“But the doctor said you’re not well. Wei, don’t be so stubborn. Your health is more important!” Su Su said as she gave Shi Wei a look. Su Su was embarrassed as she noticed Yu Qing’s face had darkened. Hence, she gently tugged at Shi Wei’s sleeves. “Wei, listen to me. Your health is more important.”
“But my reputation is the most important thing in my life. Who knows if this hospital is safe? What if someone finds out I’m here and sells the news to the paparazzi? I’ll be finished! Moreover, if Xicheng were to…”
Su Su quickly covered Shi Wei’s mouth before she could even finish speaking. She gave Shi Wei a wink and said, “Wei, this will only be between us and the doctor. Besides, you can just use my name during registration for admission.”
Su Su turned to face Yu Qing at that. “Doctor, is that allowed?”
Yu Qing looked at Shi Wei and Su Su coldly, having finally recalled who this woman was. Well, this is surprising.
However, since Yu Qing had to maintain professionalism as a doctor, she simply nodded. “Well, it’s allowed, but I must say you’re a very generous young lady!”
Yu Qing gave Su Su an intriguing look. Su Su and Shi Wei quickly realized what Yu Qing was implying. Su Su kept quiet, but Shi Wei could not control herself and lashed out. “You’re just a doctor. What’s with that look? So what if I caught some stigmatized disease? I’m going to file a complaint about your rude behavior to the hospital!”
Yu Qing found her threat amusing. “You can try!”
“You…”
“Wei!” Su Su went pale with fright upon hearing that. She quickly shook her head at Shi Wei and whispered, “This is a private hospital belonging to Su Shaoqing, don’t do anything stupid! Moreover, you have to lay low for now. What if someone finds out about this?”
Shi Wei paled as she clutched her handbag tightly. Her eyes gleamed dangerously as she masked her emotions behind a pair of sunglasses.
After Su Su calmed Shi Wei down, she walked over to Yu Qing and spoke to her courteously. “I’m so sorry, Doctor. Wei is in a bad mood today. How about this? We will do the surgery immediately and admit into the hospital. However, everything will be registered under my name and she will be admitted into the VIP ward. What do you say?”
“Ok!”
Yu Qing relented and nodded. “I’ll arrange for the surgery immediately.”
“Wait!” Su Su called out to her. “Doctor Yu, could you please keep this a secret? What I mean is can you perform Wei’s surgery alone?”
“Alone?” Yu Qing frowned. “You know, I… Fine!” It’s not a major surgery anyway. ”I will arrange for it immediately!”
Shi Nuan recovered from her shock only after Shi Wei, Yu Qing, and the others left. So… Shi Wei’s illness has nothing to do with Fu Xicheng?
This information was too much for Shi Nuan to bear at the moment. She shook her head slightly upon that thought.
She thought Shi Wei had snatched Fu Xicheng away from her because she was crazily in love with him. However, it looked like Fu Xicheng wasn’t Shi Wei’s only option now.
Shi Nuan didn’t know what to think of the situation anymore. She felt terrible about it.
Fu Xicheng went behind Shi Nuan’s back and cheated with Shi Wei, even though Shi Nuan had loved him wholeheartedly. Shi Nuan should have felt happy about the news, but she wasn’t.
Shi Nuan took some time to digest everything before heading out. However, she was greeted with Su Su’s gaze the moment she opened the door. “You…” Shi Nuan was caught by surprise.
“Shi Nuan?” Su Su was also surprised to see Shi Nuan. Realization washed over her as she noticed Shi Nuan had come out from the break room. “You… heard everything?”
Shi Nuan nodded.
Isn’t it obvious? She had been in the break room all this while. So of course she heard everything!
Su Su paled slightly upon hearing that. “Shi Nuan, you… I…”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person.” Shi Nuan smiled. “Nobody knows about this except for you and Doctor Yu. You two will be the prime suspects if anyone were to find out about this. You’re worried that I will put the blame on you, right?”
Su Su nodded.
Shi Nuan chuckled. “Do you think I’m the kind to do that?”
She continued to smile as Su Su kept quiet. “ I’m actually quite curious as to why you’re still hanging around Shi Wei after what happened the last time.”
Su Su bit her lip. “You wouldn’t understand!”
Shi Nuan nodded. “Indeed. I don’t want to, either. But don’t you worry, I won’t do anything to you or Shi Wei. You should have realized that yourself after what happened the last time.”
Shi Nuan curled her lips and was about to explain herself when her phone rang. It was Su Shaoqing’s number. “Hello, Shaoqing?”
“Mrs. Fu, you probably have to wait a little while longer. I can’t leave right now as I still have a patient to attend to here!” Su Shaoqing seemed to be in a hurry as he spoke. “The first operating table, now!” He then continued, “Mrs. Fu, I have to perform surgery now. It’s not anything major. How about I give Liang Lin a call and get him to come to pick you up?”
“No need, Shaoqing. I can head back myself.” Shi Nuan smiled. “You should focus on your surgery now; I’ll be fine.”
“No way, you’re pregnant now. If Fu Chengyan were to find out I left you on your own, he will kill me!” Su Shaoqing said anxiously.
Shi Nuan smiled helplessly. “I’ll be fine. Yan got Jiang Hu’s lackeys to protect me. Nothing will happen. Ok, focus on your surgery now.”
Shi Nuan hung up the phone with that. She raised her brow when she noticed Su Su staring at her. “Why are you looking at me like that, Ms. Su?”
Su Su shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m leaving now as I have other things to tend to.”
Shi Nuan nodded as her gaze followed Su Su out of the room. She then gave Fu Chengyan a call informing him that she would head back herself as Su Shaoqing was busy.
Fu Chengyan immediately returned her call. “Shaoqing is busy?”
“Yeah. Anyway, I’ll be fine. I’ll come back on my own!”
“No way. Wait there. I’ll get Zhou Zheng to come to pick you up immediately!” Fu Chengyan said firmly. “You can take a walk around the hospital first and chat with the nurses at the nurse station if you’re bored.”
Shi Nuan was rendered speechless. “That’s not necessary. How could you ask me to chat with the nurses when they’re at work?” Shi Nuan felt that the people around her had become pretty weird ever since she became pregnant. “Yan, don’t be so nervous. I’m only two months in. You really don’t have to be so nervous about it.”
“Be a good girl and wait for Zhou Zheng to come to pick you up!” Fu Chengyan instructed and ignored Shi Nuan’s protest. “Be good!”
Shi Nuan frowned helplessly, feeling nonplussed. On the other hand, Fu Chengyan had already hung up the phone to call Zhou Zheng.
Shi Nuan couldn’t do anything about it except to roast her husband on social media as she was bored out of her mind: I fell pregnant and have an extremely paranoid husband. What do I do? Help!
