Du Qiang ultimately failed to become a gentleman. Qian Xue had already taken such a proactive approach; if he could still tolerate it, he would truly be an immortal.
The bed rocked all night until dawn.
After that night, the estrangement between Du Qiang and Qian Xue was resolved.
Once she became Du Qiang's woman, she became Du Qiang's wife.
Their lives became more natural, and they lived together like a married couple.
Except for not having that marriage certificate, the two were no different from any other ordinary couple.
One day, when Du Qiang went out to buy groceries, he happened to encounter a thief committing a crime. As a police officer, he immediately transformed into an embodiment of justice and chased after the thief.
The thief was being chased by Du Qiang. In an attempt to escape Du Qiang's pursuit, the thief actually ran to the meat stall, picked up a knife, and stabbed Du Qiang in the back.
Du Qiang was bleeding profusely, and the people around him reacted and worked together to pin the thief down as he tried to escape.
Du Qiang was taken to the hospital, and when someone notified Qian Xue, she rushed to the hospital in a panic.
"Hello, where is Du Qiang?"
Qian Xue hurriedly went to the nurses' station, wanting to ask about Du Qiang's condition.
"Who are you to Comrade Du Qiang?"
One sentence made Qian Xue freeze instantly.
"I am his girlfriend."
"His partner? That's troublesome. Comrade Du Qiang has lost too much blood and is about to undergo surgery. We need his partner or a relative to sign the consent form..."
Upon hearing that Qian Xue was only a potential boyfriend, the nurse lowered her head in disappointment.
Qian Xue looked up in surprise.
"Can't I sign? I'm his fiancée."
Qian Xue said urgently.
"Our hospital has a rule that only his family member or wife can sign..."
The nurses were also at a loss.
"He's a policeman, and he has no family left."
Qian Xue said anxiously.
"Could we have the police come and sign it?"
"Oh, it's a police officer? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Upon hearing that it was a police officer, the nurse realized there was no need for any signatures and turned to run away.
"Quickly, notify the operating room to begin surgery! This is our police officer! Saving lives is the priority."
The nurse immediately shouted and rushed into the operating room.
Qian Xue sat dejectedly in the chair.
If she were Du Qiang's wife, she could have signed the document directly.
Since they hadn't registered their marriage, she didn't even have the right to sign anything...
When Xia Lan arrived with Xiao Yuqin after receiving the news, Qian Xue sat in a chair, looking utterly dejected, staring blankly in the direction of the operating room.
"Minor Snow!"
Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin quickly ran over.
"Auntie."
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan couldn't help but worry when they saw Qian Xue like this.
"You've arrived."
Qian Xue snapped out of her daze, saw Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin, and threw herself into Xia Lan's arms.
"The nurse said he was stabbed and bled a lot..."
"They said I needed to sign the consent form for the surgery, but I'm not qualified to sign it."
Qian Xue said sullenly.
Xia Lan paused, then exchanged a glance with Xiao Yuqin.
Qian Xue and Du Qiang lived together, but they were not legally married, so Qian Xue was not qualified to sign the papers.
"What do we do now? Is surgery possible?"
Xia Lan quickly asked.
"When I told them he was a police officer, they said it wasn't necessary..."
Qian Xue said absentmindedly, feeling grateful for the first time that Du Qiang was a police officer.
Xia Lan patted Qian Xue reassuringly, saying that it was good that she had already undergone surgery.
He'll be alright.
"If he's gone, I..."
Qian Xue covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes.
This was the first time she had felt so scared. The last time was when Qian Yao had an accident, and this time, it was because Du Qiang's life was in danger.
She almost lost him.
Xia Lan sighed softly.
"That's easy, just get your marriage certificate."
Qian Xue was taken aback and looked up at Xia Lan.
"Don't underestimate this piece of paper. This piece of paper protects all the connections between you and Du Qiang."
"In the current situation, no one but you is qualified to sign."
"Actually, I think you're focusing on the wrong thing."
Xia Lan looked at Qian Xue.
"It is precisely because Yao Yao does not have this piece of paper that Cao Jiaguo dares to treat her like this."
"Furthermore, I think Yao Yao in heaven wouldn't want to see you resist marrying the person you love because of her, right?"
Xia Lan's words made Qian Xue fall into deep thought.
"is that so?"
Qian Xue paused for a moment, then thought about what Xia Lan had said.
If Qian Yao and Cao Jiaguo get their marriage certificate, then if Qian Yao is unhappy after marrying into the family, she can get a divorce, and she and her parents will definitely let her go home.
It was precisely because Qian Yao did not register her marriage with Cao Jiaguo that Cao's mother was willing to ruin Qian Yao's reputation and keep harping on her, all in an attempt to force Qian Yao to comply with her wishes. Her goal was to make Qian Yao marry Cao Jiaguo.
Qian Xue thought about it for a very long time, recalling all the happy moments she shared with Du Qiang...
I stared at the operating room door for a long, long time, until the lights finally went out.
As the nurse wheeled Du Qiang out of the operating room after the surgery, Qian Xue immediately rushed over.
"Doctor, how is he?"
The nurse saw Qian Xue and smiled at her.
"Comrade Du Qiang is very lucky. He was not seriously injured, but he lost a lot of blood and is still unconscious. He will wake up in about half an hour."
The nurse smiled and pushed Du Qiang toward the ward.
Qian Xue quickly followed.
Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin quickly followed, bringing Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan with them.
The nurse left after taking him to the ward.
