Chapter 79 What tricks did he use? It's true what they say, pregnancy makes you stupid for three years.
As soon as Zhang Yue arrived, she snorted coldly upon seeing Zhao Shuyi, clearly still angry about what Gu Yan had said yesterday.
Zhao Shuyi hurriedly went to greet her.
"Hey, don't come too close to me, or you'll catch my morning sickness," she joked.
Zhao Shuyi was quite helpless. "That's what he said, it has nothing to do with me, why are you still angry with me?"
Zhang Yue wasn't really angry. Why would she get angry with Zhao Shuyi over such a trivial matter?
I was just teasing her.
"Fine, since you're my good friend, I won't argue with your petty man."
"Let me see our bride, isn't she beautiful! Luckily, Shuyi did my makeup when I got married. Shuyi, you have to teach me, I want to learn too, I want to be beautiful myself."
"I'll teach you, of course I'll teach you, but since you're pregnant now, it's best to avoid this kind of thing."
Both of them were surprised and asked, "Will this thing be bad for your health?"
Logically speaking, cosmetics from this era shouldn't have the messy problems of later generations, but the eyebrow pencil and eyeshadow were things the original owner had kept at home.
Those cosmetics looked like they were imported products, but she didn't know anything about them, so it was best not to take any risks if possible.
Of course, she couldn't tell them that, so she could only say, "I'm not really sure either. I bought this at the Friendship Store in Beijing. I heard that some foreigners try to fool us with substandard products. To avoid any problems, we should be careful, it's all for the baby. But it shouldn't have any effect on adults, since we don't use it often or swallow it."
To be honest, Qiu Jiawen does know a bit about cosmetics. After all, she studied medicine and knows some of the ingredients in these cosmetics.
"Generally speaking, this small amount shouldn't have any impact, but Shuyi is right, it's always good to be careful. However, Shuyi has already told me the secret to making makeup look good."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue rushed to Zhao Shuyi's side in surprise, "Comrade Zhao Shuyi, do you not like me anymore? Are we still good friends? How could you leave me out?"
She spoke in a pitiful manner, which made her look quite cute.
Zhao Shuyi said helplessly, "Be careful when you walk, don't rush. You forgot, you have a little tyrant in your belly. I'm worried that he won't be disciplined when he comes out."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue's eyes widened even more. She felt that Zhao Shuyi was hitting her right in the heart. How could she say such a thing?
"No, you can't do that! Tell me you were just joking! If he causes trouble outside, I'll put him in your house to raise!"
Zhang Yue was truly terrified. Ever since the child started showing signs of pregnancy, it had been constantly tormenting her. If it turned out to be a monstrous troublemaker, she felt hopeless about her life.
Seeing her expression, Zhao Shuyi knew she was suffering, and quickly soothingly patted her belly.
"Alright, alright, your godmother was just joking with you. You can't bother your mom, you have to be good. From now on, we'll be good babies and try to be even better than your sister."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue was finally satisfied.
The three chatted and laughed, and soon it was time for the groom to come and pick them up. Although their wedding ceremony was a bit simplified, it was still very lively.
Doctors like them usually interact with many people, so it wouldn't be appropriate to invite one person to dinner without inviting another, which is why there were many people coming together.
Fortunately, the canteen of this military hospital often hosts such banquets, so the couple's wedding was lively but not too ostentatious.
The food was all prepared according to the standard, and a lot of wedding candies were given out. Many doctors, nurses and patients who came to the cafeteria could give one or two candies, so that everyone could share in the joy.
After the meal, the wedding was considered complete.
Qiu Jiawen naturally moved into Hua Shilei's dormitory.
Zhao Shuyi had visited the dormitory before; it wasn't large, but Hua Shilei had kept it very clean.
The room contains a bed, a desk, a dining table, and a wardrobe.
The other party clearly has a meticulous personality; the divisions and everything else were arranged exceptionally well.
The only inconvenience of living in this dormitory is that there is no private kitchen. They have to cook with other family members in a communal kitchen, which is very crowded.
