Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Wan Manyu Saw Su ixi
“No serious harm was done,” Bai Anzhi said. “The doctor ntioned there were no injuries to the bones, just prescribed so dication to reduce swelling and relieve pain.”
He then went to the window to collect her dication and sorted it out properly.
When he finally put the dicine in her hand, Su ixi felt sowhat guilty, “Thank you, you’ve really gone to so much trouble for tonight.”
Bai Anzhi just smiled and asked, “So, how do you plan to repay ?”
“…” Su ixi wanted to say, would money be okay, if he would accept it.
But Bai Anzhi laughed and said, “Treat to a al soday, I an a real al, not takeout.”
Su ixi rembered the last ti she invited him to a al, which indeed was sowhat perfunctory, so she said, “Okay, when the ti cos you pick the place, and you decide what we eat.”
“Let’s not talk about that for now, I should take you back to the dormitory first. If you haven’t recovered by tomorrow, you’ll need to take leave, so don’t force yourself. This is no joke.”
Su ixi nodded in agreent.
He pushed her wheelchair and took the elevator to deliver her to her single dormitory.
Once there, he couldn’t help but shake his head, “You go on a study trip and live like an ascetic monk? Can’t the Gu Family afford a hotel, or is it that they can’t rent a place for you, making you live in this dump?”
Su ixi replied, “I co from a poor family. I’m not particular about these things. Besides, living here isn’t so bad, it’s close to work, and I can clock in as soon as I get up.”
“You’re quite pragmatic.”
The room was small, and after he entered, it beca especially cramped.
And he was still standing there, with a view of everything inside: her pajamas casually thrown on the bed, her skincare products scattered on the table, and this morning’s unfolded blanket.
Su ixi couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Bai, maybe you should go back now. I can manage on my own here.”
“How will you manage washing up? You can’t even walk.”
“I have my ways.” Her tone was clearly dismissing him.
Bai Anzhi worried that if he stayed any longer, it would irritate her.
Then all the efforts and cares he had shown throughout the evening would seem like the acts of an underhanded person with an agenda.
“Alright, then I’m leaving. Take care of yourself.”
With that, he truly turned around and left; the door closed with a “snap”.
Su ixi sat there for a while, couldn’t help but smile, and then, using the table for support, she stood up and limped her way to the bathroom to wash up.
…
The next day, the swelling in Su ixi’s leg had subsided a bit, but walking was still difficult.
She took half a day off and ate so more pain relief pills.
At noon, she went to the cafeteria to get her al.
Perhaps it was due to the painkillers, but she felt the pain in her calf was less apparent, now it was her stomach that felt uncomfortable along with so chest tightness.
After getting her al, she didn’t want to eat in the cafeteria, so she limped over to the garden by the inpatient departnt.
This inpatient building had a sky garden on every floor, with blooming white gardenias. Seeing these flowers always made her feel good.
The pressure on her chest eased slightly, and only then did she open her lunchbox to eat.
…
In the inpatient departnt.
Gu Wei had also finished his treatnt for the day.
The major surgeries were done; now it was ti for traditional Chinese dicine therapies.
Though the doctors were experienced traditional Chinese dicine practitioners, the treatnt still made Gu Wei break out in a cold sweat.
Now that it was over, Wan Manyu went to wipe his sweat.
While she did so, Gu Wei reached out, seeking her hand and gripping it tightly as if looking for comfort.
Wan Manyu felt warmth in her heart.
She liked this feeling very much.
Because the hand holding hers was Gu Wei’s.
Seeing this, Qiu Yurou comnted with a smile, “Look, you’re quite useful here.”
Wan Manyu knew that was not true; he was mistaking her for Su ixi.
After Gu Wei fell asleep, she gently laid his hand back down and said, “Godmother, shall I go get you sothing to eat?”
“No need, a nurse will bring sothing soon.”
She had hired a housekeeper and a nutritionist, and they were responsible for Gu Wei’s and family mbers’ nutrition.
“Then I’ll go take a walk,” Wan Manyu said.
She left the ward and walked to the corridor.
As usual, she plucked a few gardenias to put in her pocket.
Bending down, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the garden on the first floor.
Had she not seen this figure a few days ago? Was it Su ixi?
Wan Manyu’s heart skipped a beat at the ti.
Was it the so-called guilt of a thief? Why did she feel that Su ixi was here?
She took a deep breath and looked more closely.
From her high position, the figures below were too small to see clearly, so she took the elevator to the third floor.
From the third floor, looking down, the figure below lay open to view, clear and distinct.
It was indeed Su ixi!
She was wearing a floral dress, with a bandage wrapped around one calf.
Was she also injured?
Instinctively, Wan Manyu wanted to call out to Su ixi.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she hesitated.
She quickly darted aside, hiding behind a large tree.
No, she couldn’t let herself be seen. If Su ixi found out, then Su ixi would know that Gu Wei was hospitalized above, and she could no longer pretend to be his wife.
Suddenly, she felt despicable, a behavior she once despised.
However, now granted the opportunity to be close to Gu Wei, she had fallen into this kind of madness.
…
Downstairs, Su ixi faintly heard soone call out “Su”.
At this ti, most of the inpatient departnt were either resting or having lunch, so she heard the call distinctly.
However, when she looked up, she saw nothing.
It must have been an illusion.
Just then, her phone rang; Bai Anzhi had sent her a WeChat ssage asking how her leg injury was and if she could walk alone.
She replied to him: It’s alright, I can manage to work.
Bai Anzhi then reminded her to rest and to let him know if she needed anything.
…
Wan Manyu returned to the ward in a state of agitation.
Seeing her anxious appearance, Qiu Yurou couldn’t help but ask, “Manman, what’s wrong with you? Did you see sothing out there?”
Wan Manyu said, “No, nothing.”
She glanced at Gu Wei, who was asleep on the bed, then took a seat on the sofa.
And then she said, “Godmother, maybe… I should go back to work. There’s a lot going on at the company, and Mr. Gu is asking when I can go back.”
Qiu Yurou imdiately said, “No way, if you go back, what will I do here by myself?”
“Can’t you ask Mr. Gu to co over and keep you company? He’s your son and Gu Wei’s brother. Given Gu Wei’s condition, he’d likely want to see Mr. Gu too.”
“What’s the use of Gu Cheng coming over? As a man, he doesn’t know how to take care of people. Manman, you should stay here; I’m at ease with you here.”
Wan Manyu looked at Gu Wei again and then nodded.
