âWhat?â Huo Jinyao winked at her while driving. âDarling, donât worry. I will try my best to prove it to you that these really wonât last for a year.â
âYou donât need to prove that. You really donât,â Su Qingsang was nearly terrified. âTake it easy. Men need to take good care of their health and not overwork themselves.â
The car suddenly paused. Su Qingsang would have bumped into the windshield if she didnât have the safety belt on.
âHuo Jinyao.â
âDarling, donât worry,â Huo Jinyao stabilized his driving, but didnât forget to give Su Qingsang a glance.
âI will not only prove to you that these wonât last a year, also that my health is excellent. You need not worry about me.â
Su Qingsang was stunned. Seeing the excited look on Huo Jinyaoâs face, she wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears.
âHuo Jinyao, I believe you. You donât have to prove it to me.â
âNo, I need to prove it to you.â
âHuo Jinyao...â
âDonât worry, Iâll make you happy.â
Hearing him emphasizing the word âhappyâ, Su Qingsang felt a headache start.
She wasnât worried that he might not be able to âmake her happyâ. She was simply worried about her own waist.
...
Back home, Huo Jinyao spent the entire night fully proving to Su Qingsang that he had strong stamina and excellent health.
Su Qingsang wasnât as energetic as he was. She woke up to find that her whole body was limp, without any strength at all.
In the hospital, her pale face even caused Director Chenâs concern.
âQingsang, you must be exhausted after yesterday. Would you like a day off?â
âNo, Iâm good.â She wasnât exhausted by her job!
âDonât push yourself too hard,â Director Chen had seen that Weibo post too. âYou are the prettiest doctor in our hospital. You are the face of our gynecology and obstetrics department. Do take good care of yourself.â
âDirector Chen, you are too kind.â
Director Chen waved the medical records in her hand and then walked out.
Even though the Weibo post was no longer viral, as many patients came to see Su Qingsang today as yesterday.
Su Qingsang even had to finish lunch in her office. She only had five minutes for lunch break.
Finally, she got through the morning. Fewer patients came to her in the afternoon. Among them, she saw a familiar face.
Li Rongrong was more than four months pregnant already. She had already started to show a baby bump.
She came into the clinic alone, looking very ill. Her face was ghastly pale.
Su Qingsang was stunned a little when she saw her. She didnât forget why that woman made a scene in the hospital earlier.
Still, she needed to do what a doctor should do.
âWe need to give you a b-ultrasound scan first, then a regular check-up. When was your last menstrual period?â
âDoctor Su, didnât you ask me the same question last time?â
Li Rongrong didnât seem to be able to answer the question at all. She held her belly with one hand, with a panicking, protective gesture.
âDid you bring your medical record?â
âNo.â
âSo, answer the question once again.â
âI forgot. Isnât that your job to keep records for patients?â
âYes, it is. Please go and pay your medical bill now, and then weâll start with the check-up.â
Li Rongrong didnât take over the fee bill form Su Qingsangâs hand but held her belly with one hand with a painful look on her face.
âMy stomach is aching. I canât move.â
âWhich part is aching? Get up and let me take a look.â
âItâs aching everywhere. The entire stomach is aching...â
Su Qingsang carefully observed her face. She couldnât tell if the woman was really suffering a stomachache, or if she was faking it. Still, she reached out to help Li Rongrong.