If everyone cooks together, they could practically fight inside.
However, Zhao Shuyi had already discussed it with them and told them to come to Dr. Tan's place to eat after get off work. Whether it was cooking for one person or four or five people, it was still cooking, so Zhao Shuyi didn't mind the trouble.
Qiu Jiawen would also come to help, so everyone agreed. After all, they were already so familiar with each other, and they would be going to Beijing after the New Year, so they wouldn't have many more opportunities to eat together.
Qiu Jiawen had experienced hardship, and she didn't think Hua Shilei's house was that bad.
She quietly told Zhao Shuyi that she actually felt settled, at least she had a home of her own.
Before, she often felt like an outsider at home, but now she feels like a leaf floating in the air has found its roots.
Her only worry now is that Hua Shilei's family might not like her or look down on her.
However, after what happened in the past, she came to realize that people should think more about themselves.
If the other party doesn't like her and Hua Shilei doesn't stand by her side, then she will focus on her work; at least she still has her teacher.
If their family doesn't like her, but Hua Shilei is on her side, then she can try her best to mediate.
Life is always full of ups and downs, and she can understand that.
Zhao Shuyi, however, felt that things might not be as bad as Qiu Jiawen thought.
Judging from Hua Shilei's character, he must have had a good upbringing.
This doesn't necessarily mean that his family is good. For example, Qiu Jiawen is very well-mannered, but his family situation is not ideal.
But since Hua Shilei is a decent person and he said his family is good, he probably has no reason to lie, so Zhao Shuyi will believe him for now.
However, Zhao Shuyi was still very happy that Qiu Jiawen was able to think about this matter so clearly.
Logically speaking, Qiu Jiawen and Hua Shilei are currently deeply in love, and she shouldn't be thinking about these future possibilities.
But she not only thought about it, she thought about it very clearly, which was something Zhao Shuyi hadn't expected, and it was far from Zhao Shuyi's previous assumption that she was a love-obsessed person.
I was worried that she would ruin herself because of her obsession with love, so I urged her to get married early. But I never expected that after she got married, she would stop being so obsessed with love.
When Zhao Shuyi told Gu Yan about these things, Gu Yan just smiled and looked at her without saying a word, looking rather silly.
Zhao Shuyi gave him a slightly annoyed look: "Speak up, don't just stare at me like an idiot, it makes us both look like fools."
Gu Yan smiled and said, "What do you want me to say?"
"You always ask me, 'You're so stupid.'"
He said in a serious tone, "I'm also a hopeless romantic."
"Pfft, why are you making me laugh? You're so annoying!"
While they were outside, Zhao Shuyi and Gu Yan did not engage in any overly intimate behavior, but both of them had smiles on their faces.
In fact, Zhao Shuyi could understand Qiu Jiawen's words very well. She used to be like Qiu Jiawen, living in that family and feeling like she had nothing to do with it. Every day when she came home and saw the family happy, Zhao Shuyi even doubted whether she was their biological child.
Even now, Zhao Shuyi still has doubts, but she no longer has the chance to verify them.
However, this matter is not so important to her anymore, as she now has a home of her own.
Gu Yan's sweet words touched her heart, but Zhao Shuyi knew it wasn't just because his words sounded nice, but because she could feel Gu Yan's sincerity.
Gu Yan is actually quite innocent; she believes that no matter who he is with, he will treat them seriously.
After Qiu Jiawen got married, Zhao Shuyi was still worried that the Qiu family, the Deng family, or Li Aiyun would cause trouble, after all, they had a criminal record.
Fortunately, her worst fears were not realized, and the day passed peacefully.
Qiu Jiawen got married, so she was bound to be teased.
For the next few days, Zhang Yue kept teasing her and Dr. Hua. Qiu Jiawen felt very embarrassed, so she simply stopped coming back and went out to spend the holiday with her husband, Dr. Hua.
Zhang Yue thought it was extremely fun!
