Shu Panâs gaze trembled, but she remained silent. She was too tired to explain and managed to free herself from Wen Chiâs embrace.
Upon hearing Wen Chi address Shu Pan that way, Tong Fei couldnât help but smile, saving, âHaha, I didnât expect you and Dr. Wen to be so close. I had no idea. We must get to know each other better another day. You two can chat, and
I wonât disturb you.â
Satisfied with the answer, Tong Fei hastily turned to Gu Shaotingâs ward.
As Tong Fei left, Shu Pan turned around to leave as well.
âHey, are you just going to leave like that?â Wen Chi looked at her, furrowing his eyebrows slightly.
Shu Pan didnât look back, and calmly said, âSir, weâre strangers. We didnât know each other before, and we wonât know each other in the future. Iâm leaving.â
Wen Chi stepped in front of her, his tone light and lazy, âYou helped me once, so I owe you a favor. If you need help, just say it. After all, acquaintances are fate. How about becoming friends?â
He lowered his gaze slightly, capturing the delicate features of her face, a playful smile flickering in his eyes.
âNo need, letâs just treat each other as strangers if we meet again,â Shu Pan said lightly, pushed his hand away, opened the door, and walked out. Her slim figure carried a heavy sense of loneliness.
Wen Chi didnât chase after her, withdrawing his hand, tapping the table with a deep interest, his handsome face adorned with a deeper smile. He muttered softly, âSuch an interesting woman.â
Back in Gu Shaotingâs ward, Tong Fei was still smiling, casually saying, âI really didnât expect Shu Pan to be so familiar with Dr. Wen. Dr. Wen is a well-known obstetrician and gynecologist in this hospital. They really seem like a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.â
She spoke nonchalantly, but her gaze lingered on the manâs face, not shifting for a moment.
Gu Shaoting sat on the bed, his expression unreadable. His pitch-black eyes appeared calm yet profound, concealing his inner turmoil. Upon hearing Tong Feiâs words, his heart had already been thrown into chaos.
Since when did Shu Pan know Dr. Wen? Among the people she knew, there seemed to be no one with the surname Wen, let alone a doctor. Could they have just met?
There were many doubts in his heart, but he kept them concealed. Clad in a hospital gown, his tall and lean figure remained unparalleled in its handsomeness.
âWhat Dr. Wen?â Song Can couldnât help but ask.
âI saw Shu Pan hugging a doctor when I went out. I asked, and it turns out heâs Dr. Wen Chi, the head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department in this hospital,â Tong Fei added, her tone exaggerating the situation.
âWhat? Hugging?â Song Can exclaimed.
âMom, why donât you both leave for now?â Gu Shaotingâs voice was heavy as he addressed Song Can and Tong Fei. Their constant surprises were giving him a headache.
âAlright, letâs go, Feifei,â Song Can huffed, pulling open the door.
As they walked out of the room, they saw Shu Pan at the corner and Song Can quickly approached her without a word. With a swift motion, her hand slapped Shu Panâs face, who was caught off guard and stumbled back a step, covering her stinging cheek with her hand. It wasnât until she noticed Tong Fei behind Song Can that she finally understood what had happened.
âMom, it was a misunderstanding,â Shu Pan couldnât help but explain.
âDonât call me mom. Stay away from my son. I donât have a daughter-in-law like you. Shu Pan, why are you still clinging to him?â Song Can raised her voice in excitement.
Shu Pan stood as if she hadnât heard, her gaze lost in thought. Her delicate figure appeared even more slender, and her disheveled hair added to her disarray.
âThe Gu family has a reputation to uphold. It canât be tarnished by a woman like you who flirts around. Shu Pan, I hope when Shaoting gets discharged, Iâll see you two divorced instead of you clinging to him. Take care of yourself.â After leaving these harsh words, Song Can left.
As Shu Pan watched her retreating figure, she absentmindedly touched her stomach, âBaby, what should Mom do?â
