Chapter 1247: Reaping What One Sows 3
Compared to the intense argument between Gu Qingfeng and Zhang Yuexin in the ward, Tian Tian, who left the ward, walked slowly but heard everything clearly.
Then, she quickened her pace, hurrying towards the elevator.
Zhang Ze noticed and quickly caught up.
"Madam!"
Tian Tian paused slightly and looked at Zhang Ze: "What’s the matter?"
On Zhang Ze’s delicate face, his expression was modest, and his smile was very refined.
"It’s nothing, Mr. Bai just called, asking you to go to the company after handling things here."
Tian Tian blinked, somewhat surprised.
"Go to the company?"
Seeing Zhang Ze nod, knowing it wasn’t a joke, Tian Tian, although puzzled, still smiled and nodded.
"Alright, let’s head over now!"
Zhang Ze took a deep breath, but as he was about to step into the elevator, he heard Shu Kaiqi’s voice call from behind.
"Tian Tian, wait a minute!"
Tian Tian’s steps hesitated, she turned around and looked at Shu Kaiqi walking quickly toward her.
"Doctor Shu!"
In Shu Kaiqi’s eyes flashed a hint of pain, his expression slightly hurt, but he quickly adjusted, offering a gentle smile.
"Tian Tian, I heard you’re holding the wedding celebration with Mr. Bai on the eighth of this month?"
Tian Tian nodded, and when mentioning the wedding, couldn’t help but show a sweet smile.
"Yes!"
Looking at Tian Tian’s natural smile, Shu Kaiqi found it particularly glaring, having seen such a smile many, many times in childhood.
And now, he found it incredibly difficult to meet Tian Tian.
"Is that so, then... congratulations!"
Tian Tian smiled slightly, her expression distant.
"You mentioned it last time, but thank you anyway!"
Shu Kaiqi was slightly stunned, seemingly remembering he did say it before, an unnatural expression fleeting across his handsome face, then he changed the topic.
"Well, Tian Tian, happy birthday in advance!"
Tian Tian smiled as she thanked him, polite and courteous, maintaining the necessary distance.
Although Shu Kaiqi had known it would be like this, he still couldn’t suppress the voice in his heart and stopped her.
Listening to Tian Tian’s words, his smile remained, though the bitterness and sadness briefly surfaced uncontrollably. Seeing Tian Tian frown slightly, preparing to leave, Shu Kaiqi immediately spoke.
"Can I have an invitation to your wedding?"
Tian Tian: "..."
Even if she didn’t give it, given the family lineage, the Shu family would surely attend, it’s just an obligatory courtesy.
With a slight smile, Tian Tian’s demeanor still distant: "Of course!"
In Shu Kaiqi’s slightly dim eyes, upon hearing this answer, they suddenly brightened, as if a myriad of stars converged in his eyes, shining brightly.
Tian Tian slightly averted her gaze and quickly spoke: "I still have things to attend to, so I’ll leave first!"
Shu Kaiqi knew Tian Tian held some distance towards him, so he didn’t insist on keeping her.
"Alright, I’ll look after things here with Uncle Gu, don’t worry."
Tian Tian said nothing, just turned around and entered the elevator with Zhang Ze.
Watching Tian Tian’s departing figure, a slight smile appeared on Shu Kaiqi’s lips.
The wedding... Shouldn’t Shen Tiancheng take some action?
Otherwise, that would be quite unlike Shen Tiancheng’s style.
Moreover, the competition surrounding the project in South City is growing fierce, yet Bai Chenyao chooses to hold the wedding during this time—is it genuine affection for Tian Tian, or is it to use the guise of marriage to achieve something?
Thinking of past events, Shu Kaiqi’s eyes turned icy cold.