"Dr. Qiu is really something. She finally got married and had a honeymoon, and she still wants to come here to study. Is this the time for studying? Of course not! This is the time to implement the baby-making plan! We're both heavily pregnant, how can we let her be a career woman who only knows how to work?"
Zhao Shuyi really didn't know that Zhang Yue had this idea; she thought Zhang Yue really loved to tease others.
"You're really going too far. Have you forgotten who protected you when you had an upset stomach before?"
Zhang Yue had an upset stomach, and everyone helped her find a solution, especially Qiu Jiawen, who not only found various traditional remedies for her but also brewed nourishing soups and teas for her, taking good care of her.
Zhang Yue also clearly likes Qiu Jiawen very much.
"Of course I know that Dr. Qiu is the best to me, so isn't this also creating opportunities for her?"
"She and Dr. Hua are both too busy. And look how good Dr. Hua is to her. Even though he's busy, he often cooks her delicious food and drinks and comes over to her. But all she does is study, just like you and Dr. Tan."
"How can their relationship improve quickly if she acts like this? This is the time to nurture their feelings."
Zhao Shuyi agreed with her statement.
Qiu Jiawen was a bit too tense, but it wasn't because she felt inferior in front of Dr. Hua. Perhaps that was part of it, but she had always been a very competitive person.
If you suddenly let someone who is used to working hard stop, they will probably feel very uncomfortable. Qiu Jiawen is a case in point.
However, since she now has Dr. Hua by her side, Zhao Shuyi isn't too worried.
Dr. Hua doesn't seem to talk much and is rather aloof, but you can tell from his attitude towards Qiu Jiawen's friends that he is a person with exceptional emotional intelligence.
With him around, there shouldn't be any problems.
At that time, Qiu Jiawen really didn't have time to think about studying.
Although she and Hua Shilei haven't known each other for very long, it's not exactly a short time either.
Compared to the days when many people meet once or have a meal and then get engaged and married within a few days, their wedding preparations took quite a long time.
She knew this was Hua Shilei's way of showing her respect; Hua Shilei had always treated her well.
Because of Deng Wei's situation, she wasn't particularly warm towards Hua Shilei.
But the other person was very good at talking, and would always comfort, console, and accompany her when she was at a loss or confused.
Qiu Jiawen felt that even if she and he did not become partners, they could still be good teachers and helpful friends.
However, after Qiu Jiawen discovered Hua Shilei's enthusiasm for her, she was unsure how to respond to his warmth.
Even though they are already married and have the closest relationship.
That's why Qiu Jiawen wanted to go back to study just two days after her wedding. Even Dr. Tan told her to rest for a few days and not to overwork herself.
That's Dr. Tan, you know. Normally, Dr. Tan wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
She always listened to her teachers, so when Dr. Tan asked her to come back, she did.
When Qiu Jiawen saw her return, Hua Shilei's expression made her feel guilty. He looked like a husband waiting for his wife to return from afar, while she was the wife who was having a good time away from home.
So when the other party suggested going out for a walk, Qiu Jiawen agreed without hesitation.
This was the first time Qiu Jiawen had ever strolled around Kunming so leisurely, with her husband by her side; it was a truly wonderful feeling.
After walking for a while, Hua Shilei suddenly stopped.
Qiu Jiawen looked at him with some confusion. "What's wrong?" She touched her face and then her braid. "Is there something wrong with me?"
Seeing her like this, Hua Shilei's expression softened a bit.
He said, "No, I just wanted to ask why you've been staring at me like that?"
Qiu Jiawen was taken aback by the question, and then her face flushed.
She had indeed been glancing at Hua Shilei from time to time because of her guilt, but she didn't expect Hua Shilei to point it out.
Just as Qiu Jiawen was feeling embarrassed and annoyed, Hua Shilei suddenly leaned close to her and whispered, "When you stare at me like that, I really want to kiss you."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Jiawen's eyes widened as she stared at Hua Shilei in surprise.
How could he say such a thing in broad daylight?
