In the office, just as Qiao Yu was about to kneel down to inspect Fu Shinian’s leg, he was stopped by a gesture from Shinian:
"Check Su Mu first."
Standing on the side, Su Mu was startled by the remark: "I’m fine."
Qiao Yu imdiately understood Fu Shinian’s intention and stood up, saying seriously, "Although you don’t feel any obvious external injuries or pain right now, there might still be internal injuries, so we can’t take it lightly. I’ll still write you up for a comprehensive examination, so we can be reassured."
"I really am fine, nearly a day has passed, and I haven’t felt any pain anywhere. You don’t need to worry about , just check on Shinian quickly. He was massaging his leg all the way here on the way back; I’m worried he was really hit and has sustained so serious injuries."
As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, she caught Fu Shinian’s gaze. For a mont, she couldn’t understand what Fu Shinian really ant, but his eyes seed disapproving. Su Mu suddenly realized sothing:
"Do you have sothing to discuss? Then I’ll wait outside for you."
Qiao Yu spoke up, "Since you’re waiting anyway, why don’t I send you for an examination?"
Saying this, he walked to the office desk and wrote up a series of test orders for Su Mu, then called for the on-duty nurse to accompany her. Seeing this, Su Mu felt it unwise to insist further and reluctantly followed the nurse out, while Qiao Yu couldn’t help laughing:
"Su Mu’s feelings for you are as clear as day."
Hearing this, Fu Shinian looked at Qiao Yu. Normally, this should have been a happy matter, but sohow he felt it was ironic and laughed at himself, "Is that so?"
"You can’t see it? Then you must be blind."
Qiao Yu was too lazy to continue debating this topic with him. It was up to them to sort out their marital issues. After all, they had been at it for two years already, and Qiao Yu had noticed a pattern: regardless of the turmoil, Fu Shinian had no plans for a divorce from Su Mu.
Kneeling down, he rolled up Fu Shinian’s trouser leg to reveal a large bruise on his knee and a nearly 20-centiter-long bloodstain on his shin. He couldn’t help but look up at him:
"You endured this for a day?"
Fu Shinian shifted his leg: "It just hurts a bit, doesn’t affect walking."
"Mmm, I don’t think it’s lethal." Qiao Yu pressed a few more tis, but Fu Shinian showed no reaction at all: "Doesn’t hurt?"
"It’s bearable."
Qiao Yu got up: "I suggest we take an X-ray to be sure, even though it’s unlikely to be a fracture, just to be safe."
Fu Shinian had no objections and simply let his trouser leg down, while Qiao Yu sat in front of the computer, began writing up an order, and asked Fu Shinian:
"Was this incident also caused by Qin Nianwan?"
"No," Fu Shinian replied indifferently, "She called over just to borrow so money; even though she knew in advance that Su Mu would be there, it wouldn’t make sense to wait for to arrive before taking any action."
Qiao Yu nodded in agreent:
"If Qin Nianwan were that foolish, the person back then wouldn’t have chosen her."
After saying it, he glanced at Fu Shinian: "Has that person contacted Qin Nianwan yet?"
"No, not yet," Fu Shinian said.
"So you’re just going to let Qin Nianwan keep hanging around you like this? Even a blind man can see she still has feelings for you. I really worry that if this continues, you two might reignite old flas. Even though it’s unlikely, you did have real feelings for her at the beginning."
Fu Shinian: "That was in the past."
"The past is the past, what about now? Although I don’t know exactly what happened then, Song Yi said that today you saved Su Mu with no regard for your own life. Don’t tell it’s just because Su Mu is your wife, I don’t believe you have no feelings for her."
Fu Shinian chuckled lightly:
"Even without feelings, after sleeping together for two years, one can develop sothing unique."
Qiao Yu, "Fine, keep being stubborn. By the way, what did Qin Nianwan borrow money for?"
"I don’t know."
"Did you lend it to her?"
"Why wouldn’t I?"
Qiao Yu: I shouldn’t have asked. The world of the wealthy, he really didn’t know much about it.
Fu Shinian’s dical results ca back quickly, confirming only bruising and scratches, nothing serious. In contrast, Su Mu’s series of tests would be slower, with results expected by tomorrow at the earliest.
After a simple al with Qiao Yu at the hospital, the two returned to Bishui Yuntian. Auntie Lin was happy to see Su Mu, knowing she was worried about her four days of leaving ho possibly hurting her relationship with Fu Shinian. Su Mu gave her a comforting smile, reassuring her not to worry.
In the master bedroom, Fu Shinian took off his coat intending to shower. Su Mu had already examined the wound on his leg and, worried about him contacting water, reminded him:
"Be careful not to get it wet."
Fu Shinian paused, glanced at her teasingly, "Worried? Why don’t you help wash?"
Su Mu blushed slightly as she looked at him:
"Nevermind, just be careful."
Fu Shinian humd lightly without saying more, then went into the bathroom.
When Su Mu returned from washing up to the bedroom, Fu Shinian was already sitting on the bed, wearing gold-rimd glasses, working on his laptop with serious concentration, which made her take a few more looks at him before she inevitably laughed.
She picked up the ointnt and stood by the bed, softly ntioning:
"I’ll apply the dicine for you."
Fu Shinian, without even lifting his eyelids, responded, "Hmm."
Probably mindful of the leg injury, he wore a sumr loungewear today. His long, strong legs would have looked perfect if not for the scars. Perhaps because of the shower, the bruise on his knee appeared more severe, although the wound on his lower leg had not worsened.
She gently applied the ointnt to the wound, softly blowing on it, the cool breeze feeling on his skin made Fu Shinian inadvertently look up. Such an act was sothing he might have seen only in scenes where adults coddled children, blowing intermittently, was she worried it might hurt him?
Fu Shinian had lost interest in working. He closed his laptop and focused on watching the woman earnestly applying dicine on him.
When massaging the bruised knee with dicinal wine which required so pressure, Fu Shinian instinctively flinched. Su Mu, nervously lifting her eyes to him, asked:
"Am I pressing too hard?"
Fu Shinian intended to deny it, but his mind directed his right hand to suddenly pull Su Mu into a strong embrace. Su Mu, caught off guard, exclaid, then began worrying whether she had knocked over the dicinal wine she had placed by her feet. She attempted to get out of bed to check but was firmly held back by Fu Shinian.
Looking up at him in that mont, Su Mu knew what he wanted to do.
She hesitated before speaking:
"You, your leg is injured. It’s not convenient..."
Fu Shinian smiled slightly, brushed the stray hair behind her ear, and whispered:
"That’s why this ti, you’ll be on top."
