Chapter 123 Do I Have to Be with You?

She lowered the car curtain, sat upright and looked at the man opposite her.

Meeting his expression, she was stunned for a moment.

The handsome man kept his mouth shut, his handsome eyebrows drooped, and his dark eyes stared at her motionlessly, with a very aggrieved expression.

Well, with this aggrieved look on her face, the depression in her heart disappeared.

It’s not his fault that he has that kind of idea. We just need to communicate well.

She said slowly, "You should know that I know medical skills."

"Don't ask me why I understand. I'll tell you when I have the chance."

"I think my medical skills are pretty good, no worse than those of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital."

Lu Jiangnian didn't know why she brought this up, but it was undeniable that judging from the process of her detoxification and acupuncture at Rongshou Hall today, these words were not exaggerations.

When Xuan Huang looked at her, the admiring expression on his face said it all; his wife was an amazing medical skill.

"I like studying medicine and I plan to practice medicine. I originally planned to open a clinic next year or the year after, so that I can put my knowledge into practice and save lives."

She had thought before that he would fall in love with Liang Yusong, and then the marriage would naturally end.

She would also leave the capital and find a small county with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs, open a clinic, and completely cut off all ties with the people and things in the capital.

Today, she has also realized that he doesn't like Liang Yusong and he really wants to be with her.

So, would he support her idea?

"In the eyes of doctors, there is no difference between men and women, only patients."

"Just now, Rongshu was a dead man in my eyes. I contacted him only to find out the cause of his death."

"Lu Jiangnian, think it over. Can you accept my ideas?"

Lu Jiangnian clenched his fists tightly and thought for a long time before he spoke slowly.

"A doctor's job is tiring and hard. A female doctor bears more pressure than a male doctor because others will question and despise you. Even Liang Yusong, with the support of Imperial Doctor Gao, would not dare to do so."

"You have always been very clear-headed. How could you not know that this road is not easy to walk on?"

"In the Lu family, you can be my wife with peace of mind, with no worries about food and clothing, and I will protect you from the wind and rain, isn't that good?"

Yuan Wanru shook her head firmly, looked him in the eyes, and said seriously: "I do this not for fame or profit, but just to make sure that my skills are not wasted and to be worthy of what I have learned throughout my life."

"I run a clinic. If you believe in me, I will treat you. If you don't believe in me, just leave. It's our own will. There's no need to force it."

"As for other people's opinions, I don't care at all."

Her eyes were sparkling, persistent and shining. He didn't know where her ability came from, but he already understood that she was determined to do this.

What should he do?

To be honest, he really didn't like her doing these things.

Not to mention other things, once she gets busy, how much time can she spare for him?

More importantly, if the patient is a male, would she also see him?

To touch their skin with her hands?

Thinking of this, he wished he could cut the man into pieces.

He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "What if I strongly object?"

Yuan Wanru was stunned. She had thought that he would give this answer, but when she heard it, she couldn't help feeling sad.

After all, she must like him, otherwise why would she allow him to kiss her again and again.

However, she would never give up on this matter. She said firmly: "This is my life. I have the absolute right to decide."

"If you really can't accept it, then we are probably not suitable..."

Lu Jiangnian angrily pulled her hand, feeling that the person in front of him was someone he loved and hated at the same time.

"Don't jump to conclusions. You haven't even started a clinic yet. We can discuss many things. I'm not a broken stone that you can throw away at will."

"How can you be so hard-hearted? Between opening a clinic and me, you gave up on me without hesitation. Have you ever considered my feelings?"

His chest was heaving violently and his eyes were fierce, as if if she said something unpleasant, he would pounce on her and bite her the next moment.

How could Yuan Wanru be afraid of him?

"I'm not in love with someone else. Practicing medicine and being with you are two different things. There is no conflict between them. It's you who put these two things in opposition."

"Lu Jiangnian, it's always easy to criticize others when the problem doesn't happen to you."

"The old man has always wanted you to take the literary examination. You are a good student, so this path is suitable for you."

"But you secretly found a martial arts master, learned martial arts since childhood, and finally went to the military camp."

"You can stick to your choice and not waver, so why can't I?"

Lu Jiangnian frowned and said coldly: "My situation is different from yours. Whether it is literature or martial arts, it is the right way to realize a man's ambition. No one will criticize me for this."

"What about you? You practice medicine and treat patients regardless of gender. How can I allow you to point fingers at those men? Not to mention seeing it with my own eyes, even if I imagine it, I can't accept it."

"If we were in each other's shoes, could you accept it?"

Yuan Wanru said calmly: "If you face all this as a doctor, I can accept it."

Lu Jiangnian looked at her sternly without saying a word.

She refused to be outdone and stared back at him with a determined look in her eyes.

It was a silent confrontation, as if whoever spoke would lose.

The carriage had long been parked at the gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and the coachman had run away early in the morning. He vaguely heard that the two masters seemed to be arguing about something in the carriage, but he didn't dare to stay and eavesdrop.

Nanny Pang was holding a letter in her hand, waiting anxiously.

Why did you start arguing?

Why are you arguing?

Isn’t this a good time?

She listened carefully, but there seemed to be no movement. She boldly walked closer to the carriage and said, "Master, Madam, light the lamps. It's time for dinner."

This voice broke the silence between the two people.

He took a deep breath and decided to take a step back: "If you really want to practice medicine, can you only accept female patients?"

Helplessly, he chose to compromise.

Because he understood that he couldn't convince her, so he would rather take a step back.

Yuan Wanru understood that he was already making concessions, but she had no way of agreeing to this request.

What if a male patient was about to die in front of her, wouldn't she also provide first aid?

Silence is the best answer.

Lu Jiangnian had a fire in his heart that almost burned away his sanity.

What should he do with her?

He couldn't take it lightly or seriously, and felt like he was about to suffocate himself, but the person opposite him was still calm and collected.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never been as helpless as he is now.

"Okay, you are really cruel, Yuan Wanru, do you think I must have you?"

After saying that, he was the first to lift the curtain of the car, jumped down, and strode away like an angry lion, his whole body filled with the aura of violence and destruction.

Nanny Pang was originally planning to go forward to meet him, but she was frightened by Lu Jiangnian's behavior and stopped where she was.

Oh my God, why is the eldest master so angry? What happened?
