Chapter 998: Joint Responsibilities of Husband and Wife
The controversy surrounding Su Yi's illegitimate child finally subsided after the joint clarification by the hospital's top management and the old man of the Su family.
Although one could still occasionally catch some curious or inquiring glances, at least no one dared to make comments openly anymore.
Su Yi's icy face finally returned to normal from the colorful black.
The days seemed to have returned to the monotonous state of waiting.
The only difference is that when Ming Chenggang came to chat with me, the topic of "Su Pa Pi" appeared more and more frequently.
Sometimes I complain about Su Yi's workaholic and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and sometimes I dislike him for being too picky and detail-oriented.
Although there was contempt in his tone, his attitude was obviously different. There was a bit more... inexplicable boasting. Yes, it was showing off.
It's like the feeling of a mother talking about her own child to others. She appears to be disgusted, but deep down she is showing off.
I always listened quietly. Maybe she herself didn't realize that 'Su Pa Pi' occupied most of her topics.
That afternoon, Su Yi and Ming Chenggang came together.
Su Yi stood in front of the glass with his hands behind his back. Every time I saw someone come over and look at Xiao Shiqiu like this, I always had the absurd illusion that my husband had turned into an ornamental fish.
Su Yi suddenly turned to look at me with an unusually serious expression. He looked at me, then at Ming Chenggang who was peeling an apple next to him, and cleared his throat.
"Sister-in-law," he began, his voice gentler than usual, "there is something I'd like to ask your opinion on."
"Hmm? Go ahead." I put down the spoon.
He pushed up his glasses, his gaze lingering on Ming Chenggang for two seconds, then turned to me and asked solemnly, "Do you think... Ming Chenggang and I look like a good match?"
With a 'pop' sound, the half-peeled apple fell to the ground.
Ming Chenggang suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, his face turned red instantly, he looked at Su Yi in shock, his mouth open but no words came out.
Su Yi completely ignored her shock and embarrassment, and still looked at me seriously, waiting for my answer.
I was also stunned by this sudden question. I looked at Su Yi, then at Ming Chenggang who looked embarrassed. I didn't know how to answer: "Uh... this... why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?"
Su Yi frowned slightly, “Originally, I should ask Brother Qiu about this.
He promised me he'd help me find a girlfriend, but I can't ask him now, and I don't want to wait any longer." He glanced at Xiao Shiqiu, who was sleeping on the other side of the glass. "You're his wife, so asking you is the same."
He spoke as if it was a matter of course, but I was a little amused and confused. So I also have "joint responsibilities as a couple"?
Looking at these two funny guys in front of me, the depression in my heart seemed to be diluted a little.
I thought about it seriously, then looked at Su Yi and tried to answer in a serious tone: "Actually, I think... you and Gangzi do look quite compatible."
Su Yi's eyes lit up obviously, "Really? How are they a good match? Sister-in-law, please elaborate."
Oh my god, do you want to explain it in detail?
Oh my god, I thought it was a judgment question, but it turned out to be an essay question!
Seeing his expectant look, I couldn't bear to refuse, so I continued to answer seriously: "First of all, you are both very outstanding and smart, with similar educational backgrounds and doing the same job.
Having common pursuits in career and common hobbies in life, it is easier for top students to understand each other and make progress together."
Finally, I concluded: "So you two are simply a match made in heaven!"
Su Yi listened very carefully, nodded repeatedly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, obviously very satisfied with my evaluation.
"Common language, common progress... Yeah, sister-in-law's analysis is correct."
He turned to look at Ming Chenggang, his eyes burning, "Look, sister-in-law also thinks we are a good match."
"I..." Ming Chenggang felt uncomfortable when he was looked at by him. He wanted to refute but didn't know where to start. He could only stare blankly with a red face.
I hesitated for a moment, but decided to subtly remind Dr. Su, who had no romantic life and relied entirely on logic in his daily life, "But Su Yi, you two are both so busy with work. If you really want to be together... maybe you need to make some plans in advance?
Better to find a reliable assistant? Someone like Xiao Yang who can help Shi Qiu with chores?"
I can't imagine what life would be like if they got together with their emotional intelligence.
Su Yi nodded immediately, with an appearance of humbly accepting instruction: “Sister-in-law is right to remind you that logistics is very important for support.
Xiao Yang is indeed very capable, and Brother Qiu doesn't need him anymore. You can tell him that if he's considering changing jobs, he can give my place first."
I was speechless. Does he really not think there is anything wrong with stealing my husband's girl in front of him?
I decided to change the subject. "Before asking me this, you haven't discussed it with Gangzi yet, right?"
Su Yi nodded and said, "Let's discuss it right away."
He stood up, walked over to Ming Chenggang, and said very seriously, "Xiao Ming, my sister-in-law just said that we are a perfect match. She has given us all the reasons, so I won't repeat them. If you don't have any objections, let's start dating now."
There was deathly silence in the ward.
I really want to cover my face. This is the most "formal" confession I have ever seen. It is reasonable and well-founded, but it lacks human touch.
Ming Chenggang was stunned. The apple he had just picked up fell again, and his eyes were full of confusion, as if he had heard something.
Su Yi waited for a while, but got no response. He frowned slightly, and seemed a little guilty: "Do you have any different opinions?
In fact, if you are dissatisfied with anything, you can raise it specifically.
We are negotiating with the attitude of solving the problem. I will try my best to change what can be changed. If it cannot be changed... can you try to adjust your personal preferences? "
His tone was as serious as if he was discussing treatment options.
Very good, the confession scene turned into a meeting scene.
"Puff..." I couldn't help it and quickly covered my mouth.
Seeing Ming Chenggang still staring at him blankly, Su Yi began to get anxious and immediately started self-reflection mode: "You don't have too many opinions to count, do you? Why don't you just tell me what's wrong with me?
Apart from often asking you to work overtime, taking you with me to every meeting, and taking you with me to every surgery, how else has he treated you badly?
Oh, by the way, I brought too many snacks to the office, and you gained five pounds. I didn't do that on purpose, I just thought you liked to eat." Su Yi felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.
Ming Chenggang held it in for a long time, her face turning even redder, and finally she muttered softly, "I'm not really dissatisfied with anything..."
It’s just… I’m not used to you suddenly speaking so nicely…”
I think they are quite good to watch now, it's really entertaining.
"It's okay if you're not used to it," Su Yi's voice was unusually gentle. "You can start getting used to it now. Don't call me by my full name in the future. Start by just calling me by my first name, okay?" Su Yi looked at Ming Chenggang expectantly.
Ming Chenggang's eyes evaded, his ears reddened, "Okay~" She nodded, and finally shouted bravely and shyly: "Skin it~"
