C37 (2/2)
”Finished packing? Here, eat! ”
As Sun Chun said this, he stuffed the food box in his hands into Xia Li's hands and walked down the first floor by himself.
Xia Li opened the lunchbox. Other than the one layer of Soup Dumplings missing, the rest of the two floors were filled with white, tender, and fragrant white buns.
This was the best time and place Xia Li had ever lived in, and was also the man that she had saved. He had left her all the delicious things he had to eat, and Xia Li was a little touched.
When she came to the first floor, Sun Chun was currently sitting next to Ding Liang. It was unknown what the two of them were talking about, but Ding Liang, who was previously respectful to her, had now actually shown all of the records he showed her, as well as the accounts for selling painkillers, to Sun Chun.
Seeing Xia Li walking over, Ding Liang immediately smiled and welcomed him.
”Miss Xia Li, that Young Master Sun is your hubby, right?”
”…”
Xia Li wanted to warn Ding Liang not to let anyone see the accounts between them, but when they heard what Ding Liang said, they were all stunned.
”My wife, why are you still daydreaming? Yesterday, we tested the character of Grand Master Ding together, and it was already a bit impolite. Grand Master Ding is very magnanimous, not only did he not openly expose us, he even sent us food and drinks.
Sun Chun walked over, held the dazed Xia Li and pulled her back to the first floor Ding Liang's hospital guest area's seats.
Xia Li secretly glared at Sun Chun, and without leaving a trace, he pulled his hand back from Sun Chun's grasp, and smiled at Ding Liang.
”I'm sorry, Grand Master Ding, we did do something wrong yesterday.”
”Grand Master Ding, please keep this register and account books. This is, after all, a rather important item.”
Xia Li reminded Ding Liang with a smile.
”Alright.”
As Ding Liang said this, he took the two books and brought them into his own study, locking it.
Sun Chun sipped on his tea leisurely while holding his teacup, staring at Xia Li who was on guard against him, his heart was slightly disappointed, but he still acknowledged Xia Li's caution.
”Young Master Sun, Miss Xia Li, this time, both of you husband and wife have been monitoring me for so long. In the future, do you trust me, or do you think I am an unreliable person?”
Ding Liang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, still looking very nervous.
Towards the matter of bringing Sun Chun to the Red River Town, Xia Li felt that probing Ding Liang was still rather unsuccessful. Whether it was her probing of him or the namelist that Ding Liang gave her, they were all under Ding Liang's nose, and it would be hard to discover anything.
The worst thing was that she had been bickering with Sun Chun the moment she came back, and she had never asked him about his opinion of Ding Liang in detail. Now that he had come to personally ask about it, Xia Li felt that it was a little difficult.
”Grand Master Ding, you are a reliable person.”
Sun Chun held onto Xia Li's wrist, and replied.
Xia Li looked at Sun Chun who came to a conclusion in shock, but only for an instant, his complexion recovered back to normal, and smiled at Ding Liang, agreeing with what Sun Chun had said.
”Ah, Miss Xia Li, Young Master Sun, you finally approve of me. I can't eat well in the past two days, I can't sleep.”
Ding Liang stabilized his mind, holding onto a cup of tea, he gulped it down.
”Grand Master Ding, my wife and I have disturbed you for the past two days. I am truly sorry.
As Sun Chun said this, he pulled Xia Li along and stood up. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Ding Liang, they left Ding Liang's hospital.
After walking a short distance, Xia Li grabbed onto Sun Chun's wrist and asked in confusion.
”Why did you directly say that Ding Liang is reliable? There's no way the two of us could find out, and it's true that there's no problem with Ding Liang at all. What we're seeing right now, is what he's willing to show us.”
Ding Liang has practiced for many years and the commoners around him have a reputation for being loyal to him. If he did not have good medical ethics, then he could have disguised himself very well. Just what kind of person is he?
Sun Chun pinched Xia Li's shoulder, and asked sincerely.
”Forget about Ding Liang, how much trust do you have in me?”
Xia Li did not expect Sun Chun to ask her that, and staring at her probing eyes, she took a step back, pulling away from Sun Chun.
Smiling faintly, she turned around and walked toward the Li Village with large strides.
Sun Chun looked at Xia Li who was walking far away, the corners of his mouth curled up, this woman still had a little brain, but the disappointments in his heart continued to grow, no matter how much the warm sunlight hit his body, he could not feel a single bit of warmth, only an endless emptiness and coldness.
Even though he was already accustomed to this sort of feeling.
Xia Li stretched out his arm to cover the gradually growing sunlight above his head, and passed through the bustling crowd. After walking two steps, he turned around to look, but Sun Chun seemed to be thinking of something and didn't move forward.
