Married to his secret crush

Chapter 452 - Is There Something Between Them?

Shi Xia loved the Han siblings like her own kids and they all grew up together like biological siblings.

Shi Luo glanced at the glass of red wine in her hand.

Before she left, Shi Xia said, ''Whatever happened has already happened. I won't hold it against you. All these years, you have been focused on your studies and career and I never forced you for anything. But you are not getting any younger anymore. I will set up a blind date with Aunt Wang's nephew. I will text you the date, time, and venue. Don't be late.''

''Yes.''

Shi Luo sighed thinking back to the pressure she felt at the time that made her agree to it.

But she did not want to hurt her mother's emotions.

On Jun Boyan's side, she indeed liked him and that's the reason why she got so impulsive and drove over to his university to confess to him. But now she was back to square one.

The reality slapped some senses into her.

She did not think things between them would go any further.

Anyways, he will move out of her place soon and she will be going on blind dates from now on.

Intentionally or unintentionally, she hurt her mother and Shi Luo felt the guilt weighing her heart. She did not want to be the shadow of her father.

Shi Luo gulped all the wine in the glass before she wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

The constant ringing of her phone brought her out of her reverie.

She jumped off the windowsill and walked towards the bed before picking up her phone.

Looking at the caller ID, she frowned. She had already taken a few days off from work but why were the hospital staff still calling her?

She cleared her throat before answering the call. ''Yes?"

''Dr. Shi, we have noticed another unusual missing data,'' the man spoke up.

This person, Robby, is the head of the IT department of Sunshine hospital. A few days ago, there were some missing data of the patients.

Because the first patient whose data was hacked and destroyed was Shen Lihua. And the director of the hospital was dead scared of Jun Zixuan. So, he pushed this matter into her hands with the excuse that she knew them.

But later after Shen Lihua, a child's information was destroyed and there was an elderly one too.

''Whose data is it this time?" Shi Luo asked.

''Last time, our staff managed to retain some of the information of that VVIP patient. It seems like the other side discovered this.''

Shi Luo frowned, ''What's the name of the patient?"

''It is Shu… no, it's Shen... Yes, Shen Lihua.''

Shi Luo's face darkened. ''Alright, look into it and keep me updated,'' It looks like she will have to alert Jun Zixuan about this matter if they did not find anything.

…

Inside a black sedan.

''Oh my god, Lihua, you have gotten prettier again,'' Shi Xia chirped as she glanced at Shen Lihua.

Shen Lihua smiled while sipping her juice, ''You are shining as well.''

Once they met, both the friends have been staying in touch ever since.

''Yesterday, you told me that you are going to visit Luoluo, did you go?"

At the mention of her daughter, Shi Xia leaned back on the seat, ''I did.''

''What happened?" Shen Lihua frowned, noticing her friend's weird expression.

Shi Xia inhaled a deep breath before she narrated everything to her.

''These kids…'' Shen Lihua sighed. When she got to know that Shi Luo and Jun Boyan were dating, she was already preparing names for future grandkids.

Here Yu Mei and Jun Zixuan were going to be parents and on the other hand, she thought Jun Boyan and Shi Luo will get married soon in the future as well.

''I will arrange a blind date for Luoluo,'' Shi Xia said.

''But Xia'er, it's her life. You can suggest her but don't force her into it. It's good that Zixuan and Mei are so happy together or else I would have lived my life in guilt for forcing him into this marriage.''

''I don't think I need to force her. Luoluo knows that I want the best for her,'' Shi Xia said.

''But what if there is something between Boyan and Luoluo? Your daughter is not the kind of person who will stay under the same roof with a man for so long. It's not like Luoluo didn't have other places in Beijing. And my son… it's not like he didn't have money to afford another place. He doesn't like sharing his space with anyone.''

''You are only complicating things, Lihua,'' Shi Xia shook her head, ''If there was something between them, then even if they were only pretending before, they should be dating by now.''

''Haish…'' Shen Lihua sighed. Her friend was somewhat right about this.

How could two hot-blooded young people stay under one roof in such a platonic way?

Such a pity!

''Boyan is a nice man but since they are not into each other, let us not force things. Maybe, we are not destined to be in-laws,'' Shi Xia paused for a moment before looking out of the window, ''I don't want my daughter to end up with the wrong man like I did. So, I will take this matter into my hands.''

Shen Lihua opened her mouth to say something but she eventually nodded. Knowing her friend, since she had already decided on this, she won't back out no matter what happened.

And even she was disappointed by the way Jun Boyan and Shi Luo dealt with this.

...

Inside a luxurious 5-star restaurant:

"Come on now, keep that aside, will you?"

If Shi Luo was here, then she would have recognized this girl as the one who got inside Jun Boyan's car earlier.

There was another girl and three guys around the round table.

One of the guys spoke up, ''Yes, it was supposed to be a celebration. Can you stop fooling around with that thing?"

Jun Boyan frowned, ''Stop being noisy.''

Amidst their protests, there was another guy who was wearing thick-rimmed glasses. He had slightly curly hair. His keen eyes kept observing the scene for another few moments before he spoke up, ''It looks like he has something important to deal with. Can you all stop bothering him already?"

Jun Boyan tilted his head from his laptop to look at him.
