ENCROACHMENT 103

Chapter 103: Eat 

“Do you have something else to do later?” she asked him softly.

“Yeah, I have another surgery later,” he wearily closed his eyes, supporting his forehead with one hand and massaging his temple with his thumb.

Shen Shuman glanced at the lunchbox he held in his arms, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. “So you won’t have time to eat?”

Wei Shi heard the melancholy in her words and lifted his gaze to look at her.

She coincidentally met his gaze and realized that her previous words sounded too reluctant, as if she was overly attached to him. She quickly added, “I never expected being a doctor to be so tough, not even having time for a lunch break.”

“Heh,” he suddenly chuckled lightly, taking advantage of the lack of people around. He leaned in unexpectedly and left a fleeting kiss on her cheek.

It was the familiar softness and warmth.

It wouldn’t be too late to eat then.

Upon hearing his words, Shen Shuman couldn’t help but feel empty both physically and mentally.

She had come to see him and have a meal together.

These past few days, he had hardly rested, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes from being so busy.

She noticed it and couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

He keenly sensed her disappointment and added, “Bring your meal with you. We can eat together.”

With his suggestive words, he instantly dispelled her lingering regret and ignited the fire within her, causing her face to visibly blush at a rapid pace.

“Rascal!” she softly “scolded” him, feeling a bit annoyed. She changed her shoes, opened the car door, and got out.

Wei Shi chuckled speechlessly and followed suit, getting out of the car as well.

He handed her the lunchbox and the handbag, pointed out where his office was, and even entrusted her with the office key and his phone.

Shen Shuman carried the handbag and the lunchbox, about to walk towards the building in the direction of 11 o’clock, when he suddenly grabbed her arm and said slowly, “Wait for me.”

“Okay~” since she didn’t have anything else to do, she could wait for him.

Shen Shuman had a good memory, so finding Wei Shi’s separate office wasn’t difficult.

However, when she arrived at the door of his office and saw a man sitting behind the desk, working on the computer, she couldn’t help but freeze, falling into self-doubt.

Carefully, she looked at the nameplate above the door repeatedly, staring at the words “Wei Shi” very seriously for a while before finally confirming that she hadn’t gone to the wrong place.

The man who was writing suddenly looked up and, upon seeing her, his bright eyes widened like two bronze bells. His thick lips parted and uttered two words: “Is it you, sister-in-law?”

This startled Shen Shuman, and her heart began to beat rapidly. At that moment, she realized that he was the “butcher” she had spoken to on the phone last time.

He stood up abruptly, towering over her like a majestic mountain.

She looked him up and down and had to admit that he had a very robust and strong figure. Unlike Wei Shi, who appeared slim and elegant in his white coat, she doubted if his thick arms would burst the sleeves.

“Are you Wei Shi’s colleague?” Shen Shuman asked, curving her lips into a slight forced smile.

“Hello, I’m Yu Dai,” Yu Dai smiled broadly as he observed her, giving her a quick once-over.

“I’m Shen Shuman,” she introduced herself.

After saying that, as she wasn’t skilled at dealing with men, besides maintaining an awkward and polite smile on her face, she didn’t know what else to say.

Fortunately, Yu Dai didn’t mind the uncomfortable atmosphere and invited her to come in and sit down, explaining, “Director Wei went to perform surgery, so I borrowed his computer.”

Seeing that she was carrying something in her hand, he made a gossipy comment, “Are you bringing a lunchbox for Director Wei?”

Shen Shuman felt very uncomfortable and mechanically replied, “Yes… but unfortunately, he’s busy.”

Although she said that, she didn’t feel very secure about entering the office.

It wasn’t appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room, and furthermore, he was much stronger than her, which made her feel uneasy and fearful.
