Lin Yuqing, on the other hand, looked suspicious and the more she looked, the more something seemed off.
"Can Can, look at her nurse's uniform... it's different from the other nurses' uniforms."
"That skirt is way too short! She came to your husband's hospital room wearing such a short skirt, was she really just here to change his dressing?"
"No, I have to go after them and ask!"
"Sister Yuqing..." Jiang Can said, both amused and exasperated, "What else can she do if she doesn't come to change her dressing? Don't make a fool of yourself!"
She never overthinks things.
Moreover, even if someone were to set their sights on Gu Mang, Gu Mang would not agree to it.
She had complete confidence in her husband's fidelity.
"You're great in every way, except you're slow to react in this area!" Lin Yuqing muttered under her breath, glancing at Huo Zhixin's back as she secretly memorized the nurse's figure.
The two entered the ward. Jiang Can placed the insulated lunchbox on the table and went to check on Gu Mang's condition.
"How are you feeling today? Are you in pain?"
"I'm not that delicate!" Gu Mang chuckled. "Shen Xiao said I can be discharged and he wants me to go home and recuperate."
"Okay!" Jiang Can nodded. "I figured I'd be discharged in the next couple of days, so I came here today to help you pack up."
"Yeah, they're not even going to work anymore, and they're dragging me along with them!"
Lin Yuqing leaned against the door frame, her arms crossed over her chest, a faint smile on her face.
Gu Mang was taken aback and looked at Jiang Can. Jiang Can told him in a low voice, embarrassed, "I dragged Sister Yuqing here to be a mover."
"Can Can said she'd help you pack, and take some things home first. She wanted to borrow my car." Lin Yuqing smiled, then seemed to remember something and turned to Jiang Can, saying, "Can Can, I... I think I left my lipstick in the car. Could you go get it for me?"
"Look at me, I'm wearing high heels, it's inconvenient for me to go up and down the stairs!" Lin Yuqing handed her the car keys. "Perfect timing, I see your husband has packed some things too, you can take them down with you!"
Jiang Can didn't think much of it and readily agreed, then turned and walked downstairs.
Only Lin Yuqing and Gu Mang remained in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward. Gu Mang remained calm, his eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't, fixed on Lin Yuqing, as if waiting for her to say something.
As expected, Lin Yuqing spoke first: "Mr. Gu, I deliberately sent Can Can away."
Gu Mang nodded; he had expected this.
"I have two things I'd like to say to Mr. Gu."
“Hmm,” he said with a slight smile, “I’m all ears.”
Under his oppressive gaze, Lin Yuqing felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Just as we came in, a nurse came out to change Mr. Gu's dressing?"
Gu Mang was slightly taken aback, but immediately guessed what Lin Yuqing wanted to ask.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Lin Yuqing took a deep breath. "Mr. Gu, Can Can is honest and gentle, but she's definitely not easy to bully! Mr. Gu, you should also think about it. With your qualifications, you're really lucky to be able to marry a wife like Can Can!"
Gu Mang almost laughed, but then frowned slightly. "What exactly is Miss Lin trying to say?"
Lin Yuqing had wanted to talk to Gu Mang about these things for a long time, but she never had the chance. She took advantage of today's incident to pour it all out.
She looked at him and said clearly, "I just wanted to remind you to treat Jiang Can well and not have any other thoughts. Jiang Can is very single-minded; if you are even a little bit kind to her, she will repay you for the rest of her life!"
"So you can't bear to let a girl like that down, can you?"
Gu Mang's expression remained indifferent, with a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.
For some reason, Lin Yuqing felt a chill in her hands and feet after saying those words. She looked up and saw that Gu Mang's deep eyes seemed to know everything. The powerful aura emanating from the man was imposing and suffocating.
Jiang Can really adapts to living with a man like that every day!
Lin Yuqing frowned slightly. Just then, Jiang Can returned, carrying a small bouquet of flowers.
"I just saw them at that little flower shop next to the parking lot." She smiled brightly. "A hospital ward needs some flowers to feel more alive. I was so busy that I forgot about them until today!"
She found a glass bottle, arranged the flowers, and placed it on the windowsill. As soon as Gu Mang saw her, his eyes softened, and he gently took her small hand in his own.
Lin Yuqing quickly made an excuse to slip away.
She doesn't want to be a third wheel here!
Jiang Can blushed slightly, pulled her hand away, and looked at him quietly with her watery eyes.
"You didn't shower yesterday, did you? Let me help you dry off."
As she spoke, she turned and went out, and soon returned with hot water.
These past few days, Gu Mang has been hospitalized, and she's been the one to help him bathe each time. She wrung out a hot towel and carefully lifted his clothes. The bruises on his body had faded somewhat, but they still looked shocking.
Jiang Can's heart tightened, and she tried her best to avoid the wound, carefully wiping it for him.
However, the further down the abdomen you rub, the more you can feel the changes in the man's body.
Jiang Can glanced at it secretly, then quickly looked away.
Gu Mang grabbed her small hand, a mischievous smile spreading across his face. Jiang Can, having been married to him for so long, understood exactly what he was thinking...
She felt embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she tried to pull her hand away, but it was too late.
The man pulled her over, and she fell right into his arms.
"Stop fooling around..." she shifted, "You're still injured!"
His hot breath brushed against her earlobe, his voice low and husky: "This little injury won't bother you."
"That won't do either." Jiang Can gave him a reproachful look. "People say it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone! You'd better be careful."
"But... how do I resolve some personal issues?"
Jiang Can looked helpless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Gu Mang usually has a blank expression and is frighteningly aloof to everyone. Sometimes his face is so hard that no one dares to get close to him.
But only she could see the two flames burning in his eyes.
Jiang Can smiled, gently stroked his angular face with her small hand, and kissed him on the cheek.
"That's it?" Gu Mang was clearly not satisfied.
"Stop joking!" she said seriously, "This is a hospital..."
"Then try to solve this for me in a different way."
"What?"
Before Jiang Can could react, the man smirked and grabbed her small hand, guiding it downwards...
The room was filled with the warmth of spring, and even the little flowers on the windowsill bloomed more brightly.
...
Lin Yuqing stood at the hospital entrance, pacing back and forth, feeling extremely bored.
Suddenly someone behind her started talking to her.
"You're Jiang Can's colleague, right? You came with her?"
Lin Yuqing was startled and suddenly turned around to see a tall, thin doctor with fair skin and a refined demeanor, who was smiling gently at her.
She returned his polite smile and shook his hand.
"My name is Shen Xiao," he introduced himself. "I am Gu Mang's attending physician."
Lin Yuqing suddenly realized.
Could this Shen Xiao be the doctor Jiang Can mentioned a few times, the one who played matchmaker between her and Gu Mang?