But seeing his ambiguous smile reminded Qiu Jiawen of what had happened the night before, and her face turned bright red, the blush spreading from her face to her ears and neck.
Qiu Jiawen was about to be serious and reason with him to stop his frivolous behavior when she suddenly heard someone shout from behind: "What are you doing?"
She turned her head, and Hua Shilei was already blocking her way.
Qiu Jiawen peeked out and discovered that the people who had made the noise were actually several young people wearing red armbands.
To her surprise, Li Aiyun was among them.
When Li Aiyun saw her, she had a strange smile on her face, a smile that made Qiu Jiawen very uncomfortable.
"We meet again, Jiawen. You're a doctor, you should know about propriety and shame. How can you learn from those improper people and have casual relationships with men outside?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Jiawen frowned, her heart beginning to pound.
She had heard that these people outside would falsely accuse people, arrest them, and even shave their heads and parade them through the streets.
Why was Li Aiyun among these people, wearing a red armband, and why did they want to harm her?
Qiu Jiawen didn't really care about any of that. What she cared about was that they had seen her and Hua Shilei's behavior earlier, and perhaps they had really caught them red-handed.
Her heart sank, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
In Li Aiyun's eyes, this meant she was guilty.
Li Aiyun became even more smug and was about to have the two of them return to the committee when Hua Shilei spoke up in a cold voice.
"What do you mean by 'having affairs'? Do you have any evidence?"
His voice was cold and sharp, and the moment he spoke, the young men felt a chill run down their spines.
Everyone looks to be about the same age.
This greatly angered the group of people who had been swaggering around outside these past few days.
"You two are not related, yet you two are being intimate in public. What is that if not promiscuous behavior?" A young man next to Li Aiyun said defiantly, seemingly determined to condemn them.
Li Aiyun chimed in, "Yeah, Jiawen, have you forgotten? You have a boyfriend named Deng Wei. You're cheating on him with other men. What else would you call that but messing around with your partner?"
Hearing this, Qiu Jiawen smiled.
Even though Deng Weiren is no longer here, she can still use him as a weapon; she's really something.
Qiu Jiawen's reaction did nothing to diminish Li Aiyun's smugness; she wanted to see what kind of explanation Qiu Jiawen would give today.
Whether she and Deng Wei are dating or not is up to them to decide.
With those red armbands on, no matter who it is, even if it's an official, they'll have to listen to them. How could she be afraid of these two doctors?
Qiu Jiawen said, "I remember telling you that I was getting married."
But Li Aiyun didn't acknowledge it at all.
When did you tell me that?
"Oh, you told me before that you planned to marry Deng Wei, but wasn't he arrested? This person isn't Deng Wei, is he?"
She pointed at Hua Shilei, her eyes filled with resentment.
This is Hua Shilei; all the nurses who came for training back then liked to sneak peeks at him.
Li Aiyun was certainly moved, and even tried to strike up a conversation with him, but he didn't even give her a second glance.
But she never expected that Hua Shilei would actually marry Qiu Jiawen.
On what grounds?
Qiu Jiawen has lost her parents and has such a bad reputation, how could she still find a man like this?
Once she catches him and brings him back, she can coax him a bit more, and maybe he'll fall for it just like that idiot Deng Wei.
However, the two people who were expected to panic were surprisingly calm.
Hua Shilei chuckled softly, and his smile, identical to Qiu Jiawen's, was glaringly obvious to Li Aiyun.
"You can still laugh? Her boyfriend is Deng Wei, and you're having an affair with her. Come with us."
The smile had vanished from Li Aiyun's face, replaced by a fierceness that didn't match her features.
To everyone's surprise, Hua Shilei said, "I am indeed not Deng Wei. Let me introduce myself to you."
His tone was slightly mocking. "My name is Hua Shilei, I am a doctor at Chuncheng Military Region Hospital, and I am also Qiu Jiawen's legal husband. So I would like to ask you, my wife and I only exchanged a few words in the park, we didn't even touch hands, so how can it be called having an affair?"
