Shi Huan frowned, âMr. Chu, should I call the nurse for you?â
âWhy do you need to call the nurse?â
âIsnât your shoulder sore?â
âYou can massage it for me.â
âI donât know how to.â
âI donât mind.â
âI really donât know how to.â
âWhy are you so bothersome! Youâre even making a fuss just about a shoulder massage?â Saying that, Chu Xiuhuang furrowed his brows, âTen thousand yuan per massage.â
âAlright.â
After Shi Huan responded, she immediately put down the fruit plate, walked over to the bedside, and even rolled up her sleeves.
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
A handsome face twitched slightly in surprise.
What to do when your girlfriend loves money too much?
Iâm quite eager to find out.
Before he could react, he had already been flipped over.
Shi Huan said, âMr. Chu, you should lie down, itâs more convenient that way.â
ââ¦Fine.â
Well, weâll talk after the massage then.
His girlfriend is rarely giving him a massage.
Chu Xiuhuangâs gaze swept casually over her face, then obediently lay down on the hospital bed.
Shi Huan stood by the bed, and with ten thousand yuan in mind, started to seriously massage him.
âMm,â Chu Xiuhuang sighed in satisfaction, âLittle Huanhuan, could you also massage my back?â
âAlright.â Shi Huan moved both hands down, placing them on his back, pressing firmly along his spine.
Her hands were small and her strength weak, it felt like a feather brushing gently against his heart.
âMove a little lower.â Chu Xiuhuang suddenly said.
Shi Huan, unaware of any impropriety, obediently moved her hand down by two inches.
She had barely started whenâ¦
âA little lower.â
Shi Huan had no choice but to move her hand down another two inches.
âA little lower.â
Shi Huan darkened her face, withdrew her hand completely, âMr. Chu, are you teasing me?â
Any lower and she would be touching places she shouldnât be touching!
Chu Xiuhuang coughed twice, âCanât I have a sore waist? Canât you just massage my waist for me?â
Shi Huan ignored him and turned to leave, but barely took a step before her wrist was grabbed and she was forcefully yanked backwards.
He exerted too much strength, and her entire body lost balance, she was about to fall backwards.
Chu Xiuhuang had imagined himself as the male lead in a drama, catching the female leadâ¦
But when Shi Huan was falling, she was panicking and terrified, and in her confusion could only feel her head landing in a manâs arms, with her hands gripping tightly out of fear.
The hospital room instantly fell silent.
Untilâ¦
âShit!â Chu Xiuhuang blurted out.
Shi Huan quickly turned around.
She was slightly stunned, âSorry, Mr. Chu, I didnât do it on purpose.â
âLittle Huanhuan.â Chu Xiuhuang said through gritted teeth, âDoâ¦do you know what you just did?â
âGreat! Iâll go find the doctor.â After Shi Huan finished speaking, she immediately ran out of the room.
Chu Xiuhuang was left stupefied: ââ¦â
Great?
What the hell, Little Huanhuanâs reaction really didnât make any sense.
And what was that expression?
So happy?
Was she really that happy that he was recovering?
He couldnât help cursing in his heart again.
What a fucking disappointment! He was so pathetic. How was he going to keep this hidden now?
â¦
Soon enough, Shi Huan called in Dr. Nangong Chu, who was clad in a white lab coat.
It was evident that Shi Huan was very excited, her voice even trembling, âDr. Nangong, could you quickly check Mr. Chu, is he recovered?â
Nangong Chu thought to himself, of course he is recovered, Chu Xiuhuang never actually had any problem to begin with.
Shi Huan enthusiastically closed the room door, drew the curtain, and nodded respectfully, âDr. Nangong, Iâll leave it to you.â
After that, she turned and sat down on the sofa, quietly waiting.
â¦
About twenty minutes later, Nangong Chu came out from behind the curtain.
Shi Huan hurriedly stepped forward, âDr. Nangong, how is he?â
Chu Xiuhuang squinted his eyes to scrutinize her expression.
Nangong Chu said, âHe has indeed recovered, butâ¦â
âOnly what?â Shi Huan rushed to ask.
Then, Chu Xiuhuangâs handsome face darkened, and he said directly, âOnly he hasnât fully recovered yet, and still needs Little Huanhuan to take good care of him.â
Shi Huanâs eyebrows knitted together in an instant, âHow could this be, just nowâ¦â
âJust now might have been a temporary improvement.â Nangong Chu spoke quickly.
Shi Huan: ââ¦â
âAhem.â Chu Xiuhuang hinted, âDoctor, you can go now.â
Nangong Chu nodded and hastily turned around.
