Amid everyone's astonished gazes, Zhu Guihua slammed the door shut.
She let out a long breath, feeling indescribably happy.
Gu Jingming had a faint smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Only Ye Qingtao's expression changed. She walked up to her mother with some confusion and spoke in a low voice.
"Mom, didn't you say you had to discuss marriage with Dad? Why are you admitting it now in front of the neighbors?"
"If you want to marry him, it doesn't matter whether your father and I agree or not."
Zhu Guihua snorted softly. She had clearly accepted Gu Jingming in her heart but was unwilling to admit it.
Zhu Guihua invited Gu Jingming to sit down and politely poured him a cup of tea.
"Qingtao's father won't be back until later. You sit here for a while and chat with Qingtao. I'll go make dinner first and you can stay for dinner later."
Zhu Guihua had figured it out, so he took the initiative to invite Gu Jingming to dinner.
"Okay, thanks mom."
Gu Jingming's smile was gentle, and he didn't hesitate at all when calling "Mom".
Zhu Guihua's mouth curled up slightly and she went to the kitchen happily.
Ye Qingtao and Gu Jingming were the only ones left in the living room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"You, what's the matter with the injury on your shoulder?"
Ye Qingtao's gaze rested on Gu Jingming's shoulder and asked with some confusion.
"Nothing serious. I took on a difficult mission and got shot accidentally."
Gu Jingming said it lightly, as if being shot was the most normal thing for him.
"Your wounds haven't healed yet, but you're jumping around outside instead of lying down in bed? Do you want to die?"
As a doctor, Ye Qingtao couldn't stand people who didn't take care of their bodies and couldn't help but say a few words.
"This injury is relatively minor, nothing serious."
Ye Qingtao stood up and deliberately patted him on the shoulder.
Her fingers touched the injured area without applying too much pressure.
Gu Jingming hissed softly and gasped in pain, and the smile on Ye Qingtao's face suddenly became extremely bright.
"You fainted for no reason this morning, and now your wound hurts when you touch it, but you told me you're fine?"
"Although your body is strong and you have a good foundation from years of exercise, it can't withstand what you have done. Gu Jingming, how can I marry you if you don't take care of your body?"
Ye Qingtao snorted coldly, but Gu Jingming was not angry at all. Instead, he looked delighted.
"Qingtao, you promised to marry me?"
"I had some ideas before, but now I don't want to consider it!"
"Why?"
Gu Jingming looked a little anxious. Ye Qingtao frowned slightly and looked at him. She always felt that Gu Jingming was a little too enthusiastic about marrying her.
"You don't take care of your body. You will be covered in scars and sick in a few years. You may even die while on a mission. Then people will think I am unlucky."
Ye Qingtao lowered her voice when she spoke the last sentence. Gu Jingming had excellent hearing and naturally heard it clearly.
"As long as you are willing to marry me, I will definitely not let you become a widow."
"But your body?"
Ye Qingtao asked this question on her own initiative. In her opinion, there is no difference between male and female doctors. At the moment, Gu Jingming is her patient, so she does not have any psychological burden.
However, Gu Jingming misunderstood. Ye Qingtao used to be concerned about a happy life after marriage, so he quickly made a promise.
"I will actively cooperate with the treatment and recover my health as soon as possible."
"You mean, you know your problem, but you've never been to treatment before?"
Ye Qingtao narrowed her eyes and asked in confusion.
Aren't normal men concerned about these things? How could such an important matter be left unattended?
People born in the 1980s were more conservative and less willing to talk about these things.
As a doctor, Ye Qingtao does not discriminate based on gender when treating patients.
However, if Gu Jingming was willing, she could overcome her psychological barriers and check his wound because he was so handsome.
Since you have decided to marry him, there are definitely many things you need to understand clearly.
“I went to treatment…”
When Gu Jingming said this, his face suddenly turned red.
He never thought that at his age, he would talk about these things with a little girl one day.
This is his privacy, his secret that cannot be told.
He originally thought that he would never tell this to anyone else in his lifetime.
Now when I talk to her about it, I don't feel embarrassed.
The only worry is whether she will dislike him if she knows his problem?
The main reason was that he had never thought about getting married and having children before, and holding a wedding with Ma Yuting was just a temporary solution.
In the end, he didn't expect that Ma Yuting would embarrass him so much at the wedding.
He never thought it was shameful for men to have problems in that area, and he didn't want to get married and have children anyway.
He planned to devote his whole life to the army, and he held the wedding just to make his grandmother feel at ease.
They even agreed privately not to get the marriage certificate. After going through the formalities, they would have nothing to do with each other in the future.
Ma Yuting agreed at first, but suddenly became excited when it came to the wedding.
When he saw her being escorted in by her parents, he felt something was wrong.
He didn't expect his intuition to be so accurate. As he expected, the wedding was messed up.
"Treatment? Not cure?"
Ye Qingtao was completely in the state of a doctor treating a patient at this moment, and Gu Jingming felt that she was prying into his privacy.
However, when he thought that they had already held their wedding and would continue to live together as husband and wife, he immediately felt relieved.
“It’s not cured.”
Gu Jingming's answer was honest, and Ye Qingtao looked at him with a smile.
"Is it a physical or psychological reason?"
As a doctor, Ye Qingtao has always been aware that some diseases are not necessarily caused by physical reasons, but may also be related to the patient's psychology.
Gu Jingming is in good health and there is no obvious abnormality when taking his pulse, so such a problem should not occur.
The only explanation is probably that he had a mental problem, which in turn affected his body.
Gu Jingming was a little surprised, and at the same time he had some doubts in his mind.
When they first met, he fainted in front of her.
She saved him without hesitation. He felt pain in his butt before he woke up, and his injury recovered quickly after he went back. Now it seems that Ye Qingtao must have given him an injection at that time, and his intuition was not wrong.
Gu Jingming didn't answer for a long time, and Ye Qingtao couldn't help but coughing softly a few times.
Gu Jingming, who was in deep thought, was startled and was about to explain.
Just at this moment the door of the house was pushed open, interrupting their conversation.
Ye Yongjin came back from get off work, and before he even got home, he heard gossip all the way.
He had a thousand things to say, but when he got home and saw Gu Jingming, he couldn't ask a single question.
