On the way back to the hospital, Li Chu rode his bicycle, his mind constantly racing with thoughts of Jiang Cheng. Why would he do such a thing? They hadn't seen each other for nearly twenty years. Even if their relationship wasn't what it was when they were children, did he really need someone to follow him?
Could it be that someone from that department is still questioning the documents from last time?
No, if it were because of that incident, there would be no need for such surveillance, and it wouldn't be just one person following them. Uncle Liu and the others know about our family.
From this perspective, it seems to be Jiang Cheng's own business and has nothing to do with Uncle Liu and the others, so why would he do this?
Because he didn't register Jiang Li and her child's household registration?
But because of this, he hired someone to follow him. What did he want to do after they found his house?
Li Chu couldn't imagine what Jiang Cheng was planning to do next.
But it's definitely not going to be anything good.
Sigh, how am I going to tell my wife about this later?
Li Chu felt incredibly overwhelmed; what a mess of all this was!
Back at the hospital, with half an hour left before her shift ended, she went straight to the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, where Ding Qiunan was chatting with another pharmacy employee.
"Hey, Qiu Nan, your Dr. Li is here again." Ding Qiu Nan's colleague was facing the window and saw Li Chu as soon as he entered the lobby.
"How can you talk like that? What do you mean by 'again'? I wish my Dr. Li could stay here forever." Ding Qiunan was now immune to these teasing remarks and didn't care at all.
Turning around and seeing her husband already approaching, Ding Qiunan stood up and walked out of the house.
When they came out, they noticed that Li Chu's worried expression seemed even more pronounced than in the morning.
"Honey, are you all ready to leave work?"
Ding Qiunan didn't speak, she just stared at her husband.
"Sigh," Li Chu sighed inwardly, "If you're done here, come to my office. I need to talk to you about something."
Ding Qiunan nodded: "Okay, you go ahead first, I'll be right there."
After saying that, she went into the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy to pack her things.
Li Chu didn't leave first; he just stood there waiting for her to come out.
After going in, Ding Qiunan greeted her colleagues and came out quickly.
The two arrived at the clinic. After entering, Li Chu closed the door behind him and then pulled his wife over to hug her tightly.
"What's wrong, darling? What happened? Can you tell me?" Ding Qiunan reached out and stroked her husband's back after he was hugged.
Li Chu held her like that without saying a word, and only let go after a long while.
"Something did happen." He sat down in a chair, took his wife's hand, and pulled her onto his lap before recounting what had happened in the past two days.
After listening to Li Chu's explanation, Ding Qiunan stared at him blankly: "How could this be?"
"We don't know the specific reason yet, and it's not even certain if it was him."
Seeing the fear and worry in his wife's eyes, Li Chu tenderly cupped her face and gently kissed her forehead: "Originally, I didn't want you to know, but after thinking about it, I think you should know about this."
"Why didn't you tell me? We're a couple, a family. Why won't you let me know about something this big?" Ding Qiunan said, tears streaming down her face.
Li Chu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away her tears: "Wife, I was just afraid you would worry."
"Do you know that if I find out later, I will be even more worried, and I will feel that I am useless. Why do you have to shoulder everything by yourself? Do you even consider me your wife?"
Ding Qiunan became more and more agitated as she spoke, and in the end she even shouted it out. After she finished speaking, she buried her face in Li Chu's arms and cried loudly.
Li Chu hugged his wife tightly, apologizing to her repeatedly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
In the four years since they met and got married, he had never seen Ding Qiunan so heartbroken, not just heartbroken, but also terrified.
We're all ordinary people; who wouldn't be afraid if something like this happened?
"Congratulations, Jiang Cheng, you've successfully angered me. It'd better you weren't the one who did this, or you'll be more than just crippled in your genitals," Li Chu thought fiercely to himself.
After finally calming Ding Qiunan down from crying, Li Chu looked at his wife, whose eyes were already red from crying, and said, "I plan to have Aunt Wang take the child home tonight."
Ding Qiunan nodded, sobbing, and said, "I want to go back with you tonight."
As she said this, a resolute look appeared in her eyes.
Li Chu looked at his wife very seriously: "Listen to me, you should stay here and keep me company as usual."
Seeing that Ding Qiunan was about to say something, he raised his hand and covered her mouth.
“Wife, it’s not that we have to be together to share the hardships. Your safety and the children’s safety are the top priority. Only when I’m sure you’re all safe and sound can I do things without worry. Otherwise, it will be like last night, where I didn’t dare to chase after that person because the children were with me.”
"But I'm also worried about your safety. I don't feel at ease if I'm not by your side."
Li Chu smiled and ruffled his wife's hair: "So what if you're by my side? Don't be angry when I say this. If you're really by my side, and something happens, I'll have to take care of you first."
The Green Gourd Sword Immortal
Ding Qiunan knew her husband was right, and she had already accepted the arrangement, but she still couldn't help but whine, "Fine, Li Chu, you think I'm useless now."
"How could it be useless? You are my anchor. No matter how many troubles I have, as long as I see you, my heart immediately calms down."
Ding Qiunan reached out and stroked her husband's face: "I can listen to you and stay with you in the hospital, but you have to promise me that you will take good care of yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Li Chu, remember this well: our home is only possible because of you." After saying this, Ding Qiunan cupped her husband's face and kissed him.
After a long while, their lips parted, and Li Chu gently patted his wife's back: "Go and take the child to the ward, I'll get us some food."
Ding Qiunan nodded, stood up, straightened her clothes, walked to the washbasin stand by the door, washed her face with water from the basin, looked at herself in the small mirror hanging on the wall, and only after confirming that she could not see anything did she open the door to the examination room.
"I'm going to pick up the kids now. Please get some more food; we didn't seem to have enough to eat yesterday."
"Okay, I understand." Li Chu opened the cabinet door under his desk and took out the lunchbox inside.
When he got his food and arrived at the back of the inpatient department, he saw Uncle Wang's jeep parked in front of the building, and Li Chu felt relieved.
I was just thinking that if Uncle Wang hadn't come today, I would have had to call him from the security department later. It's so good that Uncle Wang is here now.