"You have to give me an explanation today, or don't blame me for going to your superiors."
Upon hearing this, the young men all looked at Li Aiyun. Clearly, Li Aiyun was the one who orchestrated this incident.
She glared at him and snapped, "You're talking nonsense! You weren't married at all! You can't just say you were married and call it that! Show me the proof!"
Li Aiyun knew they had no evidence at all.
Qiu Jiawen never expected that Li Aiyun would come here to cause trouble for her. The other party was clearly determined to get what she wanted, and she didn't know how to communicate with her normally.
I doubt she would believe me even if I told her the truth about our wedding date; it would probably end up at the hospital.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Hua Shilei rummage in his coat pocket, pull out a wallet, and then take out a folded piece of paper from the wallet and hand it to Li Aiyun.
"Miss, take a good look. This is my marriage certificate with Comrade Qiu Jiawen. Can you read? Would you like me to read it to you?"
Qiu Jiawen was shocked, Li Aiyun was shocked, and all the young people who came were shocked.
Isn't it said that they're just having casual relationships? How come they even have a marriage certificate?
Li Aiyun glared angrily at Qiu Jiawen.
"You lied to me! You clearly said you were getting married next Monday, and you even invited me to your wedding banquet."
Is this what they call getting married next Monday? The marriage certificate has already been issued!
She truly didn't expect Qiu Jiawen to lie to her.
Li Aiyun has been making preparations ever since she learned that Qiu Jiawen is getting married next Monday.
She knew that getting married would definitely require going out to buy things, so for the past few days she had been waiting near the military hospital's family compound, hoping to run into her and then tell her that they were having an affair.
She had already planned it all out: if she couldn't catch them, she would wait until their wedding day and cause a scene at the entrance of the family compound, making sure Qiu Jiawen's wedding was unforgettable.
Li Aiyun had just brought her people here today when she ran into the two of them, and she thought it was just good luck.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were already married and had even obtained their marriage certificate.
She told Qiu Jiawen so much that day, but Qiu Jiawen didn't believe her at all.
She was actually wary of me!
Seeing Li Aiyun's incredulous expression, Qiu Jiawen really wanted to laugh.
Fortunately, she had listened to Zhao Shuyi's advice early on and knew that Li Aiyun was not a good person and might very well do something bad to her.
Zhao Shuyi had always told her to be careful when interacting with Li Aiyun.
So when she came to apologize, Qiu Jiawen held back a little when the topic of marriage came up.
If Li Aiyun had any sense, she wouldn't have thought that he genuinely wanted to invite her to his wedding banquet.
Does she think I'm stupid? After being hurt like this, how can I still consider her a friend?
Regardless of the circumstances, it's clear that in Li Aiyun's eyes, Qiu Jiawen is a simpleton who specifically sought out such a method to harm her.
For a moment, Qiu Jiawen didn't know what to say to her, and only said lightly, "Li Aiyun, you are really wicked, both stupid and evil!"
These words were an insult to Li Aiyun.
Li Aiyun was furious. She shouted, "What are you all standing there for? They're having an affair! Arrest them right now!"
Everyone was shocked. They had already produced their marriage certificate, how could she still distort the truth?
"Maybe we should just forget about it, they're already married," one of the young men advised.
To everyone's surprise, Li Aiyun wouldn't let them off the hook, saying, "So what if you're married? Does being married mean you can just hug and kiss anyone outside? Arrest them!"
"Let's see who dares!" Hua Shilei stepped forward, staring coldly at them.
He was in the same posture as before, but his gaze alone made the young men wearing red armbands tremble with fear.
"Li Aiyun, they're already married, what are you making a scene for? They're from the military hospital, are you out of your mind?"
Upon hearing this, Li Aiyun seemed to wake from a dream.
She knew that the people at the military hospital were extremely protective of their own, and even if Qiu Jiawen really did have an affair here today, if the hospital wanted to protect her, there was nothing they could do.
All she really wanted was to drag Qiu Jiawen back and bully her to vent her anger.
