Chapter 6: Misunderstood

As soon as Jiang Chuan left, a nurse came to look after Xiao Qingru.

"Comrade Xiao, is there anything you need to tell me?"

Xiao Qingru curled her lips and said, "It will take half an hour to finish this bottle of medicine. Go take care of other patients first and come back when the time is almost up."

"I have colleagues outside. I'll leave when your mother arrives. It won't take long."

"Thanks a lot."

The nurse shook her head and sat down on a chair nearby, glancing at Xiao Qingru's condition from time to time.

Xiao's mother rushed over with an insulated lunch box. Seeing that her daughter had woken up, she was happy at first, but then her face sank.

Is that person gone?

Just say he is unreliable!

He smiled politely at the nurse and said, "Comrade, thank you for watching over our Qingru just now. Now that everything is fine, you can go back to your work."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

The medicine had just run out, so the nurse pulled out the needle.

The door opened and closed again.

"Where's Jiang Chuan?"

"Leave."

Xiao's mother had a blank expression on her face, and she no longer had the desire to curse.

For a person like this, it would be useless even if you give him a hundred chances!

Moreover, she was really worried about leaving her daughter to Jiang Chuan.

It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one!

Xiao Qingru was in poor health, and her mother didn't want to talk about things that upset her.

The most important thing now is to keep healthy.

"Mom has asked for leave from the company for you. Let's rest and recuperate during this time."

Pulling the quilt, she said, "Mom will go ask the doctor when you can eat. Come back soon."

"Um."

The effect of the anesthetic had worn off, Xiao Qingru was no longer as drowsy as before, and his consciousness was becoming clearer and clearer.

I pressed the temple point and asked, "Who sent her to the hospital?"

There is only a vague outline in my mind, and a pair of sharp eyes that can see through people's hearts.

Those eyes were so compelling that just thinking about them made me nervous.

But since the other party saved her, she should be grateful to him out of both emotion and reason.

So, after Xiao's mother came back, Xiao Qingru asked, "Mom, do you know who sent me to the hospital?"

Speaking of this, Xiao's mother couldn't help laughing, "It's Comrade Xu, your brother's friend from Beijing."

"The one who flies the plane?"

"Yes, that's him."

Xu Muzhou came to her house for dinner once, and Xiao Qingru met him.

But at that time she was so focused on Jiang Chuan that she didn't pay much attention to her brother's friend.

It was obvious that the other person was not someone she would be easy to mess with, so she subconsciously didn't dare to have much contact with him.

Unexpectedly, it was Xu Muzhou who saved her this time.

"When you recover, Mom will invite Xiao Xu to our house for dinner. You can thank him in person then."

Xiao Qingru nodded, "Of course."

If it weren't for Xu Muzhou, she didn't know whether she would be able to see the sun tomorrow.

"The doctor said we can eat after the gas is expelled. Let's wait a little longer."

"I'm not hungry." Xiao Qingru asked: "Mom, have you not eaten yet? Eat something first."

After being busy for most of the day, it was already afternoon and Xiao's mother had nothing to eat except breakfast.

After hearing what my daughter said, I felt a little hungry.

"Then mom went to the canteen and bought two steamed buns."

"I'm fine here. You can come back after you finish your meal."

Perhaps it was because enemies often meet on a narrow road, Xiao's mother didn't want to bother with Jiang Chuan anymore, but unexpectedly she met him in the cafeteria.

He carefully asked what a woman who has just given birth can eat. If you didn't know, you would think his wife had given birth.

Jiang Chuan felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xiao's mother, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

"Aunt, what would you like to eat? I have some food coupons here. I'll pay for it for you."

"Need not."

Xiao's mother's attitude was very indifferent. She believed that the family's shame should not be exposed to the public, and she should not do something that would harm her own family while killing the enemy.

And if the matter got out of hand, the worst that could happen would be that people would laugh at her daughter behind her back.

Even if you want to cancel the engagement, you have to do it gracefully.

I walked around Jiangchuan, bought two steamed buns and went back to the ward.

"Comrade Jiang, do you still want this porridge?"

"Yes, I do."

Jiang Chuan said, "Cook me a bowl of brown sugar eggs tomorrow and I'll have someone pick it up. I'll leave the ticket here for you."

"Okay!"

Carrying the rice porridge in the lunch box, Jiangchuan returned to the ward.

Du Wanqiu's condition was not as serious as Mrs. Wang said. She was in good spirits at the moment and was lying on the hospital bed watching the child sleep.

However, due to her frail body, she suffered a lot during this childbirth.

"Where is Mrs. Wang?"

"Oh, I asked her to go home. I've been busy all day and I don't want to keep her busy."

Du Wanqiu wanted to sit up, and Jiang Chuan took two quick steps to help her.

The person in the bed next to him who didn't know what was going on said jokingly, "Comrade Du, your wife is so good to you. She was always there to help you while you were giving birth. I've never seen such a considerate man."

Jiang Chuan was shocked. He and Du Wanqiu had nothing to do with each other, so how could the word "lover" be used randomly?

Just as he was about to explain, Du Wanqiu spoke up first: "Your husband is very considerate. He has been taking care of the child."

The man felt embarrassed. Seeing that 꺵꽬 had already completed the formalities and returned, he said, "Comrade Du, I just came to the family compound not long ago and I don't have many friends here. If there is a chance in the future, can we chat together?"

Du Wanqiu nodded, "We are all in the same courtyard, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Then we will be discharged from the hospital first. I wish you a speedy recovery."

"Thank you."

After the patient in the next bed was discharged, Jiang Chuan said, "You should have explained it clearly to others just now. It would be bad for your reputation if someone misunderstood you."

Du Wanqiu was depressed and looked disappointed. "I don't want others to sympathize with me. They are just casual acquaintances. We may not have the opportunity to interact with each other in the future. Why should I explain so much to them?"

"It's always bad if things like this are misunderstood."

Du Wanqiu smiled a smile that was uglier than crying. "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it that much just now."

Seeing her moist eyes and her extremely apologetic look, how could Jiang Chuan blame her?

He quickly comforted her, "You didn't mean it, why bother apologizing to me?"

He opened the lunch box and said, "Eat something to replenish your body."

"Comrade Jiang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my child and I would have been..."

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing."

Du Wanqiu hummed, took the lunch box and spoon, scooped a spoonful with difficulty, and put it into his mouth.

Her lowered eyelids blocked her gaze, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Jiang Chuan, who was standing aside, fell into deep thought. He couldn't help but reflect on himself, wondering if he had done too much for Du Wanqiu, otherwise how could such a misunderstanding arise?

If Qingru knew that someone mistook him and Du Wanqiu for a married couple, he would definitely be angry.

Wait a little longer, until Du Wanqiu's body recovers and she can take care of the children by herself, he will reduce his contact with her.

On the other hand, a woman who had just been discharged from the hospital talked about Du Wanqiu, "Look at her husband, he's always busy running around. You weren't there when I gave birth!"

"Isn't my situation special? Besides, Comrade Du's lover died."

"Ah? Is that so?"

I wondered in my heart, if that’s the case, why didn’t you explain it just now?

Fortunately, 꺵꽬 told her, otherwise it would be so embarrassing to make a fool of herself in the future.
