The Overbearing CEO's Little Wildcat (33)

At first, Lin Shen had been surprised that President wasn't visiting Su Qiao in the hospital.

Later, he thought perhaps President was simply keeping his professional and personal lives separate.

After all, President had always been a workaholic; his life revolved around work, with no personal hobbies whatsoever.

But after several days of this, Lin Shen started to feel something was off.

Because day by day, President not only spoke less but also kept checking his phone.

Lin Shen often saw him pick it up, put it down, then pick it up again.

At the same time, his expression kept changing.

Each time he looked at his phone, his face grew a few shades darker.

He also seemed annoyed, his temples throbbing, clearly indicating extreme anger.

Lin Shen thought for a long time and finally understood the root of the problem.

Although he didn't know what friction had occurred between President and Su Qiao, President's appearance clearly showed he was waiting for someone's call or message.

"Ahem."

He lightly cleared his throat. "President, Miss Su doesn't seem to have your number yet."

Qin Mohan, who had just put down a document and was about to pick up his phone from the desk to check it, paused, a flicker of annoyance in his eyes.

Then he looked up, his gaze on Lin Shen chilling.

Lin Shen wished he could slap himself.

How could he be so stupid?

He knew President was sensitive, yet he still blurted it out.

He should have just given Su Qiao President's phone number directly.

Then, subtly suggest she call or text President. Wouldn't that have been easier?

With this thought, the self-reliant Lin Shen immediately said,

"President, Miss Su must be trying to reach you, but she doesn't have your number, so she can't find you. I'll immediately send her your phone number and WeChat."

"Mm." Qin Mohan responded softly, tapping his fingers on the desk. "And ask about her leg injury while you're at it."

"Yes." Lin Shen respectfully nodded, then quickly slipped away.

Hospital.

These past few days, Su Qiao had been doing nothing but eating and reading.

Aside from eating, she had found another interesting thing in this world.

It was related to her old profession.

Ever since she bought a few traditional medicine books about herbs online, she had completely immersed herself in an ocean of medicinal plants.

She meticulously compared the herbs of this world with those of her original world: their potency, effects, proportions, formulas, and so on.

The more she read, the more excited she became, the more stimulated she felt, the more her hands itched, and the more she wanted to visit primeval forests around the world.

If she weren't still confined to a hospital bed, she would have already flown off.

Because online shopping was so convenient, she took advantage of moments when no one was paying attention to conduct some rough experiments.

It was just that she lacked proper tools, and the setting wasn't ideal, leaving her wanting more.

Of course, she didn't neglect books on Western medicine either.

After all, even with knives, silver needles, and gold needles in her previous world, they couldn't compare to modern medical equipment.

Fortunately, her soul strength was now much greater, her mind was clear, and her memory was excellent.

Otherwise, encountering so much new information at once would likely have made her dizzy and disoriented.

When Lin Shen arrived at the hospital, he saw that the previously empty ward now had a bookshelf, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, neatly filled with numerous books.

He quickly scanned them; most were related to medicine, both traditional Chinese and Western.

The others were a bit varied: comprehensive geography, geological exploration, hydrogeology, and so on.

Moreover, a small, light pink laptop now sat on the small table by Su Qiao's bed, and she was intently staring at the screen.

"Ahem, Miss Su."

Su Qiao hadn't noticed him at first. Only when he spoke did she turn her head to glance at him, then quickly returned her attention to the computer screen.

The words Lin Shen was about to say suddenly got stuck in his throat.
