"Mrs. Wu, please tell me what you need for all of this, and what precautions you should take."

Du Wenqing pulled Wu's mother aside, and Wu's mother smiled and told her what pregnant women need to pay attention to.

Qin Yu also wanted to hear, so he pricked up his ears and listened intently.

Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu but ignored his little gesture.

Xia Lan carefully examined Qin Yu's injuries, noticing the scattered bruises on his body, and mischievously reached out and poked one of them.

"Hiss!!" Qin Yu gasped, looking at Xia Lan in disbelief.

Xia Lan smiled slightly.

"So you do feel pain after all?"

"...I'm a human being too, aren't I?"

Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan and said guiltily.

Seeing that Xia Lan's hand was about to reach out again, Qin Yu held his breath, waiting for Xia Lan's hand to poke him.

This time, however, something faster than a finger was a tear.

Qin Yu was startled and looked at Xia Lan, only to see that Xia Lan's face was covered in tears.

More than Xia Lan's anger, Qin Yu was alarmed by her tears.

He frantically tried to wipe away Xia Lan's tears, but no matter how he wiped, the tears only flowed more.

Qin Yu looked to the others for help, hoping they could comfort Xia Lan.

Du Wenqing and the others exchanged a silent glance, then turned and walked out of the ward in tacit agreement, leaving the ward to the flustered Qin Yu.

"Honey, don't cry! I...I'm really fine, I just need to stay in bed for a month, really."

Qin Yu endured the pain and tried to sit up to hug Xia Lan, but his body was more realistic than his thoughts; he simply couldn't sit up.

"You can hit me, you can yell at me, just don't cry!"

Qin Yu said urgently.

"I'll do anything you ask, please!"

No matter what Ren Qinyu said, Xia Lan's tears just wouldn't stop falling.

This was more painful for him than killing Qin Yu.

Xia Lan didn't burst into tears, but even those few tears made Qin Yu want to kill her.

Xia Lan silently shed tears for half an hour, her eyes turning red and swollen.

In the end, it was only when the nurse came in to change Qin Yu's dressing that his life was saved.

From that moment on, this memory was deeply etched in Qin Yu's mind, and he vowed never to let his wife cry, no matter what.

"I remember you. You're pregnant, aren't you? You can't cry like this while you're pregnant; it's bad for the baby."

The nurse placed the tray on the bedside table and gave Xia Lan some instructions.

"Um."

Hearing that it was bad for the child, Xia Lan obediently wiped away her tears and stopped crying.

Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and gave the nurse a grateful look.

"And you, can't you just give me a break? You're always causing me trouble. Were you trying to get out of bed again? Look, your wound has reopened. It was only just starting to heal, and you've reopened it! When will you ever get better?"

The nurses didn't care that Qin Yu was a patient and continued to berate him.

"that is."

Xia Lan echoed softly.

"You should yell at him more!"

The nurse gave Xia Lan an amused look.

"Who is this person to you?"

"My husband is a real handful."

Xia Lan pointed at Qin Yu and accused him.

"You husband, what kind of husband are you? You didn't even know your wife was pregnant, and you weren't even there for the past few days she's been in the hospital!"

Upon hearing Xia Lan's words, the nurse immediately spoke up for her.

"It was my fault."

Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan and said seriously.

"snort."

Xia Lan turned her head away, ignoring him.

"Don't be angry. Your husband's injury is quite something that he can keep quiet. You'll have to be careful in the future. If it doesn't heal properly, his foot will definitely hurt on rainy days."

The nurse also turned around and tried to persuade Xia Lan.

"Is there any way to stop his pain?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Lan exclaimed, "Isn't this rheumatism?"

"It might not hurt, it all depends on his recovery period. He must recover properly and not be willful! He must listen to the doctor!"

The nurse comforted Xia Lan while also giving Qin Yu some instructions.

"Thank you, nurse."

Xia Lan watched as the nurse deftly changed Qin Yu's dressing, the gauze soaked with blood.

Xia Lan looked at the gauze and glared angrily at Qin Yu.

"If you don't take good care of your injury, I won't come to see you again."

"Don't be angry, I will take good care of my injury."

Qin Yu quickly grabbed Xia Lan's hand; he didn't want to lose sight of his wife.

"Only your wife can handle you! If you had been this obedient earlier, your injuries wouldn't still be healing!"

The nurse glanced at the 'well-behaved' Qin Yu with amusement.

He's good-looking, and instead of properly resting his injury, he always insists on getting up to go find his wife. This has become the talk of the department.

"A handsome and devoted man lives in room 308; he keeps saying he wants to find his wife."

Qin Yu's face stiffened, and he awkwardly turned his head away.

Xia Lan looked at the dead Qin Yu and a smirk appeared on her lips.

"Now that you've found a wife, don't cause any more trouble."

The nurse finished speaking with a smile and then left with the tray.

"I just can't find you, I'm so worried."

Qin Yu explained.

Xia Lan looked up at Qin Yu.

"Didn't you go home? How did you get injured protecting Old Master Du?"

Xia Lan pursed her lips and looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu gave Xia Lan a deep look and told her what had happened.

"I did want to go back, but Old Du received a mission that would be dangerous, so I didn't go back and stayed by his side."

Xia Lan nodded. She knew that Du Wenqing was probably researching something that was very important to the country.
