As the car slowly drove away, Li Chu sat up straight, but the doubts in his heart still lingered.
Based on this, it's highly likely that the child in Ran Qiuye's belly is this man's.
Judging from the fact that the two of them dared to do such intimate things on the side of the road, they must be a couple, or at the very least, they are dating.
However, based on his understanding of Ran Qiuye, she wasn't the type to get pregnant out of wedlock, and society wasn't that open-minded back then.
If any woman did such a thing, she would probably be stabbed in the back and have her spine broken.
Not to mention that she still has a job.
With these questions in mind, Tian Jun drove his car into the hospital.
As Li Chu got out of the car in front of the administration building, staff members coming in and out kept saluting him.
The sentry ran over too.
"Dean Li, a female colleague came looking for you earlier and is now in Director Ding's office."
"Okay, I understand, thank you!"
Originally intending to go straight back to her office upstairs, Li Chu walked into the building and headed directly towards Ding Qiunan's office.
As he walked, he kept wondering who had come looking for him.
When he saw Qin Huairu in his wife's office, he realized that it was her follow-up appointment day.
She must have gone to the outpatient clinic but couldn't find Wenxuan, so she came to the administration building at the back.
Li Chu didn't think there was anything to talk about with Qin Huairu. After she came in, he immediately took her pulse and prescribed medicine.
After she saw her off, Ding Qiunan looked at her husband and asked with a smile, "Why are you back so quickly? I thought you wouldn't be back this morning, and I was even planning to have her come over this afternoon."
Why do you think I won't be back in the morning?
"I thought you were going to go and check out that piece of land."
“Hey, don’t even mention it.” Li Chu shook his head: “That’s not land at all, it’s a warehouse. It’s vacant now and we don’t need it for the time being, so headquarters decided to rent it out. We can’t rent that thing at all.”
Just as he finished speaking, he remembered his son and future daughter-in-law who had gone to the beach, and quickly asked, "By the way, have Wenxuan and Yueyue called back yet?"
"I made the call, and we arrived at the armed forces department's guesthouse around nine o'clock. The journey was relatively smooth."
"That's good." Upon hearing this, Li Chu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
As the saying goes, a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles. He, as a father, was also very worried, after all, the world is far from peaceful these days.
"You were just chatting with Qin Huairu. How are her two daughters doing in Da Mao?"
"How can you tell anything after just two days? But they're willing to do it themselves."
Li Chu nodded and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he started talking about what he had seen on the road earlier.
"I saw Ran Qiuye when I came back just now. I guess the child she's pregnant with is probably the one from Wenhui and the others' PE teacher when they were in school."
Ding Qiunan's inner gossip was ignited by her husband's words.
She pulled her chair closer and said, "Tell me quickly, how did you know?"
"I'm just guessing, but I think it's probably close enough."
Then he told me everything he had just seen.
After listening, Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes and said somewhat uncertainly, "Then it must be that Teacher Liu's spouse has passed away."
Meeting her husband's questioning gaze, she continued, "Teacher Liu is the PE teacher you mentioned. Back when the child was still in elementary school, I heard that her husband seemed to have congenital heart disease."
Hearing this, Li Chu nodded in realization. If that's the case, it's quite possible, but not necessarily.
Although Western medicine currently cannot cure congenital heart disease, as far as he knows, there are at least seven or eight traditional Chinese medicine doctors in Beijing who can treat such patients, excluding himself.
A complete cure is impossible, but with proper care, she can live like a normal person.
Of course, don't even think about having a baby; that's suicide.
"If that's the case, then Ran Qiuye is very likely already married to Teacher Liu. But why didn't she tell us? We're friends, after all," Ding Qiunan said with some dissatisfaction.
"Who would know?" Li Chu shook his head and said, "Let's ask her when we see her again."
He paused here, thought for a moment, and then said, "Another possibility is that they are getting old, and since the teacher you mentioned, Mr. Liu, is remarried, they may have only obtained a marriage certificate and did not hold a wedding ceremony."
Ding Qiunan's eyes darted around, and she stared at her husband with a half-smile, asking, "Li Chu, don't you feel a little disappointed?"
"Huh? Disappointed? Why should I be disappointed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the expression on his wife's face and realized what she meant by asking the question.
"Honey, what do you mean by that question? It's as if I've done something to wrong you."
Li Chu said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Hmph, even if you haven't done anything to wrong me, when you see someone who used to like you suddenly marry someone else, don't you have any other thoughts in your mind?"
"No, to be honest, I can only wish her well."
"Who knows!" Ding Qiunan said through gritted teeth.
After saying that, she pulled Li Chu, who was sitting in her chair, up, plopped down in her own chair, picked up a document from the table, and waved it away as if shooing away a fly.
"Alright, alright, I'm busy now, go out and have some fun by yourself."
"Hey, how can you talk like that!"
Li Chu reached out and cupped her little head, kissing her fiercely. He didn't let go for a long time, then proudly tossed his head at her before turning and walking out.
Watching her husband's retreating figure, Ding Qiunan burst out laughing.
She was absolutely certain that her husband would never do anything to betray her.
She only said that as a little joke.
She stopped thinking about it and started looking at the documents in her hand.
Just like I said before, I'll ask when I see him again.
After leaving his wife's office, Li Chu went straight upstairs.
Instead of returning to his own office, he went directly to Dean Shan's office.
The old man is officially retiring before National Day this year, and these two months will be his last shift.
"Dong dong dong"
He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the dean's office.
"Please come in."
Although Dean Shan's voice came from inside, a person also came out of the office next door.
Dean Li
"Well, I need to speak with Dean Shan about something. You go ahead with your business and don't worry about us."
"yes"
The person who came out of the office next door was Dean Shan's assistant; this was his last shift.
Dean Shan has already arranged his next job; he will be assigned to a deputy position in a department under the logistics department.
That's a pretty good result.
Li Chu pushed open the door to the dean's office and went inside.
