Chapter 43 - News scandal

Zhu Yunqing abruptly turned towards the voice and came face to face with Qian Ming.

Qian Ming eyes were red from the lack of sleep and working overtime in the hospital. His tired and indifferent look made him look intimidating to just about anyone but Zhu Yunqing. She couldn't care less about his intimidating aura.

"Ah! If it isn't the yellow-haired doctor! Fancy meeting you here," Zhu Yunqing uttered, feeling a tinge of regret that she might not be getting the piece of jewellery. She thought it would be a good gift for Wei Chujiu as it matched with her eyes.

As an Empress, she always gave lots of gifts to her friends and close acquaintances and to some extent she regarded Wei Chujiu as a friend. From her gained memories of the past life from the original Zhu Yunqing, she knew Wei Chujiu would never do her any harm. It was such a shame that the original Zhu Yunqing never realized that fact until the end.

Immediately, Qian Ming recognized her. She was quite a troublesome patient. So, there was definitely no way he would mistake her identity. Weirdly enough, she was also the only one who has ever called him like that because of his blond hair.

Usually, Qian Ming never mixes his private life with his work as a doctor, so most people don't even know him as a renowned doctor if he were to walk out on the streets. Just the same way his colleagues at the hospital don't know anything about his background. He would have chosen to ignore her if she wasn't standing so close to him. He didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to himself.

So, since the circumstances did not allow him to ignore her. He sighed before responding with a sarcastic hint to his tone, "My day must have to be blessed, seeing that I had to meet you here today."

Zhu Yunqing had tormented his life so much in the hospital to the extent that he couldn't wait for the day she would be discharged. On the day that she was finally discharged, one could say that he was the happiest person at the hospital.

Hearing him speak, Zhu Yunqing couldn't help but laugh. She could easily detect the sarcasm in his tone.

"Well said! I can always give you the honour every day, but then that would be torture to my eyes," Zhu Yunqing retorted with an even more sarcastic tone.

"Then I guess saying my thanks would be the right thing to do now!" Qian Ming said.

Before Zhu Yunqing could respond, the store worker who had diligently packed the jewellery set alerted them, "Sir, your order is ready."

"Thank you," Qian Ming whipped out a gold card to pay for his purchase.

"Oh my! Who do we have here? If it isn't the eldest Miss Zhu!" a shrill voice called out suddenly. The person spoke with a hint of mock astonishment.

Zhu Yunqing turned to look at who spoke out while Qian Ming didn't bother to know who. He only felt he should have just ignored Zhu Yunqing earlier because he did not want to be caught in any form of girly squabbles. From the tone the person spoke with, it was obvious that she wasn't a fan of Zhu Yunqing.

"Mengmeng, can you believe it? She still dared to play around even after what happened. The whole internet is going crazy over the hot new, yet, you are here still playing a couple," the lady to the right said. She said the last statement to Zhu Yunqing with disdain in her tone.

The hot news she spoke about was the viral nude pictures of Young Master of Tang Group, Tang Chonglin, and Yu An Qiao. Some keyboard warriors had also gotten several pictures of him entering various hotels with different girls, with a few small-time celebrities included. So the blazing news of the playboy's secret life with various girls was bustling on the net. Various scandalous pictures were swirling here and there.

In light of the news becoming public, it had drastically affected most of the celebrities he had an affair with. Even dropped the stock share price of Tang Group by a few percentages.

Luckily for Zhu Yunqing, she never had any personal picture with Tang Chonglin. Also, whenever they went out, Zhu Yanyu was always in their midst. That was the only reason why she was not a hot topic in the news as well. It was just a pity that she never knew of his various affairs because Tang Chonglin was very good at hiding them.

"Shouldn't you be holed up somewhere crying your eyes out?!" the other lady asked in disdain.
