Married to the Protagonist

“…” She supported her chin with one hand, and her thoughts were everywhere. What she was sure about was that the sooner she straightened Su Ran’s teeth, the sooner she could stay away from her in the future.

Her fingertips felt cool, hovering over the screen. She paused before typing.

Chen Jinyao: If you have time, you can come this afternoon.

Su Ran: Okay.

Chen Jinyao: Come at 2pm.

Su Ran: Alright.

Su Ran: About the fee?

Chen Jinyao: You can pay me by WeChat.

Yet, Su Ran came in advance this afternoon.

This was because she had a practical class where she had to stimulate a sandtable around 4pm.

Attendance was taken for the class, so she couldn’t even escape if she wanted to.

Yet when she pushed the door to the clinic and entered at 12:45pm, it was coincidentally lunch break. Su Ran felt a bit embarrassed as she glanced at the receptionist, Xiao Liu. But recalling how her roommate said that private clinics were accommodating, she bit her lips and summoned her courage to put forward her request.

Xiao Liu said, “You can sit first. I’ll go ask Doctor Chen.”

“Okay.” Chen Jinyao had just napped for a while. She sighed helplessly.

………

Inside the room.

Chen Jinyao stood by the dentistry seat and wore a light blue disposable medical mask. She bent down slightly and looked at Su Ran naturally. She wore a serious expression, beads of sweat covering her forehead. The strong light shone on the top half of her body. But the majority of the light was on Su Ran lying on the dentistry chair.

“Calm down. It’s almost over.” She comforted Su Ran in a soft voice.

Half an hour later.

Chen Jinyao led Su Ran into her office. “Now is the time for the braces to be set and put into place. The braces will slowly straighten your teeth. It may hurt during the process. Also, remember to come back if the braces become loose.”

“When your teeth are almost straightened, we’ll give you retainers. I talked to you about the other things you need to pay attention to in the room.”

Su Ran nodded.

Chen Jinyao exclaimed, “Wait a second. Let me give you a receipt.”

It was 3pm right now. Since she made it through the exhausted stage, Chen Jinyao felt extremely spirited in contrast to her tiredness from before. She tilted her neck and massaged it before stretching her body. Then, she sat on her chair and casually swept her gaze over to see the phone she neglected on the table. She grabbed it and unlocked the phone, narrowing her eyes. She noticed that she received many messages from her WeChat.

“Please wait a second.”

Su Ran exclaimed, “Mn, okay.”

The messages were almost all from Yan Cheng. His messages were simple and blunt.

Chen Jinyao slid up and clicked on the first message.

It revealed that the time sent was 1:14pm.

Yan Cheng transferred money to her account thirteen times. Each time, he transferred $520. Then, he gave her fourteen envelopes. Chen Jinyao clicked on one of them. There didn’t seem to be a limit for the red envelopes either. Therefore, each one of them was $520 too.

Chen Jinyao was shocked. At the same time, she realized what Yan Cheng was referring to today. She smiled.

Then, she placed her phone to the side and then delivered a receipt to Su Ran.

“Doctor Chen, then I’ll be going now?”

“Okay.” She nodded absent-mindedly.

Chen Jinyao clicked on each one, confirming the transaction.

Then, she happily replied with a chain of “hahahah.”

Chen Jinyao: Who taught you?

Chen Jinyao: Tomorrow is May 21. You can keep this up.

At the same time, Su Ran walked out of the clinic and bumped into the Er Teahouse’s boss who was just walking towards the clinic. They had encountered each other a few times.

Just as they were about to walk past each other, Su Ran couldn’t help but look up and glance at him. Then, the corner of her lips twitched. She looked down and quickened her pace, leaving the scene.

To speak the truth, she almost couldn’t recognize him at first glance.

This was because…

At this time, Yan Cheng was wearing sunglasses and acted cool. He even carried a huge bouquet of roses in his arms, wearing a smile. He acted like a peacock spreading its tail when meeting their mate.
