Xia Yueyue waved her hand, "I didn't mean that, Brother Gu, you misunderstood me."

"I thought you men would prioritize your careers, but I didn't expect you to get married at only twenty-two."

Gu Sinian said dismissively, "If I meet someone I like, why don't I make a move sooner? Why wait until someone else steals her away before I regret it?"

Xia Yueyue gave an awkward smile. "I didn't mean it that way. Commander Gu, you misunderstood me. You can't get angry when you're sick, or it will make your condition worse."

How could he not be angry?

He and his young wife finally managed to get some time to be intimate, but it was always interrupted...

It's no wonder he's angry.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my hospital room?"

Xia Yueyue immediately introduced herself, "I'm a newly transferred nurse. You saved me yesterday..."

Gu Sinian nodded expressionlessly, "Oh, it's you."

"Yes, it's me. You almost lost your life to save me last night. I don't have much to repay you with, but this is some chicken soup I just made this morning to help you recover."

After saying that, he placed the thermos on the table and ladled the chicken soup from it into a bowl without giving Su Ying a second glance.

Is she invisible?

When she doesn't exist.

"We'll have something to eat later, so please take your chicken soup with you, Comrade Xia."

Is chicken soup something really that amazing?

She has it in her space.

Xia Yueyue paused in her scoop of soup. "Sister-in-law, I'm just repaying a debt of gratitude. Don't overthink it."

"You didn't even bring any nutritional supplements when visiting a patient, you came empty-handed. Brother Gu is really unlucky to have married you."

"It's none of your business how I am. Gu Sinian is my husband. Even if I abuse him, it's none of your business."

What a jerk! What a rotten woman! Playing the hero and saving the damsel in distress! She's furious that he's already asserting his dominance over her. She'd risk her life for such a scheming woman.

Well done.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She then punched Gu Sinian hard. The man was already injured, and although Su Ying held back her strength, she still let out a muffled groan, and fine sweat seeped from her forehead.

"You murdered your husband!"

"I'll kill you. Even in this state, you still have the nerve to seduce other women. I'll just let you suffer until you die. If you don't uphold male virtues, your husband won't want you."

"Don't even think about it. You're destined to be my wife for life, there's no going back, so give up on that idea."

Xia Yueyue watched the couple bicker. Although they were arguing on the surface, she could see the deep affection between them. Just a moment ago, she had the upper hand, but how did she manage to turn the tables with just one sentence?

Xia Yueyue pretended not to see anything and handed the ladled chicken soup to Gu Sinian.

"Brother Gu, have a bowl of chicken soup. Your injuries are so severe. Drinking more chicken soup will help you heal and make you recover faster."

Gu Sinian originally wanted to reach out and take it, but Su Ying coughed, and Gu Sinian's hand stopped there, unsure whether to take it or not.

Su Ying angrily slapped Gu Sinian's hand, which was hanging in mid-air, and complained.

"Why are you drinking chicken soup? You won't starve if you skip a meal. Have you never had chicken soup in your life? You think you can repay a life-saving favor with such a small amount of kindness? You're dreaming. Let's get practical."

Xia Yueyue stared in disbelief at the vulgar woman in front of her. What did she have that made her worthy of Brother Gu?

If Brother Gu hadn't gotten married, would it be possible for her to become his wife?

"Then, according to your suggestion, how should we repay this life-saving grace?"

"Of course I'll give you money. It's simple, quick, and convenient. A bowl of chicken soup can't repay a life-saving debt. I'm afraid you'll try to get close to my husband by using the excuse of repaying a life-saving debt."

"Why not just give them money? Be straightforward, buy off the debt of saving your life, settle the score, and ideally never have anything to do with them again."

Xia Yueyue stared at Su Ying in shock. This woman was not as vulgar and rude as she had imagined. On the contrary, she was very perceptive and saw through Xia Yueyue's intentions at a glance.

That's exactly what she thought.

Approaching Brother Gu in the name of repaying a debt of gratitude would leave no room for criticism.

"A life-saving grace is a matter of utmost importance; how can it be bought off with money? Are you obsessed with money?"

"Whether I'm obsessed with money or not is none of your business. My husband is married, and if he keeps getting entangled with other women, he's just having an affair. If rumors spread, that won't be good."

"After all, having an affair can result in severe punishment, and you might even lose your job. Comrade Xia, don't you agree?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't mean that."

"Then may I ask, Comrade Xia, are you married?"

Xia Yueyue shook her head, "No."

"That settles it then. You, an unmarried young woman, getting entangled with a married man as a way of repaying a debt of gratitude, isn't that just being a slut?"

"No, I only want to repay my kindness."

"Then pay up."

"A life-saving debt can never be repaid with money."

"Based on our position as the parties involved, I personally believe that money can solve 90% of the problems, and so can the debt of saving a life."

"Comrade Xia, don't let those feudal ideas imprison you and believe in the fallacy of repaying a life-saving debt with your body."

"You don't need to use the tactic of offering yourself in marriage. My husband is already married. Besides, if a single girl like you hangs around a married man every day, it will be bad for your reputation. You might even get a reputation for being a womanizer, which would make it very difficult for you to get married in your life."

"After all, no normal man likes a woman who has had affairs. It's harder than climbing to heaven for her to get married in this lifetime."

Xia Yueyue was almost in tears; all her plans had been exposed.
