Physician's Odyssey Chapter 367 - Takes colors of those around you

Seated in the front pa.s.senger seat, Mo Sun'er kept her silence. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and even Su Tao felt that way. Was what he did earlier considered breaking apart two lovebirds?

"Sun'er, calm down a little and listen to my explanation." Su Tao tried to alleviate the conflict between them.

"I don't need your explanation, and please address me by my full name in the future. Our relations.h.i.+p can only be considered as an employer and employee. Please do not interfere with my personal life in the future. Although my Senior Sister trusts you, I don't have the slightest favorable opinion about you. I have my own freedom, and I can leave the Three Flavour Hall at any time!" Mo Sun'er blurted out as she vented the emotions in her heart.

Letting out a sigh, Su Tao patiently replied, "Although you feel that the relations.h.i.+p between us is that of an employer and employee, I don't feel it that way. I've considered you a family member of mine!"

Hearing his words, Mo Sun'er's brows loosened up. However, she still spoke against her heart, "As if I'll believe your words!"

After a brief stun, Su Tao smiled since that was Mo Sun'er's character. Letting out a weak sigh, he replied, "Mo Sun'er, I don't blame you for not believing me and choosing to believe in w.a.n.g Guofeng. But I know that you've already considered the Three Flavour Hall as your home, so I'm also a family member of yours. If anything happens to you, not only will I be worried, but Xiao Jingjing, Big Sister Lihua, w.a.n.g Peng, Zhao Jian, and the crowd will also be worried about you."

Finally, Mo Sun'er's tone softened, "They're my family, except for you!"

An awkward smile crept on Su Tao's lips as he briefly pondered before letting out a sigh, "Looks like we need to talk to let you know how inexperienced and innocent you are when facing men!"

Letting out a snort, Mo Sun'er turned and looked at the nightscape beyond the window.

"w.a.n.g Guofeng must have told you something along the line of… Sun'er, your Senior Sister and I have ended our relations.h.i.+p. But I don't feel regretful at all since I've suddenly realised that you're my true love. Because of the previous relations.h.i.+p coming to an end, I can now openly pursue you. I hope that you can promise me to try and accept my affection for you!" Su Tao spoke calmly as every single word jabbed into Mo Sun'er's heart.

Turning her head over, Mo Sun'er was stunned as she looked at Su Tao for a long time before she said in confusion, "Did you follow me, or did you bug me?"

There was a ma.s.sive difference in what w.a.n.g Guofeng told her, but Mo Sun'er noticed that the meaning behind it was the same. How did Su Tao know what w.a.n.g Guofeng told her?

"…Am I that untrustable in your heart?" Su Tao rolled his eyes. He could feel his blood gurgling in his throat before he sourly explained, "I only stood on w.a.n.g Guofeng's standpoint and a.n.a.lysed how he would try to hoodwink and bluff you, silly girl!"

"Impossible! You're the one being silly!" Mo Sun'er bit on her lips as she threatened, "If you say anything about my Senior Brother again, I'll get out of the car now!"

"I have to continue even if you jump out of the vehicle!" Su Tao sighed. This la.s.s has been possessed and wouldn't take his words seriously. "w.a.n.g Guofeng must have told you that you're more suitable to be the Sect Master of the Aqua Cloud Stream and tells you to replace your Senior Sister before marrying him. This way, there will be a deeper relations.h.i.+p formed between the Medical Dao Sect and Aqua Cloud Stream."

Panic flickered in Mo Sun'er's heart. This time, Su Tao was accurate for the first half of his words. Although w.a.n.g Guofeng did not tell her the second half, pondering about it now, w.a.n.g Guofeng did give her such hints.

Holding onto her ears, Mo Sun'er shook her head to try and conceal the confusion in her heart and hollered, "Quiet!"

Su Tao was an excellent master when it came to psychological a.n.a.lysis. So when he saw how painful Mo Sun'er reacted, he knew that this la.s.s had taken half of his words in, and it would be futile for him to continue speaking.

The vehicle did not return to the Three Flavour Hall, but came to the scenery by the river. The nightscape was dark without any stars. It was desolate except for the occasional couple jogging along. On the contrary, it was more romantic without anyone and was suitable for a talk.

"Why did you bring me here?!" Mo Sun'er unhappily got out of the vehicle.

"Because I want you to sober up!" Su Tao took a deep breath as he continued, "I won't tell Ruochen what happened today, so I wish for it to be resolved by me."

"I won't thank you!" Mo Sun'er was worried that Su Tao might tell Liu Ruochen about how she spent time in the hotel with w.a.n.g Guofeng. In her heart, Liu Ruochen was someone important to her. Ever since she was young, Liu Ruochen would always appear whenever she encountered any problem to s.h.i.+eld her from the storm.

