399, too embarrassed to see people

After washing the fruit, the two returned to the ward, instantly quietening the room that had been filled with chatter.

After all, some topics simply couldn't be broached with a woman present.

Seeing the large plate of strawberries in Shi Huan's hand, Nangong Ci reached to grab some but was immediately stopped by Chu Xiuhuang, "That's my fruit!"

Nangong Ci could only retract his hand muttering an internal, "..."

Stingy second brother, boohoo.

Shi Huan set the fruit plate in front of Chu Xiuhuang, glanced around the room, and then offered, "I'll go wash some more fruit, okay?"

"Great, great, Secretary Shi, you're the best." Nangong Ci was pleased - he was going to get some fruit after all.

To his surprise, Chu Xiuhuang immediately protested, "She's MY secretary!"

Once again, Nangong Ci couldn't help but mumble internally, "..."

Man, this was a stark display of possessiveness from Chu Xiuhuang!