I just didn't expect that even such a small idea couldn't be realized.
"What, aren't you leaving yet? Or maybe I should go sit in your committee for a bit."
Hearing this, everyone who had some reservations about them now gave up.
They originally thought that since the person had been captured and brought back, it would be a merit for them, and they might even receive benefits from their families.
But this was the first time they had heard of someone wanting to voluntarily sit down at the committee.
But because he said that, no one dared to take him away, and they became even more wary of him.
"Let's go, Li Aiyun, if you don't want to work here, then get out. Don't drag us down!"
Li Aiyun was yelled at, and finally lost her arrogant attitude.
However, when he looked at Qiu Jiawen and Hua Shilei, there was still resentment in his eyes.
Then she saw Hua Shilei's icy gaze, and she quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer.
Li Aiyun also realized that Hua Shilei was probably someone she couldn't afford to offend.
They were already married, and his best chance was gone.
Even if she was resentful, there was nothing she could do. From now on, she and Qiu Jiawen could only go their separate ways.
She and Qiu Jiawen were no longer on the same level; in the end, she lost.
However, she thought that was the end of it, which shows how naive she was! Of course, that's another story.
The group arrived in a haughty manner, but left in a dejected manner.
After they left, Hua Shilei looked at Qiu Jiawen with some anxiety, "How are you? Are you alright? Were you scared?"
Qiu Jiawen shook her head. "It's alright. I knew she might come looking for trouble, so I took precautions. I didn't expect her to actually come, and I certainly didn't expect it to happen this way. I'm sorry I dragged you into this."
Hua Shilei curled his lips and said, "Do we really need to be so polite with each other? You handled it very well."
His gaze was naked and ambiguous, reminding Qiu Jiawen of the words he had just whispered in her ear.
Qiu Jiawen frowned and said, "You're not allowed to say things like that to me outside anymore. Be serious!"
Seeing her puffed-up cheeks, Hua Shilei's eyes and brows were full of smiles, and he replied, "Okay."
Before Qiu Jiawen could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him say again, "I'll save these words for when I get home."
Qiu Jiawen's eyes widened again.
Why is he like this?
That's outrageous!
You are not allowed to tell, and you are not allowed to tell when you get back!
Hua Shilei feigned surprise: "Can't we tell you when we get back? Can we tell you when we go to bed at night?"
Qiu Jiawen was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost jumping up.
"I told you not to say it! If we run into them again, we'll be in trouble again. Don't say it, not ever!"
Hua Shilei successfully angered his wife, Qiu Jiawen, and only after they returned to the family compound did she agree to reconcile with him.
This was because they were worried that if Zhao Shuyi and the others found out, they would be misunderstood.
Hua Shilei also solemnly apologized to her at this moment: "If there are other people around in the future, I will definitely not talk nonsense. I was wrong just now."
Qiu Jiawen didn't want to talk to him anymore, which meant that he would still do it when no one was around.
So, before entering Dr. Tan's courtyard, Dr. Hua was glared at by his wife again.
He finally understood the joy that Deputy Regiment Commander Gu and his comrades were experiencing.
Zhao Shuyi and Zhang Yue were still inside discussing the picture book they were drawing for the baby when Qiu Jiawen returned.
Zhang Yue was very dissatisfied with this: "I went to great lengths to create this opportunity, how come Dr. Hua didn't seize it and released the person so quickly?"
Zhao Shuyi, however, keenly sensed that Qiu Jiawen's mood was slightly off, and she asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen when you went out?"
Qiu Jiawen, of course, didn't mention the little thing between herself and Dr. Hua. She was too embarrassed to be so shameless.
Then she brought up the matter of Li Aiyun joining the committee and causing trouble for her and Dr. Hua!
Hearing this, Zhang Yue slammed her hand on the table in anger: "I've heard you talk about this person several times already. How can he be so annoying? Can't stand seeing others do well? What did Dr. Hua say? Did he just stand by and watch? Didn't he say he'd teach that person a lesson?"
