Chapter 22 - Useless Thank You

"What's going on here?" The door of the office room opened as a woman in her mid-twenties walked out.

Short hair tied in a messy braid as her bangs rested above her eyebrow, beautiful almond-shaped round eyes hidden behind round glasses. Dressed in a short plain pink dress, the woman was very simple yet charismatic in her own way.

The old man who rebuked Li Shuang's action earlier stood up, "Dr. Shi, we've all made appointments to get to see you but this girl here tries to barge in again and again."

Shi Luo tilted her head to look at the girl they were talking about, "Miss Lan," She nodded at her.

The rest of the crowd was shocked. Seems like Dr. Shi really knows her.

Li Shuang sighed in relief, "Dr. Shi, I…"

Shi Luo cut her off before she could continue, "Rules are rules. You should make an appointment and wait in the queue rather than making a ruckus. Last time was a special situation but that should not make you forget the rules," She indifferently said.

"But they only allow thirty people to make appointments. I missed it. You only come once a month. What was I supposed to do?" Li Shuang helplessly said.

Shi Luo shook her head, "Whatever it is, you should try other ways rather than making a ruckus here. This is a hospital, there are other patients here. You are too inconsiderate, aren't you?"

Li Shuang had a desperate expression on her face as she begged the woman with her eyes but the latter ignored her.

"Talk to her," Yu Mei, who was silent till this point spoke up.

"Excuse me?" Shi Luo adjusted her glasses as she looked at the girl who talked to her in a commanding tone.

A fat girl donned in a long white lacy dress came to her view. Her skin didn't have a single spot on it. She stood folding her arms across her chest.

"Miss mole on the cheek, you should talk to her," Yu Mei softly said as she looked at the woman.

Shi Luo stiffened. ''You…." Her eyes widened as she took a step back in disbelief.

What did she call her? Miss mole on the cheek? Isn't that...

The rest of the people waiting in the corridor glanced at the doctor's face trying to search for a mole on her cheek but there was none. They were here to see the doctor but the current situation seemed to be going out of their comprehension.

Shi Luo kept looking at Yu Mei as if she was trying to search for something in her.

Yu Mei took a step towards her, "Friday is ours. Won't you do as I say?" She softly asked.

'Those eyes..' Shi Luo sucked in a deep breath before looking at the patients queuing up in the corridor, "Everyone, I deeply apologize but I will not be available for today.

The patients looked at each other, puzzled. Who is this fat girl? What was she saying?

They were all dissatisfied after what Shi Luo said. They made great efforts just to make an appointment in time to get to see the world-famous dermatologist but everything was in vain.

Looking at their expressions, Shi Luo, "I'll be available for another day at Sunshine Hospital. So, your appointments will not be void. You all can come tomorrow."

"Thank you, Dr. Shi," They thanked her in unison before leaving one by one.

Shi Luo glanced at Yu Mei who was leaning against the wall, "Wait for me inside the office."

Yu Mei nodded, "Come fast after talking to her," She said pointing at Li Shuang.

Li Shuang looked at her coldly, "I won't be thanking you for this."

"Your thank you is pretty useless for me," Yu Mei waved her hand before entering the office.

Li Shuang averted her gaze as she looked at Shi Luo who was looking towards the closed door. "Dr. Shi…" She called out.

Inside the office room.

Yu Mei fiddled with the paperweight on the glass desk as she leaned back on the swivel chair. She made some proper excuses in front of Jun Zixuan but did he believe her? Or would he keep doubting her intentions? The previous owner's self-harming and scheming actions have always kept the man on guard with her.

Regardless, as long as he didn't act like a possessive caveman investigating her whereabouts or trailing after her activities, she was fine with him staying cautious of her.

'Bang.'

The door opened and slammed shut with a loud sound startling her in the process. She snapped out of her daze before turning her chair around only to find Shi Luo walking towards her with a strange expression on her face.

The woman stood in front of her. Grabbing the arms of the chair in both her hands, Shi Luo lowered herself to Yu Mei's level before observing her from a close distance. Her gaze lingered on the spotless translucent fluffy round face for a few seconds before she looked straight into her starry eyes.

Those striking pair of eyes…they reminded her of that person. But how is this possible?

Shi Luo lowered her body even further before sniffing Yu Mei's neck.

The door opened once again as Li Shuang entered inside, "Dr. Shi, I forgot to give you the thank you…. gift.." Her jaw dropped when she saw the scenarios inside the office room.

Yu Mei's bulging body was settled on the swivel chair while Shi Luo had her face pressed closer to her neck. The suggestive position…

Shi Luo stood up in an instant before straightening her body.

"I didn't mean to interrupt," Li Shuang awkwardly said. The next moment, she thought of something before looking at Shi Luo, "You should be careful of people around you. There are scheming bitches everywhere," She spared Yu Mei a fleeting glare before walking out of the office room.

Yu Mei: "_"

I was the innocent one here, right?