Once she left, Shi Huan immediately asked, âMr. Chu, Is this doctor really up to the task?â
The doctor, with a babyface as if she was just playing around, was only an intern according to her files. She was just twenty-two this year. Probably she got in through the backdoor since this hospital is owned by the Nangong Family.
It was hard to trust her.
âMr. Chu, I suggest we find a more mature, male doctor?â
âYou want a man to treat me?â Chu Xiuhuang retorted.
Shi Huan frowned, âA man⦠thatâs okay, right?â
âItâs not okay.â Chu Xiuhuang glared at her, âWhat are you thinking? You want your boyfriend to be laughed at by the male doctors in the hospital?â
Shi Huan nearly choked on her own saliva, âBoyfriend?â
What the hell?
And why would they laugh at him?
Chu Xiuhuangâs lips formed a thin line, quite arrogantly, âOf course, you could call me hubby in advance if you like.â
After saying that, disregarding Shi Huanâs surprised face, he raised his eyebrows, and seductively winked at her, âHow about you call me hubby first so I can have a listen?â
Though Shi Huan always had a formal demeanor and seemed all-business, her voice was quite sweet. If she called out âhubbyâ, it would certainly sound sweet to the bone.
Who would have knownâ¦
âMr. Chu, do you have a fever?â After saying that, Shi Huan reached out and touched Chu Xiuhuangâs forehead.
It wasnât hot.
When she tried to pull her hand back, Chu Xiuhuang held onto it, âYes, I do have a fever, a high one, Little Huanhuan.â
Chu Xiuhuang looked at her and blurted, âBe my woman.â
Shi Huan, however, thought he was going crazy again. She forcefully pulled her hand back, âMr. Chu, can you stop joking around?â
Chu Xiuhuangâs handsome face instantly sank again, âWhatâs going on with you, didnât we agree already? Youâll be my woman, and take care of me in the future.â
âMr. Chu.â Shi Huan only felt a headache coming on, âI told you, youâll definitely get better.â
âIâm not better now.â
âYouâll definitely get better in the future, I mean you were fine just now, werenât you?â
âI donât care, just remember that you have to take responsibility for me, youâre my woman from now on.â
âMr. Chu, I canât agree to that.â
âWhy not?â
Shi Huan looked at him, bit her lip, and didnât speak for a long time.
Seeing her struggling, Chu Xiuhuang felt a soft spot in his heart, âDo you think youâre not good enough for me?â
Shi Huan nodded in accordance with his words, âYes, Mr. Chu, youâre such an exceptional, perfect man, I really donât deserve you.â
So you should look for someone better.
âI donât mind.â Chu Xiuhuang began to laugh, and didnât forget to comfort her, âActually, youâre quite good, with a little dressing up, youâre totally presentable.â
Shi Huan: ââ¦â
I appreciate it.
Chu Xiuhuang continued, âIâm sorry, I underestimated you before, your figure is actually quite good. But who can blame me? Youâre always bundled up so tightly. I donât have x-ray vision to discover your hidden treasures.â
Shi Huan again: ââ¦â
Chu Xiuhuangâs pair of gleaming eyes were thieves as he looked at her, âWhen you wore that black dress, you were quiteâ¦â
âMr. Chu.â Shi Huan couldnât help but interrupt him.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and in a monotone voice, said, âCan you be serious?â
After being a secretary for five years, sheâd practiced her patience the same amount, yet she was still almost caught off guard by his words.
âI am serious.â Chu Xiuhuang stretched out both hands, âAll in all, Iâm quite satisfied with you.â
Shi Huan chose to turn around and walk away, âMr. Chu, you need to cool down.â
His hands froze in mid-air.
Chu Xiuhuang frowned, âWhere are you going now?â
The response to his question was the âslamâ of the closing door.
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
This damn woman, running away like a bunny.
She really ran fast!

Shi Huan went straight to Nangong Ciâs office.
As soon as she opened the door she said, âDeputy Director, I request a change of doctor for Mr. Chu.â
âWhy?â Nangong Ci raised his eyebrows.
âMr. Chu has been hospitalized for a month now, and every time we ask about his condition, Dr. Nangong is vague. If your hospital canât make Mr. Chu recover, Iâll consider transferring him to another hospital.â
Nangong Ci: ââ¦â
Wait, was she threatening him?
After pausing for a moment, Nangong Ci asked seriously, âWhatâs going on between you and my second brother in the ward?â
Shi Huan was startled, she opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself.