"He scared the person away." Qiu Jiawen looked at Hua Shilei and felt that the other party might go to cause trouble for Li Aiyun, but it shouldn't be so soon. She didn't have time to say what she had said about the little argument with him earlier.
Qiu Jiawen didn't want him to interfere. They were leaving soon, and there was no need to cause trouble at this time. Given Li Aiyun's personality, she wouldn't stay on the committee for long.
After hearing Qiu Jiawen recount the whole story, Zhao Shuyi was also extremely shocked.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily you were quick-witted and didn't actually tell her the date of your wedding beforehand, otherwise, given her personality, she probably would have made a scene at your wedding."
That would be so unlucky!
Qiu Jiawen sighed, "To be honest, I really didn't expect her to cause trouble for me. I just didn't want her to attend my wedding. It was Shuyi who told me to be careful around her. Thank you, you helped me."
Zhao Shuyi was a little confused by her sudden formal thanks. "We're good friends, so I definitely had to remind you of this. But I just had a gut feeling that she was a bit difficult to get along with, I didn't expect her to do something like this."
Zhang Yue seemed to have encountered similar situations before. She said indignantly, "Some people are just like that; they can go crazy for no reason. Let's not take them to heart. However, while we shouldn't be malicious, we should be wary of others. Knowing that she's this kind of person, Sister Jiawen, you'd better be careful. She might suddenly appear at any time."
Zhao Shuyi nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. You should all be careful before you leave Chuncheng, and let's try to stay in the hospital as little as possible."
Things aren't peaceful outside right now, and if you mess with the committee, things will only get worse. Anyway, their residential compound and hospital are quite lively, and there's really nothing fun to do outside.
"If you're bored, we can go hiking."
Zhang Yue looked at Zhao Shuyi with a hint of annoyance: "Sister Shuyi, do you think our bellies are big enough for mountain climbing?"
Zhao Shuyi laughed, "I think I can do it."
Zhang Yue lamented indignantly, "Why is it that everyone has to give birth? Why can't I have a well-behaved baby? I want a well-behaved baby too!" She wailed dejectedly.
Zhao Shuyi smiled and comforted her, "Then after you give birth and have a proper postpartum period, rest for a while, and then let He Xu try harder to have another baby."
Judging from Zhang Yue's demeanor, she didn't think Zhang Yue would show favoritism. Besides, Zhang Yue had older brothers and sisters, and she seemed quite happy, so her family members probably didn't have any issues with that. And since He Xu listened to her in everything, there was even less to worry about. Having another child wouldn't be a problem; people these days like to have as many children as they want.
It was just a joke, but Zhang Yue looked thoughtful, as if she really intended to have a child.
Their conversation smoothly shifted from Li Aiyun to the children. Now that Qiu Jiawen was also married, they spoke even more freely. However, newlywed brides are always a little embarrassed about such things.
The more embarrassed she was, the more Zhang Yue made people laugh, which was especially funny.
When Gu Yan returned, everyone was still chatting happily inside. As soon as he came back, he glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "I've come to pick you up. Hurry up and go back."
Zhang Yue was in a good mood today and kept laughing. "Deputy Regiment Commander Gu really doesn't want to see me for even a day longer. I'll fight him for his wife."
This made everyone laugh.
"Sister Shuyi, come with me to the family compound! Sleep next to me tonight, let Deputy Regiment Commander Gu enjoy the pleasure of being alone in an empty room."
Zhang Yue knew perfectly well what Gu Yan didn't want to hear, but she still insisted on saying it.
In the end, he offended Gu Yan, and He Xu also received a few glares before leaving.
As Zhao Shuyi walked out of the courtyard, she overheard He Xu saying to Zhang Yue, "Luckily, things aren't like before, otherwise Deputy Regiment Commander Gu would definitely have trained me to death."
Zhang Yue said, "He wouldn't dare. If he dares to target you, I'll kidnap his wife and have her live with me."
"And what about me?" He Xu asked.
"You, you should go and fight him. You can only go home if you win."
