Chapter 674 Xiao Yunyun's Secret Was Revealed

The next day.

The effect of the drug didn't last long. At half-past six o'clock, Xiao Yunyun opened her eyes.

The sky was still not very bright, and the pale morning light came in through the curtains. The whole room was filled with a deafening silence.

Xiao Yunyun lifted the quilt and sat up. She felt as if there were thousands of sandbags on top of her head, which made her head feel heavy.

Why was it like this?

In the past, when she woke up, she could only see the bright and beautiful morning light. She could feel the clean and fresh air flowing in the room. Although she was lazy, the satisfaction after waking up was indescribably wonderful.

In just a few days, why did all the warmth and beauty disappear, only to be replaced by the cold medicine bottle and the deadly silence?

Xiao Yunyun got up with a heavy head and looked at her phone. She saw a new message on the screen.

It was from Su Yunjin.

"Yunyun, I will fly back to Australia early this morning. I won't call you in case I would disturb you from sleep. I'll come back after dealing with the company's affairs. You should take good care of yourself. If there's any trouble, you can ask your brother for help."

After reading the text message, Xiao Yunyun suddenly burst into tears.

It wasn't that she couldn't bear to part with Su Yunjin, but she felt too depressed. She had to let out her stress and tears.

Su Yunjin's departure was just a way to vent her unhappiness.

The silent tears gradually turned into wailing. Xiao Yunyun slowly squatted down and hugged herself like an innocent injured animal.

She had never been so sad and had never thought that she would experience such pain.

However, even if she endured so much pain, she still didn't regret falling in love with Shen Yuechuan.

When she firmly said that she had to apply for the medical school, Su Yunjin had said that she was too stubborn.

Now it seemed that she was more than stubborn. She was simply an incurable lunatic.

However, after she cried painfully, the big stone that blocked her heart seemed lighter. Finally, she no longer felt so much pain when breathing.

When she arrived at the hospital, she happened to meet Dr. Liang.

Dr. Liang could see at first glance that something was wrong with Xiao Yunyun's mental state. He asked tentatively, "Yunyun, is there anything wrong with you?"

"No." Xiao Yunyun subconsciously denied. "I'm fine."

Dr. Liang was dubious and gave Xiao Yunyun a reminder in advance. "Now, we should set the rule first. There can't be any more accidents in today's work. Otherwise, your internship report may not look good."

Xiao Yunyun nodded and forced out a smile. "Doctor Liang, don't worry. I promise you I'll restore my ordinary working state and work hard today!"

It turned out that the premise of working hard was to have a good sleep.

After the whole day's work, although Xiao Yunyun's performance was not as amazing as before, at least she didn't make any mistakes.

However, she gradually became reliant on Stilnox.

After lying down for more than ten minutes, she still couldn't fall asleep. Then she started wondering if she had been insomniac again. What if something went wrong with her work tomorrow?

She was a doctor. When she made a small mistake in work, it would be a matter of life and death.

Under the torture of anxiety, Xiao Yunyun had to take sleeping pills to get herself into a state of sleep under the influence of the medicine.

When she went to see the psychologist again, the doctor refused to prescribe Xiao Yunyun the medicine.

"Yunyun," the psychologist said, "I suggest that you should seek psychological consultation."

"What does she need to consult about?"

"About how to stop loving my brother?"

Xiao Yunyun subconsciously shook her head and said, "Doctor Li, I'm fine. It's just that I'm under a lot of pressure because of the postgraduate examination and have some trouble sleeping."

After Xiao Yunyun's constant pleading, the doctor asked her a few questions and made sure that she just needed sleeping pills to help her sleep without other problems. Then the doctor dared to prescribe medicine for her.

As soon as Xiao Yunyun got the medicine, Shen Yuechuan received a phone call.

Shen Yuechuan was working overtime to deal with a few documents. When he picked up the phone using a Bluetooth headset, he heard a hesitant voice.

"Ahem, Special Assistant Shen, it's me… You asked me to keep an eye on Xiao Yunyun for you. Do you still remember?"

"Are you still watching her?" Shen Yuechuan was surprised. "It's over. You can end this job now."

During this time, he had been too busy, so he had forgotten about such a thing.

The man on the other end of the line gave a long "hmm" and said, "I think… it's very likely that this job will have to go on."

Shen Yuechuan pressed the Bluetooth headset in his ear and asked, "What do you mean?"

"At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yunyun took a bottle of sleeping pills from the pharmacy of the hospital," the man said, "In fact, she had already taken a bottle of sleeping pills a few days after Miss Su revealed your identity. But then, she told the pharmacist that she was helping her friend get it, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But today, I saw her take another bottle, so I paid attention to it and investigated it. I found that no friend of hers needs sleeping pills."

Shen Yuechuan instantly put down the pen with a snap, and his expression became serious. "Do you suspect that she took the sleeping pills for herself?"

"That's right." The man hesitated for a moment and sighed. "Forget it, I'll tell you the truth. Since the day your family background was exposed, Xiao Yunyun has been making mistakes in work. She is not in a good state. But in less than three days, she has adjusted herself. I thought there was nothing important, so I didn't tell you. Now it seems… not only is there something wrong, but it is also very serious."

"I see."

Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone, picked up a few documents on the table, and went to the president's office to find Lu Boyan.

