Chapter 140 The truth of that year
"Mind Harbor" clinic.
It was time to get off work, but the lights in Lu Bingchen's office were still on.
Assistant Duoduo finished her work and knocked on the door. "Doctor Lu, aren't you leaving yet? I'm going to leave work first."
Lu Bingchen looked up from his computer screen and saw his assistant, who was rarely seen in full makeup. Knowing that today was her and her husband's wedding anniversary, he smiled and said, "Well, have a nice date. I'll lock the door myself."
"Thank you, Dr. Lu!"
Duoduo is happy to get off work.
Lu Bingchen's attention fell on the computer screen again, which showed the five versions of the yellow rose arrangement for the concert proposal venue sent by Wedding Kung Fu, as well as a preliminary draft of the process.
Lu Bingchen concentrated intently, imagining which outfit would be Xie Yiyi's favorite.
The phone suddenly vibrated, and Lu Bingchen picked it up. It was a takeaway call. "Is this Mr. Lu? Your takeaway has arrived at the front door of the clinic. Please come out and pick it up."
Lu Bingchen raised his eyebrows, "I didn't order takeout."
The other person said firmly, "It was delivered to the front desk of the clinic, Mr. Lu. It might be ordered by your girlfriend. Please come and pick it up. I have other orders that are about to expire."
"All right."
Lu Bingchen stood up, walked towards the office door, and soon came back with a Starbucks takeout bag.
When I opened it, there was a cup of hot vanilla latte and a chestnut-flavored bun inside.
Lu Bingchen looked at the order form and saw that it was indeed his clinic, but the phone number was hidden by the platform.
Lu Bingchen was very alert and put it aside directly. It didn't seem like it was ordered by Xie Yiyi.
Lu Bingchen took a sip of tea and sat in his office chair, happily continuing to work overtime on the arrangements for the day of the proposal.
"Dong Dong Dong"
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the office door.
Lu Bingchen looked up and his face turned cold when he saw Su Yuan at the door.
He held the mouse and saved the modified proposal process, his tone full of vigilance, "What are you doing here?"
Su Yuan's breathing tightened. The man's indifference and alienation were not concealed at all.
She looked to the side and saw the coffee without even a straw. A dark trace flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant...
"Bingchen, I know you don't want to see me."
Su Yuan smiled bitterly, knowing that he would not invite her in, and took the initiative to walk in.
"I came here to ask you for something."
Lu Bingchen frowned and remained silent.
Su Yuan just got pregnant, and the Lu family should grant her every request. What can she ask of him?
The next second, Su Yuan spoke, and Lu Bingchen seemed to have heard a bolt from the blue.
Su Yuan said aggrievedly: "I beg you to give me a child."
The man's eyes were filled with astonishment. He looked at Su Yuan who was approaching him step by step, and stood up from his office chair in fear. "Su Yuan, are you crazy?!"
"Aren't you already pregnant..."
"I'm not pregnant!"
Su Yuan's eyes were red and she interrupted him aggrievedly.
"I thought I was finally pregnant, but when I went to the hospital today, the doctor diagnosed me with a false pregnancy. He said I was under too much pressure and my body couldn't handle it, so I had morning sickness and other symptoms... Lu Zhizhang and I have been trying to conceive for over two months, but we haven't been able to. Everyone blames me, and your mom too, forcing me to take all sorts of disgusting Chinese medicines every day. Bingchen, I really can't take it anymore..."
Su Yuan's tears fell.
She is the kind of person that makes people want to protect her at first sight, and at this moment she is even more pitiful.
Lu Bingchen just frowned even more tightly.
He said coldly: "I can't help you, please leave."
"No, only you can help me!"
Su Yuan shook her head, tears forming parabolas in the air.
"Bingchen, do you know? I live in regret every day now. If I had not chosen your elder brother, but had unwaveringly chosen you, how happy would I be now?"
"Bingchen, I was wrong. I gave you to someone else with my own hands. I beg you, please help me this time. I swear, I won't let anyone know about this. I want to give birth to a child that belongs to us. From now on, I will definitely be good..."
"Shut up!"
Lu Bingchen interrupted her fantasy, his tone low, as if worried about being overheard, "Su Yuan, we will never have children, get out! If you don't leave, I'll have to call the security to drag you away!"
Lu Bingchen picked up the phone on his desk and prepared to contact the office building's security.
Su Yuan suddenly stepped forward and pulled out the power cord of the landline phone.
"Do you remember that you owe me a wish?"
"I saved your life. You said you would promise me no matter what and repay me!" Su Yuan's eyes were firm. "Now, I want you to fulfill your promise and do it with me until I get pregnant and have a child!"
Lu Bingchen's face turned pale and his breathing became stiff.
The grudges that he had buried for many years flashed through his mind.
That year, after he learned that Su Yuan had agreed to Lu Zhizhang's proposal, he spent a period of dark days.
take things too hard.
He even attempted suicide by cutting his wrists while drunk, hoping to end his life.
In the end, it was she who pulled him back.
He woke up in the afternoon of the next day in the hospital ward.
