So You’re Such A Doctor Song-Chapter 349 - Why Don't... I Call You Uncle
Chapter 349: Why Don’t… I Call You Uncle
Duoyao wanted to agitate him on purpose and she said, “Why don’t… I call you Uncle?”
“You’re calling me Uncle when I’m only seven years older than you?” Yan Molun pondered for a while and laughed softly. “I couldn’t tell that you had such intense preferences.”
“…” Duoyao was speechless. “Who’s the one with more intense preferences?”
“It’s okay, you can call me whatever you want. I’d like it either way.” Yan Molun pecked her lips again and again, never tiring of it.
Duoyao felt half of her heart going numb. She closed her eyes halfway and could see Yan Molun’s dense and dark eyebrows were filled with love and passion under the bright light. She found it somewhat incredible that a man like him could actually become like this when in a relationship. He was like a burning ball of fire that seemed to be able to set one in flames. How incredible.
…
In the end, it was already past nine when the two of them came out from the clubhouse. Yan Molun helped her bring her things downstairs and drove her back to her villa. Kang Anhe’s car was no longer there.
“What if he comes to look for again ?” Yan Molun asked when he walked her into the house.
Duoyao was stunned for a while before she finally understood who he was referring to.
“In any case, I’ve already rejected him very clearly.”
“He’s quite handsome.” Yan Molun leaned against the door. He was exuding a wild aura. He reached his hand out to touch her chin as he said with his deep voice: “In any case, you can only like me.”
“I get it. Go back quickly. ” Duoyao pushed him as she blushed. “I still have to wake up early to go to the company for a meeting tomorrow.”
“Mm.” Yan Molun took his time in leaving. He wanted very much to stay behind but he was afraid to scare her.
————————————————-
The next day, the company’s minivan came over to pick Duoyao up for the company meeting. Xiling told her excitedly, “Zhu Fenglei has been practically a rat in the streets lately. I’m afraid he won’t have the cheek to continue working in this industry. Sister Shuang’s used the past couple of days to plan your comeback and has also published an official statement about the process of being framed by Zhu Fenglei in your name. I’ve also recorded videos of you teaching in Tibet and now, your popularity is higher than before. The public has been saying that you’re a stream of purity in the industry. HAHA.”
Duoyao was naturally happy, but after feeling happy, she thought of something immediately. “Right, did anyone donate to the poor areas in Tibet?”
“Yeah, however, for problems that are money-related, we should take it slow,” Xiling said cautiously. “When the time comes, we can just put the money through a charity organization.”
Duoyao shook her head. “There are many charity organizations lately who’ve actually embezzled the money to their own pockets in the name of helping children and the poor. There are so many people in an organization. If everyone just takes a little, nothing would be left for those who really need the help. I plan to start my own charity organization and run it myself. I don’t mind the extra work as long as I can help those really in need.”
Xiling was stunned. “Duoyao, you’ve changed so much that I almost can’t recognize you.”
“Xiling, you were there with me. Didn’t you have any takeaways from being there?” Duoyao said solemnly. “Especially when we help others and they look at you with those thankful eyes, don’t you find that better than anything? Alright. You have an extensive network of contacts, so I’ll leave this to you. We’re now comrades who’ve been through thick and thin together. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to be on the team. Don’t look so depressed; I’ll pay you.”
Xiling was pulling a face. Should she cry or smile?
When they arrived at the company, Ge Shuang called her into her office first. Ge Shuang was the best manager in the company. She brought Duoyao up single-handedly to her status back then. She was a strict and decisive person. Duoyao revered her whenever they crossed paths.
“I heard you were back home the last couple of days?” Ge Shuang seemed to be in quite a good mood. She was even smiling.
“Yeah. I haven’t been back in a long time.” Duoyao sat down. She was wondering if Ge Shuang would eat her up if she found out she had dated in Tibet.
“To tell you the truth, your performance in Tibet really impressed me,” Ge Shuang said with her arms crossed. “I thought you would give up.”
Duoyao licked her lips. “After the Zhu Fenglei incident, I knew my reputation was in the gutter and the higher-ups were looking down on me, already preparing to give up on me. I heard that it was you who helped me fight for a chance…”
“It wasn’t exactly that they were giving up on you. They just felt it was very difficult for you to get back on your feet,” Ge Shuang said with a smile. “I always thought you were a very lucky person. I never thought that even God would help you this time. Truth be told, if someone didn’t expose Zhu Fenglei’s dirty secrets, I reckon you wouldn’t be able to make a comeback easily just based on doing charity work. My initial plan was to revamp your image again after a year. No, to put it more precisely, I didn’t even know if you could press on in Tibet. I also heard from Xiling that the living environment there was indeed very harsh. Your perseverance through it made me very impressed. You used to be very impulsive and rash. Sometimes, I was disappointed. I hoped this time that you would learn a lesson and correct this problem of yours.”
