Chapter 56p1: Online Dating a Bad Beta
The next morning, Glorie brought clothes to the hospital and saw her boss in the hospital room.
She was sitting on a chair, her clothes not yet changed, the fatigue in her eyes not yet faded, her palm on her thigh, constantly rubbing.
Hearing the sound, she turned her left side. “Bring them over.”
Glorie walked forward with the garment bag and placed it on the table beside her. “These are the clothes you asked me to bring. This is the breakfast you asked me to bring. Please enjoy.”
Xi Congshuang had barely slept all night, having paid a lot for the four points of collapse value. She answered in a low voice.
Glorie stood quietly on the side and accidentally saw the dark circles under her boss’s eyes. She thought to herself that her boss was so concerned about the alpha in the hospital room that she had even gotten dark circles from exhaustion.
Although she didn’t understand why her boss was rubbing her leg, maybe she had been on watch all night and had accidentally tired her leg.
Glorie refused to think about what kind of watch would require the use of a leg. She stood on the side, smiling as she watched Xi Congshuang. “I’ve already notified everyone last night that you will be attending the weekly meeting today. The meeting is expected to start in two hours.”
Her gaze paused on Xi Congshuang’s face for a moment. “You have some dark circles on your face. Would you like me to cover them with makeup?”
Dark circles?
Xi Congshuang, who had a regular schedule, rarely heard this word. Thinking that she had barely slept all night, it was normal to have them.
Xi Congshuang looked in the mirror. The dark circles were not very obvious, but you could still see them if you looked closely. She refused Glorie’s suggestion. “No need. This is fine.”
Glorie: “???”
Fine? Where is it fine?
It’s a rare occasion for the boss to come back to the company for a weekly meeting. Shouldn’t she show her best mental state?
After all, the reputation of the boss being a profligate and incompetent is rampant in the company. She had thought that the other party was going back today to save her image.
Although the boss’s various operations were indeed those of an incompetent profligate… but she was Xi Congshuang’s subordinate and would only be loyal to her boss.
If the boss is here, the high salary is here.
Instead of engaging in those intrigues, it’s better to stick to the profligate boss who has a lot of money and few things to do.
Just a lackey, so easy!
Xi Congshuang did not say any more, finished her breakfast, and stood up to change her clothes.
A few minutes later, the person who had changed her clothes walked out of the bathroom, her head bowed as she tidied the dark green gemstone cufflink on her sleeve.
Glorie’s eyes lit up, feeling that things were mostly stable.
She was going to the company today. The clothes Glorie had brought for her were more business-like, trying to support her boss’s image with her clothes. She had not expected that she had accidentally hit the mark and had really brought out the elite temperament in her boss’s bones.
Xi Congshuang stood in front of the mirror, deeply feeling that she had miscalculated.
The figure in the mirror was tall and graceful, wearing a dark black suit jacket, with a dark green gemstone cufflink as an embellishment, adding a touch of brightness. Her gaze in the mirror was indifferent.
She didn’t look like a profligate, but rather like her former self when she was at work.
The fatigue on her face seemed to be from working overtime all night, and it was hard for people to associate it with a profligate who had had a night of indulgence and had hastily crawled out of bed.
She raised her hand to look at her smart device. Xi Congshuang gave up the idea of changing her clothes. It was already late, and it was too late to change her clothes at the last minute.
Her own reputation should be able to make up for this flaw.
She turned her head and asked, “Glorie, do you have any plain glasses?”
If she had dark circles and wore glasses, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, it would have a hint of trying to cover up.
She had no intention of breaking her original persona for the time being. Xi Congshuang kept her persona for the heroine and for others very separate.

“…Professor Wei said that this is probably cyclical. The first two patients she had taken over had also experienced similar situations. There would also be some rejection after taking the medicine.”
Tan Yicheng, who had just come back from her examination, was listening to the assistant beside her. She was explaining the case to Tan Yicheng on behalf of the teacher and also comforting her. “It’s okay. The teacher said that your situation is actually quite good, not very…”
“Click.” Before Tan Yicheng could reach out to open the door, the hospital room door opened.
She looked up and was stunned.
The person standing behind the door was Xi Congshuang. She had changed into a suit, and a pair of rimless glasses rested on her elegant nose. Her cold gaze came from behind the lenses, full of an ascetic elite vibe.
“…”
She had never thought that Xi Congshuang had this side to her. It was really… exceptionally different.
The person who opened the door was Glorie. She smiled and greeted Tan Yicheng, “Good morning, Miss Tan.”