The nurse told him that he was almost in shock when he was sent to the hospital. She kept giving him first aid, stimulating his heart pulse, and even donated blood to him, which almost cost her life.
She also cried and said that she must save him and she was willing to draw any amount of blood.
I can never repay you for saving my life.
He made three wishes for Su Yuan, and he had to agree to whatever Su Yuan proposed.
The first thing Su Yuan mentioned, don’t resent her;
He said yes.
The second one Su Yuan mentioned was to respect her choice and attend her wedding with Lu Zhizhang;
He also said yes.
Eight years later, her final condition was to give her a child.
"Bingchen, you made the promise to me yourself, you have to keep your promise!"
"Bingchen, I promise, I just want a child, someone to rely on, and I won't bother you anymore..."
The temperature in Beijing was still low at the end of March. Su Yuan wore a beige, long, waist-hugging warm coat. She looked at Lu Bingchen tenderly and took the initiative to untie the bow of her coat.
The coat slowly fell off, revealing a thin, light-colored skirt underneath.
Fortunately, the heating in the office was on very high, so Su Yuan was not cold. She continued to reach out and pull down the lace collar, revealing her white shoulders.
Before she could reveal her shoulders, a stream of warm tea suddenly splashed on her face.
"That's enough, get out!"
Su Yuan froze.
Not only did she use the life-saving grace she had given him to coerce him, she even took the initiative. How could Lu Bingchen still reject her and tell her to get out?!
Su Yuan's heart ached, "Why!"
Lu Bingchen said with a cold face, "You risked your life to save me back then, and I owe you a wish, but I can't do it well in this matter. Su Yuan, you know very well that I am married, I have a wife, and loyalty is a man's best dowry."
Su Yuan staggered back a step, feeling more bitter in her heart.
Why did she choose Lu Zhizhang over Lu Bingchen? It was obvious that Lu Bingchen was a million times better than Lu Zhizhang!
If she had married Lu Bingchen, she would be so happy now...
Su Yuan pulled out a pocket fruit knife from somewhere, placed it against her fair wrist, and threatened with red eyes, "Bingchen, are you really not going to agree to me? If you don't agree to me, I will die in front of you. ... You know the situation of the Lu family. If I can't get pregnant, I will only suffer in the Lu family..."
The sharp blade pressed against Su Yuan's delicate skin, and blood quickly seeped out.
Su Yuan's hands began to tremble with pain, but Lu Bingchen at the desk didn't show any intention of stopping her.
She was filled with despair and roared, "Lu Bingchen, do you have any heart? Why would you rather watch me die than agree to this small request of mine? Don't forget, if I hadn't taken you to the hospital and given you a blood transfusion to save your life, you would have died eight years ago!"
"Your life is mine, why can't you be with me and let me have a child!"
Lu Bingchen had a cold face.
As a psychologist, he knew very well that Su Yuan was very emotional and might commit suicide if she wasn't careful.
Before he could think of the best way to deal with the situation, a hoarse and cold female voice came from the lounge behind the office.
"Miss Su, did you really save Lu Bingchen's life?"
Su Yuan was stunned. When she saw Xie Yiyi standing at the door of the lounge, her mind went blank.
She didn't expect that Xie Yiyi was actually in Lu Bingchen's lounge and heard all the conversations between her and Lu Bingchen.
Xie Yiyi looked at her coldly. She had caught a cold while fishing in the wild yesterday. Her cold had not yet healed, her head was stuffy and painful, and she couldn't control her cough.
Lu Bingchen immediately walked towards her and touched her forehead, which was still burning.
"I'm sorry, you go in and rest first, I can handle it."
Lu Bingchen whispered with guilt, intentionally protecting Xie Yiyi behind him. After all, Su Yuan had a sharp fruit knife in her hand.
Seeing that Lu Bingchen's brows were about to be twisted into a knot, Xie Yiyi pulled him behind her instead.
She woke up after Su Yuan entered the office. When she heard her ask Lu Bingchen to give her a child, she was furious and wanted to come out and slap this shameless bitch to death.
Unfortunately, the cold made her limbs weak and she was willing but unable to do anything.
But later, when Xie Yiyi heard Lu Bingchen say, "Loyalty is a man's best dowry," and that he remained unmoved by his "ex-girlfriend's" constant nagging, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she silently gave Lu Bingchen 5 points.
He is indeed the man she likes.
Later, the "life-saving grace" was mentioned again, and Xie Yiyi could no longer sit still.
"Miss Su, did you really save Lu Bingchen's life?"
Su Yuan's heart sank.
She really didn't expect Xie Yiyi to be in Lu Bingchen's lounge. She originally thought that after having sex with Lu Bingchen and having a child, given Lu Bingchen's character, he would definitely not really ignore her and her child in the future.
Even if the two of them never have the chance to get married in their lifetime, Lu Bingchen will always have a place for her in his heart.
She will never lose...
At this moment, meeting Xie Yiyi's cold gaze, Su Yuan's aggrieved eyes flashed with a hint of pride, "Of course, but Miss Xie, you were still young at that time, and you don't understand the deep gratitude between Bingchen and me."