Duoyao nodded obediently.
“I heard from Xiling that you intend to focus on doing charity work this year.” Ge Shuang continued, “This is a good idea. The three months that you were in Tibet has shocked many. I heard you even plan to sponsor the few children to study in the nearby town. Make a trip over in September when school starts—there will be reporters there too. You’ve been a little too popular in recent years and that would inevitably incite jealousy within many in the industry. It’s good to settle down and do some charity work for a while, but you have to guarantee that you’ll still shoot a new drama this year. If you don’t air a new drama, your popularity will go down next year.”
“I’ll listen to you,” Duoyao said obediently.
“Right, there’s one more thing.” Ge Shuang looked at her and suddenly sighed. “What’s going on between you and Young Master Kang?”
Duoyao was stunned. She lowered her head and played with her fingers. “I’ve already made things clear with him. I told him I don’t like him.”
“Young Master Kang is CEO Kang’s son. The company didn’t give up on you this time also because he put in a lot of good words for you.” Ge Shuang looked solemn. “How could you be so straight-forward?”
Duoyao pouted. “But if I didn’t say that, he would think I’m interested.”
“Young Master Kang really likes you. Besides, he’s good looking and talented. Didn’t you find him alright in the past? He even visited you on set many times during your drama shoot.” Ge Shuang said seriously, “I think you should really consider him. After all, the Kang Family isn’t your usual household. If you can marry him, it’d be equivalent to marrying into a rich family and you’d be able to achieve many things easily. Young Master Kang even came to look for me yesterday so I could talk to you about it.”
Duoyao frowned frustratedly. “That’s all in the past. After I got to know him a little better, I realized he’s not my type.”
Ge Shuang was getting slightly anxious. “Duoyao, Young Master Kang is CEO Kang’s most beloved son. Think about it—if you offend Young Master Kang, CEO Kang won’t be happy and that might not be good for your future development in the company. The worst-case scenario is that the company would give all the good resources to other artistes. Do you know how many artistes are trying their all to curry Young Master Kang’s favor? Just look at that Liao Jingyun. No one knows how many underhand means she used to hook up with Young Master Kang.”
“Sister Shuang, I’m grateful for your concern, but how different would that be from the deals other female celebrities make?” Duoyao shook her head. “I can’t bring myself to be with a person just for my future. If I really can’t make it anymore one day, that’d be alright. Perhaps I’m just not fated to last so long in the entertainment industry.”
She wasn’t a fool. Yan Molun could help her deal with Zhu Fenglei in minutes while Kang Anhe had to depend on his family members for everything. If she was making decisions for her future, no matter how she made her choice, she would choose Yan Molun.
Ge Shuang couldn’t do anything to her. “You…”
“Sister Shuang, the meeting is about to start. Let’s make our way there,” Duoyao interrupted her.
Ge Shuang shook her head angrily. She had already said whatever she could. Seeing that Duoyao was still so obstinate, she could only pack her things up and move to the meeting room with Duoyao.
…
Tens of people in the company’s marketing and PR departments were all gathered together. As Duoyao’s manager, Ge Shuang would be chairing the meeting. The contents of the meeting would be mainly focused on the upcoming work plans for Duoyao in the latter half of the year as well as her goals.
The moment she walked out of the meeting room after the meeting ended, she saw Kang Anhe leaning against the side of the door with a bouquet of tulips. When he saw her coming out of the room, he stood straight up immediately. His handsome brows were knitted together as he looked at Duoyao. “Duoyao, come with me. Let’s have a talk.”
The person who was following closely behind her saw Kang Anhe and immediately smiled ambiguously as she pushed Duoyao. “Hurry along; don’t let Young Master Kang wait too long.”
Duoyao could only follow him to the side as it wasn’t appropriate for her to make Kang Anhe look bad.
Kang Anhe gave her the tulips in his hand. “Let’s have lunch together.”
“I can’t. I still have to do an interview later.” Duoyao didn’t accept the flowers. “Young Master Kang, I feel it would be better if you gave this bouquet of flowers to another woman. I believe I already made myself clear that day.”
“Duoyao, I waited at your door the entire afternoon yesterday.” Kang Anhe’s face sank a little. “Don’t be like this. You can just tell me what I’m not doing right.”
Duoyao felt her head hurting. How should she put it? Did he expect her to say that his way of courting was like putting up a show compared to Yan Molun? “You didn’t do anything wrong. I just realized that we aren’t suitable for each other. You’re not my type. I like tall, bold and wild men—the kind that could give me a sense of security.”
Kang Anhe was stunned. “But you said in a program before that you like dashing and handsome ones, not ones that are too wild.”
Duoyao was embarrassed. Did she say that before? “Maybe my tastes changed after going to Tibet. A good-looking, dashing guy isn’t useful.”