Listening to the two chatting and laughing, Zhao Shuyi felt that a warm family like theirs was just missing a mischievous child.
She couldn't wait to see Zhang Yue discipline the unruly child.
Zhao Shuyi subconsciously touched her belly, hoping that the little one inside her was a good baby and wouldn't bother her parents.
Seeing her touch her stomach, Gu Yan immediately became nervous. "What's wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable? Do you need to rest? Let Dr. Tan take a look."
Before Zhao Shuyi could even speak, he had already made all the arrangements.
"No need, I'm not feeling unwell. I'm just saying hello to the baby. Come on, Daddy will say hello to the baby too."
Gu Yan loved hearing such words, so he leaned close to Zhao Shuyi's stomach and talked for a long time before stopping, making Zhao Shuyi sleepy.
During their usual late-night chat before bed, Zhao Shuyi told Gu Yan about what Qiu Jiawen and the others had encountered that day.
She said, "Could you help me investigate this Li Aiyun? Isn't she involved in Deng Wei's affairs?"
They came here specifically to disgust Qiu Jiawen; that's just too disgusting.
There were also things in the book that Zhao Shuyi couldn't tell Gu Yan, but that didn't stop Zhao Shuyi from being angry.
Seeing that she was angry, Gu Yan quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, don't upset the baby."
“You only love the baby, not me.” Zhao Shuyi said this as if it were a catchy rhyme.
Gu Yan has even developed an automatic reply function. "I love my mom the most, and my baby is second only to me."
Zhao Shuyi was amused by him and instantly stopped being angry. She said, "Then Daddy should go and help Mommy and Baby get revenge. Those people are really too much! How dare they upset Baby's mommy! Daddy must help get revenge!"
But Gu Yan said, "I don't need to help you get revenge. He bullied Qiu Jiawen like that. If Hua Shilei doesn't do anything, is he even a man?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuyi's eyes lit up: "So, Dr. Hua will make a move?"
Gu Yan nodded firmly: "His concern for Dr. Qiu is probably much greater than you think."
Hearing Gu Yan say this, Zhao Shuyi felt a little relieved: "Now Qiu Jiawen only has him left. If he doesn't care, I can't imagine how sad Qiu Jiawen would be. He's a good man."
Seeing Gu Yan's expression, Zhao Shuyi said with a smile, "Of course our Deputy Regiment Commander Gu is a good man, a super good man, much better than any Dr. Hua."
Zhao Shuyi was so enthusiastic, so Gu Yan naturally had to respond even more enthusiastically. And so, that evening, Zhao Shuyi's hands suffered again and again and again.
She was in a better mood the next morning. Since someone else was taking care of the bad guys, she didn't have to worry about it, and naturally she was happy.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue had the same idea as her.
He Xu had just dropped her off, and before she could even sit down properly, she started discussing with Zhao Shuyi whether they could find a way to deal with Li Aiyun.
Qiu Jiawen came in just in time to hear this and was shocked: "You don't need to bother. We're going back to Beijing soon anyway, and we won't see each other again. There's no need to hold a grudge against her. Besides, she's too scheming and won't stay on the committee for long."
Zhao Shuyi also said, "We don't need to help Jiawen get revenge; Dr. Hua will take care of it."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Jiawen was shocked and asked, "Dr. Hua took action? What action did he take?"
This question stumped Zhao Shuyi. Didn't Qiu Jiawen know this?
She covered her mouth and asked, "Did I talk too much?"
It's true what they say, pregnancy makes you stupid for three years.
Her appearance made Qiu Jiawen and the other person laugh.
Since she had already let it slip, Zhao Shuyi saw no need to hide it anymore.
So she told Qiu Jiawen what Gu Yan had told her, which was actually Dr. Hua inquiring about Li Aiyun's situation from Gu Yan.
Gu Yan actually knew some things about Li Aiyun. Because Zhao Shuyi was quite interested, Gu Yan inquired about her for her.
But the situation she learned from Gu Yan wasn't particularly good.