Lu Boyan was ready to get off work. When he saw Shen Yuechuan suddenly come in, he was a little confused. "What's the matter?"

Shen Yuechuan put the documents on Lu Boyan's desk. "These documents need to be settled right away. You should work overtime to deal with them. I'm going to find Yunyun."

Only then did Lu Boyan realize that Shen Yuechuan's look was unprecedentedly cold and serious. He stared at him and asked, "What's wrong with Yunyun?"

"I'm not sure yet," Shen Yuechuan said, "I need to find her."

In fact, Shen Yuechuan didn't want to be sure about it at all. He would rather prefer that it was him thinking too much.

Seeing Shen Yuechuan's urgency, Lu Boyan nodded and said, "Leave the documents to me. You can go."

When he went downstairs, Shen Yuechuan dialed Xiao Yunyun's number.

Xiao Yunyun's voice sounded the same as usual. "What?"

"Have you gotten off work yet?" Shen Yuechuan asked calmly, "Shall we have dinner together?"

"Okay." Xiao Yunyun agreed without hesitation. "Since you propose to treat me to dinner, I won't hesitate!"

Shen Yuechuan smiled. "What would you like to eat?"

Xiao Yunyun thought for a moment and said with a headache, "I haven't decided yet."

Shen Yuechuan looked at his watch and said, "It will take me another twenty minutes to reach the downstairs of your residence. You can take your time to think about it."

Xiao Yunyun answered lazily and hung up the phone.

Shen Yuechuan watched his phone return to the home screen, got in the car, and asked the driver to head to Xiao Yunyun's apartment.

In less than 20 minutes, the white Land Rover reached the apartment building. Xiao Yunyun happened to open the transparent glass door and walked out.

Shen Yuechuan got out of the car and watched Xiao Yunyun running all the way.

She had put on light makeup. When she smiled, her almond-shaped eyes were sparkling, and the corners of her lips were beautiful and pure. She looked no different from before.

Xiao Yunyun stopped in front of Shen Yuechuan and gave him a look of appreciation. "You're quite punctual!"

Shen Yuechuan asked as if he had gotten used to it, "Have you decided on how to waste my money?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yunyun said, "Come with me."

Shen Yuechuan opened the car door, but Xiao Yunyun stopped him.

"It's not necessary to drive." Xiao Yunyun pointed to the front and said, "We'll be there in a few steps. Let your driver rest for a while."

Shen Yuechuan was familiar with this area, but he couldn't remember any expensive restaurant around, so he followed Xiao Yunyun in confusion.

It was rush hour, and the sidewalk was crowded with young people walking in a hurry. Shen Yuechuan was dressed in a fitting suit, and his tall and straight figure was already eye-catching enough. However, he had a handsome and extraordinary face, and girls were looking back at him all the way.

Only then did Xiao Yunyun realize that she had made a wrong decision.

No matter how close the place was, she should let Shen Yuechuan ride in the car.

It was a disaster to the world to let such a charming monster out!

Xiao Yunyun couldn't help pulling Shen Yuechuan. "Hurry up, or you'll cause a traffic jam, and the traffic police will come to you."

Shen Yuechuan smiled and followed Xiao Yunyun closely.

What he didn't expect was that Xiao Yunyun would take him to a small noodle house.

It could be seen that the noodle shop had been opened for a few years. The decoration in the shop was still the same as that of the city A decades ago. The yellow and old lights shone on the simple and crude wooden signboard, and there was no eye-catching place.

However, there was a long line waiting to order.

Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun in surprise. "What's the background of this shop?"

"Nothing special. It just has a long history." Xiao Yunyun pulled Shen Yuechuan to line up. "The noodles here are definitely better than the spaghetti you've tasted in the five-star hotels!"

Shen Yuechuan looked at the line of people in front of him and was about to look at his watch. After thinking for a while, he put down his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll accompany you."

Every minute of his was precious.

If it was someone else, he would definitely not waste time waiting in line with her just to eat a small bowl of noodles.

However, Xiao Yunyun could be an exception.

Looking at Shen Yuechuan's action, Xiao Yunyun felt as if something had been injected into her heart, which made her heart ache and soft.

She looked at Shen Yuechuan's profile, unable to look away no matter how hard she tried.

What should she do? She seemed to have been trapped deeper.

Shen Yuechuan had always been sensitive to others' gaze. He turned his head and happened to meet Xiao Yunyun's eyes in the air.

Perhaps it was his illusion. At that moment, Xiao Yunyun's eyes were hazy and soft. It was not the look of a sister at all.

It was more like the look of a girl who had something on her mind when she looked at the person she loved deeply.

Shen Yuechuan was shocked by his own thoughts. Before he could react, Xiao Yunyun asked him, "What kind of noodles would you like to eat?"

"… You can make the decision for me."

In fact, Shen Yuechuan couldn't make any decision now.

If his guess was correct, then… everything would be out of control.

Xiao Yunyun didn't know that she had exposed herself at all. She greeted the aunt, who was taking orders, and asked for two bowls of braised beef noodles.

"It's thirty yuan." The old auntie looked at Shen Yuechuan with a smile. "Sweetie, is this your boyfriend?"

Xiao Yunyun hurriedly shook her head. "No, he is my elder brother."

The woman looked for the change when she said with an "oh" at the same time, "You two are both so beautiful. Your family genes are really good!"