Seeing that the la.s.s was still trying to act strong, Su Tao continued, "Society is complicated, and I can't guarantee that w.a.n.g Guofeng has no feelings for you. But I'm certain that it's not love. He's only approaching you to hurt your Senior Sister since she betrayed him, so he set his target on you because he knows how important you are to Ruochen!"

Although Mo Sun'er's lips moved, she was powerless to refute those words.

"I'm trying to reach a deep collaboration with the Aqua Cloud Stream for talents to work in the Three Flavour Hall. w.a.n.g Guofeng appeared because he has also noticed the breakthrough and hopes to use you to disrupt the plan." Su Tao went deeper into his a.n.a.lysis and continued, "If it goes as I've speculated, he will try to ask you to obtain the details of the collaboration between the Three Flavour Hall and Aqua Cloud Stream."

"He won't! Senior Brother Guofeng is a magnanimous man. He's a gentleman, and he's certainly not a hypocrite like you." Mo Sun'er's eyes were muddled as she was having conflicts in her heart.

Su Tao knew that what he did was cruel since w.a.n.g Guofeng has been her idol ever since she was young, and they must've broken through the barrier earlier when she interacted with w.a.n.g Guofeng alone. However, his act of ruthlessly revealing the truth smashed her beautiful dream.

Ridding the weed and not removing the roots would just breed future threats!

Su Tao continued, "Mo Sun'er, I'm only giving you my suggestion as an outsider by talking so much to you. It's fine if you don't believe me now, but I believe that you will know what to do when w.a.n.g Guofeng really tries to entice you to harm the Three Flavour Hall and Aqua Cloud Stream."

"Thanks for your reminder, but I choose to believe in Senior Brother Guofeng!" Mo Sun'er glanced at Su Tao before she turned and entered the car.

Helplessly shaking his head, a wry smile hung on his lips. He had his reason for helping Mo Sun'er while hiding this from Liu Ruochen. After all, if he told Liu Ruochen about it, his relations.h.i.+p with Mo Sun'er would worsen. Aside from that, it might even cause a dispute between Liu Ruochen and Mo Sun'er. In the end, it would only push her towards w.a.n.g Guofeng and she would be a tool to be used against the Three Flavour Hall and Aqua Cloud Stream.

Mo Sun'er was still too innocent. Perhaps w.a.n.g Guofeng might have been a gentleman in the past, but he has already changed. You take colors from those around you, and under Bai Fan's influence, he's changed.

Sitting in the hotel, w.a.n.g Guofeng gulped down a few cups of red wine. His chest was raging with fiery anger, with his eyes turning cold. Su Tao has once again ruined his plan.

He threw the cup and it slammed on the ground, where it shattered.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. w.a.n.g Guofeng did not even bother looking through the peephole and opened the door. At this moment, he had turned into someone that indulged in debauchery and would feel uncomfortable if no one was by his side on a daily basis.

When he saw a bewitching face upon opening the door, w.a.n.g Guofeng was startled, "Rangure? What are you doing here?"

Jabbing on his head, Rangure smiled. "Why? Are you surprised?"

After w.a.n.g Guofeng took a step back in embarra.s.sment, Rangure looked at the mess on the floor before turning to w.a.n.g Guofeng. Shrugging her shoulders, she sighed, "You've disappointed me!"

"It's all due to Su Tao's appearance! Otherwise, I could surely make Mo Sun'er stay today!" w.a.n.g Guofeng explained.

"You're wrong. I'm not disappointed because the plan failed, I'm concerned about your mind right now!" Rangure came to w.a.n.g Guofeng and her finger drifted down from his cheek to his chest.

When w.a.n.g Guofeng tried to hold onto her hand, Rangure suddenly retracted it and she blew her finger. "I don't like the current w.a.n.g Guofeng who seems weak. In my impression, w.a.n.g Guofeng should be a heroic and fearless man. But you've now become timid and lost your confidence!"

As w.a.n.g Guofeng felt his throat turning dry, he said, "I will stand back up!"

Letting out a sigh, Rangure replied, "You can only stand up after defeating Su Tao! If you can't get through this mental barrier, you will never become a leader in TCM!"

Gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth, w.a.n.g Guofeng promised, "I will definitely defeat him!"

"That's right! Jealousy and hatred, they are the motivation for you to improve." Rangure slowly caressed w.a.n.g Guofeng's cheeks, which made the latter feel numb.

When the doorbell rang, Rangure smiled. "The person that you have an appointment with has arrived, so I will not bother you anymore."

"Can you stay behind? I will get that person outside to leave." w.a.n.g Guofeng immediately asked. Rangure was too charming. Other girls paled when compared to her.

"Remember, we can never have that sort of thing between us for the time being. We're partners, not a couple!" Rangure smiled. "Furthermore, I only like powerful and charming men, and you're still lacking to touch me!"

When she finished, Rangure left, leaving w.a.n.g Guofeng's eyes muddled.
