I remember him.
Shortly after their marriage, Sun Yang spoke with Shi Wan on the phone, relaying Si Kong Jingyu's message: warning Shi Wan to be mindful of her private life during the marriage and not to bring shame upon the Si Kong family.
At that time, Sun Yang still addressed Shi Wan as "Young Madam".
Even though they are not divorced yet, Shi Wan is already Miss Shi, no longer the young mistress.
Shi Wan laughed self-deprecatingly.
Her gaze darkened, and Shi Wan calmly said, "Okay, 8:30 tonight, I'll be waiting."
On her way home from get off work, Shi ran into Lin Yuanyuan, who was also leaving get off work. Lin Yuanyuan teased, "Dr. Shi, you're in such a hurry, is your dear husband back?"
The guess was correct, but it wasn't her beloved husband; it was the husband who came back to divorce her.
Shi Wan didn't refute it. It was Shi Wan who released the news of the marriage in the first place. In order to avoid trouble, now the whole hospital knows that Shi Wan is married, which has indeed saved a lot of trouble in male-female relationships.
Shi Wan smiled and asked, "How did you know?"
Speaking of her insightful observations, Lin Yuanyuan was quite confident, offering reasoned arguments: "Dr. Shi, you always arrive at the department early, but this morning you unusually arrived on time, and now you're leaving on time again, and..."
Lin Yuanyuan paused, looking somewhat embarrassed to speak.
Lin Yuanyuan is usually very outgoing, but she can be shy sometimes. Shi Wan smiled gently and asked, "Hmm? Anything else?"
Lin Yuanyuan leaned close to Shi Wan's ear and whispered, "Dr. Shi, you have a hickey on the back of your neck."
Lin Yuanyuan covered her mouth and chuckled, her expression ambiguous. That was a special position... only that could produce a hickey.
Shi Wan: "..."
Having worked for over four years, Shi Wan has learned how to control her emotions. However, no matter how composed she is, a blush inevitably rises on her cheeks when this topic comes up.
I already used concealer to cover the marks on my neck this morning, but I didn't expect there to be more on the back of my neck...
Today, Shi Wan has been going in and out of the department all day. I don't know how many people have seen her. It's not a big deal if her colleagues see her. At most, they'll tease her and her husband whom she has never met. But if the patients see her, wouldn't they think that Shi Wan is not mature enough? Who would dare to come to her for treatment in the future?
Thinking of this, Shi Wan, who was always cheerful, broke down gently, feeling extremely annoyed. They were about to get a divorce, and Sikong Jingyu had still managed to cause her trouble!
At that moment, Shi Wan secretly resolved that after the divorce, she must stay far away from Sikong Jingyu!
Seeing Shi Wan's shy demeanor, Lin Yuanyuan smiled and comforted her, "Dr. Shi, there's no need to be shy. It's only natural. See you tomorrow, my colleague."
Shi Wan wasn't shy at all; she was clearly embarrassed!
"See you tomorrow."
Shi Wan raised the corners of her lips, waved, and watched Lin Yuanyuan leave.
Just as Shi Wan left the hospital, her phone rang. When she answered, Shi Yu's breathless voice came through: "Big Bowl, are you in the hospital? I've been vomiting all day, and my stomach hurts terribly. Can you prescribe some medicine to calm me down?"
With the cause of her illness unknown, how could she take painkillers indiscriminately? Hearing Shi Yu's weak voice, Shi Wan frowned: "Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
"No need, I'm already at your hospital entrance."
"Stand at the door and don't move, I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone, Shi Wan ran back to the hospital.
From afar, Shi Wan saw Shi Yu slumped against a pillar, one hand clutching her stomach, her face pale, and fine beads of sweat beading on her forehead.
Seeing Shi Yu's appearance, Shi Wan had a bad feeling and quickened her pace to run towards him.
Upon examination, it was diagnosed as acute appendicitis.
"Senior, could you please help arrange the surgery?" Shi Wan said to Xiao En, the attending physician of general surgery.
Sean nodded: "I'll arrange it right away."
"Thank you, senior brother," Shi Wan said gratefully.
“There’s no need for such formalities between us. Besides, once you’re in general surgery, it’s like you’re back home.” Sean smiled gently and left the ward.
Shi Wan is a steady and low-key person who doesn't show off. She is actually quite popular in the hospital. In addition, she often comes to help out, so the general surgery medical staff are quite familiar with her.
All the formalities were completed quickly.
Shi Yu lay on the hospital bed. He had barely eaten anything since morning and had been vomiting all day. He looked exhausted and his eyes were lifeless. He looked at Shi Wan with a worried expression: "Big Wan, I can't have the surgery."
Shi Wan frowned and earnestly advised, "Xiao Yu, acute appendicitis requires timely surgery. If you delay, it will perforate and your life will be in danger. Don't be afraid, I will go with you during the surgery."
Shi Yu shook her head, her fingers gripping the blanket tightly, her voice pleading yet tinged with resentment: "Can we have the surgery tomorrow? I have a deal to close tonight. I've been working on this deal for almost a month straight without sleep, and it even gave me appendicitis. I made a bet with another department head in front of the higher-ups: whoever closes the deal tonight will be promoted to manager, and whoever doesn't will be fired."
“But your condition can’t be delayed,” Shi Wan insisted.
"Big Bowl... You've worked so hard and struggled for so many years, you don't want to see me go back to square one overnight, do you?" Shi Yu said, her eyes filled with resentment.
“Even if you lose your job, I can support you,” Shi Wan said.
Shi Yu grabbed Shi Wan's hand: "But Da Wan, we finally made it this far. I don't want to live the same old life again, feeling dejected and uneasy. I want to be your support. I don't want anyone to look down on you anymore."
"Do we really have to go?" Shi Wan finally relented.
Shi Yu nodded: "Absolutely, and victory is not an option!"
Shi Wan looked at Shi Yu and finally relented, sighing, "Let's have the surgery first. Tonight... I'll go in your place."
"But the big bowl..." Shi Yu's words trailed off. He had considered this possibility earlier; if it were any other ordinary event, it would be fine, but this time was different...
"...The other party is the Sikong Group. I don't want to...make things difficult for you. If I ask you to go in my place, would I still be human?" Sikong Jingyu already looked down on Dawan. If Dawan went to Sikong Jingyu again because of the project, wouldn't Sikong Jingyu look down on Dawan even more?
All these years, Shi Yu has worked so hard because she wanted to become Shi Wan's support, so that Si Kong Jing Yu would no longer look down on Shi Wan.
Upon hearing the name Sikong Group, Shi Wan was momentarily dazed.
After a moment, Shi Wan gave a soft "Mmm": "Okay, I understand."
Although I had my concerns, I knew in my heart what was more important as the night wore on.
In the years since their marriage, Shi Wan has rarely appeared in public, let alone visited the company. People in the Sikong Group only know that Mrs. Sikong is named Shi Wan, but who Shi Wan is is probably unknown to most. As long as she doesn't reveal her identity, there shouldn't be any trouble.
“But I heard that Sikong Jingyu has returned to the country… What if you run into him and he takes the opportunity to humiliate you?” Shi Yu was still worried.
