6 Love's Seduction, Shameless Scoundrel

Bo Su hugged her tightly and reminded her, "If you don't wish to announce our identities for the time being, I respect your opinion. But in private, shouldn't you call me husband?"

Yan Shu blushed in embarrassment.

"I…" She stammered for a long time, but no words came out.

Bo Su lowered his head and saw that Yan Shu's face was even redder than a monkey's butt. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The women around him were all flirtatious and unrestrained. In order to get close to him, they were shameless in their methods. A shy girl like Yan Shu was as rare as a treasure.

Bo Su let go of her and did not make things difficult for her. "Remember to miss me."

Yan Shu nodded. "Yes."

Bo Su got into the car and took one last look at Yan Shu before driving away slowly.

Yan Shu cupped her burning face with both hands and was secretly annoyed. "What's wrong with calling him 'husband'? After all, he already was her husband."

Yan Shu's three-day annual leave was up so she went to work the next day.

At the entrance of the psychiatric department's consultation room, she bumped into her supervisor. He was in a hurry, heading towards the conference room, but stopped abruptly when he saw Yan Shu.

Sounding like he was asking for advice, he told her, "Doctor Yan, there's a doctoral intern in our department. The higher-ups think highly of him. You know that our department has always been short of doctors. If he performs well, the higher-ups are prepared to keep him. Help me to observe and evaluate him."

Yan Shu nodded calmly. "Alright."

Her position in this department was quite awkward. She was second to none in terms of professionalism and fame. However, she was young and had no academic qualifications or connections. Therefore, until now, her position was still that of an ordinary doctor.

But whenever the higher-ups came across any sort of professional assessment, they would think of her, the academic overachiever.

The chief physician took a few steps and turned around. "By the way, Dr. Yan, that intern doctor, is 29 years old. He's especially good-looking and also talented. We all think that he's a good match for you. Do you want to consider quitting your singlehood?"

Yan Shu was stunned. It was probably due to the fact that Gu Yucheng had never visited her at work while they were dating. That was why the director mistakenly thought that she was single.

"Director, I have a fiancé." Yan Shu was unwilling to reveal her unconventional flash marriage, so her answer was exceptionally conservative.

The director was stunned. "Huh? Oh." The director smiled awkwardly at his oversight.

Yan Shu exhaled in relief.

After the director left, Yan Shu turned around and walked towards the consultation room. However, at the door of the consultation room, she encountered her nemesis and froze on the spot.

Gu Yucheng's tall and slim figure was standing in the dimly lit corridor. Dressed in a white lab coat, his inscrutable gaze was fixed on her.

Yan Shu was enlightened. So the intern that the director just mentioned was Gu Yucheng?

Gu Yucheng's slightly sullen voice sounded in the quiet corridor. "Yan Shu, how could you be so heartless as to leave my mother and sister in the hospital? Do you know how anxious they were when they didn't have the money to pay for the medical bills?"

Yan Shu was stunned.

She wanted to completely ignore Gu Yucheng and cut off all ties with him. However, the thought of her hard-earned savings still being in his possession made her grit her teeth and approach him while suppressing her disgust.

"Gu Yucheng, what right do you have to condemn me? I have nothing to do with you now, let alone your mother. Why should your mother use my money when she's sick?"

Gu Yucheng did not expect Yan Shu, who had always been at his beck and call, to suddenly become so calculative. He was not used to this assertive side of Yan Shu.

"Yan Shu, although you heartlessly abandoned my mother in the hospital, I still have to thank you for being so kind as to send her to the hospital. I, Gu Yucheng, am not willing to owe you a favor. Are you free tonight? Ziwen and I will treat you to a meal." His anger turned into impatience and an insincere invitation.

Yan Shu rolled her eyes to the ceiling and said speechlessly, "Gu Yucheng, if you have the money to treat me, return the money you owe first."

Gu Yucheng was furious. "Yan Shu, why do you love money so much now? Is money all that's left of our ten-year relationship? Don't keep asking me to repay you every time we meet. Rest assured, I have already started my internship, and I'll be a full-time employee soon. As soon as I have a salary, the first thing I'll do is repay you."

Yan Shu retorted, "What else is there between us other than money?" With that, Yan Shu turned to leave wearing a dark expression on her face.

Gu Yucheng suddenly stopped her. "Yan Shu…"

Yan Shu stopped in her tracks, looking forward to what he had to say.

But when she turned her head, she only subjected herself to further insult. She heard Gu Yucheng warning her, "You know that Ziwen and I are already at the stage of discussing marriage. So, I hope you understand that there's no more hope between us. Please don't tell anyone that I was once your fiancé. It wouldn't be good if Ziwen misunderstands that we still have feelings for each other."

Yan Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't flatter yourself. My fiancé has absolutely nothing to do with you," she said.

A hint of doubt appeared in Gu Yucheng's eyes. "Don't tell me that you have a new lover after breaking up with me for just a few days. Yan Shu, this is unlike you."

Yan Shu was loyal and devoted in her relationships. This was Gu Yucheng's summary of Yan Shu.

Yan Shu stared at Gu Yucheng, the disappointment in her eyes was spreading quickly. This guy knew that she was a devoted lover, but he still betrayed their relationship.

He was so cruel to her.

"Gu Yucheng, I f*cking regret knowing you." She left angrily.

During her lunch break, Yan Shu missed out on dining at the cafeteria because she was delayed by consultations with her patients.

She had planned to go to the noodle shop outside the hospital to eat her least favorite noodles just to fill her stomach, but unexpectedly, her parcels arrived one after another.

Deliverymen from various companies entered her consultation room in an endless stream. Roses, a nutritious lunch, fruits and snacks instantly filled up her desk.

This scene quickly attracted the attention of her colleagues. Gu Yucheng was among them.

"Dr. Yan, are these flowers given to you by your admirer?"

"Our Dr. Yan is so beautiful, with a great temperament and a gentle personality. She must have so many admirers waiting in line for her."

The expression on Gu Yucheng's face was ghastly.

Those flowers were making him feel quite uncomfortable.

After all, when Yan Shu was with him, he had never given her anything as extravagant as this.

Yan Shu's personality was dull and boring to begin with. She had no desire for materialistic things and she only pursued excellence in academics. He always thought that she didn't like such fancy things.

However, in the next moment, he saw Yan Shu pull out a card from the bouquet. He didn't know what she saw, but her expressionless face suddenly turned into a bright smile.

That smile was mixed with a hint of shyness and sweetness. This was the Yan Shu he had never seen before. He never knew that she could look so alluring and charming.

Yan Shu's colleague, Dr. Li, mischievously pulled out the card from her hand and read it aloud in front of everyone.
