Chapter 371: Saved by a fierce and rough boss
Wen Yang hurriedly stood under the eaves of the restaurant.
Fortunately, the restaurant owner was a nice guy and didn't mind her standing at the door to avoid the rain.
Wen Yang stood at the door for a long time before gradually calming down.
But thinking back to the scene when I was targeted by the bad guy just now, I still feel a little scared.
She looked up at the sky. The thick dark clouds were still rolling around, with no sign of stopping in the short term. Just when she was feeling a little anxious about the rain.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the rain, walking hurriedly towards her street.
When the person was almost in front of him, Wen Yang tentatively called out, "Auntie?"
The figure who was walking quickly in the rain stopped immediately when he heard Wen Yang call him "Auntie" and looked in Wen Yang's direction.
When the edge of the umbrella was lifted up a little, Wen Yang and Wen Minfang looked at each other.
Wen Minfang saw Wen Yang standing soaking wet at the door of a restaurant on the street. She immediately approached Wen Yang with an umbrella. When she got closer, she realized that Wen Yang was also soaked. She exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God, Yangyang, why are you here and you are soaked!"
Thinking of what she had just experienced, in order to avoid worrying her aunt, she did not tell her that she had just been followed by a patient from the clinic. Instead, she forced a smile and replied, "Aunt, I just came out of the clinic and it started raining. I thought it was just a drizzle, but it turned out to be getting heavier, so I'm taking shelter here for the time being."
Wen Minfang looked at Wen Yang's wet clothes with distress. She pulled Wen Yang under the umbrella and said, "Let's go home and change into dry clothes so we don't catch a cold."
Wen Yang nodded obediently, walked under the umbrella, and followed Wen Minfang back home.
Along the way, Wen Minfang blamed herself very much and said that she should have come to deliver the umbrella earlier.
Wen Yang quickly comforted her: "Aunt, it's not your fault. The rain came too suddenly. If you hadn't come now, I don't know when I would be able to go back."
Wen Minfang couldn't help but feel even more distressed after hearing Wen Yang's sensible words.
So she said nothing more and quickened her pace to go home.
After returning home, Wen Minfang immediately got busy. Fortunately, she had already boiled hot water for bathing before going out.
She pushed Wen Yang into the bathroom and urged him, "Go take a bath to ward off the cold. I'll make you some ginger soup."
After hearing this, Wen Yang obediently went to take a shower.
After she came out of the shower, Wen Minfang immediately stuffed a cup of thick ginger soup into her hand. Wen Minfang even added some brown sugar to it to balance the spicy taste of ginger.
But even so, when Wen Yang brought the cup in front of him, the pungent smell still rushed straight to his head.
She frowned slightly, but still took a sip.
The moment it entered her mouth, the strong flavor of ginger spread in her mouth, so spicy that she shivered involuntarily.
Thinking that a short pain is worse than a long one, Wen Yang blew the ginger soup to a suitable temperature, then pinched his nose and drank the whole cup.
When Wen Minfang saw Wen Yang finish the ginger soup, a look of admiration flashed in her eyes. She reached out and took the cup that Wen Yang handed back, and said with a smile, "Yangyang is really worry-free. I asked your cousin Chuntao to drink ginger soup before, and she resisted it as if I was feeding her poison. She even cried to me when I asked her to drink it."
After hearing what Wen Minfang said, Wen Yang smiled faintly, "Aunt, Cousin Chuntao is still young, so it's inevitable that she might be a little afraid of spicy food."
Wen Minfang shook her head helplessly. "It would be great if this child was as sensible as you." Then she paused and continued, "You had a hard day at Dr. Song's today, and you got caught in the rain when you came back. You should rest early today. If you feel unwell tomorrow, be sure to tell your aunt. Don't carry it all on your own."
Wen Yang felt warm in his heart, and replied softly, "Don't worry, auntie, I'm fine. I drank the ginger soup and now I feel much better."
"Okay, okay, that's good. Go back to your room and rest."
Wen Yang nodded obediently and went back to his room.
After returning to the room, Wen Yang lay down on the bed. She had just drunk a bowl of ginger soup, and her whole body was warm and a little dry, and she had no desire to sleep at all.
The eyes of the man holding a black umbrella whom I saw in the rain today appeared unconsciously in my mind.
When she looked up at him, the man's ink-black eyes emitted a cold light against the backdrop of the rain.
Just a moment of eye contact made her heart skip a beat.
She originally wanted to forget the scene in the rain today, but she couldn't forget it no matter how hard she tried. The more she tried to forget, the more clear-headed she became.
It was only after her cousin Chuntao returned to the room and chatted with her for a while, which diverted her attention, that she gradually felt sleepy.
The next day, Wen Yang woke up very early.
It rained all night and has stopped.
After getting up, washing, and having some breakfast at home, she hurried off to work at the clinic.
When she passed by the restaurant where she took shelter from the rain yesterday, the figure of the man holding a black umbrella in the rain yesterday unconsciously emerged in her mind again.
As she walked, she shook her head and quickened her pace, trying not to think about what happened yesterday.
However, when she finally arrived at the clinic and opened the door, she saw the man with the cold eyes from yesterday sitting on a bamboo chair in the courtyard of the clinic.
Perhaps he heard the sound of the door opening, and the man sitting on the bamboo chair glanced over leisurely.
However, when he saw the figure at the door clearly, he was also stunned.
The woman in front of me was the one I met in the rain yesterday.
Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows, a flash of alertness in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
Seeing this, Song Lan stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Cheng, do you know her? She's the handyman we just hired yesterday."
When Cheng Zheng heard this, he became even more alert, and thought of the woman who suddenly rushed under his umbrella in the rain yesterday. Could it be... that this was another person arranged by his uncle in Beijing?
Wen Yang was also shocked when she heard Song Lan call this man Mr. Cheng. She didn't expect that the person she casually sought help from on the street yesterday was actually the Mr. Cheng that Song Lan was talking about!
To avoid Song Lan misunderstanding that she had ulterior motives, Wen Yang quickly denied it. "No, no, I don't know him. How could such a big shot as Mr. Cheng know me? Sister Lan, what should I do today?"
Seeing Wen Yang's eager denial, Cheng Zheng felt that he didn't seem to want to get close to him, so his doubts were not dispelled and he remained a little wary.
No matter what, he couldn't let a woman of unknown origin get close to him.
