Chapter 168 Bitterness
Shen Chenyuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he subconsciously turned to look at Shi Yao, almost unable to hide the gloomy expression on his face.

Fortunately, Shi Yao was looking at the street scene outside and didn't notice him.

Shen Chenyuan quickly controlled his expression and asked in a deep voice, "What are the test results? Has her condition improved?"

Dr. Yang sighed softly and told the truth, "Mr. Shen, instead of getting better, Miss Shi's condition has become more serious."

"Perhaps her happiness is superficial. She is pretending everything. Maybe she doesn't want you to worry."

Dr. Yang felt that Shen Chenyuan's breathing was getting faster and faster, so he had to pause. After Shen Chenyuan's mood improved a little, he continued.

"Mr. Shen, you can secretly observe and see if Miss Shi has difficulty falling asleep, or can't sleep all night? She had this kind of situation before, but it's more obvious now."

Shen Chenyuan nodded along with Dr. Yang's words, "She often couldn't sleep well before, and she would vomit violently the next day because of it. But now that she has stopped vomiting, has her sleep quality still not improved?"

"Based on Miss Shi's examination results this time, it looks like this." Dr. Yang answered truthfully.

Shen Chenyuan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He felt like a bird flying around unable to find its direction and didn't know what to do.

"Then now..." He paused, not even having the courage to finish these words!

"According to the advice of the attending doctor, Miss Shi should be allowed to spend more time with her family. The care and love of her family may make her condition better."

Dr. Yang's words made Shen Chenyuan fall into silence, and his hand holding the phone tightened involuntarily.

Two minutes seemed like a century. Shen Chenyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "I know."

"By the way, one more thing is that you can't let Miss Shi know her true situation. This will put another burden on her heart and aggravate her condition."

"Okay, I understand, let's do this for now," Shen Chenyuan hung up the phone.

He has noticed that Shi Yao has looked towards him several times. If he continues, Shi Yao will definitely find clues.

Shen Chenyuan reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Shi Yao. After getting the water, he returned to his seat.

"Did something happen to the company? Why did the phone call take so long? And you don't look good." Shi Yao took the kettle and poured a glass of water for Shen Chenyuan.

It seemed like a normal concern, but Shen Chenyuan heard some temptations in it.

He reached out to help Shi Yao brush away the broken hair from her ears, and said with a smile, "There was something wrong, but it was resolved on the phone. Otherwise, why would the phone call take so long?"

Shi Yao nodded and stopped talking.

From an angle that Shi Yao couldn't see, a hint of distress flashed across Shen Chenyuan's eyes.

But then Yao looked over again, and he immediately smiled, his eyes full of doting and love.

The dishes were served quickly, and the delicious food whetted Shi Yao's appetite. She ate a lot, and the corners of her mouth were filled with oil, and she looked very happy.

Shen Chenyuan was worried and didn't move his chopsticks much. He helped Shi Yao wipe the oily corners of her mouth and looked at her with a smile on his face. "Why don't you eat? Why are you looking at me like that?" Shi Yao just stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, and when she looked up, she saw Shen Chenyuan staring at her, which made her feel embarrassed.

Shen Chenyuan withdrew his gaze and smile, slightly curled his lips, "You are so beautiful."

Shi Yao was slightly startled. The sudden compliment made her almost choke and cough non-stop.

Shen Chenyuan had to pat her back to relieve her, "Slow down, slow down."

Shi Yao's face turned red when she coughed, and she quickly drank some water before returning to normal.

"When did Mr. Shen's mouth become so sweet?" She joked with a smile, completely unaware of the sadness flashing in Shen Chenyuan's eyes.

"It's only so sweet when I face you." Shen Chenyuan suddenly became serious and said seriously.

Shi Yao's cheeks turned red instantly, she lowered her head and continued eating without saying anything.

This meal seemed to last a century, and Shen Chenyuan said some nice words from time to time, which made her feel embarrassed.

After eating, Shen Chenyuan offered to accompany her for a walk.

Shi Yao was a little flattered, "Don't you have to go to work today?"

Shen Chenyuan shook his head, "Cattle also have time to rest when plowing the fields. I won't go to work today and will be with you all day."

Shi Yao was amused and said smoothly, "It would be great if my eldest brother was like you, knowing how to rest. He only knows how to work."

When she mentioned her family, Shi Yao smiled and narrowed her eyes into a straight line.

Shen Chenyuan could see that she was not pretending, that happiness came from the bottom of her heart.

A hint of bitterness passed through the corner of Shen Chenyuan's mouth, "Mr. Fu is indeed a workaholic."

His bitterness couldn't be noticed by Shi Yao, so he had to show an expression that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Shi Yao's chatterbox opened up and she continued to tell Shen Chenyuan a lot about her three brothers.

She danced and laughed happily as she told the story.

Shen Chenyuan was the only poor person. The happier Shi Yao smiled, the bitterer his heart became.

"When it comes to family, you seem to have endless things to say." Shen Chenyuan couldn't help but interject.

Shi Yao didn't notice anything unusual, her red lips curled up slightly, "Yes, after all, they are my relatives whose blood is thicker than water."
