Cheng Ran was staying in a private room. The door was ajar, and before Fang Zheng could open it for her, she opened it herself and went in.
The doctor was examining him when someone suddenly burst in. He quickly covered himself with the blanket, his sharp gaze turning towards the door. The moment he saw Jiang Wanqing, his gaze softened.
"Commander, um..."
“I’ll explain to him, you go out.” Jiang Wanqing glanced at Fang Zheng. “Don’t worry.”
They kindly brought her to see Cheng Ran, so she certainly wouldn't betray him; otherwise, what kind of person would she be?
Cheng Ran wanted Jiang Wanqing to get angry, but when he met her worried eyes, he wilted.
"Commander Cheng, who is this...?"
The examination was suddenly interrupted, leaving the doctor puzzled. What kind of person could make the usually ruthless and authoritative Cheng Ran behave like a rabbit?
"My wife, her surname is Jiang, Dr. Huang, you can go out now."
"So she's Commander Cheng's wife, no wonder..."
Dr. Huang was initially angry because her work had been disrupted, but after hearing Cheng Ran's explanation, she couldn't stay angry anymore. She realized that the space really had to be given to the couple.
Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Wanqing suddenly asked him a polite question.
"Doctor, where is my husband injured? How is he recovering? Is it serious?"
"this……"
The doctor turned to look at Cheng Ran and suddenly felt sweat beading on his forehead. Should he reply or not? The injury was rather complicated, and it was difficult to discuss even with the family.
"Is it serious? Should we transfer to another hospital?"
Seeing the doctor's reaction, Jiang Wanqing immediately had a bad feeling, and the other party quickly waved his hand.
"No, no...you've misunderstood."
"Wanqing, come here. I need to tell you, can you let the doctor leave first?"
Cheng Ran's voice came from behind her. She turned around and glared at him. She hadn't settled the score with him for not telling her about his injury yet, so how could she let him get away with it!
"Uh... Comrade Jiang, your Commander Cheng's injury isn't life-threatening, but... it might affect your happy life for a long time. As for the rest... you can talk about it yourselves. I... I have other wards to check on, so I'll be going now."
After the doctor finished speaking hesitantly, he ran away as if fleeing. Jiang Wanqing frowned again and again. After the door closed, she walked to the bedside. Her luggage was still at the door. Fang was probably guarding her right now.
They looked at each other in silence. She sat down on the chair by the bed and casually pulled down a corner of the sheet.
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Commander Cheng, you choose one."
As she spoke, she observed his complexion. He wasn't pale, and his hands were fine. Her gaze gradually fell on his lower body, which was covered up completely, including his legs.
Cheng Ran pulled the blanket up a little, tugged at the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand to touch her.
"I'm really fine. I just accidentally hurt my leg, but it's not serious. The doctor said I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"Really?"
It was indeed a leg, but Jiang Wanqing still felt something was off, so she took advantage of his momentary lapse in attention and pulled back the blanket.
"Wanqing!"
He gasped in surprise, his brows furrowed, and he threw off the blanket, revealing himself completely.
She bit her lip, staring at his strong, muscular legs. There were indeed bandage marks, but his trousers... were loose and baggy. If she wasn't mistaken, the doctor had been examining him in a certain area when she came in...
“You’re not being honest! You’re still lying to me! Cheng Ran, I’m giving you three seconds. If you still don’t talk, I’m leaving right now! One…two…”
"Alright, alright..." Cheng Ran sighed resignedly, took out the examination report from the drawer next to him, and handed it to her. "Take a look for yourself. This injury... I'm sorry."
He was injured, so why was he apologizing to her? Jiang Wanqing unfolded the medical report with some skepticism. After reading the words on it, her expression changed repeatedly, and her fingertips trembled.
"You...how did you get hurt there?!"
With a functional injury and a pending treatment plan, she seemed to understand why he was avoiding her. He was afraid of losing face, and even more afraid that she would despise him.
Perhaps it touched a nerve with his pride. Just moments before, Cheng Ran had been relatively calm, but in an instant, he pulled the blanket over himself and turned his back to her.
"Go away, I want to be alone. If in the future... I really can't take it anymore, you take care of Nannan and live a good life. Everything I've saved up will be for you and the baby, as long as you don't leave me."
At this point, it's pointless to dwell on how he got injured. Missions are full of unexpected situations. Everyone was relieved that he wasn't killed, but only he knew that this kind of injury was worse than death.
Jiang Wanqing turned his body around, put down the examination report, and spoke softly but firmly.
“Look at me!” She put her hand on his shoulder. “Do you think I came here just for that kind of thing?”
"I'm not..."
"You almost lost your life back then, but you survived. You disappeared for two years afterward, and you still survived. What's this? It's not like there's no chance of recovery. I'll be here with you for a long time, and I'm sure I'll see you get better."
Her words sounded like she was coaxing a child, and Cheng Ran wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it. He took a deep breath and nodded in response.
"You must be hungry. I'll have Fang Zheng take you to eat."
He didn't want to continue the topic and wanted to calm down. However, after he finished speaking, Jiang Wanqing glanced at the door and hesitated for two seconds.
"I'm not hungry yet. Before we go out, I want to check your injury, just in case..."
Cheng Ran's eyes widened, and he pushed her hand away: "No need! Let's go back... let's talk about it when we get back."
The doctor checked him just now, and it's still the same. He didn't want to lose face in front of her, so he held onto the blanket tightly.
Jiang Wanqing looked at him seriously: "I'm not discussing this with you, let go!"
"Wife...please..." Cheng Ran changed his address, almost crying.
In the end, she softened and felt sorry for him, so she withdrew her hand.
"Okay then, we'll wait until you're discharged... I'll go get you some food first."
He watched her leave. After the door closed, Cheng Ran closed his eyes, looking somewhat dejected and lifeless.
For so many years, he and Jiang Wanqing have been separated most of the time, and the couple rarely have time to be together. Now that he is injured, if he cannot recover, will their relationship really not be in trouble?
After leaving the ward, Fang Zheng took Jiang Wanqing to the cafeteria to get food, and she took the initiative to ask questions.
"Your Commander Cheng is always very careful about himself, how did he get injured... there this time?"
"This..." Fang Zheng scratched his head, "Sister-in-law, Commander Cheng is a very good person. He was injured while saving someone. There was an obstacle at the time, and he was in a hurry to save people, so..."
"I see."
Not surprising, it was another rescue. He always values other people's lives more than his own, and he always takes the blame for any mistakes. Jiang Wanqing felt exhausted just thinking about him.
She went to the cafeteria and got a few light dishes before returning to the ward. He needed emotional support most right now, so she wanted to spend more time with him before she got too busy with work.
