Chapter 99 - You Can Humiliate Me As You Wish

Seeing his indifferent look, Changqing cried even more bitterly, as though the heavens missed a hole and rain kept falling.

“Alright, don’t cry anymore. You cried just because I told you off a little.” Song Chuyi’s cold and handsome face frowned. “Your assistant is too much too; she’s not at all reliable. I think you should get someone else.”

“No,” Changqing quickly started while choking.

Song Chuyi’s face sank further. “Do you want something similar to happen again? As an assistant, she should put her artist’s safety at the forefront. I already wanted to tell her off when she accepted that kind of commercial before.”

“You know nothing.” Changqing sniffed and said, “From the time I entered this industry, Wen Tong’s been with me wholeheartedly. She might not be the best manager but these past few years, she’s been looking for resources for me wholeheartedly and never left me. Honestly, I’m not an exceptionally intelligent person and after being in this industry for so many years, I didn’t change for the better. If it was anyone else, the manager would’ve left. What happened today might’ve been due to inconsideration on her part but an artist and her assistant work together. I’m usually stupid and couldn’t get my head on straight, but she didn’t despise me, so I shouldn’t despise her either.”

Song Chuyi saw her stubborn look and sneered helplessly. “You still understand that you’re stupid huh.”

“Enough.” Changqing stared with her wet, amorous eyes. “Don’t think that just because you saved me, you can humiliate me as you wish.”

Song Chuyi snorted. “You artists are just fake.”

“Talking as though you’re not,” Changqing mumbled softly.

“What did you say?” Song Chuyi questioned.

“Nothing. I said I’m hungry.” Changqing covered her stomach and looked like an aggrieved little wife. “So hungry. Since I’m already staying here, shouldn’t you be more considerate? I’m your wife, after all.”

Song Chuyi sighed. Lately, he felt like he’d been raising a daughter.

“Sit here. I’ll go to the canteen to get food.”

He went too late and there weren’t many ribs left. The auntie at the canteen simply gave him all that was left.

When he returned to the ward, Changqing was famished and couldn’t be bothered with whether the dishes were to her liking. She ate while holding up the box of rice.

Song Chuyi picked a few pieces of ribs for her. Changqing stopped for a while and looked at the cold man beside her but felt a stream of warmth in her heart.

She recalled the times she saw her brother-in-law, Lin Yiqin, and Changxin eating, and they were always like this. Lin Yiqin always picked Changxin’s favorite food for his wife.

Changqing was envious when she watched them, always hoping that in the future, her husband would be like her brother-in-law.

But she never thought that even though her husband was very good, he would have a prior relationship with her best friend…

She would rather he treat her poorly. That way, she would have a thousand reasons to not like him.

But he would always show up when she was in the most helpless of times. Although he would scold her, Yan Lei said before that only the closest people would be willing to scold you. Those who weren’t close to you would leave you to fend for yourself.

Changqing’s throat felt sour and she said in a soft voice, “You’re so annoying…”

Song Chuyi’s handsome face darkened and he picked the ribs back. “I’m not giving them to you anymore.”

“No way, you can’t take back what you gave.” Changqing sandwiched his chopsticks.

Both of them refused to give in for a while but the ribs still dropped back into her bowl. Changqing curled her lips up with satisfaction.

Song Chuyi froze for a while and cursed silently at her. One would indeed become childish after living too long with a childish person.

After the meal, Changqing yawned and asked lazily, “When are we going back?”

“There are still a few patients who have yet to pass the critical period. I have to work overtime tonight. I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back,” Song Chuyi said with an indistinct expression. “Rest for a while with me and I’ll send someone to drive you back to the Yan Household to sleep later.”

“Why should I sleep with you?” Changqing turned her head away. Her ears were burning. She thought of something she shouldn’t have.

Song Chuyi noticed and lowered his head to kiss her ear. Changqing blushed and shrank lower. Her cute little look triggered Song Chuyi a little but he was too tired and didn’t have any energy. He simply cuddled her and lay down. “Sleep for a while.”

Changqing twisted her body and he pressed her down, saying in a low and husky voice by her ear, “Don’t make a fuss. I don’t have much time to sleep at night.”

Changqing could hear the weariness in his voice and laid still.

Song Chuyi fell asleep first and Changqing fell asleep not long after, lying in his arms.

On the street with the waning light.

Fu Yu sat in a Porsche at the entrance, slightly intoxicated. His assistant, Longxin, closed the door and walked over to the driver’s seat. He looked at Fu Yu in the back and hesitated to speak. “CEO Fu…?”

“What’s up? Speak,” Fu Yu started deeply.

“It’s concerning Miss Yan.” Longxin handed him his phone. It was playing a video of Changqing lying on the hospital floor. Soon after, Song Chuyi walked over and picked her up.

Fu Yu’s expression didn’t look good. He lifted his head and said to Longxin, “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

“You were discussing serious matters with CEO Jiang and the others, so I couldn’t bring it up,” Longxin replied with fear and trepidation.

Fu Yu gave Changqing a call immediately. He couldn’t reach her—her phone was off.

He told his assistant angrily, “Check if she went back home or if she’s still at the hospital.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Longxin didn’t even dare to breathe out heavily, nodding quickly.

