi are getting married.”

Shen Zhongshuang’s eyes widened, and the next second his ears turned red. Faced with his sister’s calm and seemingly all-seeing gaze, Shen Zhongshuang just wanted to find a crack in the ground to stuff himself into…

“Big brother, Mimi is great, but if you don’t take the initiative, she probably won’t either.”

Su Mi’s thoughts are very delicate; growing up on her own since childhood, she has her own way of thinking about worldly matters and emotions, whether it’s Shen Zhongshuang himself or the Shen Family’s background, it’s destined that Su Mi won’t be too proactive.

Shen Zhongshuang covered his face, and simply squatted down on the ground to rub his somewhat hot cheeks.

“Qingwu, if you were in Mimi’s position, liking Pei Jue, would you take the initiative to pursue him?”

Qingwu was somewhat speechless. How did Shen Zhongshuang throw such a question at her?

She met Pei Jue’s amused gaze and also smiled along.

“I wouldn’t, because he would pretend he’s a DiDi driver.”

Pei Jue also felt somewhat embarrassed by the past incident that Qingwu poked fun at!

At that time, it was all a misunderstanding, but Pei Jue really thought that Qingwu became an assassin due to her family’s poverty. To avoid her distancing herself from him because of her family’s status, Pei Jue chose that full-of-holes excuse…

Shen Zhongshuang: “But didn’t you see through it back then?”

Qingwu is a smart person, and with High Tower in hand, Deep Sea’s business operations wouldn’t be worse than High Tower’s. Pei Jue’s income alone would certainly not push him to drive for DiDi.

It’s just that she thought he might have some unspeakable difficulties, and she didn’t want to probe too deeply, or perhaps… at that time, she wasn’t interested in Pei Jue’s affairs either.

“It’s not important. What’s important is, big brother, are you really not planning to pursue Mimi? I have a friend who is quite interested in Mimi.”

Shen Zhongshuang immediately stood up, his movement too abrupt, nearly hitting his head.

“Your what friend? What did Mimi say?”

Shen Zhongshuang visibly looked nervous and restless.

The children of the Shen Family, none of them have much experience in love.

Shen Zhongshuang also doesn’t know if he likes Su Mi!

It’s just that every time he sees Su Mi, he can’t help but want to care for her!

When he can’t see her, he would hang around near the underground boxing ring, and if he really runs into Su Mi, she would ask him why he’s loitering about…

Heaven knows how busy he is, with endless meetings and research, but if he doesn’t see her, Shen Zhongshuang always feels an emptiness inside!

“I just think, with so many things happening in her family, going to bother her now would probably be annoying, right?”

Shen Zhongshuang’s expression was somewhat forlorn!

“And, she… doesn’t like me.”

For Shen Zhongshuang, Su Mi is just too outstanding.

She’s smart and beautiful, capable in everything she does. She has a resilience and vitality about her that seem to shine, a vibrant charm that Shen Zhongshuang lacks!

He admires Su Mi’s solitary courage, respects her perseverance, and feels pain for her tragic past…

Are these feelings what you call ‘like’?

Qingwu also lacks dating experience. To tell the truth, the emotional lives of the Shen Family children are all blank pages!

“So, big brother, does this mean you have an unrequited love for Mimi?”