Xie Yiyi raised an eyebrow and smiled, her voice sounding somewhat harmless due to her cold. "Oh, then Miss Su, can you tell me where you found out that Lu Bingchen had cut his wrists and sent him to the hospital?"
"I..." Su Yuan was speechless.
"Miss Su, you won't forget the scene of Lu Bingchen cutting his wrists in the bathroom, right?"
Su Yuan immediately took over and said, "Of course I didn't forget. I was just too nervous at the time and couldn't recall it for a moment. Xie Yiyi, what exactly do you want to say? I am Bingchen's savior. He promised me three wishes. Now I'm looking for him to fulfill them. Is it wrong of me?"
After Su Yuan finished speaking, she looked at Lu Bingchen with red eyes and grievance, "Bingchen, do you really not care about our old friendship? I can swear that I will never disturb you and Miss Xie in the future..."
Lu Bingchen's expression suddenly turned cold, and his tone was close to zero degrees. "It wasn't you who saved me back then."
Su Yuan's heart sank suddenly, and her eyes trembled, "Lu Bingchen, what do you mean? Now you deny it just to thank Yiyi!"
Xie Yiyi laughed in anger and coughed, covering her mouth. "Miss Su, is it possible that Lu Bingchen didn't cut his wrists in the bathtub back then?"
Su Yuan's face suddenly turned pale.
Indeed, it was not she who saved Lu Bingchen back then.
It was the next day when she needed to find Lu Bingchen for something. When she called him, the call was answered by a nurse from the hospital. Only then did she know that Lu Bingchen was seriously injured in the hospital.
In order to get rid of Lu Bingchen's entanglement and hold a smooth wedding with Lu Zhizhang, she bribed the medical staff and said that she saved him and that the blood transfusion cost him half his life, in order to make Lu Bingchen feel guilty.
But how could Xie Yiyi know all this?
Xie Yiyi took out his phone from his pocket and looked at Su Yuan coldly, "Su Yuan, last time in the clinic you forcefully kissed Lu Bingchen. I gave you one last chance. It was you who didn't want to live a peaceful life. You can't blame others."
"What's the meaning?"
Xie Yiyi used her finger to cancel the [Mute Voice] option on the screen, "Lu Zhizhang, did you hear every word your wife said?"
"Su Yuan, you bitch, I will not let you go!..." Lu Zhizhang's angry and dirty roar instantly reached Su Yuan's ears.
"Are you talking to Lu Zhizhang?!" Su Yuan's back stiffened, and she felt like she was falling into an icy cave. "Bitch, I want to die with you!"
She held a fruit knife and rushed towards Xie Yiyi angrily.
But before he could touch Xie Yiyi, Lu Bingchen kicked her away with a cold face.
"Clang--" the knife fell from his hand.
Su Yuan felt pain and wanted to pick up the knife.
But two burly men quickly rushed in from the door and stabbed her in the back of the neck.
Su Yuan didn't even see who it was before her eyes went dark.
The personal bodyguard sent by Lu Zhizhang lifted Su Yuan up and looked at Lu Bingchen and Xie Yiyi, "Our boss asked us to take her away."
Lu Bingchen: "Please do as you wish."
Su Yuan was dragged away by two bodyguards.
On this side, Lu Zhizhang was still swearing angrily on the phone.
Xie Yiyi hung up the phone directly.
This is a farce, let them solve it themselves.
"Mr. Lu, I'm very satisfied with your performance today... You're right, loyalty is a man's best dowry."
Xie Yiyi tiptoed and kissed Lu Bingchen on the lips as a reward.
Lu Bingchen rarely failed to chase after a kiss. His dark eyes were as deep as ink, and he looked at her inquiringly. "How do you know it wasn't Su Yuan who sent me to the hospital?"
Xie Yiyi coughed twice and blinked at him, "What do you think?"
Lu Bingchen's heartbeat suddenly quickened, but his tone was extremely firm, "Is it you?"
"You were the one who saved me back then?!"
Xie Yiyi looked into his shocked yet loving black eyes, recalling the painful thing that happened to her.
After all, for her, drawing blood is something that requires a lot of courage.
…
That night, she and the driver went to buy a midnight snack. On the way back to Yushui Bay, they passed by Lu Bingchen's clinic and saw that the lights were still on. She asked the driver to stop the car, thinking of meeting him at Song Xiaoye. When she entered, she saw alcohol and blood all over the floor.
Lu Bingchen's face was pale and his body was as cold as a dead person.
She was terrified and called the driver, who gave him first aid on the way and sent him to the hospital.
When she handed him over to the nurse, the nurse praised her and said that she did a good job in first aid, otherwise Lu Bingchen would have died of shock.
But Lu Bingchen was very unlucky, the hospital's blood bank was out of blood, fortunately she and Lu Bingchen had the same blood type.
She drew a lot of blood. She was afraid of death, but she didn't want the man she secretly loved to die in front of her.
Xie Yiyi's eyes curved, and she hooked her hands around Lu Bingchen's neck. Her voice was nasal, as if she had a cold. "Lu Bingchen, you owe me three wishes."
