Everyone Wants to Pamper the Bigshot Researcher After Her Rebirth!

Chapter 168: Retreat

Upon hearing Qi Shuo’s words, everyone began to feel relieved. As long as there was still a chance for these two to connect, their matchmaking efforts would not be in vain.

Xu Yuan even started to fantasize, “When those two finally get together, our contributions will be significant. Gu Chen will surely owe us some favors.”

Though the others didn’t voice it aloud, they secretly harbored similar thoughts.

Gu Chen’s typically icy demeanor prompted his brothers to yearn for opportunities to tease him. They reasoned that even if he became annoyed, at least it meant he was acting more like a living person.This content belongs to novelhulk.com, if the content is missing please go to novelhulk.com website to read the full content

If they could match him with Song Fan, they would no longer need to worry. Benefits would undoubtedly follow.

While those outside indulged in these daydreams, Song Fan and Gu Chen remained oblivious to their schemes. The notion had never crossed their minds.

Gu Chen observed Song Fan as she diligently handled her work, wondering what else she might be concealing trom him. Meanwhile, Song Fan contemplated how to handle Gu Chen’s apparent tests.

Both occupied the same room, deep in their own thoughts, enveloped in a silence that allowed even a pin drop to be heard.

After a lengthy pause, Gu Chen finally spoke, “I’m pleased that Miss Song has chosen to stay. I’m also curious about where you acquired your medical skills.”

Based on available information, Song Fan had always lived in Yongping Village, which had no medical institutions aside from the local health center. To reach a county hospital, one had to drive for roughly an hour. So, Song Fan’s exceptional medical skills were perplexing to Gu Chen.

She didn’t perceive the affection in Gu Chen’s words; her mind was occupied by the satisfaction of having the upper hand.

Gu Chen, however, could discern her current train of thought. At times, he found Song Fan’s obtuseness frustrating, yet it was also what drew him to her.

Gu Chen reached out to gently stroke Song Fan’s hair. She was surprised. Despite the shock, she didn’t evade his touch and asked, “Is there something in my hair?”

“I’m expressing my affection for you,” Gu Chen stated.

Song Fan immediately recalled Gu Chen’s proposal and scoffed, “Are you still trying to tease me with marriage?”

“What marriage!” Song Kai’s voice pierced the room like a sharp dagger.

He stood at the door with a plate of watermelon in his hand, Song Kai observed the scene in the room with astonishment, particularly the hand that had been resting on Song Fan’s head.

Song Kai seemed to care little for the watermelon. He rushed inside, intent on pushing Gu Chen away. However, Gu Chen released his grip before Song Kai could reach them, and Song Kai found himself lunging at empty air.

He looked at Song Fan with an aggrieved expression and questioned her, “Why did you let him touch your head?”

Song Fan struggled to explain this situation and decided to deflect the issue.

“What’s wrong with letting him touch my head? Don’t make a fuss.”

Song Kai pouted and insisted, “Don’t let him touch you in the future. You’re the eldest daughter of our Song Family..”
