After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Professor Zhang said, "I can't guarantee this for you, because your father's condition has indeed reached the middle stage, which is uncontrollable. Even if he undergoes surgery, there is no possibility of a 100% cure. So no matter what the situation is, there are risks."

Sheng Yao listened to the two people talking quietly.

She looked at Shen Boyan from time to time and found that his expression became worse and worse as Professor Zhang said.

She secretly reached out and patted Shen Boyan's arm.

Shen Boyan raised his eyes and his gaze met Sheng Yao's.

He saw worry and comfort in Sheng Yao's eyes.

Shen Boyan pursed his lips and said to Professor Zhang, "Thank you very much, Professor Zhang, for being willing to perform surgery on my father. No matter what the risks are, we will bear them. As for the surgery, I'll leave it to you."

Professor Zhang waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. Send me your father's information tomorrow and I'll take a look. If everything is ok, I'll arrange surgery for your father as soon as possible. You are Yaoyao's friend, and this child rarely cares so much about things. I will definitely help you with this favor."

Sheng Yao blushed, "Uncle..."

Professor Zhang laughed, "Okay, okay, uncle won't tease you anymore."

Shen Boyan picked up the wine glass and stood up to toast Professor Zhang, "Sorry to bother you, Professor Zhang. This glass of wine is for you."

After chatting for a while, it was getting late, so Professor Zhang prepared to go back.

Shen Boyan stood up and wanted to see Professor Zhang off, but was held back by Sheng Yao.

"You don't look well. I'll go see Uncle Zhang off. You wait here for me to come back."

Sheng Yao and Professor Zhang came out of the restaurant, and Sheng Yao said to Professor Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, thank you so much for this time!"

Professor Zhang smiled and said, "Girl, why are you being so polite to your Uncle Zhang? Your business is the Sheng family's business. How can I not care about the Sheng family's business?"

Sheng Yao bit her lip and whispered to Professor Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, um...my parents don't know about this matter, and my grandfather doesn't know either. I haven't told them, so you must keep it a secret for me!"

Professor Zhang was puzzled, "Why? This is not something shameful."

Sheng Yao didn't know how to explain for a moment, "Well, my parents don't agree with me getting too close to Shen Boyan. If they knew that I contacted you privately, they would definitely be very angry!"

"So that's how it is." Professor Zhang nodded, and then warned Sheng Yao in the tone of an elder, "Love is a good thing, but you have to be careful. We can't do anything sneaky!"

Sheng Yao nodded repeatedly, "I know, I will definitely get my parents to agree that we can be together!"

Professor Zhang thought about what Shen Boyan had said at the dinner table just now. The kid looked good and not bad looking, but he always felt that he didn't seem to be that enthusiastic about Sheng Yao.

But Sheng Yao couldn't help herself, so she decided to let young people make their own decisions.

"I know everything you told me. Okay, it's getting late. You should go back as well."

The car that was picking up Professor Zhang just arrived. After he got in, Sheng Yao waved to Professor Zhang through the car window, "Goodbye, Uncle Zhang! I will definitely come to see you when I have time!"

Professor Zhang smiled and waved, "Go back quickly."

Sheng Yao watched Professor Zhang's car leave. When she returned to the box, she saw Shen Boyan lying on the table, motionless.

"Shen Boyan, are you okay?"

Sheng Yao walked over and patted Shen Boyan's shoulder gently.

Shen Boyan raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was blurred. "Is Professor Zhang gone?"

"Well, let's go." Sheng Yao saw that his face looked even worse than before, and she asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you drunk or feeling unwell?"

Shen Boyan stood up with his hands on the table, "It's okay, I..."

Before he could finish his words, he lost his balance and sat back on the chair.

Sheng Yao panicked instantly, "Shen Boyan, what happened to you? Don't scare me!"

Shen Boyan's voice was hoarse, "I'm fine, I just feel a little dizzy, maybe I drank too much."

He frowned and asked, "What drink did you order just now?"

Sheng Yao glanced at the wine on the table and said, "I just bought some wine. That wine was brought by Uncle Zhang himself. No matter what occasion he goes to, he is used to drinking his own wine when eating."

Sheng Yao doesn't like drinking, so all she drank was juice.

She also didn't know what the wine Professor Zhang brought tasted like. Was this wine so strong and had such a strong aftertaste?

Shen Boyan exhaled a few times, sat down for a while, and stood up again, "Let's go, let's go back."

"No, no, how can you go back like this? I'll take you to the hospital."

Sheng Yao wanted to help him up, but Shen Boyan said, "I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. There's no need to go to the hospital. You can go back and don't worry about me."

Sheng Yao was not at ease when he said, "You really don't need to go to the hospital? Your mouth is pale. You should go to the hospital for a check-up."

Sheng Yao insisted, but Shen Boyan really didn't want to go to the hospital and was too lazy to go through the trouble.

But Sheng Yao refused to give up unless she went to the hospital. He thought about it and decided to let Sheng Yao do something to distract her attention.

"Go get me a cup of hot water."

"Oh!" Sheng Yao reacted belatedly. She looked around the box and found that there was no hot water, so she simply went outside to ask the waiter for some.

She was walking in a hurry and just as she came out of the box, she bumped into a man head-on.

Sheng Yao was almost knocked down, but she immediately said to the other party, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

The man who bumped into Sheng Yao was wearing a baseball cap and looked a little panicked. He said to Sheng Yao very impatiently, "Watch your eyes when you walk!"

Then he pushed Sheng Yao aside and left in a hurry.

Sheng Yao looked at the man's back angrily, thinking, why is this man so rude?
Sheng Yao asked the waiter for a glass of honey water. Although she didn't know whether Shen Boyan was drunk or not, honey water was always useful.

But who would have known that when she returned with the honey water, the box was empty and Shen Boyan had disappeared.

She originally thought that Shen Boyan had gone to the bathroom, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't come back.

She took out her cell phone and wanted to call Shen Boyan, but when she dialed the number, she was told that the other party's phone was turned off.

Sheng Yao suddenly felt lost.

Could it be that Shen Boyan didn't want to be alone with her, so he deliberately sent her away and ran away secretly? (End of this chapter)