When Fu Yu recalled how Changqing lay in Song Chuyi’s embrace helplessly in the video, he felt inexplicably flustered.

What was with that doctor? Coming into his field of vision time and again. Previously it was at the dinner party and he even left with Changqing…

In the ward, Changqing woke up to find herself alone. It was dark outside.

It was her first time being in a hospital ward alone and she felt a little scared. She switched her phone on immediately and there were tons of missed calls from Guan Ying, Jiang Duoyao, Fu Yu…

Chuyi called Song Chuyi, “Where are you? When did you leave?”

“I’m seeing a patient. Since you’re awake, I’ll arrange a car for you. In 30 minutes, the Song Family chauffeur will pick you up from the ward, so don’t wander around,” Song Chuchu instructed her in a low voice and hung up after that.

Changqing calculated the time and it was enough for her to visit Guan Ying.

After changing her shoes, she went downstairs.

Guan Ying was on the sixth floor. Changqing went around but couldn’t find the ward and happened to see a nurse in the duty room on her right. She wanted to go in and ask but just as she reached the entrance, she heard the two nurses talking inside.

“Dr. Song is so amazing. Forget about the Hospital Director’s daughter chasing him around in the hospital. Now, even Guan Ying is pestering him. Dr. Song has been in her mother’s ward for half an hour and hasn’t come out yet. Say, wasn’t it just a slight knock on the head? Is there really a need for Dr. Song to show up himself?”

“Aye, you have no idea. I heard Dr. Song used to date Guan Ying. People from the hospital saw Guan Ying coming to look for Dr. Song a few times last year.”

“No wonder. Are they making up?”

“Who knows? Don’t talk about Guan Ying; Yan Changqing is staying on the eighth floor. Many people saw Dr. Song carrying her into the ambulance in the afternoon.”

“Dr. Song is too affectionate.” The nurse sighed. “Luckily I didn’t fall for him. Otherwise, I would feel terrible.”

“No choice. Dr. Song is rich and handsome and also highly skilled. Women, despite knowing that it would be equivalent to Mt. Everest ahead, would still want to attempt to climb it.”

Changqing turned away and left the duty room silently.

When she came down earlier, she was limping because her leg was injured and it hurt.

But now she was oblivious to it, as though she couldn’t feel any pain.

It was as if she had returned to her freshman year in University and watched Fu Yu and his family move to the States.

Everything in the vicinity seemed dark.

She finally understood why Song Chuyi lowered his voice so much when he picked up the call just now. The patient he was talking about was Guan Ying’s mother.

He still cares so much for Guan Ying. Is it because he still likes her?

“Chuyi, thank you for today.” The door of the ward in front opened and Guan Ying’s voice could be heard.

Changqing got a shock and hid into the adjacent ward subconsciously.

She saw Song Chuchu and Guan Ying walking past the door. Song Chuyi had his back towards her, but from her angle, she could see the trust and affection on Guan Ying’s delicate face.

Chuyi looked at their back. Song Chuyi was just a head taller than Guan Ying—the perfect height between couples.

She lowered her head and looked at her shadow on the floor. It was lonely. The rims of her eyes reddened suddenly.

“I’m a doctor; it’s what I should do…” Song Chuyi was oblivious to the person staring at him from behind as he spoke lightly.

“Chuyi…” Guan Ying’s eyes reddened and she gazed at him emotionally. “I already broke up with Fu Yu. All this time, I kept thinking about the past when we were together. I never thought that you would still be willing to help me time and time again.”

“Guan Ying, it was only because you’re filial to your mother.” Song Chuyi lowered his head and clipped his pen to his breast pocket. Images of her mother’s thin and frail appearance, as well as the injuries on her body, flashed through his mind. He could roughly understand what kind of environment Guan Ying grew up in and he sighed in his heart as he said, “Then have you thought about whether your Dad and your brother would take it lying down after you got your mother to stay here?”

Guan Ying endured silently and shook her head. “We’ll take it a day at a time.”

“Just let you Mom stay in the hospital first, I still have something on, don’t see me off. Go back to the ward,” Song Chuyi stopped in his tracks.

Guan Ying forced out a smile and nodded. When she turned to leave, she suddenly looked back and said, “Right, thank you for what happened in the afternoon too.”

“Afternoon?” Song Chuyi was stunned.

“You saved Changqing, she is a good friend of mine,” Guan Ying said, “She might be here to visit my Mom. I have known her for years. It’s all thanks to you.”

“Known for years?” Song Chuyi turned over slowly, the colour in his eyes solidified.

“Yeah, she is my roommate in University and we are especially close, not like others. She also knew about us so thank you, really.” Guan Ying’s face was full of sincerity.

“… No problem,” Song Chuyi was silent for a long while before leaving expressionlessly.

It was then he felt like he had heard a joke.

Yan Changqing was actually Guan Ying’s good friend.

Was there a mistake? He actually found his ex-girlfriend’s good friend to be his wife.

Although this is a big world full of extraordinary things, he did not want to encounter something like this too.

What made him even more furious was that Yan Changqing knew about his relationship with Guan Ying and did not say anything at all.
