Huo Jinyao was stumped for a moment, and then he suddenly broke into laughter. “What a silly question, dear! You’re my wife, so who should I treat well if not you?”

Is it as simple as that? Then if he were married to someone else, would he treat his wife as well as he is treating me now?

Su Qingsang could not help but wonder. A dullness came over her eyes.

At this moment, Huo Jinyao held her hand in his. “What’s wrong, my dear? Are you still unhappy?”

“No, it’s not that.” Su Qingsang was having difficulty conveying her thoughts. “Huo Jinyao, I just feel that...”

“Don’t you worry, my dear. I’ll treat you even better in the future.”

As he spoke, he leaned over to her and kissed her. She was already used to this habit of his.

“You’ve transferred the oil from your lips to my face.”

“Have I? There’s nothing to worry about. My dear has a good complexion, so just treat it as replenishment of moisture.”

Su Qingsang did not want to carry on with the conversation. She felt that they were on completely different frequencies. “What I mean is, you don’t have to be this way.”

“What do you mean by ‘this way’?”

“It’s...” Su Qingsang was tempted to explain, but she still needed time to get used to his method of glossing over everything with a kiss.

She needed to get used to how he consistently treated her well, and how he always loved to have his way with her...

“Huo Jinyao, you really don’t have to behave like this. I’m an adult. I can take care of myself.”

“I know that perfectly well.” Huo Jinyao nodded solemnly. “I know you’re an adult, but you’re also my wife.”

“Then why did you marry me?” Su Qingsang had always wanted to find out the reason. “I know I was the one who raised the idea of marriage, but what made you agree to it?”

“What do you think?”

“I don’t know.”

“That is because you’re so attractive.” Huo Jinyao had a frivolous look on his face. “I fell in love with you at first sight. It had to be you.”

“You’re spouting nonsense again.” She knew her own merits and the level of her attractiveness.

“I mean what I say. It’s all true.” Huo Jinyao leaned in close again. “Dear, in my heart, you’re the most beautiful woman in the world. You’re comparable to an angel. Oh, no, no, no, an angel wouldn’t be quite as beautiful as you.”

He was starting to exaggerate, so Su Qingsang did not press on with her questions.

“Let’s tuck in. Stop being so touchy-feely.” She pulled his hand off hers. Su Qingsang really could not put up with how he was always so eager to please.

“Yes, as you wish.” Huo Jinyao settled back onto his seat. However, a moment later, he leaned close to her again. “Dear, try this. It’s really tasty.”

At this point, Su Qingsang’s temper was completely pacified. She realized that confronting Huo Jinyao was fruitless no matter what she did.

Forget it. She could not bother herself with trying to reason with him anymore.

...

Su Qingsang’s two-day break from work felt like no break at all. However, she had been adamant in barring Huo Jinyao’s amorous advances that night, so she had gotten restful sleep.

Hurrying into the hospital, the latest news she got regarding Zhang Mei was that her kin had already been to the hospital to settle details of her funeral.

After this incident, Su Qingsang’s reputation had been seriously boosted. There had even been people who had come on purpose to seek treatment from her.

All of a sudden, Su Qingsang’s number of patients doubled. She was completely exhausted after a whole morning of consultations.

When she was having lunch at noon, both directors Zhang Qiubai and Chen Xiaoyu had a good laugh about her current predicament.

However, in the afternoon, the department’s personnel was faced with a serious work assignment and the laughter ceased.

Every year after mid-autumn, the hospital would organize a medical group to visit the countryside. It was one of the hospital’s key events.

This year, Su Qingsang’s name was included in the list of appointed medical personnel in the group.

Upon receiving this piece of news, Su Qingsang stared blankly at the hospital’s management team.

“We’re going to the countryside?”
