Chapter 640: Being a Man in the Next Life (Page 1/2)

When Huo Qingci heard that Qiu Mingyue had already paid the money, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.

If she refused to give him the money, he would have to bite the bullet and ask Shan Ke for it.

But once he did this, Shan Ke would definitely ask why he wanted the money. At that time, should he tell the truth or make up an excuse to get away with it?

Thinking of this, Huo Qingci couldn't help but turn his head to look at Manman beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Manman, you shouldn't have told her about Shan Ke buying Tianma for his mother, right?"

Lin Man quickly waved her hands and replied, "Of course not. Didn't you tell me before that Shan Ke's mother had migraines? Even Shan Ke himself hasn't mentioned this to his wife, so how could I possibly go and tell her?"

Huo Qingci nodded, indicating his approval of Manman's approach. Then, he couldn't help but sigh and continued, "Well, actually, I also heard Shan Ke mention some of his family's situations.

It is said that his marriage with his wife was an arranged marriage and there was almost no love between the two.

Moreover, Shan Ke also said that his wife only cares about her parents' family and doesn't care about her husband's family at all.

Did you know that Shan Ke's younger brother had two daughters after marriage? Unfortunately, he suffered an accident that injured his genitals and made him unable to have children.

So Shan Ke decided to send his youngest son to be raised by his younger brother, and he would send his younger brother ten yuan every month as living expenses for the child.

At this point, Huo Qingci paused, a look of disbelief on his face: "I never thought that Shan Ke's wife would agree to something like this!

Normally, a wife would make a big fuss in this situation, but she accepted everything so calmly.

I have to say, the way they get along is so strange and different!"

Lin Man also thought that the couple was weird. The child said he would give it away, so Qiu Mingyue didn't care at all.

Could it be that in her heart, her own son is not as important as her nephew from her mother's side?

"Qiu Mingyue asked me to pass on a message to Doctor Dan, telling him that she had received the Gastrodia elata and that he should work hard here and save money, as the children still need to go to school. She also asked him to write a letter to the children when he has time, saying that they miss him."

After hearing these words, Huo Qingci couldn't help but feel a deep sympathy for Shan Ke.

It turned out that in order to get a promotion opportunity, Shan Ke specifically applied for a transfer and came to the prosperous Hai City.

However, what he never expected was that his efforts did not receive the proper care and support from his wife.

Not only did his wife not care about him at all, she even repeatedly told him to save money when he was out and not to squander it.

Because of this, whenever Shan Ke sees the dish of sweet and sour spare ribs in the company cafeteria, his eyes will instantly light up.

Huo Qingci secretly speculated that perhaps Shan Ke rarely ate meat at home. With such a high salary, there was no reason for him not to eat meat. The only possibility was that his wife sent the meat coupons he was given back to her parents' home.

Thinking of this, Huo Qingci couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had found a considerate, gentle and virtuous wife.

Lin Man knew very well that he worked very hard every day, so no matter how late he came home from overtime, she would always prepare a table of steaming hot and fragrant delicious dishes for him in advance.

This meticulous care made Huo Qingci feel happy and warm.

Huo Qingci said gratefully, "Manman, I'm truly blessed to have such a considerate and kind wife like you. If there's another life, I still hope to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you."

Hearing this, Lin Man said tenderly, "There's no such thing as a next life. If there really is a next life, then let's just switch roles!

How about I be the man and you be my little woman? Then I can marry you home in style! What do you think?

Huo Qingci sighed softly and responded with a smile, "Okay, as long as I can make my Manman happy, even if there is an afterlife, I am willing to be your woman, bear children for you, and take care of the housework."

After saying that, the two smiled at each other, with endless love and tenderness in each other's eyes.

Then, Huo Qingci slowly turned his head and cast his gaze back to the road ahead. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and drove the vehicle with a focused and serious expression.

At this moment, Lin Man, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly burst out laughing, breaking the originally charming atmosphere in the car.

"Qingci, you actually really want to be a woman in your next life?"

Lin Man looked at Huo Qingci's handsome profile with a smile on her face, with a hint of curiosity and teasing in her eyes.

Huo Qingci shook his head gently, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and responded: "In my next life, I would actually prefer to continue to be a man, but if you become a man, then there is no way, I will have to wronged myself and become a woman.

After all, we can't both become grown men and still love each other, right? This scene seems a bit weird just thinking about it."

Hearing this, Lin Man raised an eyebrow, a serious expression on her face, and retorted: "Who says it's not possible? If you really love each other, so what if you are of the same sex? Maybe I was a man in my previous life."

After hearing this, Huo Qingci shook his head helplessly again, smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, I can't believe you're so eager to be a man.

In that case, then okay, I'll let you be on top tonight, but you have to love me well."

Lin Man had never expected Huo Qingci to suddenly say such a risqué joke. Her face immediately flushed, and she glared at him in anger, saying coquettishly:

"Just drive your car properly! Stop letting your mind wander all day. I'm going to close my eyes for a while. Just remember to wake me up when we get to the destination!"

Seeing this, Huo Qingci quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking.

He secretly turned his head to glance at his wife who looked tired beside him, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

So, he stepped lightly on the accelerator and continued to drive the car silently and attentively, driving steadily on the road.