Tan Yicheng came to her senses and nodded. “Good morning.”
You don’t hit a smiling face. Glorie always had a smile on her face, looking sincere and polite, which made it hard for people to have a bad impression of her.
Xi Congshuang went out and said to Tan Yicheng as she passed by, “I’m going to the company today. I’m expected to come over in the afternoon.”
Tan Yicheng didn’t understand why she had to tell her this. She said, “Oh,” and only after the person had walked far away did she react and say strangely, “Why did she tell me? Does it have anything to do with me?”
It wouldn’t matter if Xi Congshuang didn’t come. She would feel more at peace.
It’s best if she doesn’t come. I don’t want to hear any revenge stories. My mind was full of what Xi Congshuang had said last night.
A nurse was walking towards them from a distance. She took in the expressions of the two and pursed her lips after hearing Tan Yicheng’s words.
She remembered the stupid things she had said last night again. It was really unbearable to look back on. What was the difference between this and driving a wedge between people’s relationship?
But she had not expected Miss Tan to be a tsundere alpha. Her slightly awkward temper was also very cute in a relationship.
The assistant soon left to go to the office to sort out the treatment plan for the teacher.
The beta nurse stayed in the hospital room, recorded all her data in detail, and adjusted the purifier data. Only then was a part of her work completed.
Tan Yicheng had nothing to do and sat on the bed looking at her smart device. She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to continue talking to “Xi Xiaoxue” last night and scrolled up and down to find the chat box.
“Join forces with my hardworking uncle to drive me out of the company… on the streets, either dead or crazy…”
Xi Congshuang’s voice flashed through her mind unexpectedly. She secretly clicked her tongue at Xi Congshuang for saying such nonsensical things to her and threw the matter to the back of her mind, successfully finding the chat box.
She tapped her finger and clicked in. A hint of surprise flashed in Tan Yicheng’s eyes.
It turned out that there was a follow-up. Xi Congshuang had sent her a picture of the galaxy. She clicked on it to enlarge it. After some calculation, this angle should have been taken by her sitting on the sofa, facing the porthole.
It was very normal for a profligate who was indulging in pleasure to not return home at night and to be out playing. Tan Yicheng was not surprised.
Her slender fingers expanded, enlarging the picture again, and she identified a few familiar stars.
The furnishings inside the ship could be searched on the major rental companies’ websites based on the screenshots to determine the brand.
Based on the height and the distance of a few numbered stars, the spaceship she was on should have flown to…
No.
Tan Yicheng timely stopped her brain from calculating. She had almost subconsciously acted and calculated Xi Congshuang’s location, framing her activity range.
Looking again, the time was not right.
The time she had sent the photo was only an hour apart from the time Xi Congshuang had appeared in the hospital. Such a tight schedule, it was as if she had rushed over directly from the spaceship.
But looking at last night’s Xi Congshuang, she was not dusty at all and was even in the mood to wring a towel for herself.
Why?
It can’t be that she really split into a second personality and had a huge change in her thinking, right?
Tan Yicheng, who was in the middle of a brainstorm, always felt that something was flashing in her peripheral vision. She looked to the side and saw that it was the nurse who was checking on her.
The other party had obviously also noticed her gaze and looked over.
Tan Yicheng’s biggest advantage was that she was diligent and willing to ask questions. Her social circle was simple, and her past experiences were not very referential. And regarding the problem of a broken brain, it was best to ask a medical professional.
Tan Yicheng: “Miss Nurse, I have a question for you.”
The nurse thought she was not feeling well and said seriously, “Go on.”
Tan Yicheng thought for a moment. “If a person’s attitude towards you is different from before, and they have many excuses to blur their true purpose, is it because they have another purpose?”
“…” You’re telling a medical professional this?
Who isn’t a different person before and after a relationship? As the saying goes, love makes people crazy, love makes people unrecognizable!
Could it be that her words yesterday had an effect, making her have bad thoughts and start to doubt if this relationship could continue?
Although the mainstream encouraged AO relationships, the excellent genes of both parties could produce more excellent offspring.
But what kind of society was it now? As long as you didn’t betray the federation and marry a space pirate, star citizens could marry whoever they wanted. It was just a little niche, not a betrayal of the federation.
The nurse’s face turned red. She was embarrassed but encouraged, “A… AB relationships are also very good! I wish you happiness!”
Tan Yicheng’s expression was blank. “…Ah?”
What is she talking about?