Forty minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of a military hospital where Huo Qingci worked.

After the car stopped, Lin Man opened the door and slowly got out.

Huo Qingci got out of the car right after him, walked to the back door and opened it, then took out the luggage inside one by one and quickly locked the door.

"Manman, we've arrived at the hospital. Come upstairs with me first. I'll go to the dean's office to return the car keys, and then we'll go back to the dormitory together."

"good."

The sunlight shines through the clear windows of the hospital corridor and falls onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

Huo Qingci was carrying an exquisite suitcase in one hand and a slightly heavy luggage bag in the other. He walked in front with steady steps, leading the way for Lin Man behind him.

Lin Man followed closely behind, raising her hands from time to time to tidy up her messy hair and tug at her sleeves, trying to make herself look neat and decent.

The two walked side by side, heading towards the inpatient building of the military hospital.

Along the way, Huo Qingci softly introduced the layout of the hospital and the distribution of departments to Lin Man. His voice was gentle and magnetic.

"Manman, this is the military hospital. The cardiovascular department is on the third floor of this building, and the director's office is on the fourth floor. Let's go to the third floor first."

After saying that, he turned around and smiled gently at Lin Man. Lin Man nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Her eyes were always on Huo Qingci's tall and straight back, and her heart was filled with warmth and peace of mind.

Not long after, Huo Qingci and Lin Man arrived safely at the door of the cardiovascular department's office on the third floor.

He walked quickly into the office, gently put down the luggage in his hands, and then turned to look at Lin Man who was still standing at the door. He smiled and waved at her, indicating that she should come in quickly. "Manman, don't stand there. Come in quickly."

Lin Man took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then slowly walked into the room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Huo Qingci standing next to the middle-aged man with a kind face and glasses, with a smile on his face.

When Huo Qingci saw Lin Man coming in, he quickly introduced her to Yang Zhiyuan with a smile, "Director Yang, this is my wife, Lin Man."

Then, he patted Lin Man's shoulder gently, his eyes full of doting.

"Manman, this is our department director, Director Yang."

Lin Man's face instantly blossomed with a smile as bright as a spring flower. She politely extended her right hand to Yang Zhiyuan, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, Director Yang! It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello, hello! Welcome to Hai City."

With a smile on his face, Huo Qingci enthusiastically introduced other colleagues to Lin Man one by one.

Some of the colleagues were smiling, while others were a little reserved, but without exception, they all gave Lin Man friendly glances.

Lin Man greeted everyone gracefully and her sweet voice was like a spring breeze, making people feel particularly comfortable.

After the greeting, everyone responded to her greetings, and the atmosphere became harmonious and friendly.

At this time, Huo Qingci gently took Lin Man's hand, led her to his seat, and said considerately: "Manman, please sit here for a while. I'll go return the car keys and be back soon."

Lin Man nodded slightly, her eyes full of tenderness and sweetness, and replied softly: "Okay, then go quickly and come back soon!"

After Huo Qingci turned and left, a burst of whispers suddenly rang out in the originally quiet office.

Zhu Yongsheng excitedly pulled Shan Ke aside and whispered in a low voice, "Hey, Doctor Shan, look, am I right? Deputy Director Huo's wife is truly a beauty!"

She is simply a beauty! She is even prettier than the girl on the big poster!"

After hearing this, Shan Ke couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly to show his agreement. At the same time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he echoed:

"That's right. Ji Fenfen from our hospital is usually quite pretty, but compared to Lin Man, she's just like an inconspicuous little white flower!"

As they talked, they would occasionally steal glances in the direction of Lin Man, as if they were afraid of being heard by her.

Lin Man pretended not to hear and sat quietly. At this time, Director Yang, who was sitting opposite her, handed a morning newspaper to Lin Man.

"Mrs. Huo, this is our local newspaper. You can read it to kill time."

To ease the awkwardness, Lin Man took the hug from Director Yang and said with a smile, "Thank you, Director Yang."

Zhu Yongsheng held the pen tightly in his hand and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Deputy Director Huo's wife was truly gentle and kind! Her gentle demeanor and sweet smile made him involuntarily envious.

If I could become Huo Qingci, I would never want to leave such a peaceful place, let alone be transferred to Hai City.

Alas, how foolish! Zhu Yongsheng shook his head and sighed secretly. Deputy Director Huo was so capable, there would always be opportunities for promotion. Why would he ask for trouble and leave such a virtuous and gentle wife and lovely children?

He really couldn't understand, does career development have to sacrifice family?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yongsheng thought of Qin Xiang, the divorced daughter of Dean Qin.

He had been pestering Huo Qingci before, and wanted to stay in Hai City to be the son-in-law of the Qin family, but was finally ruthlessly rejected by Huo Qingci.

Now that I think about it, it's not hard to understand Huo Qingci. After all, he already has such a beautiful wife at home. Even if he were given ten women like Qin Xiang, he probably wouldn't be willing to trade them.

At this moment, Shan Ke noticed the lewd smile on Zhu Yongsheng's face.

He laughed secretly in his heart: As expected, all men in the world are the same, they all like to stare at beautiful girls.

He is the same, he can't take his eyes off beautiful women.

It was indeed so. Those beautiful women belonged to other families. Director Huo was so lucky. He really couldn't envy such a blessing.
